Chapter 1757: Chapter 943: Mountain Village
Early in the morning, more than a dozen men armed with weapons came to the dilapidated temple. The sky outside was already very bright, with light spreading everywhere.
At this moment, a young man wearing a fur coat looked quite at ease. He held a trident in his hand, with an axe tucked at his waist.
The man stood in front of Lin Feng and said to everyone: "This kid seems to be an outsider. How come the ghosts nowadays start grabbing people from outside?"
The middle-aged man, who was the leader from last night, stepped out and said to the men inside the room: "You guys really have no sense. Just look at how he’s dressed and you know he accidentally stumbled upon evil when passing by last night."
After hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the young man and everyone else saw the burnt-out fire pit in the room, which confirmed what the middle-aged man said.
"Ah, no wonder you’re the leader. How could we have thought of such things," said one man flattering him.
The middle-aged man burst into laughter, thinking if everyone knew such complex reasoning, there would be no need for him to be the village chief anymore.
This middle-aged man named Liu Bang was the village chief of the hunter village in this area and lived quite leisurely. His job was to lead the villagers in hunting better and more game.
These game didn’t need to be too many, just enough to provide food and clothing for the villagers was sufficient. Unfortunately, these people didn’t know how to breed and lived by hunting, knowing only how to kill, not to nurture.
Therefore, a ghost appeared in the village half a year ago, rumored to be the mountain god punishing them.
All villagers who hunt in the mountains have seen the ghost, and then people in their homes started disappearing mysteriously.
"Alright, carry him back for us." Liu Bang began to issue orders, asking everyone to carry Lin Feng back to the village. He wanted to find the old witch doctor to see if this kid was a blessing or a curse.
A few young men immediately picked up Lin Feng, as they were out of stretchers, they could only lift Lin Feng high to carry him.
Carrying Lin Feng, they walked through patches of forest and bamboo groves until they finally arrived at a village named Bamboo Forest Village.
Women saw the men returning, and one by one they put down their tasks to welcome their men at the village entrance.
Liu Bang had the most women, with five women to greet him.
Among them, three were daughters, and two were wives. People in this village lived very leisurely.
The daughter asked her father: "Who is the outsider you brought back?"
"Children should not ask what they don’t understand. Hurry up and get to work. I’ll find you a husband to marry next year," Liu Bang said, then went to Lin Feng, looked at everyone holding Lin Feng, and then told the young man: "Find someone to carry him and follow me."
The middle-aged man replied: "Yes, I’ll go with you right away." After speaking, he called a man to help carry Lin Feng and followed Liu Bang.
A few people carried Lin Feng to the old witch doctor, and the old witch doctor began to perform rituals upon seeing Lin Feng. Although this village was very backward, the witch doctor enjoyed a very high status, being the most respected person in the village.
The old witch doctor had them place Lin Feng on a bed, then started performing spells with his magic wand.
"Heavenly spirits and earthly spirits, reveal the truth; is this man good or bad for us." Only to see a light blue glow appear inside the crystal ball, incredibly pure.
Then the crystal ball began to show various images, showing Lin Feng uncovering the real culprit and restoring Bamboo Forest Village to its former peace and harmony.
The old witch doctor, seeing the prophecy in the crystal ball, began performing a gratitude ritual to thank the heavens for revealing the future to him.
What no one else knew was that the crystal ball in the old witch doctor’s hand was a top-grade treasure capable of identifying the future and discerning fortune from misfortune.
They were just a group of villagers and naturally wouldn’t understand the concepts of spiritual treasures and treasures. These treasures were only known to cultivators, while many ordinary people didn’t even believe in the path of cultivation, let alone know what a treasure was.
In the Six Realms, there were still many ordinary people who lived in the normal world and were skeptical about gods and spells.
The altar on the old witch ancestor’s table actually housed this treasure, passed down within the village. And to become a witch ancestor, one must first be a disciple of the witch doctor and could only inherit the duties of the next witch doctor by passing the final assessment of the witch doctor.
The young man, upon hearing the witch doctor say Lin Feng was the village’s savior, burst into laughter and quickly said to the old witch doctor: "Him, did I hear that right?"
Just any passerby could be the village’s savior, which everyone would find baffling.
However, Lin Feng was indeed such a savior; he didn’t appear here by chance but came with a purpose and was destined to be here.
The middle-aged man said to the young man: "You must not doubt the witch doctor’s words, quickly apologize to the witch doctor."
The witch doctor replied: "No need, I was simply stating the words from the crystal ball."
