Gu Immortal Returns

Jin Lan did not take action personally. After deciding to go to Shangli City, Sheng Hongzhang sent someone over to help Mrs. Sheng pack her things.

Jin Lan asked these people to dig a passage behind the Gu Immortal Temple at night.

On the day of the banquet, no one would pay attention to the Gu Immortal. Jin Lan asked people to enter the Gu Immortal Temple through the passage.

Of course I could hear the sounds in the ground clearly in the past two days. I said nothing and watched Niandi standing in the hall, looking happy.

I understand that Brother Nian is leaving the village now, but this Gu Immortal Temple seems to be hiding something. No matter what passage Jinlan digs, I can't leave from the Gu Immortal Temple.

The two servants entered the passage and came to the Gu Immortal Temple.

"Madam asked me to take you away."

Niandi nodded happily. She had been pretending very hard in front of the witch these past few days.

The witch always stays at the Gu Immortal Temple for a while. There is very little incense among the villagers these days, so the witch can only stay at the Gu Immortal Temple.

In order to hide her aura, Niandi hid in his body all day long.

At this time Niandi could finally leave the Gu Immortal Temple, and she followed the two servants to the passage behind the hall.

Before leaving, she turned and looked at me

"Do you want to come together?"

I still want to try to see if I can leave the Gu Immortal Temple.

When I flew to the passage, the light bounced me back to the Gu Immortal Temple again.

Niandi seemed to understand something and said to the two people: "No, we will be discovered soon, I will leave quickly."

After saying that, he entered the passage without looking back.

Watching Niandi leave, a bad feeling came over again.

Niandi and the two servants walked out of the passage quickly.

I just wanted to escape when I touched the formation set up by the witch again. She immediately felt that there was something wrong with the Gu Immortal Temple.

The witch stood up directly and said to Mrs. Sheng in front of her.
"Mrs. Sheng, I suddenly remembered something important. I'll take my leave first."

Jin Lan, who was sitting next to him, understood that it must be the witch who discovered what happened at the Gu Immortal Temple.

She stood up and held the wine glass.

"Miko, I have been taking care of you and the clan leader in the past few years. Now you have to leave for something, and we can't stop you. There will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future. If you still invite the miko to drink this glass of wine, just think that I am disrespectful to you before. I apologize to you."

Looking at the wine in front of her, the miko was anxious and without thinking, she picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The witch put down her wine glass and said, "The days are long, and I will definitely go to Shangli City to visit Mrs. Sheng in the future."

After saying goodbye, the miko hurriedly walked outside. When she reached the door, her body suddenly went limp, and she immediately held on to the wall on one side.

"There was something in the wine!"

The witch turned to look at Jinlan, and Jinlan looked at the witch and smiled.

The witch took out a silver needle and pricked her fingertips.

Jinlan just looked at the witch and forced the poison out of her body.

Jin Lan frowned slightly. After the witch calmed down for a while, she stood up and walked quickly outside.

Jin Lan looked at Mrs. Sheng, who nodded, and Jin Lan walked toward the back door.

Sure enough, Jin Lan saw the servant leading Nian Di and just entering the back door.

Jinlan immediately asked someone to hide Niandi in a large wooden box.

The witch came to the Gu Immortal Temple and saw that there was no trace of the Gu Immortal on the altar table. She clenched her fists tightly.

She turned around and looked at me floating in the air, "How did she escape?"

I looked at the passage to one side. The witch walked to the passage and got out of it.

The passage leads directly to the back wall of the Gu Immortal Temple. After the witch emerged from the Gu Immortal Temple, she shouted to the surroundings
"The Gu Immortal is missing——"

The witch knew that everyone in the village had gone to Mrs. Sheng's banquet, so she immediately ran back to Mrs. Sheng's banquet.

The witch stood at the door and shouted inside: "The Gu Immortal has escaped——"

The villagers who were having a banquet in the yard put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another when they heard the witch's words.

The patriarch shouted: "Seal the village - no one can leave without my order."

Mrs. Sheng stood up.

"Clan leader, I don't care about Gu Immortal matters. I have to leave the village today. Shangli City has made arrangements. I have to have dinner with the manager of Shangli City tonight." The leader looked at Mrs. Sheng and said: "Don't worry, Mrs. Sheng, we won't stop you, but we need to check the things you bring."

"The things I want to take away are all my belongings. How can they be turned over casually? Who do you think I am?"

The witch said: "The Gu Immortal is missing, we must find the Gu Immortal."

"It's your business to look for Gu Immortal. You haven't looked for it in the village yet. Now you want to check my belongings first?"

After hearing Jin Lan's words, the clan leader felt at a loss for a moment.

He said to the people in the village: "Everyone go to the village to search immediately and seal the village -"

The villagers left Mrs. Sheng's house one after another.

Looking at the lively home just now, it suddenly became quiet.

Jin Lan nodded to Mrs. Sheng, and Mrs. Sheng said: "Here comes! Clean up this place - let's go, let's set off -"

Jin Lan supported Mrs. Sheng and said, "Our carriage is right outside the door, mother, let's go!"

Jin La helped Mrs. Sheng and got into the carriage at the door.

Jin Lan whispered to Mrs. Sheng: "Brother Nian is in these carriages, mother, don't worry."

The carriage started slowly and drove outside.

Mrs. Sheng and her team of more than a dozen carriages drove toward the outskirts of the village.

The villagers all took action to look for Nian Di. They quickly checked the village and found no trace of Nian Di.

The witch led people to Mrs. Sheng's house. When she saw that Mrs. Sheng had left the village, she immediately led the people to chase her out of the village.

As soon as Mrs. Sheng reached the junction between the village and the outside world, she was stopped by the witch.

Jin Lan heard the witch coming to stop the carriage and asked someone to stop the carriage.

She got off the carriage and walked to Jin Lan.

The witch said to Jin Lan: "You can't leave now, the Gu Immortal is missing, we must find the Gu Immortal."

Jin Lan said: "What does the absence of the Gu Immortal have to do with us? I have already apologized to you, Witch. Please don't go too far."

"I'm just checking, nothing else."

"Of course not. These are my and my mother's belongings. How can I let you inspect them at will?"

The witch insisted not to let anyone leave, so all the servants around Jin Lan came over and blocked the villagers.

The group was at a stalemate.

The sound of horse hoofbeats was heard in the distance, and Jin Lan knew that Sheng Hongzhang had sent someone to pick them up.

The horse is getting closer.

The witch knew that any further delay would be very detrimental to them.

The witch shouted to the people around her: "Search for me."

Naturally, the villagers obeyed the witch and rushed towards the carriage.

Although Jinlan brought servants, he was still far behind the villagers.

Soon the villagers pushed the servant to the ground and rushed towards the carriage.

They quickly checked the carriage and opened the boxes on the carriage one by one.

The horse quickly came to the front of the motorcade. After seeing the person clearly, the miko couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Jin Lan wrote a letter early in the morning, worried that there would be problems on the road, and asked Sheng Hongzhang to send someone over at noon.

But Jin Lan didn't expect that the person who came was actually a government servant.

"Stop it all—"

When the yamen servant's voice came, the villagers stopped and got off the carriage.

Jin Lan walked to the Yamen servant and asked, "Is it my husband who asked you to come?"

"Exactly, Mr. Sheng is worried about the safety of Mrs. Sheng and his wife, so he asked us to come over and escort Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng to Sheng'an City."

The witch came over
"My lords, we are looking for the lost Gu Immortal in the village, please be lenient."
