The cool breeze blew, and the fallen leaves in the mountains rolled up.
Song Ling carried Songmo and Zhuyu to the foot of the mountain. After walking halfway, when he was almost halfway up the mountain, he saw several ragged women walking hunched over in the deserted forest with their children in their arms.
Several people looked flustered, as if they were hiding something.
"Go and take a look." Song Ling patted Zhuyu's shoulder.
Zhu Yu understood, so he quickly sorted out his clothes and ran over, blocked the women's path, bowed and asked, "What's wrong with the sisters? Are you suffering? If there is any difficulty, you can tell me.
, I'm willing to help."
The woman was panicked at first, and couldn't say a single word. When she saw Zhuyu raising her hand to perform the surgery, the dark clouds above her head dissipated, she relaxed a little and quickly told her situation.
The woman standing in front of her is named Lu Anniang.
Lu Anniang is the owner of the embroidery workshop in Luocheng at the foot of the mountain. The embroidery women behind her are the embroidery workshops.
The reason why they ran away in a panic was because a group of strange people came to the city and occupied the Empression House Casino and other places in Luocheng overnight. It would be fine if they were occupied by the Empression House, but that was forced to occupy it.
The thief from the embroidery workshop actually wanted to kidnap the embroidery lady and go back.
"What kind of person? How weird are they?" asked Zhuyu.
"He is a woman, she looks pretty, but when she opens her mouth, she has a man's voice, and she has a thug like a monk." Lu Anniang recalled, frowned and said, "No one of those people who were kidnapped by her, has no one of them.
Those who came back alive didn't even see a single body, and a roll of straw mat was thrown away from the mass grave."
Luocheng is close to Nanzhen, and it is already in chaos, so no one dares to go to the mass grave.
The embroiderers at the back just heard the words "Mass Treasure" and their eyes were trembling like sieves, with panic.
"Then where are you going to escape? Are you going north?" Zhuyu touched her Qiankun bag, took out the money and food and handed it to Lu Anniang, and said, "You took the money, you took the children, and brought so much more again."
Women and children need money and food.”
Lu Anniang was stunned, her hands trembling.
She couldn't believe what she had picked up.
As Zhuyu said, they had been hungry on Qiniang Mountain for several days, so they planned to wait for the day of heaven and darkness to pass, then cross the mountains and leave, and find a way out.
"Tianming Ri? What is that?" Song Ling stroked Song Mo's hair, slowly walked over and asked.
"This is my friend. Her cultivation is higher than mine. You can rest assured." Zhuyu hurriedly comforted Lu Anniang, who was trembling and said, "What are the difficulties you have? Even though we monks are just for the sake of our world.
To help the strong and help the weak.”
"There is an old custom in Luocheng..." Lu Anniang took a deep breath and said with her eyes closed: "Every day on the third day of the 10th month, people in Qiniang Mountain are not allowed to enter because this day is the day when Qiniang wants to return to the world, that is, the sky
The dark day.”
Qi Niang came to the world, and mortals retreated.
If anyone accidentally goes up the mountain and disturbs Qi Niang's immortal deity, then Qi Niang will punish him.
"Isn't Qiniang Mountain named after the seven stone statues on the top of the mountain?" Zhuyu blinked and asked curiously.
Lu Anniang shook her head and explained, "No, no, the seven stone statues on the top of the mountain were placed on the grandfather of Pei Sanlang, the richest man in Luocheng. When his Pei family had a slut, he insisted on going to the sky and the sun.
Shan, being convicted by Qi Niang... In order to hold the slut, Pei Sanlang's grandfather had to spend a huge amount of money to build the seven stone statues to worship Qi Niang."
Song Ling calculated with his fingers that it was Tianming Ri yesterday, so he asked, "What are your plans now? Are you going to cross the mountains and go north to settle down?"
"Yes." Lu Anniang nodded, lowered her head, and said, "The chaos in Luocheng is frequent, and the people who are still in the city are either old people who can't walk, or travelers who live in Luocheng by relying on business and selling
of."
"Where is the Lord of Luocheng?" Song Ling asked again.
When talking about the city lord, a little indignation appeared on Lu Anniang's face.
She snorted and said angrily: "The city lord is in love with the demon. She either enjoys drinking in the city lord's mansion or hunts outside the city. She lives a life of human beings."
"Okay, I wish you a good journey." Song Ling took two yellow talisman paper from her sleeve and stuffed it into Lu Anniang's hand, saying, "You keep these. If you encounter evil spirits along the way, you can at least protect them.
You run away, you don't have to die."
It is no longer safe to go north, and mortals are worried wherever they go.
Lu Anniang cried with joy, pinched the talismans and wanted to kneel down and kowtow.
Song Ling reached out to stop her and continued, "It's just that I have something to ask for. Before you leave, I want to know what the demon you mentioned looks like."
What does it look like?
Lu Anniang looked up at Song Ling in confusion.
"Well, I have the technique of exploring the spirit. If you agree, you can absorb the memory in your brain." Song Ling said, and quickly explained: "But don't worry, this technique is absolutely true if you agree.
It won't hurt you at all."
To be honest, Lu Anniang was a little scared, but now she has received favors and does not agree with it, it seems a bit unreasonable.
not to mention……
These two people in front of them are immortals who are cultivating immortals. If they really want to do something to them, why ask for their consent? Take action directly, and they have no room for resistance.
Thinking of this person, Lu Anniang nodded, turned around and handed the sleeping child to the embroiderer behind him, and said, "Okay, since the immortal prince has such a request, of course I am willing."
Zhu Yu was afraid that Lu Anniang would be uneasy, so she hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, we just want to see where that person is so as to prepare for us to enter Luocheng."
Song Ling's eyes drooped slightly, and his fingers were pointed at Lu Anniang's eyebrows.
The soft spiritual power flowed into Lu Anniang's head like a spring water. The warmth wrapped around her in this moment, dispelling her hunger and anxiety over the past few days.
The arc of Song Ling's eyes flew past, and countless scenes surging into her eyes, carrying a sense of panic that belonged to Lu Anniang.
"How?" asked Zhuyu.
Song Ling raised his hand and slid the picture in front of him as if he was tying the strings of a piano. After reading it page by page, he said, "It's a human, but it's not under his hands. This woman is not like a Taoist person, but more like that kind of accidental one.
Only then did the evil magic manipulate the monsters to come and cause disaster to Luocheng."
What is the purpose?
Most importantly, what is the purpose of this woman?
In Lu Anniang's memory, when a woman appeared, she would have to be breeze and rain in Luocheng. Not only did she act extremely cruelly, she also searched for beauties to send them to her mansion.
Later, the beauty disappeared, and even the women who had given birth to them were not spared.
Lu Anniang had no choice but to lead the group of people to escape at night.
"What's strange is..." Song Ling narrowed his eyes and expressed his doubts, "This place is close to Nanzhen, and there should be Taoist disciples patrolling. How can you let such a person lead the monster to cause trouble in the city?
