C1461 Cataclysm(part I)

As soon as the word "disaster" came out of his mouth, the entire hall fell into silence. Everyone felt a chill invading their bodies and minds, causing them to involuntarily shudder. Furthermore, their gazes were fixated on the seemingly mysterious Lin Bai.

The place was silent. The only sound that could be heard was the mountain breeze blowing in the crowd.

"What? Is there anyone among you who doesn't believe me?" Seeing the mountain people's reactions, the expression on Lin Bai's face became increasingly strange, and his words carried a hint of anger. In addition, the black Qi coming out from the soles of his feet was also becoming denser, as if it was going to pounce onto the surrounding mountain people at any moment.

"I dare not …" "We don't dare …" Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, those villagers immediately shook their heads like a rattle drum. After the incident with the old chief, who would dare to doubt if Lin Bai was possessed by his ancestors?

In their opinion, if not for their ancestors' possession, how would they know where the Old Village Head hid the money even if they were gods or buddhas? Moreover, they would also be able to say out every single word about the money.

Not to mention this, every single person's heart was filled with hidden secrets. At this critical juncture, who dared to make Lin Bai speak again? If they were to pour out all the secrets hidden in their hearts, it was likely that no one would be able to stand it. Perhaps, they would end up like the old chief and end up like a bunch of traitors. This was something that they did not wish to see.

"Old Ancestor, what exactly is the calamity that you spoke of? All these years, we have not done anything to let down our ancestors' gods, so why would such a disaster befall us? " The Old Patriarch knew very well that this was his only chance to regain his former dignity. Before the villagers could react, he rushed towards Lin Bai, trembling with fear.

"Didn't do anything? I'm afraid only you all know. " Her voice was sharp and piercing, and after seeing that everyone was looking at each other in dismay, she laughed coldly, "Since all of you did not do anything shameful, then why did I entrust to Mu Mu to help you change the Feng Shui of the ancestral grave, but no one helped him? It seems to me that you guys are planning to turn us, the ancestors of this world, into wraiths that pester you all day and night! "

There was a threatening tone in his words, especially the ghostly tone, which scared the villagers out of their wits, causing their spirits to soar to the heavens. No matter who it was, who would want to be surrounded by ghosts all day and all night long?!

"Ancestor, ah, it's not that we have something on our mind, it's that …" When the old Patriarch heard this, he wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say. Just as what Lin Bai had said, the reason why they were still suspicious after so many children's songs and matters had been revealed was because they didn't trust Lin Bai and felt that he was an outsider, not to mention that he wasn't trustworthy either.

"Old Yuan, then tell me, it's not because of my reasons, but because of what?" Without waiting for the old chief to finish speaking, Lin Bai interrupted him with a sneer on his face. Then, he slowly raised his head, and with a gaze like ice, he swept a cold glance across the villagers and said, "I think that all of you have something on your minds. I think it's not enough for me to come out on this trip. I have to get your ancestors to come out and take a look at you unfilial descendants! "

To let a ghost come out and visit again, this matter was enough to scare people to death, if a few more came, wouldn't that mean that this little life of his would be scared out of half, and that he would be haunted by ghosts all day long, how would he earn his living?!

"Ancestor, please forgive us. We'll change it right now. Can't we just be more obedient?" When they heard these words, the surrounding villagers all fell to their knees, kowtowing to Lin Bai incessantly. There were even some who had tears streaming down their faces.

"It's good that you know you're wrong." Seeing the actions of these villagers, it was as if the divine spirit of the ancestors that had rested their hopes on Lin Bai finally calmed down a little. His gaze was no longer that pressing, and he said earnestly:

"What are we doing this for? We are all lonely ghosts. What else can we think about? What we are thinking in our hearts is only so that you descendants can live a better life and not have any disasters. Furthermore, if not for the fact that all of you have been extremely respectful to your ancestors and have sincerely paid your respects to them, why would we have needed to spend so much time to persuade you? "

If the first part was a threat of imminent crisis, then the words he had just said were like the elder's earnest words of warning. Moreover, the hatred he had for the elder and the sense of anger for his misfortune were extremely deep, causing the villagers to feel extremely ashamed.

That's right, if the ancestor gods hadn't pitied them, how could so many things have happened? To put it bluntly, the goal was to allow the younger generation to live a better life, so that their days would not be too difficult.

