"It's about the sacrificial offerings in the village."

This is the second time Tan Taiying has heard her say these two words.He thought of what Bai Wangyan said before, and his heart tightened. Could this be the key part of the whole thing?Therefore, Master Shenjian Shaogu also sat on the ground by the river beach with the preoccupied girl, trying to listen to her words.

Seeing that this handsome foreign swordsman was willing to listen to what she said, Asha couldn't help but put a faint smile on her mouth, but the smile immediately withdrew and became bitter instead.The girl put her arms around her knees, and whispered: "In our village, we believe in 'butterfly mother', and the 'butterfly mother' who gives birth to all things will bless us to tide over the difficulties. Now is the most difficult time in the village. The cannibal white mist, if a sacred object is used to hold a sacrifice, it will definitely be able to disappear, and those missing people will be found...but they will not allow the sacrifice."

"they?"

Hearing what Asha said, Tantai Ying was once again convinced of what Bai Wangyan said.The Butterfly Mother is indeed a belief here, but what Asha said is clearly a correct Chinese dialect, but he still doesn't understand it. He always feels that the girl in front of him seems to be deliberately concealing something, lacking the most important information.What is a holy object, why is she so sure that the white mist can be eliminated by performing sacrifices?Is there any secret?

"It's Granny Lan who insisted on dragging the three of you into this matter that day... that is our great witch." She frowned, "Obviously as long as a sacrifice is performed, it can be eliminated, why do you want to put irrelevant things away?" You drag it in! Could it be because that person looks like..."

"Looks alike? But since you're sure that the priests will disperse the white mist, why don't they let it go? It's obviously a good thing, right?" Tan Taiying was even more confused when he heard it, and suddenly he felt that chatting with this girl It's like chatting with Bai Wangyan, one is knowing a lot of inside information, the other is discovering too many secrets, but they are unwilling to share them with others.Master Shenjian Shaogu looked at this Miaojiang girl dressed in Han Chinese clothes from the side, saw the hesitant look on her face, and looked at her slender fingers wrapped around her temples, and suddenly understood in her heart that she It's not that he's showing off like that white fox and doesn't want to talk about it, but he can't talk about it.

Bai Wangyan once pointed him out. This girl has a special status, and she must be an extremely important person to be able to speak in front of that seemingly powerful old woman.

And a young girl like Asha, who has no deep experience in the world, absolutely did not feel the thoughts in the heart of the master of the sword, Shaogu, she wrapped her fingers around her hair, and secretly glanced at the foreign swordsman beside her who was asking questions, and hurriedly don't look back, Continued: "According to Granny Lan, the first reason for not holding a sacrifice is that the sacred objects are extremely precious to us and cannot be taken out at will. The second reason is that we have already been punished by God before, and if something goes wrong again, The stockade is over..." She hesitated again, and replied hesitantly, "Your friend with white hair looks like... Gu King." It was already extremely difficult for her to say the last two words, and she clasped her hands together. live.

"God's punishment?" Tantai Ying couldn't understand even more, "Is there such a thing? What is Gu King?"

That day, the women gathered in the Tanglin Courtyard focused their eyes on Bai Wangyan, who had white hair all night. They showed panic, and the word they muttered in their mouths was "Gu King"!

"12 years ago..." As soon as Asha said these words, she immediately covered her mouth with a hint of panic in her eyes, and she didn't continue.But Tan Taiying noticed that she even trembled all over her body.

Seeing this, Master Shaogu hurriedly said: "It's okay, there's no need to talk about it."

The girl glanced at him gratefully, and nodded: "Okay..." As soon as she was amnesty, she let out a long sigh of relief, stretched out her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and her expression became much more relaxed. She smiled at the foreign swordsman He smiled: "Oh, sorry, I lost my composure."

"So polite?" Tan Taiying was surprised, he scratched his hair in embarrassment, "It's also my fault, it was intended to soothe the girl's heart, but it made the girl even more upset and guilty."

Seeing his embarrassed look, Asha burst out laughing: "Hahaha, it's okay! Anyway, I feel uncomfortable thinking about it, why don't I tell you about it!" She suddenly sighed with great regret. Qi said: "As long as there is a chance, I will tell Granny Lan about holding a sacrifice."

"but……"

"That may be the only thing I can do." Asha looked over the gurgling water and looked into the deep forest in front of her.Tan Taiying looked at her sideways like this, but always felt that the eyes were too clear, even clearer than the river that can see through the bottom.

In the stilted buildings near the river, the sunlight leaps into the house from the windows, making the house extremely bright.

When the old man wrapped in black robe heard the words "Goddess Tears", his eyes became sharp like a blade in an instant, and even his hands hidden under the black robe were caged into claws, but the handsome man in white clothes and white hair The young man was still shaking the folding fan with a smile on his face. He seemed to be extremely patient and time-consuming.

"Senior," he gently waved his folding fan, persuaded with a smile, "this thing has nothing to do with you now, but it has a close relationship with your niece. If something goes wrong with the holy relic, she will be the next great witch." I can't keep it."

"You!" The old man panicked, "How do you know!"

"There's nothing to guess," Bai Wangyan narrowed his peach eyes and smiled, and cast his gaze outside the door, "That little girl is the daughter of my master and that blind worm Tang Wumu, and the niece of the senior. In this family, the daughter of the Great Witch will also be a Great Witch, guarding the 'Goddess Tears' for generations, but if this sacred object is taken away...presumably, the efforts of the seniors for so many years will be in vain, right?"

Hearing this, the old man suddenly showed a fierce look, screamed and threw the poisonous insect that he had already held in his hand at the person in front of him, and then struck him with a palm: "That stupid woman, Yiduo, she actually tells you everything!" Already!"

But Bai Wangyan just took a step back unhurriedly, spread the folding fan in his hand, and gently swept away the old man's withered claws glowing black and purple, lightly raised his left hand, and caught the poisonous insect with his fingers.

It was a beautifully colored phoenix-tailed butterfly, flapping its wings in his hands in pain, Bai Wangyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and laughed: "Oh, this is the 'Butterfly Gu' of your family? Speaking of Master, it’s really not worth mentioning... The Gu refined by the saintesses of the previous generation seems to be nothing more than this." As soon as the words fell, the slender and slender fingers pinched the swallow butterfly, which actually crushed the whole butterfly. Bai Wangyan raised his hand, and the powder immediately dispersed with the wind.The old man who was pushed back to the wall and climbed up in a state of embarrassment stared dumbfounded at the Gu worms he had cultivated over the years turning into dust, except for staring at his dry eyes for a while, he finally said a word.

"Are you... who the hell are you?" She asked tremblingly.

"Where are the tears of the goddess?" Bai Wangyan walked up to her with a smile, bent slightly, and asked again.

She stared at the man in front of her in horror.The frail young man who seems to have no internal strength and no martial arts skills is so ruthless, not afraid of severe poison, and his internal strength is extremely deep, just a pinch, and the butterfly Gu he has cultivated for many years is turned into flying ashes.

And in his eyes that are as soft as water, there is a cold and biting killing intent...
