After becoming a real daughter, the copy of the evil god followed him

Chapter 229: It’s useless if you don’t use it

"That's right, why do we have to choose a woman? I think you are a good choice. You are going to be a sacrifice anyway, not a real wife for the gods." The speaker was a middle-aged woman. She seemed to have been enduring for a long time. The kick just now was caused by her.

As the woman spoke, voices of agreement rang out from the crowd.

All the women present could not help but speak, and the surroundings immediately fell into chaos.

In the midst of this chaos, the middle-aged man who had just been kicked down stood up silently from the ground.

There was anger in his eyes, especially when he touched the wound on his neck, his anger suddenly became even greater.

He picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the middle-aged woman.

"You bitch, it's your turn to teach me a lesson. I'll beat you to death!"

The stone was about to hit the woman on the head, but it stopped at the moment it was about to reach the woman.

Then the stone changed direction and hit the middle-aged man directly on the head.

The middle-aged man immediately lay on the ground, covering his wounds and wailing.

Lu Yao didn't plan to watch the villagers quarreling anymore. She restrained everyone by force and said to the leading villager: "I can help you, but only if you cooperate."

This kind of thing would not happen in the village for no reason. As for the reason, Lu Yao was also a little curious.

Logically speaking, there was no reason for her to get involved in all this since she was looking for Xing Yuan and the things he left behind in this copy world. However, this was a copy world, and there were no plots without reason. Since there were such plot points, it was very likely that they were related to what she was looking for.

When the villagers saw that Lu Yao was willing to help, they agreed after some hesitation.

As for the Taoist priest, considering that he was not completely useless, Lu Yao directly pulled him along.

Maybe I can even help her, it would be a waste if I don't use it.

Because it was daytime, Lu Yao chose to go and see the elderly and children who had returned after being missing.

The Taoist took Lu Yao to one of the families. It was said that the old man in the family had been terminally ill and was about to die, but he suddenly disappeared that night. When he came back, he was well again and even looked younger.

"It's here. The family was worried that something might happen to the old man, so they kept him locked up." The Taoist priest pointed to the house opposite. It was said that the old man had been locked up in the house.

As soon as Lu Yao walked in, he smelled the salty and humid air.

The Taoist priest obviously also smelled the odor, but in his opinion, the smell was no different from stinky salted fish. "Oh, don't be so polite. There is nothing good in this village. It must be the salted fish that his family hung out to dry."

Lu Yao said nothing and continued walking forward.

The door was quickly pushed open, and the hostess of the house stood aside with her head down, not saying a word.

As for the male owner of the house, he seemed to be hesitant to speak. It seemed that he remembered the middle-aged man who was beaten before and chose to shut up.

The moment the door opened, a strong, salty and humid smell suddenly hit me.

Lu Yao frowned because of being choked.

She tried to look into the room and saw an old lady sitting on a recliner inside.

Her hair was gray, her face was full of wrinkles, and she was skinny, but her eyes were very bright.

She turned her head to look outside the door, and met Lu Yao's gaze.

The moment Lu Yao looked at her, he saw a pair of slightly cold eyes.

"Mom, this is... the new master invited to the village. She wants to ask you about the previous disappearance." The male protagonist at the side spoke, but he did not look at the old lady. Instead, he turned his head to the side, as if he did not dare to look her in the eye.

"Oh, I see." The old lady slowly sat up from the recliner, "What are you doing standing outside? Come in and sit down and talk." The old lady stood up and greeted Lu Yao and the other two warmly.

"This master looks familiar. He must have been here before, right?" The old lady looked at the Taoist priest behind Lu Yao.

Her voice was calm, just like that of a kind elder.

The Taoist priest was suddenly asked and nodded, saying that he had indeed been here a few days ago.

Seeing this, the old lady's son and daughter-in-law outside the door subconsciously wanted to leave.

"Master, you guys chat. We still have work to do, so we'll go get busy first." The man said and without waiting for others to react, he pulled his wife away.

Lu Yao turned around and glanced at the two of them. Without saying anything, he walked in with the Taoist priest.

The moment he stepped into the room, the strong salty and humid smell became more obvious, and the Taoist couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose. However, Lu Yao looked normal and there was no sign of discomfort at all.

She walked in and sat down opposite the old lady.

“Master, feel free to ask whatever you want to know.” The old lady spoke, but her eyes seemed to be secretly observing Lu Yao.

"Old man, do you really not remember what happened during the time you were missing?" Lu Yao asked directly.

The old lady had just said that she had met the Taoist priest, so the Taoist priest should have asked some of these questions before. Lu Yao chose to ask these questions, firstly to test whether the Taoist priest was hiding anything, and secondly to observe the old lady's reaction.

As soon as Lu Yao finished speaking, the old lady in front of him frowned immediately.

She put her hand on her forehead, looking thoughtful. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I don't remember anything. My health was too poor before, and I don't know where I went. But I heard from my boy that I was probably captured by the monster in this mountain."

As for why the old lady had such changes after she came back, no one knew.

Lu Yao stared at the old lady, but after listening to what she said, he was not in a hurry to ask the next question.

The Taoist priest was sitting next to Lu Yao. He seemed unable to bear the smell here and tried to stand up and leave several times.

But since Lu Yao was still here, he certainly didn't dare to act rashly. He could only try to reduce his presence as much as possible, speak less and breathe less.

The Taoist priest just watched Lu Yao and the old lady look at each other in silence for five minutes.

Five minutes later, Lu Yao suddenly stood up as if he had given up.

She smiled at the old lady and held out her hand. "In that case, I'm sorry to bother you."

Lu Yao stretched his hand into the air. The old lady hesitated for a moment, then actually stretched out her hand and shook hands with Lu Yao.

But at the moment the old lady held Lu Yao's hand, the expression on her face suddenly changed.

In just a moment, the old lady who had a kind face just now suddenly had a distorted expression. She opened her mouth and wanted to shout, but no sound came out.

Lu Yao grasped her hand tightly and then pulled her towards him.

Then a piece of talisman paper was quickly thrown out from Lu Yao's hand and fell on the old lady's forehead.

Lu Yao's series of movements were smooth, clean and neat, leaving the Taoist priest standing by stunned.

It was not until the old lady was immobilized by the talisman that he vaguely caught a glimpse of something drawn on the palm of the hand that Lu Yao was holding with the old lady.

So when did she draw the rune on her palm?

Before the Taoist priest had time to digest all this, he saw the old lady opposite him suddenly changed her appearance.

Cracks suddenly appeared on her wrinkled face, as if something was trying to get out of her body.
