I originally thought Ghost Doctor Valley would be a place rich in spiritual energy, but I never expected that entering it would feel like entering the mortal world.
Look at this thin, almost imperceptible spiritual energy. If someone were to actually go inside, it would take several years before they could regain the spiritual power needed to open the mustard seed bag.
Tianning: "..."
Tian Ning took a step back, then jumped up and took a big step back.
"Why is it you again, you little brat?"
The whole team was moving forward, but she suddenly retreated, making it hard for Ying Yi not to see her.
Those cultivators who could only be delivered outside the valley also turned around to look at this conspicuous bag, wondering what had gotten into her.
After gathering her emotions, Tianning said excitedly, "I think I'd better not go!"
Shadow One: "..."
"Go back!" Yingyi brandished his knife, blocking Tianning's retreat. "Now that we're here, you can't just refuse to go in!"
Although those cultivators cannot enter Ghost Doctor Valley, the other nine men in black, led by Shadow One, will continue to escort them on their way.
Tianning blinked, and a crystal tear rolled down her cheek.
It has nothing to do with acting skills, it's all about emotion!
She suddenly let out a wail, crying out in anguish, "I've been thinking about it all the way here, trying to convince myself, but I've realized I still can't forget Brother Erniu from the next village!"
Everyone: "???"
Tianning continued to sob, adding a few words to flesh out her character: "We were childhood sweethearts. When I was little, I would wash clothes by the river, and he would sit on the cow and look at me tenderly. He always herded the cows by the river where I washed clothes. I know he must like me too, and wanted to see me more..."
Everyone: "..."
Is it possible that the grass grows more tender near the river, which the cows prefer to eat?
Tianning: "Gradually, as we grew up, he couldn't hide his feelings for me anymore... I knew he really wanted to marry me, but he had a seriously ill mother at home, and he was in debt for medicine, and was often beaten by debt collectors."
"He was a filial son. In order to cure his elderly mother's illness, he heard that he could receive a large sum of money by becoming a sacrifice to the mountain god, so he decided to sacrifice himself. Before leaving, he specifically came to me to say goodbye!"
“That night, I remember it vividly. As a man, he shed tears in my arms, saying that he didn't want to go either, that he wanted to marry me and live a good life with me. But he had no other choice. If only, if only someone could go in his place… just go to the village chief and change his name to someone else's…”
Everyone: "!!!"
This scoundrel is something else!
“Even though he cried so heartbreakingly, he couldn’t forget his love for me,” Tianning said, taking off the wooden hairpin from her hair. A hint of tenderness instantly appeared in her broken eyes. “He gave me the wooden hairpin he had carved for a month, telling me that it held his longing for me! But how could I bear to watch him leave like this and never come back? So, the next day I went to the village chief’s house and changed my name…”
Spending the day among the crowd, Tianning overheard many conversations.
These eighty-eight people were mostly from the mortal village. It is said that they were chosen to be sacrificed to the gods in order to receive divine protection and to keep the village from disasters and diseases.
Most of them were young girls, but there were also some elderly people and sick men.
Some people in the crowd had already begun to feel sorry for her:
"Silly girl, that scoundrel is lying to you! Why are you doing this to yourself?"
"How much could this broken wooden hairpin be worth? He probably didn't even spend half a day on it!"
"You've sacrificed so much for him, he's probably been plotting against you all along!"
...
Shadow One: "..."
Seriously, are all of you really this immersive?
It turns out that loving to hear gossip is human nature.
Even the leading cultivator frowned slightly and commented seriously, "This girl is a bit dim-witted."
