The Taoist priest dusted himself off, looked at Ruyi and said, "You and I are really destined to meet each other three times in this vast sea of people."
"Three times? If I remember correctly, it should only be twice." Ruyi said.
The Taoist priest thought that he couldn't remember the last time Ruyi fell into a coma, so he waved his hand and said, "That's it, don't bring up the old things again."
Princess Ningwu didn't know who the Taoist priest was. When she saw him wearing a Taoist robe, she said bluntly: "Aren't you a Taoist priest? You go to catch ghosts and get rid of all these monsters!"
The Taoist priest shook his head and said with a smile: "I am just a money swindler, how can I have such ability?"
Ruyi snorted and smiled: "How can you be willing to tell the truth?"
The Taoist priest said: "Now that things have come to a close, there is no need for me to tell so many lies anymore. I feel tired after telling lies all my life."
He rolled his eyes, looked at everyone and said slowly: "Not to mention that I am a fake Taoist priest who is bluffing and deceiving. I think even those alchemists who are truly talented and knowledgeable can't stand up to the monsters here."
Dozens of men in the huge cage lamented again.
The Taoist priest felt that being caught by the monster this time was his retribution. He had defrauded countless amounts of money in his life and was greedy and lustful. He has been wandering around Jimo in the past few years. Now there is an acute disease in Jimo City. Not only is there no cure, but it is also contagious.
Many people have contracted this disease and died. When people are desperate, they seek help from experts and strangers.
He didn't have any real skills, so naturally he didn't dare to take on such a big job, so he packed up his things and ran away overnight. Walking to the suburbs at night, he suddenly saw a mansion, knocked on the door and checked in, and was warmly entertained by the owner, with beautiful women, fine wine and delicious food.
After greeting him, he also said hello.
In fact, this Taoist priest is not bad, he is just a bit opportunistic. Although he has never done any serious business in his life, he has never really wanted to harm anyone.
If he had to find someone who made him feel guilty, it would be Ruyi. He always felt that the death of Ruyi's mother was related to him, so he took her away from the village, but then left the girl behind and ran away...
He secretly observed Ruyi's face and thought, if he had truly been her master and brought her up properly, maybe everything would have been different.
But in this world, there is no such thing as a regret medicine. Once you miss it, you will miss it forever.
The Taoist priest knew clearly in his heart that he was indeed not qualified to be a Ruyi master.
"Do these monsters arrest people in an order? Is it in chronological order or something else?" Ruyi asked.
The eldest brother who had stayed in the cage the longest said: "I originally thought it was in chronological order, but later I found that it didn't seem to be the case. The female goblin came to pick people, and it seemed that they were randomly selected. There were a few
Those who came later than me have all been arrested."
Ruyi Ningwu and the young master exchanged glances. If they were chosen randomly, it meant that there was a certain chance that they would be captured.
"If you arrest someone every five days, when will you arrest him next?" the young master asked.
The elder brother said with trembling shoulders: "Tomorrow night..."
The three of them were stunned. From this point of view, they didn't have much time at all.
This hanging cage is welded with huge iron bars. Each iron bar is as thick as Ruyi's arm. Unless you have a magic weapon that can cut iron like clay, you can't even think of breaking it.
Their weapons and belongings were taken away, leaving them with nothing but the clothes they were wearing.
