Just when everyone thought that "Ling Huayin" would definitely die this time, Situ Yan had quick eyesight and quick hands. He stretched out his arms and pushed "Ling Huayin" behind him. He raised his hand to open the barrier and wanted to block the sword, but unexpectedly

Zhang Xingwen's sword was not pointed at "Ling Huayin". He saw a flash of blood in front of his eyes, and Zhang Xingwen actually pierced his own chest with the sword.

Everyone was stunned and saw Zhang Xingwen slowly falling to the ground, pressing his chest with his hands to hold on to his last breath. He looked at the village chief and said: "I am a sinner. I have killed so many people. Death is not a pity. Now my whole family

I can only exchange these four lives for the lives of those innocent victims. I hope... I hope that I can atone for the sins we committed in the human world in the earth world... In the next life... I will no longer be a monster in the next life.

..." As soon as Zhang Xingwen finished his intermittent words, he had already breathed his last.

Situ Yan shook his head wordlessly, wondering whether he was sighing for Zhang Xingwen's death or for what had happened to this village.

Bai Ning hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, clenched her fists and said: "It's really easy for him to let him die like this! Taoist priest, the forest Zhang Xingwen said is behind the mountain, these monsters must have hidden Bai Sanniang there!

"

At this time, a strong man yelled: "Bai Sanniang has been eaten by a monster a long time ago, what a fool! The forest is very evil, and you still want several benefactors to take risks, you know how to cause trouble!"

"

Bai Ning refused to give up, "You didn't see it, how did you know that I was eaten? I think you did something wrong and didn't dare to face Bai Sanniang!"

"What did you say!"

Seeing that a few people were about to start a quarrel, the village chief quickly stopped him and said: "Stop quarreling! It's better to confirm whether Bai Sanniang is dead or alive." After that, he walked to Situ Yan and said: "Several of you.

My benefactor, what happened in Lingyin Village is our own fault, and we should bear the blame ourselves, but Bai Sanniang is innocent, can my benefactor help us again?"

"Don't worry, we're going to take a look right now, but where is the evil door you said is in the forest?" Situ Yan asked.

The strong man who spoke just now replied immediately: "My benefactor did not know that the forest can eat people. I heard that no one who has ever entered the forest has ever come out, so the villagers dare not approach it."

"Oh? It's indeed quite evil." Situ Yan instantly became very interested in this topic. He originally thought that the matter in this village had been solved, but he didn't expect that Lingyin Village was far more mysterious than he imagined, so

Then he said: "Since this is the case, let's go as early as possible to avoid a long night and many dreams."

Bai Ning stood up actively again, patted her chest and said, "You don't know the way, I will take you there!" After that, she took it upon herself to lead the way.

Situ Yan followed Bai Ning silently, looking thoughtful.

When we arrived at the entrance to the forest that the villagers said, we saw a winding path that went straight into the depths. But all the way here, the road was overgrown with weeds and couldn't be considered a road at all.

"Situ Yan, that boy is missing!" E Luo suddenly shouted from behind.

Situ Yan turned around and saw that Bai Ning had disappeared long ago, as if he had disappeared out of thin air. He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he is the real mountain god."

"Ah, what did you say? That kid is a mountain god?" E Luo obviously didn't believe it. How could a little kid get involved with the mountain god!

Situ Yan smiled and said, "You will know later. Let's go, there is no danger here."

E Luo followed Situ Yan and "Ling Huayin" dubiously, walking along the path to the depths. The scenery in front of her suddenly opened up, as if she had entered the depths of a peach garden, with birds singing, flowers fragrant, and the sun shining brightly. An ancient mountain temple

Standing in front of him. Situ Yan stepped forward and as soon as he put his hand on the door handle, he felt a weak barrier wall separating the outside world. He stood staring for a while, not knowing what he was looking at. It wasn't until E Luo urged him that he gently nodded.

Push it, and the door opens with a creak.

Inside the door, a girl in a bright red wedding dress was sitting on the ground clinging to a middle-aged woman. Except for some scars on the woman's arms, both of them seemed to be fine. Seeing Situ Yan pushing the door open, the two of them hurriedly

He stood up with a face full of surprise.

Situ Yan asked them what happened, and then he learned the truth about the forest, so he and E Luo sent them back to the village. The matter in Lingyin Village was finally settled. That day, they rushed back to Dahuang Mountain.

At this time, it was sunset in Dahuang Mountain. The three of them gathered at Situ Yan's Yunmeng Terrace, eating refreshments made from yintao, and listening to Situ Yan talk about what he saw in the barrier at the entrance of the mountain temple.

Actually, the secret in the forest is not what the villagers said.

"According to what you said, did the villagers who disappeared in the forest actually leave the village?" Ling Huayin asked.

Situ Yan said: "Yes, that forest is the residence of the mountain god. Lingyin Village has been blessed by the mountain god for generations in the past, and the villagers have received many favors from the mountain god. But later, for unknown reasons, droughts continued in the mountains, and people's lives became worse and worse.

The worse the recession, many people thought of leaving the village. Some villagers who went into the forest to hunt accidentally discovered the boundary of the mountain temple and discovered that there was a wider world outside the mountain. So they went out and never came back. Staying.

The residents of the village thought it was a man-eating forest."

"Mountains are silent, but they give people land, river water and food. Human beings are naturally grateful. However, once the land where they live encounters changes, people think that the mountain gods will no longer protect them. Even if they are gods, there are many things they cannot do.

