Chapter 147 Seduction? It won’t work on me!
Jian Yue was silent for a moment.
He glanced at Goddess Liu not far away.
Goddess Liu's mentality was also a little broken. The arrogant look on her face seemed to freeze in an instant, and she looked at Jian Yue in amazement.
Of course, the mayor is the strangest one.
He wondered why Goddess Liu and Jian Yue's expressions changed suddenly and looked so strange.
The mayor asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Jian Yue looked at the mayor and asked, "You just said that she is a well-known singer who became famous with just one song?"
The mayor nodded and said, "Yes, what's the problem?"
"That's not a problem." Jian Yue said, "It's just... I've never heard of Goddess Liu's songs. I wonder if there's a chance for us to enjoy them and open our eyes?"
As soon as these words came out.
As if his Ren and Du meridians had been opened, the village chief said excitedly, "Yes, you can. Goddess Liu, please sing a line. My favorite is the opening song in your song "Kizun Ai". Can you fulfill my wish and sing a few lines for me? Then I will have no regrets in my life!"
This was actually a very simple request.
After all, there was no requirement to sing all of them, but the most serious problem was that Goddess Liu couldn't sing at all!
She always needs someone to sing for her in every concert or live show, and now she is even more unwilling to show her talent in front of the village chief.
The village chief was still there and said excitedly: "Just sing that one sentence, and I will be satisfied after listening to it!"
Goddess Liu: “…”
Doesn’t she want to sing?
It’s because she can’t sing well at all!
Jian Yue even continued to fan the flames, saying, "Since you, Goddess Liu, care so much about the people of the world, you shouldn't refuse to sing a song for your fans, right?"
Goddess Liu: “…”
Enough! She said enough!
Seeing that Jian Yue was about to say more, she quickly said, "Aren't we discussing how to help the town now? Since you, Butler Wang, are here to help, let's discuss it together. The most important thing is to implement all the rescue work as soon as possible!"
The words fell.
Everyone else was surprised.
Especially Nangong Xi and Wang Wenwen, they thought to themselves, didn’t you look down on us just now, why do you suddenly care about the world now?
But they didn't ask.
Jian Yue smiled and nodded, "Since you said so, let's do this for now!"
In the following time, Goddess Liu donated money to the mayor, and Jian Yue purchased some supplies in the town, exchanged some things, and also hired some workers, so that the renovation of the house would have a place to go.
After everything is processed.
The mayor then found the town's record book. As he searched, he said, "Our town has never been peaceful since ancient times. The wood in our town is the most sacred wood in the world. It is first-class and is a protected plant. Earthquakes have occurred frequently over the past thousands of years. It is said that there is a spiritual vein under our ground that protects us, so no matter how big the earthquake is, it will not sink."
Jian Yue and others gathered together to look at the record book. He said, "Where is the spiritual vein?"
The mayor was turning the page in front, and everyone was watching him. He said, "It should be on the mountain. The older generation said so. Legend has it that the spiritual vein will bless our descendants for generations."
I only saw that it was clearly written in the booklet that over the thousands of years, there have been various disasters and events, big and small. Basically, there will be earthquakes of varying sizes every hundred years, but the death toll will not be very heavy.
But this wasn't the one they were looking for.
Obviously, these are not what Goddess Liu is looking for.
As the pages move forward.
Slowly, until the pages of the record book got closer, everyone's eyes gradually moved, and finally, they were finally able to see the place they wanted to see.
The booklet carefully records:
During the 30 years of Zhenyan, a major geological disaster occurred in the mountains, causing countless deaths and injuries. All the villagers in the town were safe, but most of the Ji family members were killed or injured.
Jian Yue pointed to this place and asked the mayor, "Excuse me, what geological disaster happened that year?"
The mayor replied, "We really don't know about this. We only heard from the old people in the town that the disciples of the Ji family went up the mountain to practice together, but unfortunately they encountered a forest fire and all died."
Jian Yue asked: "Where is the place where they practiced hard?"
The mayor thought for a moment and said, "There is a ancestral hall built by the Ji family on the mountain. It is used to collect spiritual wood. But since that incident, no one has gone there. After all, too many people have died."
Jian Yue, Wang Wenwen and others looked at each other.
If you want to find out the truth, it is best to go to the ancestral hall.
Goddess Liu asked, "Where exactly is this ancestral hall?"
The mayor was a little puzzled and asked, "Why are you so interested in the Ji family's affairs?"
Goddess Liu choked.
In the end, Jian Yue was the quickest to react. He smiled and said, "Because we are all part of the crew. The movie that is about to be filmed is about the puppet clan, so of course we want to learn more about it."
The mayor suddenly realized what was going on. He nodded and said, "So that's how it is. It's okay. I actually didn't recommend you go there. That place is too hard to find. Besides, I heard that..."
