Everyone's eyes were focused on Granny Tianhua.
Granny Tianhua stared silently at the cave woman in front of her.
The Luodong Woman had a smile on her face: "Grandma Tianhua, don't you think your words are stupid? I am the Luodong Woman of Miaojiang, the messenger of God. Everything I do is in accordance with the will of God. Only I know what God wants."
Having said this, Luodongnu paused for a moment, and looked around at the Miao people around her: "If you think what I did is wrong, then you are doubting the gods. And those who doubt the gods will be punished."
Granny Tianhua snorted coldly, "Luodongnu, you still want to deceive these innocent Miao people. They have suffered enough from you over the years. They used to live a peaceful life without fighting with the world, but you are forcing them. You said that the gods need sacrifices and the bodies of babies, but that is just to satisfy your own selfish desires."
"Don't think I don't know that those dead children who became your sacrifices did not rest in peace at all, but were eaten by you. I don't know if what I said is true. This is your first crime - you spread rumors in the name of the gods and deceived the people, making it difficult for the souls of those babies to be liberated."
The incident that Granny Tianhua mentioned happened in recent years.
In recent years, Luodongnv has not only asked the people in the surrounding Miao villages to donate money in the name of the gods, but also asked them to sacrifice the bodies of children who died of illness to the gods. After the bodies of those children were sacrificed, they would be taken to Luohua Cave to worship the gods.
The smile on Luodong Woman's face disappeared, and turned cold. She asked, "Grandma Tianhua, although you have a high reputation in Miaojiang, you can't just say something you don't know. Do you have any evidence for what you said? You said that I ate the bodies of the children sacrificed by the Miao people. Where is your evidence?"
Granny Tianhua sneered, "Dongnu, the evidence is in your Donghua Cave. I believe that many of the souls of those babies have turned into ghosts. The people around me are all Taoists who catch ghosts. As long as we enter your Donghua Cave, we can summon the souls of those babies. Do you think this counts as evidence?"
The woman's face turned ugly.
The Miao people standing around also had angry looks on their faces.
Those people knew about the sacrifice of babies. Every year, babies under one year old who had just died in the Miao village would be sacrificed to the gods. And Luodong Nv said that the families who sacrificed babies would be protected by the gods. So those families would bear the grief and send the bodies of their babies to Luohua Cave.
The baby mentioned here refers to a corpse, not a living person.
But after listening to Grandma Tianhua's words today, the Miao people realized that something was wrong.
If it was really as Granny Xiaohua said, then these Miao people not only did not send their children to the gods, but harmed their own children. The Miao people knew that people have souls, and the soul is different from the body. Once the body is destroyed, the soul will not be at peace.
The Miao people started to make a fuss, angrily questioning the woman who fell into the cave what was going on.
The woman in the cave looked calm and said, "You mortals don't understand the will of the gods at all. You only disobey the orders of the gods. The gods are supreme, and you should not doubt them."
The goddess Luodong's mumbling words suppressed the noisy voices of the Miao people.

The mother-in-law ignored Luodong Nv's words and continued, "Your second crime is that you have done great harm to others and murdered your own flesh and blood."
"Today I learned that you, Luodongnu, actually ordered my sister, Chimu Po Po, to raise zombies, and those zombies did not die of natural causes. Those zombies were all from our Miao village, and you killed them cruelly."
"I know you won't admit what I'm saying now. Well, I'll prove it to you with the evidence I found a few months ago."
Then Granny Tianhua took out a handkerchief from her bosom.
The handkerchief was white, and I didn't know what kind of silk it was made of, but it looked very delicate. And on the edge of the white handkerchief were embroidered three words: Luodongnu.
When she saw the handkerchief, Luodongnu's face changed: "Where did you get that handkerchief?"
The woman's face became very unnatural.
Grandma Tianhua smiled and put the handkerchief away: "I got this handkerchief when I was tracking a man in black one night a few months ago. At that time, the man in black killed a Miao in the woods and was about to leave with the Miao's body."
"At that time, I fought with the person in black. Her witchcraft was very powerful and I was no match for her. However, when she left, she did not notice that one of her handkerchiefs fell there. When I saw the handkerchief, I knew that the person in black was none other than you, the Cave Girl."
"This handkerchief is evidence, and there are two other people who can prove it."
Then Granny Tianhua pushed Granny Chimu and Ge Liang out.
"They are the proof. Let them tell us what's going on."
Granny Chimu lowered her head, not daring to look at Luodong Nv or Granny Tianhua. Ge Liang, who was standing at the side, had his shoulders trembling slightly, and a look of anxiety in his eyes.
