Chapter 104
The man's temperament alone made people feel uncomfortable, not to mention his weird attire.
The pale mask and the black and red runes give off an ominous feeling.
In addition, he made no secret of his interest in the mythical beasts believed in by the Lan clan, so the villagers were quite repulsive to him, even more so than they were to ordinary outsiders.
But Lan Shahai still ignored the opposition and kept the man in the village as a distinguished guest.
The man expressed his gratitude for Lan Shahai's enthusiasm, and that evening at the banquet at the village chief's house, the man explained his purpose.
"Village chief, just call me Lun Shengxi. I am a supernatural scientist. There have always been rumors about the mystery of Jinye Mountain, so I came here to confirm the truth of the rumors to a certain extent. If they are true, I want to do further research."
Outsiders covet their inheritance. If other villagers were here, they would have joined forces to drive them out.
But Lan Shahai saw an "opportunity" in it, even though he didn't know who Lun Shengxi was.
It was later proved that Ran Shahai's decision was indeed "correct".
He took Lun Shengxi to visit the tribe's offerings and told Lun Shengxi some of the snow leopard beliefs and heritage.
So Lun Shengxi also "returned the favor".
"The village chief is a kind and capable person, but there is some subtle sadness between his brows. Is there anything I can do to help?"
During the banquet, Lan Shahai reluctantly expressed his "worry".
"I'm worried that my sons won't be able to inherit. I'm already old, and it's okay if I'm not recognized by the Divine Beast, but my son is still young, and there are more and more young people in this village..."
The reason why the village chief is trusted by the villagers is not because of his ability, but because of his father.
The younger generation has become more independent and, thanks to the Internet, has gradually established connections with the outside world.
Lan Shahai hopes that the inheritance of the divine beast can be chosen from his own son, or it will not appear at all.
otherwise...
Lan Shahai is old, but he still remembers the high hopes his father had for him.
Sand and sea, these are things that are definitely not found on Jinye Mountain. His father named him after these things that are not found on Jinye Mountain, hoping that he would have these things in the future.
Therefore, inheritance is his top priority.
"I may have a way to solve the village chief's troubles."
Lun Shengxi proposed this very proactively, as he was keenly aware of the greed in the village chief's heart.
This is normal. Lun Shengxi has seen too many people like this, and he doesn't mind giving them a push from behind.
Even just watching for fun can make him feel happy.
So the village chief learned how to offer sacrifices from Lun Shengxi.
"That guy gave me a piece of stone or something else. I just need to drip the blood of the Lanling Bird on it and it will be fine."
Lan Shahai told Lan Da that he could not leave Jinye Mountain, but in fact he meant that he could not leave the stone that he had hidden.
As long as they are away from a certain distance, the vitality of the Lanling Bird will be gradually drained, and eventually the five internal organs will fail and the bird will die.
Lan Yi's face turned pale, his fists were clenched so tightly that they were shaking, and he wished he could beat the bastard in front of him to death.
But he still retained his rationality and just looked at Xi Siling.
"Where is the stone?"
Lan Shahai was still reluctant to speak and hesitated.
"I asked my son to throw it away... Anyway, it's in Jinye Mountain, as long as the Lanling Bird doesn't leave, nothing will happen..."
He hasn't stopped thinking about this.
Xi Siling no longer wanted to get entangled with this person.
If he wanted to keep Lan Yi for the sake of clan inheritance, it would seem understandable, but he clearly wanted to satisfy his own desire for power and benefits.
Can't he tell whether Lun Shengxi is good or bad? Xi Siling absolutely doesn't believe it.
In Lan Shahai's heart, the Lan family is not as important as himself. Selfishness is far from enough to describe how hateful he is.
"77, I'll leave it to you?"
"good."
Liuhuaqi began to weave the [fog] that made Lanshahai fall into an illusion. Everyone has something they fear, and his so-called interrogation technique is to destroy all the enemy's consciousness of resistance.
As for whether the person is crazy or stupid, dead or alive, Liuhuacui doesn't care.
Just leave it to Liuhuaqi next. I believe we will soon be able to learn the whereabouts of the cursed stone from Lanshahai.
Xi Siling patted Lan Yi on the shoulder and said, "At least Sister Lingniao doesn't have to stay in Jinye Mountain anymore."
"I know." Lan Yi's voice was a little choked, but more of it was fear.
If he had found his sister but left with her, what would have been the consequences...
Lan Yi didn't even dare to think about it.
Whenever he thought about the possibility that his sister might die because of this, he couldn't stop the anger and resentment that kept rising in his heart.
He will make the person who killed his sister pay with his life!
Fortunately... Fortunately, all this has not happened yet.
Lan Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and suppressed the terrible thought in his heart.
——
This fog connects to reality, but it is not reality.
Liuhuaqi felt that it might be more appropriate to call it a fantasy in the brain.
What is Lan Shahai most afraid of?
Is it the end of inheritance? Or is it the transfer of power?
Liuhuaqi hid behind Lanshahai's consciousness, watching the [fog] constantly changing, dispersing and gathering.
