C861 Treading Village
In a small village in Backyard Mountain, an old man with a chicken crown was standing in front of a statue with hundreds of people. He had a solemn expression on his face as he ordered.
The divine statue was over a hundred meters tall, and it was built according to the legendary Ancient Deity's Dharma Image. It was mighty and imposing.
There was an altar under the statue, and there were incense offerings, fruits, and meat on it.
"Chief, we have been worshipping the gods for so many years, but now, war is still happening. Our Tata Village is also constantly plagued by bandits and robbers. This... Is it useful?
Gods, can you really protect our Tata Village? "
Below, a villager from Tata Village looked at Old Village Head who was standing under the statue with a hesitant expression.
The rest of the villagers from the Tata Village were also filled with doubt.
That's right!
After worshipping the gods for so many years, the Tata Village was still suffering from torture. It was also frequently harassed by some bandits. As a result, everyone in the village had a hard time living.
Originally, there were more than ten thousand villagers in Tata Village, but now, only a few hundred of them were left, whether they were dead or fled.
Was worshipping a god useful?
"Worship us sincerely, the gods will protect us."
Old Village Head replied.
Below, the hundreds of villagers of Tata Village did not say anything else. Old Village Head had a very important position in their hearts.
Over the years, if it wasn't for Old Village Head taking them all the way to hide, they would have already lost their lives in the war.
"Listen to me, everyone, kneel down."
Old Village Head continued.
The leader knelt down in front of the statue that had been left behind. The rest of the hundreds of Tata Village villagers also knelt down.
"From now on, bow..."
Old Village Head shouted.
Rumble ~
In the sky, a ball of white light suddenly fell down and shattered the altar in front of the statue.
The white ball of light caused a strong wind to blow up, and sent Old Village Head, who was about to kowtow and kowtow, flying away. Many villagers of Tata Village were also blown away by the strong wind. Their buttocks fell to the ground, and they cried out in pain.
"Ouch! But it hurts so much. My old bones... are about to break!"
Old Village Head complained incessantly. He staggered to his feet and rubbed his aching back.
A young man from the Tata Village immediately supported Old Village Head from the side. His face was full of worry, afraid that something would happen to Old Village Head.
The rest of the villagers from the Tata Village also stood up in a sorry state. Immediately, they looked at the white ball of light that suddenly fell from the sky. Their faces were full of surprise.
"The Divine Immortal has shown his spirit, the Divine Immortal has shown his spirit!"
Old Village Head shouted excitedly.
In his heart, he was sure that it must be them who had prayed to him with sincerity for so many years. They had moved the heavens and sent down the Divine Immortal who had come to save his Tata Village.
"Everyone, kneel down and worship each other with sincerity."
Old Village Head immediately called out to them. He was the first to kneel down in front of the white ball of light. The shocked and bewildered Tata Village villagers did not think too much about it. They immediately knelt down again with unprecedented sincerity.
The white ball of light slowly dissipated and revealed Ye Lan, Heavenly Devil Sovereign, Mu Qingyan, Zhu Yun and Loong Xiao.
When they appeared, they saw the Tata Village villagers who were kowtowing devoutly and mumbling something. Each and every one of them was stunned.
"What... what did we encounter?"
Heavenly Devil Sovereign looked at the hundreds of Tata Village villagers who were kowtowing devoutly and had a confused look on his face.
"They should be worshipping God!"
Ye Lan looked at the hundred-meter tall statue behind him and immediately understood that it was very likely that they would accidentally barge into the place where others were worshipping God.
"Worshipping God? Is there still a God in this world? This bunch of foolish people is truly incurable! "
Heavenly Devil Sovereign said in a strange tone.
"Ye Zhu, let's leave this place first."
On the side, Zhu Yun suggested.
"Alright."
Ye Lan nodded and was about to leave Tata Village with Heavenly Devil Sovereign and the other three.
Below, Old Village Head immediately shouted, "Immortal God, don't leave! Immortal God, don't leave! Please save the people of Tata Village!"
"What's going on?"
Ye Lan stopped in his tracks and looked at Old Village Head.
"Are the Immortal God sent by the heavens?"
"No."
"Why did those few Immortal God come to our Tata Village to worship the gods?"
0
"It was just an accident."
"Misstep?"
