Chapter 96 Lin Du silently took the blame
"Xin Ya, why are you here?" Beside the village chief, a man with a dark face and empty hands, but a fierce look between his eyebrows and eyes.
"Come on, let's go back." The village chief said, "You kid, running out in the middle of the night and disturbing the Taoist priest's sleep is really outrageous."
He said, motioning the man beside him to go in and take Xin Ya away.
Xia Tianwu stood in front of Xin Ya, "She was frightened just now. I'm a medical practitioner. Let me take a look at her."
The cold woman just stood there, not avoiding or giving way, her eyes were cold and clear, and the hem of her skirt did not move at all because of the approach of people.
"She came to me because she was upset at night. My junior master was playing with the people from the Feixing Sect. She was startled and happened to be paralyzed and sat down."
The man was a little unconvinced, "Really?"
Xia Tianwu didn't even blink, "I am Xia Tianwu, the 100th generation disciple of the Wushang Sect. I learned from Jiang Liang, the 69th leader of the Dan Dao. Doctors are like parents. I will help her to have a safe pregnancy and then send her back."
She said, turning her head to look at the junior master, "My junior master is young and likes to play. He made a lot of noise. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Lin Du silently memorized this, and sighed that he was able to lie without changing his face even if he was paralyzed. He was really gifted.
He never thought that Xia Tianwu, who was not good at speaking and never lied, would suddenly awaken some of the attributes of white-cutting black.
"This is our village's own business. Don't worry about it. Every woman who gives birth goes through that. Why does she need medical treatment to protect the fetus? There is no need. Let's go, Xin Ya!"
The man stared at Xia Tianwu. Due to the pressure emanating from her, he did not dare to step forward. He could only put pressure on the woman who was still sitting paralyzed.
The woman raised her head, seeming to be particularly afraid. She shuddered when she heard the words and stammered something, but in the end, she did not speak.
Lin Du suddenly stood in front of her, completely blocking the line of sight of Xin Ya and her husband.
The man was not tall, just at the same height as her. Lin Du looked straight over with a smile on his lips, "For us righteous disciples, saving the world is a rule. Now that she is in front of us, it is a cause and effect. If you take her away, the cause and effect of my second nephew today will not be resolved, which will be detrimental to your practice."
"Your village will always owe her a cause and effect. We will settle this cause and effect and naturally send her back."
Lin Du paused, "You are a village favored by the Moon God. As long as the Moonlight Vine is here, we will naturally not do anything that is detrimental to your village. What do you think?"
After hearing this, the village chief called people back, "The Moon God is watching. No matter what Xin Ya did, the Moon God's retribution will come. Outsiders... There are some things that are taboos that you cannot touch."
Lin Du smiled and nodded, "This is natural. The rules of our Taoist sect cannot be easily contaminated by cause and effect."
A group of people left in a hurry. Lin Du's eyes fell on the ground at the door and saw some rust on the iron.
What village's farm tools would have rust?
The farm tools of their Wushang Sect are repaired every year. Although they are not very good-looking after being patched up, they are all shiny and bright.
A village that is kept in captivity.
A village that does not need to be self-sufficient.
Lin Du narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to close the door, then activated the formation plate and threw it to the ground. He looked at Xia Tianwu who was checking the pulse of the pregnant woman and did not speak for a while.
"You were frightened, your emotions are volatile, and your pregnancy is a little unstable." Xia Tianwu said, looking at the woman he helped to the bed with clear eyes, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Lie down first and adjust your breathing."
After a while, Lin Du moved a bench and sat in front of the bed, unwilling to waste words, "I have some questions, I wonder if you mind answering them."
The woman looked at Lin Du and raised her head slightly, "Little Master, can I take you away if I ask you?"
Lin Du paused, "I can't guarantee to take you away, but maybe I can give your next generation a little freedom."
The wicked Yue Shen was probably the one who left a spiritual mark on Tao Xian.
And what exactly did that wicked thing have to do with Granny Ma, and it was related to whether Mo Lin's disease could be cured.
Lin Du sorted out the clues in his mind and decided to ask the most crucial question to her first, "When was the well in the center of your village dug? When did the moonlight vine appear?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, "The well has been there for a long time, and I don't know when it appeared."