Finally, what appeared in front of them was a mighty and tall snow leopard, almost seven meters long.
It is also the belief and the most respected divine beast of the Lan clan.
Although in Liuhuaqi's opinion, this should be a strange beast evolved from a snow leopard.
He was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that what Lan Shahai feared most was their beliefs.
And in this fear, he also saw hatred.
It seems that Lan Shahai's desire for inheritance is limited to power, hatred and disgust. Even a divine beast with a good temper would not pass on its inheritance to him or his descendants.
In fact, Liuhuaqi also has doubts about the so-called inheritance of the Lan family. Brother Lan gained more powerful power because he deserved it, not because the divine beast chose him.
Liu Huaqi now has a filter ten meters thick for his friends. He doesn't need to be liked by the mythical beast snow leopard, so his respect is only on the surface.
He controlled the snow leopard in the [Mist] to run quickly towards the Stormy Sea, and bit his arm hard.
Lan Shahai let out a scream.
"Master Divine Beast! I didn't mean to be disrespectful!"
He seemed to have returned to his childhood, to the day when his father was bitten to death by a divine beast.
"Where did you hide the stone?" Liu Huaqi controlled the Misty Snow Leopard to speak, and the beast's eyes were full of murderous intent.
Lan Shahai let out a mournful cry.
"Why do you care so much about that girl named Lan Lingniao? You even bit your devout believer to death for her, my father! Why!!!"
She is just an unknown girl, and her father wants to nip the ominous sign in the bud, for the sake of his people and even more for the sake of the divine beast!
Unfortunately, the real beast could not hear his questions.
"Where is the stone?" the 'divine beast' asked again.
Lan Shahai was completely disheartened and he couldn't accept it.
"Kill me! Just like you killed my father! I want the Lanling Bird to be buried with us! I will never tell you where that thing is!"
After saying this, he closed his eyes, stretched his neck, and looked as if he was ready to die bravely.
Liuhuaqi sneered and came behind Lanshahai like a ghost, speaking devilish words into his ear.
"You have three sons."
"It's okay, they'll go down with you."
If he hadn't had any attachment to his children, he wouldn't have remembered his father's death for so long.
Lan Shahai's eyes were bloodshot, and all kinds of negative emotions such as fear, pain and anger piled up in his heart, making him look like he was about to faint.
But in the end, he chose to compromise. He couldn't continue to be tough.
"...In the village shrine, behind the statue of the mythical beast..."
After saying this, he seemed to have lost all his strength and knelt down.
After getting the information he needed, Liuhuaqi was too lazy to torture Lanshahai anymore.
What will be his final fate will be decided by Brother Lan.
Li Ke and Liu Huaqi continued to guard the Lansha Sea, while Xi Siling accompanied Lan Yi to the village sacrificial hall to look for the hidden cursed stone.
It was really an inconspicuous stone, looking like the kind that a naughty child would hide as a treasure while playing house.
But the aura emanating from it is slightly different.
Xi Siling frowned.
"This is..."
In his previous life, he had seen something with a similar aura at the auction where Sister Spirit Bird was almost sold out.
The engraved heart of the living dead.
——
I can leave with the Lanling Bird and contact Teacher Xishan.
As for the tribesmen including Lan Shahai, Lan Yi chose to let them go.
"My sister and I will never come back, and they will not leave Jinye Mountain. There is no need to kill them all."
Lan Yi was indeed very angry, but he did not want to kill anyone unless serious consequences occurred.
However, letting it go does not mean forgiving and leaving it alone. The Enforcement Department will definitely intervene in matters related to Oue and the curse.
Lan Shahai, his son, and other people involved will inevitably be imprisoned.
Lan Lingniao didn't know how serious the matter was. Although she hated the people in the tribe, she didn't want to put her brother at risk.
"Eh? Go to the secret text?"
"Well, it's related to my sister. It's a very important matter. My sister, please listen to me."
Lan Yi had never been so serious before, but Lan Lingniao felt relieved that his younger brother had grown up. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
When leaving Jinye Mountain, Lanling Bird once again looked back at the place where she grew up.
Jinye Mountain is a nice place, but the people here are so terrible.
But at this moment, she saw a tall shadow from the top of a mountain not far away.
The sun was shining brightly and she couldn't quite see what it was until a white cloud blocked out the sun.
A tall snow leopard was standing there, watching her leave.
It seems like there is reluctance, and also like nostalgia.
Several people followed her gaze and saw the snow leopard, which was suspected to be the sacred beast believed in by the Lan clan.
Naturally, they all remembered the stories of the past that Liuhuaqi learned from Lanshahai.
No matter why the divine beast loved the Lanling Bird, it actually saved her life.
Although Lan Lingniao didn't know what was going on, he felt a sense of closeness to the bird.
So she stood up straight and bowed deeply.
Lan Yi naturally followed his sister to say goodbye.
Although the other people did not believe in mythical beasts, they also bowed their heads to show their respect.
When I looked up again, there was nothing there.
