Danhe and Bailu felt someone biting their bodies like a wild beast.
They tasted pain for the first time.
In a panic, Danhe protected the white deer under him, gritted his teeth, and gathered his remaining divine power to push the crazy people away.
The leading victims were immediately blown apart by the divine power.
The burst of blood and internal organs stunned both Danhe and the victims.
This is Danhe's first murder.
But this is not the first time that victims have seen someone die.
The victims were the first to come to their senses, and their eyes became even more angry.
"You...aren't you enshrined by us?!"
"Since it is enshrined by us, then use your strength to treat our epidemic!"
"Eat them! We can also heal our wounds!"
Death only further stimulates the ferocity of the living.
Danhe was finally scared. She was holding the bloody white deer in her arms, terrified.
suddenly:
"well……"
"I knew things would turn out like this..."
A sigh.
Bailu looked up, and Sang turned around to look, only to see that the person in front of him... was actually himself back then - Taoist Nanhua!
Nanhua Taoist shook his head, and with a flick of his fly whisk, a strong wind blew away all the victims in an instant.
Seeing the bloody white deer and the injured Danhe, Nanhua Taoist raised his robe and led them away.
…
When Nanhua Taoist knocked on Acheng's door and brought back the bloody white deer and red crane, everyone was stunned.
In a panic, the white deer was finally rescued.
At this moment, all the totems were in the room, looking at Danhe who was sobbing softly, and then at Bailu.
One of the white deer's antlers was broken, and there were traces of flesh and blood being torn off in many places on its arms, waist, and legs.
On the side, Taoist Nanhua wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"Okay, Bai Lu's life is saved."
Ah Cheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and even as he thanked her repeatedly, his face became increasingly pale.
Upon seeing this, Nanhua Taoist helped Ah Cheng up and entered his room.
Riguang Jinweng and Mrs. Xiayun greeted the other totems to rest, and finally warned them not to leave the courtyard.
At this time, Sunlight Jin Weng looked at Dan He with a slight reproach:
"Why don't you listen to your master?"
"Why go out?"
"Do you know now? What you are thinking about is not safe outside."
"Even if you are a totem!"
Danhe lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
Sang, who was on the side, saw this scene in his eyes and sighed.
Danhe's eyes have changed.
Originally innocent and innocent, she did not see the good in human beings, but saw the ugliest evil in human beings.
Even though this evil... comes from their will to survive.
But in the eyes of Dan He now, there is no way to understand it.
Looking at Bai Lu, who was still frowning in pain in his sleep, Dan He fell silent.
Suddenly, she quietly stood up and came to Acheng's door, listening to the conversation inside.
…
"I haven't seen you for several years, and you are getting more and more haggard." Nanhua Taoist said helplessly: "I asked, why are you so stubborn?"
"You protected Jumong and allowed him to establish the Gurye Dynasty. This is already the most benevolent and righteous act."
"Now, are you going to fight against Wang Mang on your own? Against the new Chinese dynasty?"
"Ah Cheng...you are overestimating your abilities..."
"You studied under old man Ziyang, why can't you understand this point?"
"Follow the weather and live forever!"
However, Acheng smiled bitterly and said:
"But...if Lord Jumong's myth cannot be completed, the myth of the Ju Mong System will be like duckweed without roots."
"The myths born on this basis will all collapse!"
"This...includes the Ten Totems of Immortality!"
"Once the Ten Immortality Totems disappear, the people of the Juli Dynasty will have no patron saint!"
Nanhua Taoist could not help but be speechless.
"Well, after saying so much, I still said it in vain."
"Forget it, it seems it's not the time yet."
"I will come again in a few years."
"I hope that when the time comes, you will understand that...according to the weather is the best way to protect you and preserve your ten immortal lives."
Ah Cheng stubbornly shook his head:
"But...we can't protect the people of Juli like this!"
Taoist Nanhua was stunned for a moment, then swept away the dust with a whisk, and there was already some displeasure in his tone:
"Are you trying to protect the entire country by yourself?"
"Even Wu Xian in the Shang Dynasty would not dare to guarantee this."
"A Cheng, you are not kind, but arrogant!"
"And... he will drag the ten immortals he cares about into the abyss of eternal destruction!"
"That's all..."
"You are so thoughtful!"
Watching Taoist Nanhua leave with his sleeves rolled up, Sang watched silently.
After a long time:
"Indeed...a little arrogant..."
"Moreover, he has not asked Shi Changsheng about his wishes, so..."
Sang couldn't help but look at Dan He who was eavesdropping next to him.
Danhe's eyes have become increasingly obscure.
And then, as time flies, and as day and night continue to alternate, Ah Cheng's situation seems to become more and more unclear.
In the courtyard, the totems were taking turns taking care of the white deer.
After about ten days and nights, Bailu finally woke up.
But... even with the treatment of the Eternal Grass, even if the missing flesh and blood on the white deer's body has been restored, the broken antlers always seem to remind the white deer of that terrifying memory.
