Chapter 762: The Heart of the Fetal God (Twenty-Eight) (Two in One)

The woman was forced to stay in their yurt.

Speaking of her name, it is called "Dewdrop".

Liu Sheng thought silently, this name is simple.

As if she had seen through everyone's silence, Lu Zhuer whispered, "My name is a little simple..."

As she spoke, she gave a bitter smile.

"I was born in the early morning. My father saw dew on the grass when he went out, so he gave me this name."

Yueya couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"My name is also simple."

"Yes, I remember, it's because of Crescent Lake." Dan Jin nodded.

"What's your name?" Yueya suddenly asked.

"My name was given by my mother. She once read a book in which the master had this name. I don't know what the two characters are, but at least they sound the same." Dan Jin said with his eyes lowered.

"Your mother can actually read?" Yueya asked in surprise.

"My mother was raised by my grandmother. When my grandmother was in the Tang Kingdom, she went to school and even studied in an academy." Dan Jin answered softly.

"Academy?" Yueya blinked. "What's the difference between it and a school?"

"National Academy, right?"

Liu Sheng suddenly spoke.

In a baby voice.

You can't appear too mature in front of outsiders.

Dan Jin nodded, a little surprised: "Yes, that's right! It seems to be this name!"

Lu Zhuer had never heard of this before, and showed an envious look: "Girls from Tang Country can also go to school, it's really unimaginable in the past... With such a mother, no wonder Miss Liu is so different."

"But your mother didn't teach you to read?"

Yueya was a little confused, because she had seen adults teaching Danjin to read.

"Because... my mother taught the children in the neighborhood to read without permission, and was punished." Dan Jin lowered her eyes and quietly stirred the highland barley porridge in the pot. "She lost her tongue, and her hands."

As soon as these words came out, the yurt suddenly became quiet.

Only the gurgling sound of the barley porridge in the pot continued to boil.

……

As night fell, thick black fog rose outside again.

Those people finally retreated.

It seems that for them, the black fog is still an insurmountable fear.

However, in this darkness, someone moved quietly, took advantage of this brief gap, crossed the black fog, and walked out of the yurt.

Liu Sheng saw in the video that those figures were wearing hoods and coats, shivering in the cold black fog.

Only then was Yueya welcomed into the house.

As soon as they entered the room and took off their hoods, they saw that the people leading the group were Yunniang, Ajiao and Nawang, and there were several unfamiliar women behind them.

Yunniang saw Luzhuer here and smiled in surprise: "I didn't expect someone to be here earlier than us."

"Why are you here?" Yueya asked in surprise.

"Now they are just like wood. They don't care what I do. This is a good opportunity." Nawang waved his hand and said.

Dan Jin raised his eyebrows: "Good opportunity?"

"Of course we are running away!" Yunniang said as if it was a matter of course. "We have prepared the carriage and fed you with grass. You can run away in the carriage..."

"Aren't you afraid... that this will bring disaster to Bai Village?" Dan Jin remembered what Ba said.

This sentence caused a burst of laughter.

"If there really was a disaster in the world, it would have come long ago. Otherwise, why would life be so hard?" A Jiao said with her head down.

The other women were also silent.

In this land, Liu Sheng was probably the only one who didn't know what kind of life they lived. Danjin and Yueya didn't want to talk much, but from what they mentioned about their mother and what they saw in the village, Liu Sheng could vaguely guess something.

Since others remained silent about their pain, Liu Sheng had no intention of prying too much into the matter.

But now seeing that they are not afraid of the black fog and are crossing the village just to send them out, it can be seen what kind of attitude they have in their hearts.

Yunniang said casually: "Seeing you live so freely and accomplish so many things that they can't do, we are also happy. If you can escape, it will be as if we escape with you."

At this time, A Jiao, who had lowered her head, suddenly raised her head: "I want to leave, too. If you can, please take me with you!"

"Ajiao, are you crazy?" Yunniang's eyes widened. "Have you forgotten your..."

Ajiao's face turned pale and she subconsciously covered her neck.

Then she shook her head: "I'm not afraid. I don't want to be afraid anymore."

However, another woman also said loudly: "I want to go too, let's go together!"

Na Wang kept staring at Liu Sheng, and finally couldn't help but said, "I want to go too."

"You are all crazy..." Yunniang said in disbelief.

Na Wang looked at Yun Niang and murmured, "Maybe... I should have gone crazy a long time ago. Is there any hope here?"

"Are we hoping that one day we will give birth to a spirit fetus, and that our luck will change from then on?" Na Wang's eyes gradually filled with tears. "No, this is not our hope! It's only the hope of that spirit fetus!"

"It would be nice if I could just reincarnate..."

At this moment, a woman who had been looking down and chewing her fingers said something softly.

"What?" Everyone asked as they couldn't hear clearly.

