Chapter 200 All Mortals Will Die 22
Voices from below came one after another. Jiang Yuelu turned around and asked, "What is the divine sound used to make money?"
Tong Mian was helpless, "He said so much, but you only heard this one sentence. As the name suggests, it is a divine prophecy that can guide people to make money."
"You know about divination in ancient times, right? When it comes to major events like the beginning of a new year or a major military campaign, the king would usually invite a wizard to divine the specific instructions from the tortoise shells and hexagrams."
Tong Mian raised a finger, "This is why it is so easy for our clan to grow and multiply. We pray to the gods every year, and the gods will give us prophecies. We follow the prophecies to seek benefits and avoid harm. This is the case for the Tong family, and the Leng family should be the same."
Leng Wenhan nodded.
"It's not just us, other families should be the same. They are looking for profit, which is what Wu Yeming said about making money." Tong Mian said, "But it has been a long time since we last did this."
Jiang Yuelu raised her eyebrows.
Tong Mian pointed to the sky and said, "We can't hear His voice anymore."
He said this with great emotion. He originally thought that it was in modern times, the era when they grew up, that they could no longer communicate with God. But after listening to the wizards, it seemed that the connection between heaven and earth had been cut off for a long time.
He could also understand the panic of these people.
The gods are dying and the wizards are gone.
There was no wizard who was not shocked when he heard this.
Jiang Yuelu got the explanation and changed the question, "Have you noticed that Wu Yeming's situation is very strange?"
Tong Mian knew what he was talking about, "Don't look like a traitor?"
He and Leng Wenhan had heard many times in the academy about Wu Yeming's notoriety as a traitor. He was like a hungry wolf in children's stories. It would be more shocking to tell ghost stories to the children of a wizard's family by directly mentioning Wu Yeming's name. It would be guaranteed that the children would not shed a single tear and would become completely obedient.
But this Wu Yeming was far from the villain image he had imagined.
"He sounds very reasonable." Tong Mian muttered casually, "I thought he was an unreasonable lunatic, the kind who would kill people with a knife if he disagreed with someone."
Before he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Yuelu again.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Tong Mian's tone became even weirder. "But even so, his villain value is still slightly lower than that of the Little Ghost King. No one is scarier than him."
"And you stayed in the attic with the horrible little ghost king for three days and three nights!"
Jiang Yuelu: “…”
He coughed and brought the topic back to the topic, "It's not this kind of weirdness, it's his position, which is very weak, didn't you notice?"
"According to the time, he defected during the Lantern Festival, right? But now it's only a few days away from the Lantern Festival. As a fierce god who has been cursed and passed down in history, and has been whipped by your wizards over and over again, he is now arguing with a group of people in the hall, and he can't even win the argument?"
Tong Mian uttered a sound.
Wu Yeming's cold laugh could also be heard from below, "Look at what these people look like now, do you still want to stick to your previous ideas?"
"Elders, seniors, the backbone of the Wu family. Entering the world and leaving the world are like fish and bear's paw, which cannot be obtained at the same time. If you want to enter the world, you don't have to listen to the divine voice anymore, walk away and leave cleanly. The ones who should stay here are the servants of God who have inherited the spirit of their predecessors, and the people who are leaving the world!"
"Idealistic, too idealistic!"
"Wu Yeming, Elder Wu. Are you married? Do you have children? You have never managed a family, so how can you know the difficulties of running a family!"
"We have twelve months in a year, three hundred and sixty-five days, and we only pray to the gods on one day. The rest of the days, we have to live on our own! Do you understand? Not all of us are like you, alone, guarding the altar all day long, circling around the shrine!"
…
There was another quarrel.
Tong Mian's expression was very interesting. He dared to swear that none of his classmates had ever heard someone point at Wu Yeming's nose and say, "Are you married? Do you have children?"
If he told this to others, it would definitely become the college's annual news.
He also glanced at Leng Wenhan. The expression of this cold-hearted guy didn't change much, but he could still see a hint of shock in his eyes.
Unlike Jiang Yuelu, they are the ones who feel the most about this.
