Chapter 64 The True Face of the Mountain God
Chapter 64 The True Face of the Mountain God
Before midnight, the village chief led eight strong men to carry two bridal sedan chairs slowly over and finally placed them at the gate of the Su family's house.
Then, the village chief bowed deeply to Su Luo and Feng Xiyue: "Immortals, we entrust this to you. We will never forget your and your friend's great kindness."
The three members of the Su family took the lead in bowing to express their gratitude, and the villagers who had formed a circle around them also bowed to express their thanks.
"Thank you Immortal!"
"Alright, stop arguing. Let's proceed according to plan. Be alert and don't make any mistakes."
Feng Xiyue waved her hand, and without saying a word, she climbed into the bridal sedan chair and put a veil on herself.
Su Luo nodded to everyone, greeted Lin Ji who was standing there in a daze, and then followed him into the bridal sedan chair.
And so, Su Luo and Feng Xiyue sat in the bridal sedan chair and were carried to the village entrance by the crowd, where they were gently put down.
Then, everyone held their breath, staring intently ahead, waiting quietly.
Before long, a night breeze blew by, and two faint lights approached from afar. Soon, two men who looked like cultivators came to the group.
The short monk greeted everyone with a smile, "It's been a long time, everyone."
The village chief quickly stepped forward, bowing deeply to them, "You two immortals, the bride is ready."
The short monk squinted at the crowd, his intuition telling him something was amiss. "So eager? In every year you've been crying and begging for mercy, why don't you seem as heartbroken as you are today?"
The villagers' expressions froze for a moment, but because it was dark, they were not noticed.
The short cultivator's smile vanished abruptly, and his peak Foundation Establishment cultivation erupted, making the villagers gasp for breath.
He asked in a chilling tone, "You didn't find anyone to replace them, did you? Especially the men..."
The village chief quickly waved his hands and shook his head, "No, no! How could we dare!"
The shorter cultivator glanced at the taller one and said softly, "I'd like to believe you too, but you're behaving strangely..."
The next moment, the tall cultivator walked to the front of the bridal sedan chair, lifted the curtain, and used his divine sense to examine the two brides.
The villagers' hearts jumped into their throats.
Feng Xiyue, her face hidden by a veil, had a cold expression, and she tightly gripped the explosive talisman given to her by Su Luo in her hand.
If she were exposed, she would launch a sneak attack with explosive talismans, then take out her lethal pills and knock out one by one!
Su Luo, who was under the veil, raised her eyes and silently stroked the Crimson Flame Spear hidden in her sleeve with her right hand.
Fortunately, she had used a spirit-protecting talisman beforehand.
Feng Xiyue originally wanted to use the Sealing Pill, but after using it, she had no spiritual power for several hours, which would be too risky for a cultivator.
Su Luo absolutely could not accept being in a passive position! So she searched for a long time in the "Ancient Talismans" and finally found the talisman she needed—the Spirit-Concealing Talisman—before she felt dizzy and vomited. In the end, she hurriedly drew three Spirit-Concealing Talismans, although the price was that she had a lot of nosebleeds.
Unlike the Spirit-Sealing Pill, the Spirit-Concealing Talisman does not cause cultivators to lose their spiritual energy and become ordinary people. Instead, it conceals their spiritual energy, allowing them to temporarily hide as ordinary people.
Although the talisman drawn in a hurry could only last for two hours, the spirit-protecting talisman stuck inside their clothes was enough for Su Luo and the others to deal with the current situation.
As Su Luo had expected, after the taller cultivator used his divine sense to examine the brides in the sedan chair and confirmed that both brides were ordinary girls, he nodded to the shorter one.
"no problem."
The short monk's suspicions subsided slightly. "It seems I misunderstood you..."
Upon seeing this, Su's mother suddenly closed her eyes and fell straight down with a loud thud, startling everyone.
The eldest brother of the Su family, quick-witted, immediately threw himself to the ground and cried to his mother, "Mother! Mother! Don't faint!"
Su's father knelt down beside Su's mother, head bowed, body trembling, clearly crying.
Several women also started crying loudly.
"Waaah... Immortal, please forgive us... It's just that Aunt Su has fainted several times from crying these past few days, and we didn't want to upset her any further, so we didn't dare to cry out loud. I didn't expect her to still faint..."
