The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 57 Don't refuse a toast and drink the penalty wine

You should have died, but something is keeping you alive.

When everyone heard this, they looked at Lang Jiuchuan in shock. Seeing her staring at Elder Ke, they couldn't help but look over as well.

There's nothing special about him, just a person. How did she know that?

Shen Qinghe thought too much. He heard that some people's health would be particularly poor because they saw things that others could not see. Could this be the reason why she was so weak?

Elder Ke was originally just wary of Lang Jiuchuan, but now after hearing her words, he no longer concealed his murderous intent.

She must die!

Elder Ke tucked his hands into his sleeves, pinched a bamboo flute the length of a finger bone hidden inside his sleeves, stared at Lang Jiuchuan and said, "I don't know what the young lady is talking about, but this is not the place for the young lady to come."

"It seems I was right!" Lang Jiuchuan smiled and glanced at his sleeve.

This man's face clearly showed that he was going to die a sudden death, and he should have died at a young age, but he lived to be considered a long-lived person. Someone must have extended his life, no, someone was hiding something from the world.

His fate was concealed and hidden from the King of Hell and the Judge of the Underworld, so no ghost messenger came to take his soul away.

This covers up...

It was quite a generous move, as he actually used the power of living people's wishes to avert disaster and prolong his life, which was equivalent to using the lifespan of ordinary people to add life to him so as to avoid the day of death. No wonder there was a faint white halo above his head, which was pure compassionate wish power, and must have been made sincerely by a pure and innocent person.

However, no matter how pure the compassionate wish is, it cannot outweigh the sins he has committed.

Is he worthy of the power of will to save his life?

Elder Ke's face was gloomy, and he said, "It seems that you all came to my daughter's village not as guests, but to cause trouble?"

He looked at Shen Qinghe and said, "Sir, last time you brought people to look for someone, we fully cooperated. I also said that they got lost in the mountains because they angered the mountain god. Including you, you all disturbed the mountain god's peace, which caused the accident and casualties. Isn't this lesson enough to alert you, sir?"

He slightly turned sideways, looked at the mountain deep in the valley, bowed, and said, "The sacred mountain is spiritual. If you disturb it again and again, you will have to pay the price. I advise you to leave quickly, don't refuse a toast and drink a penalty wine, and ask for trouble."

"Yes, go away quickly, we don't welcome you!" The women behind him screamed, their tone filled with hostility, anger, and vigilance.

Lang Jiuchuan smiled faintly: "The sacred mountain has spirits, shouldn't it be merciful? How could it let mortals disappear in the mountains? Could it be that this mountain god treats people differently, only protecting your daughter village and treating the outsiders as prey, oh no, as evil people?"

The beard on Elder Ke's mouth jumped and the veins on his forehead bulged, as if he was enduring something.

He was about to speak when Lang Jiuchuan said, "Don't be angry, Elder. I am young and uneducated. I speak without thinking. I don't mean any harm."

No malice, just venom!
Some of the guards laughed quietly.

Shen Qinghe's mouth twitched as well.

Lang Jiuchuan then said, "I heard that the mountain temple in the daughter village is very effective. Elder, do you think I can go and worship the god?"

Elder Ke narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you want to worship God?"

Lang Jiuchuan stepped forward and said, "Look at me, I am frail and weak. The doctors said I won't live long. It just so happens that Lord Shen is here to investigate the case, so I shamelessly followed him to worship the gods. Maybe the mountain god will wish me a long life!"

"You disturbed the mountain god. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the mountain god like the people before you?" Elder Ke stared at her.

"I am a rebellious person by nature. The more I am forbidden to do something, the more I want to do it. Will the elders stop me? Besides, if the mountain god is so stingy, what kind of god is he?"

Everyone: “…” Every word Miss Lang said hit the nail on the head.

Elder Ke gave an ambiguous smile and said, "Since you are not afraid, then go ahead."

Good advice is useless for a damned ghost. Since he wants to die, why should he stop him? So many young and strong people are just right to serve the mountain god.

Elder Ke turned around and walked inside. The women glared at them and hurriedly followed him.

Shen Qinghe watched them walk away and said to Lang Jiuchuan, "That temple is nothing special, just a cave. Do you really want to go there? How about you wait here and I'll take people over to take a look?"

"If I don't go, how can I know the true appearance of the mountain god? And if I don't go, this trip will be in vain. Don't worry, since I dare to take on this task, I have a plan in mind. Whether it is a human or a ghost, I will always take care of myself." Lang Jiuchuan looked at the large group of people in front of him and said, "There is no need for so many people to go. Just pick five or six people to follow."

She looked at the maid who followed her and said, "Aunt, don't follow me."

The maid cried out, "But the Madam wants me to serve the young lady, this..."

"No need, just wait outside with them. If anything happens above, they won't be able to take care of you."

Upon hearing this, the maid looked at Shen Qinghe, and seeing him nod, she had no choice but to obey.

Shen Qinghe began to select people, and he selected those who were skilled, calm, and smart, in case something unexpected happened and no one could respond in time.

Lang Jiuchuan walked around under the maple tree where the dead bones were buried, and stood under a tree root. His mind moved slightly, and he tapped with the judge's pen, drawing out three ghosts. Seeing that they were all young men with bewildered faces, their souls were almost fused with the maple tree, so he said, "Stay here, and I will come back to send you to the ghost gate to reincarnate. Before that, burn a stick of incense, and you guys protect this group of people for me first, and don't let the bad luck here confuse them."

After she finished speaking, she stood up, took her small bag from a guard, took out a box, and in full view of everyone, she took out a few sandalwood sticks, lit them, and stuck them under the tree.

The cigarettes came up one by one and burned quickly.

Everyone felt creepy and goosebumps when they saw Lang Jiuchuan's series of actions, as if something had come out from the ground.

What should I do if I suddenly feel a little eerie?
Who is she talking to? Is it these corpses? Otherwise, why would she be burning incense?

Everyone swallowed and looked at each other.

"Miss Lang, what are you doing?" Changgui asked bravely.

Lang Jiuchuan stood up and said, "You just stay under this tree. I have asked someone to look after you. Don't go anywhere else, lest you really startle the 'mountain god' and have an accident."

Everyone: “!”

Ask someone for help? It must be a ghost!

Girl, there is no need for you to protect them, it will only make them even more scared!

"Miss Lang, I can actually fight ten of you alone!" A guard named Luo Tian who was not picked to follow into the village said loudly, "I'm not trying to take credit or I'm afraid of anything. It's mainly because you are weak. I'll guard you from the side and make sure you don't get hurt at all."

Everyone: "?"

Luo Tian, you are usually a talker who doesn't say a word. When did you become smart and wise?

You bastard, you talk so fast.

Elder Ke, who had already walked far away, looked back at the scene with a sinister look in his eyes.