Tong Mian struggled to find his voice again, "Have you noticed that no one else in the Wu family spoke." During the melee, they remained silent.
But sometimes, silence is already a statement.
Just when Jiang Yuelu wanted to say something, an unexpected voice suddenly appeared from below, "Wu Yeming, why did you betray?"
When Jiang Yuelu and others heard this familiar voice, their faces suddenly changed.
"Ghost head Xiaowu?"
Tong Mian opened his mouth silently, "Why did he go down there?"
Jiang Yuelu: "I don't know either??? Wenhan, what's going on???"
Leng Wenhan opened the group chat of three people and found that Guitou Xiaowu had sent a message not long ago, saying that he had found Wu Yeming and was now going to the altar with them.
Tong Mian: "Okay, none of us saw the message... but that's not important! Can anyone tell me what to do now? Who will bring him back?"
Leng Wenhan said solemnly: "He is seeking death."
Guitou Xiaowu is indeed looking for death.
After he finished speaking, the scene fell into an eerie silence. Wu Yeming reacted quickly and said, "What did you say? Say it again."
Guitou Xiaowu stared at him, "Why did you betray?"
Wu Yeming sneered, "Betray who? What are you talking about? No, where did you come from?" He named several names in a row, "Did you bring this person here? To cause trouble?"
“No!”
"We don't know him!"
"Tell me! Where did you come from?"
Guitou Xiaowu didn't even look at these people. He just repeated one sentence like a tape recorder. Every time he asked, Wu Yeming's face became uglier. In the end, even through a layer of dirt, Jiang Yuelu could feel his murderous intent.
Tong Mian: "What should I do now??? Who can tell me?"
Jiang Yuelu held her forehead with her hand, "Let me think about it... let me think about it..."
Damn it! He could never have imagined it!
At this moment, fog suddenly spread out around them, becoming thicker and thicker, gradually enveloping them completely.
Feelings, sounds, and mind seemed to be swallowed up by the fog. Jiang Yuelu could no longer see the cave before. He rose and fell in the chaos, and then woke up with a splitting headache.
"Uh ah..." He sat up, covering his head.
Like him, Leng Wenhan and Tong Mian also sat up with distorted faces. They had returned to the previous time, and the blind guy was looking at their expressions to see if there was anything wrong.
Jiang Yuelu: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The blind elder said, "If you become lost in time and unable to return, and become monsters, I will deal with you immediately."
Tong Mian groaned, "Does dealing with it mean killing us?"
The other party nodded.
Tong Mian was furious. "Why didn't you tell me such an important thing at the beginning? I don't want to die in your hands without any preparation!"
The blind elder looked in another direction. "It's not impossible for this situation to happen, so be prepared. You guys are lucky. If you were like him and were too immersed in the past, you wouldn't be able to come back here."
He was talking about Guitou Xiaowu.
He woke up only after Jiang Yuelu and others woke up. There was a big head on top of his head, and he could hear the wheezing sound from inside. It seemed like the first time he felt such pain.
Next to him, there was a person who had woken up a long time ago but didn't say a word.
Tong Mian: "Mo Zhixian! Where have you been? We are all looking for you!"
Mo Zhixian shook his head, looking like he had aged ten years. "It's hard to explain. I came to a very strange place. That place..."
The blind man suddenly said, "Let's not talk about this for now. If I hadn't woken you up in advance, you wouldn't be able to find anyone to tell me. I'm afraid you wouldn't even know where the person is."
Jiang Yuelu gave him a strange look.
Mo Zhixian was about to speak, but was interrupted by this man. He was deliberately not letting him finish.
Jiang Yuelu asked, "So you asked us to come back because you were afraid something might happen to us?"
The blind elder nodded and said, "You must always remember that these things have already happened. Those who died in there will not come back, and those who betrayed will not get an answer..." At this point, he suddenly smiled meaningfully, and Jiang Yuelu frowned.
"Friends who have been apart for a long time will never really know each other again. That's all in the past."
Jiang Yuelu took a deep breath and said with a smile: "This ceremony is too arbitrary. Can it be stopped at any time? It's too trifling."
