Shadows shrouded the corners of the vast underground palace, and the walls of the underground palace were lined with lifelike statues of Buddha. The faces that were supposed to be kind became eerie and terrifying against the alternating light of the beating candlelight.

Except for the road in the middle, the ground of the underground palace is lined with huge dark pools on both sides. There is a hint of scarlet color in the darkness, which makes people unable to see what is under the water, which can only make them more suspicious, more suspicious, and more afraid.

Moreover, does the water in this pool have to be water?Maybe, maybe not.

"The mayor."

A voice broke the silence and coldness of the underground palace. The sound dissipated before it could reach far, and seemed to be swallowed up by monsters hidden in the darkness, telling people not to disturb the solemnity of the underground palace.

Liu Youcai followed respectfully behind the mayor's thin and hunched figure. He was obviously taller than the mayor, but he shrank into a shrinking ball in order to show his obedience.

It was also his uncontrollable fear of this strange underground palace. When he was still young, the mayor once brought a group of young people down, but in the end only the mayor came back.What’s even more terrifying is that no one else in the town remembers the person taken away by the mayor, whether it was their husband, son, or father.

He was the only one who remembered him because he went hunting in the mountains.

This was one of the reasons why he didn't dare to resist the mayor at all. However, he boldly glanced at the mayor secretly, and the mayor was there——

The mayor's waist was hunched over and his face was wrinkled. He held a cane in his hand. He walked slowly forward to move his old and weak legs. He opened a corner of his drooped eyelids, and his hazy eyes fell sharply on Liu Youcai, like a knife cutting him. Sharp and stinging.

Liu Youcai subconsciously stirred up his spirit, and all the distracting thoughts in his heart were cleared away. He suppressed his fear and his attitude became more and more respectful.

"Mayor, why did you call me here?"

The mayor walked forward slowly on crutches, his voice was old and decayed——

"What didn't those people do?"

Liu Youcai knew who the mayor was talking about.

Who else could it be?It can only be those immortal elders with magical powers. The mayor probably doesn't want these people to disturb the final sacrifice.Alas, even if you have magical means, as long as you don’t have the mind to match the magical methods——

He glanced at the mayor's back in fear again, feeling more and more fearful in his heart.

They will all be killed by the mayor, an old man who seems weak and skinny but is the most terrifying, and then becomes fertilizer for the gods who protect them.

Liu Youcai thought so much in just a short while, but he did not dare to neglect the mayor and replied respectfully: "They came to see Zhao Di, but after they left, I checked that Zhao Di was still tied up in the same place."

The mayor nodded slowly and said in an old voice sternly: "Protect the bride, she is the last and most important sacrifice."

The mayor's heart is filled with disdain for these so-called immortal masters and crazy jealousy. They are a group of wastes with powerful weapons but with the minds of children. If he had such powerful power——

Why is it not him who has the power? He is the one who deserves such powerful power, the powerful and beautiful power.

"Yes, Mayor, I will try my best to protect the sacrifice."

The mayor's thoughts were interrupted. He just raised his skinny old hand and shook it.

Liu Youcai slowly retreated.

Silence returned to the dim underground palace, so quiet that one could seem to hear the mayor's breathing, which was much weaker than ordinary people, as well as the sound of flames burning and dancing on candles accompanied by subtle explosions.

The mayor walked forward slowly on crutches.

The flames danced in the mayor's dim pupils, and the light and shadow were distorted and dim.

He walked slowly towards the deepest part of the underground palace, with a completely different pace than what he saw in his eyes.

The dark pool water on both sides of the floor tiles is like a mirror, clearly reflecting the mayor's figure.It's just that the shadow in the water is twisted and deformed, not like a human being, but like a cold monster lurking in the dark water, waiting for opportunities to peek greedily at the hot flesh.

Around the monster, something seemed to be surging under the dark water, and a strong malice surrounded the twisted monster.

After an unknown amount of time, the mayor finally reached the depths of the underground palace.

This is the most important place in the entire Fengshan Mountain, and it is also the reason for its existence.

On the huge, complete and tightly-fitted stone door, there are carved countless ferocious evil spirits with green faces and fangs, threatening all creatures who try to get close to this place.

But the seemingly weak mayor has no fear. Fanaticism, desire, yearning, jealousy, resentment, and many unspeakable complex emotions distort the mayor's already old face, making it even more terrifying.

The intense emotions made the mayor's hands tremble uncontrollably. He slowly stretched out his skinny hands covered with age spots. The fast heartbeat even made the mayor's declining body breathless.

God!A true, powerful being who protects people.

The mayor couldn't help but start to recall that when the mountain ghost first appeared, he was still a child with no strength.

The continuous rain all day long shakes the closed mountains, and the trees cannot hold the ground firmly.

The experienced old man was worried and finally arranged for everyone to go to the mountain.

These young mayors didn't understand. He could only feel the worries and panic of the adults. He was uncontrollably afraid and just nestled helplessly beside his mother, quietly climbing with the adults even though he was tired.

However, the mudslide occurred much earlier than expected.

He saw frightened relatives and friends running away, he saw the surging mountains falling down, which were more terrifying than the ghosts in the stories told by the old people, and many people disappeared into the roaring muddy water.

For the first time, he understood what it means to be insignificant, why the old man told young people to be in awe of the mountains, and how he cried helplessly when he saw young people trying to stop them from cutting down trees wantonly, and when they couldn't stop them.

Revenge, is it revenge?
Words that adults had said suddenly came to his mind. He didn't understand the meaning but subconsciously thought of them.

Is it the mountain ghost's revenge for their disrespect of the gods?

Fear controlled his body, and he could not move. He could only watch the muddy water that could not be changed by human power roar and roar towards him.

"Master Shangui, we were wrong! Please forgive us and spare us this time. The children will be sensible. Please save us."

"Master Shangui has mercy!"

"Save us, Lord Mountain Ghost!"

The cries of the women were so faint amid the roar of the mountain torrents and muddy water, but to some beings they were so vast and deep.

Then, an unforgettable scene appeared in front of the mayor.

The mud, water, rocks and trees that were more terrifying than the mythical monsters were frozen in place. People who were originally buried flew out one by one, shocked. The surviving people looked at their rescued relatives and were full of joy.

Huge rocks, thick mud and water, and huge trees are like going back in time in the story, quickly returning to Fengshan Mountain.

A woman whose face could not be seen clearly rode in a strange car, followed by a huge red leopard, and then disappeared on Fengshan Mountain.

He couldn't hear the people's huge thanks, he just felt dizzy and unable to extricate himself.

What a powerful god!
Thank you very much Yu Kong, it was Ah He who failed to live up to your expectations.
