Jiang Li had a sneer on his face.
Although he said this, he would not really act like a fool and take the responsibility on himself.
Say something like, it was he who harmed those children.
These four-handed villagers wanted to blame him before, but it was just because they were afraid of the strong and wanted to bully the "weak".
The four-handed people are also human beings, and people always have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. They cannot deal with the strong, and they don’t even have the courage to blame the old lady of Mingshan.
By putting the blame on an outsider who seems easy to talk to, they won't suffer any loss and can also vent their resentment. Why not do it?
Unfortunately, the target they picked this time was harder than they had imagined.
Judging from what they did just now, with Jiang Li's temper, if he didn't see that they were still of some use and were a rare surviving ancient remnant, he would have slapped them to death long ago.
However, it is really despicable that the old lady from Mingshan robbed children in front of the descendant of the Human Emperor.
This short moment made Jiang Li extremely upset, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Fortunately, he stopped the four-handed villagers from talking trash in time, otherwise it would not be as simple as just lying here for a few days.
"I can go up the mountain and rescue those children."
"But, you guys..."
Jiang Li didn't finish his words and glanced at the four-handed people lying on the ground.
The village heads immediately understood and kowtowed to Jiang Li repeatedly.
"Sir! Thank you for your kindness! You helped me regardless of past grudges!"
"If Master Jiang Li can save the children of our village, all of us in the Four Hands tribe will obey your orders!"
"I will build temples and temples for you, erect monuments and statues! I will kowtow and kneel down to you every day, light candles and burn incense. I dare not make any mistakes! My Lord!"
These village chiefs are worthy of being village chiefs, they are very sensible and directly said what Jiang Li wanted.
Jiang Li didn't even move his hands just now, but he defeated all of them and convinced them.
Although they cannot compare, who is more powerful, Grandma Mingshan or this powerful traveler.
But having a strong man like this to stand up for them is their last hope.
If those hundreds of children were all eaten, the hope of survival for these thousands of four-handed people would be gone.
After struggling for hundreds of years, it was still a meaningless tragedy in the end. It would be better to fall into the abyss of the sea of clouds together.
"Sir, the old lady of Mingshan likes to use our people on the full moon night to treat the demons on Wanli Beiyin Mountain to a feast... a feast for living people."
"Now, it's only three days away from the full moon rising."
"But sir, no one can go up that mountain without the consent of the Queen of Mingshan."
The demons like to feast on living people, so they won't kill people so quickly. There is still a chance that those children can be rescued.
But on this mountain, yin and yang are reversed, and the universe is reversed. Once you step in, you will have to step out the next time.
There have been warriors in their tribe who wanted to go up the mountain to fight demons.
Not to mention whether they are overestimating their own capabilities.
For hundreds of years, no one has been able to advance even a step further from the foot of the mountain.
For creatures outside the native Beiyin Mountain, the natural reversal field is indeed an almost insurmountable gap.
But Jiang Li doesn't care about that.
His figure flashed in the air, and in a moment he had crossed the stalagmite area and stepped onto the land of the shady mountain.
The imagined scene of the joints twisting and turning, breaking themselves, and then falling into the void did not occur.
Jiang Li paused for a moment and then walked towards the mountain.
Those terrifying rules of heaven and earth seemed to be completely non-existent in his body.
Standing in the distance and watching Jiang Li easily step onto Beiyin Mountain, the few awake four-handed village chiefs were surprised, but a glimmer of hope also rose in their hearts.
Perhaps, this adult can really succeed.
The degree of their decisive choice actually included the consideration of seeking Jiang Li's protection.
If Jiang Li can hold off the clutches of that old lady from Mingshan, their future days will definitely be a thousand times better than they are now.
After all, the traveler was a non-cannibal and had a large amount of delicious meat.
. . . .
"What a loud noise."
"But there seems to be a place ahead where I can ask for directions."
At the foot of the mountain, Jiang Li took out the earth-level magic weapon, the Listening Ears.
With the help of the Heart Sutra of Guanyin, he wanted to try to find the whereabouts of the so-called Goddess of the Underworld Mountain.
