I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 173 Accident
According to what Village Chief Li said, it turned out that a hundred years ago, Li Yuan, the fifth-generation patriarch, was bewitched by a big beetle around him at that time. , to achieve immortality.

At that time, after 500 years of practice, the red pheasant had turned into a dragon.

In order to accumulate good deeds, coupled with the fact that it has been enshrined in the incense of Guxun Village for hundreds of years, Chijiao has always been relatives and will never attack any villagers who go up the mountain; Most of the time, they inhabit under the rock caves in Xitan.Because of this, it unfortunately fell into the hands of Li's ancestors.

According to the records of the ancestors, when they captured the red dragonfly, they found that it was three meters long, with a head like a tiger and a voice like a cow; its neck had blue and white intertwined patterns, its chest was ocher, and its two limbs were like brocade forging. Colorful shades.

Not only that, under the body of the snake, four legs have grown, showing signs of transforming into a dragon.

As the saying goes, all things have spirits. At that time, some people in the tribe pitied the Chijiao that it was difficult for him to cultivate, and tried to persuade the patriarch to give him a way out; Peel and laparotomy.

However, in the end, they discovered that there was no legendary panacea in Chijiao's body; not only that, but this stupid approach also brought disaster to Guxun Village.

Although the physical body has died, the soul of the Chijiao has not dissipated; on the contrary, seeing that the thousand-year-old Taoism has been destroyed, and can no longer be transformed into a dragon, the resentment of the Jiaoling is hard to appease, and it turns into a ghost to make troubles, and does not want to reincarnate .

The Qingyuan Mountain, which was originally beautiful and beautiful, was affected by it, and there were many poisonous miasmas, and the wild animals in the mountain were violent; and the Yongjiang River burst its embankment and flooded overnight, destroying most of the village.For a time, Guxun Village suffered numerous casualties, and the villagers were kept in the dark, thinking that it was a punishment from the heavens.

In order to resist the flood and Jiaoling's follow-up revenge, Da Jie finally came up with a way.They found a very dark place in the mountains and dug a well.Using the yin-gathering array and the feng shui layout in the mountains, the dragon's body and spirit were trapped with chains, and they were lowered into the well.

To the outside world, patriarch Li Yuan and Da Jie lied about offering sacrifices to the river god and marrying young girls to the river god as brides; in fact, those innocent girls who were selected were pure yin bodies used to suppress Jiaoling without exception.

Increase resentment with the method of happiness and mourning, by killing young girls, using their blood as a sacrifice, seal the resentment into the water, and the soul will be trapped in Qingyuan Mountain forever, so as to fight against the ghost flood.Thanks to this method, Guxun Village gained a short period of peace.

But the seal needs to be strengthened again every once in a while, so Dagu made a rule that every 20 years, a girl will be selected in the village as a sacrifice.

And the shrine set up outside the village not only formed a gathering array, but also formed a barrier to protect the village, so that the souls of those girls who had their eyes gouged out and their tongues cut out were forever lost in the deep mountains, unable to find their way home. road.

"Old man, you've deserved death." Lin Yuanqi frowned in disgust after hearing this.

"A few days ago, did you capture a girl named Li Ying and use her to sacrifice to the ghost dragon?" Ling Yun asked the other party.

Village head Li readily admitted this. After all, Li Ying is the only sacrifice in the village that meets the requirements.Seeing that the 20-year sacrificial day was imminent, he knew that Li Ying was a filial girl, so he deceived Li Ying by taking medicine while the old man was dying.

After Li Ying came to the door, he and several other clan members tied him up, changed his clothes overnight, and took him to Qingyuan Mountain.

Li Ying's parents died early, and no one in the family knew about it except her seriously ill mother-in-law.When all the dust settled, I would explain to the villagers that everything was voluntary by Li Ying.The village chief thought that his plan was foolproof, but who knows, it was just this time that he made a big mistake.

Li Ying has a childhood sweetheart named Zhou Guang. The two grew up together since childhood and have a very good relationship.Zhou Guang's father was killed by a wild animal when he went hunting in the mountains when he was eight years old; since then, the child has lived alone.Li Ying's family is kind-hearted. When her parents were alive and her mother-in-law was in good health, they took good care of each other.

Zhou Guang is three years younger than Li Ying. Li Ying has always regarded him as a younger brother and would sew clothes for him on weekdays. Although Zhou Guang loves Li Ying in his heart, he also knows that his family is poor and cannot give her anything better. Therefore, they have always been called siblings, hiding this love in the bottom of their hearts.

On the day Li Ying disappeared, Zhou Guang noticed something was wrong.After inquiring about Li Ying's whereabouts from nearby villagers who had witnessed Li Ying's figure, he followed him up Qingyuan Mountain.

On weekdays, in order to earn some living expenses, Zhou Guang often goes up the mountain alone to hunt and collect herbs; therefore, he is already familiar with the topography of Qingyuan Mountain.After entering the mountain, Zhou Guang soon discovered the traces left by the village head and his party.Following the footprints left by the other party, Zhou Guang finally found the vicinity of the ruined temple before midnight.

At that time, the village head and his party were about to torture Li Ying who had just woken up from a coma. At the critical moment, Zhou Guang rushed out with an axe. In order to save Li Ying, he slashed and wounded several clan members like crazy.Everyone fought together, and the situation fell into chaos for a while.

Hearing this, Ling Yun immediately thought that when he and his companions first visited the village head's house in Zhoumu, the clan members around him were indeed suffering from many injuries.It turns out that behind these injuries, there is such a truth hidden.

The boy named Zhou Guang mentioned by the village head should be the "Ah Guang" that Li Ying's mother-in-law called before.

Village head Li told everyone that he never thought that Zhou Guang would have the courage to rush out to destroy the sacrifice.In desperation, he had to threaten Li Ying's life to make the other party stop.

He promised Zhou Guang that he would not hurt Li Ying again, and even pretended to untie Li Ying.But when Zhou Guang dropped his weapon, Village Chief Li ordered someone to break his hands and feet, and then beat Zhou Guang continuously in front of Li Ying, without any intention of leaving him alive.

Li Ying's begging was fruitless, and when she was heartbroken, she jumped down the well when everyone was unprepared.

Realizing that the sacrifice was missing a key link, but no one dared to go down the well; village head Li, with a fluke mentality, had someone block the mouth of the well to ensure that the sacrifice must be completed. He was beaten to death by the well.

Afterwards, they used an extra box to pack Zhou Guang's body and buried him in the locust forest; as for Li Ying's body, they brought it back to the village according to the usual practice, and accepted the villagers' worship as usual.

Village head Li has organized this kind of ceremony three times. There has never been any accident before, and the ghost dragon was suppressed very well; but only this year, after Li Ying's body was brought back to the village, the village began to frequently Strange things happened.

　Please take a leave of absence and go to the hospital tomorrow. The braces I've been wearing for a year are finally about to run out!The lady doctor said that there are still two or three months at most. When I think that I will be relieved, I cry bitterly...
