At three o'clock in the afternoon, a group of figures appeared in the shade of the forest.

The roots in the woods were intertwined, and there were sharp dead branches everywhere, and in some places, the soil was turned up. Xi Feiluan supported the trunk and walked forward with difficulty.Behind him followed three or five young villagers, and the village chief was beside him, and was supported by the villagers to move forward.

The corpses in the woods have been cleaned up, and there is still a faint smell of blood in the air. Xi Feiluan even saw a few scattered bones along the way.

"Look, Immortal, this is here." The young man cut off the dead branches blocking the front with an iron axe, and the village head moved the messy branches in front to both sides, pointing to the front and said to Xi Feiluan.

Xi Feiluan stooped and stepped in. In front of him was an open space with sparse trees. Sunlight streamed down from the roof and hit the two-person-high brick pile in the open space.

Xi Feiluan stood in front of the masonry and looked at it carefully.

From these bricks and stones, the original appearance of the mountain temple could not be seen at all, Xi Feiluan was a little disappointed.The village chief said, "Since the temple collapsed, we haven't come here to see it again. Here, right here." He pointed to a depression on the mound: "The two children at that time It was here that the bones were dug up."

Xi Feiluan squatted down, and there were some dark brown marks on the bricks and stones, which seemed to be blood.

The village head continued: "This temple was also built by the ancestors. There is nothing special about it. It is just a little smaller and broken. We didn't have much money to renovate it... The mountain god statue was placed in the middle of the temple at that time. There is also a small square platform in front, which should have been buried by the soil. In the past, when we went to worship, we would put some melons and fruits on the small platform. Oh, there was only an incense burner missing a corner on the platform. .”

"Hmm." Xi Feiluan answered briefly and stood up.

The village chief said cautiously: "Immortal, have you seen anything?"

Xi Feiluan shook his head lightly, walked around the ruins of the temple, and said as he walked, "Did you find anything unusual in the temple when the statue disappeared?"

"No, not at all." The village head recalled: "It just disappeared suddenly. The statue was sinking. We looked around at the time, and there was no trace of dragging on the ground. The offerings and incense burner on the small table were also there. The god statue disappeared out of thin air, this is not caused by the mountain god, what else could it be?"

"Have you searched every household in the village?"

"Hey, what you said, people in our village live together for generations, and usually don't even lock the door, who would covet a stone statue?"

Xi Feiluan nodded and didn't say much.When he came here, there were indeed no padlocks on the doors of every house.

After a while, he picked up a half-burned incense stick on the ground: "The passing vendors and travelers..."

"There are no vendors passing by here--" Speaking of this, the village chief seemed a little excited: "Our village is too remote, and we can't find a way to sell something. To be honest, you are the fairy we saw this month. This is the first person from outside the village who has not brought any passengers on the road outside the village for several months..."

The ground trembled suddenly.

"What, what?!" The village chief suddenly looked at the ground.

"Isn't it not going to appear during the day?!" The young villagers turned pale and rushed to Xi Feiluan's side in panic: "Immortal! The mountain god, the mountain god is coming to punish us! Save us!"

"Hush—" Xi Feiluan held the sword hilt at his waist with a calm expression, as if he was listening carefully.

The ground trembled violently, and the trees trembled accordingly. Countless dead branches and leaves fell from the crown of the trees, but Xi Feiluan remained motionless.

The villagers seemed to be infected by his attitude, crouching beside him and not daring to breathe.

After a while, the vibration finally gradually weakened.

That thing seems to be gone.

Xi Feiluan let go of the hilt of his sword and stood up straight.The young villagers all sat down on the ground, thankful that they had escaped the disaster.

The village chief also let out a breath slowly, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Why did that thing come out during the day?" A young man regained his strength and couldn't help shouting: "And it just took away several members of Lao Yu's family, why did it reappear so quickly?"

"Happy night, but not afraid of light." Xi Feiluan said lightly.

"what?"

"But what made it overcome its habit..." Xi Feiluan muttered and raised his head, staring blankly at the young man who spoke just now.

In the world of self-cultivation, water and soil support people, Xi Feiluan's facial features are flawless, and his skin is so thin that even pores can't be seen. When he looks at someone, it's like an exquisite doll looking at you. The pale eyes suddenly rushed into the opponent's eyes, making people feel very stressed for no reason.

The young man was stunned and did not move. After a while, a few suspicious red clouds floated on the young man's cheeks.Xi Feiluan suddenly thought of something, and said eagerly: "Go back to the village!"

"Immortal, you..." The village head was about to ask what's wrong, but Xi Feiluan hurriedly walked back. When the village head saw it, he didn't bother to ask, and hurriedly beckoned others to follow.

The group hurried back to the village, and the village chief was stunned as soon as they walked out of the woods.

The raised mounds blocked outside the village like hills, blocking their vision and way out.

"This is, this is... the mountain god is here again!"

Everyone panicked and wanted to find a way to avoid it, but they saw Xi Feiluan holding a sword, as light as a bird, jumping onto the mound in two or three times, standing on the top and looking towards the village.

