Inquiry about immortality

Chapter 631 The Holy Maiden
Although it is self-taught without a teacher, it is not easy to master this magical power and use it proficiently.

The sword light that Qin Sang created was not only full of flaws, but also lasted for a very short period of time, making it unusable for fighting. As he hurried along, he felt more and more profound about the way of swordsmanship.

The fairy road is long, and every avenue is not easy!
Soon, when he came to the upper reaches of the river where he was drifting, Qin Sang flew at a low altitude, his consciousness spread out, and he went deep into the ground to see if there was any unknown existence in the dark river.

Got nothing.

After entering the Qingyi River, Qin Sang disappeared, went down the river, and landed on the mountain behind Qianhu Village, frowning slightly, there was no one in the room.

He left Qianhu Village, and in less than 20 days from healing to breakthrough, a small layer of dust had accumulated on the table in Mute's room, and she was nowhere to be seen.

Dumb aunt is very hardworking, if she still lives here, she must wipe it every day.

"Healed the birthmark and dumb disease, has the dumb girl been recognized by the tribe?"

Qin Sang thought in her heart, and rushed to the Qianzhai, but still failed to find Mute Girl.

Since the death of her grandmother, the dumb aunt lived alone and was not accepted by the tribe. She dared not travel far alone, and she never left the mountain of Qianhu Village since she was a child.

Even during the Witch God Festival, when the surrounding villages held parties, singing and dancing, the dumb girl could only stand on the top of the mountain alone and look over there.

"The Witch God's Festival is coming soon, does the dumb aunt have a friend and go to the party together?"

Qin Sang knew that Dumb Girl was looking forward to the Witch God's Festival, and tried to think of the bright side, but felt something was wrong.

After sweeping his consciousness, he finally found a familiar person, the grandfather of the dumb aunt's witch doctor.

The old man is the only witch doctor in Qianhu Village, with a respected status, and the high-footed building he lives in is also one of the best in the village, facing the Qingyi River, with a wide view.

At this time, the old man was pounding medicine in the room, not as friendly as before, his face was ashen, he seemed to have a grudge against the medicine pound, and he was very hard.

"Who?"

From the corner of his eye, the old man caught a glimpse of the curtain fluttering. There seemed to be a figure, and he immediately became alert.

Then, as soon as the light in the room dimmed, a young man was seen standing by the window at some point, like a ghost.He's not from the village, but his face seems familiar.

The old man turned his gaze and looked at the man's left shoulder, where the arm was still growing.

"who are you?"

The old man touched the cane beside him and became very vigilant.

"The old man doesn't remember me?"

Although it was useless to take several medicines from the old man, Qin Sang was very polite to him, and said in a harmonious voice: "A few days ago, I was seriously injured and my arm was broken, and I was floating on the river. Fortunately, my husband and the dumb girl rescued me. Recovery, I came here to thank you, but I didn’t see Mummy, where did she go?”

"It's you!"

When the old man remembered Qin Sang, his eyes suddenly turned red, with a resentful expression on his face, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Dumb girl saved your life, but you made dumb girl so miserable, you still have the nerve to mention her!"

"what?"

Qin Sang frowned, and said in a concentrated voice: "Mute aunt has saved my life, how could I harm her? Before leaving, I thanked aunt for her kindness, and gave medicine to cure her dumb disease and birthmark, so that she can return to normal What the hell happened to life...?"

Qin Sang has realized that something must have happened during this time.

He knew that after Mute Aunt recovered from her illness, her life would definitely change drastically, and the same clan would all explore the reason for her recovery.

Healing a disease can still be justified.

Both intractable diseases were cured miraculously, which would definitely cause an uproar.

Dumb Aunt has no strength herself, and may cause trouble to her upper body instead.

Before leaving, Qin Sang warned the dumb girl to pretend that she was still dumb, and told her fellow clan that it was the witch doctor grandfather who used a rare medicine to erase her birthmark.

Qianhuzhai regards the dumb girl as a disaster. Apart from various coincidences, the main reason is to judge people by their appearance, and think that the birthmark on her face is a curse from the witch god.

With the removal of the birthmark, the dumb aunt can try to integrate into the same race and lead a normal life.

Qin Sang is going to come back to teach the dumb aunt the fairy art or martial arts. When the time comes, the dumb girl will have the power to protect herself, and she will not be afraid if she speaks again.

Unexpectedly, an accident happened in such a short period of time.

He also left a green purse money just in case, but it didn't work.

"Who killed Aunt Dumb?"

Qin Sang's face turned cold, and a deep killing intent appeared in his eyes.

The old man felt that Qin Sang's aura suddenly changed, as if a killer came to the world.

But the pity for Yagu in his heart made the old man fearless, pointing at Qin Sang and saying bitterly: "Because you cured Yagu's birthmark, she was selected as a saint by Yihu village! Yihu village only selects beautiful girls , if it wasn't for you, and the birthmark on Dumb Aunt's face is still there, how could she be chosen?"

"Saint?"

Hearing that his life was not in danger, Qin Sang felt relieved.

He has seen Yizhen Village on the map of Wuchongmen. Yizhen Village is the overlord of Qianhu Village and the surrounding areas. The priests in the village are immortal cultivators, and there is a foundation builder who is stronger than Tianyue Village a bit.

Qin Sang didn't know much about the witches in Xijiang, and didn't know what the meaning of "Holy Maiden" stood for.It sounds like it was a good thing for Dumb Girl to be selected as a 'Saint' by Yizhu Village.

But it's certainly not that simple!
Some customs of the witch clan are very evil, such as refining corpses, controlling insects, and offering sacrifices to gods.

"Wing Yizhai chooses saintesses, what do you want them to do?"

Qin Sang asked solemnly.

The old man shook his head feebly, with tears in his eyes, "All I know is that the girl who was chosen as the saintess of Yizhu Village has never appeared again! Dumb girl, life is too hard..."

The old man slumped on the ground, and Qin Sang didn't know what was going on until he heard what had happened.

It turns out that there is a rule in Yizhen Village, every year before the Witch God Festival, a pure adult girl must be selected from each village under control to be the saint of Yizhen Village.

Yifei Village calls the "Holy Maiden" a glory, and will be blessed by the witch god, but all the villages are not stupid. After the witch god festival, there is no news of those saints. They have never appeared, and there must be unknown secrets.

But firstly, the priests in Yizhen Village are messengers of the witch god, they are all mortals and dare not resist.

Secondly, Yifei Village doesn't ask for money from the same village every year, each village only pays tribute to the 'Holy Maiden' once a year, and within the range of tolerance, this cruel rule is acquiesced.

This year happened to be Qianhuzhai's turn to pay tribute to the 'Holy Maiden', and the dumb girl is about to come of age.

The selection of saintesses in Yifei Village also has requirements on appearance. If Qin Sang hadn't healed the birthmark on her face, Mute Girl could have escaped this disaster indeed.

"In Qianhu Village, how was the 'Holy Maiden' chosen?"

Qin Sang asked with a cold tone.

The old man laughed miserably, "Everyone is eager to send away the 'scourge' of the dumb girl. Some people have long wanted to kill the dumb girl, so why choose? Now that the dumb girl has recovered, I don't know how many people are overjoyed."

"Damn it!"

Qin Sang snorted coldly, turned around and looked at Qianhu Village outside the window.

There was a cold light in his eyes, but he didn't make a move, which would be more than his own.

The dumb girl lost her life at a young age, and she was able to survive because she had indeed received help from her fellow clan.

Let her choose!
