Chapter 172: Xiling's Secrets, Tracing the Years

After mastering the spell that belonged to the witch god, Murong Changqing was like a fish in water in Xiling, and it was difficult for anything to threaten her.

And what I have to do now is to protect myself, and find a way to release the news and join Lu Heming.

Mai Mendong and Impatiens, who are more familiar with the terrain, are eyeing us in the dark.

The three of us are their biggest enemies, and now I am the biggest weakness.

Therefore, it is highly likely that they lurk in the shadows and find a way to destroy me......

And the only thing I can do now is to save my life and find a way to meet Lu Heming first.

With Tianyin by my side, casting a spell for me, at least my safety can be guaranteed.

I asked Tianyin, "Where are you going next?" ”

"When we were born, we witches had already set a course in the dark. In the coming week, I will go to a nearby town to heal the people in the town. ”

"A week later, follow the town all the way north, and reach the World Divine Tree in half a month."

In another week, the Xiling Earth Qi accumulated in my body will probably be able to dissipate cleanly, and when the time comes, I will have the power to protect myself, and it will be no big problem to be separated from Tianyin.

Referring to this, Tian Yin said worriedly: "But I can't use witchcraft now, even if I stay in the town, I can't help everyone." ”

"It's okay, I'll teach you Taoism, and it's okay to cure diseases and save people."

"For seven days, I hope you and I will support each other......"

It was only ten miles away from the town, and at the speed of Mo Ruyi, it was only about ten minutes, but Tianyin was so stubborn that he had to walk.

He said that the night he spent in the hut with me had broken the rules of the witch god, and that he must follow the rules in the future.

I couldn't help it, so I had to sit in a wheelchair and follow him slowly.

……

The market town in the forbidden land of Xiling is not the same as I imagined.

It covers two mountains, with a radius of nearly twenty miles, dotted with all kinds of wooden houses, the structure is the same as most of Miao Xiangwen's, and there are inscriptions on the outside that I can't understand.

The distance between the houses is more than a mile, and the surrounding mountains and forests are surrounded by wild animals, and occasionally hunters wearing animal skins and holding spears hurried by, and did not greet each other.

The Xiling people who live here are like beasts that live alone, wary of each other and do not invade each other.

Their vigilance is so strong, it must be that it will not be so easy to spend the night tonight.

I had already passed by many houses, but Tian Yin still walked forward with his head down, and I couldn't help but ask, "If you don't find a place to spend the night as soon as possible, where are you going?" ”

"I could sense that there was a man five miles away who was very sick and needed my help urgently."

It's a good thing that someone is sick, and when they are cured, we will at least have a chance to spend the night.

As he walked all the way, Mo Ruchu whispered: "I always feel that there is something wrong with the eyes of these people who go up the mountain to hunt. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Big brother, your eyes can only see in front of you, and I can see in all directions. As we passed by these people, they all stopped and looked at us for a long time until they left. ”

"One of them even secretly took a bow in your direction, but then gave up."

I couldn't help frowning, and said to myself: "Where you rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, money can't be used universally, I don't have any shoelaces on me and anything valuable, and I have no grievances with them, so why kill them?" ”

"Big brother, what you don't know, I definitely don't understand."

Mo Ruchu popped out a small needle groove from the base of the chair, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, you raise your feet higher later, and if anyone dares to make a blind gesture towards us, I will strike first!" ”

"Yes."

……

In the treacherous mountains and bad waters, they have become wild beasts. If I want to survive the town, I'll have to be sharpened by their minions!

But I still can't understand, why do they secretly kill me who is poor and white?

"We're here!"

Tian Yin squinted her eyes, looked at the huge wooden house on the mountain wall in front of her, wiped away the sweat beads on her forehead, her beautiful eyes were clean and bright, and her pretty face was refreshing.

I guessed why those people just now were murderous to me.

"The sick people live in that house, and we have to climb a mountain stream, so we have to go faster."

The wooden house is built in a particularly elaborate position, with a small path against the mountain wall, and the wooden house is built on a huge stone platform at the end of the path, with a few pillars to support the half-suspended house.

The wooden wood used to build the wooden house is hard and thick willow wood, and there is a waterfall on the cliff, and there is just a column of water washing the wooden plank, and under the infiltration of rainwater, the dark wood is more solid and solid, and it has become a kind of wonder.

It seems that the people in the forbidden land of Xiling are also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Whoever lives in such a place must have a noble status.

