Zhang Fan just mentioned it casually and thought the boss would look confused!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the shop owner immediately stood up from his chair.
"You, how do you know about the mother-child tree?"
The shop owner's reaction had already told Zhang Fan everything.
It was obvious that the store owner knew, and knew a lot.
Hua Yueying and Li Hongyu looked at each other.
Li Hongyu smiled and said, "Boss, don't be nervous. Can you tell me about it?"
The shop owner frowned tightly, lit a cigarette and smoked most of it, as if he was considering whether he had spoken out of turn.
After a few seconds, he sighed.
This gives people the feeling that this mother-and-child tree is a taboo.
The shop owner's behavior was captured by Lao Bai.
My goodness! Many netizens on the Internet have become so anxious that they have started cursing. It is really because the store owner has kept them in suspense for too long.
After a while, the shop owner lit up another cigarette, took a few deep puffs, and said helplessly: "This mother-and-child tree is actually a tradition that is still passed down in the local mountains."
"I'd like to hear the details!" Zhang Fan said attentively.
"Mr. Zhang Fan, please don't be so polite. I'll just be frank. The reason why I don't want to talk about it is not because I don't want to keep it secret, but rather that it is a tradition, it can't be said to be a feudal superstition that is harmful to people."
When everyone heard the shop owner say this, they became interested.
I listened while eating and drinking.
"In the early years, this tradition was still prevalent. All the most beautiful girls in the village, or those who were particularly smart, would be gathered together around the mother-child tree once they reached the age of marriage."
“This mother-and-child tree is a huge old tree. In the eyes of the mountain people, it is their patron saint.
If these girls came to the tree, and there was any noise coming out of the cave behind the big tree, it would mean that the girl had been noticed by the tree god!
At that time, the selected girl will be sent directly into the cave after a grand ceremony. As for what is inside the cave, no one knows. "
After the shop owner explained this, everyone present felt a chill down their spine.
"Well, did any of the girls who were sent in before come out alive?" Lao Bai asked.
"They have already been sacrificed to the gods. Do you think they can still survive?" The boss sneered, then sighed and said, "Most of those girls have gone to accompany the cave gods."
"God? What kind of god dares to eat humans?"
Zhang Fan asked from the side!
He has seen truly powerful gods!
Especially those immortals, demons and Buddhas who are famous in the Three Realms. But even these beings with great cultivation are wary of mortals!
Because killing a mortal, especially using cruel methods, will bring consequences and may cost you your life in the future when you cross the calamity.
The incident that occurred during the Immortal Cleansing Pond in Heaven brought shame to almost everyone in Heaven.
Because of that incident, Buddhism is now more confident in suppressing the fairy world.
So now, he was indeed very sure in his heart that the one who was killing lives was definitely not a god, but a monster.
The shop owner sighed and said, "There is a living god in the cave behind the mother-and-child tree. All the people in the mountains worship this god.
Later, it seemed that something happened. More than 20 years ago, when I was in my twenties, I saw with my own eyes a girl being sent in.
From that day on, the cave was often visited, and as time went by, fewer and fewer people went there to worship.
Just think about it, a girl in a deep cave would be scared to death if she experienced such symptoms. If there were any poisonous snakes or insects in it, how could she get out? "
The shop owner said this with a very sad tone, and the eyes of the people at the table were spitting fire.
"Tan! Isn't this murderous? Is there such a thing?"
Old White slammed the table, filled with indignation.
Li Hongyu seemed to be thinking about something, and casually replied: "Lao Bai, look at how a big tree is married, but an excellent man like you is still single."
Lao Bai was stunned for a moment, and then Hua Yueying and Li Hongyu started laughing!
The shop owner nearby also laughed and shook his head!
"I have been away from the mountains for many years, but I heard that someone wanted to offer sacrifices to this god again recently!"
She looked up at Zhang Fan hopefully: "Mr. Zhang Fan, there are often many connections behind this kind of thing, but no matter what, a young girl shouldn't be allowed to die. If you really want to investigate this matter, I think you should go into the mountains and take a look. Maybe you can stop it."
Zhang Fan nodded gently: "I came here this time just for the matter of this so-called mother-child tree. If I do nothing, it is very likely that another girl will die in that cave."
The shop owner became even happier when he heard this, and immediately clamored to prepare a large table of dishes for Zhang Fan.
Everyone was chatting and discussing the issue of the appropriate age for marriage.
Compared to the mountains, the marriageable age for girls is definitely different from that in the outside world due to the arrangements of parents and matchmakers.
Therefore, the youngest marriageable age is fifteen or sixteen, and the oldest is no more than twenty-three.
In other words, in order to sacrifice to this so-called god, countless young girls have died in that mountain.
Zhang Fan did not stop. Since he had already heard from the shop owner that this event was about to begin, he naturally would not waste any more time.
So Lao Bai and the others packed up their things and went straight into the mountains along the mountain road.
After walking for more than twenty miles, the surrounding scenery was extremely beautiful, making the audience in the live broadcast room salivate.
Some people even planned to drive here immediately, not to meet up with Zhang Fan and others, but just to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Second, more people knew the purpose of Zhang Fan’s trip.
Many people despise this feudal superstition and begin to promote it spontaneously!
This also brought Zhang Fan's popularity to a new high!
They walked another ten miles into the mountains. Fortunately, Zhang Fan and the others walked very fast and did not feel tired at all. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been too tired to stand up after trekking dozens of miles of mountain roads in a day. If they did not have some skills, they would have been too tired to stand up.
By around seven o'clock in the evening, it was dark and many people were afraid that they might be attacked by wild beasts on the way.
After walking for a while, we finally saw a large village built on the mountainside.
Arriving outside the village, Zhang Fan took out the purple jade bracelet from his arms and infused some spiritual energy into it.
