After saying that, the huge hand stretched out towards the two crying children, with greed in his eyes.
"Evil beast!"
Suddenly, an angry shout was heard from somewhere, followed by a surge of flames, like the blooming of hellfire. There was a loud "bang", and the "tiger" that had turned into a stone statue exploded instantly, its mind annihilated by the flames!
Even the monster named "Tiger" died on the spot without even a scream!
"ah?!"
The sudden change was so great that before anyone could react, they realized that the 'Tiger' they regarded as their guardian god had split apart on the spot and turned into a pile of rubble.
Instead, there was a handsome Onmyoji wearing a dark white hunting robe and with a half-smile on his face.
The smooth and fair face reveals a sharp and handsome look; the black and deep eyes are full of charming color; the thick eyebrows, high nose and beautiful lips all show nobility and elegance.
This face has both the coldness of a man and the gentleness of a woman. It is difficult to tell the gender at first glance, but one thing is certain: no matter whether a man or a woman sees this person, they will feel a thrill and can't help but want to take a second look.
"You...you are..."
The young people in the village were excited. Looking at this dreamlike figure, they were tongue-tied and didn't know how to start. Their eyes were full of admiration.
The old man was worried and looked at him anxiously, not daring to make any movements for fear of attracting his attention.
In their impression, Onmyojis are all big shots and belong to the upper class. In the past, they often heard that Onmyojis took action to capture the escaped people under their rule.
The Yin-Yang Master glanced at the villagers around him, shook his head, and said, "I am Tian Yuqingzhong. Who among you is the person in charge?"
The name 'Amanomi Harunaka' was unfamiliar to them, but the fact that this man had killed 'Mountain King' with a single blow undoubtedly told them that this was someone they couldn't afford to offend. The old man immediately stepped forward and flattered them, "Master Onmyoji, I am the head of this place. What can I do for you?"
"Within five days, move out of here and return to the human world." The Yin-Yang master who called himself Tian Yuqingzhong spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, the old people sighed, said "as expected", and then their faces turned pale and they did not dare to move.
Those young people had not yet been exposed to the harshness of society and naturally had no idea what the outside world was like. When they heard that they could move out of the mountains, they immediately cheered.
"I know what you're thinking."
Tian Yuqing glanced at the old people who looked ashen and said slowly, "Don't worry, I came here to save you from danger."
"This world is truly too chaotic. I will put everything back on track, I will make all injustices disappear, and I will end this era!"
Hearing Tian Yuqingzhong's grand ambition, the old men looked at each other, not understanding what Tian Yuqingzhong wanted to do.
To such big men, they are like ants at their feet. There is no need to win over the hearts and minds of the people. Their choices are irrelevant. They are just small people.
"If you don't want to leave the mountains, that's fine. I won't force you."
Seeing that the old men seemed still hesitant, Tian Yuqingzhong shook his head and spoke slowly, without any intention of forcing them.
Come if you want, then forget it if you don’t want.
Everything had been said, and Tian Yuqingzhong naturally would not stay for long. His figure slowly disappeared here and disappeared without a trace.
The remaining villagers began to discuss heatedly. What happened today had a huge impact on them.
First, the 'Tiger' who had protected the village for decades died, and then the Onmyoji Tian Yuqingzhong arrived.
Choosing between making changes and maintaining the status quo will have a profound impact on the village.
"We should leave the mountains! Master Tian Miqingzhong is right. I am willing to follow Master Tian Miqingzhong and end this era!"
"They're all deceiving us. We can't go out. There's been war outside year after year. They're tricking us into going out to farm and be the first to attack!"
"'Tiger' is dead. There's nothing left to protect us. If we stay here, we'll die sooner or later."
"You can't go out!"
"I want to do big things. I can't just stay in the mountains forever!"
The villagers were divided, but most wanted to follow the Onmyoji named Ama no Harunaka and build a new world. The older generation, former slaves, were adamantly opposed to leaving, wanting to remain in the mountains with the village.
The two sides parted ways unhappily. Early the next morning, a large number of young people gathered with their families and headed towards the world outside the mountain.
They believe in "the clear sky" and also believe in the good impression of the outside world that still exists in their hearts.
When they came down the mountain and returned to this familiar yet unfamiliar village, they were stunned by the bustling crowd.
The number of people here far exceeded their imagination, and most of them had expressions of astonishment, which was not much different from their reactions.
"Could it be that they also came down from the mountains?"
An old man who followed the young people down the mountain unconsciously had an idea in his mind. Seeing so many people gathered together, the good impression in his heart became better and better.
"I have already opened up farmland and built houses. Please rest assured that every one of you will live safely here and live and work in peace and contentment!"