A few people saw it, and climbed up with hands and feet. A fast-climbing young man was almost at the top. He stretched his neck and looked towards the village. Not far away, the village was full of ravines and devastated. , most of the houses have collapsed.

Seeing this scene, the young man panicked, his feet slipped suddenly, and he fell back all of a sudden. Xi Feiluan picked up the young man's collar with his scabbard and dragged him back.

"I'll go and have a look first." After Xi Feiluan finished speaking to the village chief who had just come up behind him, he jumped off the mound and walked into the village.

All the old and young in the village ran out and gathered on the trail in the village, and a house closest to the edge of the village collapsed, and that was exactly the house that the village chief had allocated to them for rest.

Junior brother and Fei Zhe are still inside.

Xi Feiluan unconsciously quickened his pace a lot. When people saw him coming back, they shouted excitedly: "Immortal! The mountain god is here again!"

"The mountain god no longer gives us a chance to repent, the mountain god is completely disappointed in us!"

"Immortal, have you found anything in the forest?"

Xi Feiluan didn't care about these things, he pushed aside the scattered crowd and looked at the collapsed house.

The thatch and bricks fell to the ground. On the ruins, Fei Zhe and Yu Sheng, whose upper body was tied up, sat there, all in disgrace.

It's all right.Xi Feiluan lowered his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a big rock that didn't know where it came from under Yu Sheng's buttocks. When he saw Xi Feiluan came back, he immediately stood up, jumped off the ruins lightly, and landed in front of Xi Feiluan. The demons almost fed me as rations..."

"Shut up!!!" Fei Zhe broke down and yelled, and immediately rushed over, extremely wronged: "My lord! That thing arched directly from the ground, and almost swept the kid away. I was just about to hit the house. It just collapsed!"

"Yeah, if the house wasn't about to collapse and got stuck on that thing, Senior Brother wouldn't be able to see me in the future." Yu Sheng looked at Xi Feiluan: "Senior Brother, this thing seems to have taken a fancy to some of us."

Xi Feiluan flicked his eyelashes, and his gentle eyes flicked over Yu Sheng's body: "It's fine."

Yu Sheng's smile was stagnant, as if discouraged, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original state: "Why do you care about me so much?"

"Hey, don't put gold on your face!" Fei Zhe looked disgusted: "The mountain god should have swallowed you just now."

"Oh—this is the truth..." Yu Sheng glanced at him, lowered his eyes and smiled, and his tone softened: "Brother, look at him."

Before he finished speaking, Xi Feiluan suddenly stepped forward, lowered his head a few times and untied the rope on Yu Sheng's body.

"My lord!"

"Brother?"

The rope fell to the ground, and Yu Sheng's hand was free again. He looked at Xi Feiluan with a little surprise on his face.

Xi Feiluan didn't mean to explain. He turned around and looked at the villagers who gathered behind him. The faces of the villagers showed the same fear and uneasiness.

"Did you hurt anyone just now?" Xi Feiluan asked with his head tilted.

Fei Zhe: "My lord, these mortals were not harmed. The thing came towards us, knocked down the house, and ran away when it failed - why did you let him go?"

Xi Feiluan tilted his head to look at Yu Sheng, and then looked away: "Have you seen what it looks like?"

"Look, I saw it, but I didn't look carefully. I just looked at a black thing protruding from the cracks in the ground. Oh, that kid should look carefully."

Yu Sheng stretched his muscles and bones, and then said: "It's similar to what those people said, that thing is very hard, like a dead branch, but I don't know what it looks like underground. Brother, let's go Did this village stimulate its appetite?"

Xi Feiluan nodded, looked at Yu Sheng seriously, and said word by word: "You are a monk, Dabu." After finishing speaking, he saw the village chief pushing aside the crowd and approaching, so he went up to meet him.

Yu Sheng: "..."

The village chief hurried over, thinking that the mountain god had eaten people again, and after careful questioning, he found out that no one had been caught this time. Even so, he was very worried: "Immortal, what can I do, mountain god?" You want to attack even the immortals, are you dissatisfied with our behavior of asking you for help... If so, will our village have a good life in the future..."

"Not a god." Xi Feiluan corrected him lightly.

"Okay, on the one hand, I want the protection of the mountain god, but on the other hand I am afraid of the punishment of the mountain god. How can there be so many good things, so I ask you, should the mountain god be eliminated or not?" Fei Zhe said impatiently.

The village chief fell silent, looked around in confusion, and the villagers behind him began to whisper.

"But this mountain god...has indeed protected us for many years..." The village head had mixed emotions in his eyes, like lamentation and fear.

"My life is about to die, but I suddenly care about that little blessing." Yu Sheng walked up and down with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and when he walked to Xi Feiluan, he tilted his head again, as if thinking of something : "Brother, life is more important—or kindness is more important?"

"Life is important." Xi Feiluan didn't even think about it.

Yu Sheng's smile froze again, and he glanced at him with extremely weird eyes, and stopped talking.

The village chief struggled in his heart. After a while, he gritted his teeth, as if he had figured something out: "Get rid of it! No matter what, for us to survive... this mountain god must be removed!"