What did these people do? Not only did they not believe the ancestor spirit's words, but they were also worried. They would be suspicious of the ancestor spirit's words. If he were to change his heart into a divine being from the ancestor, it was likely that he would have long since descended into anger. However, not only did his ancestors not get angry, they even patiently taught them …

After comparing the two of them, the mountain villagers were already sobbing and kneeling on the ground, not stopping at all …

"Ah Run, Brother Mu Mu won't really be possessed by the ancestors' god, right?" If not for the fact that he knew of those children's songs, which were spread out by Lin Bai using his own mouth, he would probably be as grateful and sniveling as the villagers after he saw the old chief appear.

However, what he did not understand was that he had been following closely behind Lin Bai for the past few days and had never seen him near the old patriarch's house. Why was he hiding money from the old patriarch even more clearly than the son of the old patriarch?

Could it be that he had thought wrongly before, that Brother Mu had truly been possessed by the ancestors' gods?!

"I don't know either." A'Run slowly shook his head. His eyes were filled with confusion. He looked at Lin Bai helplessly and said slowly, "Perhaps it's true. Otherwise, how would Brother Mu know so much?"

However, if one were to carefully look at Ah Run's expression, they would discover that there was a trace of craftiness hidden deep within the little girl's eyes when she said those words. This was not because she was meticulous, but because she secretly gave Lin Bai a look that seemed like she was watching a good show just before she went crazy.

The reason why she didn't tell Rock the truth was because she felt that Brother Mu was hiding something from so many people. Although Stone was also a very reliable person, it was still better to keep some things from him. There was no such thing as a wall without wind. The less one knew about the inside story, the less likely it was that a secret would be leaked. And once the secret was leaked, all of Lin Bai's previous hard work would have been in vain.

Furthermore, when Lin Bai revealed the matter of the Patriarch hiding the money, it also caused the little girl to be taken aback. One must know that for the past few days, she had always been by Lin Bai's side, never having seen him even half a step closer to the Old Patriarch's residence. She really couldn't understand how Lin Bai would know about this matter. Furthermore, he would be able to tell her the exact amount of the money he received.

However, according to little A-Wen's understanding of Lin Bai, coaxing people around was definitely an easy task. Moreover, in these past few days, there were too many things happening to a silly wood brother like her, so she didn't care if there were one or two more.

And the most important thing was that for the little lass, Ah Run, these things should be a secret between her and Lin Bai, and could only be shared by her and Lin Bai. With one more person, there would be no difference between her and Lin Bai.

"It must be true! Otherwise, how could he be so powerful? " After hearing what A-Wen said, Shi's heart was in turmoil. After looking at Lin Bai's face a few times, he hurriedly lowered his head, almost burying his head in the ground.

"Ancestor, please tell us what we did wrong, and what do you want us to do? We will do as you say!" Tears streamed down the old patriarch's face as he patted his chest. It was as if his words from before had returned to normal. He said, "As long as I can treat the stronghold well, I won't frown even if I am told to ascend the mountain and descend the sea of fire!"

His words were righteous to the extreme. It was as if he was not the one who had put his wife's life on the line for the sake of saving money, even though he was much stronger than Grandet.

"What happened? Why is it so lively?" Just as everyone in the training field was engrossed in their desire to hear Lin Bai's instructions, a voice that seemed to contradict the environment suddenly came from within the training field.

Hearing this, the surrounding villagers immediately turned their heads towards the direction of the sound. It was unknown when Grandma Zhu had quietly stood at the periphery of the crowd, looking at Lin Bai with a smile that was not a smile.

"Grandma Zhu, you're finally here!" As soon as the old patriarch saw Grandma Zhu, it was as if he had seen his savior. He hastily rushed over and looked at Lin Bai with awe in his eyes. He said in a low voice, "Wood has been possessed by the ancestors!"

"Has he been possessed by the ancestors' gods?" Upon hearing this, Madam Zhu could not help but laugh. She then looked at Lin Bai and asked the chief, "How do you know that he was possessed by the ancestors' divine powers?"

Hearing Grandma Zhu's words, the old patriarch blushed and began to stutter. He had finally built up some prestige in front of the crowd, and he really did not want to repeat his shameful story again.

"So that's how it is! It seems like this is truly the possession of an ancestor's spirit! " Although the old chief was unwilling to say it, what he was willing to say was that there were plenty of people present, so he told Grandma Zhu everything that had just happened.

When the old demoness heard this, she was stunned for a moment. Then, to everyone's surprise, she suddenly knelt down and kowtowed. Her appearance was as pious as it could be!
