Chapter 442 The Goddess Shows Her Power
442
But perhaps influenced by local culture, although this person was confused and unwilling, he did not dare to show any resentment in his eyes. Tang Yue felt that gaze and understood in her heart that this person must be related to those people in the corner.
"Everyone, get up."
The old man thanked the goddess before standing up with everyone else. Tang Yue got straight to the point, "You're asking me to help you find the missing girl in your county?"
The old man raised his head in a flash. They were a little skeptical that the goddess could walk in the sky just now, but this goddess whom they had never met knew what they were praying for. Who else could know this except that she was a fairy from heaven?
Their county town had been closed for nearly ten days. During this period, no one had left. It was impossible for outsiders to know what was happening in their county town. This could only be attributed to the power of the goddess in front of them.
"Yes, Goddess. Since eight days ago, young girls have been disappearing in the county every day. At first, three or four would disappear at a time. Later, we discovered this and began to be on full alert. The number has decreased in recent days, but at least one girl still disappears every day.
Please ask the goddess to help us find those lost girls."
After the old man finished speaking, he knelt down again and saluted. Naturally, the others followed suit, and many of the families who had lost their children burst into tears.
Tang Yue didn't have the experience of performing shamanic rituals like a wizard; she was always very efficient. She raised her hand and said, "Everyone, get up. The person you're looking for is still in the county, right in front of you."
Tang Yue spoke authentic Bianyue Mandarin, which was quite different from what they were saying. Furthermore, Tang Yue had to rely on guesswork to understand what the old man was saying.
The old man led everyone to stand up again, and they began to look around. The girls in the corner were very excited. At this moment, their faces were covered with tears, and the light of hope in their eyes was about to overflow.
"No, where is it?"
"The goddess said it was right in front of us, but there's nothing in front of us."
The old man also looked around, but he really didn't see anything. Tang Yue lightly landed from mid-air and then walked step by step towards the northwest corner of the county. No one in the county was confused as to why Tang Yue was going there. Wasn't it just an empty corner?
One person in the crowd began to panic. "No, this is impossible. No one could possibly see through this formation. Absolutely impossible." He stared at Tang Yue in horror as she retreated to a corner.
With a gentle pull, he pulled out a girl who was tied up with hemp ropes and had her mouth blocked with rags.
As soon as everyone saw the girl, the couple behind the old man immediately rushed towards her, and the old man's emotions were also fluctuating.
"Ah Zhen, Ah Zhen, why are you here? Ah Zhen, my Ah Zhen is back, thank God!"
The mother pulled the rag out of Ah Zhen's mouth. Ah Zhen had no strength left, but the moment she saw her mother, she burst into tears and threw herself into her mother's arms, crying uncontrollably.
The others were shocked when they saw this scene. The families who had lost their daughters all looked at Tang Yue. Before they could kneel down and beg, Tang Yue had already walked in and carried the girls out one by one.
There were 12 girls tied up and thrown here. After Tang Yue dragged them all out, the whole area was filled with crying. Tang Yue stood quietly to the side, not participating in the family reunion.
After everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, the old man led everyone to kneel and kowtow again, "Thank you for your great kindness, goddess. I, Ruan Wenxiong, have no way to repay you. I wish to serve you for the rest of my life."
The others followed Ruan Wenxiong in chanting their names, declaring their commitment to lifelong service to the goddess. Tang Yue didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but she had no intention of accepting these people. This trick might work in Bian Yue, but if it were to happen in China, even if she thought she was powerful, she wouldn't be able to defeat China's hundreds of millions of people.
What's more, they are not enemies.
Tang Yue's small hand moved upwards gently, and a gentle spiritual power overflowed from between her fingers. All the people kneeling on the ground felt at the same time as if there was a force gently lifting them up, and they stood up unconsciously.
"It's just a trivial matter. There's no need to make such a fuss. Now that the person has been found, this goddess will leave."
After saying this, his body slowly rose into the air.
"Goddess, can you wait?"
Ruan Wenxiong truly didn't want the goddess to leave. If he'd only believed her 30% at the beginning, by now, he was completely convinced. Putting aside other things, just the power that had just lifted him up was something he was certain was not something a human should possess.
Tang Yue looked down at Ruan Wenxiong, "What else?"
Ruan Wenxiong suppressed his thoughts and tried to kneel, but found he couldn't. He was still stunned when a voice came from above him, "Just speak directly, no need to keep kneeling."
"Yes!" Ruan Wenxiong prepared himself mentally. "Goddess, a total of 19 girls have gone missing in the county, and only 12 have been found. Please tell me where the others went."
Tang Yue lowered her gaze and looked at the old man, "There's a traitor inside your county. I think you should ask him about the whereabouts of those girls."
The man hiding in the dark corner shuddered. However, he didn't stand out, still holding on to hope. "No, the goddess can't really be that powerful. Can she know everything?"
The old man became even more excited when he heard this, and so did the others. A traitor among their own people? How could this be possible? The people in their county were the most united, and they all listened to the county magistrate. How could anyone dare to disobey and mess around?
After people became suspicious, they felt that the goddess would not lie. Could it be that there really was a traitor among their own people?
Ruan Wenxiong didn't dare to kneel again, but he really wanted to know the truth as soon as possible and get those children back quickly.
"Please ask the goddess for guidance."
Tang Yue stretched out her hand and pointed directly at the person hiding in the dark, "Ask him and you'll know everything!"
Several people looked in the direction of the goddess's finger, only to see Agui trembling all over, his eyes filled with fear. Now everyone was confused. Ruan Wenxiong waved his hand, and immediately several strong men came out and held Agui down.
"Agui? Why is it Agui? He has so much power, how could he do such a thing?"
"That's right, why would Agui do this? What good will it do him?"
Agui was held down by several men and knelt on the ground. "I didn't do it, I didn't do it! Uncle, uncle, I am innocent, uncle, don't listen to this..." He wanted to say that she was a witch, but he didn't dare to say it. He was afraid that he really offended the gods.
But if this goddess wasn't a deity, no! She definitely was! Apart from anything else, her eyes, which saw through everything, were enough to convince people.
Ruan Wenxiong wasn't in the habit of interrogating people afterward, so he asked directly in front of everyone. "Agui, the people in the county have been very kind to you, why did you do this? Today, in front of the goddess, why don't you confess your crimes?"
Ah Gui was being held, still struggling desperately. No, he couldn't admit it. He couldn't admit it. If he did, he would really have no chance of survival.
"No! She is not a goddess, she is a liar, a liar!" Agui shouted with all his might.
Tang Yue raised her eyebrows. Oh, this guy is quite smart, isn't he? However, it's not used at the right time.
Tang Yue flicked her finger, and Agui, who had been struggling so hard, suddenly became unable to move. He widened his eyes in horror. He had just lowered his head and struggled, so naturally he couldn't see Tang Yue's expression, but he knew it must have been Tang Yue who did it.
Fear instantly struck his heart. This, this was truly a goddess. Could he still resist?
Several men who were holding Agui felt that Agui stopped struggling all of a sudden. They didn't understand why at first, but later they realized that it wasn't that Agui didn't want to struggle anymore, but that he really couldn't move.
"How can I allow you to defame the divine power of this goddess? If you insult me again, I will destroy you to ashes!"