It's something." Ling Huayin said with emotion.

Situ Yan took a sip of tea and said helplessly: "The mountain god of Lingyin Village is also very aggrieved. He gave shelter to the villagers, but was misunderstood by the villagers as a man-eating monster. After being wronged for so many years, he not only ignored the past grudges, but also

He silently helped them. If it weren't for his suggestion, we probably wouldn't have found the murderer behind this so quickly."

"So, is Bai Ning really the mountain god?" E Luo still didn't believe that the mountain god was a child whose hair had not yet fully grown.

Situ Yan said: "We are inseparable. Even if it is not the mountain god himself, he still has some special relationship with the mountain god. The girl who was originally used for sacrifice was sent to the forest by Bai Ning to escape, although there are still monsters living in the forest.

, but if she is protected by the mountain god, the monsters will not be able to find her. And after we returned to the village, the village chief actually said that there is no such person as Bai Ning in the village. Isn't this strange? How could a lively person who even talked to us...

Doesn’t it mean it doesn’t exist if it doesn’t exist?”

"Then why didn't he tell the villagers the truth about the mountain god earlier, otherwise so many people wouldn't have died. Doesn't the mountain god protect the earth? After so many people died, he must be somewhat responsible."

Situ Yan shook his head and said: "Miss Eluo's words are wrong. The mountain god also has something unspeakable. In ancient times, there was a large-scale battle in heaven, which lasted for seven days. A day in the sky is like a year in the world.

, the human world suffered seven years of disasters, floods, droughts, landslides, etc. due to the infighting among the gods... The population continued to decrease, and humans became resentful of the gods.

The gods set a rule that the human and divine realms would not interfere with each other. Although the relationship between the two realms gradually eased later, there are still many ancient immortals and gods living in the human realm who still remember the rules of the past and are unwilling to interfere too much with the human realm.

Unless the matter reaches a point where they have to take care of it, most of the gods and gods will turn a blind eye."

Ling Huayin thought deeply for a while and asked: "There is still such a connection between the human and divine worlds, Situ Yan, these are things that happened a long time ago, how do you know?"

"Oh!" Situ Yan smiled and said, "I naturally remembered it. Maybe I heard someone else say it."

Ling Huayin glanced at him thoughtfully, and then she found that E Luo was also staring at Situ Yan meaningfully, and smiled and said to them: "I always feel that you, Situ Yan, are very similar to someone I have heard of."

people."

Ling Huayin was slightly surprised, "Who does it look like?"

Situ Yan smiled at E Luo and waited for E Luo's answer, but he looked calm and didn't seem to care much about the answer to this question.

E Luo said with a smile, "It's been a long time ago. I heard it from the clan and I don't know the name. Besides, there are so many similar people in the world. I just said it casually. Don't take it seriously."

Ah. Hey Situ Yan, tell us about you. I have known you for so long, but I have never heard you talk about yourself."

Situ Yan smiled and shook his head, and said apologetically: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Miss E Luo. I've forgotten many things. There really is nothing to say. Miss E Luo wants to hear some anecdotes about Qing Huitai."

I can talk about some things."

"Forget it, forget it, what's so good about that? It's better to listen to the gossips of our nightmares! Let me tell you, do you know how the nightmares turn into human form when they become adults?" After speaking, Eluo turned to Ling.

Hua Yin winked and chuckled charmingly.

Ling Huayin was not very interested. She was only focused on Situ Yan's mysterious origin.

On the other hand, Situ Yan looked curious, "Huh? I can't guess that. Didn't he transform like other demons after hard training?"

"Hehe, it's the same thing, but it's still different. Incarnation of a nightmare requires a process, which is to possess an adult body and then have fun with the opposite sex." Elo said.

Here, he deliberately moved closer to Ling Huayin and teased: "Ling Huayin, you were also a human before, did you know?"

Ling Huayin's face turned red and she stood up, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, "If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for locking you in a gourd!"

E Luo laughed so hard that her flowers trembled. She grabbed the corner of Ling Huayin's clothes with her long nails and said, "Don't be angry! I didn't say anything, and you know what kind of happy things I mean when I talk about happy things."

After saying that, he turned to Situ Yan who was confused and said, "Situ Yan, do you know what I'm talking about?"

Situ Yan's face was full of curiosity, and he humbly said: "I am not talented, but please give me some advice from Miss E Luo."

"Situ Yan." Ling Huayin stared at Situ Yan, whose face was full of ignorance, and warned in a low voice.

E Luo smiled even more happily, "What I'm talking about is that a man and a woman are alone in a room, and when they make firewood, they meet the fire... Hehe..."

Situ Yan still didn't have much reaction after hearing this. He thought about it carefully for a while, then nodded clearly and said seriously: "I probably understand. It turns out that this is the happy thing that Miss E Luo said. I have learned a lesson."

It seems that there are still many things that I don’t know. I will definitely experience it someday, and maybe I can understand the true meaning.”

"Beast!" Ling Huayin cursed secretly, then blushed and walked away.

Situ Yan looked innocent and surprised, "What's wrong with her?"

"Ha... I'm probably shy." E Luo covered her mouth and laughed.

"Shy? Would you be shy like this... Okay." Situ Yan seemed to understand, then shrugged with an aggrieved expression, "But why did Linghua scold me?"