Old Village Head was stunned. He initially thought that Ye Lan and the other three were sent by the Heavens to save their Immortal God. Who knew that they weren't sent by the Heavens to save them?
However, when he thought about it, Ye Lan and his friends had descended from the sky. They were no different from the Immortal God, they must have extraordinary means.
Therefore, regardless of whether Ye Lan and his friends were sent by the Heavens to save them or not, he quickly stepped forward and kneeled on the ground.
"Immortal God, please come to Tata Village and enjoy some delicious food. How about it?"
"We have some important matters to attend to here, so we don't have time to waste."
"We won't delay any longer. You can rest assured."
"Ye Zhu, time is of the essence. We still have to go to Demon Emperor's remains!"
"There's no rush for now. There's something in this village!"
Ye Lan replied.
He could feel the Divine Devil Pagoda in his Sea of consciousness trembling. Obviously, there was a Devil God Pagoda Fragment in the Tata Village.
"Elder, please rise. Let's go into the village and have a chat."
Ye Lan smiled and helped Old Village Head up.
Old Village Head was overjoyed and quickly called the villagers to prepare good wine and delicious dishes. He took Ye Lan and the others all the way to his house.
Tata Village was very poor.
Because of the constant war, the villagers had to hide and run all the way in order to avoid the war. Each of the villagers did not have any good wine or food in their homes, such as steamed buns, pickled vegetables, porridge, and so on. This was the best thing that all the villagers could provide.
Ye Lan and the others even saw that the residences of these Tata Village villagers were simple and crude thatched huts. They belonged to the kind of existences that would collapse instantly if a strong wind blew.
"Immortal God, don't mind it. These mantous, pickled vegetables, fruits, and so on are the most delicious food that our Tata Village can provide. Feel free to taste them."
Old Village Head's house was also extremely simple and crude. The house wasn't big, and could barely accommodate five or six people.
Hundreds of Tata Village villagers were surrounding this small thatched house. It was surrounded by three floors, three floors, and three floors. Each of them looked through the window at Ye Lan and the other three people in the house with shining eyes.
Some of the children in Tata Village stared at the 'delicacy' on the table with their big black eyes. They could not help but swallow their saliva.
They really wanted to eat those sweet and delicious steamed buns, but their master had warned them that those were food prepared for the Immortal God. They could not eat them as they pleased!
Ye Lan looked around and saw the children of Tata Village. They were all yellow and skinny, malnourished, and in poor health.
Some of the villagers in Tata Village also looked the same.
Obviously, the war not only brought them death, but also despair and indescribable pain.
"Chief, let the children in the village eat these!"
Ye Lan admitted that he was not a saviour or a kind person, but he was also not a vicious person.
People's hearts were made of flesh. Who in the world could be truly heartless?
Looking at those withered and skinny children of Tata Village, Ye Lan really couldn't bear to eat the 'delicacy' that their village had gathered.
"This..."
Old Village Head was in a dilemma. In his heart, he was hesitating.
"Let him f * cking eat it. This sovereign cannot eat these things."
Heavenly Devil Sovereign said with a domineering expression.
Old Village Head immediately nodded his head and ordered the villagers in the village to give the 'delicacy' on the table to the children in the village.
"I don't know, chief. How did your Tata Village end up in such a poor state?"
Ye Lan asked.
"Immortal God, there's something you don't know. Originally, our Tata Village was also a rich village. There were more than ten thousand villagers in the past.
Unfortunately, ever since the war started, our Tata Village has been growing year by year.
During these years of war, the villagers of Tata Village have either died or fled. There are only a few hundred of them left.
In addition, the war has been going on for many years, and bandits have been running amok. Also, our Tata Village has been constantly harassed by bandits, causing us to be in such a poor place."
Old Village Head spoke tirelessly. His heart was filled with sorrow and pain.
"Isn't the Li Family the ruler? They don't care about your lives?"
"Why would they care about our lives? The Li Clan has always been unreasonable and overbearing. They have already shown mercy by not bullying us! "
Old Village Head let out a bitter sigh.
"Chief, it's not good, it's not good! Those bandits are here again!"
Ye Lan and the others were discussing the situation in Giant Spirit Star when suddenly, a panicked cry of a villager from Tata Village could be heard from outside the house.
Old Village Head's expression changed drastically when he heard the bandits coming. All the villagers of Tata Village also changed their expressions drastically, and they felt terrified in their hearts.
