Chapter 6 Mrs. 2

Chapter 6: The Twelve Ladies
The earth shook and the mountains trembled, and all the beasts fled.

Looking around, it was a doomsday scene. Towering trees fell down at any time, and cracks appeared everywhere in the ground, with large pieces of yellow mud gushing out from them.

Chen Huangpi held a brass oil lamp on his head, with the wind rising from his feet. He stepped on the fallen trees and leaped dozens of feet away.

Even so, I was almost stained by the mud many times.

Escape room.

Chen Huangpi saw that many animals were also fleeing, but in the opposite direction of his.

"Huang Er, is there really a safe place ahead?"

"Of course."

"Then why are these beasts running behind us?"

"Because there are people in front, a lot of people."

Hear this.

Chen Huangpi was stunned for a moment.

In his life, apart from his master, he had only met a few cultivators like Old Lin.

Now that I am about to see other living people, I feel inexplicably nervous.

I haven't killed anyone yet, what if I leave someone alive?
Pooh……

Why kill people?
It’s all Huang Er’s fault, he led himself astray!
The brass oil lamp had no idea that Chen Huangpi was discrediting it in his heart. It widened its eyes and looked into the distance like two rays of golden light.

"It's broken! Chen Huangpi!!!"

"what happened?"

"These people are blessed by the gods. I saw the statue. It was a fox. It smelled foul."

"Is there a problem?"

Chen Huangpi was very puzzled.

In the past, there were many gods enshrined in the temple, and they were all very kind and amiable. Sometimes he would steal some of the offerings, but the gods would not say anything to him and would even care whether he had eaten enough.

Even if the mutated statue is very fierce and evil, it is because it has been polluted.

"Gods are all good people!"

"What a bullshit! When the gods see me, it's like a dog seeing shit, and when the temple master sees you, it's the same. Anyway, I'm pretending to be dead, so you take it easy."

After saying that, the brass oil lamp used its hands and feet to climb from Chen Huangpi's head to his waist and hung itself on him.

Finally, he stretched out a hand, scooped up some mud from the ground and smeared it on the lamp.

Chen Huangpi covered his nose and said with disgust in his heart.

"Huang Er, you are smearing dog shit."

"I know, be careful, those people are coming."

The voice just fell.

Sure enough, Chen Huangpi saw a group of people appearing in front of him.

These people were dressed in linen clothes, some were injured, and some were holding weapons. The young and strong men protected the old, weak, women and children in the middle, and carried a statue of a god that was as tall as a human and looked like a fox.

At the front of the team stood a hunched witch holding a staff.

When Chen Huangpi saw this group of people.

The other party also saw him.

"Yubaba, there is a doll over there."

A shirtless man with bloodstains on his chest asked, "Could he be a remnant of a nearby village? Lost with the others?"

"He is a monk."

Granny Yu narrowed her eyes and looked at Chen Huangpi carefully.

He is a monk with great accomplishments.

But it was as if there was some treasure on him, and he couldn't see through the specific realm.

Could it be that the monk outside has come in again?

Thinking of this, Yubaba did not let down her guard.

There are too many evil creatures in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and it is not uncommon to see creatures that look exactly like ordinary people.

"Mountain God, is this person the evil one?"

Yubaba's heart moved and she looked at the statue of the mountain god that everyone was carrying.

However, what surprised her was

The statue, which was fine before, suddenly closed its eyes at some point.

"The mountain god has closed his eyes!"

"Granny Yu, what's going on?"

"Has the mountain god abandoned us?"

When the group of disabled people saw this, they immediately panicked.

Yubaba frowned and kept communicating with the statue in her heart, but the gods were always mysterious and would not respond to her wishes.

And just then.

Chen Huangpi's voice rang out: "He must be starving."

"When I'm starving, I just close my eyes and sleep. The same goes for the gods. Do you have any tributes?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

The shirtless man heard Chen Huangpi's absurd words and said rudely, "Boy, what nonsense are you talking about? The gods were born with submission. Do you think you are a cat or a dog? Will you starve if you don't eat the tribute?"

Chen Huangpi was surprised and asked, "Don't gods eat offerings?"

"Nonsense! Of course I won't eat it!"

The man waved his hand to drive Chen Huangpi away.

"Go away! You are disrespectful to the mountain god. We don't welcome you."

From the beginning, Yubaba thought that this boy might be a monk from outside the mountain.

Now I feel a little shaken.

How could the monks outside not even know this common sense?
And just then.

"and many more."

Yubaba suddenly looked behind Chen Huangpi.

"Wawa, are these people with you?"

"what?"

Chen Huangpi was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look behind him.

I didn't know when, but behind me, more than ten monks riding fast horses had strolled over.

The monks rode on tusked, scaly horses.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of everyone.

"Remnant people?"

One of them rode forward, looked down at everyone, and finally set his sights on Yubaba.

"Exactly."

Granny Yu looked at them warily and stepped forward to ask, "The dragon is turning over. What are you doing in the mountains at this time?"

The man did not answer, but said calmly: "It is getting dark, and you only have one statue to protect you. I am afraid it is not enough."

Monks should avoid asking questions that go to the root of things.

When she was young, Yubaba once walked out of the Ten Thousand Mountains and dealt with monks outside.

