I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 290
The yellow dog blocked the way, baring its teeth and drooping its tail.

"Where is the dog?"

Gu Yao muttered in a low voice, raised his hand, and a gust of wind condensed into a ball in his palm, and threw it towards the yellow dog, intending to roll it aside.

But this dog is like a tiger, just opening its mouth to yell, there will be gusts of evil wind, protecting the dog's body, and what makes Gu Yao even more surprised is that the wind ball he casually hit was also controlled by the yellow dog, turning around in the air for a while. After the circle, it became more ferocious and slammed into him.

With one finger poking at the scattered wind group, Gu Yao looked at the dog in surprise. This dog is actually a monster. It is really strange that a monster has no monster aura all over its body.

Under his gaze, the yellow dog raised its head and howled like a wolf, the wind gathered and the ground bulged, and dogs as big as cows gradually condensed in the wind.

The three of Gu Yao were immediately surrounded by hundreds of ferocious mud dogs, but the yellow dog didn't attack after summoning so many mud dogs. Instead, it made a barking sound again, and its claws kept staggering to pick up the mud on the ground.

"Are you threatening us to leave here?" Gu Yao asked with some uncertainty.

The yellow dog nodded, and the mud dogs took a step forward in unison.

Looking at this posture, as long as Gu Yao doesn't immediately agree to come down and leave quickly, it will attack.

Gu Yao thought for a while and said, "I don't need to go in, but I have friends in the village, can you call them out?"

The yellow dog stared at him coldly, as if thinking about it. After a few breaths, it nodded. The mud dog surrounded Gu Yao and the three of them in a circle, but it faced the three of them and retreated. leave.

"It's a good thing to be able to communicate. This yellow dog is kind. Maybe we can make friends with it and get some news." Gu Yao and Jing Yin beside him said.

It's just that Jing Yin's face is calm, but her hands hidden in her sleeves are already twisted to the extreme. The pain of this malignant sore gradually becomes stronger with time, and it directly affects her soul. She already has some irrepressible desire to The lotus fire is lit.

Shadow Changle looked at these mud dogs, his expression was a little dazed again, and he suddenly said something, but Gu Yao didn't hear it clearly, and when he asked her again, she couldn't remember it herself.

"The connection between her and Princess Changle is through that spell, which is why she is distracted now, but after entering here, the connection has been weakened a lot. If Changle herself is here, she may be able to understand many things."

While waiting for the yellow dog to come back, Gu Yao scanned the surroundings with the technique of seclusion, hoping to see something, but there was no gain. This space was extremely silent, everything seemed to be still, even the wind blowing , seem to follow a certain pattern.

If you stay here for a long time, people will go crazy, maybe that's why that Shutao Immortal Official was reduced to that.

And the Hundred Cats Talisman outside, does it have anything to do with the Immortal Shutao?
After all, that woman loves cats very much, so it is not surprising that she made such a talisman.

Thinking of this, Gu Yao turned his head and asked, "What is the cultivation level of that Shutao Immortal?"

Shadow Changle thought for a while: "I'm not sure, but she has a detached status in the palace, and she can be called an immortal official by His Majesty, she should be a real Yangshen."

Gu Yao nodded, real Yangshen, as long as he is not the kind of Shangjing, then he can only rely on Die'er to deal with it.

Thinking this way, the yellow dog came back with Die Er.

"Dieer, where's Yidie?"

Seeing that she was the only one here, Gu Yao asked a little strangely.

Die'er's eyes flickered slightly, and said: "Let's go first."

"what?"

Gu Yao was a little surprised by Die'er's arm, and under the gaze of the yellow dog, he walked quickly towards the cave where he came.

After walking far away, the yellow dog had dispersed away from the mud dogs, so Die'er stopped and said: "Yidie went to visit the ground, I made an agreement with her, when you come back, I will take you there, and I will take the path to avoid the dog. "

Then, he glanced in the direction of the yellow dog, and ran towards the cave quickly: "This is a circle, connected in all directions, and the ginseng is behind the village. To go normally, you can only go in the village, but there is a yellow dog Block the way, it won't let us in, so go the other way around the edge."

"Is that so?" Gu Yao was very surprised, and followed Die'er to the mountain where they came in, but this time he didn't enter the cave, but turned around the foot of the mountain and stopped at the back of the mountain.

Behind the mountain, there is another mountain peak.

"Go up the mountain, and after passing the mountain, you can see their ginseng harvesting ground." Die'er said.

The four went up the mountain, and Die Er explained while climbing: "After you left, we wanted to stay in the village to wait for you, but first there was a sudden earthquake, and then that yellow dog came rushing from nowhere and forced me to wait for you." leave."

