Together With My Ghost Husband - Chapter 128
After listening to Shu Hun’s words, both Yun qiongjun and Gu Sen are puzzled. These two groups hold their own opinions. Who is the truth? Or are they all hiding something else?
The two looked at each other in a low voice.
Yun qiongjun asked, “Gu Sen, what do you think? Who is lying?”
Gu Sen replied in a low voice: “we came in a hurry, and we don’t know much about it. Just listening to their excuses, we can’t tell which side is true or false.”
Yun qiongjun frowned and looked back at shuhun, but she couldn’t make up her mind.
They thought the incident was not complicated, but they did not expect to involve such a hidden danger for many years, but there was no place to start.
The tree soul said eagerly, “my body and spirit are sealed. Now my strength is very weak. If you want to kill me, it is just a matter of thinking. Why don’t you believe me this time? ”
Yun qiongjun raised her voice and said, “we met by chance. We should have been on guard. We can’t believe all you said.”
The spirit of the tree saw that their words were loose, and they did not want to kill themselves. They also breathed a sigh of relief. He was concerned and confused. Now he calmed down, and naturally understood that it was impossible for the two strangers to believe what he said easily.
“You’d better find a way for me to confront old Gu Lin face-to-face, clarify the old things one by one, and see who the villains are.”
This proposal is a safe way. Yun qiongjun looks at Gu Sen, and they look at each other. Just as they are about to speak, they suddenly hear the sound of disorderly footsteps coming from outside the cave. Then, the noise of the crowd is gradually clear in her ears, which is full of noise.
“What’s going on?” Asked Yun qiongjun suspiciously. The location of the cave is very hidden. According to the law, no one will enter here by mistake. What’s more, there are many people listening to the sound?
Gu Sen frowned tightly, and his expression suddenly became serious. “Let’s see the situation first.”
As they talked, the noise came nearer, the sound of footsteps coming from the secluded tunnel, the light of torches, and the figures projected on the wall of the mountain.
A moment later, many villagers of the village appeared in front of them.
“Why are you here?” asked Yun qiongjun in surprise and shock
The leader was a tall man who was in charge of the village. At this time, he was excited and flushed. He didn’t even hear Yun qiongjun’s question. His eyes were fixed on the tree spirit behind them, burning with fire in their eyes.
“Villagers, look, that is the evil man’s tree spirit. Kill him and we will be free!”
After holding qiongsen’s hand, she is shocked by the number of people in front of her.
When she turned back, Gu Sen shook her head at her solemnly. “We can’t stop it. If we stop, we will get hurt.”
Sure enough, the indignant villagers stabbed all kinds of sharp weapons into the body of the tree soul. Even before the tree soul could explain in loud voice, the tree soul had already lost its soul, leaving only the withered body on the ground.
“We killed the spirit of the tree!”
The villagers cried out to celebrate and wept with excitement. Both Yun qiongjun and Gu Sen, standing by, were embarrassed and didn’t feel half happy at all.
These people have been following them secretly? This kind of behavior is really not bright! What’s more, the tree soul and Gu Lin old Mu hold their own opinions. They have not even been able to judge who is right and who is wrong. They actually saw the tree soul die in front of them?
Two guests One of the village leaders took their hands and said excitedly, “the spirit of the tree has been ambushed. Our village will have no worries about it from now on. Next we will hold a worship ceremony. Please be sure to attend! You are the heroes of the village
“OK,” said Yun qiongjun, pursing her lips and nodding, “we will certainly go.”
After returning to the village, two young girls led Yun qiongjun and Gu Sen to the rest room. They asked them in a soft voice if they needed anything, and someone sent them fruits and wine in succession to persuade them to eat more.
The two of them were not in the mood to eat. They were attracted by the unexpected situation. Naturally, they refused politely.
At this time, it was almost evening, and the outside sun was no longer blazing, but their hearts were much more upset than at first. Both of them were very worried.
Gu Sen was the first to speak. He knew that Yun qiongjun had something to keep in mind. He was afraid that she might have a problem. He comforted him and said, “relax your heart. Maybe the villagers can’t bear the disturbance of the tree spirit. That’s why they do this kind of thing on impulse. Isn’t it really revenge now?”
Yun qiongjun bit her lip. She can’t cheat herself. No matter whether Shu Hun is a good person or not, she should at least give him a chance to explain. How can she decide the life and death of a life so easily?
“Gusen, I have a very bad feeling.” She smiles bitterly.
