If there really is a inherited underground palace waiting for them to excavate, then the contribution of the bull demon who provided the clues is enormous.
It is very likely that it will directly greatly enhance the strength of their team by several levels, contribute to the severe situation they are about to face in the northern border, and increase their chances of winning.
Therefore, Feng Ling would consider any question raised by the Bull Demon. "What's your request?" Feng Ling looked sincere, as if he was listening attentively. His attitude was neither perfunctory nor arrogant.
"Can I, mother and I, follow you? We can be your mounts. We are hardworking and can endure hardships. We are very useful." After the bull demon said this, he suddenly transformed into a black and strong bull, but missing one horn.
Feng Ling looked at the beautiful yet flawed cow in front of her in astonishment. She even knew to cover her tail with a shawl. Perhaps this was what made her different from ordinary livestock.
Can I get a mount? Feng Ling never thought that the Bull Demon would make such a request, but, "You don't understand our situation. We are going north. There are demons in the north. We may end up joining the army and fighting. It's very dangerous.
The journey will not be easy either. Various accidents or natural disasters may occur. Are you sure you want to follow us?"
It’s not that Feng Ling dislikes this minor injury, but the future of their group is uncertain, so why should they implicate others?
When she heard the word "demon", the bull demon's body shrank unconsciously. It was obvious that she had seen a real monster. Wherever it went, everything became lifeless.
Is another war about to break out? Are these people going to eliminate the monsters? The bull demon opened his mouth and transformed back into human form. "You are still a little weak. You have no chance of winning against the monsters."
Although they easily defeated the three Taoist priests, the demons were more than a hundred times stronger than the Taoist priests, and the Bull Demon was not optimistic about Feng Ling and the others.
"Yes, but we have reasons to go, so we practice while walking." Feng Ling was not afraid, but had a sense of anticipation that was eager to try.
The Bull Demon instantly understood what Feng Ling meant. Danger and opportunity coexist. If you don't show courage, you will never know where your bottom line is. "Then I'll go too, okay?"
She likes Feng Ling, and her son also needs companionship. They need to rely on a force to change their current situation. Anyway, they can no longer stay in this area, so they might as well follow Feng Ling.
Although it is dangerous, it is also an opportunity.
"Okay, let Tao Yao lead you. We'll go to the underground palace later. Tell me first..."
When going on an adventure, one must be fully prepared. Feng Ling has prepared corresponding measures for all possible troubles, at least various types of talismans are necessary.
Tao Yao also joined in the discussion, and several people were discussing it heatedly. Over there, the teams going to the village and the mountain temple arrived at the same time.
Some women in the village came running over, their faces filled with anxiety. Seeing the village chief, they felt relieved, as if they had found a reassurance. "Village chief, what's going on? Those guys took us to the witch's house to search for something."
We've found so many offerings from previous years. Aren't these all for the mountain god?" Seeing the two bound witches, the villagers knew the answer.
They were cheated!
The monthly offerings to the mountain god are not just food, but also some cloth, etc. Those are all the hard-earned money of the villagers, but they were all embezzled by the witch. Is that why the mountain god is angry?
At the mountain temple, the two witches and their disciples were tied up, and some villagers who came to help were also carrying offerings from previous periods.
They also discovered a basement under the mountain temple, where they found a mad woman covered in bruises, who was the previous human sacrifice.
All the evidence is clear, everything the Bull Demon said is true.
"We were deceived by a witch. They teamed up with a few Taoist priests to kill the earth bull, causing it to go crazy and turn over, collapsing our houses, crushing our villagers to death, defrauding us of our offerings, and killing decent girls..."
"Oh my God! It's bad enough that they cheated us out of offerings, but why do they even want human sacrifices?"
"Is there even a need to ask? Look, they picked out beautiful girls, of course, to be played with by the Taoist priests."
"But wasn't the first girl killed by bloodletting?"
"Maybe it's for the realistic effect..." to scare the villagers.
"That old Taoist priest even said that he was the county magistrate's father." He actually did such a heinous thing.
"That was a demon. He made all of us deaf when he played the harp. Fortunately, a fairy healed us."
"Yes, yes, such a vicious person, the county magistrate came and attacked us without saying a word. It's terrible. He is a dog official."
"What should we do with this bastard official? Will he let him out? How will he retaliate against us in the future?"
He is an official, and they are the common people. Just thinking about it makes their life pointless. The villagers started to talk about it.
"The new sacrifice is lucky..." He has not been ruined by the Taoist priests, otherwise he would have gone crazy.
Pei Rujun also felt lucky. She had nervously followed the unfamiliar guards here, and unexpectedly ran into her fiancé?!
So he rushed towards Wu Gong with bangs, "Yuwen Gong! Wuwu... I finally found you, wuwu..."
Wu Gong was suddenly tackled by a woman in red with a dirty face. His face immediately turned dark. "Pei Rujun? Why are you here?"
He had thought the bound human sacrifice looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he'd seen it before. Ah! So it really was this idiot? Why didn't she just stay in the capital?
Wu Gong raised his hand and grabbed the girl up. His movements were extremely rough and he had no sense of being a fiancé at all.
"I, I came to find you." The girl cried breathlessly and didn't care about being treated rudely, as if she was used to it.
"Why did you come to see me? You've never seen a man before, right? Now you're so ignorant that you almost got caught and used as a slave. I don't think you dare to run around anymore."
Wu Gongquan looked impatient, a typical scumbag.
"Wow... I don't know how it turned out like this. I thought I was safe at the prefect's uncle's place, but I was just shopping with my cousin when I was drugged and taken away by Paihuazi.
I was sold from one place to another, and then those people wanted to use me as a human sacrifice. It was so scary, I thought I was going to be slaughtered.
The result is, woo woo..." If she really wants to be toyed with by a few Taoist priests, it would be better to sacrifice to the sky directly. The girl cried so hard that her tears flowed down.
"Are you a pig? I've told you to stay away from your cousins. They even covet a monk like me. How can they be good people?"
Who told you to be disobedient? Look, you were sold out, right? But don’t you have kung fu skills? Can a beggar knock you out? You are really a loser.
Wu Gong was still not satisfied, so he shook off Pei Rujun and rushed towards the Taoist priests, using his hands and feet to punch and kick the dying Taoist priests.
Pei Rujun acted like a young wife, relying on her fiancé the entire time, jogging after him and watching him beat someone up...
Feng Ling was stunned. People's hearts have changed. Even monks have wives.
