Chapter 388

Li Changting helped Xu Qing up. They went to the window, opened a corner of the window and looked out.

There is a large area of open space outside, which should be the village's grain drying field. At this moment, bonfires and torches are burning in the grain drying field, and those villagers who didn't see them during the day also gathered here.

When Xu Qing saw the villagers, they piled bundles of firewood and fire together, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.

A moment later, she saw an old woman with gray hair coming from afar on crutches. The old woman was followed by several men. She looked very powerful, but she was a bit obscene.

When the villagers saw her, they immediately saluted and said, "grandma."

God woman? Xu Qing chewed these two words, and his face was a little strange.

Shenpo wore a black robe, her head was also tied with a black hair band, and her eyes were full of evil light.

"Bring it up." She waved.

Soon, two men carry a woman tied by a rope, and then tie her to a pillar. Xu Qing is surprised to see that the woman's mouth is stuffed with cloth, unable to speak, just because of fear and tears.

And the woman's abdomen is slightly bulging and looks like she's pregnant.

Xu Qing frowned, then saw the villagers pile firewood at the foot of the woman, and immediately understood what they wanted to do.

Why do you want to burn this woman? Xu Qing thinks these people are crazy!

This is a pregnant woman!

Li Changting gently patted Xu Qing on the shoulder to let her continue to see.

The goddess began to circle around the woman tied to the pillar, dancing a kind of exaggerated and strange dance, reciting words in her mouth, talking like a madman.

The next moment, everyone seemed to smell the stench from this woman, and they all looked disgusted.

Because far away, Xu Qing vaguely heard about "mountain gods", "defilement", "sacrifice" and so on. In recent years, there are still people who are so superstitious about mountain gods, which Xu Qing has never heard of.

Then the villagers set fire to the firewood pile under the woman.

"Stop it Before Xu Qing made a sound, Hu Ling took people out.

"Come on, let's get out." Xu Qing told Li Changting.

Xu Qing asked Ji and Ping'an to stay in the house and not go out. Then they went downstairs with Li Changting to the sun drying barn.

"Who are you?" The goddess narrowed her eyes and looked maliciously at the five men.

An old man said not far away from shenpo: "shenpo, these people are staying here."

God grandmother: "a few foreigners don't want to meddle in the affairs of our Shanshui village! If you offend the mountain god, you can't afford it! "

Hu Ling coldly looked at her: "pretending to be a ghost, ignoring human life, what mountain god is not, I don't know, but you angered us, you can't afford it."

Shenpo was surprised by each other's momentum: "who are you?"

Hu Ling: "people in the court."

As soon as Hu Ling's words fell, there was a sudden uproar around him.

It turned out that it was the people of the imperial court. The villagers were shocked and looked at Hu Ling with awe and fear.

Although they worship the mountain gods, the imperial court is also an existence where they can live and die if they can.

Shenpo was a little flustered. She asked Hu Ling, "what evidence do you have?"

Hu Ling: "when I catch you and convict you, you will know the evidence."

She opened her arms and asked incredulously, "what's wrong with me? I am the messenger sent by the mountain god to the world. I am the supreme being. Without me, the mountain god can not protect this land. All of you have to live in hell and bear the anger of the mountain god! "

Xu Qing came over and said, "Hu Ling, you can't reason with a psychopath. People here are brainwashed seriously. It's impossible to change their ideas in a word or two."

Hu Ling: "I remember that the imperial court used to suppress this kind of goddess. How can it still exist now?"

Li Changting: "after the natural disaster, people's mind is unstable, and the imperial court is lax in management. It's easy to breed this kind of villain who takes advantage of the opportunity to make trouble."

Seeing the contemptuous eyes of several foreigners, shenpo was furious: "you dare to despise the emissary of Mountain God. How dare you! Come on, get these outsiders out of the village! "

More than 70 villagers stood in front of them and tried to drive them away, but they were afraid of the sword in Hu Ling's hand.

"Go away quickly. There's no good end to irritating shenpo."

"The things in Shanshui village have nothing to do with you. Don't mind your own business."

"The child in that woman's stomach is a devil. We must burn it. Otherwise, the mountain god will be angry and will not give us water to drink, and there will be no crops in the field."

"Please go quickly."

"Let's go."

Hu Ling said to them:

Xu Qingzi turned his eyes slightly and said in a loud voice, "it's said that shenpo is the messenger of the mountain god. I want to see what powerful abilities shenpo has."Xu Qing looked at shenpo provocatively: "you say you are an emissary. How can we believe that unless you can summon the wind and rain and become soldiers, you can't mask us!"

Shenpo's eyebrows moved and she stared at Xu Qing coldly: "a vulgar woman dare to challenge the authority of Mountain God. You don't deserve to see my ability!"

Xu Qing: "do you have no ability or dare not show it to us?"

"What do you know?" she scolded?! Every time I use my divine power, I will lose my accomplishments, and even my life will be hurt. How can I cast a spell without any preparation? "

Xu qingtiao eyebrows: "so you need to prepare. Well, we'll give you time to prepare. This woman will be placed with us for the time being. Unless you let me believe that you are a real messenger of Mountain God, oh, we'll send you to the government, a woman who pretends to be a supernatural being and deceives the common people. At that time, a decapitation is inevitable!"

She swallowed her saliva and said, "good! Don't give you some color to see see, you are not see coffin don't shed tears! Let me prepare for one day, and tomorrow I will show you the power of the God of the lower mountain! "

Xu Qing is not afraid of: "OK, we'll wait!"

Shenpo left angrily, probably because she found that Hu Ling had extraordinary skills. It was impossible to drive them away by force, so she had to come down.

Hu Ling they will be tied to the pillar of the woman down, the woman has been too weak to stand, kneeling on the ground to thank Hu Ling for their help.

Hu Ling and they brought the woman back to the wooden house. Although she was a little disgusted with the woman, she didn't say anything. She went back to her room and went to sleep.

The villagers of the sunning barn also gradually dispersed. They were worried about the divine power of the goddess tomorrow.
