Thunder exploded in the sky again, completely revealing the figures of Chai Jiangcui and others in front of the townspeople.
Chai Jiangcui took a step forward. The surface of his boots came into contact with the stagnant water, causing a splash of water. The sound of stepping on the water was not loud, but it miraculously covered up the sound of the rain and reached everyone's ears clearly.
This small step made all the townspeople retreat in unison, and those who were close even wanted to squeeze to both sides in an attempt to make way for Chai Jiangcui.
Even though they shouted so fiercely in front of the Shadow Temple, they still felt frightened once they actually faced them.
This is an immortal! He waved his hand and spread a burst of thunder, a supreme being that could kill even the shadow god they worshiped. With just a casual glance, the strong pressure made people unable to help but bow their heads and kneel in worship.
A strange scene appeared. Thousands of townspeople blocked the entrance to the branch of the Ancient God Sect. However, as soon as Chai Jiangcui approached, they would automatically separate like raindrops in the sky, leaving a spacious road.
Dark clouds covered the moonlight. As Chai Jiangcui gradually left, the atmosphere on the field became more and more depressing. Even though the wind was blowing, many people still felt out of breath.
Chai Jiangcui didn't walk very fast, but the surrounding area surrounded by the townspeople was also limited.
In just half a minute, Chai Jiangcui had reached the end of the encirclement.
Seeing the people who were about to leave, Granny Zhou could no longer remain calm. She stepped forward quickly, gritted her teeth and said bravely:
"Fairy, please stay!"
Hearing this, Chai Jiangcui paused and turned around slowly,
"Oh? Is there anything else you can do?"
Chai Jiangcui spoke in a very calm tone, but all the townspeople present felt their hearts tremble, fearing that the fairy would suddenly become angry.
Grandma Zhou, who was facing the danger, felt even more oppressed. She had been cultivating her Qi for many years and thought that her heart would not fluctuate too much, but her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
But now that she has stood up, it is obviously more inappropriate not to say anything further. In desperation, Granny Zhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue:
"Fairy, there have been many disasters in Huazhou in recent years, either drought or floods. The land in Huazhou is not fertile to begin with, and the output of food is very limited.
After several natural disasters, there was very little harvest from the fields, not to mention the severe exorbitant taxes imposed by the court. Even less food could be distributed to the people."
Grandma Zhou's old voice became deeper and deeper, and as she spoke, a few tears could not help but shine in her cloudy eyes.
However, Chai Jiangcui didn't buy it. These people surrounded her with weapons. Thinking about it, she knew that they couldn't just come to her to cry.
"Then what? What does this have to do with me?"
Seeing that Chai Jiangcui was still unmoved, Granny Zhou burst into tears and said:
"You are a fairy in the sky. If you don't eat the grains of the world, you don't know the suffering of us people. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. We ordinary people can't live without food.
If a person is really hungry and can't stand it anymore, he can do anything. I have seen too many tragedies caused by food in my life. Tragedies that degenerate humanity such as exchanging children for food, killing wives and adoptive fathers, etc. have happened in Dongshi Town.
No less than ten times!”
Talking about the past, the tears in Grandma Zhou's eyes couldn't stop flowing out. This time, she was not pretending, but showed her true feelings. Back then, her mother had no choice but to cut off her own flesh to feed her relatives because there was no food.
Their family endured a terrible famine.
"The mass graves in the south of the town are all buried with people who died of starvation and freezing. Every winter, carloads of people are taken there to bury them. This situation continued until the arrival of Lord Shadow God.
I don’t know the evil nature of Lord Shadow God’s sacrifices. No one who goes to sacrifice can come back. But Lord Shadow God has brought us food and cloth, so that the people of Dongshi Town don’t have to endure hunger.
Compared to the people who died of famine, the thirty or forty people who disappear in sacrifice every year are really insignificant!"
Following Granny Zhou's sad narration, most of the townspeople in Dongshi Town lowered their heads. Most of them had family members who were taken there as sacrifices, and they all resented the Shadow God at first.
But as Granny Zhou said, without food, not only would they suffer from cold and starvation, but many more people would die every year. Moreover, many people were cured of diseases they suffered in their early years by worshiping the Shadow God.
"So you are feeling resentful now, you hate me for killing the Shadow God, and you want to ask me for an explanation?"
Chai Jiangcui looked around with a cold voice. Although she sympathized with these people, she would never compromise. Don't look at the reason why these townspeople can only complain now, it is because of her strength. If she were an ordinary business traveler, she would not be here.
He has been tied up with five flowers and has become a sacrifice to the evil god.
Anyway, Mu Yingshen asked for a sacrifice without specifying a person, so it would be better to arrest others than to save a few people in the town from dying.
From the moment they entered the town, the townspeople looked at them clearly as if they were sizing up prey.
"We never dare to have such an idea. We are here today just to ask the fairy to give Dongshi Town a way to survive."
After speaking, Granny Zhou ignored whether there was any water on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
The white-haired head hit the muddy stone road, making a dull sound. All the townspeople behind Granny Zhou also knelt down at the same time and bowed heavily to Chai Jiangcui.
"Please give me a way to survive!"
Tens of thousands of people kowtowed and prayed for a way out, and the sound was so loud that it even drowned out the sound of the pouring rain.
These townspeople stood in the rain for a long time, and their clothes were already soaked by the rain. The rain took away a lot of heat, and these townspeople were shivering from the cold. Several of the half-year-old children were even pale and could only
With the help of my parents, I managed to kneel on the ground without falling down.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Jiu Lin'er felt her heart trembling. Although she was a little arrogant, she was on the right path and she certainly had good thoughts in her heart.
The miserable appearance of the townspeople made Jiu Lin'er feel a little unbearable, and she wanted to persuade Chai Jiangcui.
But before Jiu Lin'er could speak, Jiu Jiu was keenly aware of his sister's thoughts. Jiu Jiu grabbed Jiu Lin'er's arm and signaled her not to act rashly.
Chai Jiangcui must be a righteous monk if he can take action against the evil god without hesitation. She has her own reasons for not speaking. If Jiu Liner rashly dissuades him at this moment, she may make the other party unhappy.
Jiu Lin'er was still a little reluctant to have his arm pulled, but seeing Jiu Jiu's eyes so determined, he had no choice but to suppress the sympathy in his heart and resisted making no move.
"Heh~"
The people of Dongshi Town knelt down in the cold rain for nearly five minutes, but in the end they just waited for a chuckle.
Chai Jiangcui stroked the hair beside her ears, covered her hands and said lightly:
"Half an hour ago I saw hatred in your eyes. Why do you think you can intimidate me by kneeling down and begging with people's opinions?"