"Yeah... Waaah..."
Everyone immediately echoed in agreement, sighing and lamenting.
The village chief was sweating nervously, but he tried to control his expression and said in a low voice, "My lord, when have we ever been obedient? We dare not disrespect the mountain god."
The short monk was completely relieved. He smiled again and patted the village chief on the shoulder kindly. "Haha, I believe you wouldn't do that. The reason I did that just now was because I was afraid of being punished by the mountain god. I hope you understand."
The village chief quickly replied, "I understand."
The short monk continued, "It's good that you understand. We're being so cautious because we're thinking of you. If you do something foolish, wouldn't that anger the mountain god? Besides, being the mountain god's bride is a blessing for them, isn't it? Stop crying, they're going to enjoy their happiness, why are you crying? Everyone should be happy!"
The villagers clenched their fists tightly, their eyes, hidden by their hair, filled with anger and hatred.
How could they possibly be happy to sacrifice their children?! Shouldn't they accept this blessing?!
The short monk offered a few perfunctory words of comfort, but seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, he lost interest and stopped talking. "Alright, the mountain god's marriage is the priority, so let's take the bride away."
After saying that, he snapped his fingers, and immediately two bridal sedan chairs floated in the air, drifting with them towards Nanshan Mountain.
Finally, the bridal sedan chair landed on the ground.
We've arrived at Nanshan.
Su Luo and Feng Xiyue stared coldly at the veil, poised to strike.
Suspiciously, even after the bridal sedan chairs had landed for quite some time, Su Luo and the others didn't hear any noise. Instead, the two cultivators paced back and forth in front of the two sedan chairs.
Even through the thick curtains and veil, Feng Xiyue could feel the disgusting and burning gazes of the two people outside, and she couldn't help but show an expression of disgust.
There is something wrong with these two people!
But soon, Feng Xiyue couldn't care less about those things, because she heard what the two people were secretly transmitting their voices using spiritual power.
"Seventh Brother, which one do you choose?"
"I can do it."
"The same old rule applies, I'll choose first. Let them come out and lift their veils to take a look."
"Listen to big brother."
"Hehe~ I wonder how these two girls look now. But they're only sixteen, still young and innocent, so they should be pretty good..."
"Fortunately, those villagers were foolish and believed us. Their virginity is just what we need to cultivate."
"Yeah, every time I see their stupid faces, I try my best to stop myself from laughing out loud! These idiots never knew that the so-called mountain god was a fake, that it was just a commotion caused by the magic crystal python! They actually believed us, not only offering us food every day, but also offering us virgins every year for our cultivation!"
"Big brother is so clever! To prevent them from running away and telling on us, he specially set up a barrier outside the village. Once they step out of the village, they will be burned to death by the spiritual fire!"
"Mortals may be as insignificant as ants, but the Immortal Alliance is no simple matter. We certainly can't let them cause us trouble..."
Feng Xiyue gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and almost crushed the explosive talisman in her hand. Her anger and killing intent surged in her chest, making her almost lose her mind.
Those two beasts! Worse than pigs and dogs!
As cultivators, they not only killed so many villagers for their own selfish desires, but also practiced evil arts to harm innocent girls! Their crimes are unforgivable! They deserve to die!
Just as Feng Xiyue was blinded by anger and was about to lift her veil and run out to fight them, she suddenly heard a girl crying next door.
"Waaaaah... Mother, elder sister... I'm scared..."
Feng Xiyue then came to her senses and realized that it was Su Luo crying. She was probably deliberately reminding her not to act rashly.
Thinking of this, Feng Xiyue closed her eyes, exhaled a deep breath, and reached out her other hand to touch the storage bag. Inside, besides her pills, there was also a cloth bag.
Before setting off, Su Luo specially took out a cloth bag and handed it to her, telling her not to be shy and to use it as much as she could to protect herself. When she took the bag and opened it, she found that it was almost entirely filled with various offensive talismans, and a small number of defensive talismans.
At that moment, her hands were trembling.
Each of these talismans was worth hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones, yet she suddenly had dozens! Feng Xiyue swore she had never been so wealthy before!
Thinking of those talismans, Feng Xiyue's eyes turned icy.
Now is definitely not the right time to act; let's wait a bit longer. Since Su Luo has given her so many talismans, it wouldn't be right not to teach those two a lesson!
