Chapter 947: Into the Water
The guards in the village were all hidden in the night, and if it weren't for this loud shout, it would be really difficult to detect. %d7%cf%d3%c4%b8%f3
Full Moon secretly cursed: "It's really unlucky." ”
Mr. Lu shouted, "The three of us escorted her and rushed out." Remember, don't get into a fight. Running far is the main purpose. ”
Xue Qian and I both agreed. Then he dragged the full moon and ran forward.
After we had run two steps, we saw a lot of figures in the wilderness. These people are dressed in dark colors, no wonder they are difficult to detect in the dark.
They're moving fast toward us. It's about to form a human wall that traps us.
Mr. Lu sneered, like a cannonball, and hit it hard.
The guards were immediately knocked over on their backs. Poured a large piece. The rest of the pack stretched out their hands and feet to stop us. I wielded my broadsword and pushed them out of the way.
Although there are many guards, their combat effectiveness is really low. In just a minute or two, we had broken through the siege and left the village far behind.
Instead of hiding in the darkness, the villagers lit torches and chased after us.
But look at the firelight, it's still far away.
Full Moon ran out of breath and fell to the ground, facing the sky on his back, panting vigorously. After a while, she sat up and said, "Thank you." ”
The three of us smiled. said: "You're welcome. Hurry up, we're here to help you stop the people. ”
Full Moon thanked him twice, got up from the ground, and limped into the darkness.
The three of us sat on the ground and rested for a few minutes. And the pursuers came.
They lit torches and shouted, "Here they are." ”
The three of us stood up, intending to create some chaos and stall for time.
At this time, a guard said, "I remember that there were four people running out, why are there only three here?" ”
I smiled and said, "You're mistaken, there are only three." ”
The guard scratched his head and said with some unconfidence, "Really? But I remember there were four. ”
Xue Qian smiled: "You can't even tell the difference between three and four?" Let's go home and rest. ”
The guard was told a couple of words. It looks like I'm a little unconfident. He asked the person next to him, "How many people are there?" ”
The man said impatiently, "It doesn't matter how many people he has." Let's get all these people back. tortured, naturally asked. ”
Then they rushed at the three of us.
At this time, I heard someone next to me say, "Stop, don't catch them." They won't run away. ”
The torches parted, and out of the crowd came an old man, it was the hemp rope.
Ma Rope smiled and said, "Three, since the river god said that you came to sacrifice voluntarily, then you will definitely not run away." You guys should be helping others escape with this big move tonight, right? ”
The three of us looked at each other. I was a little puzzled in my heart: this guy with hemp rope guessed quite accurately.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Rope said, "Are you helping the full moon escape?" ”
I looked at the hemp rope smiling and smug. This smile made me feel a little unsure. I always feel that a qiē seems to be under the control of hemp rope.
Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Old man Ma." You're really clever. But no matter how clever it is, it's useless. The full moon has fled, fled far away. ”
The hemp rope sighed and shook his head, and said, "I wish I could be clever." It's a pity that I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't have this magical ability. The reason I know you're helping Full Moon escape is because ...... Hey, we've got this girl. ”
The words of hemp rope made us stunned. We all have some disbelief.
But then, not far away, the shouts of the guards were heard. I saw two men approaching with a full moon. Fork and snag number.
Her hair was disheveled and she was sweating profusely, and she had indeed been caught.
I said with some regret, "Didn't you run away?" How did you get caught again? ”
Full Moon sighed and said, "I didn't expect that there were guards ahead. These people are too cunning. ”
Ma Rope smiled and said, "This is called, the magic is one foot high, and the road is one foot high." There are gods in the first three feet, you guys, do it yourself. ”
I shook the big knife in my hand and thought to myself, "If we can rush out of here, we can save people." ”
But my thoughts were seen by Ma Rope, and he smiled at me and said, "Young man, don't be impulsive. You saved the full moon, and we'll find her wife instead. If her wife also runs away, we will find the rest of the relatives to take her place. Can you save so many people? If it's not good, when the time comes, the relatives and friends of the full moon will have to take the initiative to guard her. ”
Ma Rope said with a smile: "She takes the initiative to make a sacrifice now, the river god is happy, and everyone is also happy." And when she leaves, she will take the initiative to take care of her mother. If you toast and don't eat and drink, and end up betraying your relatives, it won't be good. ”
I was dumbfounded and said, "How can there be such a vicious rule?" ”
I looked at the full moon and said, "Why didn't you say it before?" ”
Ma Rope smiled: "This rule was set many years ago. From the beginning of this rule, no sacrifice escaped. The full moon is naturally unknown. ”
Full Moon sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it." I still won't run away, so as not to trouble everyone. ”
Ma Rope said: "Those who know the times are Junjie, that's right." ”
Afterwards, the guards escorted the full moon away. There were only three of us left in the darkness. He didn't let anyone catch us, and he seemed to expect us not to escape.
Mr. Lu hung his head and said, "We still have to wait for that terrible ghost to appear, let's go back to the village." ”
We returned to the full moon's home. The old lady sat in the dark waiting for us, as if she had been yesterday.
We apologized and said, "It didn't work out." The full moon let them catch. ”
The old lady had a disappointed look on her face. But she quickly regained her composure and said to us, "Catch it and forget it." This is probably fate. I knew it wouldn't be easy. ”
When she said this, she groped her way into bed, and it seemed that she was going to sleep, but we all knew that she would not be able to sleep.
The three of us were lying on the ground. I closed my eyes and whispered, "Mr. Lu, we can't see death without help, right?" ”
Mr. Lu said, "What can you do to save people?" ”
I said, "The culprits are nothing more than hemp rope and the goddess, let's kill them." A full moon will save it. ”
Mr. Lu let out a long sigh and said, "Save one, kill one." What kind of salvation is this? ”
I said, "The hemp rope and the goddess have done a lot of evil, and I don't know how many people have been killed. Let's kill him, they deserve it. ”
Mr. Lu seemed to be about to fall asleep, and said in a somewhat confused voice: "We are just Taoist priests." When the road is uneven, it is reasonable to act righteously. But there is no right to kill. That's a firing squad thing. ”
Xue Qian smiled beside her: "It seems that no one stipulates that Taoist priests have the right to kill ghosts, do you kill fewer powerful ghosts?" ”
Mr. Lu turned over and said, "That's because the underworld is already in chaos." In the troubled times, the master of the underworld can't take care of these dark corners, so he needs Taoist priests to do the Tao for the heavens. To be honest, this is actually drinking to quench your thirst, and the more people who do the right thing for heaven, the more unreasonable it will be. Fortunately, there is no chaos in the world. I don't want to kill people casually and make the world chaotic. ”
He sighed: "I hope that one day, the underworld will also be peaceful." In that case, I can forget about this Dao technique. ”
The three of us talked for a while, and then fell asleep.
For the next two days, we didn't do anything.
The mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings, and we are all waiting for the moment of sacrifice.
I discussed it with Mr. Lui. When it was time to sacrifice, we would hijack the full moon and swagger outside. Since the hemp rope said that we came to sacrifice voluntarily, we just gave him a voluntary one. Once the prophecy of the so-called river god is deciphered, superstition can be dispelled.
On the evening of the third day, a full moon hung in the sky. We stood in the courtyard, waiting for the hemp rope to escort us to the sacrifice.
Full Moon's mother sat on the steps, stared at the moon in the sky, and said, "When the full moon was born, the moon was also so round. ”
We were about to comfort her when we heard a sound of bamboo outside. The old lady stood up suddenly, staggered, and said with a crying voice, "It's time to enter the water." ”
