Chapter 261 Leaving the Black Forest
Chapter 261 Leaving the Black Forest
The fortune teller, one dies and the other lives!
Why is this?
Zang Nian looked up at the couple in the distance, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
He took a deep breath and tried divination again, but when he saw the same result, he felt very complicated.
dead?
How could it be a dead person?
Could it be that the woman is dead?
But if the woman died, then the man couldn't be so indifferent and not notice it?
If it were someone else, he might have thought it was because of heartlessness, but this couple was indeed very loving before, it didn't seem like they were faking it. If someone really died, the situation wouldn't be like this now.
But the divination result...
For the first time, Zang Nian had deep doubts about the results of his divination. He had never encountered such a situation before.
He looked up at the woman lying on the ground in the distance, "sleeping soundly", and recalled the pale face he had seen before. It was obvious that she was sick, and the illness was serious. There was also evil spirits entering her body. Could it be that because the illness was too serious, it led to such a divination result?
"Master, what did you predict?" the man who had been watching Zang Nian's divination asked.
Zang Nian shook his head and said nothing in the end. After a while, he put away the formation plate and closed his eyes.
That night, there were occasional harassment from wild animals, but nothing serious happened.
When the sky began to brighten slightly, Si He opened her eyes sensitively and woke up, just like last night.
She didn't sleep again, but resisted the urge to sleep, and took turns with Ning Ji to guard him so that he could rest for a while.
She will have a good sleep after leaving the Black Forest during the day.
After Ning Ji lay down, Zang Nian in the distance suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Si He from afar for a while, and after a while, he took out the formation plate and carefully calculated again.
Si He noticed Zang Nian's gaze, and when she turned around, she saw that he had withdrawn his gaze, taken out the formation plate from last night, and was divination again.
She watched his movements curiously. Although the distance was far and the light was dim, she had good eyesight and could still see clearly.
It is indeed rare for a monk to know divination.
However, when she thought that this was an evil monk, she no longer found it strange.
After a while, the monk suddenly raised his head in surprise and looked at her. Even though the distance was a little far, she could see the shock on his face.
What is this new thing that has been figured out?
Why was he looking at her in such shock? Could it be that what he divined was related to her?
Thinking of this, her gaze towards Zang Nian became even deeper.
After a while, she withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at him. After all, they would go their separate ways after dawn and would have nothing to do with each other. They would probably never see each other again. As long as he didn't bother her, she didn't care about his divination.
As time passed, the sky gradually brightened. The forest in the early morning was very quiet except for the chirping of birds, and the calls of wild animals had disappeared.
Si He walked to the stream not far away, washed her face, rinsed her mouth, and tidied her hair, then she put on a veil and gloves.
When she walked back to Ning Ji and just sat down, she could feel the scrutiny and inquiring gaze from afar through the veil. This evil monk had been looking at her from time to time since she woke up in the morning. She didn't know what his intentions were.
At this time, Ning Ji sat up and stopped sleeping. Only then did the evil monk withdrew his gaze.
The sun slowly rose, the sky brightened, and the group of people in the distance also started to get up, wash up, eat, and chatter. However, they were all moving quite quickly, obviously eager to reach the ancient tomb and take a chance.
Just as everyone was eating, another group of people came from the depths of the forest, also heading for the ancient tomb, and passed by here.
Seeing these people riding horses galloping past, they suddenly became a little anxious. They had arrived late in the first place, and now so many people were arriving one after another, which made them feel that time was very urgent.
Soon, after they hurriedly ate something, they prepared to set off.
Before leaving, Zang Nian once again gazed at Si He from afar, with a complicated look in his eyes.
After a while, the whole group of people left and the forest returned to peace.
Ning Ji and Si He did not delay any longer. After filling their stomachs, they packed up their things and rode away on horseback.
After running all the way for most of the day, we finally got out of the Black Forest.
When leaving the Black Forest, they still encountered many people who wanted to enter the forest. Si He was a little puzzled about this. A lot of people had gone there in total, and these people were really persistent.
As for those who came out of the Black Forest, they also looked at them with different expressions, but no one paid much attention to them and just quickened their pace to rush deeper into the forest.
If the ancient tomb had not been destroyed by that evil monk or someone with great power, these people would probably have died if they had gone in.
After leaving the Black Forest, Ning Ji did not go to the city, but found an abandoned village nearby to settle down.
Ning Ji asked Liu Mao to find a quiet place to stay. He recommended several places and finally chose this abandoned village.
This small village is far away from the city and is located in a remote area. It originally had a small population. After being harassed by bandits again and again, the people in the village moved away one after another and it became a deserted village.
Now Si He needs spiritual essence to nourish her body, and this place is just right.
And the things in the bronze tripod need to be dealt with, which is inconvenient as there are too many people in the city.
Not long after, they arrived at this abandoned village.
In the wilderness, the abandoned village is overgrown with weeds and is desolate and dilapidated.
At the entrance of the village, there is a remaining stone tablet half-hidden in the weeds. The words on the stone tablet are a little blurred, and the three big characters "Quanshui Village" can be vaguely recognized.
The village was silent. Occasionally, a few wild birds flew over the village and chirped a few times, adding a bit of vitality, but then it quickly returned to silence, making the village seem even more desolate.
Liu Mao led the way, perplexed. Clearly these two men had plenty of money, so why were they settling in this abandoned village? They were simply asking for trouble.
Originally, Liu Mao thought that he would be free again after leaving the Black Forest, but now looking at the situation... Alas.
Si He sat on the horse, with her back against Ning Ji, looking at the village through the veil.
Since I have lived in a deserted village before, I don’t have any special feelings about living here.
Entering the village, Ning Ji drove the horse slowly, looking for a suitable house to stay.
The paths through the village were overgrown with weeds, nearly obscuring them. Many houses, long abandoned, were in a state of disrepair, with tiles falling off the roofs, making them uninhabitable.
After searching around for a while, I finally found a place at the back that was barely habitable and shady enough. It was afternoon now, and because of the high mountains in the distance, there was no sunlight at all.
After getting off the horse, Ning Ji asked Liu Mao to clean up the house first and resolutely treated him as a slave.
Liu Mao felt sad and could only accept his fate and work.
