Chapter 517 Guilty
"Grandma is old and can't stay with you until old age. Ah Man..." The old lady pulled her with pity.
“Love yourself first before you love others. Grandma wants you to remember this at all times.”
Ah Man nodded with sobs.
I don't know why, but I always feel that my grandma is acting weird today.
as if……
Like a parting reminder.
"Go into the mountains." The old lady paused and looked secretly at Lu Chaochao with a bit of pleading in her eyes.
How could she not understand that Chao Chao could open the door of time and space.
Ah Man found a treasure.
"I will go into the mountains with Sister A'man." Lu Chaochao nodded softly. The old lady was very good at braiding her hair and she made her look very beautiful.
"I'll go with you." Xie Yuzhou jumped up with an excited look on his face.
Ah Man was frightened and quickly refused: "You are still children, how can I ask you to go with me?"
"Ghosts are pushing the cart for her. Do you think she looks like an ordinary child?" Xie Yuzhou happily packed a lot of food. The old lady's cooking skills were really good.
It was almost noon and the villagers began to gather at the foot of the mountain one after another.
When Ah Man brought the two people to the foot of the mountain, the villagers looked at her with eager eyes.
"This is a mountain in the demon world. What does it have to do with you if we go into the mountain?" Xie Yuzhou rolled his eyes in disdain.
"Don't pay attention to them. They are seeking their own death. If they anger the mountain god, they will suffer the consequences. Anyway, they have been expelled from the village, so they can't bring us any harm." Chen Laizi smiled proudly at Ah Man.
Once Ah Man and Old Lady Lin are driven out of the village, the house will be yours.
"The village chief is here, village chief, it's time for us to go into the mountains." Everyone shouted loudly. In the village, only men could perform sacrifices, while women would hold hoes and offerings and help with chores.
Ah Man's mother was one of the people who helped back then.
The villagers were in front, and Ah Man followed with two others from a distance behind.
The mountains in the demon world are extremely high, and the only way to avoid encountering evil spirits is to enter the mountains at noon.
There are often villagers hunting and collecting herbs in the outer mountains, so it is easy to walk.
But the inner mountains are somewhat eerie and scary.
Hundreds of years old towering trees reach into the clouds, blocking out the sun. The weeds on the ground were taller than waist level, so everyone cleared the way as they walked.
"A'man, you are not allowed to walk behind us. Otherwise the mountain god will think we brought you here!" Chen Laizi shouted loudly. It would be better if this wild girl died in the mountains.
The village chief glanced at him and said, "Ah Man, you should be more sensible."
Ah Man was also very strong-willed, so he immediately left the road and made his own way.
She was strong but young, so she could only follow the villagers from a distance.
"Which mountain god is enshrined in this mountain?" Lu Chaochao asked curiously.
Ah Man held two scimitars in his hands and tried his best to cut through the thorny bushes.
"I heard from the elders in the village that the demon world and the god world are originally in opposition. Logically speaking, the demon world is godless."
"But a thousand years ago, the demon king disappeared while fighting for the throne. Then a god came to the mountain and lived in seclusion here."
"It is said that he likes flowers very much. Once a villager mistakenly entered the mountains and was saved by the god. He also prayed to the god to protect the village..."
"From now on, a rule will be established to go into the mountains for sacrifice every sixteen years. If it weren't for the mountain god, I'm afraid the village wouldn't be so peaceful." There are mortals living in the demon world, but their survival is extremely difficult.
There were even cases where a village was massacred by demons.
"No wonder they all hold a bouquet of flowers in their arms." Xie Yuzhou's face flushed and he raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face.
"It's not clear which god he is. He lives in the mountains and everyone just calls him the mountain god."
Ah Man looked slightly disappointed.
Lu Chaochao looked into the mountains and forests. There was a hint of divine power in the air, but it was not strong.
It must have been blocked by a ban.
Which god has lived in the mountains for a thousand years?
The villagers' palms were bleeding from cutting thorns. They sat in front of the rocks and ate dry biscuits, taking a sip of water from time to time and swallowing it with difficulty.
Ah Man took out a few pieces of dried noodles from the package and soaked them in hot water. After a while...
The air was filled with the strong and overbearing aroma of food.
The villagers looked at each other and swallowed hard.
Seeing the three men holding their bowls and gulping down the noodle soup, their mouths watering, they could no longer chew the dry biscuits in their hands.
There was anger in Chen Laizi's eyes.
It was all his ungrateful aunt's fault.
He had a delicious recipe, but instead of giving it to his family, he gave it to Ah Man, a lonely and dead girl.
Half an hour later, everyone rested and set off again.
Surprisingly, the three children were in excellent condition, not looking tired at all, and seemed to be even more comfortable than the others.
Lu Chaochao, you can’t imagine the power of the spiritual spring.
It was not until the afternoon that everyone passed through a thick thorn forest and the view in front of them suddenly opened up and a valley appeared.
"Wow……"
The valley is full of colorful flowers, and butterflies are flying among the flowers.
It’s like entering a fairyland.
"The mountain god really likes flowers..." The villagers muttered in a low voice and couldn't help but tidy up the wild flowers in their hands.
"Not only that, the gods have been raising flowers in the valley, passed down from generation to generation in the village. They have been raising them for a thousand years and they haven't bloomed yet..."
Everyone straightened their clothes and then knelt down in front of the valley to kowtow.
After the worship, the village chief carefully led the entire village into the valley.
There is fog in the valley, and everything you see through the fog seems to be astonishing.
I saw colorful light flowing on the hillside.
The vast expanses of brilliance almost blinded my eyes.
"Oh, these are the flowers planted by the mountain god. They are finally blooming..." The village chief pointed at the flower forest in surprise.
"It is recorded in the village chronicles that the mountain god has been planting flowers in the valley since he appeared thousands of years ago. But flowers have never bloomed in this valley..."
Even sixteen years ago, when they came here, there were no flowers blooming.
"After the flowers bloom, the mountain god won't leave, right?" a villager whispered.
The villagers were silent.
"Let's pray to the mountain god and ask him to protect us for a few more years. The surrounding villages have no mountain god's protection and have been attacked by monsters several times. Our village has grown so big with great difficulty." The village chief's words made all the villagers nod their heads.
Lu Chaochao, however, was squatting inside, looking at the flowers all over the ground with a serious expression.
"Before... before Yue Lao disappeared, he muttered that there was a god called..." Xie Yuzhou pondered.
“Call…something called Immortal Venerable Yan Qing, who has been growing the Glazed Pure Flowers for a thousand years, can’t be…” Xie Yuzhou pointed to the valley.
Lu Chaochao touched his chin and hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about we go back?"
"Suddenly I feel that whether he is my father or not is not that important...right?" She looked at Ah Man.
"It's useless to bring back such a scumbag father. Why don't I find you a new father? What kind of father do you like? From the gods' world? The demons' world? The devil's world? Or the underworld?" Lu Chaochao looked serious.
"How about we have a competition, and the winner can become your father?"
Ah Man? ? ?
Is my scumbag dad the one who picks and chooses fish at the vegetable market? Can I change it?
No, why do you look so guilty?