"I wanted to drive the dog away, but the dog is a bit magical, and my spells have little effect on it. Yidie also prevented me from hurting it, saying that it is a member of the village."

"After that, Yidie discussed with the yellow dog for a while."

Gu Yao interrupted: "Wait, discuss? Can the dog talk?"

Die Er recalled it for a while, then shook her head and said, "No, but Yi Die can understand it, and dogs can understand human language."

"That's it, you go on."

Die Er responded, and continued: "Later they agreed that I couldn't stay in the village, but Yi Die didn't want to leave either. She wanted to stay here and wait for her relatives to come back, so she had to go to the ginseng village behind the village. land."

"Later, she will tell the secret. Let me take you around here to find her."

At this time, it was almost time to reach the top of the mountain. Gu Yao recalled what Die Er said just now while walking, and suddenly asked: "Since Yi Die can communicate with that yellow dog, why didn't she ask the yellow dog where the villagers went?" ?”

Die'er said: "She asked, and the yellow dog said that it didn't know either. Recently, a group of crazy cats sneaked into the village. It spent a lot of time driving those cats away every day to prevent them from entering the village."

Gu Yao nodded: "What she said may not be the truth, maybe the dog told her, but she didn't want to tell us."

Already at the top of the mountain, Gu Yao looked into the distance, the thin clouds were flowing, and there was a village deep in the white clouds in the distance.

"It's really connected."

Gu Yao sighed, looked behind him and turned to Die Er: "Where is Shendi?"

"It's just down there. There's a ravine below. There are ginseng in the ditch, so it's called ginseng land."

Gu Yao nodded, and jumped down the mountain, followed by the other three people. Halfway up the mountain, Jie Jian flew across the sky, emitting silver light, and turned into a huge sword five feet long and six feet wide, carrying all four of them.

Driven by swordsmanship and walking with the sword, Gu Yao asked Die'er to guide the way to find Yidie, while he himself used nine breaths to convince him to quickly recover his strength.

This sword control technique is convenient, and it consumes a lot of qi, and this place is special, if it wasn't for worrying about Yidie's problems, plus the golden elixir and the method of Nine Breath Convincing Qi, he would not have dared to act like this.

Flying at low altitude on the Jiejian sword, Die Er saw Yi Die in less than a cup of tea empty stomach.

Yidie was really squatting at the side of a mound at the moment, picking up pictures, Die'er yelled in the air, which made her tremble, and hurriedly stood up, with her hands covered in mud behind her back, and kept wiping her pants. .

"What are you doing?"

After the four of them landed, Gu Yao asked curiously.

Yidie squeezed out a smile: "It's digging ginseng for fun."

"Dig ginseng? Play?" Gu Yao looked at the back of her trying to cover, a white line lay on it in a small pit, and the middle part was buried in the soil.

"I remember that ginseng is bound with red thread?"

Gu Yao walked over and asked a little strangely.

As for the ginseng collectors, he heard some in Luoyang not long ago. When these people find ginseng, because of the legend that there are ginseng dolls that can escape from the earth, once they find it, no matter how big or small, they will immediately tie it with a red thread The stems and leaves of ginseng—although they are useless in practice, the real ginseng dolls can run away as long as they touch the soil. If they are really caught, they have to be trapped in a jade box.

Why are white lines used here?
He looked at Yidie, waiting for her to explain.

Yidie sighed: "This is because the ginseng we have here is blood ginseng, which can only be tied with white thread."

Blood ginseng?
Gu Yao remembered that when he was in Luoyang, the beginning of his fight with a series of wild grass Taoist priests was a ginseng harvester and blood ginseng, but he didn't care much about the aftermath, after all, he had no desire for ginseng.

Crouching down, he pulled the white thread, but he didn't expect to pull the white thread out with a light pull. He hastily loosened the soil and found it was empty: "Is it because I didn't catch it, or was it caught by me?" let go?"

Yidie hesitated to speak.

Seeing her like this, Gu Yao was a little curious, so he continued to dig down. Unexpectedly, after such a dig, he dug out a small black porcelain fragment.

There is something under here, Gu Yao regained his energy, took out Jiejian as a shovel, picked up piles of soil, and after a while, he dug out a pile of broken porcelain pieces.

Gu Yao didn't stop until he dug a big pit and found nothing else, and piled up all the broken porcelain pieces together, a small pile, it looked like it should be a vat.

"Miss Yidie, what is this?" Gu Yao asked.

Yi Die drew a few circles on the ground, and finally made up her mind: "You guys follow me."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and walked towards the direction of the village.

Several people followed her, turned left and right in the ravine, and finally came to a small wooden house.

The wooden house was locked with a flat copper lock that looked like a brick, and Yidie dug out a small box from the door of the wooden house, took out the key from it, opened the lock, pushed open the door and said, "Look."

