C13 To save the immortals
"I don't know. People here usually don't come out. If there really was a man entering the village, I'm sure he would've been eaten by the Lady Boss. So I'm guessing your friends …" Xin Rou didn't say it out loud, but I understand the other party's meaning.
At this moment, I felt that the whole situation was different. According to the old swindler, it was all destined to happen in and out of the world: and the Three Tailed Sun Stealing Formation.
Luck Wang Fu, Yin Xiang Hua, and Zhou Rong could all die. Although according to the direction of the formation, it should only be the death of Bian Xiang Hua, but now … Maybe even all five of our mission will die here.
He didn't know if He Wenjing had predicted this would happen.
Ai, if only the old swindler was here. Looks like I'll have to rely on myself to walk out!
"Right, your village is only so big. I estimate that they will find this place soon, so I must find a way to stay in this village until tomorrow night at 10: 23: 46." I said, looking around the room.
"Why do you have to stay until 10: 23: 46 tomorrow night?" Xin Rou was puzzled as she asked with a frown on her pretty face.
"I can't explain it clearly now. I can only say that if I don't stay until the appointed time and leave, I might die, including my friends." I spoke with incomparable seriousness. It was as if my heart was frightened by my sudden expression of seriousness. My small face also gradually became determined.
"Don't worry, I'll help you!"
"When the time comes, I will bring you out with me and I will cure you." I looked into his eyes and said resolutely. I am a man who does not easily promise others, but — But promise, in any case.
Her delicate face was stunned for a long time before she finally reacted. Her red lips slightly opened as she gently said, "Thank you!"
In that instant, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed. I forced a smile and replied with "nothing much, nothing much." Then, I started to discuss with the other party on how to survive safely for the next ten hours.
In the end, we decided that we couldn't hide passively. We couldn't hide for too long in such a small village, so we decided to take the initiative.
I asked Xin Rou and found out that even though the husband of the Lady Boss had not been left with any bones, his family had still left him a grave in the back mountains of the village.
My heart told me that although there seemed to be only one entrance and exit from the outside of the village, in reality, there was a back door for every family. Behind this back door, there was a narrow path that led to the back of the mountain, where the villagers of Xiaoxi would be buried for generations.
Before leaving, I wanted to bring Zheng Chen with me, but he was still unconscious and didn't know what was happening to his legs. However, I was afraid that once we leave, the Lady Boss will find us and kill us all if she finds us.
In times of trouble, Xin Rou told me that her family had a cellar, but it was very small, especially with some vegetables in it, so the space left was even smaller, but it was still enough for one person. However, the sealed air in the cellar was short of air all year round. Once he entered, he could only stay for an hour without turning on the ventilation. Once he passed the ventilation, his life would be in danger.
For a little more time, we waited from three in the morning until four in the morning. The cellar was open for an hour, and when we were ready to put Zheng Chen down, he woke up.
However, after waking up, his condition was not that good. His leg was already swollen and he could barely walk. After asking around, he found out that his leg had been injured before.
Zheng Chen expressed that he wouldn't be able to leave, so I told him to be careful and hide in the cellar when he hears any movement outside the door.
After settling down Zheng Chen, I felt relieved and followed Xin Rou to the back of the mountain.
Actually, I found out that when this Lady Boss first married into the sect, she was really nice to her husband, but after that, she suddenly changed her appearance, so no one knew about it. However, during the period of her death, that woman would often go to the back of the mountain to pay respects, and the reason why I suggested going was because I wanted to try my luck.
If it was really as Xin Rou had said, then a woman had feelings for her husband. Eating people wasn't voluntary, but there was a reason that she had to eat people. It was just that no one knew the reason.
It's already been two hours since we escaped, so it's impossible for them to not find us. Since they haven't found us yet, it means that something else has been delayed, and I think that they probably went to the back of the mountain to pay their respects to their husband.
The reason why we went to the back of the mountain is because people will always expose some of the emotions they normally see in front of their most important people, and say some things that they normally wouldn't hear.
The road behind the mountain is winding and winding. If I were to come here alone, I would have to spend a lot of time and effort. Perhaps I might not be able to catch up to the other party.
Sure enough, not long after, we saw a hint of red in the darkness. I remembered that the Lady Boss's clothes were red and there was a faint and strange smell in the air. That smell was the smell of her body.
Xin Rou and I were hiding in a tall pile of grass, some distance away from the Lady Boss. However, we could still hear her mumbling to herself.
Because it's behind the Lady Boss, I couldn't clearly see her application. However, when I heard the sobbing of the Lady Boss, I knew that I was right. She really loved him.
Weeping and crying, the Lady Boss gradually stopped crying. Then, she started to talk about the past between them. I picked up a few sensitive words from those past. "Half Corpse People, revive these words."
Husband, don't worry, as long as we kill those two, take their heart's blood, and take the mountain guardian immortal's spirit pill, I will revive you. Back then, it was my fault, I ate you because of a moment of greed, don't worry, after you come back to life, we will leave this place. Master said that there is a way to cure the body of our half corpse, when that time comes, I will cure myself, and we will be together again.
What, what did I hear? The blood in his heart, the mountain deity, the half-corpse, the person who revived the dead, this …
Suddenly, I seemed to have realized something. I quickly grabbed onto Xin Rou's hand and headed down the mountain. I was afraid that the other party would suddenly descend the mountain. Fifteen minutes later, we reappeared in the house. We didn't follow them.
Back at the house, Zheng Chen was sitting beside the cellar. The moment the wind blows, he would be able to hide in the cellar. Fortunately, we shouted out in time, otherwise, the other party would have already gone into the cellar.
"Xin Rou, do you know what a guarding immortal is?" I always feel a little familiar.
"Do you know about the Keeper Immortal?" With that said, I remembered why I felt that it was so familiar.
Defending the home of the immortal, guarding the safety of the descendants of a family, generally speaking, they are demons. Defenders are usually weasels, rats, foxes, and other similar things to cultivate in, but calling themselves monsters is not. Defending the home of the immortal, since you have the word immortal, then you are bound to be extraordinary. I told you everything I know and I don't know if I'm right or not. I read all these novels about Feng Shui.
However, it protects a mountain and not a family. Other than the possibility that your strength is different, it is almost no different from a guardian immortal. Since the Lady Boss is able to catch a guardian immortal, it means that she is definitely not weak; otherwise, she would not be able to catch a mountain lord. He said with a gentle heart.
"Also, I don't know what kind of half-corpse she's talking about. Sigh, if only the old man was here!" He had once again discovered the importance of the old man.
"Chu Chenyun, I have a way to take a risk …"
"What method is this? Tell me!"
"Previously, I heard from Lady Boss that a Mountain Guarding Immortal seems to be extremely important in this revival. Since Lady Boss isn't here, why don't we go to an inn and think of a way to save this Mountain Guarding Immortal?"
"Rescue the Mountain Immortal?" I was a little doubtful, but when I thought about the cause and effect of the matter, I realised that saving the Mountain Guardians seemed to be destroying the revival. In other words, it was the best way to save my own life.
"In that case, let's move out and save the Mountain Immortal!"
