Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 238 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (28)

After these words were spoken, Jiang Qiuchen immediately clapped his hands, and loud applause rang out in the open space.

After a brief silence in the village, the villagers belatedly started clapping, with joy on their faces.

They also have children at home, so naturally they don't want their children to follow this path.

The original purpose of selecting the mountain god's bride was to gain the mountain god's protection.

Now that the mountain god is standing in front of everyone and has explained the matter clearly, there is naturally no need to waste any more effort.

"Since I was born in this world and possess abilities that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, I naturally have to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities."

"I hope you all know that guarding Lingshan and protecting your safety is my duty. You don't need to pay any additional offerings."

"If there is anything, it is only one thing. I hope everyone can work together to protect Lingshan and guard Lingshan, and not let this pure land be destroyed by the hands of greedy people."

Yaohua's voice was childish, but what she said made people admire her. Everyone was moved and their respect for her increased a little more.

The high priest folded his hands on his cane and said with emotion.

"I thought that choosing a bride would please the mountain god and protect everyone's safety, but I didn't expect that this was a waste of effort and caused many problems."

"I have lived for most of my life. In the past, I have always been guarding the things left by my predecessors. I have lived in fear and trembling, not daring to overstep the boundaries or make any mistakes."

"Now it seems that what I have been adhering to may not be right. I should still explore more about everything."

After saying this, the high priest relaxed all over, and the string that had been taut suddenly broke.

Looking at her lost look, A Su, who was standing beside her, had a complicated expression. She pursed her lips and finally said nothing.

"Now that I understand this matter, there is no need for me to stay here. I just woke up and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with."

"If you encounter any problems that you cannot solve in the future, please go to the mountain temple and tell me. As long as I can intervene, I will definitely help you solve it."

"But I hope everyone can understand that this is a mountain temple, not a wishing well."

"If there are those greedy and delusional people who always come to me every day to nag about nothing, I don't mind giving them a little punishment to make them remember their lesson!"

After using both kindness and force, the villagers all responded respectfully and did not dare to raise any objections.

Yaohua took Jiang Qiuchen's hand and said her final goodbye.

"I know you'll be going down the mountain soon, so I won't see you off. I'll wait for you to come back next time and we can play together again."

"I am already familiar with your aura. As long as you step into the sacred mountain again, I will be able to sense it, and then I will come to pick you up in person."

"I hope everything goes well for you while you are away, have a pleasant journey, and come back soon."

Jiang Qiuchen was moved after hearing these words. He took Yaohua's hand and shook it gently left and right to indicate that he understood.

"Hehe, next time I come back, I won't be like this kid anymore."

"Once I have reinforced the formation, I will go out with you. I will go ahead!"

The echo of farewell echoed all around, and Yaohua's figure turned into a white light and disappeared into the sky.

Jiang Qiuchen waved towards the sky, which was considered a farewell.

A Su stood beside the high priest and looked anxiously in the direction of Jiang Qiuchen several times.

As if he could see what she was thinking, the high priest turned and spoke to the villagers.

"The mountain god has returned to Lingshan. There is no need for everyone to stay here any longer. Let's go back." "There will be no more bride elections in the future, but the blessing ceremony on the 16th of every month will still be carried out as usual."

After receiving the arrangement from the high priest, everyone decided not to stay any longer and left in groups.

"A Su, go ahead and say whatever you want to say."

After getting the permission from the high priest, A Su trotted forward excitedly and held Jiang Qiuchen's hand.

"Acheng! You're really back!"

"You know what? When I first saw you just now, I thought I was dreaming!"

"Tell me quickly, how did you escape?"

Although only one day had passed, when Jiang Qiuchen saw A Su again, he actually felt as if he was in another world.

She shook A Su's hand affectionately and confided her experiences of the past two days to this one of her few friends.

"I was indeed sent into the Xiaguang Cave by the high priest and others. Before she left, she told me that there was a way out here, just as you told me at the beginning."

"But just knowing this information doesn't bring me any substantial help. I spent quite a while groping in the Xiaguang Cave."

A Su didn't expect that the news he overheard by accident was actually true, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

But this information couldn't help Jiang Qiuchen, which made her feel a little frustrated.

"I found many corpses inside. They are the brides of the mountain gods over the years. They were all buried in the Xiaguang Cave, and none of them escaped."

When talking about this incident, Jiang Qiuchen still feels very sad.

"There is also a long tunnel inside the Xiaguang Cave with many branches. If you are not careful, you will get lost."

"Then how did you find the way to escape?!"

Seeing Jiang Qiucheng's low mood, A Su hurriedly asked a question in an attempt to distract her attention.

"I disassembled the wedding dress from the corpse and connected it into a rope. I tied one end around my waist and the other end to the vines at the entrance of the tunnel to ensure the approximate direction."

"The rest is so mysterious that even I am surprised when I tell you about it."

"The mountain god has set up many tricks to deceive people. Under the effect of these tricks, the so-called way out is almost non-existent."

"A thousand words can be summed up in one sentence: It was not easy for me to escape."

Jiang Qiuchen wailed and threw himself into A Su's arms for comfort.

"Speaking of the mountain god, how did you get to know her? I'm afraid there are more dangers here, right?"

"I'm afraid there are not many people in this world who have had such an adventure except you."

Jiang Qiuchen listened to A Su's questions while pulling her towards his stilt house, responding as they walked.

"After I escaped from the Xiaguang Cave, I broke through the barrier set by the mountain god and arrived at the top of the sacred mountain."

"It just happened to be the time when the mountain god woke up after training. As the saying goes, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."

"When I first saw the mountain god, I was also frightened, but I have a good ability to accept it, so I quickly adapted to it."

……

Jiang Qiuchen talked on and on, and A Su listened quietly, as the two of them got closer and closer to the stilt house deep in the ground.