On this day, a group of totems were playing by the water.
Dan He came to the room with food in his hands, but saw the nightmare-ridden White Deer, with cold sweat on his face, and murmured in pain:
"Let me go..."
"I will cure you..."
"I beg you..."
"It hurts..."
Danhe's expression changed, he immediately put down his meal and quickly ran to the side of Bailu.
"White deer! White deer!"
Suddenly, the white deer woke up.
The flash of fear and despair in that look made Danhe feel heartbroken.
"Dan He..." Bai Lu hid in Dan He's arms and shivered: "Why... why are those humans different from what the Lord said."
"They are so scary..."
For a moment, Bai Lu couldn't help sobbing.
While Dan He comforted Bai Lu, the self-blame in his eyes gradually turned into resentment.
It was she who insisted on dragging Bai Lu there.
If it weren't for her...
And this scene was not only seen by Sang, but also by Heishan at the door.
There was a trace of confusion in Sang's eyes.
Judging from his behavior, Heishan seemed to deliberately want Bai Lu and Dan He to see this, and... he had also predicted in advance what they might encounter.
The only thing that can be considered a coincidence is...how did my previous life, a Taoist from Nanhua, happen to appear there?
Is it a real coincidence?
Or... is it because of Montenegro?
Dan He silently comforted Bai Lu, let him eat, and then let him sleep.
Walking to the door, after seeing Heishan, Danhe stared at him:
"Have you... known about the situation outside from the beginning!"
Montenegro did not hide it and admitted it outright.
"Why?!" Dan He gritted his teeth: "Why do you still want to..." even though you know it clearly?
"In order to let you see the reality clearly." Heishan turned to look at Danhe: "You also heard what the senior said."
"Master, if you continue like this, you will die and we will not survive."
"If...the people we protect are worthy of us, that's all."
"But... what happened that night should make you understand that humans... are not worth your efforts!"
"You and Bailu almost exhausted their divine power, but they were almost eaten by a group of disaster victims."
"Don't you think...this is not your problem, but their problem?"
Danhe fell silent.
She didn't know how to refute Montenegro.
Seeing this, Heishan leaned against the wall and said quietly:
"I know, you still want to believe the Lord's words."
"Let me tell you one more thing."
"The broken antlers of the white deer were not destroyed at that time, but were obtained by a warlock with some skills as a three-legged cat."
"He is using the antlers of the white deer to treat an important official in the city."
"Speaking of which... today is the time for a banquet. Why don't you... go and have a look?"
Danhe's face turned pale.
The bowls and chopsticks in her hands almost shattered to pieces. She suppressed her anger and left the courtyard again through the passage.
This time, she transformed into a red crane and flew directly to the mansion guided by Black Mountain.
Judging from the luxury of the mansion, it can be seen that Heishan did not lie.
The people who live here are either rich or noble.
After Danhe used his divine power to hide his figure, he quietly entered the mansion.
At this time, a burst of laughter caught her attention.
What he saw was a banquet table, a fat middle-aged man, and opposite him was a warlock with a somewhat stooped figure.
"Mage, I didn't expect you to actually get such a treasure!"
"Wonderful!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The man did not appear to be infected by the plague.
However, what made Dan He angry was that she had already seen the antlers in the bowl of soup on the dining table!
Those are the antlers of a white deer!
The warlock chuckled a few times and showed a very cryptic expression:
"Sir, as long as you drink the antler soup of this sacred deer totem, your body will be restored to its best state."
"At that time, even if you play and sing every day, your body will definitely not be affected in any way."
"Definitely... just have a few more children!"
After the words fell, the two men showed tacit smiles.
But Dan He, who was in a hidden state, had a sudden explosion in his mind.
Sang, who followed closely behind, couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head.
I had just experienced the ugliest side of human nature, and saw part of my companion's body being made into food, and the reason was so ridiculous...
Going crazy... is inevitable!
Sure enough, under Danhe's heavy breathing, he could no longer hide himself.
When her figure appeared in the mansion, both the warlock and the man were slightly startled.
"Huh? Where did this little girl come from? Get out of here!"
However, the warlock on the side saw a circle of crane feathers at the throat of the red crane.
As if he thought of something, the warlock's eyes suddenly filled with fear.
At this time, Danhe slowly raised his head, staring at the two people with his scarlet eyes:
"Heishan is right..."
"You...really don't have the...value to be protected by us!"
[Author's digression]: Little popular science:
Wu Xian in this article was the prime minister next to King Taiwu of the Shang Dynasty.
Rumor has it that he was the inventor of drum instruments and the first person to use a grass called a zodiac for divination, which is also called shi (shi) divination.
At the same time, there are also rumors that he was also an astrologer and the earliest astronomer in Chinese history.
As the representative figures of the theocracy at that time, the ten shamans including Wu Xian were described in the "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Xi Jing".
They are the ten oldest wizards in ancient times and the source of witchcraft.
