Chapter 184
There is no point in arguing with children.
Is there a mountain god like this that takes human sacrifices?
It was only when Hao Youqian arrived at the gate of the mountain temple that he realized how stupid this was.
"Come on," Yun Que urged, "Are you afraid?"
"Who, who dares not? I'm afraid you won't keep your word and betray me in front of the tribe members."
He muttered to himself as he peered inside.
Yun Que curled her lips and said, "This Saint Lady would never do such a thing. Besides, the elders of the tribe are not always in the temple. When they have nothing to do, they are in the back hall to manage the affairs.
There are only attendants on duty in the temple."
Shen Jiao understood: No wonder the tribesmen came so quickly that day.
She thought these people would always sit on the altar, but it turned out there was a back hall.
The three of them walked in, and sure enough, there was only the divine servant holding the fruit, standing quietly, like a white stone statue, without even opening his eyes.
"Are they asleep?" Shen Jiao asked.
Yun Que rolled her eyes at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Anyway, since Yunque could remember, she had never seen these people open their eyes.
Unless they have something to do, they will just stand there with their eyes closed. Even if you approach them to talk, they will ignore you.
Those who have served as divine servants cannot explain why. They only know that it is the rule, and anyone who breaks the rule will be kicked out and will never be a divine servant again.
Some people speculate that they can only close their eyes because they are afraid that if they see something, they will go out and tell nonsense, which will bring shame to the mountain god and make believers afraid to go there again.
This statement is quite reliable.
Because these gods' servants are absolutely not allowed to talk nonsense. No matter what they hear or see, they cannot spread it outside. If they tell it, the mountain god will take away their tongue at the very least, and at the worst, he will take their life.
That was the retribution for revealing the secret.
But even though he knew they wouldn't say anything, Yun Que still didn't say anything.
He just urged Hao Youqian: "Are you relieved now? Ask quickly."
Hao Youqian: ...
Just ask, since you are here already.
"Shouldn't I say it?"
"Whatever you want to do." Yunque waved his hand nonchalantly, and knelt on the mat first, closing his eyes, probably complaining in his heart.
Since they were already here, Hao Youqian no longer hesitated. As a result, Shen Jiao became the most awkward one, and she just stood there in a daze.
Shen Jiao would never do such a thing. He knelt down decisively, begged for something randomly, and then ate the holy fruit.
It’s not as delicious as last time, and it’s white inside. It seems like you disagree and don’t want to pay attention to her, right?
No wonder, it is indeed difficult to make money fall from the sky and all fall into her pocket.
Shen Jiao looked over and asked, "How are you guys?"
Hao Youqian is the same as Shen Jiao. Only the lark got the red one, so it is clear who the mountain god is on.
"You have nothing to say now, right? Hurry up and return what you stole. Otherwise, it won't be up to me to say anything. The mountain god will also be angry."
Yunque said this with extreme seriousness.
Hao Youqian's expression was also extremely ugly, but he didn't say anything unpleasant. He just stood up with a cold face and strode out.
Shen Jiao grabbed Yun Que who was about to chase after him and said, "Let him go. You've already told him. It's his business whether he does it or not. Even if he doesn't do it, the mountain god will punish him. If you, a weakling, make him angry, he will definitely beat you up."
"I'm not afraid," Skylark said, then complained, "You won't help me!"
"Isn't this helping you? If it weren't for me, he would have run away long ago."
Shen Jiao would never take the blame.
Yun Que thought about it and said, "Alright, you've done a great job. What did he give us?"
She now remembered to divide the spoils.
Shen Jiao pulled her along and said, "You'll know after you take a look."
Shen Jiao brought her back to the inn, and the two of them divided the things one by one.
Yun Que held up the golden longevity lock and asked Shen Jiao, "How many servants can this buy?"
"I don't know. It depends on how much your servants are worth. But... even if you can change, have you thought about how to explain it? What if someone asks you where the money comes from..."
"I said you gave it to me!"
Shen Jiao: ...
She actually wanted to persuade her not to trade, but she ended up learning how to lie without any instruction.
"Do I look like someone with that kind of spare money?"
"Of course you are. You even bought me sweets and fruits. Maybe you'd buy me a few servants to serve as gods if you were in a good mood. My dear mother, please don't let me know. If anyone asks you, just tell me."
She picked up the smallest piece of jade and put it in Shen Jiao's hand: "If you agree, this will be yours."
"...Okay," Shen Jiao agreed with mixed feelings. "Although I don't know how your Saint chooses, I think you have an 80% chance. If I were the mountain god, I would definitely choose you."
This kind of smart and ambitious person is the best to use.
"Really?! You're quite discerning, stranger! It's not too late for you to be this Saint's servant now. If I want you, I won't want anyone else."
"Then you have good taste."
"so……"
"No."
"Oh," Yun Que leaned against her disappointedly, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. When I become a saint, I'll send someone to pick you up to go out and play. You can't refuse to go then!"
"Don't worry, if that day comes, I'll go there on my own without anyone picking me up. I won't leave unless you chase me away."
Shen Jiao made no secret of her nature of being able to share good times but not bad times.
Yun Que said with disdain: "You outsider, you are so cunning."
"Don't be so modest. You're no less cunning than I am."
When their eyes met, they felt a sense of mutual sympathy.
Shen Jiao treated her to another meal before sending her back. Yunque said that he would treat her again after exchanging money tomorrow, and they also agreed to go together to sell the servant.
Shen Jiao was bored and agreed readily, and also kindly reminded her to be careful of Hao Youqian.
Although that person doesn't look like he would take revenge, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Yunque nodded: "Don't worry, if he dares to bully me, I will shout."
Shen Jiao: ...
It's really hard to feel at ease when she says that.
"Try to be with others and don't be alone."
Shen Jiao could only give this advice and then left.
Fortunately, nothing happened and Hao Youqian did not cause her any trouble. She was just too excited to sleep and got up very early the next day. Before Shen Jiao even opened her eyes, she squatted at the head of the bed.
"How did you get up here?"
"I walked up. I told the owner of the shop that I was your friend, so they invited me up and showed me the way."
Shen Jiao felt a little regretful that he had brought her to the inn yesterday.
Now the owner and the clerk saw them together, so of course she could come and go freely.
