Chapter 29: God's Messenger

The old priest's request made the village chief stunned for a moment.

"Going to see Xiao Ai? This..."

This request is not too difficult. After all, the wolf god in the mountains has a noble status and the village chief dare not offend him, but the girls in the village can still be introduced.

only……

After hesitating for a few seconds, the old village chief felt that he should explain it clearly in advance to avoid any trouble.

He said awkwardly, "Although this girl has no father or mother and is young, she is someone whom the mountain god looks up to and has a special status. During the Double Ninth Festival sacrifice, all the villagers in my Shuisheng Village worshiped the mountain god. This girl can actually Stand beside Master Wolf God and receive the gift together.”

"So even the elders in the village and I are cautious in front of her and never dare to offend her just because she is young. So..."

The village chief did not say the next words, but the old priest already understood what the village chief meant.

"We know that the village chief doesn't need to worry," the old priest said. "I also understand that this girl is special, so I will never offend her. The village chief can just relax and introduce her."

The old village chief breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then please ask the priest to come with me."

He was really afraid that this priest, who thought too highly of himself, would anger Xiao Ai and bring trouble to the village.

Ever since Xiao Ai was chosen as a virgin, the villagers felt that they had offended this little girl. Later, the little girl gained the favor of the mountain god, and even during the Double Ninth Festival sacrifices, she could stand next to the mountain god and receive gifts from the villagers.

After the Double Ninth Festival, everyone knew that Xiao Ai could not afford to offend.

And after Xiao Ai was tied up and sent to the mountain temple and came back, his temper became colder day by day. He neither plays with the children in the village nor talks to the elders. He often sits in front of his house alone and stares at Hanyu Mountain in a daze.

Even if someone takes the initiative to talk to her, her attitude is lukewarm, and her bored and displeased indifference makes people feel inexplicably flustered.

So the old village chief was a little nervous when he took the Li priest to see Xiao Ai. Fortunately, when they left, neither the old priest nor the girl beside the priest took away the gift box on the table, so the two-hundred-year-old water ganoderma was "forgotten" by everyone at the old village chief's house.

This gave the old village chief some courage.

He led two Li people, an old man and a young man, through the village and arrived at the door of Ai Laizi's house. The old village chief saw Xiao Ai sitting in front of his house from a distance, using a cattail leaf fan to fan the fire for making medicine.

The old village chief suddenly smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Xiao Ai, are you making some medicine?"

The girl turned around and saw the old village chief with a smile on his face, and the two aliens behind the old village chief.

There was no big reaction, she just nodded and explained, "My brother's illness is not cured yet. Grandpa Baizu said that this medicine must be taken twice a day, regularly and quantitatively, and cannot be stopped. Only if it lasts for more than half a month can the disease be removed." ”

The Grandpa Baizu mentioned by the girl is an elder in the village. He knows medicinal herbs and can cure diseases. He has been practicing medicine for generations. When villagers get sick, they always seek treatment from this old man. He has a high status in the village.

After the girl finished speaking, she glanced at the two foreigners behind the old village chief and asked, "Is there something wrong, grandpa village chief?"

Even when facing the village chief who had harmed her, the girl's attitude was far from cold.

It's just that the old village chief felt guilty, so the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

"It's like this. These two guests from the Li ethnic group are visiting the village and want to meet you. I wonder if Xiao Ai is free now?"

After the old village chief finished speaking, the girl looked at the old priest behind the village chief and the girl beside the old priest.

Seeing the girl looking over, the old priest raised his hands and saluted, "The old priest of the Xifeng Department of the Li tribe, Li Ju, has seen the envoy of the wolf god."

As an old man, this is already a great gift.

The girl hesitated for a moment, then bowed, but then shook her head and said, "The priest misunderstood, I am not the messenger of Lord Wolf God. If you have anything to ask me, just tell me directly. There is no need to give this big gift."

The girl's response surprised the old priest.

Although this girl is simply dressed, her speech and behavior are modest and polite. She has received etiquette education at first glance. She is definitely not an ordinary country villager and is incompatible with the environment of this wilderness mountain village.

The old priest thought for a while and then said.

"In this case, the old man said it bluntly... Since ancient times, we, the Jiuli tribe, have been following the guidance of the Holy Mountain, making our home all over the world and migrating from place to place. But this year, according to the guidance, our Xifeng tribe needs to move to your land. I will stay in your place temporarily for a few years.”

"But I heard that there is a wolf god in the mountains. If we want to live here, we must obtain the wolf god's permission. But we have no one to introduce us. So I want to shamelessly ask Miss Ai for help!"

The old priest said sincerely, "This matter is extremely important to our Attacking the Wind Department. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, everyone in our clan will be grateful."

After the old priest finished speaking, everyone present looked at the girl in front of the house. Not only the old village chief, but also several nearby neighbors who secretly watched the excitement, everyone was curious about how the girl would answer.

