Chapter 35 Purpose
"No." Xu Zhong said, "We are here to make a deal with you."
"What deal?"
Xu Zhongdao understood the purpose of his visit.
Village chief Tong Na was stunned: "You actually want to rebuild the village?"
"Why not? With the kind mountain god, our village is not extinct. I am here, Lin Dashan is here, Carpenter Zhao is still here, and there are still a few children in the village... In a few years, there will be more than ten families in the village, maybe more than twenty. In a few more years, it will double, and then in a few more years... One day, Qinghe Village will return to its former bustle."
Because of the presence of the mountain god, Xu Zhong firmly believes that this can be achieved.
If Village Chief Tong Na still had some concerns before, then after hearing what Xu Zhong said, he believed it about 70%.
Xu Zhong believed that a village that was on the verge of extinction could stand up again, which must mean that he had great trust in the "Lord Mountain God" in his heart.
Then for a village like theirs that is still alive, there will definitely be no problem.
Therefore, Village Chief Tongna not only agreed to his request, but also proposed the idea of visiting Yilan Village. It’s just that the safety issue on this road...
"Don't worry about that, we have brought the statue of the Mountain God!" Xu Zhong immediately told the village chief Tong Na excitedly that the reason why they took so long to come out was to wait for the statue of the Mountain God.
With the statue of the mountain god, the monsters and beasts no longer dared to approach them at will.
As for what Yang Xiangwei said, something below the heavenly grade, Xu Zhongti didn't even mention it.
"You are actually carrying the statue of the Mountain God!" Village chief Tong Na was surprised and quickly asked Xu Zhong to come out so that he could also pay his respects.
However, what he didn't expect was that the statue Xu Zhong invited was actually a "rocky"?
Village chief Tong Na was stunned for a moment.
"Mr. Mountain God is a mountain god. It's normal that his statue is different from others. This is Mr. Mountain God's real body, carved according to the statue that Mr. Mountain God gave." Xu Zhong assured him that Carpenter Zhao had good skills and the statue he carved would be exactly the same as the one in the Mountain God Temple in Yilan Village.
That statue was bestowed by the mountain god himself.
No matter what, Village Chief Tong Na still took the Duan family to pay their respects.
The Duan family members were also listening nearby. In a sense, the mountain god had avenged them, so they should pay homage to him.
Just like Xu Zhong said, offering sacrifices to the mountain god is very simple. Just set up a table, put the statue in place, and get an incense burner. If you don’t have an incense burner, a bowl will do, as long as you can stick incense in it.
The offerings were whatever was available at home, such as millet, wild vegetables, and a bowl of water.
If someone has eggs, it would be better to put an egg in it.
"Sacrifices offered to the mountain god can be eaten. The mountain god said that such offerings are beneficial. The more sincere your heart is, the greater the benefit will be."
…
The night gradually deepens.
Xu Zhong and Lin Dashan stayed at Duan's house, and the others were arranged by village chief Tong Na to live in other homes in the village.
Lin Dashan was a little tired after the whole day and slept in a daze. Suddenly he heard a scream, which scared him so much that he fell off the bed.
Xu Zhong also woke up.
Both of them looked a little panicked. They got up at the same time, opened the door a crack and looked outside.
"Help!"
"The monster is coming!"
"There's a monster!"
…
I could vaguely see a black shadow as tall as two houses. Someone was thrown into the air by it, and when it opened its big mouth, the person fell into its mouth.
The Duan family was also woken up, and everyone was extremely frightened.
Almost everyone’s reaction was to run away.
So are Xu Zhong and Lin Dashan.
"Don't forget the statue of the mountain god!"
Xu Zhong picked up the child and ran outside. When he reached the yard, he was seen by Duan's father.
When Father Duan saw what he had in his hand, he suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Wait a minute, didn't you say that your statue can drive away monsters? Can this monster be driven away?"
Xu Zhong looked at the mountain-like monster and swallowed his saliva: "I don't know either... I don't know what level it is. The mountain god said that it can only drive away those below the heavenly level."
If this is of heavenly quality or above, then there is nothing we can do.
Also, the statue can only drive away monsters, but cannot defeat them.
Obviously, not only the Duan family thought of the statue in Xu Zhong's hand, but even the village chief Tong Na could not have thought of it. His first reaction when he got up and saw the monster was to notify the villagers to go to the Duan family, where there was the statue of the mountain god.
He called his son and rushed to Duan's house, beating the gong.
When the villagers heard the sound of the gong, many of them panicked and ran towards the sound. There are also some people with more flexible brains who run in the opposite direction.
Their idea was simple: if the village chief led everyone over there, the monsters would see that there were more people there and would definitely run over there as well. If they ran in the opposite direction, they would have a chance of survival.
Xu Zhong ran towards the monster with the statue in his arms. He met many people on the way. The monster seemed to have noticed that the villagers were heading this way, and chased after them without saying a word.
Seeing that the monster was getting closer and closer, but the statue didn't work, Xu Zhong became anxious.
Could it be that this monster is too big to be driven away?
50 meters.
40 meters.
30 meters.
…
The distance is getting closer.
Xu Zhong wanted to turn around and run away.
However, at this moment, the monster appeared at the end of the path leading to the village, with a ferocious head and a sturdy body, like an upright, armored giant bear.
Xu Zhong had no idea what kind of monster it was, he just felt that it could blow his head off with one slap.
The giant bear demon slowed down its pace and let out a long angry roar only ten meters away from him: "Roar..."
It lingered there, wanting to get closer but not daring to.
it works? !
Xu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and tried to take a few steps forward.
As soon as he stepped forward, the giant bear monster retreated, obviously afraid of what he had in his hand.
Xu Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up.
It turns out this thing can only work up to this point. No wonder there was no response just now. It was too far away.
"Stop running around, run to me!" Xu Zhong quickly shouted at the people who were running around, "You are running too far, I can't take care of you."
"Yes, don't run around, we have a statue of the mountain god here..." Those fellow villagers who were arranged to stay elsewhere rushed over and shouted to everyone breathlessly.
One of them even held the child of the family he was sleeping with, and the child's entire family followed behind him.
After a while, a lot of people gathered behind Xu Zhong.
"roar……"
The giant bear demon roared again, pounding the wall and stomping the ground angrily, but did not dare to get closer.
Those who gathered behind Xu Zhong saw this and breathed a sigh of relief. After they learned about the statue from Xu Zhong and others, they were even more grateful.
fine!
Fortunately, people still miss their village, otherwise...
Although it was impossible for this monster to slaughter their entire village, and they would not be as miserable as Qinghe Village, but just looking at its head, one could tell that people would definitely die.
I just don’t know how many people died.
Who wants to die when you can live?
No one wants to be the unlucky one!
