"The pulse has changed!" Doctor Tong exclaimed in shock.
She could clearly feel that the death pulse had disappeared and the person in front of her had returned to a normal pulse.
Not far away, the quick-witted Xiao Wu was the first to react. He immediately knelt down in front of the wooden carving.
"Mountain Goddess, please accept the bow of your faithful follower!"
"Yes, Mountain Goddess, from now on we will all be your most devout believers!"
"Mountain Goddess, I will offer incense to you every day from now on, hoping that you will bless my master with good health and keep him away from illness!"
When Murong Xun turned his head, he saw that his disciples were kneeling on the ground, and even his wife and children were kneeling down.
This time, Murong Xun did not stop him.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the things that have happened in the capital have been too strange. Murong Xun had long suspected that the entity in the shadows was likely the legendary demon.
Realizing this, he has lived very carefully all these years, trying his best to keep his disciples from taking the imperial examinations at this time.
Even so, his young apprentice died tragically and inexplicably. The more he investigated the cause of his apprentice's death, the more pain his left hand became, and he realized what was going on.
So after being exiled, he simply turned the tables and followed his disciples' wishes, letting them all come with him.
After leaving the capital, the pain in my left hand did gradually lessen, but it did not completely disappear.
Murong Xun was extremely worried, fearing that one day the evil spirit would come looking for him and harm his family and disciples. He even allowed himself to freeze, just wanting to end his life as soon as possible so as not to become a burden to his family and disciples.
This was the best method Murong Xun could think of, but he wasn't sure if he could get rid of that being. He was even more afraid that if he lost his life, the people around him would be implicated.
Upon encountering this chivalrous woman and learning that she was a follower of the Mountain Goddess, Murong Xun began to ponder deeply.
The legendary mountain goddess must possess unimaginable power to suppress evil spirits. Since she is willing to help me confront that evil spirit in the capital, what is there to complain about?
"Thank you, Mountain Goddess, for saving me. From now on, I, Murong Xun, will be your devout follower!" Murong Xun bowed respectfully in return.
Seeing this, Doctor Tong and Liang Shu also led their people forward and bowed respectfully.
The female knight in front of them remained silent, and they dared not stop what they were doing. Just as Murong Xun's old back began to ache, the wooden sculpture of the mountain god suddenly floated up, its body shimmering with golden light.
One after another, golden rays entered their brows, and all those kneeling in worship noticed that their bodies suddenly became very relaxed, like patients who had been suffering from a long-term illness, suddenly having all their chronic ailments swept away and being infused with new vitality.
But it only lasted for a moment. Soon, the warm feeling disappeared, and everyone returned to their previous state, feeling only a sense of loss.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining eighteen new believers and 380 faith points."
The system's voice rang in his ears at the right time. Yu Luo was not surprised by the few hundred faith points.
After all, these people are still on the road and have only heard about the Mountain Goddess from Madam An. They don't know much about the real Mountain God, so it's normal that they don't give much faith value.
Most importantly, these people have become his followers, which makes things easier to arrange in the future.
After thinking about it, Yu Luo felt he had to thank the emperor in the capital and that evil spirit again. If it weren't for their actions, how could he have gained so many talented people?
…
The golden light slowly dissipated, and the mountain god statue gradually returned to normal.
Everyone felt as if they had just experienced a long dream, and were still somewhat reluctant to leave after waking up.
"Congratulations on making the right choice. If you hadn't become followers of the Mountain Goddess, I wouldn't have cared about you."
"When your master is completely possessed by the evil energy of the false god, what will happen will be uncontrollable."
Lin Anniang wore a slight smile.
However, the disciples and Murong Xun's family members on the other side all shuddered.
If their master is being controlled by some hidden entity, they certainly won't give up. What will happen then? I really can't imagine!
Upon seeing this, Murong Xun's wife knelt down before the mountain god statue once more, her eyes brimming with tears.
This time, her voice was even more devout: "Thank you for the mercy of the Mountain Goddess, thank you!"
"The Mountain Goddess has received your faith. We can't linger here any longer. Quickly pack your things and let's go back to the desolate mountain!" Lin Anniang looked around at the surrounding environment, feeling very vigilant.
"Okay, okay, we'll leave right away!"
Murong Daru's group was very large, and one carriage was not enough. In the end, Liang Shu and Doctor Tong each gave them a carriage.
Liang Shu, accompanied by several maids, looked at Lin Anniang with curiosity.
"Can all of my dowry be stored away?" Her dowry was so large that it couldn't fit in a single carriage.
However, Liang Shu did not want to benefit the people of the Qing'an Marquis's mansion, so she sold part of her dowry, leaving only this carriage, which was filled to the brim with all her treasures.
These are things that cannot be sold immediately, since many valuable items cannot find buyers right away.
"If you trust me, I can use the tools bestowed upon me by the Mountain Goddess to collect all the things you brought."
Lin Anniang said gently.
