Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 179 Descendants of the Mountain God vs Descendants of the Gods
Fang Yao raised her head abruptly, only to see Huang Zhixian lift the curtain and get out of Fan Chen's carriage.

"master!"

Sanniang suddenly rushed out of the carriage in front, and said angrily, "The postponement of the temple fair of the mountain god is disrespectful to the mountain god, and the mountain god will punish the common people!"

Huang Zhixian glanced at her indifferently, lowered his eyes and said: "It's just a postponement, not a cancellation. This mountain road is really difficult to walk. Let's go up the mountain to have a look. If there is nothing wrong on the way, we will send someone down to inform the villagers. Not too late."

"master!"

Sanniang wanted to say more, but Huang Zhixian didn't even look at her, and got out of the carriage straight away, calling the people to camp and light a fire in the abandoned village ahead.

This time, to avoid falling into the snow-covered poisonous pit, there were people walking in front with long branches and shovels to explore the way.

The carriages and people behind followed the traces of the people in front.

Fortunately, the village was not far away, and it took less than half an hour for everyone to arrive.

Fang Yao looked out through the car window, and it was really an abandoned village.

At a glance, the walls of many mud houses have collapsed in half, not to mention the wooden doors and thatched sheds, which are almost rotten.

"Go to the ancestral hall, it was renovated before." Huang Zhixian's voice sounded from the front.

Sure enough, although the ancestral hall in the center of the village is old and ruined, it is still well preserved. It is still a courtyard with a courtyard, which is very impressive.

Not to mention that some of them will go up the mountain first, even if everyone squeezes in now, it probably won't be a problem.

This is much safer than spending the night in the wilderness.

Because they were afraid of the poison pit, everyone spontaneously checked the yard, and only dared to move around after making sure it was safe.

The gates of the ancestral hall were all locked, but there was no way to stop these people. The locksmith in the county opened all the padlocks with a few strokes.

Originally, everyone was worried that there were some memorial tablets and the like in the ancestral hall, but when the door was opened, there was nothing inside except cobwebs and thick dust.

"Hey, this descendant of the mountain god moved really cleanly!"

Yang Gao's loud voice attracted the attention of the surrounding people, but soon, other people started talking about it.

There is nothing in this ancestral hall, just like an ordinary abandoned house, so everyone settled down and lived here temporarily.

Arranging for the people, Fang Yao and the officials in the county government, as well as some people who insisted on following up the mountain, will set off again.

Due to the ruggedness of the mountain road, the carriage could no longer be used, so two members of the Li clan stayed in the ancestral hall to take care of it.

However, the carriage stayed, and the horse still had to follow.

Fan Chen brought the two horses with their saddles and pointed at one of them, which was tall and dark red. Fang Yao said, "You sit on it, it's called Red Snake, and it's more docile."

Fang Yao remembered that this guy and his companions ignored her and sprayed her with saliva when they were in Zhangxiang City.

"It's docile???"

She was skeptical and reluctant to approach.

Fan Chen patted the horse's ears lightly, and Red Snake obediently lay down.

"Come and sit."

"..."

Fang Yao tried to sit up, and Chi Snake stood up gently.

Fan Chen handed the rein to her, looked up at her, and said with a smile, "How is it? Very docile."

Fang Yao: "..."

This man is a scheming horse!
While those people were still eating dry food, Fang Yao bent down slightly and asked in a low voice, "What does Yang Gao mean by the descendants of the mountain god just now?"

Fan Chen led the red snake to the corner of the yard, and said softly: "There is a bandit den in Qingshen Mountain, and they claim to be descendants of the mountain god..."

It turned out that this village was similar to the one they had encountered for the first time, and almost the whole village was bandits.

The women and children live in the village at the foot of the mountain on weekdays, tricking passing foreigners into the village, and then the men tie them up to the mountain.

Because it was too crazy, the county government finally sent troops to suppress the bandits a few years ago.

It's a pity that there are internal thieves in the yamen. The bandits got the letter in advance, and the whole village hid in Qingshen Mountain.

Qingshen Mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The soldiers in Qingfeng County were usually just farmers.

The government's defeat in suppressing the bandits further fueled the arrogance of the bandits in Qingshen Mountain, and no one dared to provoke them again after that.

And the people in the village gradually moved to the mountains.

Only two years ago, this group of people suddenly went down the mountain, claiming to be descendants of the mountain god, and brought a lot of gold-plated statues and pictures of the mountain god.

They walk around the streets and give these pictures and statues of mountain gods to "people who are destined" for free.

"The so-called predestined people are those who can see the mountain god after touching the statue of the mountain god."

Fang Yao's face was full of confusion: "Is it true that someone can see the mountain god by touching that statue?"

Fan Chen frowned, "At least among the people I've asked, two people have personally said that they have seen it, and more than once, and they all said that what they saw was a woman."

"what……"

Fang Yao was a little dumbfounded.

This matter... is really beyond her cognition.

Sounds even more outrageous than the super toxins in that pothole.

Fan Chen continued: "They claim that the mountain god came out of the mountain to protect sentient beings. Coincidentally, the next two years will be auspicious and severe drought, but Qingshen Mountain is lush with greenery, and the flowers and trees are even more luxuriant than before."

Fang Yao murmured: "So, the people of Qingfeng County...do they believe in the mountain god?"

Fan Chen nodded.

Fang Yao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

At least in Xihe Village in Zhenyang County, the sorghum field of Chu Xihou is also extremely dense, and now Qingshen Mountain is like this...

No miasma can be seen in the sky, and there is also strange sand in the statue, all signs indicate that...

"This time, the plague demon is hiding underground!"

Fang Yao affirmed.

Fan Chen nodded: "I think so too. As soon as Xuanjing entered Qingfeng County, he suddenly couldn't find where the monster was. This should be the reason."

Fang Yao raised her eyebrows, it seems that Fan Chen's hanging mirror will not be so easy to use.

"What are you two whispering over there..."

Not far away, a man in official clothes came over with a few subordinates, his face full of smiles.

Fang Yao and Fan Chen looked over together and recognized this person as the county's head bookmaker, who clasped his fists and saluted, "Lord An."

However, Mr. An didn't pay attention to Fan Chen, but stared at Fang Yao with a pair of triangular squinting eyes, pretending to be warm and said: "Since Madam is our Mrs. Huang's wife, I can also respectfully call you sister-in-law."

Fang Yao twitched the corner of her mouth, "Master An, you are welcome."

"Unexpectedly, Lord Huang and you have been separated for two years. Only now did I see you, and I obeyed your advice, madam. I don't know how to explain to the descendants of the mountain god when I go up the mountain. sin..."

Master An was smiling when he spoke, but there was no smile in his eyes at all.

Fang Yao really laughed.

Go blind with her?

Don't even look at who she is, Fang Yao is too damn good at it!
She pursed her lips, and said solemnly: "Master An, don't be afraid, it's just a group of small descendants of mountain gods. I have believed in gods since I was a child, and I can be regarded as half descendants of gods for so long. If they do something, the gods will punish you." Yo."

"..."
