In order to avoid attracting attention, Ye Han had already taken out the spiritual fruit and spiritual wine from the 'Yue Shui Ring', so as soon as he opened the door, both the eight and nine-year-old child and the aunt
, his eyes couldn't help but look at Ye Han's hands, and his originally dull eyes immediately gained some brilliance.
"Come in." A hoarse voice came from the aunt's mouth. While speaking, she turned sideways to let Ye Han and Haitang in.
The whole room is not big, it can almost be said that the house has only four walls. Except for a square table that is somewhat yellowed and extremely dirty, there is no other superfluous thing in the house.
Looking over, he directly saw a bed in the wall. As soon as he entered it, a damp smell came. Ye Han didn't think anything of it. After all, the conditions he had lived in since he was a child were much more difficult than this.
Haitang couldn't help but frowned slightly, but compared to the heavy rain outside, she still didn't say anything. The room was very quiet, and the rain outside continued. If the environment in the room hadn't been so bad, Haitang would have felt that it was.
What a mood.
In addition to an aunt and a child in this room, there was an old man half lying on the bed. There was no man in the house.
Ye Han didn't say anything more, and directly put the few spiritual fruits he took out on the table. These spiritual fruits contain abundant spiritual energy. For monks of their level, they may not be of much use.
Help, but for ordinary people like them, it definitely has a lot of benefits.
When the aunt looked at the glamorous Haitang and Ye Han, she seemed to have a gentle look on her face and was very easy to talk to, so her guarded look became much lighter.
The aunt quickly took out two stools, fearing that Ye Han and Haitang would dislike them, and wiped them.
The eight or nine-year-old child had been staring at the spiritual fruits for a long time, and after getting the approval from his mother's eyes, he immediately picked up a green fruit and started chewing it, with a look of great enjoyment.
"Auntie, is there no one else at home?" After sitting down, Ye Han asked softly. After all, the deserted village looked very strange at the moment.
After the aunt finished everything, she handed a piece of fruit to the old man, then took one herself and started chewing it, while replying to Ye Han's words.
"The child's father died the year before last. The family has little income and little food."
After hearing this, Ye Han glanced out the window. The heavy rain made it difficult to see clearly. For some reason, Ye Han always felt a little uneasy. After all, the environment in this village was too depressing.
It seemed that it had been a long time since I had eaten such a delicious thing, and the only remaining spiritual fruit was quickly eaten by the child.
"This is not the case in our family. Most families in the village have dead fathers." The eight or nine-year-old child seemed to have said it unintentionally, but his mother glared at him.
This instantly aroused Ye Han's vigilance, but on the surface he remained unmoved. At the same time, he quietly took out a few spiritual fruits from the 'Yue Shui Ring' and placed them on the table again, while he himself
He took out a pot of spiritual wine called 'Xinghua Nong'.
Haitang took one look and immediately poured it on Ye Han knowingly. At this time, Haitang naturally discovered some clues. After all, this village has been full of weirdness from the beginning.
"Auntie, what is going on? Is this situation serious in your village?"
Ye Han asked casually while taking a sip of apricot blossom wine. The fragrance of apricot blossoms spread throughout the room. The child seemed to be a little greedy, but naturally Ye Han would not give him this spiritual wine.
Drinking. The aunt was silent for a while, and then sighed, "I don't know what evil has been done in this village. Before, people died every now and then. Later, after a Taoist priest came, there were not many such cases, but even so, there were still dead people.
Yes, but the frequency is much slower. The important thing is that the Taoist priest wants a lot of things, and the whole village has been exploited to the same extent, which is why we are so poor now."
After the aunt finished speaking, she sighed helplessly, and then continued, "I think you two are not ordinary people. Leave as soon as the rain stops to avoid getting into trouble."
Ye Han's expression suddenly became serious. Death must be a big deal, and there are naturally weird things happening in this village. He looked back at Haitang, and when he saw Haitang, she was looking at him with beautiful eyes.
"That Taoist priest is very powerful. We have seen him perform magic with our own eyes, so the people in the village are very convinced of them."
At this time, the child spoke again, and Ye Han had some idea in his heart that a Taoist priest and a person who died frequently must be related.
At this time, Ye Han laughed and secretly took out some more spiritual fruits from the 'Yue Shui Ring'.
"Auntie, I have some more here for you. I think this heavy rain will definitely not stop for a while, so I have to delay some time."
The aunt's eyes immediately shone. Although she didn't know what these fruits of different colors were, they tasted extremely sweet. After eating them, she felt refreshed and felt very comfortable all over her body.
So, while the aunt took the spirit fruit away, she quickly said you're welcome.
