Chapter 232 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (22)

After the huge bud bloomed, the flower became even larger, and Jiang Qiuchen looked even smaller when she stood in front of it.

In the center of the flower, a ball of fluorescent light is quietly gathering, as if it has condensed the essence of heaven and earth, and it is extremely mysterious and dazzling.

This ball of fluorescence was not light, but had some weight of its own, causing the surrounding petals, which were as thin as cicada wings, to tremble slightly.

After swinging back and forth a few times, the heavy object at the center of the flower tilted to one side and fell down along the tip of the flower.

Jiang Qiuchen was startled and stared at that place intently, with his alertness raised to the highest point.

When the heavy object fell, the branches and green leaves extending from the trunk provided a slight cushion for it, and it made no noise and rolled several times on the grass before coming to a stop.

After the object fell to the ground, the fluorescence did not dissipate immediately, and Jiang Qiuchen could not immediately determine what was hidden in it.

But judging from the posture, it is obvious that he is from a prominent background.

After a moment, the fluorescence disappeared with the wind, and the things hidden inside gradually revealed their original appearance.

Jiang Qiuchen took a few tentative steps forward, wanting to see it more clearly.

"child?!"

Before seeing clearly, Jiang Qiuchen had imagined many possibilities, but he never thought that there would be a child hidden in the flower bud!
When I first saw him, the child looked like a newborn, all wrinkled, with even his eyes stuck together.

In the blink of an eye, the child grew a little bigger, the hair on his head grew longer, and his skin became white and tender with a light pink color.

The child's growth rate is getting faster and faster, as if time is accelerated and he is changing rapidly.

The body continues to lengthen, the limbs become more flexible and powerful, the facial features become gradually distinct, revealing an innocent and cuteness.

After he turned into the appearance of a child of about seven or eight years old, he gradually stabilized, and his tightly closed eyes slowly opened, revealing a clear and bright gaze.

She was a cute little girl who was as delicate as a porcelain doll. Jiang Qiuchen's heart melted at the first sight of her.

The original fear dissipated a lot, leaving only a heart and eyes full of novelty.

It is really amazing that a living person can be born from the flower bud.

Jiang Qiuchen bent down, leaned over, and greeted the little one not far away in a soft voice. Perhaps because he was afraid of scaring her, his voice was very soft.

()Hi, how are you?

The first person the child saw when he opened his eyes was Jiang Qiuchen. Her gentle appearance and clear soul brought him good impression to a great extent.

The little girl never answered immediately. Instead, she climbed up from the grass, pulled off the petals of a flower that was in full bloom, and waved her little hand, which turned into a fitted pink dress.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Qiuchen was a little dazed. He stood there blankly, not knowing how to react.

She knew that this child was no ordinary person, but the magic he cast so effortlessly still made her eyes light up.

After changing into clothes to cover her naked body, the little girl raised her head and looked at Jiang Qiuchen again.

He asked slowly, with a calm demeanor and a sense of coolness that seemed to be detached from the mundane world.

"Who are you? Why are you on the top of Lingshan Mountain?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qiucheng felt as if she had accidentally entered someone else's house. She pulled at her clothes uncomfortably and laughed dryly. "I was originally a villager from the Stone Wall Village on the mountainside. I was chosen as a saint when I was young and taught to pray. When I turned eighteen, the villagers took me to the Xiaguang Cave as the bride of the mountain god, and wanted me to serve the mountain god."

After catching the familiar words in the conversation, the little girl's originally tense expression relaxed a little, and then she asked in confusion.

"Xiaguang Cave? You mean you came up from Xiaguang Cave?"

At this moment, Jiang Qiuchen naturally didn't dare to lie, for fear that he would get himself into unnecessary trouble if he wasn't careful.

"Yes, I did come from the Xiaguang Cave. I never lied."

The little girl stretched out her hand and waved towards the depths of the dense forest. The area originally shrouded in fog instantly dissipated, revealing a clear path down the mountain.

"No wonder. I was wondering why the restrictions I set up were clearly not broken by anyone. How could a person appear out of nowhere? It turns out that he took the path to the Xiaguang Cave."

"I also set up a lot of tricks in the Xiaguang Cave. The fact that you were able to reach the top of the sacred mountain safely shows that you have some skills and luck."

These words sounded like he was praising himself, and Jiang Qiuchen smiled a little embarrassedly.

Although the little girl in front of me is not very old and has round cheeks like a milk dumpling, the temperament she exudes makes people dare not act rashly.

Not to mention such mature ways of doing things and tone of voice, he is obviously that powerful person, but the image he displays is just slightly different.

"But what about the Mountain God's Bride you mentioned? When did Lingshan have such a ridiculous custom?!"

During the long time they had been here, everyone felt that becoming the bride of the mountain god was the highest honor. Even A Su, their best friend, was surprisingly unanimous on this matter and did not dare to disobey.

Only the little girl in front of her, like her, condemned this bad habit without hesitation.

Jiang Qiuchen's eyes became hot and his nose felt sore, and he suddenly had a place to vent all his grievances.

"Yes! I think all this is ridiculous!"

"Every hundred years, a woman of appropriate age is selected from the village and sent to the Xiaguang Cave with music and dance at the best age."

"On the surface, she is called the bride of Laozi, but in reality, she is just a sacrificial offering."

"The traces of the mountain god are mysterious. From ancient times to the present, how many people have seen him? But these poor girls have really lost their lives."

"Before me, there were dozens of girls who were not as lucky as me. They all died in the Xiaguang Cave. The bright red wedding dresses were their mourning clothes."

Hearing what Jiang Qiuchen said, the little girl's eyes revealed deep confusion.

"A bride is sent in every hundred years. Are you saying that this bad practice has been going on for thousands of years?!"

Jiang Qiuchen's eyes reddened slightly, and he nodded helplessly.

"This is so ridiculous! I just took a nap and something like this happened in Lingshan!"

"A thousand years is but a blink of an eye for me, yet I have unknowingly killed so many lives."

"Who on earth is such a busybody? He doesn't even know whether the mountain god is old or young, male or female, and yet he dares to speculate on the god's will."

"There's no work to do in the fields. Isn't it too idle?"

The furious little girl now was totally different from the image of aloof and aloof master she had been at the beginning. She became more vivid.