His voice lowered a little.
The others came over curiously.
The mayor's voice became mysterious. He said, "That place is haunted. Many people say that there are sounds and shadows there late at night!"
After these words were spoken, the faces of several people changed.
The air around seemed to become thinner and colder.
When they came out of the mayor's house, everyone's faces were different. Goddess Liu's face turned pale with fright when she heard it. If her assistant hadn't supported her, she would have fainted on the spot. When she came out of the mayor's house, she ran away without stopping.
It seemed to be quite stimulating to her.
Wang Wenwen was also frightened. He asked, "Are there really ghosts in this world?"
Nangong Xi said: "What the mayor said is so scary, is what he said true?"
Jian Yue's face was very calm. Just when the two people thought he was also afraid, Jian Yue said, "Which do you think is scarier, the ghost floating in the sky or the puppet that can chop you?"
Two people: "..."
Depend on!
In comparison, ghosts don't seem so scary!
Jian Yue said directly: "We are all afraid, so there is no difference between big and small. Let's go up the mountain and look for the location. I have a hunch that we can find clues."
After hearing what Jian Yue said, the other two people had no objections and nodded in agreement.
Everyone packed up and prepared to go up the mountain.
When they went up the mountain, they asked the mayor about the exact location, which was about two hours' journey.
The mountain road along the way was a bit rugged and not very easy to walk on. It was midsummer now, and the vegetation on the mountain was lush. The higher you went, the more lush the vegetation was. In the back, the vegetation even gave a feeling of blocking out the sun, and it felt like night even though it was broad daylight.
There was a rustling sound in the grass, as if there was a dangerous wild animal hiding and lurking.
Wang Wenwen's teeth were chattering, and he said timidly, "Are there any snakes here?"
Jian Yue said: "Don't worry, think positively, at least it's not a ghost."
Wang Wenwen: “…”
He actually said some words that made people want to die.
Jian Yue looked at the map and led them forward. Nangong Xi walked in the middle and Wang Wenwen walked at the end.
Nangong Xi said as he walked: "The trees here are really tall. I have never seen such tall and beautiful trees outside before. I'm sure there are spiritual veins here."
Wang Wenwen asked curiously, "Are you not afraid anymore?"
Nangong Xi said: "Isn't this very much like a brave man's adventure? Besides, the mayor might be trying to scare us. We must believe in science and materialism..."
She hasn't finished her words yet.
There was a sobbing sound coming from the wind not far away. The sound was faint and came along with the wind. It was eerie, as if a soul was lingering around and haunting people.
Everyone: “…”
Nangong Xi was so scared that she wanted to cry.
Jian Yue turned around and gestured to the two of them to keep quiet. He mouthed to Wang Wenwen silently: "Use cards."
Wang Wenwen had already been holding the card and used it immediately.
All three of them entered stealth mode.
The crying sound seemed to be everywhere, but Jian Yue had extraordinary hearing. He listened for a while and then led the three people to the east.
It took about five minutes to walk.
Passing through the dense forest, a winding path appeared.
Everyone stepped onto the steps and finally saw a tall altar appearing at the edge of the forest not far away. The altar was covered with broken walls and looked particularly desolate.
Several people kept moving forward.
The closer you get, the more you can hear the crying.
Slowly, as I walked closer, I could see who was crying. It was a middle-aged man.
Jian Yue narrowed his eyes, looked at the person not far away, and slowly said, "It's the miracle doctor."
He is actually here.
The fat miracle doctor sat on the altar and cried, his body twitching. No one knew how he had walked such a long way to get here alone, and no one knew why he could find the ancestral hall altar of the puppet-controlling clan.
The doctor touched the texture on the stone and said softly, "Sister... Master... I miss you so much..."
The words fell.
Jian Yue and others were slightly surprised. Is he also a disciple of the Ji family?
"After you got into trouble, there wasn't a day that I didn't miss you." The doctor's hand slowly stroked those clear lines. He said, "I really miss the days when we were all together. We were so happy and blessed together..."
Talking and talking.
Tears kept falling down the face of the miracle doctor. He said, "It's all my fault. It was all my fault at the beginning. I didn't have the ability to save you. But don't be afraid. Just bear with it. It will be fine soon. I will definitely save you all!"
Jian Yue frowned slightly.
If I remember correctly, his fellow apprentices and sisters should all be dead.
Why do you need him to save you?
The miracle doctor started to ramble on again: "Master, don't blame me, blame those foreigners. They are so greedy! So selfish! They deserved to die!"
Wang Wenwen whispered, "Butler Wang, look at him, he's vomiting blood!"
Jian Yue also saw that blood was flowing from the corners of the miracle doctor's mouth, and his lips were very pale. Others might not be able to see it, but Jian Yue could see that the miracle doctor was probably in poor health. This was the look that only a terminally ill person would have.
