The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 71 Why is the person missing again?
Gu Qingyin was packing up when Huo Zhaohua and the other two arrived late.

In fact, they were not that slow. It was just that when they walked nearby just now, they couldn't get in for some reason. It seemed like there was suddenly an air wall in front of them, and they couldn't get through no matter how hard they walked.

Gu Qingyin had already sealed up the flesh and blood of the Candle Dragon underground with talismans and was struggling to put it into her bag. When she saw them, she was like seeing her family. She waved her hands with emotion, "Come and help me, I'm dying of exhaustion!"

The three of them no longer had any opinions of their own in this strange place. They just did whatever Gu Qingyin told them to do without any problem. They just had to be obedient.

but……

Tian Gang was puzzled. Could such a small bag really fit such a thick and long tail? If stretched straight, the tail would be about 1.7 meters long, right?
Shan Zhu also thinks it is unscientific, but she has encountered more than one or two unscientific things along the way. Now she has become accustomed to it. She will be puzzled but will no longer question it.

As a member of the Huo family, even if he was a branch, Huo Zhaohua had some knowledge of metaphysics. He guessed that Gu Qingyin's bag should be a magical instrument, and there was probably a mustard seed space inside, which could hold a lot of things.

The facts were almost the same as Huo Zhaohua's guess, the only difference was the area of the shoulder bag.

This bag can hold 50 cubic meters of things, but... over the years, Gu Qingyin stuffed everything she saw into it, and it hasn't been cleaned for many years, so the remaining space is really limited.

The last time I put the cursed doll in, I had to force it in. This time, it’s really a bit difficult to force the Zhulong tail.

Fortunately, this shoulder bag has no self-awareness, otherwise it would have vomited all over Gu Qingyin’s face. He forced her to eat even though she couldn’t eat anymore. Did he ever think about how the bag felt?
Gu Qingyin didn't know why she was so sure that the bag was not full. Even if it was, she could squeeze it in.

Just like that, four people, two of them pulled the mouth of the bag, and two of them cooperated to stuff it in. After a lot of effort, they finally managed to push the Zhulong tail in!

Gu Qingyin put on her backpack with great satisfaction and clapped her hands, "Okay, we can go out now!"

Huo Zhaohua was delighted and stood up to carry Lin Xiaoyun on his back. He had already asked about it when he was stuffing things into the bag. His mother was not seriously injured, she just fainted. She was probably frightened and would be fine after recuperating outside.

But as soon as he turned around, Huo Zhaohua's eyes, which had just been filled with smile, froze.

"Fuck! How come the person disappeared again!" Tian Gang couldn't help but yelled, and seemed a little overwhelmed.

Shan Zhu stared at the open space with his whole body tense, and instinctively thought that it was impossible for the people to leave by themselves after waking up, so someone or something must have come and taken them away quietly, and they didn't notice at all.

Was it because I was too focused when I was stuffing my things in? Or was it...

Shan Zhu shuddered suddenly and didn't dare to think about it anymore. She looked at Gu Qingyin and asked with a dry throat: "Did you notice it?"

Gu Qingyin was also staring at that place in deep thought. Hearing this, she looked at her in surprise and said, "If I had noticed it, they wouldn't have been taken away." It was indeed her fault for taking it for granted.

She thought that in order for Zhulong to recuperate here, he must have eliminated all the dangers around him, so he was only concerned with collecting the spoils and forgot to take care of the "hostages".

Now it seems that there should be one or even several beings in the barrier whose strength is slightly weaker than Zhulong, and they all live in peace with each other. Now that Zhulong is gone, those beings have the courage to show up.

Since we don’t know what these things are specifically—and because Gu Qingyin had taken a quick look when she came in before and found that there were actually no ghosts in this place—we will just call them natives for now.

These natives have been vegetarians for who knows how many years, and now they probably want to eat something new.

Gu Qingyin understood, but she couldn't figure out what could have taken away three living people so close to her without alarming her at all.

In fact, she didn't notice anything was wrong until Huo Zhaohua's aura changed.

"Can we find them again?" Huo Zhaohua's voice was tense and trembling, and he clenched his fists to stay calm. He looked at Gu Qingyin with an unconscious pleading look. Gu Qingyin pulled the corner of her lips, "We can find them." This time, without Zhulong's interference with time and space, finding people would be faster.

The most important thing is that the amulet she gave to Huo Xinghai was activated, proving that he had been in life-threatening danger before, but was blocked by the amulet.

In this place filled with evil energy, the activated amulet was like a spotlight on the stage, so conspicuous that it was blinding.

"Is the talisman I gave you still there?" Gu Qingyin asked.

The three of them quickly lowered their heads and searched their pockets, and after finding the money, they held it tightly, trying to gain a little sense of security from it.

Gu Qingyin originally wanted to see if the talisman could hold until they left the barrier, but the three of them held it so tightly that there was no gap at all. She rolled her eyes speechlessly, and with a look of reluctance, she took out three more folded talismans.

"For the sake of your help just now." Gu Qingyin muttered as she sent out the talisman, "Otherwise I'll charge you fifty each."

Tian Gang happily took the talisman, feeling safe enough, and sighed, "Such a powerful talisman is only sold for fifty, Master Gu, you are too conscientious."

Gu Qingyin chuckled, "Fifty, ten thousand."

Tian Gang fell silent instantly, and changed from holding the talisman tightly in one hand to holding it reverently in front of his chest with both hands. It is no exaggeration to say that these two talismans are the most expensive things he has ever owned except for the house in his life.

Shan Zhu was also shocked. She thought to herself that being a Taoist priest was really profitable and had more prospects than being a doctor.

After completing the preparations, Gu Qingyin led the three of them straight towards the "spotlight".

In fact, the distance was not that far, only about a hundred meters or so, in a relatively dense forest.

The closer they got, the stronger the presence of the "spotlight" became, and the more alert Gu Qingyin became. Because up to now, she still didn't notice anything wrong.

It couldn't be that the natives found that the amulet was difficult to deal with, so they simply abandoned Huo Xinghai and moved to another position with two easier ones, right?

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyin paused, it seemed that it was not impossible.

People who have been hungry for a long time and are anxious to eat will definitely eat the things that are easier to eat first, and those with shells that are difficult to open will definitely be put last.

Now, Huo Xinghai is the one with the "shell".

But even if the food is difficult to open, it cannot be thrown away easily. After all, it is hard to come by and you never know when you will get it again.

Therefore, the natives should still be around Huo Xinghai. They should be eating the tasty ones while figuring out how to open the shells.

Gu Qingyin raised her hand, signaling the three people behind her to stop, and then she took out the fire stick again and quietly approached the "spotlight".

Coincidentally, she saw Huo Xinghai first, and then she looked up and met the eyes of a native not far in front of Huo Xinghai without any preparation.

In an instant, both sides retreated slightly.

Obviously, they were all scared.
