The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 363 The Missing Zhu Nu

Su-boom!

Seeing that Zhao Mu was about to swallow the "Mirage Pearl", a piercing sound suddenly came from the courtyard behind them.

The next moment, a cyan light pierced the sky directly, and directly knocked the "Mirage Orb" in Zhao Mu's hand into the air.

"Amitabha!"

At the same time, a resonant Buddha's name sounded simultaneously, suppressing the furious Ah Da and the invisible thing in time.

"what is that?"

It wasn't until this time that everyone present saw the true face of the flashing "blue light".

That is not a weapon like a sword, nor is it some invisible magical power...

That "green light" turned out to be a hairpin.

A beautiful hairpin forged by integral casting method, with a blue spirit snake entrenched on the surface.

At this moment, the lively spirit snake is holding the "Mirage Bead" in its mouth, as if this hairpin originally looked like this.

"It seems that I came in time."

Slowly stepping out from behind the door, Pei Wende simply beckoned, and the cyan hairpin flew back to his side.

It's just that I don't know if it's an illusion, but the "spirit snake" entrenched on the hairpin always gives people a reluctant feeling.

Fortunately, this kind of "reluctance" is more because the green-scaled snake is dissatisfied with Pei Wende's attitude of "calling cats and dogs", but it does not affect his control over the hairpin itself.

"Ada, the village chief, and Zhao Mu..."

Sweeping his eyes over the "people" who were still standing, Pei Wende finally made a judgment in an unquestionable tone.

"This farce is over!"

......................................................................................................

"This farce is over!"

Zhao Mu looked at the "outsider" in astonishment. He thought about ten thousand possibilities after he swallowed the "phantom bead", but he never thought that this "outsider" would show up to stop him in the end.

"Why did you stop me?"

After staring at Pei Wende for a while, Zhao Mu finally asked this question.

I am not related to this "outsider", but the other party repeatedly blocks my actions.

And judging from various results, this "outsider" is obviously kind to himself, otherwise he would not often show up at the last critical moment.

"Because I promised your father that I would not let you, a foolish boy, be sold and pay back the money."

As if responding to Pei Wende's words, Ah Da, who had been suppressed by the Buddha's name before, immediately regained his composure, and then appeared by his side like a ghost.

"Besides, I can't bear the sight of some old and cunning guys who push others to hell for their own self-interest."

Not hiding his dislike for the old man in black, when Pei Wende said this, his eyes never left the old man beside Zhao Mu.

"If you really want to protect the village, why don't you swallow the 'Mirage Orb' yourself to keep everyone safe?"

"It can also be said that Zhu Nu swallowed the 'Mirage Pearl' because her own character was too stubborn, and you didn't have time to stop it."

"But what about Zhao Mu? Why did you trick him into swallowing the 'Mirage Pearl'?"

"Don't tell me that Zhao Mu is a 'child of the mist' or other nonsense!"

"Ada sacrificed himself, didn't he only keep the village peaceful for ten years?"

"Since the end result is 'disappear' anyway, why don't you sacrifice yourself first!?"

Facing Pei Wende's blunt questioning, the black-clothed old man didn't know whether he was at a loss for words or had expected it earlier, and behaved very calmly.

"You are an outsider who doesn't know anything, what qualifications do you have to manage our affairs."

Calmly showing the rusty sword in his hand, although the old man in black didn't say much, an unspoken killing intent quietly enveloped the audience.

"Hmph! I really don't know what you're trying to sell."

"But as a victim, Ah Da knows all about your tricks."

"This includes the part of the truth that you deliberately concealed and did not explain."

The pupils constricted unconsciously, and the old man in black immediately turned his gaze to Ah Da next to him, with a little disbelief on his face.

"how is this possible?"

Although the old man in black didn't reveal much.

But judging from the other party's performance at the moment, Zhao Mu knew that the other party had concealed some crucial things just as the "outsider" said.

"Old village chief?"

He ignored Zhao Mu's call. After the initial panic, the old man in black looked at Ada and Pei Wende already full of thoughts.

"How much do you all know?"

"And the sudden riot of the invisible thing is related to Ah Da!"

It was clearly a questioning sentence pattern, but when the old man in black said the last sentence, his tone suddenly became affirmative.

"Obviously... it was you... who first deceived...our..."

Angry, unwilling, sad, annoyed...

It has clearly turned into an invisible and intangible existence, but the emotions conveyed by Ah Da at this moment are so clear and complicated.

As the guardian who has suppressed the entire fog for more than ten years alone, the pathetic person who is called "the tomb-slayer beast" by those who know...

Ah Da never thought that everything about him was arranged by the people in the village.

However, the facts have proved that no matter whether it is Zhao Mu or Ah Da, they have never left the village and come into contact with the sinister people, so they simply cannot understand where the "bottom line of evil" of human beings lies.

"..."

Speechless and silent, Zhao Mu looked at everyone present, his mind has never been so confused.

Years of relationship made Zhao Mu inclined to trust the old village head.

But his father's words made him feel very clearly that the whole incident was actually not as simple as he imagined.

Under the impact of all kinds of contradictions, Zhao Mu instinctively turned his gaze to Zhu Nu who was lying aside.

Anyone in this world can lie to him, but his own mother is the only one who can't lie to him——Zhao Mu firmly believed in this from beginning to end.

Then, what happened next made Zhao Mu completely lose his trust in the old village chief.

Because most of Zhu Nu's body was disappearing, and it was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This... is... the final outcome of losing... the 'Mirage Pearl'..."

Also noticing Zhu Nu's disappearance, Ah Da's voice became sad again, and this time there was only sadness left.

"She...after all...couldn't persist until...his recovery..."

Slightly sighed, Pei Wende knew what this meant, and this time he was helpless.

"I'm sorry, it seems that I still can't save your wife after all."
