There are no mountain gods; they are just an excuse for foolish villagers to seek psychological comfort.
Even with annual sacrifices, there is no guarantee of favorable weather and abundant harvests.
During the fall, I saw a familiar figure halfway up the cliff, a priest who acted like a local tyrant in the village.
The priest, who claimed to be dedicated to the greater good of the mountain village and never left his home, actually appeared secretly in the valley with bottles and jars during the sacrifice. Just thinking about it sends chills down one's spine.
The whole village knew that she was highly skilled in Gu poison.
An elderly woman in her sixties or seventies regained her youth through a curse, her skin as delicate as that of an eighteen-year-old girl.
She had met other Gu Masters, and normal Gu Masters would only age more easily than ordinary people. In a flash, she thought of a possibility.
Raising Gu requires flesh and blood, so the sacrifice was just a conspiracy, a shocking scheme by a selfish old woman to preserve her youthful appearance forever.
Even so, the entire village went mad for the priest.
Xiao Cui knew that there was likely a Gu worm controlling her, but ultimately it was also because people's hearts were ugly and they couldn't resist temptation.
"Alright, time's up, Gu Xiaocui. Who do you choose to keep? And who are you going to throw away?"
True despair comes from personal experience; let them all go down there and see their masterpieces.
Without showing herself, Shishi glanced at Xiaoshi, who understood and lifted the priest, who was vomiting blood, with one hand around her waist. With a whoosh, he threw her into the ravine like a rag doll.
By sheer coincidence, they bumped into the village chief.
The snake's tail has loosened.
"Ahhh, roll me up, roll me up!" The village chief was so frightened that his voice cracked.
"Oh dear, it's not my fault. The priest is just lonely and wants to take someone with him on the road to the underworld."
The second brother opened and closed his mouth, speaking in a flat tone, as if he were saying: "They've made plans to go out to eat with their team."
Two screams echoed through the sky until they faded into the valley, and all the villagers trembled uncontrollably.
The joy they felt during the sacrifice is now matched by their fear.
They used to be the mountain gods who protected them, but now they are deadly demons.
"I won't choose any of them, I'll throw them all away." Gu Xiaocui's words broke the silence.
"No, Xiao Cui, I am your father."
“I am your mother, Xiao Cui.”
Whoosh~~
Two more free falls.
The eldest brother sent Gu Xiaocui back to the top of the cliff, where she and the second brother stood side by side on the inner side of the cliff. Under the fearful and puzzled gazes of the villagers, the eldest brother swept his tail, and they all flew away.
Gu Xiaocui said that all the girls were locked up at home and not allowed to come out, so everyone present was an executioner, regardless of age or gender, and none of them deserved sympathy.
Experience the despair of falling off a cliff.