But this Shady Mountain is actually a huge divine punishment that spans the entire fragment of the underworld.
The area it covered was so large that even though his straight-line detection range was 50,000 miles, he couldn't hear any boundary after listening left and right.
Instead, the wailing of ghosts and gods everywhere on the mountain gave him a chill.
However, not far ahead on the mountain road below him, he heard something different.
After going up for a while, the terrain gradually became flatter.
However, the road ahead was plunged into deep darkness.
Originally, under the moonlight, the mountain road could be barely seen clearly.
It was as if something was swallowing up the front, covering it in inky black.
A cold wind blew over the mountain, and the black shadows swayed slightly. If you listened carefully, you could hear alluring and lascivious sounds coming from it.
In that dark place, there were some things that Jiang Li felt familiar with, but he couldn't tell where they were coming from.
"Sir, you have come a long way, are you tired?"
An old woman walked out slowly from the black shadows.
She lowered her head, leaned on a crutch, her face could not be seen clearly, and she was holding a green paper lantern in her hand.
When Jiang Li looked around again, he found that the road surface that he could barely see clearly before was now covered by darkness. He couldn't even see his own hands clearly.
In such darkness, although the lantern has an odd color, it makes people feel at ease for some reason.
"Don't blame me, sir. Lighting a fire on this mountain is likely to attract bad things. I can only catch some fireflies to light the way."
"The ground is uneven, so you have to step carefully."
When the old woman came closer, she could indeed see through the thin lantern paper that there were a dozen fireflies the size of soybeans lying inside.
Those green lights are emitted by these little bugs.
Such a reasonable explanation naturally makes people feel more at ease.
"The house in front is my humble home. I am the only one here with my granddaughters and me. If you don't mind, please come and have some tea and stay for a few days."
After the old woman finished speaking, she didn't wait for Jiang Li to reply. She turned around and staggered into the darkness again.
The instinctive fear of darkness makes people want to follow.
Jiang Li did not hesitate, and followed the old lady at full speed.
The old woman walked unsteadily, but every time he tried to overtake her, no matter how hard he accelerated, he failed.
Looking down at the other person's footsteps, the old woman clearly had her back to him, but the toes under her coarse black skirt were pointing directly at Jiang Li.
“There are some tricks.”
After seeing so many people with four hands on the top and bottom, it is not so difficult to accept a pair of feet that can be turned 180 degrees.
Jiang Li was just trying to mobilize some power from the earth veins to fight with the other party, but he had only moved forward a hundred steps when a quaint little building with red gauze curtains hanging everywhere appeared in front of him.
The original, exciting and lascivious music was now replaced by the silver bell-like laughter of girls playing and playing.
From time to time, a few graceful youthful figures flashed behind the drifting curtains, appearing and disappearing, which made people imagine a lot.

When the old lady noticed that Jiang Li was staring at her granddaughter, she didn't get angry, but instead sighed.
"Alas, it's all because my old man passed away early, and my old cow also died of illness. Since then, we can never leave this mountain again."
"I am an old woman, so it's fine for me to stay in the mountains. But it's a pity for these innocent girls from the Huang family who haven't found a husband yet."
"If I have to die alone like this... I am really committing a sin..."
"I'm really sorry, I'm the one who talks too much. I tend to be a bit talkative when I get older. Please don't blame me, sir."
"Young Master, please go to your room and rest first. I will ask my granddaughters to serve you tea."
The old woman led Jiang Li into the small building, then ran to the inner room without looking back, leaving Jiang Li sitting alone in the guest room.
Others wanted to invite him to tea, and Jiang Li was a reasonable man, so how could he just come up and call for fighting and killing?
Sitting casually in the small building, the red candles flickered beside me and the red gauze around me swayed in the wind.
But apart from that, it seemed that the whole world only had this small building left. In the outside world, even if you took one more step, you would not see anything.
Even he couldn't find any clues about this cover. He could only face the darkness and cast the identification spell everywhere.
After waiting in the small building for a while, a few girls in cool clothes came in shyly.
There were four girls in total.
