"Go back, don't get hit by grandpa, or you'll die!" This is Qiao'er's life! Can't change it! Qiao'er pushed Ma Chengfeng away with tears in her eyes and said.

"Your grandfather? Does he know that you eat fairy grass? Does he know that you are going to be a Falling Flower Cave Girl? Ma Chengfeng deliberately raised his tone a little higher when he spoke, as if he was saying this to Wu Lao on the other side.

"Shhhh Stop! Qiao'er stretched out her slender fingertips and pressed them on Ma Chengfeng's lips. Ethnic minority girls are very simple, they have never been out of the mountains, and they have never watched those romance TV series on TV, how do you know that this action has now become a "charming" for girls to tease their sweethearts?

She looked back at the opposite room, and her grandfather didn't seem to be woken up. She put on her cloak and jumped out of the window. "Brother Ma, are you the savior sent by the mountain god to save Linghua Village?" She asked nonsensibly. These words stunned Ma Chengfeng, is this girl stupid? How many years have you been, and you still believe in this?

"I'm just a Jianghu person, I only do what I have to do, I will help you if you need help, your cottage needs me, I will help your cottage, what the hell is going on? Tell me about it! Qiao'er's big eyes seemed to be able to speak, full of appeals, and in her heart, she had already regarded this big brother of the Han people outside the mountains as her big hero.

Qiao'er nodded, grabbed his hand and walked out without saying a word. Ma Chengfeng still kept an eye on it, looked back at the three people in the room, and thought about it, she shouldn't be a person with evil intentions, right? If you are hostile to them, you can poison the meal at night, that's all, what bad intentions can a little girl in the mountains have.

Qiao'er took Ma Chengfeng and ran out of the mountain, and there was no one in the stilted buildings passing by left and right, and there was not a single lamp. She seems to be familiar with this road, and she can run down with her eyes closed. After running down the mountain, there was a low bush in front of her, she held Ma Chengfeng down and let him hide in, and pointed out the bushes and made a gesture to close her voice.

"Brother Ma, where do you look?" Ma Chengfeng looked in the direction of her finger, and saw that there was a clearing in front of him, the clearing was spread evenly around the area, not a single inch of grass grows, and there was an old banyan tree in the middle, this old banyan tree grew extremely luxuriantly, and the branches and crowns were a little exaggerated, definitely more than the one they saw at the entrance of the old witch cave.

The old banyan tree was covered with strips of red cloth, the strips of red cloth moved with the wind, and it was pitch black under the tree, but it seemed that a few figures were shaking, because the distance was a little far, and Ma Chengfeng couldn't see what was going on under the tree.

"See?" Qiao'er asked him.

"Big sister, what are you letting me see? Isn't it okay to have nothing in this black light? Ma Chengfeng stood up from under the bushes and wanted to take two more steps forward to see what was going on. Qiao'er hurriedly dragged him down again.

"Don't go, if you are found, you will die, you will be immersed in the pig cage! Don't bother them! Her body trembled slightly.

Ma Chengfeng has a pair of night vision eyes and ghost pupils, and he is worried that he can't see at night because of the light? He silently recited the mantra in his heart, closed his eyes tightly, and then opened his eyes suddenly, and suddenly, two dark green rays of light shot out, like a cat's eye, taking in all the scenes and objects within a kilometer.

"Brother Ma...... You...... Your eyes...... Eye? "Qiao'er was frightened, how could I have ever seen this! I was scared to pee by Ma Chengfeng.

"Don't be afraid, my eyes are like this, they belong to a kind of ability." When Ma Chengfeng opened his ghost pupils, he saw that there were people standing under the big banyan tree not far away, there were seventy or eighty people, all of them were old and young in the Linghua Village, and they were circling around the big banyan tree one by one, and they didn't know what they were doing. The steps under their feet are very stiff, one after the other, and the joints of the lower limbs do not seem to bend, and the steps go straight up and down, which looks very strange.

"See?"

"This ...... This is all from your Linghua Village...... Clansman? What's wrong with them? Did you get caught up in a ghost? How do you behave this weirdly? Those old and young people in Linghua Village were circling around the old banyan tree with stiff steps, and they seemed to be muttering something softly in their mouths, but because the distance was too far, Ma Chengfeng couldn't hear it.

"That tree is the tree god that our Linghua Village has worshiped for thousands of years, and they will come to hold this kind of sacrifice every night, hoping that the tree god can bless our village with peace. But when they fall for the night, the spirits fall into a deep sleep, completely mechanical, and it is the tree god who guides them to complete the ritual. Look at the trees. Qiao'er reminded him.

Qiao'er didn't say that Ma Chengfeng's attention was almost all focused on those Linghuazhai people who behaved strangely, as soon as she said this, Ma Chengfeng took a closer look, and suddenly gasped, the huge old banyan tree was tied to countless dead corpses, most of those corpses had become dried corpses, they were dry and hard, only skin and bones remained, but their faces still left a hideous expression before death.

"Oh my God!! This...... Are these corpses also sacrificed alive to the god of the tree? Ma Chengfeng asked.

"No, those are the Falling Flower Cave Girl, the customs of our Linghua Village are different from the Miao people, the Falling Flower Cave Girl must be tied to the tree and sacrificed to the tree god, this is a living sacrifice! I...... It may not be long before you become one of them! The tears in Qiao'er's eyes kept rolling, no matter how devout she was to her beliefs, who would want to die?

"Confused, these are all bad habits, how can a living person dedicate his life to the tree god? Besides, who has ever seen the god of trees? Isn't it just a big tree? Plant! Do plants understand? It's lifeless! No, I'll go and tell your grandfather tomorrow, and if he doesn't agree, I'll take you away by force, and no one can stop me!" Ma Chengfeng said angrily.

"Be quiet, be quiet, and don't let grandpa hear them." Qiao'er was afraid that Ma Chengfeng's shouting would be too loud and attract those clansmen who were like walking corpses. "The tree god is really alive, if it weren't for the blessing of the tree god, our village would have been ruined long ago. Brother Ma, I just want to tell you that this is Qiao'er's life, and you can't change it! Qiao'er also wants to be like you and Sister Chu, and go south and north to see all the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, but if I leave, what will my people do? They'll be cursed by the Dryad! Qiao'er said very sincerely, it is not difficult to hear from her words, in fact, she doesn't want to die, but no matter how powerful her great benefactor Ma Chengfeng is, he is also a layman, and he has never been able to compare with the supreme immortal method of the tree god.

"Isn't that right? You say they come here every night for the rituals, and they do it all in a state of sleepwalking, unconscious? Have their souls been summoned by the dryads? What about you? Aren't you good? ”
