Chapter 240 Letter from Chaomu Village

August 6, early morning.

When the sun shone its first rays, the big trees in every courtyard of Jinxiu Village turned into human shapes.

Kong Quelan was surprised and asked, "Master, are all the people in this village transformed from trees?"

Luo Mingyue said: "It shouldn't be. I guess there is some special reason that causes the little people to turn into trees at night and return to normal during the day."

At present, Kong Han is guarding Mojia Village, Song Lu is keeping an eye on Tianliu Village, Ye Keke is protecting Hulu Town, and Kong Ziyun is taking care of Baishan Village.

Only Kong Que Lan and Xiao Han Su were left unallocated.

Xiao Hansu is just a child, and we can't expect her to take care of the Dwarf Village.

Therefore, Kong Quelan stood beside Luo Mingyue and stayed with her near Jinxiu Village.

The villagers got up and were washing up when they received a notice from the village chief, requiring each household to send a representative to gather together for a "meeting."

The meeting place was in an exceptionally spacious courtyard, large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

The villagers don't have so many rules and regulations. There are no benches in the yard. Some people stand, some sit on the ground, and some bring their own cushions or small benches.

There was also a person squatting on the ground, holding a large pancake in his hand and eating it.

The village chief is a twenty-year-old young man.

He has an ordinary appearance, the type that you can't find in a crowd, but he is extremely tall and strong, with bulging muscles, which is very oppressive.

Not only him, there were dozens of muscular men in the crowd. They were generally over ten centimeters tall and had strong bodies.

Kong Quelan couldn't help but gasp, "Wow, these guys are so strong..."

Song Lu came over to take a look, frowned and said, "The muscles of these people are too exaggerated. I feel that Liu Dashi and others have just the right body shape, strong and handsome, while the little people in this new village look a little scary..."

"What does it look like?" Ye Keke was very curious. She ran over to take a look and said, "I think it's pretty good. They have so many muscles, they must have abdominal muscles. It's a pity that they are covered by their clothes and can't be seen."

Kong Han heard this, walked over and said, "I have abdominal muscles, you can look at mine."

Ye Keke turned her head and looked at him for a few seconds.

Just when Kong Han was reflecting on whether he had said something wrong, Ye Keke touched him directly through his clothes.

"It feels good."

Kong Han blushed, and walked back to the sky above Mojia Village with his hands and feet together, with a silly smile on his face.

Ye Keke looked at Jinxiu Village a few more times outside the cardboard box, then turned around and returned to her original position. In her opinion, the little people she personally protected were the cutest.

Since there are no insects at night recently, Ye Keke would secretly feed those little people who can see her at night, such as the [Prophet] Fang Yurong, Zhao Bao, and the fifteen-year-old boy Jiang Ang who used to be a [Disaster-Responding Insect], etc.

Kong Ziyun has a gentle personality and she is chatting with the little people in Baishan Village.

Someone asked: "Does the God not want us anymore?"

Kong Ziyun said: "No, she has been busy recently, but she is still thinking about you in her heart. She prepares three meals a day for you."

Xu Yintong raised her head, her silver-white pupils flowing with pure and bright light. She said, "I know where the Lord God has gone."

"Hmm?" Kong Ziyun smiled slightly. She felt that Xu Yintong was lying, but she still asked patiently, "Where?"

The villagers also turned their attention.

Xu Yintong said: "The Goddess has countless believers and enjoys endless incense. She is kind and great, and her eyes will not only stay on us. Now that our village has been redeemed and life is stable, the Goddess will go to save more people and let the light of divinity spread to every corner of the world, dispelling pain and darkness. She will reach every suffering person in need of help and grant them physical and spiritual peace and happiness."

Kong Ziyun was stunned. She didn't expect to hear this answer.

From a certain perspective, what Xu Yintong said was not wrong? Because Luo Mingyue did go to take care of the new village...

The villagers sighed and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of that? The Goddess is so great, how could she only look after us? She will definitely save more people."

"Yes, we are so lucky to have her favor."

"God is so kind."

The villagers were so excited that they bowed down to the statue of the god.

Kong Ziyun: “…”

Xu Yintong continued, "It is our honor for the Lord God to come to see us. When the Lord God does not come, we should not feel dissatisfied. We should always maintain a pious heart and be grateful. We should make our faith pure and firm. Only then can we fly to the kingdom of God after death and serve the gods..."

