Being favored by evil gods, I became sick and weak and became the Bone Bodhisattva.

'No wonder Mr. Turtle rarely shows up'

Tangtang thought so, and felt that even if an eagle caught Mr. Turtle, it would not be the most powerful eagle in the world.

After all, there really is a condor on the grassland now.

The little girl told the story about the prairie condor, and the eagle suddenly became anxious.

It jumped up from the branches and flew quickly to find the condor to compete with.

"..."

As soon as the eagle flew away, several big bubbles appeared in the water.

Then, Tangtang saw a huge turtle crawling out, two times bigger than her own head.

"Are you Mr. Turtle who has witnessed the history of the mountain?"

Mr. Oogway confirmed the little girl's guess and expressed his most sincere thanks to her.

Once the news about the Prairie Condor spreads among the eagles, it and all the turtles on this mountain will finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

.......

"Mr. Wugui, do you think the villagers in the mountain village can still be forgiven by the mountain?"

After hearing this, Mr. Oogway told Tangtang a story from the past.

The mountains have spirits, but a long time ago, this was also a barren mountain.

It was the ancestors of the villagers in Kaoshan Village who went up to the mountains to plant trees every day, and the barren hills gradually regained their vitality.

Thanks to everyone’s efforts, Dashan has always taken great care of the village.

This kind of care lasted until the villagers burned the mountain to waste. Dashan felt that this behavior was not only ungrateful, but also betrayed the efforts of their ancestors.

"Well, is it still useful for Tangtang to ask everyone to plant trees on the mountain?" the little girl asked after thinking for a while.

Mr. Oogway felt that it was useless. The mountain was already extremely angry. If he just planted trees, it was unlikely that he would forgive the villagers.

"Is there any better way to express my apology than planting a tree?"

Mr. Turtle is indeed a wise turtle. He reminds the little girl that she can lead the villagers to the mountain to offer sacrifices.

However, the sacrifice must be chosen well. Only good sacrifices can extinguish the anger of the mountain.

"What kind of sacrifice is better?"

Tangtang asked, but Mr. Oogway miraculously put on a smile without saying a word.

Although she did not answer her last question, the little girl still solemnly expressed her gratitude to it.

"Tangtang comes down the mountain to discuss with everyone. Goodbye!"

The little girl went down the mountain and when she arrived at the mountain village, she was immediately warmly welcomed by the villagers.

"Wow, everyone is so enthusiastic."

Tangtang looked at the two leading monks, and Jing Er quickly gave an explanation.

"Long-eared Arhat, Skinny King Kong, and Protector Tangtang came down from heaven to help them. Can you give them a warm welcome?"

.......

Unexpectedly, Jing'er has the potential to be a magic stick, but the villagers in the backing village still accept this trick.

"Tangtang, what did you gain from going up the mountain before?" Jing Jie looked at the little girl and asked.

"kindness!"

After Tangtang told everyone what happened after she went up the mountain, two villagers immediately collapsed on the ground in fear.

The little girl was wondering, but other villagers were already clamoring to sacrifice these two guys to the mountain.

"They were the ones who came up with the bad idea to open up fields."

"The sacrifices the turtle mentioned must be referring to them, tie them up on the mountain!"

Tangtang didn't understand what Mr. Oogway meant by smiling without saying a word, but how could the villagers in the backing village not understand?

Don't you just have to sacrifice the culprit? As long as you can get the forgiveness of the mountain, this sacrifice is insignificant.

"You, you all agreed in the first place!"

"You can't put all the blame on us. Are you pretending to be innocent now?"

The attitude of the people around them angered the two people who were lying on the ground. They immediately jumped up and argued loudly.

"No, no, human sacrifice won't work. Let's think of another way."

After the little girl's strong dissuasion, the villagers finally suppressed the plan of human sacrifice for the time being.

"First, worship the ancestors and express gratitude for their hard work in the past; then worship the mountain and express gratitude to it for feeding the village."

Jing Er pondered and said: "We can also set up a 'no fire day'. On this day, every household in Kaoshan Village cannot light a fire to express repentance. What do you think?"

"Very good, but what are the sacrifices for?" Jing Jie pointed out the most critical question.

Chapter 226 The Gift of the Mountain

Human sacrifice is cruel, but it is simple, convenient and easy to use.

After Tangtang and his party first eliminated the option of human sacrifice, it was really hard to find a suitable sacrifice.

"Are there any valuables left in the village?" Jing'er asked the villagers.

The answer is no. In remote areas, broken tiles can only be hung at the door to pray to the God of Wind. Where are the valuables?

"What about something particularly memorable?"

Jing Jie gave an example: "For example, the villagers in Kaoshan Village used hoes to plant trees on the mountain."

This one does exist and can be used as a sacrificial tool.

"Tangtang feels that the sacrifice should show gratitude to the mountain."

"Not bad!" Jing Er immediately agreed.

Human sacrifice can strongly express the regret of the villagers. Now that it is abandoned, it is better to change the idea and strongly express everyone's gratitude to the mountain.

