Chapter 127: Emergencies {7}
The Taoist priest clasped his hands in front of his chest and smiled inexplicably.
His laughter continued in the empty mountains.
Wait until Wang Laohan's eyes gradually become blank and no longer shaking.
The Taoist priest said lightly with an expressionless face: "Did you help you for nothing?" As the saying goes, pay must be rewarded, this is my principle of life. ”
...
The villagers who came to look for He Zizhou with them held torches high and searched around the barren mountain.
In the end, because they found nothing, they were forced to go back to square one.
When everyone gradually gathered from all directions, someone soon found that Wang Laohan was missing.
"Hey, where did Wang Laohan go?"
"Who knows, I guess I'm going to run somewhere."
"Wait and see, maybe he'll be here in a moment."
Everyone held the torch high and whispered to me, but only the goddess showed confusion and sadness.
Seeing her thoughtful appearance, everyone felt so strange, so someone asked her what she was thinking.
The goddess raised her eyes and looked at the mountains in the distance: "I always feel a little strange tonight. ”
Everyone didn't know why she said this, so they all stared at her, hoping that she would give a perfect answer.
For everyone's expectant and confused eyes, the goddess seems to be unaware.
She just fell into her own memories and told the whole thing on the spot.
I remember that she and Wang Laohan went to the mountains together, and when they had not completely stepped out of the scope of this wheat field, everything was still in good shape.
But when they got out of the wheat field, and had stepped into the forest, the right eyelid of the goddess suddenly began to throb restlessly.
The cautious goddess immediately thought of an old saying, that is, 'the left eye jumps wealth, the right eye jumps disaster'.
In fact, this kind of folk saying is not completely accurate, because the eyelid beating depends on what time it happens.
It is only at a certain time that the eyelids throb that some mysterious events will be predicted in the future.
This kind of thing varies from person to person, and the probability of abnormal conditions is extremely small, so even if there is a fluttering eyelid, there is no need to worry too much about it, because most people's eyelid fluttering is caused by eye fatigue.
Moreover, even if there are any abnormal signs, ordinary people's guesses alone will not play any role at all.
Rather than scaring yourself, it is better to go with the flow, because what should happen will always happen, which is exactly what people have good and bad luck, and there are unforeseen circumstances.
The reason why the goddess is called the goddess is that she must have the ability to be different from ordinary people.
Her eyelids suddenly fluttered at the moment, which quickly caught her attention.
She stopped, stood in place and pinched her fingers, and immediately came to a conclusion: the villain committed the situation and fell into the well.
Yes! What does that mean?
Who is this villain referring to?
And what does this fall portend?
As soon as the results of the calculation came out, the goddess was stunned, and it could even be said that it was a little incomprehensible.
It is not difficult to calculate the words of warning based on her deeds, but the most difficult thing is to understand the actual consequences of the heavenly machine.
Although she has a little magical power, she is also an ordinary person of flesh and blood after all, and she can't help but make difficulties for this confusing and vast prediction.
Along the way, the goddess was in a trance, and her eyes were blank and she walked forward.
The reason why she is like this is because she was disturbed by this seemingly absurd thing.
But as she walked, she realized that something was wrong.
Because when she raised her head, she realized that Wang Laohan, who was still beside her just now, was now gone.
"This reckless old man didn't know how to say hello to me when he left."
Reluctantly complained to Wang Laohan, the goddess had to go forward alone and go deeper into the forest to explore.
It wasn't until she returned to the original point again, but she still didn't see Wang Laohan, that she realized that something was wrong.
After listening to her story, everyone was a little flustered, so they whispered on the side.
The goddess knew that the situation was a bit urgent, and she didn't care what everyone was thinking, so she just proposed that everyone go together to find Wang Laohan and He Zizhou, who suddenly disappeared.
In the meantime, in order to prevent Wang Laohan from returning here again, four crop men were left to wait here.
After the explanation, the goddess led a group of people straight to the dense forest.
After walking away for about half an hour, when the goddess and the people just now returned to their original place again, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The reason why they were dumbfounded was because everyone clearly remembered that when they first got into the dense forest together, they never turned a corner.
Since he didn't turn around, he didn't turn around and walk back, so why didn't he return to the same place inexplicably after walking for a while?
Until this time, everyone suddenly realized that things seemed to be a little complicated, and the complexity made them retreat.