The eldest granddaughter wore a red veil, and was beautiful and intelligent.
The second granddaughter was wearing a blue gauze dress, looking graceful and elegant.
The third granddaughter was wearing green gauze, looking graceful and charming.
The little granddaughter was wearing purple gauze, looking petite and cute.
"Sir, we four sisters each made a cup of tea."
"If you can guess who made which cup of tea."
"Our sister will belong to you from now on."
"If you guess everything correctly, then the four of us sisters can... can also share a husband."
Each of them held a cup of tea and presented it to Jiang Li with great anticipation.
The tea fragrance is charming, and the aroma of the tea can make your bones go soft.
The four girls were wearing pieces of gauze that were almost completely transparent, and under the red candlelight, their skin as smooth as cream was clearly visible.
If Ning Caichen came here, I'm afraid he wouldn't know which one to choose.
Jiang Li smiled silently, took the four cups of tea, tilted his head back and drank them all down his throat.
The aroma of the tea was mixed with the aroma of the four girls. With Jiang Li's keen senses, it was not difficult at all to identify them one by one.
The four girls immediately blushed with embarrassment, cried out "Ah!", and ran back to their boudoirs.
That kind of expression was only because Qin Shuman was not there at the moment, otherwise she would have jumped out and pointed at their noses and cursed at them.
However, what surprised Jiang Li was that the tea was not poisonous! ? This made Jiang Li, who was ready to attack at any time, feel like he had punched cotton.
The expression on his face was extremely awkward.
Why didn't this group of people play by the rules? When Jiang Li was thinking, the old woman came in again.
I couldn't see clearly because of the dim light just now, but now under the red candlelight, I can see the front of the old woman.
She stood with her heels forward and her thumbs downward. She had only one eye on her chin, two mouths on her forehead, and a nose pointing upwards. She looked very strange no matter how you looked at her.
But this person didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior. He held a wedding invitation and walked towards Jiang Li with a happy face.
"Thank you for not looking down on my granddaughters' vulgarity. This is their marriage invitation. As long as you sign it, the four of them will be yours."
"If I am blessed, I can give birth to a son or daughter for you. If I am unlucky, even if I serve you as a maid, it is much better than dying of old age in this deep mountain."
"I am not someone who does not know the rules. Here is a copy of their dowry. As long as you sign, it will all be yours."
The old woman with a strange expression handed the wedding invitation to Jiang Li, and then took him to the backyard to see the dowry.
Jiang Li looked at the wedding invitation left and right, but couldn't find anything wrong with it.
This wedding invitation was not a cursed trap to cheat people of their life span. Instead, it was just as the old woman said. As long as they signed their names, the four girls would be his.
Because in this wedding invitation, the soul origins of the four paths are clearly sealed. To put it nicely, it is a wedding invitation, but to put it bluntly, it is the most stringent slave contract.
Jiang Li was really puzzled. No matter how powerful the merit and blessing was, it couldn't be this level. But what on earth was the other party trying to achieve with this series of actions?
When he went up Beiyin Mountain, he was 200% alert.
Who would have thought that the first thing he encountered would be so incomprehensible to him.
He didn't believe that they really had no other intentions by putting away the wedding invitations for the time being.
I followed the old woman to the back, and as soon as I opened the small door to the backyard, a refreshing spiritual energy from the earth hit me in the face.
In front of him was a piece of transparent crystal that was more than two people tall, in the shape of a skull, and dark in color.
Just from the spiritual energy from the earth that just came out, Jiang Li could conclude that the value of this crystal was no less than that of a top-grade spiritual stone of the same weight.
Such a big piece cannot be exchanged even if you sell ten earth-level magic weapons.
And this thing looked very familiar to him.
He must have seen something like this before.
Hey! Jiang Li cast an identification spell.
Then he suddenly realized something and looked at the old woman next to him. He had already guessed most of her details.
No wonder this person was so polite to him.
It turns out that marrying off the granddaughter was just an excuse. The real purpose was to use Jiang Li to take the crystal out of Beiyin Mountain!
"Senior, it must be the spirit of Beiyin Mountain!"
