Chapter 30: A Prophet Caught

Lu Lao walked slowly because he was on crutches, and many families poked their heads out to see along the way, and after seeing Bai Lu's face clearly, they were all sad and happy, and knelt down again.

Bai Lu hurriedly wanted to help, but was pulled by Lu Lao, "Give them some thoughts, we have been counting on this day for all these years." ”

Listening to Lu Lao's sighing words, Bai Lu still swallowed the words of denial into his stomach.

But her steps grew stiffer and stiffer, as if the ground was covered with sharp needles that could pierce the soles of her feet.

A childish child curiously followed them all the time, running back and forth to peek at Bai Lu, whispering from time to time, and after being stopped by the entourage, he scattered as birds and beasts, and after a while, he ran forward again.

Bai Lu was surrounded by a large group of people and came to a red-tiled brick house, Lu Lao let go of the hand holding Bai Lu, flipped through his sleeve for a long time, took out a jade key, and inserted it into the heavy keyhole of the mahogany door.

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open, making a sound with a strong sense of history, as if telling the long history to the visitor.

The door was completely opened, and someone walked in with a torch, lit the lights inside, and returned to the courtyard to stand in two rows to guide Bai Lu out of the way.

In the bright and dark firelight, on an open seven-fold door inside the gate, a few words were written on the dragon flying and phoenix dancing: Liuyun Goddess.

Inside the seven-fold door is a statue made of jade throughout, and a graceful woman is holding a kitchen knife the size of a basin in her hand, slashing at something with great force.

The sculpture is surrounded by a number of lanterns and wooden plaques, apparently tablets of the deceased ancestors of the village.

The tablets are not like other ancestral halls, they are all the same surnames, there are any surnames here, and there are even surnames that Bai Lu has never heard of.

But what really shocked her was that the woman in the shape of jade was actually carved out of a mold with her.

Coupled with the kitchen knife in her hand, the more she looked at it, the more familiar it became.

"This is the Goddess of Liuyun." Lu Lao said leisurely, "She saved us, taught us, and left us with hope for life, and now, she has sent you to save us." ”

"Save?" Bai Lu asked rhetorically, she remembered what the previous people had been saying about being saved or something, as if this place was facing some threat.

Li Qingnian stood at the door of the ancestral hall, looked at the statue, looked at Bai Lu again, and finally looked at Bai Haisheng, who had his head down and couldn't see his expression clearly.

This man, who usually goes straight to the mouth like a bell, has collapsed at this time, and even if he can't see his expression clearly, he can feel the storm in his heart.

It was like ten years old in an instant.

Bai Haisheng must know something.

Li Qingnian looked at the sculpture again, and suddenly saw some familiarity from the eyebrows and eyes of the goddess Liuyun.

But this is not because this Liuyun Goddess looks similar to Bai Lu.

Li Qingnian's brows slowly locked, he seemed to have seen this person somewhere.

"The goddess brought us here to settle down, but she also had a premonition that in twenty years, the world would be in turmoil, and this place would be destroyed by unknowable natural disasters." When Lu Lao mentioned this, the corners of his mouth drooped.

She said she still had important business to attend to, and she would definitely come back in 20 years to take us to find a new place to live. Counting up, it is less than a day before the day of the prophecy of the goddess. ”

"What she says is going to happen?" Bai Lu was a little confused.

In the book, she never remembered that the author had written about this goddess, even if the heroine Yan Ya had met the so-called witch Zhu, she was also a big liar, and after being exposed by Yan Ya, her reputation was even better.

Isn't this world exactly the same as in the book?

[This world already has its own logic, please explore it more.] The system detected the big doubts in Bai Lu's mind, and took the initiative to explain it humanely.

Bai Lu nodded slightly, if she really followed the description in the book, she would not have been able to go to places that were not written in the book, such as this village, which was not mentioned in the book.

It seems that the system, or the people behind the system, has enriched the world completely.

"Everything the goddess says will come true!" Lu Lao's voice suddenly raised, and he was very annoyed that Bai Lu questioned the goddess's words like this, but because of her face similar to that of the goddess, he suppressed his anger.

"The goddess once said that the child of the Su family will be the emperor, and now the one sitting on the throne is not the son of the Su family?"

"The goddess also said that the Canglang River would rise and drown many people, so this took us to a place far away from the Canglang River. Sure enough, as soon as we landed, the river god of the Canglang River became angry. ”

"The goddess even said that the weather will get hotter and hotter day by day these days, won't this be effective?"

One by one, the torch-bearers spoke the prophecy of the goddess and the verified ending, and some even knelt down in front of the statue of the goddess, chanting words of blessing and the like.

Good guy, this Liuyun Goddess still has the ability to speak with her words?

The more Bai Lu listened, the more fantastical it became, and he couldn't help but look up at the sculpture again.

"So, soon this place will not be able to stay any longer, the goddess did not come, but sent you, I hope you can tell me how to deal with myself." Lu Lao knocked his cane on the brick floor, signaled the others to be quiet, and asked Bai Lu respectfully after calming down his emotions.

"We fled from Lisi Village, and the elite circle occupied our land, so we are going to go to Canglang River first and then make plans." Bai Lu briefly talked about the ins and outs, she didn't know where to go next, and the system hadn't released the next task yet.

However, now is a good time for her to expand her team: "If you are willing to come with me, I will welcome you, and I will never let you go hungry and thirsty." When we find a suitable place to stay, we can become neighbors, and I want to know more about this goddess. ”

Lu Lao was a little disappointed when he heard that Bai Lu had also fled, but when he heard that she was willing to take them with him, his eyes lit up again.

"Back then, when the goddess took us away, she said that we would never be hungry and thirsty. Twenty years have passed, and there are few people who first followed the goddess. Lu Lao sighed, and his gaze at Bai Lu became even more intense.

"If I can hear this sentence again, it is death, and I am worth it." After that, Lu Lao threw the crutches in his hand, and as soon as his legs became weak, he was about to kneel on the ground.

Bai Lu had already guarded against his actions, the people in their village like to kneel, but let someone who can be her grandfather at such an age kneel for her, she is afraid of nightmares at night.

"Old Lu, hurry up, since time is pressing, why don't you let those who are willing to leave pack up their things, and we can leave here first?" Bai Lu held Lu Lao steadily, didn't let him kneel, and diverted his attention.

Lu Lao valued Bai Lu a little more in his heart, stood up straight with Bai Lu's strength, and opened his mouth to order the others: "Go, let everyone take the things packed up and gather at the entrance of the village!" ”

Someone answered, and ran to deliver the letter happily.

It seems that these people are ready to leave early in the morning, but they still have the last hope and want to wait for this Liuyun goddess to come.

It's just, why do you look so much like her?

Bai Lu picked up the crutches for Lu Lao, and when he got up, he suddenly saw Bai Haisheng's lowered face, which had not spoken, full of tears.
