Chapter Forty-Six: The Taken

Xiao Chengqian stood behind me, naturally refusing to pass, but he didn't have the flying and domineering of the past, just silent, if it was the past, he would have scolded a long time ago.

And Tao Bai stood behind Lu Shan, in addition to the shyness of the past, there was also a little bit of fear, Lu Shan subconsciously protected Tao Bai.

However, the old Taoist was very indifferent, just closed his eyes slightly, and with a wave of his hand, several other Taoist priests in the carriage jumped down and walked straight over, as if they were going to forcibly take away Xiao Chengqian and Tao Bai.

Are you going to do it? I was about to make a move subconsciously, but I was also confused in an instant, what kind of spell should I use? I had no idea what spell I was going to use to suppress these people, and it was the first time I had fought so unconfidently.

However, there is no need for me to be confused, the old man who sat in the carriage just waved his hand, and the sky where we were was was surging and was about to accumulate into thick dark clouds

Instantaneous thunder? I thought of my ancestor, and I knew how insignificant my resistance was, but it was impossible to let Xiao Chengqian and Tao Bai be taken away like this, I gritted my teeth and decided to use secret techniques to fight hard, just like last time, use my soul to attract the power of heaven and earth!

"Xiao Chengqian, I won't hurt. As for him, he will soon join you, because it is only a fun sacrifice. "Seeing that I pinched my hand, the old man said again.

At this time, the dark clouds in the sky had already formed, and the lightning swept through the thunder trick without triggering, I wondered why this old Taoist wanted to explain to me, but then he immediately solved my doubts: "The fighting method has no eyes, I don't want to hurt such an excellent sacrifice, you still wait to be sacrificed with peace of mind."

How could I have waited with peace of mind, but the next words of his voice completely disintegrated my will.

"If, if you want to meet your master."

Master! Master, I immediately stopped pinching the mantra, my eyes lost my mind in an instant, and the two words were like the heaviest hammer striking on my chest at once, directly shattering all defenses, reaching the softest in my heart and then detonating all kinds of emotions, but my body was stiff and couldn't move anymore.

"I'll go with him." Xiao Chengqian suddenly stood up directly behind me and walked towards the Taoist priests.

I came to my senses and grabbed Xiao Chengqian's arm at once, how could a brother who shared life and death give up? Even such a thing as meeting with Master was not a reason, and I said, "No, no matter how difficult it is, even if I die, I will not betray you." ”

Xiao Chengqian turned around and smiled at me, and said, "It's not that I mean, but I have a gut feeling that he shouldn't hurt me, and another feeling tells me that I should go with him." ”

I was silent, but my hand did not let go, no matter what the circumstances, I could not give up on anyone around me, anyone!

"It's true, Joichi! If, you really do it for me. Xiao Chengqian was very calm, but his eyes were sincere and firm.

My feeling at the moment was chaotic, and my excellent spiritual sense on weekdays could not predict anything, everything was like a chaos, and I couldn't see clearly ahead in confusion, and the old man in the carriage just said unhurriedly: "I don't have to cheat the sacrifice." ”

Xiao Chengqian broke away from my hand a little harder, patted me on the shoulder, took out his box of cherished cigars from his pocket, stuffed it into me, and said: "There is no way to moisturize, the taste must not be as good as the carefully cared for cigars, but when I see Jiang Ye, give him one, and let him evaluate whether it is better than cigarettes." Believe me, you can see Jiang Ye, and I will definitely be safe. ”

I squeezed the cigar in my hand, my knuckles turned white, and then I exhaled a long breath and put the cigar in my pocket, trust and entrustment, at this time I can only give each other trust and entrustment, and then looked at Xiao Chengqian and nodded heavily.

Xiao Chengqian strode towards the old road, shouting, "Shall I go?" But don't go with that kid. ”

"Well, it's just a sacrifice, so you don't need to bring it." That old man seemed to pay a little bit of attention to Xiao Chengqian's words, and even inexplicably agreed to Xiao Chengqian's request, I saw Lu Shan breathe a sigh of relief, and then walked to my side, it seemed that he wanted to explain something to me.

Xiao Chengqian was pulled into the car by those Taoist priests, it seemed that he wanted to wave his hand to me in a chic manner, but it must have been the pressure from the old Taoist that made him very uncomfortable, and in the end he only shook his hand very slightly, and did not say a word of relief, he could only watch his mouth move.

"You're not as good as him, talent." The old man said to Xiao Chengqian inexplicably, Xiao Chengqian suddenly shrank his body, it seemed that he was a little afraid of the pressure of Lao Dao's words, but the next moment he relaxed again, it seemed that Lao Dao deliberately collected his aura Xiao Chengqian suddenly said loudly: "Yes, I lost to him, and I have been thinking about winning back." ”

The old man didn't speak indifferently, or in his eyes, winning or losing like a sacrifice like an ant struggle.

The carriage slowly turned, and then slowly moved forward, and the men in the hats began to walk towards us, and I waited without feeling at all, just staring at the carriage slowly moving away, my heart full of questions, worries, and confusion.

"Aren't you familiar with me? Hehe" The old man didn't look back, but inexplicably turned around and pointed at me, and then smiled unusually weirdly, making me stand on the spot, why am I familiar with him?

It's a pity that apart from this sentence, he didn't leave a word at all, in the morning light, the group stayed away in silence, and Xiao Chengqian didn't turn his head to look at us, at this time, a few more glances, also afraid of increasing our worries, this should be his thoughts, right?

"Come with us." The few people wearing hats, when we were in a daze, had already walked in front of us silently, and walked with us coldly, which was what the leader said.

Ruyue gently grabbed my arm, maybe the inexplicable thing just now made her instinctively afraid, after all, the pressure brought by the old way is indescribable, it will make people have an invisible fear.

Holding my arm, Ruyue seemed to have a little courage, she looked at these hat-holders, and asked, "Where are you going to take us?" ”

"Of course, it's where the offerings should go." One of the hats said lightly.

――――――――――――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――――――――――――――

Behind that mountain range like the south, there was really a valley, sandwiched between the two mountains, and it was like a line of sky at first, but there was a sheep intestine trail sandwiched between the two mountains.

We silently walked behind these hat-bearers, and this road, which was originally like a sheep's intestine trail, became more and more open, and the distance between the two mountains gradually became farther and farther.

I was surprised that the old man had only set off for less than ten minutes before us, and we had never seen them on the road, so where had they gone?

It's a pity that I can't get an answer to this sentence, and Lu Shan has been walking by my side, trying to explain something to me, but because of the taboo those cloaked people, they still haven't said it, but my brothers and sisters, as well as Tao Bai and Hui Gen'er, have completely relaxed, talking and laughing all the way, like traveling to a new place again.

Just because Brother Chengqing, who has been playing with the copper coins in his hand, said: "Xiao Chengqian, peace." ”

They are at ease, sometimes, Brother Chengqing's divination is more reliable than my spiritual sense, just a simple test of good luck, even if it is the people around him, it is not a big deal, after all, Xiao Chengqian's relationship with us is far away.

It was in this atmosphere that we walked all the way until we came to a very open place, surrounded by low hillsides, and the group of hat-bearers finally stopped.

Finally, a village appeared in front of our eyes, a typical village in the northwest, except for a few brick houses that seemed a little abrupt, almost all the houses were built in caves under the slopes of those low mountains, was this the original holy village?

It looks very ordinary, but there is an indescribable taste of time in the face of the so-called holy village, we are finally here.