Xu Yintong had said similar things before, but it was the first time Kong Ziyu heard such remarks. A look of confusion appeared in her eyes, her mouth slightly open, and she stared at Xu Yintong blankly.

Xu Yintong was fooling people... No, she might be gifted in preaching. At this moment, she had already started to lead the villagers in shouting slogans:

“Thank God, praise God!”

The villagers were very enthusiastic and shouted extremely loudly.

“Thank God, praise God!”

"The glory of God lasts forever, shining on the world for thousands of years!"

Extreme fanaticism will create a special atmosphere, making people around you also get excited and immersed in it.

The little people in Baishan Village were rescued from despair, so their faith is particularly sincere, but the caravan members led by Xiao Fen and Lan Yueji did not come here because they were desperate. They accepted the benefits from the gods and developed faith in their hearts, but this faith is relatively shallow, at the stage of "whoever is good to me, I will believe in him." But now, the caravan members were infected by the atmosphere, and they shouted louder than the villagers.

When everyone calmed down a little, Xu Yintong continued, "We have enjoyed the rewards and preferential treatment from the Lord God, so we should protect her dignity and glory. Even death cannot make us surrender, because death is never the end of life for us, but a test on the way to the Kingdom of God..."

An excited villager yelled, "That's right, as long as the God gives the order, I will do whatever she tells me to do!" "Me too!"

The villagers were so excited that they rolled up their sleeves and were eager to serve the God.

At this time, a member of the caravan asked weakly: "What is the Kingdom of God?"

Xu Yintong said: "The Kingdom of God is the country where the Lord God and his believers live. There are warm and beautiful houses, luxurious clothes and endless food. In the Kingdom of God, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, nor do we have to worry about separation from life and death. Each of us can have a long life and can reunite with our deceased relatives and friends in the Kingdom of God, without worries, in peace and joy..."

Kong Ziyun was completely stunned. To be honest, after listening to Xu Yintong's words, she began to yearn for the so-called kingdom of God...

Kong Ziyu couldn't help but look at Luo Mingyue.

Luo Mingyue felt her gaze and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Kong Ziyun shook his head, "No, no problem."

Luo Mingyue asked: "Then why do you look at me in such a strange way?"

Kong Ziyun said with a complicated expression: "I... just suddenly admire the master very much, and feel that the master's followers are very powerful... That little girl named Xu Yintong is very talented and very good at inciting..."

I wanted to say "incite people's hearts", but then I remembered that this word is derogatory, so I changed my words and said: "Xu Yintong is very good at rallying people's hearts. The villagers and the people in the caravan are like chicken blood, full of energy..."

Luo Mingyue asked: "What did she do? Did she brainwash everyone again?"

Kong Ziyun nodded, "Yes."

Luo Mingyue held her forehead and said, "I've seen it before. Let her be. Fortunately, Xu Yintong's awakened bloodline is the [Prophet], not the [Witch]."

Kong Ziyun said: "Why do you say that? I feel that Xu Yintong is the most suitable to be a [Witch]..."

Luo Mingyue said: "Because [Witches] are naturally friendly and can make people let down their guard. Xu Yintong is eloquent and has a pair of pure silver eyes. If she has the sacred aura of [Witches], I feel that the people of the entire Lilliput Country will be fooled by her and become my believers."

Kong Ziyun said: "How can this be considered a scam? I feel that what Xu Yintong said makes sense..."

Luo Mingyue was speechless and had no time to chat with Kong Ziyu. She looked at Jinxiu Village below and began to listen to the villagers' conversations.

The young village chief said in a heavy tone: "I have some bad news to tell you all. When I woke up this morning, I found a letter on the table. The letter was left by people from Chaomu Village next door. They said that the two brothers from the Wu family in our village have been detained by them. If you want to redeem the two brothers, you must offer fifty young girls..."

"Shameless! It's absolutely shameless!"

"Chaomu Village is damned. They asked us to offer fifty young girls... Bah! Even if I die, I will never give my daughter away!"

"The Chaomu Village has done a lot of immoral things. I heard that they think girls are worthless and will try to kill any daughters they give birth to. Now, most of the men in the village can't find wives, so they have started to think of evil ideas..."

