Upon hearing this, Yun Zheng simply said, "Speak with the same vigor you had just now."
"I'm sorry!" Facing the pleading eyes of many villagers, Tian Fan could only suppress his dissatisfaction and shouted loudly.
Yun Zheng glanced at Tian Fan coldly, then looked at the village chief and asked calmly, "Village chief, can you tell me now what the roots of your Tian Village are? Why is it the reason why you don't leave Tian Village?"
The village chief showed an embarrassment on his face. He said, "Master, I can't tell you."
Yun Zheng seemed to be thinking about something, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she asked, "When will those monsters come?"
"At midnight tonight," the village chief replied. He was silent for a few seconds, then spoke excitedly, "They will come tonight to seize the children offered as sacrifices in Tian Village. Taoist priest, you must help us. One day, our Tian Village will be completely destroyed by these monsters!"
Yun Zheng responded softly, showing no emotion.
Just then, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the house.
Following the sound, I saw a simple middle-aged couple pulling over a little girl with pale cheeks, and behind them were two young men.
These two young men are...disciples of the three major families.
When they saw Yun Zheng, their eyes were filled with shock. They looked at each other and could only suppress the surprise in their hearts.
Yun Zheng's eyes were slightly deep. It seemed that many disciples were trapped in an illusion.
The middle-aged couple came over holding the little girl's hand, and said worriedly, "Village Chief, we have brought the little girl here."
The little girl was thin, but her eyes were unusually bright. She looked at them timidly and fearfully, wanting to hide behind the middle-aged couple, but they pressed her down on the spot.
"Wuuu... Wuuuu Dad, Mom..." The little girl became more and more frightened, tears welling up in her eyes.
Xiao Ya found that her parents turned their heads away and ignored her. She turned to look for help at the two young people behind the middle-aged couple, tears streaming down her face, sobbing, "Brother, sister, I don't want to be eaten by monsters."
The two disciples' expressions were somewhat moved when they heard Xiao Ya's crying voice.
In fact, when they came, they knew that the little girl was going to be sacrificed to the monster by the villagers. Although they thought it was an illusion, they were still somewhat touched.
After all, they are not heartless.
The male disciple wanted to persuade the middle-aged couple, but he didn't expect to start with, "Little girl, your sacrifice is worth it to protect the people of Tiancun. Stop crying. Look at those children in the past, how many of them cried? If you cry again, Big Brother will beat you!"
The tone is very heartless.
After saying this, the male disciple was slightly shocked and a look of shame appeared on his face.
He actually said such words to a little girl who was less than seven years old...
"Isn't it shameful?!" The middle-aged man pinched Xiao Ya's cheek hard, as if to warn her. Then he forcibly pulled Xiao Ya's hand and pulled her in front of the village chief.
"Wow, wow, wow..." The little girl cried loudly.
The middle-aged man said, "Village Chief, I'll leave Xiaoya to you."
The village chief reached out and held Xiaoya's hand. Seeing her crying so sadly, his old face was also quite moved. He suddenly remembered something and looked up in the direction of Yun Zheng. "Master, you must save us, save this child!"
"Yes, Taoist Priest, you are so powerful, you will definitely kill those monsters!"
The other villagers quickly echoed.
Yun Zheng's expression remained unchanged. She just raised her eyes and glanced at Tian Fan. She found that he was silent at the moment and no one knew what he was thinking.
Xiao Ya looked towards Yun Zheng with tears in her eyes, her shoulders shaking. "Sister Taoist, I don't want to die..."
"I'll do my best to help you," Yun Zheng said calmly. "The monster will arrive at midnight. I need to prepare some tools in Tiancun and survey the village's terrain to facilitate my rituals and resist the monster's invasion. In the meantime, I need some strong young men to help me carry some things."
"Okay, okay." The village chief felt hopeful after hearing the Taoist priest's profound words.
"I'll go find some strong young men for you."
"Yes." Yun Zheng nodded slightly. She pointed at the two young people who came with the middle-aged couple and said, "You two should follow me."
The two disciples looked surprised when they heard this.
I responded subconsciously.
"Yes, Taoist priest."
Yun Zheng originally wanted to ask Tian Fan to follow her, but she couldn't say it out loud, as if someone had placed some kind of restriction on her.
The key figure in this illusion is probably closely related to Tian Fan.
His every word and action could cause drastic changes in the disciples who were trapped in the illusion.
Yun Zheng walked out of the village chief's house and looked up at the sky. It was about an hour before sunset, so she had to quickly find her friends and the loopholes or the key points of this illusion.
The villagers followed her, and the village chief went to gather people himself.
Tian Fan stayed in the village chief's house to look after the little girl.
Yun Zheng frowned slightly and said to the villagers, "There's no need for so many people to follow me. You can just wait here for news from me."
The villagers were stunned for a moment. When they wanted to follow, they were frightened by Yun Zheng's deep eyes, so they had to agree.
Suddenly, the sound of a cart was heard from the front.
Yun Zheng looked up and saw a one-armed middle-aged man pushing a cart selling sweet potatoes with one hand. The wheel occasionally hit the stones on the ground, causing the cart to rise and fall.
She raised her eyebrows, another acquaintance.
When the one-armed middle-aged man saw Yun Zheng, his expression suddenly turned ferocious, his eyes filled with resentment.
The middle-aged man was Wanqi Shan!
The eyes of the two disciples standing behind Yun Zheng brightened when they saw Wanqi Shan.
The Third Elder Wanqi is also here!
The moment Wanqi Shan saw Yun Zheng, he felt a sense of danger. A voice in his heart seemed to be telling him that if he didn't hide, he would surely die at Yun Zheng's hands.
He wanted to let go of the cart and run away, but found that his hands seemed to be stuck to the handle of the cart. His face was gloomy, he gritted his teeth, and ran away with the cart!
There was a soft sound of 'bang bang bang'.
Because the cart was pushed too hard, the sweet potatoes kept falling down.
The villagers called out enthusiastically.
"Guan bro! Why are you running so fast?!"
"Your sweet potato fell!"
"Melon guy!"
Seeing this, Yun Zheng's eyes darkened and she quickly followed.
It would be best if we could get rid of Wanqishan in this illusion! Don't miss this opportunity!
"Master Taoist! Master Taoist!" The villagers were confused when they saw Yun Zheng chasing after Gualao. They were afraid that the Taoist priest would run away and leave their Tian Village, so they also started to chase after him.
