Gu Immortal Returns

Chapter 42 The witch appears again and takes me away from the Gu Immortal Temple

My brother carried me to the old home of the Sheng family.

Seeing me coming back, the servants of the Sheng family rushed to report to Sheng Hongzhang.

Sheng Hongzhang came outside immediately and saw his brother holding me and walking towards the hall.

Sheng Hongzhang walked to his brother's side.

My body has begun to weaken and my face looks pale.

"Jinlan is back!"

Sheng Hongzhang nodded.

My brother carried me into the hall.

I asked Sheng Hongzhang to bring me a white mourning dress.

After dressing up, I knelt in the mourning hall of Mrs. Sheng.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Sheng Hongzhang couldn't control her tears anymore. She walked to me and held me tightly in her arms.

"Jinlan, mother is gone..."

My brother didn't come forward and could only watch.

"Husband, my mother is gone——"

When Sheng Hongzhang heard what I said, he immediately looked at me
"Jinlan, are you back?"

My vision started to become blurry, and I couldn't control my body anymore and I fainted.

The elder brother quickly walked to Sheng Hongzhang and said, "Let her go back to the Gu Immortal Temple, otherwise neither my sister nor Jinlan will be able to save her!"

Sheng Hongzhang was still immersed in Jinlan's voice just now

"Jinlan, you can't leave!"

"My sister is dying, Brother Sheng!"

Sheng Hongzhang hugged me tightly and cried loudly.

My brother walked up to Sheng Hongzhang, pulled me out of Sheng Hongzhang's arms, and ran outside quickly.

When I woke up again, I was already lying on the altar table in the Gu Immortal Temple.

My brother was sitting on the side, drowsy in front of the altar table.

I looked outside, and the sky was pitch black outside. As if I felt the death of Mrs. Sheng, my body could not control the tears and sadness.

I choked softly.

My brother heard the sound and came to my side

"Nan Xing, you wake up!"

"Brother, I feel so sad. Brother, Mrs. Sheng is gone..."

My brother held me in his arms and I cried loudly.

After dawn, the villagers learned that Mrs. Sheng had passed away, and they all came to Sheng's house to mourn her.

Sheng Hongzhang prepared meals at noon, and all the villagers stayed at Sheng's house to eat.

My brother is always by my side

"Brother, you'd better go to the Sheng family and have a look!"

My brother also knows that he was very cruel to Sheng Hongzhang when he brought me back yesterday, but now he can only care about my safety.

Now I'm fine. After my brother explained a few words, he went to Sheng's house again.

After Sheng Hongzhang saw his brother, he apologized to him.

The elder brother didn't say anything, but comforted Sheng Hongzhang and asked him to express his condolences.

My brother promised that when Sheng Hongzhang holds her funeral tomorrow, he will let me go to the Gu Immortal Temple to bury Mrs. Sheng.

Sheng Hongzhang looked at his brother with a grateful face.

The witch finally waited for the opportunity and saw the villagers gathering at the Sheng family's old house. She came to the sweet water well outside the village.

The villagers have lived on a sweet well outside the village for generations, and the water in the well is extremely sweet.

The witch took advantage of the darkness to come to the well and threw the drug she measured into the well water.

She hid aside and observed. The medicine was brought by the witch from outside the village. After taking it, people can be comatose for a day.

Noon is the time for cooking, especially for the Sheng family, because there are many villagers. The servants of the family have been coming to fetch water, and the rest of the villagers have come to the well to fetch water.

The witch hid aside with a sneer on her face
"Drink..."

Seeing people fetching water and returning to the village, the witch began to wait outside.

My brother, Sheng Hongzhang and the people in the village never thought that the witch would come and poison the water.

After my brother, Sheng Hongzhang, and the villagers finished lunch, they all began to feel drowsy. In the end, no one could bear the effects of the medicine and passed out.

I stood at the door of the Gu Immortal Temple, covering my aching heart.

Listening to the voices of the villagers outside, the surroundings suddenly became quiet after a while.

The whole village seemed to suddenly fall into deathly silence.I suddenly felt the breath of a miko.

I was so frightened that I entered the Gu Immortal Temple and closed the door of the Gu Immortal Temple.