"I only know that a long time ago, the Moon Goddess suddenly blessed us and sent down the Moonlight Vine."
The child in front of the bed seemed to be restless. He held the heavy iron fan and tapped his palms. There was not much blood on his palms to begin with, but now there were some faint red marks on them.
After listening, Lin Du asked again, "When did Granny Ma come? Is she also the messenger of the Moon God?"
"No, Granny Ma is a traveling doctor. Sometimes in spring, she would pass by our village to collect herbs in the mountains. She found that there were many pregnant women in our village. We begged her for help, and she asked us to help watch the movement in the mountains."
"Movements in the mountains? What movement?"
"The movements of insects and beasts in the mountains are originally scattered. If one day, the area near the mountain becomes quiet, or there are sudden regular movements, write down the date and inform her. Also, people coming down from the mountain should remember their characteristics and appearance."
Lin Du lowered his eyes. It was recorded in the book that there was a lot of miasma in the mountains of western Yunnan, and even more poisonous insects. The Gu Master caught and refined Gu at a fixed time. What he caught was different in each season. Regardless of what kind of creature it was, they instinctively had awe for the stronger of their kind. If the Gu King appeared, they would instinctively go on a pilgrimage.
Granny Ma hated Gu Master so much, but she knew Gu Master and Gu Master very well. Maybe she came from Gu Village.
This person may not be the Moon Goddess, but she has some connection with this village. In other words, she would rather the village remain as it is.
But the Moonlight Vine still doesn't make sense.
Lin Du asked again, "When will the Moon God's messenger appear? Will there be any sign?"
"They will come in autumn. They will all wear white robes and silver masks. Then the boys who are chosen will be taken away. Those who are not chosen will also be blessed by the Moon God and eat the fruit of the Moonlight Vine..."
Lin Du closed his eyes, "White robe."
As she spoke, spiritual power floated in her hands, and then she vaguely used ice to form the shape of a man in a white robe. When the spiritual energy dissipated, she held it in front of people, "Is that so?"
This was just a spell to coax children. Lin Du spent a little more time carving the mask and patterns. Although it was still a lump of ice, the woman still recognized it and nodded.
Xia Tianwu's eyes moved slightly. Sure enough.
That time was not an accident at all. When the children entered the secret realm and broke the ancient city formation, they were caught by someone. Although what happened in the cave was blocked by the sand and the remaining tree roots, the gang would rather kill them by mistake than let them go, so they wanted to kill them halfway.
And at that time, that place happened to be unconnected, so they must have known when they left and then deduced it based on the speed of the spirit ship.
Someone mixed in with the elders who attended that day, which just proved Lin Du's guess.
Now it seems that this group of wicked people like to tamper with the God's Mansion. They don't necessarily want to kill them halfway. They just need to quickly capture them, do some tampering with the God's Mansion, clear their memories or cover up their memories, and don't kill people. Then they will return to the sect alive, and the matter may be over.
Lin Du took out another booklet with an expressionless face. This booklet was a folded book, which was opened like an accordion.
Xia Tianwu took a look and found that it was full of names, followed by the names of the sects and their age realms. Looking closely, the name of Ju Yuan was at the top, with a tick drawn on it with an ink pen.
The names of the three major sects at the top were all ticked, and then all the way down, a name was circled in red.
Feixing Sect, Yin Zhong.
Lin Du stared at it for a while, put it away, and took out another booklet, which was even more terrifying.
It was densely packed with red and black, and there were already many names, all crossed out with a vermilion pen, just like a book of life and death of King Yan.
Lin Du just looked at it for a while, then seemed to confirm something, put the thing away, apologized, leaned over, and tapped the woman's forehead with his slender knuckles.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound around, like a snake crawling underneath, or like the sound of some plants growing.
Tao Xian suddenly felt something was wrong. He had been squatting obediently in the trap that Lin Du had drawn for him, fearing that he would be taken away and tied up if he took a step out. Now he looked up and saw the tiles with blades embedded on all sides shaking violently, trembling and about to fall down, as if... as if something was holding them up from below.
He stood up suddenly, his long sword shining like snow, and when the tip of the blade was completely tilted, he chopped it over, "Little Taoist Lin, there's something underground! There's something underground!"