The blind man ignored him and continued, "Of course there are other things that we need to do to wake you up. If we don't remind you, you won't be able to complete the task we entrusted to you, which would go against our original intention."
Jiang Yuelu: "What's the matter?"
He immediately added: "No need to tell me the bad news."
Since coming to this examination room, first an important member of their team fell ill, and then the NPC gave them an important task to travel through time and space to save the world... He really couldn't think of any bad things that wouldn't happen.
When I thought about this, I faintly recalled a picture.
It was a scene in the attic where he was communicating face to face with a newborn god.
Jiang Yuelu's nerves inevitably relaxed. Those few days were truly the most relaxed and happiest time for him...
Thinking of this, his lazy nerves suddenly started to shudder - the blind man was right, he almost became addicted to this dream of the past and couldn't extricate himself.
He took a deep breath and tried to divert his attention.
Keep telling yourself.
That was just the Xia Yi and Jiang Yuelu of the past.
You just suddenly participated in a period of time when he appeared in the world, which does not change anything. You don’t even know whether you really knew him, and you can’t remember it at all.
After repeating it many times, he finally calmed down and said, "By the way, this time when we went there, we were called back by you before we even got to the most crucial event of that night. As for the person you mentioned, we didn't have time to find him."
The blind man said, "That's what I want to tell you."
"The secret of this ritual is that not only can you act in your dreams, but we can also act outside. I know all of what you said in advance."
So outrageous?
Jiang Yuelu was skeptical, "How did you do that?"
The blind man said, "This is our sect's unique skill. I have nothing to tell you." His gaze lingered on a few people.
"Although I cannot explain it, please believe that we have fully sensed the ripples of fate. You must have met the target of the mission you were looking for."
Leng Wenhan and Tong Mian thought silently, and a figure immediately appeared in their minds.
This person corresponds to the family in the past.
Even in the past, they were people who could have a significant impact on the family. It was not difficult to imagine what consequences people like them would cause in the war between ghosts and witches.
It was that consequence...that guided them here?
Jiang Yuelu knew what they said came true when he saw their expressions, but Guitou Xiaowu said nothing. He also knew that to him, that person was no one else but Wu Yeming.
As for himself...
Inevitably, the image of the attic reappeared in his mind.
"Ahh!" Jiang Yuelu hit his head hard, cutting off the image before it could spread to Xia Yi.
Tong Mian looked at him in bewilderment, "You never suddenly screamed before... You weren't really affected by the person possessed in your dream, were you?"
Jiang Yuelu looks like someone around seventeen or eighteen years old!
Not mature at all, not reliable at all!
"Were you and the little devil king staying in..."
“Ahhhh! Stop talking!” Jiang Yuelu covered his mouth and waved her hand, saying, “Send us back quickly. I promise to complete the mission this time!”
The blind man smiled and said, "Then I wish you all the best."
When the smoke was so thick that it was about to engulf all the figures, he spoke again quietly, "Even we can't send you back for the third time. This is the last time. Jiang Yuelu, I'm betting everything on you. You must find that thing and don't let me down."
The people in the thick fog were drowsy and could no longer answer his questions.
Because Tong Mian and Mo Zhixian were poisoned, they were both soaked in a wooden barrel. The black petals on their necks rose and fell with the waves. Suddenly, a petal fell into the water, quickly dyeing the entire barrel of water black.
The black water is bottomless and no one knows where it leads to.
The blind man stretched out his hand and pressed it on the water. As if he had touched something solid, he sighed happily, as if he was having a conversation with the black water.
"Okay, I know. I will avenge you as soon as possible."
Black bubbles gurgled from the water surface, emitting a breath of pain and despair.
"oh?"
"You are dissatisfied with what I said. Fine, fine, I will revise it. Really, is it necessary for you brothers to be so clear about the differences?"
"I will avenge your brother—" His blind eyes glowed, making him look sick and twisted, "Is this okay? Guiduduzhu, the younger brother of the twins."
"The flower of evil that spreads despair."
"——Luo Xiaola."
