28 Threat
The face of the woman who brought her here was still ugly, but much better than before.

Chu Nanxing squatted in front of the woman, pinching her chin, ignoring the flower hugging his thigh and asked, "What is the purpose of this sacrifice?"

The woman sneered, apparently not intending to satisfy Chu Nanxing's thirst for knowledge.

There was even a bit of lingering malice in her eyes.

"I won't tell you. Since you are so lucky and can survive, then go find it yourself!"

The woman's voice was flat, but the content of the words made Chu Nanxing very dissatisfied.

"You think if you don't say anything, there's no way for me to know all this?"

"Since you believe in gods, you should naturally know that there are some unknown powers in this world. Do you think I am the owner of this power?"

The woman was stunned by Chu Nanxing's words.

She followed Chu Nanxing's words and began to think, her face became paler and paler, and she didn't look bloody at all.

"If you honestly tell what you know, I can still let you go. If you continue to think about hiding it, don't blame me for being rude."

Chu Nanxing's words made the woman struggle a little, but she still didn't say what Chu Nanxing wanted to hear.

At this moment, an old man's voice suddenly came from behind, and there was a muffled sound of a cane hitting the ground.

"What do you want to know, I can tell you, don't make things difficult for Juanjuan."

As the voice became clearer, an old man who looked to be in his 60s or [-]s appeared in front of Chu Nanxing.

The old man held a crutch in his hand, and there were some strange patterns engraved on the crutch, which were very similar to the patterns on the altar, but it didn't have the weird feeling of the patterns on the altar.

Chu Nanxing frowned and looked at the old man, "You want me to let her go?"

The old man didn't speak, but walked up to the woman, bent down and helped the half-paralyzed woman sit aside.

When the woman saw the old man, she looked slightly excited and a little resistant.

It seems contradictory.

"Second uncle, I..."

The woman was interrupted by the old man before she finished speaking.

The old man's expression was cold, and he looked at the woman with cold eyes, "Stay here obediently, I will solve this matter, and you don't need to intervene."

Chu Nanxing felt that the relationship between the two of them was a bit strange, and the atmosphere between them seemed strange.

But before he could observe more information, the old man had already let go of the woman in his hand, and came in front of Chu Nanxing.

"I heard what you and Juanjuan said just now. Your lord should be a person with aura!"

When the old man faced Chu Nanxing, his attitude was very respectful, his head was always lowered, and he didn't even meet Chu Nanxing's eyes.

It seems that the old man knows some information that women don't know, Chu Nanxing deliberately put on a proud look, looked at the old man in front of him, "Since you know, then you should know that your little tricks will not make a difference in front of me." effect."

"Instead of suffering and telling the truth, it's better to confess honestly, so that you can suffer less."

The old man said in a hoarse voice, "Your Excellency, you don't need to threaten me. I've already planned to tell you what happened in the town."

"Since your lord is a cultivator, you can naturally see the black resentment that filled the sky when the altar was raised just now!"

Of course Chu Nanxing would not forget that scene at that time, but she was very curious about the relationship between what the old man was about to say and the black resentment that appeared on the altar.

She didn't speak, just looked at the old man in front of her.

The old man didn't mind Chu Nanxing's attitude and continued, "30 years ago, a cultivator like an adult came to our town. lost his life."

"Later, under the instructions of the gods, we found out why the child lost his life, so we killed the cultivator and buried him under this ancestral hall."

When Chu Nanxing heard this, he immediately frowned and interrupted the old man, "We are just a group of ordinary people, and that person is still a cultivator. How did you kill that person and bury him under this ancestral hall?"

The old man was not surprised that Chu Nanxing would doubt his words. He sighed and continued, "Because the gods helped us."

"He lent us his power for a short time and asked us to sacrifice every three years."

"At first, the sacrifices the gods asked for were just some ordinary pastries and meat. Although they were expensive, we worked hard to get them together. But then one day, the gods asked us to change the sacrifices in a dream, and the sacrifices were replaced by living ones. people."

When the old man mentioned these things, he was agitated and had tears in his eyes. Obviously, he was still brooding over the original incident and could not forget it.

"Have you never doubted the identity of this god? At a critical moment, he appeared inexplicably and asked you to sacrifice for no reason. But before this, this god seemed to have never appeared in your lives."

The old man in front of him didn't understand what Chu Nanxing said.

At that time, they had no ability to resist the evil cultivator, so they could only rely on the power of gods to protect themselves. However, they did not expect that the gods who protected them would eventually become the executioners who harmed them.

"Those things have passed, and it is too late to regret now."

"Ten years ago, a practitioner came to our town and found that there was a lot of resentment in our town. He originally wanted to find out the source of the resentment in our town, but he found nothing and died on the altar."

"But since he died on the altar, no one in the town has heard the gods' dreams again. We thought we were rid of the gods, but we didn't expect the gods to enter our dreams again."

"This time the god looked very weak, as if he was injured. He asked us to offer sacrifices every year. We refused, but in the year after we refused, many strange things happened in the town. Many strange things happened in the town. People lost their lives for some inexplicable reason.”

The old man's eyes were red, and his body was trembling slightly when he remembered what happened back then.

"Later, the god entered the dream and warned us, and we resumed the sacrifice!"

Chu Nanxing remembered that when he saw the altar rising, that ray of white light was killing his resentment.

The white light was very dim, amidst the resentment all over the sky, it was like a flickering candle, which would go out at any moment, but it remained firm.

It's like two forces fighting.

Thinking of this, Chu Nanxing became more and more curious about the existence of the altar and the gods.

She really wanted to know who this god was?And why do so many people come to worship?What is his purpose?