Granny Chimu lowered her voice and said to Granny Tianhua, "Sister, don't go against Luodong Nv. You can't beat her."
Granny Tianhua ignored Granny Chimu's words and shouted, "Chimu, tell me everything you know. Do you still want me to take everyone to your stilt house? There are a lot of zombies lying there. Do you want everyone to identify who those zombies are one by one?"
Sweat had appeared on Grandma Chimu's forehead and her face was as pale as paper.
Ge Liang, the son of Chimu Po Po, who was standing on the side, could not resist any longer.
With a "click", Ge Liang fell to his knees.
He said hastily: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything—"
But as soon as he said this, the woman in the cave in the distance became unhappy.
The cave girl shouted, "Ge Tian, what do you want to say?"
The voice of the woman falling into the cave was not loud, but it pierced Ge Tian fiercely like a needle.
For a moment, Ge Tian didn't know whether he should say it or not.
Granny Tianhua straightened her head and stared at Luodong Nv: "Luodong Nv, what's wrong? Do you want to kill someone in front of us?!"
The woman's gaze was as sharp as a knife, and the violent emotions on her face were clearly revealed.
"Grandma Smallpox, it seems that you came here today to oppose me. However, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so. As for what you said, I have no idea what you are talking about, so I will not admit it. I am doing everything according to the will of God, so I am not wrong."
It seems that this cave girl is completely indifferent and doesn't listen to anything.
I don't see the words of the smallpox grandmother.
Lou Xiaoman, who was standing on the side, couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "You damn woman, how do you explain why my apprentice Zhao Xilan appeared here? It's obvious that you kidnapped her and brought her here."
But after listening to Lou Xiaoman's words, Luodongnu laughed disdainfully: "It's ridiculous, stupid woman, you said this girl is your disciple, then she is your disciple. I also said that this person is not your disciple, but someone that the gods value."
At this point, Luodongnu turned to Zhao Xilan, who was standing there in a daze, and asked, "Tell me, was it the gods who left you here? If so, just nod your head."
Zhao Xilan looked dull and nodded without any hesitation.
I watched from a distance and it seemed as if Zhao Xilan had lost her soul. But her soul was indeed in her body.
I am a ghost-catching Taoist priest, you can't fool me about this. However, she stood there motionless, expressionless, as if she was in a state of neurosis.
That's a bit scary.
"Hehe, you see, she admitted it herself. She said that she was chosen by the gods to stay here. Otherwise, wouldn't she, a living person with hands and feet, have left long ago?"
Lou Xiaoman naturally didn't believe what the woman from the cave said, so she tried to rush towards Zhao Xilan again.
But as soon as Lou Xiaoman rushed to Luodongnv and Zhao Xilan, Zhao Xilan raised her head.
What scared Lou Xiaoman was that Zhao Xilan's eyes turned red at this time. The red was bright and looked like the color of blood, as if blood was about to drip out of her eye sockets.
"Get out of here! This is not the place for you."
The woman who fell into the cave raised her hand and threw something towards Lou Xiaoman.
Lou Xiaoman reacted quickly, and the Yin-Yang Mirror was instantly filled with the energy of Yin De.
Then a yellow light burst out.
"Gaga ga!" A few screams.
After the yellow light disappeared, something the size of a bug fell to the ground.
The thing was curled up into a ball and looked like a medicinal herb - Cordyceps sinensis.
"It's a poisonous insect! Master Lou, please be careful."
Zhang Chu stood aside and gave a reminder.
After killing the poisonous insect, Lou Xiaoman stepped on the Gang Step and rushed towards where Zhao Xilan was.
But before she got close to Zhao Xilan, several more poisonous insects flew towards Lou Xiaoman.
The poisonous insect made no sound and was silent.
But soon, those poisonous insects turned into smoke and turned into "Cordyceps sinensis" and fell to the ground.
But what Lou Xiaoman didn't expect was that just when she was about to get close to Zhao Xilan, the poisonous insects that had fallen to the ground came back to life. The poisonous insects had no wings and could not fly, but they changed the curvature of their bodies to become a bow shape and flew towards Lou Xiaoman.
In the distance, Granny Tianhua reminded, "That should be the 'corpse worm'. It is not afraid of fire, but is very afraid of the cold. You can use the 'cold light talisman' of your ghost-catching Taoist priests to deal with them."
Time was running out and there was no time for Lou Xiaoman to think.
Seeing the poisonous insects flying towards her, Lou Xiaoman randomly took out a cold talisman from her cloth bag, chanted a spell, and threw it out.
Under the stimulation of the magic spell and the good karma, the talisman instantly emitted several rays of light.
Those rays of light carried a chill and collided directly with the poisonous insects that were rushing up.