Liu Sheng noticed that her fingers were covered in blood and her nails had been bitten to very short.

As everyone's attention shifted, the woman quickly hid her fingers under her sleeves.

"They keep saying that reincarnation will be enough... is that true?" She said slowly, "Is that really the case? Why should we place our hopes on the afterlife instead of this life?"

"No matter what, I don't want to continue living like this! Even if I have nowhere to go in this cold night, I don't want to..."

The woman kept shaking her head, tears streaming down her face.

She looked at Danjin and Yueya pleadingly, "You have abilities, you can grow things, and you can walk in the dark. I'm sure there's a way to survive if I follow you!"

"Even if you live for one day, you live."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Her words seemed to hit everyone's heart.

However, at this time, Dew, who had been hiding behind the crescent moon, timidly shook her head and said, "I can't get out."

Yunniang was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Bai Village is surrounded by black fog." Dewdrop whispered.

The women gasped.

Then Luzhuer repeated what she had said before.

Everyone could only sigh, despair welling up in their hearts.

The woman who was biting her fingers began to bite her fingertips unconsciously again, and blood slid down between her fingers.

Yunniang suppressed her panic and managed to calm down: "I can't escape now, but I have to find a way. I can't just let them bully me."

At this moment, Dan Jin, who was sitting dejectedly beside him, was suddenly shocked, as if he heard something, and suddenly stood up.

She quietly glanced at Liu Sheng, who was sitting nearby and scribbling on his clothes, coughed lightly, and said, "Actually..."

Everyone immediately focused their attention on her.

"We have already thought of a countermeasure." Dan Jin said seriously.

Yueya was slightly stunned. As "us", this was the first time she heard this news.

Yunniang asked anxiously, "How?"

"I have a question. How many people can you mobilize to participate in this?" Dan Jin asked in a deep voice.

"As far as I know..." Yunniang raised her lips, "They are all willing to help you. You can rest assured about this."

……

In the early morning, when the black fog gradually dissipated, the women who had spent the night in the yurt put on their coats, put on their hoods, and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the curtain in the middle of the yurt was lifted, and Danjin, who was resting inside with his sister, came out neatly dressed, carrying a backpack behind him, which was bulging with something.

"Let's go. I'll take you out." Dan Jin said.

The women waved their hands and said no, "It's just a short distance. If we can walk here, we can walk back."

“Besides, Miss Liu, if they find out that you’re out… I’m afraid the three-day appointment will be…” Yunniang said with a frown.

Dan Jin smiled and said, "Be careful. I can walk in the black fog and I can protect you."

"Besides, there are things I need to go to the village to ask for everyone's help! I'll be back before dawn."

Since Miss Liu said so, they had nothing more to say and followed Dan Jin out of the yurt.

The only thing left in the yurt was Crescent Moon, staring at something in a trance.

There was also Liu Sheng who yawned to show his presence.

Yueya was startled when she saw the adult's small figure walking out. She pointed at the door curtain and asked, "Auntie, you... why are you still here? I thought it was you in the backpack..."

Liu Sheng shook his head: "Those were other things. They took me the whole night and really exhausted me."

She stretched herself lazily with a tired look on her face, and turned to Yueya and said:

"Your walking stick should be a magical weapon, right?"

Yueya subconsciously tightened her grip on the ancient cane, then nodded: "Yes, this is the magic weapon that my father collected with great difficulty. It was made by the master on the snowy mountain and left to me for self-defense."

"Give it to me. I'll see how powerful it is and whether I need you to modify it."

Yueya was slightly stunned, then extremely surprised, and quickly handed the crutch to Liu Sheng.

"Also, it's time for you to break through." Liu Sheng's eyes passed through her and fell on the red shadow who was still kowtowing in the corner.

Yueya's heart was shocked.

So it wasn't just her illusion?

I always thought that only I could see it, but I didn't expect that adults could see it too.

When Danjin came back, he saw Yueya wrapped in a quilt so tightly that even her head and face could not be seen. It seemed that she had fallen asleep.

"Yueya...what's wrong?" Dan Jin asked softly.

Liu Sheng was taking the cane apart and carefully studying the patterns inside. He replied casually, "She is making a breakthrough. Don't worry. Just don't get close."

"Oh."

Dan Jin nodded, put down the empty backpack, and said to Liu Sheng, "I have finished sending out the gifts."

"You all accepted it?"

"I went through the windows of every household to ask, and most of them were willing to do so," Danjin said. "Speaking of which, it's really strange that those people... just sat there in the lower sheepfold in a daze."

Liu Sheng sighed and shook his head.

"Also, I went to the mountainside to check, and it's true that we can't get out, but the black fog... is a little strange, and it's different from what we saw on the road."

Liu Sheng said in a deep voice: "Because, that is not the black fog formed in the cold night, but man-made."

