C1235 High priest
Facing this group of hostile gazes, Ye Qian and the Condor felt it was rather strange facing these villager with malevolent expressions and sticks in their hands. Especially Ye Qian, he seemed to have seen traces of a nervous aura on everyone's faces.
Above this ancient land in the east, there were countless backward villages like Death Village.
It was not unusual for people from outside the village to be forbidden entry into the village.
Therefore, with the thought of respecting the villagers' traditions, Ye Qian and Condor did not continue forward, nor did they think of entering the village through force.
"Fellow villagers, we're just two normal tourists passing by to see the beautiful scenery of this village. We'd like to take a look!"
Ye Qian explained with an amiable expression.
The leading villager's face was as thin as a match, but the stick in his hand was extremely fierce: "Hmph, I already said that we don't allow outsiders to enter our village. You all better hurry up and leave, otherwise we won't be polite!"
When the Condor saw this, it immediately became angry: "You, what kind of attitude is this? Could it be that this is king of the world? I don't believe it, I am going in to take a look today."
With that, the Condor walked forward, and the group of villagers did not want to be outdone, so they immediately rushed forward.
Ye Qian then grabbed the Condor and laughed: "Forget it, forget it, since they have such rules, let's not go in!"
Ye Qian then turned to the group of villagers and greeted them once again, "My brother is not sensible.
While speaking, Ye Qian pulled the Condor and turned to leave.
On the contrary, it was the Condor that had a face of anger: "Marshal Ye, what is this? We clearly came here with good intentions to help them catch these monsters, not only did they not appreciate our help, they even spoke so arrogantly. This is really, really infuriating!"
"Alright, this kind of backward village is common in the Eastern Lands, it's not strange at all. Since they don't want us to enter, then let's take a detour!"
While speaking, Ye Qian led the Condor, and the two of them walked towards the Taiping Mountains.
Furthermore, the villagers of Death Village did not let their guard down just because of Ye Qian and the departure of the Condor.
This group of people stood at the village entrance and watched Ye Qian and his sister leave. Among them, a skinny man who was around 50 years old said to the people beside him: "Zhang Er, send a few people to keep an eye on these two guys, I see that they have an unknown origin, it is extremely strange. They might have come with an unspeakable purpose!"
"Patriarch, there's no need for that, I think those two are just two kids from a big city. I'm just curious, they shouldn't have any motives, right?"
"Who knows? We don't know how to judge a person's appearance and heart. Besides, the Sacrificial Ceremony is about to start in the next two days. We can't make the slightest mistake!"
Hearing the words "Sacrificial Ceremony", Zhang Er's face shook. "Alright, I'll go right now!"
After saying that, Zhang Er waved his hand and brought along a few people to quietly follow the footsteps of Ye Qian and the Condor.
However, these villagers were only normal people in the eyes of Ye Qian and the Condor, so no matter how hard they tried to hide their whereabouts, they could not hide it from Ye Qian and the Condor.
He felt that the group of people behind him were following him, and the Condor was even more so a thunderfire.
"This bunch of fellows really want more than they can chew. We've already given way, yet they still want to follow us? I'll go teach them a lesson!"
In the end, Condor was still young and vigorous.
Instead, it was Ye Qian who pulled back the Condor and said: "Forget it, forget it, they are just a group of ordinary people, why bother fighting with them? "It's better not to cause trouble, let's go into the Taiping Mountain to have a look, who knows, maybe there will be some unexpected gains?"
As they spoke, Ye Qian and Condor followed the soil beneath their feet and ascended the Taiping Mountain.
Following behind them were Zhang Er and the others, who watched as they went up the mountain. Their expressions changed greatly as they said, "Not good, it seems like Patriarch's estimations are correct. These two definitely have evil intentions. They actually dare to go to our tomb. No …"
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "You guys stay here. I'll go inform the chief immediately."
At this moment, Zhang Er's face was filled with anxiety, as though he was running towards the exit of the Death Village Village at the fastest speed possible.
As he ran, Zhang Er yelled, "Bad news, bad news! Clan leader, clan leader …"2
When the emaciated clan head heard Zhang Er's shout, he immediately asked, "What happened?"
Zhang Er ran all the way to the front of the clan leader, panting heavily as he said, "Patriarch, Patriarch, those two outsiders have gone up the mountain. Maybe, maybe they are heading for the tomb!"
Hearing Zhang Er's words, the chief's face started to turn pale.
"Dammit, the tomb is the most sacred place in our village, and it's filled with the ancestors of our village. These two damned Outsiders!"
"Patriarch, what should we do now?" Zhang Er had no idea what to do, so he asked nervously.
The patriarch thought for a while and said: "Immediately gather the strongest men in the village and patrol the place. Once you discover these two coming down the mountain, immediately capture them.
"Yes, Patriarch!"
After giving out all the instructions, the chief rushed into the village. Following Zhang Er's shout, the entire village started to boil up. Every household had a young man carrying a shovel and hoe as he rushed out of their house.
Not long after, a small squad of tens of people appeared at the entrance of Death Village.
At the entrance of the village, Zhang Er stood in front of everyone and scolded: "Fellow clansmen, fellow clansmen, we have just received news that two foreign clansmen have trespassed into our Taiping Mountain and rushed towards our ancestor's tomb. That place is the most sacred and inviolable place of our Death Village. So now, all of you, take the weapons in your hands and prepare to go with me to protect our home and our ancestors! "
Actually, this speech from Number Two didn't have much skill behind it, nor was it provocative. However, his words caused the entire team to burst into flames of anger.
Before long, a patrol group formed by a group of villagers was formed at the foot of the Taiping Mountain. However, none of the villagers dared to approach the Taiping Mountain, let alone set foot on it. This was somewhat strange.
On the other side, the Patriarch of Death Village was jogging towards the deepest part of his village.
No one would have thought that at the end of this small village was a green brick and red tile manor. There was a faint fragrance wafting from the manor, which was out of place in this small village.
The Patriarch stood in front of the door, not daring to take the initiative to knock. Instead, he kneeled on the ground, respectfully kowtowed three times and said, "The thirty-fifth generation Patriarch of Death Village, Zhang Xian Zhi Zun, respectfully greets High Priest …"
"The thirty-fifth generation Patriarch of Death Village, Zhang Xian Zhi, respectfully requests High Priest's peace of mind …"
The chief respectfully repeated these words nine times. After which, the manor emitted a golden light and sucked the chief into it. After which, the entire manor's entrance became quiet once again.
