Occasionally someone would pass by and take a look into the cave.
The residents have lived in the mountains for many years and are still a bit superstitious. They don’t know what is being worshipped here, so they dare not come here again. Everyone is afraid that it might be an evil spirit.
Jin An had already paid a heavy price. At that time, he could no longer maintain his adult form and turned into the appearance of a ten-year-old child.
No one remembers him, no one believes in him, and gradually he becomes weaker and weaker, and one day he will completely disappear from the world.
"I don't blame them for forgetting me, preventing me from gaining the power of faith."
Jin An paused here, as if he remembered something from the past, and his face turned red with anger.
"But they absolutely shouldn't have lost their humanity! I'm going to die soon anyway, so why not do something for those vengeful spirits before I die?"
"Then you really disappear, is it worth it?" Yu Qing asked.
Is it really worth doing this?
Originally, after Jin'an disappeared, he might be able to come back one day in the future.
But since he helped those female ghosts and was involved in cause and effect, he will never have such an opportunity again.
Jin An raised the corner of his mouth and said with pride: "Why is it not worth it?"
"Not only did they attack their own relatives, they also trafficked people from outside into the village. They deserved this fate!"
Suddenly, a bright light flashed across the sky, followed by rumbling thunder.
The storm is coming.
Yu Qingqian stared at him coldly for a while. The bright light from the lightning flashed into the cave, and it cast a somewhat desolate and indifferent feeling on his back, but also seemed to reveal a hint of warmth.
It was impossible to see through her expression or understand her thoughts between the flickering light and the dimming light.
She took out a Queen of Hearts and said slowly, "Do you want to come with me?"
She hadn't had this idea originally, but Jin An's determination seemed to have infected her a little.
Jin An knew that the Xuanmen people never raised ghosts or worshipped gods, so he was not sure what the girl meant.
Yu Qing didn't care either. He just looked at him silently, waiting for the mountain god Jin'an's choice.
"But I'm dying," he said casually.
There is no way around this fact.
"I've asked you this, how could I not be able to protect you?" The girl was full of confidence, her eyebrows slightly raised.
She seemed to find his contempt for herself ridiculous.
Jin'an: "..."
So this is the benefit of clinging to someone powerful?
Perhaps it was her powerful abilities that made Jin An feel that it was worthwhile to follow her.
Jin An turned into white smoke and went into the Queen of Hearts. After he came to his senses, he felt puzzled.
But I don't regret it.
There were three cards in the pink crossbody bag, one with a girl in a clear green dress, one with a red seven-tailed fox, and now there was another card with a stone statue.
Yu Qing was not surprised by his choice and turned to leave the cave.
From then on, there was only Ping'an Village left on this mountain, and there would no longer be a mountain god.
…
The heavy rain washed away the filth in Ping'an Village.
Here, Captain Yan found the location of Ping'an Village based on the marks left by Yu Qing.
He met Yao Pan'er at the entrance of the village and saw her standing there in the rain wearing a red wedding dress.
Fortunately, the weather was gloomy before they came, so they all changed into raincoats.
He took off his raincoat and prepared to wrap it around the girl.
Yao Pan'er stumbled back a few steps and looked at him warily, "Who are you?"
Captain Yan realized something was wrong and pulled out his ID, which was placed close to his chest. He said, "We are police officers from the neighboring city. We received a call and came here to investigate."
"Police..." Yao Pan'er looked dazed for a moment, then grabbed his hand and told him that she was forced to marry.
Of course, she concealed the existence of the wedding dress ghost.
"Don't worry, we will investigate this matter. No one can force you to do something you don't want to do. Please trust us."
Captain Yan could see that she was still very young, so he spoke in a much softer voice.
The people have an inexplicable trust in the police officers who protect the country, and Yao Paner actually felt at ease when she read the testimony.
One of the police officers took her to a rooftop near the village entrance to shelter from the rain.
Yao Pan'er could see the scene in the yard and knew why the villagers were screaming so miserably.
The police officer instinctively stood in front of her, blocking the scene in the yard. "Don't be afraid, we will be out soon."
Yao Pan'er nodded absentmindedly.
Led by Captain Yan, other police officers walked throughout Ping'an Village.
The fate of all the dead was the same. One head seemed to have been chopped off by a sharp blade, the wound was smooth and neat, and the body was torn into pieces and piled on one side.
His expression was ferocious, as if he had seen something terrifying.
Those who were still alive were also acting crazy, and kept saying "I killed someone".
From their intermittent and unclear words, Captain Yan roughly pieced together the whole incident.
It all started twenty years ago when the village chief's family bought a daughter-in-law from another place, who was said to be a college student.
The other people in the village were jealous, and some even got together and finally came up with an evil plan.
Among them is Yao Zhengbang.
They kidnapped college students from the city and sold them to villagers, and also had the same transactions with other villages with inconvenient transportation.
It was as if Yao Zhengbang and several other people had made a fortune. They suddenly had money to buy building materials and built their own small Western-style houses.
The people in Ping'an Village realized that something was wrong and threatened them to tell the reason. As a result, the entire Ping'an Village joined in the trafficking plan. For the sake of money, no one reported it.
The people in Ping'an Village have made a lot of money.
Until ten years ago, with the development of the Internet era, more and more people paid attention to these things, and they became honest for a while, only occasionally committing a crime.
All the girls in the village who were able to get into high school and leave the mountains were forced to marry people from the same village. Those who were disobedient were locked up in a pigsty and tied up.
There is only one reason, they are afraid that if they read more and have more knowledge, they will betray Ping'an Village.
Yao Pan'er was an exception because Yao Zhengbang was preparing to stop. He thought that all the evidence had been destroyed, and since Yao Pan'er was unaware of the situation, he let her go.
After all, the daughter of a college student is much more valuable to him, and this will be his last deal.
But Yao Pan'er never gave up on finding out the truth behind her friend's disappearance, and she actually found some clues. If she continued investigating, she would be completely exposed, which led to her being kidnapped back.
It wasn't because of her grades at all. In the eyes of those who knew the situation, it was simply because she was too persistent and too self-deprecating.
Some of the girls who died were tortured to death by all the men in the village, some committed suicide, and some were thrown to pigs as food.
Their bodies were treated like garbage and thrown into the back mountain.
Ping'an Village, called a "mass grave" by the villagers.
Captain Yan called the police station. The situation there was serious, and the bodies of those poor girls who died were still dumped on the mountain.
It takes a long time to process.
