Chapter 25 Wu Zhu
Lin Xixue looked into the inner hall, where two statues of a man and a woman were sitting. The two statues were covered in red and green, and the female statue was holding a grinning baby in her hands.
But outside the hall, there are countless large and small stone carvings and clay dolls. Some of them are exquisite and have rough facial features, while some are rough and have no facial features at all, only a round stone sculpture.
The ball serves as the head.
Is it possible that this great witch worshiped so many monsters at the same time?
Although these crude statues are obviously not of the same level as the Tianzun statue, sometimes there are too many ants to swallow an elephant.
What's more, I'm just a man who was given some weird magical powers by mistake. I don't understand the secrets at all, so I can't be called an elephant.
Under information asymmetry, taking action hastily will only lead to passivity.
Lin Xixue frowned and held the magic sword in her hand a little tighter.
"Hehe." Dawu Zhu smiled hoarsely, "Shangzhen, I don't mean any harm."
"Since there is no malice, hand over Bai Qing." Lin Xixue's tone became colder. She checked around but found no trace of Bai Qing.
But when she saw the herbs dried in the courtyard and the medicinal soup boiled, she was reminded of Hong Yanzi's magic method of turning stone into gold.
What does it mean? Monsters also divide their territory into territories. They cannot enter each other's territory.
Even though the ladies and gentlemen she spoke of usually met the villagers' needs, it didn't mean that they didn't have any thoughts about Bai Qing.
"Haha." Dawu Zhu stretched out his crooked finger and pointed at Lin Xixue, "Of course it's for you, Shangzhen!"
"Empress Weihu knows all the things that happened in the waters of Linghu Lake. It was she who told me." Although Da Wu Zhu's voice was hoarse, it sounded sincere.
"Within ten miles and eight villages, there is no one who has not received the blessings of the master and his wife on the full moon, birthdays, children and grandchildren, weddings and weddings, spring plowing, major disasters and minor illnesses, etc."
Lin Xixue thought about it again and again, but decided not to ask further questions, and turned the topic to the question of whether Bai Qing was still safe.
But Lin Xixue was confused. First there was the so-called master and the embroidery lady, and now the so-called empress Weihu came.
No matter how kind she is to the villagers, Lin Xixue still feels that they are monsters like Tianzun and must have some ulterior purpose.
"The gentlemen and ladies want a true promise."
But if this hypothesis is true, why do these monsters like to target me? What is so special about me?
Once you reveal that you don't understand anything, you will probably be no different in the eyes of the other party than an ignorant lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"I need to confirm Bai Qing's safety first before considering whether to agree to this so-called promise."
"Besides, the Wuzeng Temple is here, and the dharma bodies of the master and the ladies are also here, can they still run away?"
If there is anything special, it is that as a time traveler, I have a golden finger.
"Shangzhen is joking. You are an enlightened immortal. If you enter our small temple, wouldn't you be in conflict with the master and the ladies?"
But from the tone of the great shaman, this should be quite basic common sense. If I ask further, I'm afraid I will show my cowardice.
Not to mention the golden finger, in the illusion, she saw the golden finger broken with her own eyes, and she didn't know if the golden finger could still be used in reality.
But at least, it's been a while since I've been able to trigger the golden finger.
In addition, the great witch Zhu named Bai Qing to be introduced into the temple, which made it clear that he had other plans.
Lin Xixue pressed the hilt of the magic sword and bit her lip. She didn't know how credible the words of the great witch Zhu were.
"Shangzhen still can't believe me. I have already said that I am hanging on for this girl's life. If we take her out of the temple now, her life will really be in danger."
The great witch Zhu shook his head and said: "She was injured too seriously. If we take her out of the temple and hang her life without my master, she will definitely die."
If you agree to such an unclear promise easily, there may be hidden dangers in the future.
Does that mean that I have something that the Great Witch Zhu needs? Or does it mean that I need to accomplish something by myself?
"What do you want me to do, or rather, what does the being you worship want me to do? Let's be honest, I don't like to beat around the bush."
"Since she can't come out, I'll just go in."
"My master said that when the time comes in the future, Shangzhen will know what to do. If you are unwilling to do it at that time, I will naturally not be able to force you."
"If Shangzhen is still not at ease, you can stay in front of the temple for ten and a half days. When the life of this girl Bai Qing is not in danger, she will be sent away."
It's just that these monsters want a promise from me? What do they want me to do for them?
Besides, I had just been forcibly transformed into an Immortal Official by Tianzun, so why did I have to look for myself?
"What do you want me to promise? If you don't clearly explain what you want to do, I can't agree easily."
Seeing that Lin Xixue was still hesitating, the great witch Zhu continued to console her: "Shang Zhen, there is no need to worry. You may have some misunderstanding about me, but you can find out if you go to all over the country to inquire about it."
Lin Xixue's eyes moved, but she did not believe her words, but asked: "How did you know in advance that Bai Qing would come to Linghu Village, and even ordered the villagers to send her to Wuzeng Temple in advance?"
How many monsters did this Great Witch Zhu enshrine, and what was his plan to capture Bai Qing?
"Then what's the purpose of these beings you enshrined and asked you to treat Bai Qing?"
But she had no choice at the moment. She didn't know how to save people at all. She knew the severity of Bai Qing's injuries best. If Bai Qing was taken out by force, she might not survive.
Lin Xixue's thoughts flowed rapidly, analyzing what this sentence meant.
But from what the great witch Zhu said, it seemed that the monsters she worshiped could not force her to do anything?
Could it be because I was targeted by Tianzun, and Tianzun is a relatively powerful monster, and these so-called masters and empresses are just monsters with average strength, so they dare not compete with Tianzun for prey?
Lin Xixue made the above assumptions.
You can’t force me? Why can’t you force me to do it?
Monsters like Tianzun can manipulate memories at will, fabricate reality out of thin air, and play tricks on themselves. If they really want to force themselves to do something, they have no choice at all.
When Lin Xixue heard the word "men", she realized that what she thought was indeed true. The great witch had indeed enshrined a group of monsters.
But this doesn't make sense, because when Hong Yanzi selected her, her golden finger had not been triggered at all, and she even did not know that there was such a thing as a golden finger.
Lin Xixue had already understood that no matter how cautious you were when dealing with people who worshiped such monsters, you would fall into a well-laid trap if you were not careful.
One question led to another, and her thoughts became more and more confused. She wanted to ask the great witch Zhu directly why these monsters were targeting her, but she was afraid of exposing the fact that she didn't understand anything.
Are you going to take my life? If that's the case, why don't you just do it while you're unconscious?
This feeling of being controlled by others is really bad.
The information at hand is insufficient, the information is seriously asymmetric, and it is impossible to distinguish between true and false many things.
After thinking again and again, she put away the magic sword and said seriously: "Okay, I will guard in front of your temple for a few days, if you can't hand over the person by then."
Lin Xixue's threat was fully displayed, but Da Wu Zhu showed a calm smile, and his lips that shrank inward due to the lack of teeth were stretched to both sides, showing a somewhat inexplicable and terrifying look.