Even "Mom" couldn't sense any change in the concentration of the strange energy in Baicun, which meant that it wasn't really the cold night that was coming, but...

"Man-made?" Dan Jin's heart shuddered, and he took a breath of cold air. "So those things at night that make people lose their direction and the distance fluctuates are also caused by this?"

"It's not ruled out." Liu Sheng nodded, and added, "It should be a large-scale magic circle, but it makes people afraid to go out, in order to cover up the real action."

Dan Jin frowned: "If I had known, I would not have come to Baicun..."

Liu Sheng smiled slightly and said calmly: "Didn't you also say that as long as the world remains the same, such things will always exist? At least, they didn't dare to do it openly before..."

"But now, I can't hold it back anymore." Dan Jin murmured in a low voice.

"So you also need to break through." Liu Sheng said.

She put down the carving knife in her hand, took out a patchwork mat from the side, and said, "I added a spirit gathering array to this mat. Sit on it and practice."

Dan Jin looked at the cushion embroidered with patterns. It looked ordinary, but she knew it must be a treasure, and a warm feeling rose in her heart.

"Thank you, sir!"

Dan Jin hurriedly sat on it and immediately felt a much more powerful spiritual energy pouring into his body.

There seemed to be another force, which was transmitted from the small tentacle on her heart and flowed into her body.

Dan Jin knew that this was a gift from the adults, so he quickly focused his mind on cultivation, not daring to waste even a single moment.

The second day passed in cultivation.

The village was also peaceful, except for the villagers who came out in the sunlight who were still standing at the door.

The third day was not so peaceful.

There were more and more people at the door, and their appearances were getting weirder and weirder every day - horns had already broken out from their foreheads, and tiny strands of snow-white hair had grown on their faces.

The face under the white hair was pitch black.

Their expressions were filled with rage and twisted madness.

"Sin! Sin!"

"We can't get out! We are shrouded in the cold night!"

"This is a punishment from the fetal god!"

"Their sins can finally be hidden!"

“No wonder they can grow things and find sheep, because everything is because of them!”

“It’s all because of them!”

“It’s all because of them!”

It seems that they also know about the matter that cannot be separated from Baicun.

Although it was not yet dark, the blue sky above our heads had gradually turned into the orange color of the sunset, and the deep purple at the edges was spreading up and swallowing up the orange bit by bit.

It was like there was a huge mouth in the sky, swallowing up the remaining light.

And the snow-capped mountains are no longer visible.

The black fog was like a high wall, surrounding Baicun.

In this thick darkness, a little bit of starlight spread from all directions, and many people held torches and surrounded the place.

"They said they would give us three days, but you can't wait any longer?" Dan Jin said loudly.

And those who had gradually become sheep shouted together: "It is the third day."

"It's the third day..."

"It's the third day..."

"it's time……"

"it's time……"

"Yes……"

Amid the repetitive murmuring, a group of sheep-headed men were walking towards the yurt, holding red items in their hands.

When they stepped to the door of the yurt, a faint light flashed by, causing them to pause for a moment. But as a flash of blood passed through their bodies, breaking through the layer of light, they actually broke through to the door of the yurt.

Just as they were about to break through the curtain, a blood-red vine suddenly shot out, accompanied by a lightning whip, and knocked those people to the ground. The red boxes in their hands scattered, and the bright red crowns, clothes, and jewelry fell to the ground.

These things look extremely bright, but they have a layer of blood-red that never fades, and I don’t know how many times they have lain in a pool of blood.

"These are all gifts from the master. How dare you let down the master's kindness?"

A cold voice suddenly sounded.

The old village chief finally showed up.

At this time, he was no longer the old man who relied on crutches. His body had become stronger and there was no sign of lameness.

At first glance, it was an old goat standing on two legs, and the two feet exposed from the trouser legs had already turned into hooves.

"If you think it's so good, why don't you take it?"

As Yueya's angry words fell, a cold light shot out with an unstoppable momentum.

The old village chief didn't have time to react and barely dodged in a hurry, but the cold light still flashed across his dark face and blood splattered out instantly.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp sound of lightning was heard in the air, and a ball of lightning shot out from the yurt with destructive power.

The old village chief had no way to avoid it.

With a loud bang, all the sheep around him were blown to pieces. Their snow-white fur turned black in an instant, and they all fell to the ground, unable to move.

The entire area suddenly fell into silence, with only scorched earth and splattered blood remaining.

Note:
Tenjin is named after Tenzin Palmo, a Buddhist convert from England who is currently one of the highest-ranking nuns in Tibetan Buddhism.

Because of the unequal treatment she encountered during her practice, she once said: "I vow to attain Buddhahood as a woman, no matter how many reincarnations it takes."

Therefore, I have some insights.
