Chapter 313 Yongmu Manor
Yang Xiangwei glanced at everyone and raised her hand slightly to signal everyone to stand up. She opened her red lips slightly, her voice clear but with unquestionable majesty: "Everyone, get up, the disaster has been averted, and there are still many days to come."
As He spoke, He slowly landed in front of everyone. The light around Him gradually faded, and the aura around Him became increasingly gentle, making people feel more intimate.
Luo Lingwei's eyes were red, and she was so excited that she staggered forward and knelt heavily in front of Yang Xiangwei with a plop. She said with tears in her voice, "Thank you, Lord Mountain God. If you hadn't come in time, our entire Yongshu Village would have been destroyed. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse and repay you for saving my life for the rest of my life!"
Her voice was trembling, filled with gratitude for surviving the disaster and deep gratitude to Yang Xiangwei.
Yang Xiangwei leaned forward slightly, with a gentle smile in her eyes, and gently helped Luo Lingwei up, saying softly: "Hurry up, there is no need to perform such a great ceremony. As a mountain god, it is my duty to protect the people of this area. How can I let you work like a slave to repay me?"
He is God, how could He be short of cattle and horses?
If there is a shortage, it will only be of believers.
But... He was a little curious about where they heard his name from and why this ceremony of summoning the gods was held in such a hasty manner.
Fortunately, He is not one of those particularly particular gods, otherwise, based on the unfinished procedures of Yongmu Manor, he would not respond at all.
After hearing Yang Xiangwei's doubts, Luo Lingwei took a deep breath, tried to calm her inner emotions, and slowly said, "Lord Mountain God, this is what happened. I was originally engaged to Zhao Hong from the neighboring village, but he later changed his mind and fell in love with another woman. After I found out, I took the initiative to cancel the engagement, and I thought the matter was over."
Luo Lingwei paused, a trace of anger and regret flashed in her eyes, "I didn't expect that Zhao Hong was narrow-minded and held a grudge. He colluded with these monsters to attack our Yongshu Manor and wanted to take revenge on me."
"When we heard the news, it was too late to build a mountain temple, so we could only rush to Wanhui to invite a statue of you... But before the ceremony was over, the monsters attacked us, so we had to hide in the ancestral hall." Luo Lingwei's eyes moistened again when she said this, and her voice choked a little. "Fortunately, you heard our prayers and appeared in time to save us."
Yang Xiangwei was very surprised when she heard this: "You mean... this monster was actually attracted by Zhao Hong? Who is this Zhao Hong, and how could he attract a monster?!"
He had experienced this once in Lanwa Town, but it was a temple. Could it be that her fiancé is also from the temple?
Luo Lingwei said, "Lord Mountain God, a few years ago, Zhao Hong was spotted by a member of the White Lotus Sect and became an extraordinary person. After that, he changed a little. He looked down on me because I was just a farm girl and was indifferent to me. Our marriage was delayed again and again. Until..."
A rich girl in Quanchun Town fell in love with him, and he immediately forgot their engagement and went to have sex with her.
Her relative who was working in the town accidentally saw them, and her brother came back and told her parents, which led to Luo Lingwei coming to cancel the engagement.
It’s the White Lotus Sect again?
If Yang Xiangwei remembered correctly, there was indeed such a White Lotus Sect in Quanchun Town.
It's a pity that he hasn't taken over Quanchun Town yet, otherwise...
Then, Yang Xiangwei asked Luo Lingwei to bring her father to Yilan Village to pay a visit to the village chief Wumu. Only after they completed the ceremony could they truly receive his protection.
After Yang Xiangwei left, the villagers of Yongmu Village gathered around Luo Wei and started talking about it.
"Village chief, you really have a good daughter! If Ling Wei hadn't invited the mountain god in time, our entire village would have been finished!" An elderly villager patted Luo Wei on the shoulder and said with gratitude.
Luo Wei showed a relieved smile on his face and nodded: "Yes, Ling Wei has been sensible since she was young, this time it is all thanks to her."
However, someone in the crowd said something different: "Humph, if she hadn't called off the engagement, our village wouldn't have suffered this! Zhao Hong is an alien, if we anger him, how can we expect anything good to happen?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Lowe's expression also turned a little ugly. He opened his mouth and was about to refute, but heard another voice speak first.
"What you said is not right!" A middle-aged woman stood up, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone, "How can you blame Ling Wei for breaking off the engagement when Zhao Hong fell in love with the daughter of a rich girl from Quanchun Town? Should Ling Wei swallow her anger and watch her fiancé kissing someone else?"
"That's right!" A young man next to him also echoed, "It is Ling Wei's right to cancel the engagement. Zhao Hong is narrow-minded and colluded with the monsters to seek revenge. This is the root of the problem! If anyone is to blame, it should be Zhao Hong. How can you blame Ling Wei?"
After hearing this, the villagers nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, the person who complained earlier didn't know what to say and could only shut up in disappointment.
Lowe looked at the middle-aged woman and the young man with gratitude and felt relieved.
He turned to look at Luo Lingwei standing beside him, his eyes full of heartache and guilt: "Lingwei, this time it's all thanks to you. Dad knows that you have been wronged, and it's Dad who failed to protect you."
Luo Lingwei shook her head, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Dad, don't say that. It was my own decision to cancel the engagement, and I don't regret it. I just didn't expect Zhao Hong to be so despicable and actually collude with monsters to retaliate against us. Fortunately, the mountain god arrived in time, otherwise..."
When she said this, her voice choked up and tears welled up in her eyes.
Luo Wei gently patted his daughter's shoulder, with a hint of comfort in his tone: "Okay, it's over. Didn't the mountain god say that as long as we follow his instructions, go to Yilan Village to pay homage to the village chief Wumu, and complete the ceremony, we can truly be protected by him. At that time, our village will no longer have to fear those monsters."
Luo Lingwei nodded, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes: "Dad, let's set off early tomorrow morning. The sooner we complete the ceremony, the sooner our village can settle down."
Lowe nodded, with a hint of determination in his tone: "Okay, we will set off early tomorrow morning."
…
The next morning, Luo Wei and Luo Lingwei, along with several villagers, set out for Yilan Village.
As Luo Wei, Luo Lingwei and their group arrived at the entrance of Yilan Village, they suddenly saw several huge and strangely shaped creatures slowly walking out of the village.
Some of them have horns on their heads, some are covered with scales, and some have wings on their backs. They look no different from the legendary monsters.
"Monster! It's a monster!" a villager shouted in horror, with a trembling in his voice.
Luo Wei and Luo Lingwei also became nervous instantly. Luo Wei subconsciously protected his daughter behind him, holding a wooden stick tightly in his hand, ready to deal with possible danger at any time.
However, just as they were about to turn around and flee, a voice came from the village: "Don't be afraid! That's not a monster, it's a goblin that came down from the mountain of the mountain god!"
Everyone looked back and saw an old man with a smile on his face and a relaxed tone. He walked towards them and said, "Don't be nervous. These goblins are under the command of the mountain god. They are here to help us. They don't eat people, nor do they hurt people. They get along well with us."
