apprentice earth god

Du Jiaoyang didn't have time to react, he felt his eyes go dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already entered another place.

"This is where?"

Du Jiaoyang looked at the surrounding scenery with a puzzled expression.

He is now in the green mountains and green forests, not indoors.Everything in front of me is very real, and you can even feel the fresh air and the faint fragrance of flowers.

Du Jiaoyang looked at his mobile phone, there was no signal at all, he couldn't even call 110, and the time was still still.

He wanted to contact Chongli, but there was still no way.

What worried Du Jiaoyang even more was that he clearly felt that his own power had also been sealed.

How should I get out?

Du Jiaoyang had no clue, and he didn't know where the skin drum dragged him to.

Or, is it all just an illusion?

"who are you?"

Du Jiaoyang was wondering when he heard movement behind him.

Turning his head, he saw a little boy looking at him curiously.

Du Jiaoyang was also very surprised when he saw the little boy, because the other party was wearing a relatively old attire, coarse linen clothes, and a chain of animal teeth strung with rope as decoration on his head.Straw sandals are on the feet, and the firewood just picked up is carried on the shoulders.

According to Du Jiaoyang's knowledge, even in remote mountainous areas, there are no children dressed like this.

"Hello, I accidentally got lost and came here, where is this place? How should I get out of here?"

The little boy tilted his head to look at him: "No wonder the clothes are so strange, are all the people outside like this?"

"Anyone outside?"

Who is the little boy referring to outside?

"It's the people outside the mountain. My mother said that the people outside the mountain are different from those in our village."

"Gollum—"

Just as Du Jiaoyang was about to say something, his hungry stomach started beating.

The little boy covered his mouth and laughed: "My mother said that people outside the mountains are having a hard time, and it seems to be true."

Du Jiaoyang smiled embarrassedly. He had already felt hungry before, but he was in a tense atmosphere at that time, so he was ignored.

Now I can't feel my own strength, and the whole person is almost like when the demigod physique has not been activated, so I obviously feel hungry.

"Let me take you back to the village. Grandma is going to cook fish for us today!"

"Can I enter your village?"

Many villages are exclusive and do not welcome outsiders.

"As long as you abide by the rules of our cottage." The little boy didn't think there was any problem at all.

Seeing this, Du Jiaoyang followed him back to the village, looking for something to fill his stomach was the second priority, to be honest, he didn't know where this place was, and he didn't dare to eat too much.

The most important thing is to understand the situation here, why he came here, and how to get out.

The Human Skin Drum wouldn't pull him in for no reason, there must be some reason.

Du Jiaoyang has no clue now, so he can only get close to people as much as possible to find clues.

On the other hand, I also hope that Chong Li can give some strength and find a way to pull him back.

Thinking of Chong Li, Du Jiaoyang was very worried.

Before he came in, it was obvious that something was wrong with Chong Li, and he didn't know what was going on now.

If Chong Li hadn't been strong enough to support him, he wouldn't have been able to get to the sixth floor, but Du Jiaoyang didn't know what the price would be for Chong Li.

Du Jiaoyang followed the little boy for a long time, and finally gradually saw the buildings.

The cottage where Balang, that is, the little boy, is not too big, there are about thirty or forty families, and the houses are basically built of bamboo, and the buildings are very scattered.

It stands to reason that people in this kind of mountain should live relatively close, because there will be a lot of wild beasts nearby, and only by living close can they gather strength to drive those wild beasts away.

But it's very different here, and although I saw the house, I didn't see anyone coming or going.

Balang's house is far away from other people's houses, and it is built on the mountainside by itself, so there is no need to pass by other people's houses.

"Grandma, I picked up a person from the mountain." Balang started yelling as soon as he entered the yard.

A woman came out of the house, she saw Du Jiaoyang slightly startled.

"Where did this young man come from? Why is he so handsome?"

Before Du Jiaoyang came and remembered to answer, Barang actively answered for him:

"Mom, I picked him up from the mountain and said he was lost."

"So it's someone from outside the mountain, come in and sit down."

Du Jiaoyang walked into the room. The room was relatively low. When he entered the door, he had to lower his body to enter. There was a firepit burning in the room, and the walls were blackened by the firepit.

But apart from the cleanliness of the house, it shows that the owner is very diligent and often tidies up the house.

Balang's mother and son are very enthusiastic, and they are completely ruthless, and will not shy away from him, a foreigner.

"Excuse me, where is this?" Du Jiaoyang asked Balang's mother.

He also asked Balang this question, but the seven or eight-year-old Balang couldn't explain it clearly. He only said that this was in their village. so called.

"Our cottage has no name, and the land boundary belongs to Lou Kingdom."

Du Jiaoyang was extremely surprised, this place turned out to be Lou Kingdom!

Thinking of the Dashapo in later generations, even if it has been governed now, it will never be seen that it was lush in the past.