"What should we do? There are only two [Yuanshui] in the village, and they are the two brothers of the Wu family. Some time ago, the brothers received a letter from home, saying that they were going to pick up their aunt and cousin, so they went out together. We also specially sent a dozen strong men to follow them to ensure the safety of the two brothers of the Wu family... Who would have thought that they would still get into trouble?"

The villagers said one after another, "We advised them not to go out, but they wouldn't listen and insisted on going to pick them up in person. Now look what happened, they can't come back!"

"The Chaomu Village is just a bunch of grandsons!"

Through the villagers' words, Luo Mingyue learned that most of the villagers in Jinxiu Village had awakened the [Saint Forest] bloodline.

Although [Shengsen] is powerful and can allow the villagers to live a wealthy life, in this world, the more powerful the awakened person is, the more obvious their weaknesses are. Although many villagers are big and strong and have so much muscle on their bodies, their limitations are also obvious... They must drink a lot of water to become extremely powerful. If they don’t have water to drink, they will become extremely weak. If the wind on the road is strong, they will fall down.

In addition, every one to five days, the awakened ones of the [Holy Forest] will transform into big trees at night and lose their ability to move.

Everyone's situation is different. The village chief turns into a big tree only once every five days. The rest of the people turn into trees at night about once every one or two days. Some are particularly unlucky and turn into big trees every night.

While transforming into a tree, you cannot move or speak and can only be slaughtered by others.

There is a severe drought in the world, but fortunately there are two [Yuanshui] in the village who can provide everyone with sufficient water resources, allowing the [Shengsen] to live a normal life.

But now, [Yuanshui] has been detained by the people of Chaomu Village next door, and the remaining water in the village is only enough for drinking for three days.

"In my opinion, we should drink all the water now, grab our weapons, and go fight the people from Chaomu Village!"

"Yes, we are all human beings, that's why we are not threatened by them."

"But what about the Wu brothers? They have provided us with water for two or three years. They are our benefactors. Are we going to abandon them?"

"Yes, we can't repay kindness with enmity..."

"But you can't sacrifice fifty young girls, right? It would be better if I were to sacrifice myself."

"You're dreaming. Why should it be you? Chaomu Village is in need of women to give birth to their children. Can you give birth?"

"I can't have children, but I am [Shengsen], and I can extend their lifespan..."

The villagers discussed countermeasures.

Some villagers also raised questions, "Village head, how did Chaomu Village put the letter on your desk?"

"At night we transform into trees, losing our vision, sense of smell and ability to speak, but we still have hearing, and our hearing is even sharper than when we were human. We can detect no one's footsteps, but I didn't hear anyone going to the village chief's house last night."

Luo Mingyue had the same doubts, because she had been watching the village last night and saw the young man in blue leading a team to break into the village to kill people, but this group of people were basically smashed to death by Luo Mingyue, and only a fat man escaped. No one entered the village to deliver the letter, so where did the letter come from?

Another villager said: "Now that you've said that, I suddenly realized another problem. Before, the Wu brothers said they received a letter from their relatives and insisted on going to pick them up... At that time, our attention was focused on how to persuade them to stay. When persuasion failed, we sent someone to accompany them, but no one investigated where the letter came from?"

"I also feel something is wrong. When the two brothers wandered into our village, their parents and elders were all dead. The brothers were only seven or eight years old at the time and had not yet awakened their bloodline abilities. They were just ordinary people. The elders in our village felt sorry for them and kindly adopted them. The brothers have lived in the village for so many years and have never left. They have also had little contact with the outside world. So where did their aunt and cousin come from? How could they send the letter so accurately after so many years?"

"Hearing you say that, I suddenly remembered a bloodline ability called [Fraud]. This type of awakened person is very difficult to deal with. The letter written by the [Fraudster] can make people believe unconditionally and be deceived by him involuntarily..."

"Moreover, [Fraudsters] do not need to be there in person to deliver the letter. They only need to possess a person's hair, nails, or personal belongings to deliver the envelope to that person."

"Perhaps, there is no aunt or cousin at all. Everything is the work of the [Trickster], who wants to trick the Wu brothers out of the village and make us lose the water source. In this way, we will soon become weak..."