However, the four people who stayed in place before didn't know it, and they saw that the goddess and those companions had returned again, so they hurriedly came over and asked the goddess if they had found out about Wang Laohan and He Zizhou.
The goddess didn't want these four people to fall into fear as well, so she coaxed them and said that it was better for them to stay where they were and not to be safe, so it would be better to follow the big ones into the mountain.
The four of them did not doubt him, and soon joined the ranks of the people, and under the leadership of the goddess, they marched into the mountains again.
But who knows, half an hour later, these people will return to the same place strangely.
Discovering this anomaly, even the goddess, who was the guide, felt that her mind was blank: "No, we have been walking towards the east all along, why is this, why are we walking back to the same place?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone became nervous.
At this time, I don't know who in the noisy crowd said a seemingly reliable answer, that is: ghosts hit the wall.
This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it scared some people so much that their legs and stomachs were weak, and they shouted that it was better to wait until dawn to come out to find someone, and now it is safer to return to the village.
Most people strongly agree with this proposition.
So the scene was a little awkward for a while, and there were very few people left who were willing to follow the goddess to continue into the mountain.
The goddess sighed and shook her head gloomily: "Have you forgotten my identity? I'm a goddess myself, and if there's an evil spirit around, I'll be the first to sense it.
So, it's not a hell of a wall at all.
I think this is a man-made formation, and anyone who walks in should stop thinking about going out. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Although I don't know the true purpose of this person, I always feel that someone is watching our every move behind me, perhaps, our current predicament is under the control of that person."
If that person doesn't have bad intentions, it's okay to say, but if he has other plans, I'm afraid we will be more than lucky. ”
What she said was very sincere and very practical.
When she first noticed the abnormality, she still wanted to hide it from everyone, but after thinking about it, she couldn't hide it for a while, and now that the facts are already in front of her, it is better to tell the truth.
After hearing what she said, the already irritable hearts of the farmers instantly became more frightened, and it was obvious that they each had the idea of escaping from this place as soon as possible.
At this time, someone suddenly yelled at the goddess in anger: "You don't talk nonsense here!" Really, I'm a three-year-old! What bullshit formations, what can't get out, it's all fucking nonsense! I'll run away and show you. ”
The man jumped into the carriage in a hurry, stretched out his hand and kept beckoning to those companions who had lost their opinions: "If you don't want to die, come with me!" ”
The villagers, who were already on the verge of collapse, seemed to be suddenly awakened by this voice.
I saw that they threw away the torches in their hands one after another, and went straight to the carriage as hard as they could.
Obviously, when their own lives are threatened, no one cares about saving others.
The goddess stood alone in place, she was a little unbearable, but she said helplessly: "It's not the old woman I'm scaring you, at this weird moment, I'm afraid no one will be able to leave." ”
Some of the slower runners turned around and looked at her with torches, and they stopped in place, looking a little embarrassed.
At this time, several villagers ran to the goddess again, grabbed her arm, and wanted to leave with her: "Aunt He, let's go together." ”
"Yes, Aunt He, the matter between Wang Laohan and He Zizhou, I think there are indeed some evil sects, or let's wait until dawn to find out."
"Aunt He, you usually help us a lot, I remember your kindness, now that you are in danger, how can I leave you alone in this barren mountain and wilderness!"
"Yes, we ran away and left you alone, then we are too inhuman, you better come with us!"
Hearing these words, the goddess was deeply moved, and even though she was nearly sixty years old, she couldn't help but shed hot tears.
While wiping her tears, she forced a smile at these well-wishers: "Everyone's kindness, I understand the old woman, but I don't want to leave, maybe this is my life!" ”
He exhaled deeply before he continued: "Even if I had a catastrophe in my old age, it seems that it may be today." ”
When a few people saw that the goddess was so stubborn, they knew that it was useless to talk more.
So these people exchanged glances, and then they all set up the arms, legs and feet of the goddess, and simply took her away.
The goddess who was held high did not resist, but she could not hide a trace of sadness in her eyes, and said in her heart: I only blame the old woman for my limited ability, otherwise even if you fight for your life, you will be safe, but it's a pity... It's a pity that you are still so young, and you are about to end up in a different place.
In a short time, everyone without exception gathered on top of the four carriages.
Then, with the sound of a few crisp whips, the carriage was gone.
On the soft, damp dirt road, a messy, deeply recessed row of horseshoe prints soon appeared.
And the carriage ran farther and farther, and gradually seemed to disappear completely into the whirlpool of the night.
"Hey.....hey"
