The old village chief is a sensible person. Although he did not know that the mountain god's power was about to be exhausted, he did not ask why the mountain god did not protect Qingshan Village.

Because they were the ones who abandoned the mountain gods first, how could He De dare to ask the gods to protect them from evil spirits?

In the following days, the village chief and Zhou Bai successively invited the elders in the village, all of whom were famous people. They agreed, and the villagers had no other objections.

Although the Dazhen government was in turmoil one after another and its control over the local area was greatly weakened, on the surface, the imperial court was still the unshakable overlord.

Qingshan Village has to take risks to violate the law that prohibits private sacrifices in the Ming Dynasty. Many people are inevitably afraid.

In Zhou Bai's plan, the first step was to make the villagers aware of the dangers of ghosts, and to massacre villages and genocide is not just a matter of words, and then to control the influence of the local government.

Putting aside the prefectures and counties, Qingshan Village does not have the ability, but the relationship within the county must be opened up.

Seven days later, Zhou Bai fully recovered his physical condition with the help of wolf meat and incense water.

It is shown in the Book of Fortune as follows.

[Luck: all living beings, favored by the mountain god]

[Status: strong and strong, full of energy and blood]

[Skill: Archery Skills]

[Origin point: 1]

Zhou Bai can understand the meaning of the entries very straightforwardly, especially the luck, and the figure reflected on the first page of the Book of Luck explains it.

The figure is surrounded by pale white air, and at the edge of the first page, a large amount of gray and black air is ready to move, as if a disaster is about to happen.

However, a few wisps of pure white and light red Qi firmly guarded the figure, containing the disaster for a short time.

Before Zhou Bai was reborn, he didn't develop much of the functions of the Book of Luck, but he was definitely familiar with the interpretation of reflected figures.

All living beings represent Zhou Bai's current luck, which is the same as that of most ordinary people. His luck is pale.

A small amount of pure white and light red luck is favored by the mountain god.

As for the highly offensive gray-black energy in the distance, Zhou Bai guessed that it was related to his next actions, either from ghosts in the mountains or from the Dazhen government.

It can also be seen from here that the Xiaoqingshan Mountain God has indeed run out of gas, and there is still pure white in his favor.

In the human world, red represents influence within a county. White luck can only serve as a ninth-grade official at best. If you go higher, your virtue will not match your position and you will surely suffer misfortune.

Of course, a person's luck can be divided into natal luck and external luck, and Zhou Bai did not dare to claim to understand the secrets.

…

Through the efforts of Zhou Bai and the old village chief, most of the elders in the village won over, but there were still a few who were still doubtful and wanted to prove the existence of ghosts and mountain gods.

At the foot of Xiaoqingshan Mountain, in front of a dense forest, the head of Qingshan Village, the village elders and a group of young and middle-aged people gathered here.

"He Dong, what does the ghost look like?"

"Uncle He, do you think this amulet really works?"

"There may be big insects in the mountains, so it's better not to go there."

The Dazhen court has suppressed the world for two hundred and fifty years, and its laws are strict, and there is rarely anything sneaky or evil that harms people.

The majesty of the imperial court is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone is naturally concerned. If there are no ghosts, then if they openly defy the imperial decree, they are asking for trouble.

However, several people disappeared in the mountains before, and later Zhou Bai personally told about ghosts and gods. Even the bravest people are a little scared.

However, the elders must find out the truth before making up their mind to privately worship the mountain god.

In this way, seven or eight young men walked in front, with Zhou Bai hanging far behind, and walked deeper into the forest step by step.

Each of them had an amulet tied around their neck, which was wrapped with incense ash. Zhou Bai couldn't guarantee how useful it would be.

So he is very cautious. If you want to see a ghost, go ahead. I will definitely not take the risk.

The time Zhou Bai chose was around noon, when Yang was strong and Yin was weak, otherwise he would not even go further into the mountains.

However, the further you go up the mountain, the more ancient trees there are, the denser the jungle, and the less sunlight comes through.

The chirping of birds, the chirping of insects, and the roars of various wild beasts could be heard from time to time, which forced the young men to tighten their grip on the weapons in their hands.

The ghosts in the mountains have not yet been verified, but the harm caused by ferocious beasts has existed since ancient times.

After more than an hour, the beast did not appear, but gradually disappeared. The occasional howl came from farther away.

By this time we were already on the mountainside, the colors were darkening early in late autumn, and a feeling of coldness was approaching.

Zhou Bai raised his head and looked up. The dense forest ahead was dark and deep, already covered with thick fog.

It's like a big net spread out, waiting for prey to step into the misty forest.

There was silence, and goose bumps began to appear on Zhou Bai's skin. The atmosphere was obviously not right, so he decisively blew the whistle to warn.

In the fragmentary memory, there is a cave ahead, where He Dong chased the hare, and then ran away in trouble.

The young men looked back at Zhou Bai and found that he was standing motionless behind him, and immediately looked at each other.

There was an agreement before going up the mountain that Zhou Bairu could stop going forward if he felt it was dangerous. Whether or not he would explore it all depended on a few young men.

Finally, after some discussion, they stepped into the thick fog cautiously.

There is no way, the village elders at the foot of the mountain control most of the land, and they are just ordinary tenants. If they don't check it out, they will have no land to cultivate.

Zhou Bai's whole body was tense and he was ready to run back at any moment. He had no effective means to deal with ghosts, so he gave up whenever he needed to.

And the facts proved that his choice was correct.

In less than a cup of tea, the young men who had disappeared into the thick fog rushed out with frightened expressions on their faces. The chopping knives and hunting bows in their hands had long been abandoned.

Woo~

The wind was howling, the fog was rolling behind me, and the black air was chasing after me.

There were no traces of birds or animals, and the cold and piercing gazes in the black air seemed not to be living creatures.

Zhou Bai said nothing and relied on the hunter's body to escape quickly. As for his companions behind him, he also reminded him out of conscience.

"Spread the ashes from the amulet!"

During this run, even if he was out of breath, Zhou Bai never stopped until he saw the sun on the road ahead and ran out of the forest.

The old village chief and other village elders never left. When they saw Zhou Bai rushing down the mountain out of breath, they hurriedly greeted him.

"He Dong, where are Huzi and the others?"

"Something really happened?!" The old village chief frowned and looked ugly.

The Dazhen dynasty was not always prosperous, and the current turbulent and chaotic situation also occurred before Jiazi.

At that time, the old village chief was just a young boy, but he had really seen ghosts, and almost all the living animals in the village had died.

Zhou Bai ignored the questioning and just pointed to the mountains behind.

After a long time, the first young man ran out. He looked frightened, his face was pale, and he was still shaking even though he was being supported.

"It's good to survive, it's good to survive..." A village elder came up to comfort him.

However, these words could not comfort anyone. In the end, only five of the eight young men escaped, and three living lives were saved by them.

Zhou Bai was also helpless. He had to see blood to prove it?
