CH 127

After Tang Yu joined the team, the team walked for a long time and asked many people before they found the Crimson Ghost King.

The sky also entered the night.

“Ah Nu, Yue Ru, why don’t we not go today? Let’s go back to White River Village to rest for a night and come back tomorrow?”

Looking at the dark forest ahead, Zhao Linger said with great caution. Her master said that the most important thing to travel in the Jianghu was stability!

Since they had already confirmed that the enemy was the Skeleton General and the Crimson Ghost King, they might as well wait until noon when the time was the hottest and the Yang energy was the most abundant. What if something happened at night?

“Don’t be afraid. With Ah Nu and Tang Yu here, I won’t let anything happen to you, Princess!”

With Tang Yu joining the team, Ah Nu’s courage increased by quite a bit, and he led the way aggressively into the forest.

Ling’er, Yue Ru, and Tang Yu looked at each other helplessly and could only follow Ah Nu closely.

In the eerie forest, one could faintly hear some strange cries… It sounded like a wolf howling, but also like a ghost… The four of them gathered together and carefully walked forward…

“Ow! —“

Suddenly, a dense crowd appeared in front of them. Their eyes were blood red, and their limbs were stiff as they surrounded the crowd.

Ah Nu, who had long thrown the Gu worm out to sense the surroundings, frowned. The situation of these people was not right. There was blood flowing in their bodies, but the speed of flowing was several times lower than normal people! —

“Princess, be careful, these people have been poisoned by the corpse! —No sense of touch, no pain, only until dawn can they regain their senses! —“

“Then what should we do?”

Hearing that they could regain their senses, Ling’er, who was holding the Thunder Curse and the rockfall Curse, quickly restrained her spiritual power… Although she was not a saint, she was not a cold-blooded person who watched countless people die in front of her.

Not to mention, these people were simply the villagers of White River Village!

“We can only defend. We will look for a way to cure the poison in the morning!”

Ah Nu thought for a moment, but she could not find a solution immediately. She had to remind everyone to be careful of defense. “Do not get scratched, or you will be infected with the corpse poison!”

No, this place is too open. We can’t defend it! —I have learned the Imperial Sword Technique,

Let’s fly back to White River Village first! —

Lin Yueru looked at the increasing number of villagers. They couldn’t kill them, and they couldn’t guard against them either… After thinking about it, it seemed that she could only try using the Imperial Sword Technique that she had studied for a few days!

“Then hurry up, we’ll try our best to stall for time for you! —“

Tang Yu waved the longsword in his hand, covering his right and left arms… On both sides, there was also the rain protection shield that Ah Nu and Ling’er were holding up, giving Lin Yueru time with all their might.

In other words, these villagers were mortals. If they were people with cultivation, their defensive formation would have collapsed long ago!

“Mount Shu Sword Control Art! —Sword flight! —“

Lin Yueru threw her sword away, and the spirit power in her body circulated. After a moment, the sword suddenly grew several times larger and floated in front of Lin Yueru.

“Sword flight! —“

Lin Yueru was the first to jump up, her hands forming sword fingers. The moment Ah Nu and Ling’er jumped up, she controlled her longsword to fly upwards… Tang Yu, on the other hand, stood up behind the three girls. Using all his strength, he sent out a stream of sword qi, forcing the corpses to retreat. With a leap, he grabbed Ah Nu’s little hand!

“Imperial Sword Technique! —“

The longsword tore through the air, leaving behind thousands of zombies that had yet to completely transform, howling…

…………….

After returning to White River Village, they finally found a room to stay in for the night. When they woke up the next day, the four of them looked at the countless villagers who had returned from outside, their backs covered in cold sweat.

Sure enough, the zombies last night were all the villagers!

“I heard that the reason why White River Village can exist is not only because of Doctor Han, but also because of Jade Buddha Temple…”

“Jade Buddha Temple? Shouldn’t they go to Suzhou government for help?”

Ling’er asked strangely.

With the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, they had long since abandoned temples, Taoist temples, and other such things. Now, most of the gods they worshipped were Nuwa, the Three Emperors, and others who had brought merits to the human race.

A temple? Or a temple that could suppress corpse poison? Ling’er was immediately very interested!

“Yes, they said that they had asked for help from the government, but the government ignored them… Oh right, they went to Suzhou to ask for help.” Ah Nu pouted and said discontentedly, “It seems that your Tang Dynasty is no different from Nan Zhao. The government is a vegetarian, and saving people depends on our Bai Miao!”

“Ling’er?”

Yue Ru looked at her teasingly. Ling’er was recognized as the prime minister candidate of the Tang Dynasty, and Ah Nu’s words were like a slap on Ling’er’s face.

“Nonsense! They have never been to the Suzhou government office! I have never heard of White River Village at the government office!”

Zhao Ling-er’s face was red as she roared at Ah Nu! Usually, Ling’er could be said to be as calm as an official. She rarely had any emotional fluctuations. For this reason, Yue Ru even laughed at her for being an old man. This was the first time she had revealed the character of a child.

Furious, Zhao Ling-er pulled Yue Ru towards the Jade Buddha Temple that Ah Nu had mentioned. As they walked, they did not forget to prove to the government.

“I want to see what kind of temple it is that actually dares to hold the Tang Dynasty and slander officials!”

Behind him, Ah Nu looked at Tang Yu, somewhat at a loss. “Tang Yu, did I say something wrong? Princess, you seem very angry…”

Ah Nu did not know Zhao Ling-er’s position in the Tang Dynasty. Tang Yu had heard many things from his foster father… after all, Hao Yun had never concealed Ling’er’s existence. It was just that the Moon Worshipping Cult had grown stronger over the years, and Shi Gonghu, the Sage Nun, and the others were almost unable to hold on any longer, so they had no choice but to come find Ling’er.

Otherwise, they really wanted Ling’er to learn more knowledge in the Tang Dynasty!

Looking at Ah Nu’s expression, which he did not know why, Tang Yu rubbed Ah Nu’s hair. “It’s not Ah Nu’s fault. The Tang Dynasty government is very powerful. The Princess is also interning there. Someone is lying to Ah Nu, so the Princess is angry.”

“Hmph! Ah Nu is going to beat that scoundrel who lied to Ah Nu to death!”

“No, the villagers are right. The one who is wrong is the Jade Buddha Temple that confuses people! If Ah Nu wants to take revenge, go with the Princess!”

After saying this, Tang Yu, who knew Ah Nu’s temperament well, did not waste any more time and pulled her to follow Ling’er.

At the foot of Jade Buddha Mountain, Ling’er took the initiative to stop as soon as she stepped into the range of Jade Buddha Temple.

“Ling’er?”

Yue Ru, Ah Nu, and Tang Yu hurriedly surrounded them, all of them revealing defensive stances!

“Be careful, I have a bad feeling about this.”

Ling’er cast a Cleansing Clothes Spell, Vajra Spell, and other immortal arts to dispel abnormal forms in fear, indicating everyone to be careful.

“Ah Nu, use a Gu worm to test the temple ahead!”

Tang Yu’s expression changed. Seeing Ling’er’s extremely cautious actions, he hurriedly had Ah Nu use a Gu worm to test her.

“Good! Probing Gu!”

Ah Nu waved his small hand, and a black light invisible to the naked eye entered the temple… a second later, Ah Nu’s body shook violently, and blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth…

“Princess, quickly retreat! There is an ambush!”
