Back to the Future Sword of Sichen

"This old man is really greedy..." Wei Mingye thought to himself, "Human nature is like this. If you do it the first time, it will happen a second time, a third time, and in the end you will fall into the quagmire of greed. If this is the case, In the end, they will be burned by greedy human nature and end up with a bad end."

Wei Mingye raised his head and looked at the statue, "I will find a way. Remember our previous promise."

Pei Linchuan said weakly: "Don't worry... I am the patron saint of this land... I will fulfill my previous promise."

Wei Mingye left Yuan Temple and returned to the river bank. When Manion saw Wei Mingye returning, he hurried to him and asked with concern: "Brother, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. It's very safe inside." Wei Mingye glanced at the misty woods and continued: "I'm afraid we are caught in a conspiracy. Let's go back first and then make plans."

After Wei Mingye and others left, he saw a light figure falling in front of the river bank. The moss-covered stones have long since dried and cracked, the green water plants have turned as yellow as the bleak autumn day, and the bones of animals are scattered at the bottom of the river. If the river water had not receded, they would never have seen the light of day again.

Qu Niang looked around in despair. Not long ago, she found out that Wei Mingye and others went to Yuan Temple. When they arrived, there was no one there.

Looking at the misty woods, Qu Niang's heart was full of loss and uneasiness. She originally expected to find Wei Mingye and others here to discuss and solve the current situation with them. However, now she was the only one standing here alone, surrounded by silence.

Qu Niang sighed softly, her eyes sparkling with tears, shining like a crystal clear gem, as if she was telling people the endless sadness in her heart. As a "Dari" who strives for "auspiciousness", she may be able to help the old lady cross the road, or help the children get the kite from the tree, but she just can't change the person who became Lu Shu back.

Facing the current situation, Qu Niang felt powerless and helpless, as if she was a trapped bird unable to fly freely in the sky. Her heart was like a lake ruffled by the wind, rippling with endless sorrow. She began to wonder why her master sealed her abilities back then. Why? This question has been lingering in her mind recently, lingering like a dark cloud hanging over her soul.

Qu Niang's thoughts gradually fell into chaos. She seemed to be in a vast fog and lost her direction. Her heart was filled with a sense of loss, a feeling that almost tore her body into pieces, and was so heavy that it almost crushed herself.

"There must be a way." Qu Niang took a deep breath and exhaled those distracting thoughts. If she could get a moment of relaxation, that would be good. At least now, Qu Niang's mood is a little better. Perhaps Wei Mingye and others have returned to the hotel.

Thinking of this, Qu Niang took another step towards the hotel.

Hotel, in Wei Mingye's room. Silence was like a dark cloud gathering above the heads of the three of them, oppressive and heavy.

Besmir sighed and broke the silence. Her voice was filled with fear and disbelief, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard. , "Mr. W, you mean that the Taoist priest tried to use those damaged wooden men to turn all the people in the city into deer and Shu... and then... eat them?"

Wei Mingye's face was very solemn. He nodded and said in a low voice: "This is my most extreme hypothesis. But according to the clues we currently have, this possibility exists."

"When we were in the tavern, I could see that Qu Niang was a shrewd and capable person. Otherwise, how could she run a tavern by herself?" Manion said, "It is impossible that Qu Niang would not be able to repair the wooden man. Master and The meaning of the master is completely different. Qu Niang will not take good care of the things that the master left to her. So, there are only two possibilities. The first is that Qu Niang did not find the materials to repair the wooden man. The second is that this wooden man It cannot be repaired at all, it is one of those disposable mystical items."

Wei Mingye's expression was solemn. He looked out the window, and the sky became gloomy at some point. He pondered secretly in his mind. In fact, he was more inclined to the first inference. He would rather believe that this was just an accident rather than a long-term conspiracy.

Suddenly there was a fishy earthy smell in the air, and then, big raindrops fell on the bricks and tiles, playing a symphony of rain. The rain came suddenly, and the pedestrians on the street didn't react at all. Their clothes were soaked and their shoes were muddy.

The rain fell harder and harder, forming a curtain of rain, as if Peicheng was a stage, and the rain and fog were the scene special effects created by "dry ice" before the show started, covering Peicheng.

After a long silence, Wei Mingye spoke: "I would rather believe that the Taoist Priest is a good person, but my sixth sense strongly tells me that the Taoist Priest is not a good person. The land god who protects this land will never harm this land." people across the land.”

The door was suddenly pushed open, and with a gust of wind, the book "Memories of Peicheng" on the table blew loudly. Page after page was turned. The words described the past events of Peicheng and the past. brilliant.

Qu Niang stood there, her body shaking with anger, her eyes showing pain, doubt, and anger. Her master is the person closest to her and the person she admires the most. She cannot accept other people's doubts about him.

"Why do you question my master?!" Qu Niang's voice was trembling, and her bright clothes were somewhat overshadowed. The man who predicted the flood for Peicheng, the man who built private schools, libraries, and hospitals, the man who was admired by everyone in the city was actually suspected of being a "human-eating" terrifying monster at this moment.

"Qu Niang, I..."

Before Wei Mingye could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qu Niang. Like an erupting volcano, Qu Niang shouted hysterically: "I don't allow you to insult my master like this! You don't understand him at all, you foreigners Why should anyone doubt my master?! What he has done for Peicheng, you have no idea about those contributions!"

The three of them were silent, and Qu Niang suddenly saw "Memories of Peicheng" lying on the table, and her confusion and grievance turned into tears sliding down her cheeks.

She cried and said: "That book...haven't you finished reading it? My master's life and deeds are written in it. You should really apologize. My master must not be insulted by anyone!" "

Qu Niang turned around and left, and Wei Mingye immediately chased after her.

He grabbed Qu Niang's wrist with one hand and said, "Qu Niang, wait a moment."

"Let go!" Qu Niang tried to break away, but found that Wei Mingye's hand was holding her tightly like an iron vice.

"At least believe in us this time." Wei Mingye's voice was steady and calm, "Tomorrow morning, you take those deer and Shu to the Yuan Temple. Maybe this is our only chance... After the matter is completed, I will tell your master apologize."

Wei Mingye let go of his hand, and Qu Niang's figure gradually disappeared in the rain. He sighed, hoping that his point of view was wrong.
