Everyone thinks I'm a wealthy doctor's son-in-law

The earthen house is not big, and the huge size of the mountain monkey almost fills the house.

It stared at the girl with its big copper bell-like eyeballs, and its thick and powerful hands quickly reached out to grab the girl's shoulder.

The girl was terrified, she was dumbfounded, she instinctively shivered and curled up in the corner, she could only helplessly watch the big hand reaching out.

Just when Shan Yuan Maohou's hand was about to touch the girl, a figure rushed into the room, it was Lu Ming who rushed over.

He grabbed the tail of the Shanyuan Hairy Monkey and pulled it out forcefully. The huge figure staggered, and its thick paws flew into the air. The Shanyuan Hairy Monkey turned around and slapped Lu Ming.

With such a huge body, the burst of power is a thousand catties. If he is hit by him like the original shadow, he will definitely be blown away.

Lu Ming quickly dodged sideways, grabbed the monkey's tail and pulled it hard, and then put his foot in the monkey's abdomen. This kick was very authentic, and the huge body of the monkey kept retreating.

With a bang, the door was pushed down, and the huge body rolled outside the room.

The sound here woke up the villagers of Shijia Village, they lit torches and rushed out, yelling.

Shijia Village is at the foot of Shiqing Mountain, and wild beasts often enter the village to attack, so as soon as there is a sound, these villagers will light torches immediately, and then rush out of the room shouting, thereby scaring away the wild beasts.

But this time, when a group of villagers rushed forward with torches, the yelling gradually stopped, and everyone showed fear, and then fell to their knees with a plop.

"The mountain god is the mount of the mountain god."

"Meet the mountain god."

"Mountain God forgive me."

There was a lot of begging for mercy, and everyone knelt down on the ground and did not dare to move. They thought it was a wild beast, but they didn't expect it to be the mount of a mountain god.

Inside the house, Lu Ming turned his head and said, "Just stay in the house."

After finishing speaking, he rushed out of the room, staring at the mountain monkey. Its body was arched, its arms were lowered, and its fists were pressed to the ground, just like a ferocious gorilla.

At this moment, He Xinyi, Yao Qing, Shangguanhe and others also rushed out of the room.

"It's it again!" Shadow looked gloomy, reaching for a dagger from his waist.

Yao Qing shouted: "Work together to subdue it!"

But Shangguan Yanran, who was standing by the side, seemed very frightened, and didn't dare to make a move at all, and kept stepping back.

Just when Lu Ming was about to make a move, a roar came from the forest. It should be the roar of a person, with his throat stretched.

Hearing the sound, the Shanyuan Maohou gave up the attack instantly, turned around and jumped onto the roof beside him with amazing jumping power, and then disappeared in the dark night in the distance after two or three jumps.

"Unfortunately, let it run away again!" Ying retracted the dagger, looked into the forest, and said, "Someone must have kept this thing in captivity!"

Lu Ming stood with his hands behind his back. What he was even more curious about was why Shanyuan Maohou wanted to attack the girl. Could it be that the people who controlled Shanyuan Maohou were people from Shijia Village. They heard what the girl said earlier and wanted to lead them into the mountains , so kill to silence?
"A catastrophe has occurred, a catastrophe has occurred, and the mountain god is angry."

The old patriarch came walking with a cane, looking terrified.

Yao Qing frowned and said, "That's not a mountain god, but a rare beast called the Shan Yuan Mao Monkey."

"That's the mountain god's mount!" The old patriarch stuck out his cane, looked at the girl's collapsed door, and said, "She must have blasphemed the mountain god, and the mountain god sent a mount to punish her."

Lu Ming walked forward slowly, looked at the villagers kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Old patriarch, are all the villagers here?"

The old patriarch looked around, looked carefully, nodded and said: "They are all here, they are all here! It's over, the mountain god is angry, you should leave early tomorrow morning!"

"Is it okay to take that girl?" Lu Ming asked.

"Shi Xiu! Take her away quickly, she has blasphemed the mountain god and will bring disaster to our Shijia Village." The old patriarch said tremblingly, knelt down on the ground with difficulty, kowtowed in the direction of Shi Qingshan , still muttering in his mouth.

Superstition has been deeply ingrained in their hearts. Lu Ming doesn't believe in any mountain gods at all, and the howling in the mountains just now must be the voice of humans.

After such a commotion, the people in Shijia Village were panicked, and it took a long time for them to disperse, closing their doors tightly and not daring to make a sound.

Lu Ming took Shi Xiu and Shi Sheng into the room where they lived, and vacated the only bed for the siblings to lie down on. As for Lu Ming, the three of them sat on the stool, preparing to spend the night.

On the bed, Shi Xiu didn't get up quietly until Shi Sheng fell asleep.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Lu Ming asked in a low voice with his eyes slightly closed.

Shi Xiu climbed out of the bed, walked up to Lu Ming, and knelt down with a plop.

"Thank you for saving me and my brother."

Lu Ming stretched out his hand to pull her up, and asked with a smile, "You don't believe that is the so-called mountain god, do you?"

Shi Xiu nodded and said: "As you said, it is just a kind of emotionless and unknown beast. There is no mountain god. Shijia Village sacrifices to the so-called mountain god every year. If there is a mountain god, it should It is right to bless us, so that Shijia Village will not be in trouble."

According to Shi Xiu, their parents went hunting in the mountains a few years ago and never came back.

Except for the old patriarch, Shijia Village has a very clear hierarchy. Those who have the ability to hunt have a higher status and live near the old patriarch, such as young people like them, or some old people , can only live in the outskirts, the most dilapidated places, and their food is also distributed by the villagers.

This is not difficult to see from the layout of Shijia Village and their frantic grabbing of food.

Lu Ming asked, "Do you know that underground palace?"

Shi Xiu nodded heavily, "I was selected by the village. This year's sacrificial person was sent to the mountain to be seen by the mountain god a month ago. It was because I went to the underground palace and came out alive that I was selected as the sacrificial person." object."

I don't know if I don't hear it, I'm startled when I hear it.

Every year in Shijia Village, a man and two women are selected and sent to the mountain for sacrifice. Before the sacrifice, the mountain god needs to choose.

As long as she is 16 years old, she will be designated as a sacrificial object, and Shi Xiu is just [-] this year. She and another girl and boy from the village were sent to the mountain. The mountain god chose her, and she stayed in the underground palace for nearly After a quarter of an hour, he finally left safely.

Here it is explained that she has been approved by the mountain god, so she will be sacrificed to the mountain god in the near future.

After listening to her story, Lu Ming became more and more curious about the underground palace in Shiqing Mountain. It is definitely not a deserted underground palace, and there must be people living in it. As for the purpose of offering sacrifices every year, I don't know.

In the underground palace of Shiqing Mountain, the origin of the ancient box and even the secrets hidden in the ancient box are hidden, so who is guarding the underground palace?
You must know that the origin of the ancient box cannot be traced back, and the people who brought the ancient box into the coffin came from the underground palace of Shiqing Mountain. They have a history of at least a thousand years.

Just as Lu Ming was considering all this, Shi Xiu knelt down again and begged: "I can take you to the underground palace, regardless of life or death, I just ask you one thing, take my brother Shi Sheng out of the village, okay?"
