I asked you to tell fortunes live, are you trying to snatch people from the King of Hell?

Chapter 265 Blood Contract

Su Chen: "Uncle, can we walk around the village?"

"Look if you want. There's nothing special about this shabby place anyway."

The uncle suddenly seemed to remember something and reminded, "Oh, by the way, there is a shrine at the east end of the village. You can't go in. It is a forbidden area of ​​the village and outsiders are not allowed to visit!"

Su Chen thanked the uncle and took Xu Nian for a walk in the village. Soon they went straight to the shrine at the east end of the village that the uncle mentioned.

He had only heard of temples and Taoist temples, but this was the first time he heard of one that enshrined the heirs of gods. Of course, he didn't go to the shrine to be eccentric, but he did it because he wanted to do things that others didn't allow him to do.

Instead, Su Chen discovered that the vitality of the village showed signs of converging towards the shrine, and this sign became more and more obvious as they got closer to the shrine.

Could it be that he has some evil spirit or something? He can't be so bold, right?
Both of them were young men with long legs and fast feet, so they arrived at the shrine quickly.

Xu Nian looked up at the ancestral hall in front of him and said, "This small mountain village looks ordinary, but I didn't expect the ancestral hall to be so beautifully built."

Although Tengyun Village is backward and dilapidated, the shrine was carefully built with carved beams and painted rafters and exquisite craftsmanship.

Although the wood is a little old after years of wind and rain, you can still see how magnificent it was originally built.

There was an old man sitting outside the shrine guarding the gate. Upon hearing this, he said, "Yes, this was built many years ago. At that time, the village was rich and prosperous, not like now..."

Comparing the past and the present, the old man shook his head and sighed, and his tone became lonely.

Su Chen looked at the other person curiously. This man was a real old man, over seventy years old.

It is not uncommon for old people to live to the age of seventy outside, but in Tengyun Village, where few people live beyond fifty, it is particularly rare.

There are some things about this old man that are different from other villagers.

And the so-called shrine behind it had a certain weirdness to it, especially near midnight, when it became even more wrong.

Apparently Xu Nian had the same feeling as him, and he frowned as he looked at the shrine.

Su Chen asked politely, "Uncle, we are from the city and have never seen what a rural shrine looks like. Can you let us in to have a look?"

"No, no, you are not from this village, you can't look at it, and there is nothing good to see inside, so leave now!"

It would have been better if Su Chen hadn't said this. The old man seemed to be reminded of something and his expression became nervous, and he hurriedly drove people away.

"Go! Go quickly! This is not the place for you to stay!" the old man said as he pushed the two people out.

Suddenly, a strange noise was heard in the shrine.

The old man became even more nervous, and pushed Su Chen and Xu Nian out with all his strength, saying in a hurried tone, "Hurry up, hurry up, if you walk too slowly you won't be able to leave!"

"Boom!"

There was a loud thunder in the sky out of nowhere!
Suddenly a cold voice was heard.

"Hehehe, Er Gouzi, you are my divine servant. I have promised you a long life, you should be grateful to me. How dare you betray your master? Do you know your sin?"

The old man's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, trembling. "True God, they are just ordinary people passing by, not villagers of this village. Please have mercy on them and let them live."

The voice laughed sinisterly, "That's even better. I haven't tasted a living person for a long time. I'm craving it!" "God, things are different now. If an outsider gets into trouble in our village, the police will be called..."

"Police? Do you think I'm afraid?"

"The true God is omnipotent, so we are not afraid of him, but it is always better to be cautious. Isn't it because of this that we have been able to live in peace for so many years?"

"Be careful, be careful! I am too cautious, so I have wasted so much time practicing! I have no patience anymore!"

The sound suddenly became crazy, and the next moment, a strong wind came.

Xu Nian took out the magic weapon from his backpack and silently grasped it, standing on guard. He pointed it at the air and shouted loudly: "Demon, show yourself quickly!"

As soon as evil appears, he rushes forward immediately.

Instead of being annoyed, the voice sounded even more excited.

"You are actually a Heavenly Master. God is really helping me. My cultivation has not improved for a long time. You came at the right time. Once I refine and absorb your vitality, my cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds."

The next moment, Su Chen clearly felt a powerful aura rushing towards them.

The wind was strange and carried an evil aura, but also the power of faith in the righteous path. Xu Nian simply used his magic weapon to block it.

The evil spirit gained the faith of the people, and over time, even if it was fake, it developed some divine power.

It seems that this evil god is quite powerful.

Su Chen didn't know how good Xu Nian's Taoism was. He saw that he was fighting the evil god purely based on instinct and it was a bit strenuous for him to do so.

However, no matter how hard it was, it was obvious that Xu Nian gradually found his own rhythm in the confrontation and began to adapt to the battle.

For him, this is a good training opportunity.

Su Chen smiled, helped the old man who was still slumped on the ground to the side, and found out what was going on.

The old man opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He kept muttering in a hurry, as he was under a silencing spell.

Su Chen directly broke the silencing spell, and the old man was able to make a sound.

There is actually someone who can break the magic of the true God!
The old man was shocked but also felt a glimmer of hope. It seemed that the young man in front of him might be the chance for their village to change its destiny, so he answered whatever Su Chen asked, truly telling him everything he knew.

Sixty years ago, a serious natural disaster struck Tengyun Village, leaving the fields barren and the people in dire straits.

Just when the villagers of Tengyun Village were having trouble making ends meet, a deity who claimed to be the true God suddenly appeared and said that as long as the villagers offered him sacrifices sincerely, he would protect the villagers so that they would have enough food and clothing and would no longer suffer from hunger.

“…At that time, I was still young and didn’t understand many things. I only knew that after the village worshipped this true god, the situation in the village did start to improve. Other villages were still poor and hungry, but our village was
The harvest in the fields is good, hunting in the mountains always yields a lot of prey, and villagers can always make money when they go out to do business...
Everything in the village was getting better and better, the villagers were getting richer, and everyone worshipped the true God even more, offering the best food. A few years later, I was chosen as a servant of God, and was responsible for serving the true God.

The only regret is that the villagers seem to have a short lifespan. In the first few years, no one took it seriously. After all, the living conditions were poor at that time and the lifespan of the people was not very long. Later, the situation became more and more serious, and the number of short-lived people increased. Everyone began to talk about it, but it didn't take long before the villagers who raised questions died one after another, and no one dared to mention it anymore. Now no one in the village knows about it.

It was then that I learned that our ancestors had made a blood pact with the true god. The true god protected the villagers from hunger and cold, and the villagers gave their lives in return. At that time, Tengyun Village had reached a desperate point. Let alone life, even if they were asked to exchange their lives, the ancestors would agree, otherwise they would starve to death. "
