Squeak—
The door to the tavern was pushed open.
A weary traveler strode in.
As soon as he entered the tavern, everyone's eyes fell on him.
In such a remote and impoverished place, the arrival of an outsider naturally attracts everyone's attention.
He took off his hat, face mask, and scarf, revealing a weathered young face.
This outsider was surprisingly young!
"Waiter!"
He strode up to the counter and shouted loudly.
"Bring two catties of good wine and a catty of beef."
The wine seller was a young girl with dark skin and rosy cheeks. She had her hair simply tied in a ponytail and wore a sheepskin skirt as she came out from the kitchen to greet us.
Upon seeing the boy, the girl's first reaction was unexpected.
"According to the laws of the Great Chu, minors are not allowed to drink alcohol."
The boy rolled his eyes, snorted coldly, and tossed out a silver token.
The token struck the hardwood counter with a crisp sound, causing another ripple.
Exorcists?!
Such a young exorcist?!
Unfortunately, no online novelist followed the boy, otherwise they would definitely have written a book called "The Great Chu Exorcist" based on his experiences.
It's highly likely to become popular.
Unfortunately, I cannot write about it.
After the boy showed his token, the girl selling alcohol remained rooted to the spot, not moving an inch.
The boy was somewhat dissatisfied.
What are you still standing there for?
He's an adult, and he could easily drink alcohol, let alone have three kids in one sitting!
The girl selling alcohol said cautiously.
"We don't have any good wine here."
juvenile:......
The girl added another sentence.
There was no beef either.
Finally, a large bowl of goat milk wine and a pound of mutton were placed in front of the boy.
Clearly, this did not meet the boy's expectations.
Not chivalrous enough.
After finishing the goat milk wine and the goat meat, the boy wiped his greasy hands on the ground and let out a satisfied burp.
"Is there a monster here called Yang Huang?"
A sheep shortage?
Upon hearing this, the tavern owner's expression changed, and the other patrons also became wary.
The male homeowner stepped forward and said in a cold voice,
"The affairs of the plateau are not under the jurisdiction of the Great Chu."
"You are not welcome here, you blasphemer, please leave."
Even exorcists are not welcome.
The reason is simple.
For hundreds, even thousands of years, sheep famine has been the sole ruler of this plateau.
They are like gods, possessing power unimaginable to mortals, capable of destroying the world with every move.
Even exorcists are helpless against the Sheep Famine.
Legend has it that Yanghuang is a wondrous creature born at the beginning of time, existing alongside the heavens.
Not to mention this world, even if powerful beings from other worlds came, they would be unable to do anything to the Sheep God.
The Great Chu once spent a lot of money to invite several powerful figures from outside the country.
After entering this realm, these powerful individuals were suppressed and were killed by Yang Huang!
Disgusting!
From then on, the plateau became the territory ruled by the sheep famine.
The Great Chu is the secular ruler, and exorcists can exorcise demons anywhere, but this plateau is inaccessible to them.
That's why people were so surprised when the exorcist reappeared.
The boy, though driven away, showed no displeasure; he stood up and left the tavern.
Under the moonlight, the girl hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
The boy asked bluntly,
"You know about the sheep famine?"
The girl countered with a question,
"You want to know?"
"right."
"The Sheep God is terrifying."
"I'm not afraid."
"I cannot tell you anything about the sheep god."
"Then why did you chase after me?"
"You didn't pay."
juvenile:......
The boy touched his pocket, his face becoming even more embarrassed.
"I have no money."
......
The penniless boy and the girl selling alcohol chatted for a long time.
The Sheep God is a god who has existed since the beginning of time and possesses boundless divine power.
Most of the time, the sheep god is asleep.
Every so often, a young girl must be sacrificed to keep the goat god asleep.
This year marks the day of the grand festival.
The person chosen... was the young girl.
The girl didn't know why she was telling these things to a stranger.
She wanted to persuade the stranger to leave quickly and not stay here.
Exorcists are not welcome on the plateau.
As long as Yang Huang lives, they will have to live in this shadow.
After that day, the girl who sold alcohol never saw the boy again, nor did she hear any news about him.
Sometimes she would inquire cautiously.
Every expectation only leads to disappointment.
The boy probably listened to her and went elsewhere to exorcise the demon.
The girl often wondered why she was so stupid.
You should ask the other person's name.
At least there's something to look forward to.
The day has finally arrived.
The day of the sacrifice.
The meticulously dressed girl sat on a bone palanquin, slowly walking towards the abyss to the accompaniment of drumbeats and singing.
The goat god dwells in this deep abyss.
The concert will awaken the sheep god, and at that time, the girl will be thrown into the abyss, thus completing the human sacrifice.
"Are you dying?"
A voice came from above the girl's head.
She looked up, but saw nothing.
When she looked down again, the boy appeared in front of her.
The boy leaned against the bone sedan chair, holding a green pear he had somehow acquired. He took a bite and found it fragrant and crisp.
Upon seeing the boy, the girl was initially delighted, but the sparkle in her eyes quickly dimmed.