It’s quite interesting to say.
People in the world say that the miracle doctor can cure all diseases, but he himself is helpless?
Just thinking about it.
Then a whistle sound was heard in the wind, and the corners of the doctor's mouth were covered with blood. After the whistle sounded, a puppet slowly crawled out from the bushes not far away.
Jian Yue and others watched as the miracle doctor stretched out his hand, and with his palms forcefully tore the puppet's limbs apart, then he forcefully pulled something out of it and bit into it. The scene was extremely cruel.
Nangong Xi couldn't help but take a step back.
Suddenly!
There was a small piece of wood behind the people, and the wood made a crisp sound.
The miracle doctor who was eating suddenly turned his head and looked over, his eyes were sharp and dangerous! The corners of his mouth were still red, and he looked like a ghost, his fierce eyes staring at the direction of the wood.
Wang Wenwen whispered, "We have cards that make us invisible, so he shouldn't be able to see us."
Across the air.
The audience in the live broadcast room were all excited:
“It can be discovered!”
"Don't hesitate!!!"
“He must have found out!!”
Jian Yue's eyes met with the miracle doctor's. After just a moment, he abruptly retracted his gaze and said to the person beside him, "He found out! Nangong Xi! Take out your cards! It's too late. We need an animal that runs fast, preferably one that can fly!!"
Nangong Xi immediately took out the card. She refreshed the card quickly and a bird appeared.
So from the perspective of the miracle doctor, all he could see was a few little birds jumping out from behind the wooden block, then flapping their wings a few times and flying away.
He stared at the direction the birds flew away, his bloodstained teeth slowly curled into a smile, and he said, "You can't run away, you can't run away..."
The other side.
The few people who were flying in the sky for the first time didn't grasp the direction well and fell down while flying.
Fortunately, the bird hit the tree, and its body was light, so it was not injured after stumbling around. It just looked very embarrassed when it fell into the grass.
After a while, the card lost its effect.
Wang Wenwen gasped and said, "I was so scared. I was so scared. His eyes looked like he wanted to eat me!"
Nangong Xi's eyes were red: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Jian Yue sat up and said, "It's not your fault. In fact, we have been discovered a long time ago. The young master told me that puppets have a very sensitive sense of smell. The invisibility card can only hide the body shape, not the smell. Fortunately, you are here this time, otherwise we might not be able to escape."
Nangong Xi felt better now. She said, "When I saw him eating the puppet, he was pulling it hard and my stomach couldn't hold it back..."
Because everyone actually knows that puppets are all living people who have mutated into something strange.
How can you remain indifferent to such behavior as eating puppets?
Wang Wenwen said with some regret: "It's a pity that we didn't find anything practical this time."
Jian Yue said: "Who said no?"
Everyone looked at him curiously.
Jian Yue took out his phone and said, "The stone wall of the altar in the ancestral hall is engraved with the translation of the puppet-controlling tribe's language. I took some photos with my phone while you were chatting. It should be enough."
Wang Wenwen and Nangong Xi: "..."
Depend on!
As expected of you! Butler Wang!!!
As the translation appeared, a panel refreshed in front of Jian Yue.
The system said: "The progress of the main quest [Secrets of the Miraculous Doctor] is 70%. Please keep up the good work!"
Jian Yue retracted his gaze and said, "This miracle doctor is probably going to do something. Let's go back to the Ji family's library and translate those cultural relics. You notify Sister Aya and the others and have them keep an eye on the restaurant where the miracle doctor lives. I'm afraid he's going to attack the guests."
Wang Wenwen immediately said, "I'll do it."
Nangong Xi said: "Then I will accompany you to the archives room."
Jian Yue nodded.
It was almost four or five in the afternoon when we got back and forth.
But time is life. If they delay any further, someone will die every night. They must hurry up.
When Jian Yue came back, he happened to meet his assistant.
The assistant said, "Butler Wang, why didn't I see you today?"
"I went to ask the mayor to arrange for supplies for house repairs." Jian Yue said, "Where's Mr.
The assistant said, "The gentleman is in the study. He is very busy today. He said that you can take a rest after you are done and then come to see him."
Jian Yue said, "Okay, I just got back and I'm a little dirty, so I won't go over yet. I'll go wash up and take a rest before I go to have dinner with my husband."
They are like an old married couple.
The assistant was already used to it, so he said, "Okay, I'll talk to the gentleman then."
Jian Yue said: "Okay."
After they finished communicating, Jian Yue said to Nangong Xi behind him: "Let's go."
Nangong Xi asked curiously, "How come you, Butler Wang, brought me in, and the assistants didn't doubt my identity?"
Jian Yue said, "There are too many workers coming and going in the house today, so it's nothing strange that you look like this."
Several people were climbing the mountain and falling down from trees.
