Mr. Guo was stunned for a moment, and then he nodded in agreement with understanding.
To be honest, he doesn't have the slightest dislike for these people who are doing business on the dock and asking for a living. To put it in layman's terms, these people are his food and clothing parents in a sense!
Of course, he never cared about it, and besides, the person who gave this order was someone he didn't even dare to offend.
Mr. Guo can only act according to orders.
"Don't blame our platoon for helping these miserable brothers, try to have a good family background in the next life!"
After saying this, Mr. Guo didn't bother to talk nonsense to Lao Sha anymore, and didn't ask his men to come in. He just mentioned him and walked to the temple on the top of the mountain.
Lao Shaman was an old man. He looked vaguely in the direction of the top of the mountain for a few times, and his face changed color slightly, but he immediately thought of something and lowered his head.
But this subtle movement did not escape Mr. Guo, who looked like a frail scholar.
"You old man has a clear face, but what if you guessed it? In Qingshui River, no one can snatch people from the Empress Temple, not even the uncles from the Royal Military Department!"
Lao Sha seemed to be risking his life and laughed strangely.
"My lord, you are very capable. I am afraid that with this kind of martial arts cultivation, you have already reached the state of transformation.
Hehe, but I didn't realize how great you are. Although the old man has suffered a bit in his life, and now he has half his foot in the coffin, but really speaking, you are not as good as me!"
There must have been orders long ago, but today there was no one on the usually heavily guarded mountain road.
Mr. Guo walked quickly while speaking out of boredom.
"Oh, what do you say?"
Lao Sha finally raised his head and glanced at him, and suddenly uttered a few words from his mouth.
"Because I have been a human being in this life, but you have been a dog!"
Mr. Guo's figure was so violent that he stopped on the mountain road. The river wind roared, making the clothes of the two rustle.
There was no anger on his face, he just lowered his head to look at Lao Sha for a few times, then turned to look at the Qingshui River that bypassed the side of the mountain.
At this time, under the sunshine, the broad river surface is sparkling with golden light, and the scenery is myriad.
In the middle of the river, there is still a platoon of brothers planting trees along the river. From a distance, it looks like ants stepping on a long black dragon.
"You're right, you do live more comfortably than me.
But my dog also brings a bunch of puppies who want to eat meat. I also want to live a better life, even better. I don’t want my puppies to disappear into Anmo Mountain for no reason one day!
"
When Lao Sha mentioned the pain in his heart, hatred flashed in Lao Sha's eyes and he stopped talking for a while.
Seeing his silence, Mr. Guo, who seemed not to care just now, shook his head and sneered again.
"Also, let me teach you another lesson. When you are under the roof, you have to lower your head. Don't think that I will go crazy and give you a happy life. To be honest, I don't dare.
But it will be satisfying to give you more pain before you die."
After saying that, before Lao Sha could reveal his thoughts and scold him angrily, the smile on Mr. Guo's face did not change at all, and he patted his neck twice as fast as lightning.
The next moment, Lao Sha's eyes suddenly bulged outwards, and his mouth opened silently, but he couldn't make any sound.
His skinny body suddenly shrank into a ball like a deep-fried shrimp. Severe pain filled every sense of his body, but he couldn't move or speak.
Seeing his appearance, Mr. Guo nodded with satisfaction and ran to the magnificent temple on the top of the mountain without further delay.
There was deathly silence in the empty temple hall.
Mr. Guo looked solemn at this time and threw Lao Sha, who was already convulsing, in front of the tall statue, and then knelt down respectfully.
"Your Majesty, the sinner has been bound, please punish me!"
The white silk weft in front of the main hall automatically opened to both sides when there was no wind, revealing the tall female statue behind it.
The face of the statue is like the full moon, its eyebrows are like distant mountains, and its dark pupils look into the depths of Anmo Mountain.
The woman was holding a flower basket in her hand, but what was in the basket was not flowers or fruits, but a chubby baby, as lifelike as if it could come alive at any time.
On the left and right sides of the tall statue, stood a pair of boys and girls with similar faces.
The man wears a green shirt and the woman wears a white skirt, and her painted eyes seem to have flashes of light from time to time.
But the two boys are extremely strange. No matter where you stand in the hall, you will feel like they are staring at you.
Mr. Guo was not at all surprised by this strange sight. It was obviously not the first time he had seen it. After he finished speaking, he knocked his head on the ground, like an old dog.
After a long while, a clear female voice sounded.
"That's right, judging by his aura, it's this person! You, the dog, have done a good job in this matter. Pai Gang will be exempted from the boy sacrifice this month!"
Mr. Guo, who had always kept his emotions secret, finally couldn't help but tremble all over after hearing the answer he had been waiting for, and kowtowed respectfully again.
"Thank you very much, Madam, for your kindness. The entire platoon gang is deeply grateful."
After waiting for a while, when there was no movement above, he knew the opportunity and exited the hall.
I don't know how much time passed, but Lao Sha, who had fainted from the pain, finally woke up.
He raised his head and looked around, saw the mysterious statue above, and knew that this was the Water Goddess who was avoided by everyone at Qingshui Pier.
