Chapter 286 Tell me your wish!

"Great Immortal, I am Ma San from Xihe Village. I pray that you will bless me to become rich, and it would be best if I could marry another... no, marry several young and beautiful wives..."

A skinny middle-aged man with patches all over his body, was lying on the ground with his butt sticking out, kowtowing repeatedly to the mountain ghost in the hall.

After hearing his prayer, the mountain ghost did not say whether he would agree or not.

Ma San still knew the rules. He immediately took out a chicken from his arms and held it high above his head.

"Great Immortal, I would like to offer a chicken as a sacrifice."

He already knew that praying in the Great Immortal Temple required sacrifices.

However, his family was poor and he had always been a tenant farmer. After paying the rent, the grain he earned from the land every year was not even enough to fill his stomach.

Whenever there is a shortage of food, we have to go into the mountains to find some wild vegetables and grass roots to survive.

He stole this chicken from the owner's house.

However, the mountain ghost was not satisfied with his offering and said coldly, "Not enough."

Ma San was immediately sweating profusely.

He also knew that it was unrealistic to exchange a chicken for happiness in the second half of his life and body.

He gritted his teeth and kowtowed, saying, "Please tell me, Great Immortal, what kind of sacrifice should I offer to make these wishes come true?"

The mountain ghost put forward conditions.

"I want your mother's heart, the blood of your future relatives, and your soul after you die."

"This……"

Ma San's face suddenly changed.

He didn’t know where his relatives were in the future, so he had no idea.

As for the soul after death, it doesn’t matter.

But his mother's heart...

Ma San lost his father at an early age and was raised by his mother.

He also thought that when he became rich and lived a good life, he would definitely be filial to his mother and let her live out her life in peace.

But now, if he wants to realize his wish, he must offer his mother's heart.

Ma San subconsciously refused.

But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.

His desire for wealth and many wives and concubines put him in a struggle.

Ma San didn't see that after he made his wish, the evil energy around him rushed into his body frantically.

His desire grew stronger, overwhelming his reason and his love and filial piety for his mother.

After a few breaths, Ma San's eyes turned red.

Like a wild beast, panting,
“As long as the immortal can bless me to be rich and have many wives and concubines… I am willing to offer my mother’s heart, the blood of my future relatives, and even my soul after death!

My mother's lifelong wish is that I can live a good life. She will be happy to sacrifice her heart for my future! As for my relatives, they should also help me solve my problems! "

Seeing that Ma San agreed to the sacrifice, the mountain ghost raised his hand and gently scratched his rotten body.

A stream of yellow and red blood mixed with pus flew out from the rotten flesh and into Ma San's mouth.

"The contract is established! You will get a windfall when you return, but you must send your mother's heart to me within three days. Otherwise, you will be punished!"

Ma San's bloodshot eyes were blurry.

In his eyes, what he swallowed was not pus and blood, but nectar.

It’s a gift from the immortals!

"Thank you, Great Immortal, thank you, Great Immortal, hahahaha... After I, Ma San, go back, I will be able to make a fortune and get married..."

Ma San grinned and kowtowed repeatedly, he was as happy as a madman.

When Shang Lu and others saw this, they also discovered that the sacrifice the mountain ghost demanded was related to the wishes put forward by the believers.

The bigger the wish and the more one demands, the more bizarre the corresponding sacrifice will be.

The sacrifices that mountain ghosts require are basically related to blood.

From the ordinary three animals, to human flesh and blood, to beloved relatives and friends.

However, those who come to the Daxian Temple to pray have already been blinded by evil spirits and murderous auras as soon as they enter the temple.

All that was left in their hearts was desire.

Even if the mountain ghost's offer made them hesitate, it was only for a short moment. In the end, the desire in their hearts would drive them to abandon their wives and children and kill their fathers and mothers.

Even for those who have not made big wishes, after the immortals appear and fulfill their wishes time and time again, the desires in their hearts will become bigger and bigger.

In the end, they will also be consumed by their own desires!
Just like the person in the crowd who is wearing a bamboo hat, a face scarf and carrying a bamboo basket.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the mountain ghost respectfully: "Great Immortal, the good man Hong Zhi is here to fulfill his vow and offer a sacrifice."

He put down the backpack and uncovered the black cloth wrapped around it, revealing two children.

No longer breathing.

There was a morbid excitement in the man's tone.

"Thank you, Great Immortal, for helping me realize my wish. You wanted one of my children, so I killed both of them and sent them to you..."

He looked like he was seeking credit.

The mountain ghost only wanted one of his children as a sacrifice, but he sent both of his children, trying to please the mountain ghost so that he could make a new wish.

However, instead of receiving praise from the mountain ghost, he was scolded.

"Idiot! I want a living baby. What's the point of you bringing two dead children?"

"Ah? This..."

The man was shocked when he heard this. The pride and desire for credit in his heart disappeared in an instant, leaving only fear. He kowtowed repeatedly until his head was broken and bleeding.

"Great Immortal, please forgive me, Great Immortal, please forgive me..."

The mountain ghost did not forgive him.

"Since the offerings are not enough, I will use you to make up for it."

Hearing this, the man was shocked.

He quickly got up from the ground, turned around and ran outside.

The more he ran, the lighter he felt.

Something was falling from his body with a rustling sound.

His body became unstable due to the falling of these things and he fell down with a thump.

At this moment, this person saw that what was falling from his body was actually flesh and blood.

His body seemed to decay and melt in an instant.

"no no……"

The man wanted to beg for mercy, but his face began to melt and fall off, his tongue and teeth all fell out, and he could no longer make a sound.

A cloud of blood mist grew from his body, wrapping up his fallen flesh and internal organs and sending them into the hall, where they were sucked clean by the strange mouths that covered the mountain ghost's body.

This man's experience made the believers in the Great Immortal Temple tremble with fear.

But no one ran away.

I just felt that this guy deserved it as he couldn't even prepare a sacrifice.

Next, several more people expressed their wishes.

Some people prepared the offerings in advance, while others, like Ma San, needed to go back and prepare the offerings and wait until the next time to offer them.

Soon it was the turn of Shang Lu and the other three.

In the main hall, the mountain ghost turned his gaze to Shang Lu, who was lying on the ground with his head close to the ground.

Its voice is extremely bewitching.

"Say your wish."

Shang Lu knew very well that making a wish to the mountain ghost was full of weirdness.

Making a wish lightly may bring you into trouble.

But if you don’t make a wish, the mountain ghost will become suspicious.

"Why don't you speak?"

"If you have no wishes, what are you doing here?"

In the main hall, dozens of strange mouths on the mountain ghosts opened at the same time.

A pair of blood-red vertical pupils appeared in the mouth, staring at Shang Lu closely.

It seemed to capture his soul and take away his spirit!
Take a good look at him.