Not to mention her wrinkled clothes, Nangong Xi was covered in mud and dirt, as if she had just come out of a construction site. No wonder no one suspected her at all.
Nangong Xi sighed and said, "Back then, I was also a beautiful girl that everyone loved, and I was even the heroine of a Mary Sue novel..."
Jian Yue immediately began to ask: "Did you pay off the money you owed the young master at that time?"
Nangong Xi's expression changed, and he immediately said, "Forget it, I don't miss being the heroine at all."
Jian Yue felt a little regretful that he didn't get the huge sum of money.
Two people arrived at the archives.
According to the photos of the cultural relics taken on the mobile phone and the corresponding text in the translation, I slowly and finally translated the content of the text.
The words on the jade ring read: Zeng Yuli
It's a person's name.
The other cultural relics also had names written on them: Jiang Yan, Hu Taotao, Ren Yexing...
After Jian Yue finished translating, he confirmed: "These cultural relics are all old things from the former disciples of the puppet control clan."
Nangong Xi immediately asked: "What does the miracle doctor want to do by collecting these?"
Jian Yue looked at the bookshelf in this room. What was there recorded were the daily lives of some former disciples of the Ji family, as well as the purchase records of things spent.
I couldn't find anything useful.
Until Nangong Xi said, "Butler Wang! Look here, there seems to be a line of words on the title page of this book, but I can't understand it."
Jian Yue came over and took the book. It was a record book that recorded the number of puppets. But at the back, a disciple wrote a few words on the title page. Jian Yue took the translation and translated it. Slowly, he finally figured out the meaning of the words:
"My senior brother said that the people in the town have been suffering a lot recently after the earthquake. We need to go to the ancestral hall to pray to the spirit veins and pray for good weather and good harvests in the coming year. I hope everyone will be safe and sound."
Nangong Xi said: "They went to the altar to pray, and then encountered a fire? Was it a forest fire, or did some accident happen at that time?"
When Jian Yue read this sentence, countless doubts flashed through his mind.
The more clues I searched, the more doubts I had. What exactly happened at the altar that year?
"There are only three possibilities now." Jian Yue said: "The mayor lied, the miracle doctor lied, and the owner of this book lied."
Nangong Xi touched his chin and said, "There is another possibility. Maybe they are not lying?"
Jian Yue said: "Well, that's what happened to them on the mountain. They all died, and the miracle doctor was also a disciple back then. He survived and wanted to revive his people."
Nangong Xi said: "He wants to use these artifacts to revive them?"
Jian Yue nodded: "It's very likely."
"The ring is in our hands now." Nangong Xi said, "It's impossible for him to revive all the people."
Jian Yue put down the book, looked out the window, and said slowly: "So he came to find us."
Before I knew it, it had gotten dark outside. The entire night was as thick as water, and outside, there were rustling sounds, all of which were the sounds of the puppets crawling, on the eaves, behind the windows, and even at the door.
The fat man standing in the middle smiled and said, "How smart! Hand over the ring and I will spare your lives."
The miracle doctor stood under the moonlight, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
Nangong Xi was shocked. She quickly said to Jian Yue, "Butler Wang, I refreshed my card skills when I was doing a mission before, but this refreshed card skill can only transform me, and I can only transform into a small animal. What should I do now..."
Jian Yue said directly: "Then you go first."
Nangong Xi hurriedly asked: "How can this be possible?"
"One more person means more danger." Jian Yue said, "Even if you go out to tip off the enemy, you will die here."
Nangong Xi endured it, but she had no other choice, so she gritted her teeth and turned into a bird and flew away.
The doctor raised his eyebrows and said, "I knew it was you during the day. I smelled your aura. No matter what evil magic you have, Steward Wang, hand over the ring, or you won't be able to leave today."
Countless puppets swarmed in like a surging tide.
They slowly crawled towards Jian Yue, the sharp nails in their hands could tear a person into pieces easily, their dark eyes were filled with cold light, and there were puppets everywhere around them, making it impossible for them to fly away.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also shocked:
"so much!"
“Are you crazy?”
"What the hell!"
"Butler Wang's cards are not offensive either."
"Then he is in trouble this time!"
Everyone was talking about it.
Jian Yue smiled, took off his coat and asked, "Really?"
The doctor said, "Seduction? It won't work on me! Catch him now!"
Under everyone's gaze.
While the Miracle Doctor was waiting with determination to see Jian Yue kneel down and beg for mercy before being caught by the puppets, Jian Yue took a step forward and rushed out. Under the unexpected gaze of the puppets, he walked to the side of the Miracle Doctor!
Then!
He snatched the doctor's coat and put it on himself, then threw his coat back to the doctor! !
The miracle doctor's eyes widened in shock.
The puppet who was chasing Jian Yue subconsciously hit the doctor's head hard because of the breath problem!
Miracle doctor:?
no? ……
