That's why I had the courage to leave!
If she were in the position of this evil spirit, facing such a life-or-death situation, what would it want to do?!
"Mountain God!"
Almost simultaneously, Song Mengmeng, Hu Da, and Hu Yue all uttered this name in unison!
Since the three of them had made such a decision, they did not hesitate. After instructing Yao Anna to stay in the courtyard and not go anywhere, they hurriedly headed towards the location of the mountain god.
The location of the mountain god is not actually fixed.
Although the mountain god temple is no longer there, he still spends most of his time in a place not far from it.
So when the mountain god saw the dilapidated doll, he wasn't too surprised. Instead, he felt a sense of karmic reunion, as if by some twist of fate, they had finally met again.
Indeed, the doll's aura was all too familiar to him; it was none other than the protagonist of the story he had told Yao Anna before.
"I never thought we'd meet again."
Upon seeing the mountain god, the puppet no longer intended to disguise itself. As the puppet collapsed to the ground, an old woman with gray hair appeared before the mountain god.
"If you think about it, it's been several hundred years, hasn't it?!"
If Lin Ruolin were here, she would recognize at a glance that this old woman was none other than the merchant who sold her the doll.
Her steps were a little unsteady, but she was still walking steadily.
"I always thought that I would never have a chance to be free in my long life, but I never expected that there would be gods in this world!"
Since you are still alive, I'm sure you can hear my prayers to you now.
Before the mountain god could react, the old woman knelt down in front of him with a thud, prostrating herself devoutly at his feet, and pleaded with a sob in her voice, "God, please, save me!"
“If I were to save you, it wouldn’t be impossible. But you must tell me what you went through after you left my mountain temple.”
The mountain god frowned slightly, looking at the old woman kneeling in front of him, and after a long while, he asked in a low voice.
"Mountain God!"
Just as the old woman was about to speak, Hu Yue and the others called out anxiously from not far away. The mountain god was slightly taken aback, and then said to the old woman with some apologies, "Please wait a moment, I have a few friends coming over."
"Do gods have friends?!"
Hearing the mountain god's words, the old woman frowned slightly, looking at him with some confusion and doubt: "You must be one of the few remaining gods in this world now!"
“All things have a spirit, even gods.”
Besides, my birth was originally due to the convergence of human emotions.
The existence of faith gave me the possibility of survival, so it's not surprising that I have one or two human friends!
Besides, that little girl wasn't human.
However, the mountain god had no intention of revealing this secret to anyone. He turned his head and looked at Song Mengmeng and the others who were rushing towards him, and he could still whisper to them to slow down and not to rush.
"Hey, isn't this the doll that can control people's emotions that you sold to Lin Ruolin?!"
Upon seeing the old woman before the mountain god, Hu Yue's expression immediately tensed. She quickly took two steps, blocking the mountain god's path, and stared at the seemingly harmless old woman, asking each word clearly, "So, what are you planning to do now that you've reappeared before the mountain god?!"
"I meant no harm."
Faced with Hu Yue's accusation, the old woman simply raised her head slightly, looked at Hu Yue, and explained in a low voice, "I came to see the mountain god because I have something to ask him for help. I didn't have any other intentions."
As for what you said, I sold the doll to that woman simply because her wish resonated with the doll's power!
She wanted that man's love and was willing to give up everything for it, including the little conscience and human emotions she possessed.
So, the doll chose her, and she was willing to accept the doll!
This was a mutually agreeable arrangement; I didn't force her!
The old woman spoke slowly, but what she said was undeniably true.
In her quest to win Gu Cheng's affections, Lin Ruolin had truly reached a state of uncontrollable madness. She was willing to sacrifice herself, or even the lives of other members of her family, for Gu Cheng's love; she would likely agree without hesitation.
Hu Yue wanted to say something more, but Song Mengmeng gently tugged at her clothes from behind, interrupting her. Although she didn't know why Song Mengmeng was stopping her, the Mountain God cooperated and asked the same question again: "Alright, we can talk about these things later. Since you've come to ask me for help, you should at least tell me what you've been through!"
“After I left your temple, I continued westward.”
I heard that someone had seen them in the west. My husband's ancestral home is in that area, so I thought they might have gone back to live in their hometown.
However, this trip did not go smoothly.
When I arrived in Xijing, I did learn some news about my husband. However, before I could find them, Xijing fell into chaos due to the discovery of an epidemic in the surrounding area.