The four of Gu Yao stood at the door and looked in, only to see that the small wooden house was filled with black water tanks.

However, these tanks are obviously not filled with water, and there are densely packed finger-sized holes on the tank body.

Yidie smiled wryly and said, "These jars were made by the ancestors of our village, and they are specially used to trap King Ginseng."

"Shen Wang?" Gu Yao thought about the broken pile just now, "The same is true for that vat, it was broken, so Shen Wang ran away?"

Yidie nodded: "King Shen has the ability to calm the earth's qi and reconcile yin and yang. This place has become like this. The villagers disappeared because of King Shen's disappearance."

"how do you know?"

"The dog king told me just now."

The king of dogs refers to the yellow dog. It sounds like the dog has a high status.

When Die Er heard this, she was a little angry: "So you just told me that you didn't ask anything, are you lying to me?"

Yidie bowed and apologized: "Miss Die'er, I'm sorry, but the meaning of King Shen is very important. Before I can confirm it, I dare not say it. After I come here to confirm it, I dare to tell you."

Gu Yao put his hand on Die'er's shoulder, signaling her to calm down: "Then what's going on here? Where did the villagers go? I met an old man about this height, holding a walking stick, and speaking strange words. , is it from the village? There is also a woman who raises cats, do you know?"

Gu Yao asked all the questions in one go.

Yidie sat on the threshold in frustration, with her head hanging down: "I don't know the details, when I was robbed by those people, the place was fine, and I just asked the dog king about many things. "

"How much do you know?"

Yidie thought for a while and said: "A long time ago, a group of people came to the village. They lived in peace with us and set up a camp outside the village. They have been circling around Banyue Lake all this time. The woman you mentioned , probably one of them."

"As for where the villagers have gone, I really don't know. The dog king just told me that one day after King Shen disappeared, everyone disappeared."

"The old man you mentioned, I'm not sure, I want to meet him, where is he?" Yidie raised her head and asked.

Gu Yao fell silent for a moment: "I killed him by mistake."

"Is that so." Yidie was also silent.

"Did King Shen escape by himself, or was he taken away by someone?" Gu Yao asked after a long silence.

"That group of people stole it," Yidie gritted her teeth, and said fiercely: "The dog king told me that one day that group of people suddenly started to evacuate. At first, everyone didn't find out the reason, but later they found out that these people stole After losing King Shen, Banyue Lake started to attack, if you don’t leave, you will die here.”

"Trouble with Moon Lake?"

"It's a legend. It is said that because there are two treasures of heaven and earth, it has maintained a two-form formation, so that it can seal Banyue Lake. Become a soul-hunting evil spirit.”

"But there doesn't seem to be any changes in Banyue Lake now?"

Yidie shook her head: "I don't know either. The dog king only said that it was a means left by our ancestors, and managed to maintain this place, but it was only temporarily."

"Then what's your plan now?" Gu Yao asked again.

Yidie got up: "I want to take back King Shen and the villagers, and make these villains pay the price."

As she said that, she suddenly knelt down to Gu Yao: "Please help me, I am willing to pay any price."

Gu Yao was just wondering how she would take revenge. After all, on the surface, she has no cultivation level. Although the yellow dog is weird and powerful, it can still compare to Ying Mu Dao?
Unexpectedly, the method is to ask yourself
He hurriedly helped Yidie up: "Miss Yidie, you think too highly of me, and I'm not Ying Mudao's opponent."

Yidie shook her head again and again: "No, the one who took King Shen was not the one who took me. At least King Shen is not with that person."

"what?"

"When I was locked in that dark room, I met many people. They didn't smell like King Ginseng. You don't know that blood ginseng has a very strange smell, and the smell of King Ginseng is even more special."

"Then who snatched King Shen?" A figure flashed in Gu Yao's mind, but he still asked.

Yidie suddenly looked at Shadow Changle: "It must be in the hands of your royal family! To practice that set of secret techniques, blood ginseng is necessary, and their skills have been cultivated to such a degree that they have surpassed all the people in the village who have practiced before." , it must be your royal family who stole King Shen!"

The atmosphere was silent, Shadow Chang Le was a little confused, but still said: "I don't remember that you need to take ginseng to practice this exercise."

"You are a vice, the vice uses human blood to nourish ginseng, and then the main sucks ginseng juice, you don't know it's normal!" Yidie shouted a little excitedly.

The two stared at each other inexplicably, and Gu Yao interjected, "But if it's really the royal family, then it's even more impossible to get King Shen back, let alone take revenge."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the sky and remembered that the woman named Shutao Xianguan said that tomorrow he would understand what she meant, so he acted as a peacemaker and let Yidie calm down first, and she didn't know anything at the moment You might as well wait until you ask the woman tomorrow before making a guess.
