Chu really understands it!
He and Mo Jing had both become beggars. What was going on in this strange village? Looking at their expressions, it seemed as if their words were insincere, as if they were performing a set performance.
Yun Zheng wanted to call out Mo Jing's name, but instead she spoke in a persuasive tone: "Mo...young man, stop begging at such a young age. Go find a job."
After hearing this, Mo Jing was stunned.
Yun Zheng: “…”
Her face looked strange, and she felt more and more that this place was very similar to the illusion she had experienced on the double-sided island in the Holy Ruins.
She was basically certain that this was an illusion with 'rules', a force so strong that anyone who fell into it would be unable to resist.
So, what is the key to breaking this illusion?
At this moment, the enthusiastic young man Tian Fan looked embarrassed when he saw so many beggars coming to beg. He touched his trouser pocket, gritted his teeth, and gave a few copper coins to the beggars.
Chu Mingbai realized that there was also a copper coin in the broken bowl. He immediately held the broken bowl with both hands and bowed continuously in the direction of Tian Fan.
"Thank you, thank you benefactor, you are so kind..."
Chu understood that as he was saying such shameful words, his expression became even more distorted. He was the young master of the Chu family, and now he had become a beggar! What kind of a hellish place was this?
What was even more abominable was that the people of Wuzhou, whom he hated so much, actually saw him in this embarrassing state...
Tian Fan said, "You're welcome. I know you all fled from other villages. If it weren't for those monsters, you wouldn't have become disabled and have to beg for a living all day."
Disabled?!
Mo Jing and Chu understood what was said and were stunned for a moment. They were not disabled!
The village chief said, "Don't block the road for now. Let the Taoist priest stay at my house first."
Upon hearing this, the beggars wisely made way for the Taoist couple, and Mo Jing and Chu Minglei were also forced to retreat. But as they walked, they found something wrong. They looked down and found that he was limping.
Mo Jing seemed to have a broken left leg, and Chu Mingbai seemed to have a broken right leg.
“???”
Chu was furious and terrified. Could he really be disabled? He quickly reached out and touched his right leg, but found no sensation.
Chu understood and was terrified.
He reached out and pinched the thigh flesh several times, but there was no pain at all.
Chu understood the fear in the man's eyes and he quickly figured out the reason. He suddenly turned to look at the young man Tian Fan.
Just now this young man said that they were disabled, and they really became disabled. All this is the fault of this young man!
He rushed towards Tian Fan angrily, trying to capture him to break the deadlock, and at the same time growled.
“I’ve already…” I’ve seen through you!
However, before he could finish the rest of his words, there was a loud bang, his foot slipped, he fell to the ground, and his face hit the dirt.
“Pooh, pooh, pooh! But…” Damn!
The village chief and his entourage seemed unaware of his behavior and continued to enthusiastically lead Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng took this scene in, then looked at Mo Jing calmly. She went forward with the village chief and others, while Mo Jing continued to stay here to "beg".
After they walked away, Chu Mingbai stood up with an angry look on his face. He wanted to follow them, but an invisible barrier blocked his progress, as if trapping him in this place.
"Damn it!" Chu Mingbai cursed.
After cursing, he still wasn't satisfied, so he turned his anger on Mo Jing, a fellow beggar. He sneered, "Do you really want to be a beggar?! We'll never get out unless we break this illusion!"
"There's no point in being anxious now." Mo Jing just smiled.
Chu understood what he said, took a deep breath, and thought to himself, well, he would stay here and see what happens.
Thinking of this, Chu Mingdao was about to find a place to sit down, but he found that several beggars were sitting next to the house. There was some damp mud on the ground, which looked very dirty and unkempt.
His eyes suddenly turned into one of disgust.
Mo Jing has already blended in very well and is no different from an ordinary beggar.
Chu understood and said with disgust: "He is indeed an inferior person!"
Mo Jing heard this and just smiled, "Brother, we are all the same now."
Chu understood and his expression darkened. "Who is like you?!"
…
Yun Zheng was soon invited to the village chief's house. The village chief's house was the largest house in the entire village, and it was a tiled house, but it looked a little shabby.
The tables and chairs in the lobby are also worn out and even a bit dilapidated.
Yun Zheng sat on the best stool. She looked at the group of villagers in front of her. Almost all of them had flattering and respectful smiles on their faces, except for the young man Tian Fan.
"Hmph." Tian Fan crossed his arms over his chest, his brows raised and his eyes cold. He still didn't believe that Yun Zheng could get rid of those monsters.
Yun Zheng looked at the village chief standing guard at one side and said, "Village chief, can you tell me what kind of monsters are harassing Tian Village?"
"I... I don't know what kind of monsters they are," the village chief said with difficulty. "I only know that there are six monsters in total! They all eat people! Taoist priest, you've seen along the way that there are not many children in our Tian Village anymore..."
"These monsters are cannibals! They love to eat young children the most! Two years ago, these monsters suddenly appeared and forced us to sacrifice our young children to them... to eat. We had no choice but to do as they said."
The village chief became more and more panicked as he spoke, and the fear in his eyes did not seem fake.
The villagers' expressions were terrified, but sad at the same time.
Yun Zheng frowned upon hearing this, and suddenly tapped her fingers on the table twice, "Why don't you run away?"
The atmosphere suddenly became depressing.
The village chief was in tears, "Our roots are in Tiancun, we can't escape!"
"What root?" Yun Zheng quickly caught the key word.
Tian Fan interrupted coldly, "How could I possibly tell you the secrets of our Tian Village? If you have the ability, get rid of these monsters!"
Yun Zheng looked displeased and raised her eyes slightly to stare at Tian Fan.
When Tian Fan met her gaze, he was suddenly startled and took a step back in fear.
Yun Zheng slowly stood up and said calmly, "I don't owe you anything to Tiancun. Your attitude is so bad that it really disappoints me. You should find another Taoist priest."
When the village chief and others heard this, their faces changed in shock.
"Master, please don't!"
"Yes, Tianfan has such a bad temper. We apologize to you on his behalf!"
Yun Zheng was firm, "Let him speak for himself."
Tian Fan felt humiliated when he heard this. He clenched his fists and said, "You..."
The village chief and others looked at Tian Fan with pleading eyes.
Tian Fan could only grit his teeth and said, "I'm sorry."