The old village chief's eyes were even more eager, and he wished he could accept the offer instead of Xiao Ai.

This Li priest has a noble status and generous spending. If he can make them owe a favor, it will be a great thing!

However, under the eager and expectant gaze of the old village chief, the girl named Xiao Ai shook her head and said.

"Sorry, Grandpa Priest, Xiao Ai can't help with this."

She said with a serious expression, "Master Mountain God has been so kind to me. If I fail to repay my kindness, I am ungrateful. When I am unable to repay my kindness, I still use the name of Master Mountain God to seek benefits. That is disrespectful... So Xiao Ai can’t help the priest.”

"But Master Priest, you don't have to worry too much. The Mountain God is a good god. As long as you are open-minded and don't do evil things, I don't think the Mountain God will embarrass you."

The girl's answer made the old priest smile, and he became more aware of the little girl.

He did not continue to pester, but smiled and said thank you, "In that case, thank you Miss Ai for your guidance. I will keep it in my heart."

There was no entanglement, and there was no lingering. After expressing his gratitude in words, the old priest took Qianqian and left directly.

Although the village chief wanted to keep the two of them for a while, the old priest insisted on leaving. He had no choice but to send the two of them to the village in person. Along the way, he kept promising that he would find a way to persuade Xiao Ai and the priest not to be discouraged when he returned. .

But along the way, the old priest just smiled at each other and didn't say much.

After the two of them left the village far away from the old village chief with a smile on his face, Qianqian asked curiously.

"Grandpa Priest, why don't you take out the gift you asked me to prepare? If you take out the gift, maybe the envoy will think more about it."

The old priest shook his head and said, "You little girl, you think things are too simple. Some people in this world can be bribed, such as the head of the aquatic village. But there are also some people who cannot be bribed, such as This wolf god envoy."

"Although she is young, she is well-founded and neither humble nor arrogant. She is not someone who can be bought with a few treasures. If you keep pestering her, it will have the opposite effect. It is better to leave openly, so that both parties can form a good relationship and leave a good impression. "

Qianqian pouted, a little unhappy, "But if we just leave like this, we won't be able to find anyone to help us ask for the wolf god in the mountain. Grandpa Priest, do you think the old village chief can really convince the god?"

The old priest smiled and patted the little girl's head and said, "Actually, the divine messenger has already given the hint, but you just didn't notice it."

Qianqian was immediately stunned, "Ah? Already given a hint? What kind of hint?"

The old priest smiled and said, "The envoy said that as long as we are sincere, the mountain god will not be in trouble. Haha... the implications of these words are already obvious."

"Although she claims that she is not the envoy of the Wolf God, in this small mountain village, a mere country girl can have such manners and demeanor. Could it be that she is a sage born with knowledge?"

"I can't say that this little angel has been taught and trained by the wolf god in the mountains, so she is so extraordinary. It's just that she lives in the village and doesn't want to make her identity public, so the villagers don't know it."

"So her words can also represent the Wolf God in a sense. Since she has tacitly allowed us to visit the Wolf God, we can go directly into the mountain without asking for any introduction."

The old priest's explanation made Qianqian suddenly realize, "That's it... Then I will go and prepare the tribute to the Wolf God right away?"

"Well, go ahead and move quickly," the old priest thought for a while and then said, "Just in case, bring the drum with the human face."

"Okay, Grandpa Priest, please wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon," the girl said happily, and left in a skip.

The old priest smiled, watched the girl leave, and then turned to look in the direction of Hanyu Mountain.

It was now noon, and as the scorching sun rose, the fog in the mountains gradually dissipated, and the old man was finally able to see the entire Hanyu Mountains clearly.

The sky above the mountains, which were not considered famous mountains and rivers, was now covered by a huge swirling cloud. The black vortex cloud rotated slowly, with lightning flashes from time to time. From a distance, the black vortex cloud looked like a huge eyeball, looking down at the world indifferently.

And if you stare at this huge whirlpool cloud for a long time, you will even get a creepy feeling, making people subconsciously want to look away and not dare to look at it.

The old man knew that this was the Cloud of Tribulation and Punishment, which contained terrifying power of destruction. It was a terrifying celestial phenomenon that only appeared when the gods punished them.

However, according to the stories of the villagers in Shuisheng Village, this terrible cloud of punishment has been hanging over Hanyu Mountain all year round and will not recede...

The expression of the old priest was slightly solemn. Witnessing this huge calamity cloud in person, he became more and more convinced that the wolf god in Hanyu Mountain was no ordinary fragrant volcano god.

Its origin may be more terrifying than anyone imagined.

And the people of my own tribe will have to live under the rule of this wolf god for several years... Sigh...

The old man shook his head bitterly. Now, he can only hope that the Lord of Disaster mentioned in the Saint's prophecy is not the Hanyu Mountain God.

Otherwise, the people of my own clan may be in bad luck...