Gu Sen sighed, “why do you have to say it? Xiao Yun, to tell you the truth, my worries are the same as yours. When the sacrifice is over, the villagers will calm down. Let’s go and ask about everything in detail. “Yun qiongjun nodded and beckoned the little girl who had just pushed the door in. She asked, “are everyone preparing for the sacrifice?”
The little girl was only 14 or 15 years old. Her face was childish and she was still full of baby fat. Her eyes were full of joy. “Yes, the village head and the elders are preparing. Everyone is very happy. We defeated the villain, and we can finally live a good life in the village?”
The children’s innocent words are full of expectations for a better life in the future. After hearing this, Yun qiongjun also has a trace of comfort in her heart. Maybe they did not do anything wrong. The village has suffered too much. Now she can relax completely. Tree soul Maybe he is really a villain full of rhetoric?
“The village head is choosing sacrifices. I’m going to see the excitement. Do you want to come with me?” Asked the little girl, blinking her big eyes.
Yun qiongjun thinks this is a big event in the village. After all, the two of them are outsiders. They can’t make sense. Yu Shi shakes his head and lets the little girl leave.
The girl jumped out like a happy bird, so they couldn’t help laughing. Gu Sen patted her hand, “relax, maybe it’s not a bad thing? When things happen here, we’ll find a place with beautiful scenery and have a good rest. ”
With a smile, Yun qiongjun’s mood is really bright.
The ceremony was ready for heaven and earth, but it was finished in two hours. At this time, it was evening, and the clouds were like flames. All the villagers came out of their homes, dressed in their brightest clothes and dancing happily. They gathered their heroes, Yun qiongjun and Gu Sen, and walked to the largest open space in the village.
After standing still, the most respected old man in the village presided over the ceremony. This involves local customs, which can’t be understood by outsiders. Yun qiongjun stands there in a heavy heart, and Gu Sen shakes her hand comfortingly. “Don’t think about it. Read it first.”
Yun qiongjun gave a wry smile. It’s no use trying to remedy it now. The spirit of the tree is dead, and their doubts will never be answered.
The local sacrificial rites are complicated and time-consuming. Just when Yun qiongjun and Gu Sen are impatient, the sacrifice finally comes to an end. The villagers separate a road from the middle, and six strong and strong young men gradually walk to the high platform under the pressure of three tied girls.
The girl’s face is full of tears, but there is no struggle. Yun qiongjun’s forehead is full of bruises. “What are they going to do?”
Gu Sen also doubted to shake his head and turned to ask the villagers standing beside him, “what’s wrong with these three girls? Why are they tied? But what big mistake did you make? ”
The people around him were looking at the high platform with great interest. When they heard the words and looked impatiently, they saw the two heroes and quickly replied with a smile: “great Xia, they didn’t make any mistakes, but they were the sacrifice of this sacrifice.”
“Sacrifice? What do you mean Gu Sen’s heart “clutters”, the word sacrifice sounds with a sense of foreboding, living people are sacrifices? How can the sacrifice continue?
He and Yun qiongjun take a look at each other. They look at the high stage worried and uneasy again. They just hope that they are worried about themselves. This is just a ceremony to go through.
However, in the next second, their faces changed greatly. Villagers on the high platform rushed to cut off the tongues of the three girls!
“Stop it. What are you doing?” Yun qiongjun couldn’t help but burst out.
The old man on the high platform said that the three tongues were held in a delicate plate, and came down to her with a smile, “hero, the next thing is to trouble you. Sacrifice these three tongues to Gu Lin laomu, and sincerely pray to her for the peace of our village.”
Yun qiongjun couldn’t bear it any more and cried out angrily, “how can you be so cruel?”
The villagers were puzzled by her anger, and answered innocently: “Gu Lin Lao Mu has been the patron saint of our village for many years. With her protection, our village can survive even in the war without breaking the incense. Of course, we have to prepare the sacrifice that Gu Lin laomu wants. What is the hero angry about? ”
“It’s a madman. The old man Gulin must not be a good thing. Otherwise, how could he ask for such a cruel sacrifice?” When Yun qiongjun saw the three young girls who had their tongues cut off, she felt a pain in her heart.
Gu Sen grabbed her in time and quickly said, “don’t do it now. Let’s take this opportunity to meet old Gu Lin to see who she is and what the weird events in this village are. If she is really a villain, we will kill her!”
Yun qiongjun took a deep breath, endured the anger in her heart and nodded.