I asked Tianyin, "In Xiling, what kind of people are qualified to live in luxury buildings?" ”

Tian Yin explained: "The house you are talking about, only half of it is a residence, and the other half is a temple dedicated to the residence of the king of Xiling and the gods. ”

"In every market town, a family is elected as a high priest who lives in the temple and organizes a weekly ritual for the townspeople."

"The high priest's family does not need to hunt, and after the sacrifice to the gods, the priest can enjoy the sacrifice."

"In addition, hunting in the forbidden area of Xiling is particularly dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will die. If the main laborer of a family dies, the female dependents are provided for by the priests. ”

As I spoke, I saw four women walking out of the hut in the distance, holding buckets and rags, busily washing the floor.

This is really very popular as a high priest.

I instructed Mo Ruchu to get a headscarf and threw it to Tian Yin, "Put it on." ”

Tianyin was puzzled, "What am I doing with a headscarf?" ”

"You don't have the power of the witch goddess now, once the Xiling people plot against you because of their appearance, we will gain a foothold here."

"Impossible!"

Tian Yin said categorically: "The people of Xiling are simple, the people are kind, and they are courteous to the witch goddess as a divine envoy, how can they harm me!" ”

I reluctantly explained, "Even if we don't get harmed, we can prevent it from happening." ”

"As a witch goddess, I will never protect and betray my believers!"

Tian Yin stubbornly put down the next sentence, turned around and walked in the direction of the wooden house.

I had to get out of my wheelchair and follow briskly.

Within a week, protecting Tianyin's safety is equivalent to protecting myself, and that's all I can do......

When they arrived at the entrance of the wooden house, a woman dressed in coarse cloth lowered her head and asked timidly, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The woman had bruises on the left side of her face, a tuft of hair on her forehead, and finger marks on her neck, as if she had been beaten.

Tian Yin asked softly: "I am a witch goddess, and I sensed the breath of a sick person here, so I came here to heal." ”

"You're a witch!?"

The woman stared at Tianyin's face for a long time, and then shook her head, "I've seen a witch goddess, not like you. ”

"I'm injured and can't use my powers, but I can still help you get out of your sickness."

This guy came up and exposed his weaknesses......

The elf has a naΓ―ve and straightforward personality, and I can't stop it, so I can only wait and watch.

The woman looked at Tian Yin hesitantly for a long time before she spoke, "Our high priest is holding a meeting in the back mountain, he is terminally ill and is holding a succession ceremony for his two sons. ”

"What? Where is he, I should have time to save people by rushing over now! ”

"Go around this mountain and walk two miles ahead, and you can see at a glance the place where many people gather."

Hearing the way, Tian Yin pointed to Mo Ruchu and begged: "Can you use this talking wheelchair to take me over?" ”

"Didn't you say that witch gods can't break the rules?"

"Human life is at stake, even if the rules are broken, King Xiling will forgive me."

Before leaving, I asked the women, "Where did you get the wound on your face?" ”

The woman subconsciously covered her face, "When I was wiping the stairs, I accidentally fell." ”

"Where's the fingerprint on your neck?"

"It's not a finger print, it's the wound left by the corner of the stairs that has healed."

"Where's the slap mark on the neck?"

"I accidentally left it behind by shooting poisonous insects!"

I said coldly, "Lie! There is no palm print on your neck! ”

"I ......"

The woman's face was frightened, and she was stunned for a long time.

I said softly, "Tell me who hit you, maybe I can call the shots for you." ”

"No one hit me, don't talk nonsense!"

The woman's voice trembled, and she threw down the bucket and ran into the house.

The left side of the face is bruised, and the palm print can be faintly seen, judging from the size, it should be a man, and the woman's left foot has a cracked blood stain on the side of her mouth, and a woman will never have this kind of force when beaten.

From the dejected expressions and trance-like appearances of these four women, I can vaguely guess the virtue of this family.

I said solemnly: "I'm afraid the high priest's family is not a good thing, you better not wade into the troubled waters this time." ”

"What nonsense!"

Tian Yin retorted: "The high priest is the envoy responsible for sacrificing to the gods and protecting the female dependents, and he can never be a bad person!" ”

"If you don't want to take me with you, I'll go by myself!"

At Tianyin's insistence, even if I didn't want to, I could only hold her in a wheelchair and gallop around the mountainside......