"My dear Gu Immortal, I'm back!"

The miko's voice came from outside.

"Brother, I'm scared, brother--"

My body was leaning against the door, and I slowly walked aside as if I suddenly lost control.

The witch opened the door and entered the Gu Immortal Temple.

Although her appearance has changed, I clearly know that the woman in front of me is a miko.

She walked up to me and reached out her hand to caress my cheek.

"I didn't expect us to meet so soon! How about you, did you miss me during this time?"

My body has been controlled by the witch, I can't speak, and I can't escape.

"Don't worry, no one will come to save you, and no one will come to save you. This place is no longer suitable for us. Come with me!"

The witch took out a silver needle and pierced it into my body, sealing my breath.

I just followed the miko and walked straight outside.

Everyone in the whole village seemed to have left, and it was eerily quiet.

I was worried that the miko had really killed my brother and the others, but I couldn't say anything.

My brother and all the villagers slept until dawn.

The villagers woke up one after another, and no one knew what had happened.

My brother suddenly felt that I was in danger and immediately walked outside.

When my brother came to Gu Immortal Temple, I was gone.

"Nanxing-Nanxing..." my brother shouted and ran outside.

Sheng Hongzhang also knew that something must have happened, and immediately asked someone to find out what happened. Finally, Sheng Hongzhang found out that Shuiyuan had been drugged.

Sheng Hongzhang asked the villagers not to drink the well water and to fetch water from other places.

My brother chased me out of the village, but a day had passed and he couldn't catch up with me no matter what.

My brother returned to the village and wanted to ask the villagers who was not unconscious and who saw me being taken away?

I asked almost all the villagers, but no one could find out my whereabouts.

My brother has no choice but to wait for Feng Qing to come back and wonder if Feng Qing's senior brother can find me.

When it was time for Mrs. Sheng to be buried, her brother first helped Sheng Hongzhang to bury Mrs. Sheng.

That afternoon, all the villagers walked out of their homes to see Mrs. Sheng off for the last time.

Mrs. Sheng was buried in the ancestral grave of Poqiao Village on the top of the mountain. From then on, she stood on the top of the mountain and looked at Poqiao Village from a distance.

In the evening, Sheng Hongzhang and her brother were sitting in the old house of the Sheng family. Sheng Hongzhang had a sad expression on his face, and his brother also looked worried.

The two of them didn't know who was comforting the other for a moment, and they just sat there in silence.

Feng Qing and his senior brother Feng Yun rushed to Poqiao Village overnight. From the villagers' mouths, he learned that he was a step too late and that I had been taken away by the witch.

Feng Qing immediately rushed to the Sheng family's old house.

Seeing the depressed two people, Feng Qing also had a helpless expression.

When the elder brother saw Feng Qing coming back, he stood up and came to Feng Qing's side as if he was grasping at the last straw.

"Brother Fengqing, my sister was taken away by a witch."

"A villager just told me that I was late."

Geng Qing said to Feng Yun behind him: "This is Lu Nanchen. Brother Lu, this is my senior brother Feng Yun."

The elder brother looked at Feng Yun.

Feng Yun was not like Feng Qing, who had a familiar air, but he was dressed in white, had white hair, and looked like a fairy.

Feng Yun said to his brother: "Don't worry, I have a way to find your sister."

After hearing Feng Yun say there was a way, my brother immediately asked: "Tell me what to do!"

"Don't worry, I need to go to the village to take a look now."

The elder brother immediately agreed and took Fengyun to the village for a tour, and then took his elder brother to the Gu Immortal Temple.

Looking at the Gu Immortal Temple, Fengyun said: "I really didn't expect that there are still people who are actually refining Gu Immortal nowadays. This person must be found, otherwise it will cause chaos."

Feng Yun said to his brother and Feng Qing: "I am going to use the method of searching for people to find the whereabouts of Lu Nanxing."

My brother took out the handkerchief I used during this period. He washed it for me and kept it when I was taken away.

Fengyun said: "We are going to the witch's house now. I want to go to the witch's house to take a look."

"Senior brother, I went to see her before and she didn't leave anything useful."

Feng Qing still brought Feng Yun to the witch's house.