"Auntie, can you tell us something specific about this village? When did people start dying in the village? After all, it's not a big deal if people continue to die like this."
At this time, Haitang ruffled her hair and pretended to ask casually.
The aunt suddenly became alert again, "Who are you, always asking about the situation in the village?"
"Don't get excited, auntie. We were passing by here and happened to hear what you said, so we wanted to know more about it and see if there is anything we can do to help you. After all, wouldn't it be nice to avoid death?"
Ye Han waved his hand to signal the aunt not to get excited.
The aunt's expression also became complicated, and then her eyes were a little sad. After all, her man and eldest son were both dead, and their deaths were so unclear, but how could she, a woman, be in the village, and every other household?
The situation is mostly similar to this.
"It's nice to be able to avoid death, but it doesn't matter to me that my eldest son is dead. I can't let my younger son suffer the same fate."
"Auntie, please tell me about the situation, and then we'll see if there's anything we can do." Seeing that the auntie's mood seemed to be fluctuating, Ye Han continued to speak while the iron was hot.
After much hesitation, the aunt finally gave in. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether there is any way to treat a dead horse. Now living in this deserted village, almost everyone is living in a state of numbness.
"If you don't have the skills, just treat it as a story and leave after the rain stops. After all, this will cost lives. Even such a powerful Taoist priest in the village has been unable to deal with it for so long."
"Don't worry, we are not ordinary people. We can definitely handle ordinary troubles more than enough."
Ye Han smiled and looked confident. In the past, Ye Han would naturally not want to meddle in other people's business, but now this matter is a matter of life and death.
In addition, the purpose of this trip is to experience, so naturally I have to take care of it. After all, experience is to experience everything.
"I see, are you also the legendary cultivating immortals who can fly into the sky and escape from the earth?" The eight or nine-year-old child, who had been munching on the spiritual fruit, immediately screamed excitedly after hearing this.
Ye Han immediately pursed his lips and said with a smile, "Immortals are not just people who have cultivated themselves."
Later, Ye Han and Haitang immediately learned what happened. It turned out that this matter had to start more than ten years ago.
Although the village was remote at that time, it was not like it is now. People were close and united, and life was very prosperous. In addition, the village was huge and there were many people, so it was naturally happy and harmonious.
However, the good times did not last long. After a heavy rain, lightning and thunder, people began to die in the village. As time went by, this situation became more and more serious. Almost all the dead looked very miserable and terrifying.
Most of these people were men, and they were all the strong laborers in the village, so it didn't take long for the entire village to decline as a result, and gradually evolved into this.
However, there has been nothing wrong with the woman for so many years. They were all young men before they died, and then a Taoist priest who traveled around came here, so he offended the mountain god, so he had to kill someone.
He can help the villagers solve this problem, but at the end of each year two lives need to be paid tribute, both of which can only be done by children.
After what happened in the past, the whole village was in a state of death, so even so, they agreed to the Taoist priest to come down. After all, in this case, the villagers would still have a way to survive, and the two lives at the end of the year would be drawn by lot.
way to solve it.
Although what the aunt said was vague and vague, at least Ye Han and Haitang finally figured out the cause and effect of the matter.
No wonder the villagers in this village are so wary of strangers. Obviously, this troubled village can no longer withstand any hardships. Being able to survive is the only hope for these villagers.
After hearing the cause and effect of the incident, Haitang was already extremely angry, and her chest was rising and falling slightly. Ye Han also had a frosty face. At that moment, Ye Han raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
"It's just nonsense. The mountain god will also protect a land, but it will harm his own foundation. I think this Taoist priest is probably behind this!"
Ye Han's words frightened the aunt. After all, Taoist women didn't have much knowledge, and the people in this village already believed in the Taoist as a god, so they didn't dare to say anything after hearing Ye Han's words.
"I think it's nine out of ten. This is to bully the ignorance of these villagers. I think it's probably because I have some shady and evil ideas, so I'm hiding in this barren mountain. Otherwise, the death of those villagers wouldn't be so weird.
.”
Haitang's character is that she can't care less. When she was escaping from Liuzhou and Yanzhou, she never forgot about the injustice on the road, so naturally she would not let this matter go unnoticed.
Now, after understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Ye Han and Haitang no longer asked the aunt about anything. After all, since the matter has been clarified, they can naturally go to the Taoist priest tomorrow. After all, this matter is definitely separated from the Taoist priest.
It doesn't matter.
Tomorrow, when the heavy rain stops, you can go meet this Taoist priest for a while and see how powerful he is. However, according to Ye Han's guess, those who practice Kung Fu in such a barren mountain are probably not that powerful, otherwise
Nor would they go to this barren mountain to show off their power. Which of the truly powerful monks is not famous?
