Chapter 156 You old witch, you are simply insane
"Lolo, you always wronged me when we were little!"
The voice of Dahua is crisp and tender, yet it carries a hint of maturity that comes from going through many vicissitudes of life, which is very inconsistent with its small body.
Jia Luo's eyes widened, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. After a long while, he stammered and asked, "Dahua, Dahua, can you speak? Have you recovered your strength?"
Dahua gently shook off the fur on her body that had just been cleaned by the cleaning charm, and a barely perceptible cunning flashed across her emerald eyes: "Humph, it's just recovered a little. When I was in my prime, this little beast is not even good enough."
Wen Lingyue and Wan Yan also gathered around at this moment. Wan Yan squatted down and curiously stretched out his hand to touch Dahua, but was afraid of offending it, so his hand hung awkwardly in the air: "Dahua, who are you? You have been hiding it well before."
Dahua turned her head away proudly, avoiding Wan Yan's hand: "I am a descendant of the ancient spirit cat clan, and I have mysterious spiritual power. It's a pity that my master was not ambitious and was framed and thrown into the human world. I could only follow him to the human world pitifully. Who would have thought that I would be sealed and my memory erased after I came down like this."
As he said this, he rolled his eyes and looked at Jia Luo.
Jia Luo looked embarrassed, scratched his head and said nothing.
After hearing this, Wan Yan hesitated and said, "Could it be that the master you are talking about is Luo Luo?"
Dahua snorted, "Humph, who else could it be but her? She is so disappointing that she was framed by a little maid. This is the only one in the world!"
Jia Luo's face turned pale and red, and she stammered to explain: "Dahua, I didn't know anything at that time..."
Dahua glanced at her with disdain: "Humph, you are just a fool! Back then, you were a goddess in the divine world. You were so glorious and had so many eyes on you. Who could have expected that you would suffer such a disaster?"
Wan Yan scratched his head and asked curiously, "Then Dahua, what happened in the past that caused Luo Luo to be banished to the mortal world and your power to be sealed?"
Dahua's eyes flashed with anger: "It was that jealous little maid. She coveted Jialuo's status and spiritual power, secretly colluded with the remaining soul of the demon god, and framed Jialuo, causing her to violate the laws of the divine world. And I, as Jialuo's contracted spiritual pet, was naturally implicated and was thrown into the mortal world by the sealing power to suffer."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, let's deal with the matter at hand first!"
After hearing what Dahua said, everyone was shocked by Jialuo's past, but they also understood that the most urgent task was to find the saint first, deal with the Dragon King, and save the animals in this mountain.
Wan Yan took a deep breath and looked into the distance: "Da Hua is right. Finding the Saint and getting rid of the Gu King is the top priority right now."
"Dad, Fourth Brother, you guys take a break, we'll continue on our way, it's almost dark, we have to find a safe place before dark!"
As Jialuo spoke, he gently picked up Dahua and looked around.
Although Wen Lingyue and Wan Yan looked tired, they still nodded and packed their luggage.
Soon, dusk spread rapidly like a tide, shrouding the mountains and forests in darkness.
Wan Yan held the peach wood sword tightly in his hand and threw out a lighting talisman, illuminating a short distance ahead for everyone.
"Everyone, be careful. It's pitch dark here and there might be some danger." He reminded in a low voice.
Dahua squatted on Jialuo's shoulder, squinting her eyes and snoreing to rest.
The group walked for a long time along the winding mountain road. The forest became increasingly deep and quiet. Only the sound of their footsteps and the occasional cries of startled birds and animals broke the silence.
Jia Luo looked up at the night sky from time to time. The stars were obscured by thick clouds, and there was almost no light. The night was as dark as ink, as if it was going to swallow them up.
Just when everyone was exhausted, Dahua suddenly stood up on Jialuo's shoulder, with his ears raised high, his green eyes staring at a valley in front of him, and a slight "wuwu" sound came out of his mouth.
Jia Luo noticed something was wrong and asked softly, "Da Hua, what's wrong?"
Dahua meowed and pointed its front paws in the direction of the valley, signaling everyone to move forward.
Following Dahua's instructions, everyone quickened their pace and walked towards the valley.
As they approached the entrance of the valley, a faint fishy odor hit their faces, instantly dispelling the fatigue of several people.
Wan Yan vigilantly grasped the peach wood sword and stepped into the valley first, followed closely by Jia Luo and Wen Lingyue.
What comes into view is a quiet bamboo forest, with bamboo leaves rustling in the night wind.
In the bamboo forest, an ancient bamboo house is looming, with faint lights flickering outside the house.
"Could this be the residence of the Saint?" Wen Lingyue whispered softly, his eyes full of surprise.
Everyone was delighted and approached the bamboo house cautiously.
Jialuo gently put Dahua down and signaled it not to make any sound. Dahua nodded obediently and followed her closely.
The faint fishy smell became stronger as they got closer to the bamboo house. Wan Yan thought to himself that there must be something strange here. The spiritual power of the peach wood sword in his hand flowed more and more rapidly, and a faint glow was emitted.
At this moment, an old voice came from inside the house: "Since you have already found this place, why do you still hide?"
The sound seemed to penetrate the bamboo wall and hit everyone's ears directly, revealing a sense of sadness and coldness.
Everyone looked at each other, Wan Yan took a deep breath and said loudly: "Is there a saint in the house?"
After the words were spoken, there was no response from inside the house for a long time. Only the flickering candlelight could be heard, and the light and shadows swayed on the window frames, casting some strange shapes.
Just when everyone thought there would be no response, the bamboo door creaked slowly and opened a crack, allowing dim light to leak out, but no one was seen.
Wan Yan held the peach wood sword tightly, leaned forward, and moved cautiously towards the door. Jia Luo and Wen Lingyue followed closely behind him, while Da Hua lowered his body, with his hair slightly raised, ready to attack at any time.
When we stepped into the house, we saw an old woman with white hair and shaggy skin standing in the middle of the room with her back to everyone. The stone table in front of her was filled with various bottles and jars filled with unknown herbs, powders, and wriggling worms.
The fishy smell that permeates the air comes from here.
"What are you little brats doing in my valley?"
The old woman turned slowly. Her face was full of wrinkles and the years had left deep marks on her face, but her eyes were filled with viciousness.
"Huh, old woman, wasn't it you who used that light to lead us up the mountain?" Jia Luo said in a baby voice.
Hearing this, the old woman looked at Jia Luo, with a flash of surprise in her eyes, and then she burst into a shrill laugh: "Hahaha, little kid, you are smart. But you guys are really capable. In the past, those guys who barged into my forest would become food for my 'treasures' before they even saw the appearance of my bamboo house!"
Having said this, she paused, her eyes suddenly turned sinister, and she glanced coldly at everyone.
"Hmph, even if you found this place by accident, what can you do? In the end, you will still have to become nutrients for my babies!"
"With your spiritual power, you two can definitely train another Dragon King for me!"
When Jia Luo heard this, he was filled with anger: "You old witch, you are simply insane. You actually used the lives of those innocent people to feed you worms."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jialuo quickly took out a piece of talisman paper and threw it straight at the bottles and jars on the table.