Encouraged by Jing Er, the little girl continued: "It is the mountains that fill the bellies of the people here. We might as well use the food we get from the mountains as sacrifices. This is the best way to express our gratitude."

Great idea!

Jing Jie and Jing Er nodded repeatedly, and the surrounding villagers also agreed.

Although I haven’t gone up the mountain for a long time, everyone still has some dried bamboo shoots, dried wild vegetables, dried mushrooms and the like at home.

After the villagers gathered the ingredients on a table, Tangtang and Jing'er cast inquiring glances at Jing Jie.

Jing Jie thought carefully and suddenly asked the villagers: "Are there any larger leaves on the mountain?"

After getting a positive answer, Jing Jie asked Tangtang to go up the mountain to pick some big leaves and some twigs.

"Junior brother, you want to make rice dumplings?" Jing'er quickly understood his plan.

"Yes, the fillings are millet and various mountain products harvested by the villagers on the barren land. The rice dumpling leaves are made from the leaves of big trees on the mountain, and the rice dumpling rope is also twisted from the twigs picked up from the mountain. In this way [mountain rice dumplings] 】To express everyone's gratitude, I think there is nothing better."

After Jing Jie revealed the plan he had racked his brains to come up with, the people around him immediately cheered loudly.

....................

At night, Jing Jie led everyone to enthusiastically make rice dumplings, while Jing Er began the rehearsal for tomorrow's sacrifice.

As for Tangtang, she really wanted to make rice dumplings with the villagers, but unfortunately today was the end of the month, so she was destined to spend it in bed.

Early the next morning, after visiting the little girl, Jing'er and Jing Jie led the villagers to prepare for mountain climbing to offer sacrifices.

Whoa, whoa—

The wind suddenly became stronger, and a small tornado could be seen from a distance blowing towards the mountain village.

Jing Xing arrived by chance, and he actually represented another option, which was to use the power of the upgraded person to forcibly burn the mountains and wastelands.

But for one thing, everyone already has a choice, and for another...

The mountain next to the backing village is really extraordinary. Whether Jing Xing can suppress it by himself is still unknown.

"Preparing for Sacrifice"

"believe us!"

The two brothers shouted loudly towards Jing Xing, and a sentence floated out from the center of the small tornado.

Before the three of them could talk about old times, Jing Xing had no choice but to run away.

When his second senior brother passed by, Jing Jie vaguely saw a unique rope tied around his waist.

Well, the rope looks like a snake.

'...'

'Since it's worn like a belt, it shouldn't be able to make a difference. '

Thinking of this, Jing Jie couldn't help but feel relieved.

Unable to change direction easily, Iyuki ran straight up the mountain.

Originally he was planning to set fire to it, but after the persuasion of his junior brothers, the promoted person just passed by the mountain like a strong wind.

"Should we wait until tomorrow to perform the sacrifice?" Jing Jie looked at Jing Er uncertainly and asked.

"No, just now! Let's make things clear while it's still relatively confusing, otherwise misunderstandings may easily occur."

...................

Jing Xing came by chance, but the timing was really not very good.

His running up the mountain objectively made the villagers' sacrifice a lot more difficult.

The dull sound echoed in the mountains, like a roar.

Although this was not the first time they heard such a sound, the villagers were still so frightened that their limbs became weak and they all collapsed on the ground unable to get up.

"The person who just happened to be passing by here was definitely not a demonstration!"

"He has passed by Kaoshan Village several times, and this time he was just passing by."

Jing Er and Jing Jie explained loudly, but unfortunately Dashan was still angry and seemed not to understand what they said.

Soon, not only was it roaring, but the entire mountain began to vibrate slightly.

Just when the two monks were extremely anxious, a big turtle appeared in front of them.

It looked at everyone with eyes full of wisdom for a moment, and then communicated with the mountain.

To paraphrase Jing Er and Jing Jie's explanation, the strong human being just happened to be passing by.

Anyway, he has passed by more than once, so there is no need to be too sensitive.

As for these villagers, they should have come to admit their mistakes and prepared some good-looking sacrifices.

Why not take a look at their sincerity first?

After all, I even brought the hoe I used to plant trees, so I had to give it a chance.

Under Mr. Oogway's persuasion, the mountain finally calmed down.

"Thank you, thank you. People in this village will never eat turtles again!"

"Grateful"

As Jing Er and Jing Jie thanked each other one after another, Mr. Oogway walked away slowly.

Going up the mountain in the early morning, everyone rested until noon before starting the sacrifice again.

There was nothing I could do, my legs were so weak that I couldn't walk. It took me a whole morning to regain my strength.

In fact, after personally experiencing the horror of the mountains, many people have already given up.

If it weren't for Jing'er and Jingjie to take both hard and soft measures, everyone might not be able to muster the courage to continue climbing.

"Cheer up! Junior brother and I can only help you this time."

"This sacrifice ultimately depends on you. Look at the hoes in your hands, think about the relatives in the village who are still waiting for your good news, and show some courage!"
