Walking westward, the sky was dark, like a curtain. As soon as I entered Fengxiang's territory, it started to rain.

Li Jiuzhou wiped the rain on his head and said, "This rain is lingering, and it shouldn't be stopped for a while. Find a place to hide first."

After a hurry, Old Man Zhang pointed ahead and said, "Look, there is a temple there, go in and avoid it."

When I came to the temple gate, there was a small temple, which was in it, and there were some incense offerings on the stage.

Li Jiuzhou speeded up and walked in. Old Man Zhang walked a little slowly, and a group of people followed closely behind.

As soon as he walked to the temple gate, a small man said "Oh" and something was mixed under his feet, which made his toes hurt.

The young man lowered his head and kicked it, "Ah..." and a white skull on the ground was wiped away by the drizzle, becoming more and more white and translucent.

Li Jiuzhou glanced at it and the rain was drifting outside, endlessly, and the next one was not stopped.

The female statue worshipped in the temple has a slim figure and a beautiful face. I don’t know which god it was. The sky was hazy. Looking at the statue, I always feel a sense of evil spirit.

Old man Zhang wiped the rain with his hands. Seeing some straw in the temple, he gathered it and went outside in the light rain to pick up some firewood and set a fire in the temple.

"I don't know when the rain will stop. If this is the case, the flood will only be more serious. It's really annoying." Li Jiuzhou said.

Old man Zhang just looked at the statue of god curiously and said, "Do you know what statue of god is offering?"

Li Jiuzhou said angrily: "You don't have eyes, don't you see yourself? You are offering a beauty."

This is the first time I have seen people who offer Buddhas and Taoisms in temples, land and mountain gods, dragon king Guan Gong, and beautiful women.

Seeing this statue dressed up, it didn't look like a Bodhisattva, but in this remote mountain, I couldn't think of what the temple was built for for a while.

The rain was getting heavier outside, and it seemed that it would be impossible to stop for a while. Li Jiuzhou simply got up, walked to the altar, reached out and touched the altar, which was still a good nanmu.

Old Man Zhang also came over and touched the altar, "Such a good nanmu is placed in this small temple, so you don't have to worry about being stolen."

Li Jiuzhou also found this strange when he said that this remote place and a small temple in the mountains would not have used such good nanmu as an altar.

Looking at the altar, there were all kinds of fruits, chicken, fish, beef and mutton. An exquisite copper incense burner was filled with incense. It seemed that many people came to worship.

"Well." A sound came from the bottom of the table.

"Who?" Old man Zhang took a step back and pointed at the table.

A group of soldiers drew their knives and looked under the table nervously.

A man slowly crawled out of the bottom of the table, wearing a blue dress and a headscarf.

Li Jiuzhou was a little surprised. He had so many people in the temple for so long that he didn't find anyone under the table, so he was still careless.

The woman curled up, hugged her hands tightly on her chest, covered her face with gauze, and showed a pair of scared eyes. Looking at a group of people, Zhan Zhan said magnificently: "I won't run away, don't kill me."

”

Old man Zhang turned his head and looked at Li Jiuzhou. Li Jiuzhou walked up and said gently: "Don't be afraid, we won't kill you, why are you hiding here?"

The woman in green looked at the shining swords in the hands of a group of soldiers, and her body trembled and did not dare to speak.

Li Jiuzhou waved his hand at them, and then everyone put away their swords.

"Don't be afraid, we just pass by here to shelter from the rain, not bad guys," said Li Jiuzhou.

While talking, the rain had stopped outside, and the bustling sound came. Someone walked towards the temple. The woman in green was so scared that she hurried to the bottom of the table.

When Li Jiuzhou stood at the entrance of the temple, he saw dozens of villagers, carrying sticks and ropes, coming to the temple in unison.

An elderly man in the lead looked at the group of people in the temple and asked kindly: "Have you ever seen a woman in green?"

With so many people coming to find a woman, things must be not simple. Li Jiuzhou thought for a while and blurted out: "We have been sheltering from the rain in this temple for a long time and have never seen anyone else."

The old man was a little disbelief and looked at the temple and said, "Please let's go to the temple to look for it."

"Don't you trust us?" Old man Zhang pulled out his knife.

"Village Chief, don't talk nonsense to them, it's important to do things." A stout man said later.

"Yes, get out of here, otherwise don't blame us for being polite." The people behind agreed, and were not afraid of the group of officers and soldiers holding weapons. Some of them were holding sticks to snatch the door.

Seeing them like this, Old Man Zhang went forward without saying a word and beat them up a few times.

The people behind were about to go up again. Seeing Old Man Zhang's fierce look, hesitated a little, holding a stick and shouting but not daring to step forward.

The old man waved his hand and the noise stopped.

The old man walked up and bowed and said, "I don't know who you are, but this is a housework in our village. That woman is related to the lives of the whole village. We must find her today, so please don't ask.

”

The person behind followed and said, "Yes, the day of sacrifice is coming soon. If you can't find her at that time, the flood will not be stopped."

Li Jiuzhou gritted his teeth: "There is indeed no woman you are looking for here."

The thick man in the crowd couldn't help it and was about to go in with a wooden stick. Li Jiuzhou flashed his body, grabbed him, swept his feet, and with a bang, the thick man fell to the ground, fell to the ground and rolled around.

Full of mud.

When everyone saw this, they didn't expect that this handsome boy was very strong and didn't know what it was. It seemed that these people were not easy to mess with.

Seeing this, the old man walked forward and stood in front of Li Jiuzhou. Li Jiuzhou grabbed his collar and was about to start. Looking at the old village chief's pale hair, the fist that reached in front of the old man shrank again.

return.

Li Jiuzhou looked at the old man who had to enter, looked at the eyes of a group of people surviving, waved his hand sideways, turned his head and said to the people behind him, "Let them go in."

A group of people put away their knives, and the strong man got up from the ground, and rushed straight in regardless of the mud on his face.

"Here!" The thick man pointed at the underside of the altar and shouted outside.

The crowd outside rushed into the temple. After a while, the woman in green tied up and several people carried them out.

The gauze covered the face of the woman in blue, and she couldn't see her face clearly. Her exposed eyes looked at Li Jiuzhou, with helplessness in her eyes.

Li Jiuzhou looked at the old man in front of him, sighed, and turned around and walked into the temple.

"Save me, I don't want to be a sacrifice." The woman in green shouted hoarsely.

Sacrifice? Could it be that these people want to use her to sacrifice? Li Jiuzhou looked back and couldn't believe it. Is it really useful to sacrifice to living people?