"I want to leave the mountain, how should I leave?"

Balang's mother gave him a meaningful look: "You can't go out after you come in."

"Why? I have my own family outside."

"This is the rule in our village." Aunt Balang said bluntly, without further explanation.

"Don't even think about going out, you can't get out of the woods outside."

Hearing this, Du Jiaoyang felt more at ease. He traveled here in this way. If everything was too good, he would be even more worried about what was hidden behind it.

"Then how am I going to make ends meet? Where will I live in the future?"

"You can live in my house with peace of mind, and you will have everything."

After Balang's mother said this, she didn't continue to speak.

Seeing that he couldn't find anything, Du Jiaoyang could only give up temporarily.

The sky darkened quickly, and Grandma Balang also prepared the meals.

They ate very simply, just some batter with green vegetables, and cooked a palm-sized fish.

Du Jiaoyang shared a bowl of batter. Although he was afraid that something might be wrong, he was really hungry, not only his hands and feet were weak, but also his brain could not move, so he ate boldly.

After eating a bowl of batter and a little fish, Du Jiaoyang didn't feel any discomfort, but felt that it was obviously not enough.

But this family is not rich, so Du Jiaoyang is too embarrassed to add another bowl.

At night, Du Jiaoyang and Balang slept together. The two of them squeezed together on a small wooden frame bed, and when they turned over, they could hear the sound of 'cackling'.

The body is covered with a thin quilt, and it is very cool in the mountains at night, and there is no way to keep warm with this thickness.

Fortunately, Du Jiaoyang is not afraid of the cold and can survive it.

"Balang, are you and your mother the only ones in your family?" Du Jiaoyang asked.

"I still have a sister, but my sister was lucky a while ago and was taken to the high priest to be a saint!"

"Saint?"

Balang's tone was full of pride: "Yes, it is a supreme honor for a saint to serve the High Priest."

Du Jiaoyang's heart skipped a beat, he thought of the human skin drum.

"Does she usually come home?"

Balang laughed: "My sister is no longer an ordinary person after going to the temple, and of course she will not return to our mortal world."

Du Jiaoyang felt even worse when he heard this.

"Then what do you do when you miss her?"

At this time, Balang's tone was full of melancholy: "That can't be helped. The high priest said that she is no longer my sister, but everyone's saint."

"My elder sister has loved me the most since I was a child. Although I know that I can't even ask for it, it is a great honor for my elder sister and our family. But I am still very sad that she left, and I often fall asleep at night. I woke up crying when I fell asleep."

"Is your sister the only saint?"

"No, I have to pick from various places, more than one. But the number is not many, my sister is very lucky."

Du Jiaoyang was skeptical about the word 'lucky', and when he thought of the creepy human skin drum, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Aren't you going to go out to see her? Or she can deliver the letter to you."

Balang still shook his head: "When she enters the temple, she must put aside her past and devote herself to worshiping the gods. They cannot contact ordinary people, otherwise they will not be pure enough."

"It is said that they are very particular about what they eat and use. They wash with milk when they take a bath. I hope my sister can have a lot of meat to eat, and don't have to worry about being hungry like us."

Du Jiaoyang sighed secretly, and asked again:

"What about your father?"

"My dad is a warrior. When I was just born, he was sent to fight and never came back."

"Feel sorry."

But Balang was not sad, and his tone was full of pride:

"My dad is a hero, he fought for our Lou people, and I want to be like him in the future!"

As he said that, Balang's tone was a little low: "But my mother disagreed, he told me to stay in the village obediently."

"She's for your own good too."

Although Du Jiaoyang sometimes disliked this sentence, sometimes he had to admit that what the elders said made sense.

"But I'm a man, so I should fight for my people!"

Balang was very unconvinced. Like many children who were beaten like this, he was full of longing for being a hero.

Du Jiaoyang also understood this kind of thinking. He might not persuade him normally, but when he thought of the human skin drum, he didn't think so highly of it.

It's okay if you are fighting for the country, but you are afraid that you will die inexplicably.

Lou Guo likes to use magic too much, and the price of doing so is to fill up many, many lives.

The bone beads inlaid on the human skin drum were refined one by one by using human beings. Just a small human skin drum was filled with countless human lives.

These people are often very good virgins, or warriors.

"If you go to war, what will your mother do?"

Balang suddenly froze: "It's for this reason that I didn't sneak away with the big guy last time."

Just when Du Jiaoyang thought that Balang was an obedient and filial child, he heard him say:

"But I will leave with them in two days! Anyway, you can't leave the village, so you can take care of my grandma for me first."

Du Jiaoyang was speechless, this child is too stupid and naive.

"Aren't you worried that I'm a bad guy?"

Balang giggled: "No one can hurt my grandma, even a warrior like my grandpa is very difficult."

"why?"

"Because my mother is a priestess, she is very capable!"