She knew the danger of these monks.

Then he said, "Your Excellency, please do not worry about this. Even ants can survive, so we, the remnants, can also survive. It is getting late, so I will not block your way."

"Everyone, make way." Yubaba gave the order, and the huge team immediately made way, creating a path.

Seeing this, the monk couldn't help but look at the veiled woman behind him.

"The Twelfth Lady?"

The woman called the Twelve Madams said impatiently: "The earth dragon turns over, and it only happens once in a hundred years. Every time the evil becomes more terrifying, this lady has three statues, plus this one of yours, which is enough to spend the night safely."

"This……"

"Granny Yu..."

When the remnants heard this, they were immediately moved.

The same thing happened to Yubaba. When they fled from their original town, they only brought out one statue, as the other was swallowed up by the yellow mud that emerged from the crack in the ground.

If the three statues of this group of people are included, it will be enough to get through the night safely.

By daybreak, the earth dragon's upheaval may be over.

In addition to warning them that there was evil ahead, the mountain god also conveyed that there was a way to survive ahead and told them to move forward.

Could it be that the way out lies with these people?

And just then.

A hurried voice sounded in Yubaba's heart.

"Hurry, agree to them."

That was the voice of the mountain god.

Yubaba heaved a sigh of relief and immediately said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you all tonight."

The Twelfth Lady did not say a word. She rode her horse to a clean place to stop. She took out a small object that looked like a house from her pocket and threw it on the ground. Suddenly, a wooden house rose from the ground.

As for the other monks, they dismounted and sat cross-legged around the house.

Chen Huangpi was a little stunned.

He had never seen such a method before.

I also felt that the twelfth lady was so grand.

Chen Huangpi, who was eight years old yesterday, was greatly shocked.

At this time, Tangbaba noticed Chen Huangpi and immediately frowned and said, "Wa, aren't you with them?"

"no."

Chen Huangpi said, "Grandma, can I stay here for one night? I'm small and can't take up much space."

Yubaba hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I can't see through your true colors, and I don't want to keep you, but I asked the mountain god, and he refused to answer me, so I don't know whether I should keep you or not."

The mountain god gave two warnings, one was about the way to survive and the other was about evil.

The way of survival now lies with this group of people because they have three statues.

But there is another evil...

"He is not."

A voice suddenly sounded in Yubaba's heart.

That was the voice of the mountain god.

Yubaba was stunned. Since this boy was not evil, then where was the terrifying evil that the mountain god had warned her about before?

And why did the mountain god close his eyes?

"Forget it, just stay here, and leave at daybreak."

"Whatever happens at night, pretend you didn't see it, and don't run around."

After saying this, Granny Tang turned around and left, but she paused at the end and suddenly said, "Also, you look the same age as my granddaughter, but you are not sensible at all and your words are irrelevant. This is not good and will offend people."

"Then I'll try not to talk!"

Chen Huangpi nodded obediently.

At this time, night had just fallen.

The last ray of setting sun disappeared from above Chen Huangpi’s head.

Inexplicably, a chill suddenly enveloped everyone's heart.

In the darkness, there seemed to be some voice whispering.

And just then.

Three inexplicable voices suddenly rang out in the wooden house where the Twelfth Lady lived.

The sound is grand, yet it also sounds like some kind of syllable.

Three halos emerged from it.

The fox statue worshipped by Yubaba and other remnants also emitted a halo of light.

Four halos shot up into the sky, covering everyone.

The sounds in the darkness and the terrifying strangeness were immediately isolated.

Seeing this, Chen Huangpi felt relieved.

It turns out that the difference between gods is greater than that between humans and dogs.

The gods outside really do protect people.

The gods in the Taoist temple only know how to eat dry rice, no wonder the master drove them all out.

Suddenly, someone looked up at the sky and spoke in fear.

"Look, the red moon is gone..."

"How could the red moon disappear?"

"It's never been like this before..."

"Calm down!"

That was Yubaba's voice. She tapped the ground with her staff and looked at the disabled people with sharp eyes.

"With the blessing of the four gods, nothing will happen tonight."

Having said that, Yubaba's one eye glanced at Chen Huangpi who was sitting motionless on the ground not far away.

"This kid is really carefree and stupid."

Chen Huangpi didn't know that Tangbaba thought he was stunned, so he just muttered quietly: "When the earth dragon turns over, the red moon will disappear. Why do these people seem to be encountering it for the first time?"

Earth dragons often turn over in the Shiwanda Mountains.

I have encountered Chen Huangpi many times.

He was indeed very experienced, so he simply closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

"I'm staying out all night, I don't know if Master will miss me."

"I hope Master doesn't miss me too much. It's so dark now. What if he comes out to look for me and accidentally falls?"

Chen Huangpi muttered to himself and fell asleep in a daze.

The night is like water.

It was unnaturally quiet all around.

I don’t know how long it had been, but a voice suddenly sounded in Chen Huangpi’s heart.

"Chen Huangpi, wake up."

"Huang Er?"

"Don't speak, don't open your eyes, something is watching you."

However, Chen Huangpi had already opened his eyes.

He saw a muddy figure, a little shorter than himself, standing outside the protection area of ​​the four gods and waving at him.

"Brother, hello."