As for the two boys, one green and one white, next to them, in the mouths of those in the Pai Gang, they are the blue and white divine attendants.
But he never understood why these people would come to his Ping An Company?
At this time, the temple was empty. Lao Sha thought of the old brothers who had just died in the hands of Master Jie Pi, and the grief he had been suppressing in his heart finally couldn't be suppressed anymore, and he began to mourn silently.
Muddy tears soaked their marks on the smooth and flat terrazzo floor.
As time passed, Lao Sha suddenly felt as if someone was watching him.
He raised his head suddenly, but he only saw the green and white divine servants who were looking ahead just now, but now they all turned sideways and were staring at him.
"What the hell are you pretending to be a ghost?"
Mr. Sha swallowed his saliva and plucked up the courage to curse loudly, but unexpectedly, there was a crisp sound right away.
"In the presence of the Water Goddess, the sinner still won't kneel down and pray?"
Mr. Sha was in a very excited mood, and he knew that this time was definitely going to be a disaster. The blood buried deep in his bones rushed straight to his forehead, and he started to curse.
"You guys, you dare to call me gods, but you are just a few weird and evil things.
Come on, come on, if you dare to chop me up, if I frown, I’ll write the word “sha” upside down! Bah, you bastard who hides his head and shows his tail.”
"Damn it!"
The stiff clay face of the girl in white shirt finally showed an angry look.
The white light flashed away, and Mr. Sha, who was still cursing loudly, suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning, and then his whole body flew up from the ground and hit the stone wall hard.
"A group of... demons and monsters, I'm just watching from the ground while the exorcism department comes to deal with them..."
When Lao Sha was young, he crawled out of a pile of dead people, but now he became more frustrated and stronger. Before he even hit the ground, he was vomiting blood and yelling and cursing.
The girl in the white shirt trembled all over and was about to take action again, but at this moment, a voice as cold as a cold spring sounded.
"Okay, Xiaobai, stop it. Killing can only be done with a nod. This man is considered a tough guy, why bother humiliating him?"
As this voice sounded, a thin layer of water mist quickly filled the empty hall. If you listened carefully, you could hear the faint sound of rushing water surrounding it.
When the water mist gathers, it seems to be spiritual, covering the tall statues of gods hazy and graceful like immortals.
"Empress..."
As soon as the girl in white shirt heard this voice, a look of surprise appeared on her little clay face. She stopped pretending, moved her hands and feet a few times, and then kowtowed upward like a human being.
The boy in green shirt who had been silent next to him seemed to do everything slowly, and now he also bowed down.
"Get up, no need to be polite!
This person does have the aura of the exorcist named Xu Luo, but it has been there for a long time, and fortunately my magical power is quite magical about it, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to detect it!"
The water mist was rippling, and one could vaguely see the tall statues shedding their skin layer by layer, just like a snake shedding its skin.
The girl in white shirt looked up and smiled innocently.
"Empress, shall we go directly to capture Na Xu Luo now?"
The boy in green shirt tilted his head, his lips slightly split as if in slow motion.
"Xiaoqing, don't talk!"
But before he could say anything, the cold voice from above had already spoken to stop him as expected.
The boy in green shirt looked at the color of his clothes and then slowly lay down on the ground.
"call……"
"Shh..."
Xiao Bai next to him and the Water Goddess who had not shown up yet unexpectedly let out a sigh of relief at the same time.
After a while, the voice of the Water Goddess sounded again, but her words seemed to be slightly sarcastic.
"Looking for someone? Haha, where did they get their faces? Those people are just using each other with us.
If I can find this person for them, I will be fulfilling my friendship with the alliance. Palace Lord..."
The cold voice suddenly paused, and the figure in the mist suddenly raised its head and looked toward the depths of Anmo Mountain.
At this moment, a strand of gray hair fell into the figure's head out of thin air, as if teleporting.
"How can it be……"
The cold voice suddenly became a little anxious, and the water mist surrounding him seemed to sense the master's mood, and became violently distorted like waves.
Xiaobai was also shocked by this turn of events. She had never seen her empress, who had amazing magical powers, lose her composure like this.
But before she could think about it, the cold voice sounded again.
"Xiao Bai, kill him. The master of the palace has summoned him. We must rush there immediately."
Xiao Bai was stunned at first, but upon hearing the name of Palace Master, a look of understanding immediately appeared on his face.
Just when she was about to take action, Xiao Qing, who had been taking a slow shot next to her, suddenly disappeared and appeared in front of Lao Sha, who was coughing up blood and watching the show.
Without hesitation at all, he lightly pressed his palm on Lao Sha's head, then returned to where he was and knelt down respectfully.
"Mother, mother... you... wake up... are here!"
For some reason, Xiaoqing at this time was no longer as decisive as when he took action just now, his eyes were dull, and even when he spoke, he jumped out word by word.
Xiaobai twitched the corner of his mouth, resisting the urge to slap him in the face, and acted coquettishly and angry angrily.
"Empress, look at me, I don't know what's going on in my head every day, and I'm so slow and careless in front of you!"
