Chapter 182 Humanoid Weapons × Mountain Demon 20
Half a month later.
Compared to the previous period, there are still people dying in the village, but not as many as before, and ghosts don't come as frequently.
The villagers finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their normal lives.
The annual sacrificial ceremony is about to begin, and they are busy preparing offerings to the mountain god.
The village chief felt inexplicably uneasy, and his wrinkled face showed a hint of decadence.
Maybe he was a little nervous because he was greedy this time. It was no big deal.
Looking at the moving team, the village chief comforted himself in his heart.
A large crowd of people began to walk up the mountain. They lived at the foot of the mountain, and the place of worship was on the mountainside.
As for going further up, no one dared.
The villagers' sacrificial ceremony is simple, but it is considered grand for this small place.
The flames that shot up into the sky were scorching hot, and gradually emitted heat in all directions, as if they were going to burn people to death.
The village chief was sweating profusely and knelt on the ground with a group of villagers, muttering to himself.
The willow spirit who lived high up looked at the fire and the tiny black shadow below, and shook its branches with some dissatisfaction.
The little fox lying on the tree trunk also opened its curious eyes and watched the actions of the group of villagers below.
"Yunsheng, stop looking." The willow demon stopped him with some dissatisfaction in his tone.
He asked why the area was so bare, and it turned out that it was burned every year.
Fortunately, he passed away quickly, otherwise, it would have been used as firewood for cooking.
The little fox nodded in confusion, as if agreeing with what Buyi said.
He couldn't understand what was being said, but he could discern the tone of voice.
The Willow Demon only then realized that the tone he had used when speaking to the little fox was not very nice. "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the group of people down there."
"What's the point of offering sacrifices now? They must have done something that displeased Master Jin Lei, which is why they are being punished like this."
Thousands of years ago, there were no man-eating monsters in Wushan, only mountain spirits.
Then there is him, the tree spirit who was driven by spiritual energy.
Thinking of this, a trace of sadness flashed through the tree demon's heart. He hadn't seen Lord Jin Lei for a long time, and he didn't know how he was doing.
Back then, I didn’t know what happened.
The sacrifice was still going on, and the village chief asked three people who came to seek blessings to stand in front.
There are only three immortality pills, which are never enough. However, only a sincere request can make the mountain god grant immortality.
A child's heart is still preoccupied with trivial matters, and his love for his mother must be the most sincere emotion.
As for that villager, the village chief actually didn't have much expectations for him.
His wife had died a few days ago, leaving behind only a few children.
But within just a few days, he had already hooked up with a woman in the village whose husband had died.
He is usually quite honest, very kind to his relatives and responsible for his family, but reality can be so cruel sometimes, and men are heartless.
After his wife's death, all the feelings he once had seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Although the village chief was old, he still looked down on such people. When he looked at the man in front of him, there was a hint of hidden contempt in his eyes.
It was too fast. He changed his mind too quickly.
The village chief's wife also died at the hands of a monster. He was indeed sad at first, but then he began to adapt.
He never thought of remarrying, actually it was for the sake of his reputation, but as time went by, he began to recall the love between him and his wife.
Before long, he no longer had any intention of getting married again.
When he was dying, he had no wife or children, and all he wanted was to live forever.
The sacrifice lasted for a whole day, and it was only at dusk that everyone went back home.
As the sky gradually darkened, those who sought blessings sat quietly at home, waiting for the mountain god's blessing.
The village chief also sat quietly beside the bed, his eyes dimmed slightly, and his eyes full of fine lines were full of smiles.
——
Liuyin has been pregnant for more than a month, and her belly is indeed a little bigger than it was at the beginning.
However, Tu Lu seemed to be able to vaguely feel the breath of life, and the faint sound of breathing rang in his ears.
The man looked up with surprise, "I think I can feel them."
Tu Lu's face was full of smiles. In recent days, he has been smiling more and more.
Just being with Liu Yin makes him happy.
What's more, they have children at this time.
"Have you decided what to name them?"
Slaughter shook his head, "Not yet."
He put his ear close to Liuyin's abdomen and listened carefully to the child's weak breathing.
One, two, three, four...
The man hesitated for a moment and looked up at Liu Yin. "I think I heard four?"
When Tu Lu said this, he was actually a little uncertain.
He and Liuyin are both mountain spirits. How can they have four children at once?
Or, did he hear wrong?
"Don't you like it?" Liuyin asked him with a smile.
Although the smile on Liuyin's face was so gentle, Tu Lu had a bad feeling.
"Of course not." The man immediately retorted.
"It's just a little hard to imagine what they will look like."
"What they will look like has been decided, but their names haven't been decided yet."
"That's right." The man nodded in response. It seemed that he needed to think of a few more names.
Liuyin knew that Tu Lu's true form was a wolf, and its gestation period was similar to that of the snake clan, both being two months.
In another month, they will be born.
Liuyin glanced at the man next to her who was thinking of a name and felt that it was a little unreliable.
He has been thinking about just one name for so long, wouldn't it take even longer to come up with a few more names?
But she herself has no talent for naming.
Liuyin gently stroked her abdomen and sighed secretly.
"By the way, I want to eat the fruit you picked for me before."
Slaughter raised his head slightly, "Okay."
"Aren't you going to ask me which one I want?"
The man responded too quickly. Liuyin felt a little angry for some reason. It was too perfunctory.
Why didn't you ask her what kind of fruit she likes?
"I should know which fruits you like."
Tu Lu hugged Liu Yin and whispered in her ear.
As soon as Liuyin's voice came out, he knew that she might be a little unhappy.
But even though he didn't know the reason, Tu Lu thought that he should admit his mistake to her and make her happy.
After all, the tree demon mentioned that women may be in a bad mood and a little irritable during pregnancy.
Tu Lu thought that he shouldn't make Liu Yin feel upset.
