"That's not right! It looks silly on the other side, but there should be other spirits in the forest." Huo Ling'er realized.
Yang Jian and Zhang Yange looked at each other.
"That guy is worried, let's take him away." Huo Ling'er said belatedly, "You two were deceived by it and you don't even know it."
Zhang Yange smiled.
Yang Jian's face was expressionless.
"Why doesn't it want to follow us?" Huo Ling'er asked puzzledly.
"Maybe it wants to be free." Zhang Yange said with a smile.
"Have you seen it before?"
"No, I only figured it out after you reminded me." Zhang Yange thought it would make her happy.
When Huo Ling'er heard this, a smile appeared on her face.
After walking a hundred miles, Zhang Yange and the others found a town.
Prepare to spend the night in the town tonight.
Naturally, they wouldn't live in a Datongpu house like that, so the three of them finally found a small temple.
The people worshiped in this temple seem to be the ancestors of the nobles here. Later, the nobles here were called to Chaoge by Emperor Xin.
The noble family became sacrifices.
As a result, the temple was completely abandoned.
Zhang Yange looked at the clay statue and saw that the head was missing.
Yang Jian looked around and said, "There seems to be something wrong here."
Huo Ling'er also said with some seriousness, "It seems to have a strange aura."
"We were just renting someone else's house, so don't worry," Zhang Yange said to the two of them.
Soon the aroma of stewed chicken emerged from the clay pot on the fire.
Huo Ling'er looked at the fire, while Yang Jian sat aside and practiced.
Zhang Yange found the head of the statue.
He put the head of the statue back, and then said to the statue, "Ashes to dust, dust to dust! Stop having any obsessions, human sacrifice is really wrong!"
Yang Jian opened his eyes.
He saw a soul wearing armor.
The soul's head looked like it had just been put back.
Yang Jian was already ready to take action.
If that soul wanted to attack Zhang Yange, then he would let the soul fly away first!
But the soul seemed to hesitate for a while, and then slowly dissipated, and then the clay statue turned into a pool of sand.
"Ashes will return to dust, and dust will return to dust!" Yang Jian closed his eyes with emotion.
Huo Ling'er naturally saw it too, but she didn't make a fuss.
They stayed in the ruined temple for one night and left the next day.
After they left, there was a loud bang and the ruined temple collapsed.
Zhang Yange clasped his fists in thanks to the ruins of the ruined temple.
Yang Jian and Huo Ling'er also followed the same example.
"I want to go shopping in the town." Zhang Yange said.
"What's the point of this town?" Huo Ling'er said, but still followed Zhang Yange.
A lot of people gathered not far away, and Zhang Yange asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Lord Yiren, I don't want to offer sacrifices! It has not rained here for a year.
We beg him to agree to the sacrifice, and we can help those who need it ourselves. If it doesn’t rain, everyone will die!" said the old man who led the group.
Zhang Yange's face was expressionless, and he was used to it.
"What if it doesn't rain after the sacrifice?" Yang Jian asked.
"If it doesn't rain yet, it will be God's fault." the old man said bitterly.
"Then who will make the sacrifice?" Zhang Yange asked.
"Old man, come first!" the old man said firmly.
The three of them were speechless for a moment.
They made a fuss for a while, but Master Yiren didn't come out.
Finally, the people left in anger.
"Come on, let's go meet this Lord Ren." Zhang Yange said with interest.
Yi is the fiefdom of this lord, and benevolence is his name.
Yiren was helpless. He was a herdsman official sent here by Emperor Xin.
Before coming, Di Xin told them that they should not allow human sacrifice.
Even if it cannot be banned, it must be reduced!
After he became familiar with the place one year after taking office, he banned human sacrifice.
As a result, it didn't rain here for a year.
He is under a lot of pressure now.
If it doesn't rain again, he will have no choice but to agree to the sacrifice. But once again, he may not be able to change his mind.
And when he thought about his dream, I was afraid that agreeing to the sacrifice would be of no use.
"Hey!" He sighed.
He was startled when he looked up, but he didn't lose his composure.
"Who are you?"
"We want to help you, but we don't know how." Zhang Yange said with a smile.
"Help me?" Yiren looked at them puzzled.
These three people seemed to possess magical powers at first sight. If they were to harm me, they wouldn't have to go to so much trouble.
After figuring this out, Yiren was no longer afraid.
Moreover, he followed Taishi Wen for a period of time back then.
I have seen the talented people under Grand Master Wen.
"Can you make it rain in this city?" he asked excitedly.
"We won't." Zhang Yange said seriously.
On the way, he asked Yang Jian and Yang Jian that the rain was controlled by heaven. But it has not rained here for so long, and I am afraid it is not just because there is no sacrifice.
"Then let's go." Yi Ren said with a wry smile. "I need a heavy rain now!"
"We don't know how to rain, but we want to try to help you ask for rain!" Zhang Yange said asking for rain, not asking for rain. "But we still want to figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
This friend of mine said that heaven will not stop raining because there are no sacrifices."
Yiren looked at the three of them carefully.
"The lack of rainfall here is definitely not because of the sacrifices." Yi Ren said with a wry smile. "No, it's also because of the lack of sacrifices!"
Zhang Yange raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I came here to take office one year ago, and on the first day I took office, I dreamed of a fairy. He fell in love with my daughter and wanted me to dedicate her to him.
He told me that as long as I agreed, everything would go smoothly here.
But this has nothing to do with my little daughter, I don’t agree!
When he was about to take it himself, a general in golden armor came. The general saved me, but his head was knocked off by the immortal." Yi Ren said this, with fear still in his eyes.
"In the end, the golden-armored general stabbed him, and I never dreamed of him again.
But it hasn’t rained here for a year.”
Huo Ling'er looked at Zhang Yange belatedly.
They now recalled that it was more like the soul of the statue in the ruined temple was trapped there.
Zhang Yange made him leave Fan Cong with just one word.
He could have left at that time, but he insisted on letting Zhang Yange and the others stay in the temple for one night.
Because as soon as he leaves, the temple will collapse.
"I'll take care of this matter!" Zhang Yange said seriously.
"I can't bear to leave my little daughter, I..."
"There's nothing wrong with you."
This is like killing one person and surviving a hundred people.
So Yiren is not wrong, what is wrong is the person who threatened him with such a thing!
Maybe it’s not a human being!
"The soul has escaped from the cage, and that person will definitely come." Yang Jian said to Zhang Yange.
"Then let's wait and wait!" Zhang Yange said with raised eyebrows.
"Why are you guarding the pig and waiting for the rabbit?" Huo Ling'er really didn't understand, and he didn't mean to be funny.
