Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 154 Xiao Jiu
The villagers' carnival continued, and Ding Yumian walked lightly past the two strong men lying crookedly at the door and walked into the small dark room.

Psychic mages always have some knowledge of hypnosis, and it is easy to make ordinary people sleep deeper even without relying on magic.

Back in the small hut, Ding Yumian, who had nothing to do for the moment, focused his attention on the magic circle again.

Being ancient does not mean being backward. Even if we look at it from today's perspective, the wisdom of the sages still shines brightly.

Although this formation that can cause the flow of magic energy looks a bit rough, the mystery behind it is difficult to understand.

Once you sink into a certain study, time will always fly by.

Blinking your eyes, the moon sets and the sky rises, and it’s another sunny day.

The one delivering food today is not Lingling.

"Where's that little girl?" Ding Yumian was surprised.

"Locked up." The villager's bearded mouth opened and his white teeth grinned.

"What's wrong with her?" Ding Yumian's voice was a little nervous.

"She is also a witch", the villagers felt a little sorry.

He could tell that the girl was a good girl.

What a pity for Si Lunzi, such a good wife, alas.

Ding Yumian frowned slightly as he watched the villagers leave.

With Lingling's wisdom, it was not difficult to deceive these ancients by creating some magic energy fluctuations.

But why would she do this?

This has nothing to do with the methods she mentioned before to escape from marriage.

Time passes little by little.

A few days later, Ding Yumian completely understood the principle of this magic circle. When he moved the eyes of the magic circle, the power that caused the flow of magic energy stopped abruptly.

She raised her chin slightly and curved the corners of her mouth.

If what is expected is correct, the game should enter the next stage, right?
Sure enough, as the magic circle was broken, the villagers rushed in and stared at Ding Yumian in shock and anger.

"You're in big trouble."

"If the king blames us, we won't be able to escape."

"Damn it, Xiaojiu's baby didn't hurt us enough, here comes another one."

"Shut up, Xiaojiu is a good boy..."

The villagers said something to each other, and everyone talked about it.

Ding Yumian was thoughtful.

"Xiaojiu, are you also a witch?"

The villagers did not respond directly to her question, but their expressions showed acquiescence.

"You go." The village chief, who had been silent for a long time, sighed heavily, with sadness in his eyes.

The villagers looked dissatisfied, but did not disobey the village chief's order and silently made way for them.

"Why?" Ding Yumian was puzzled.

"Just leave when I tell you, there's so much nonsense," the man who spoke was the big man who had been delivering food to her these past few days.

"How will the king punish you if I leave?"

The villagers remained silent, but the fear in their eyes could not be hidden.

"Xiaojiu, is the guardian of the Nine-Colored Deer?"

A crisp voice sounded, and everyone turned around. At the end of the road was Lingling with his hands in his pockets.

"Why did you run out?" The villagers were shocked.

Lingling curled her lips and did not explain.

To an old hunter, door locks from ancient times are no different from children's toys.

The reason why she fabricated the identity of "Witch" for herself was purely because she wanted to visit the place where Xiao Jiu was once imprisoned, maybe she could find some clues.

"Sister Yumian," Lingling waved her hands and showed a bright smile.

"Are you in the same group?" The four idiots were confused and felt that they had been deceived.

The village chief remained as calm as ever, and slapped his son on the back of the head: "You brat, you are not stable at all, how can you get a wife in the future?"

The four idiots hugged their heads in grievance.

The village chief glanced at Tong Zhou and snorted coldly.

Ding Yumian, Lingling, and the escaped Tong Zhouzheng were incompatible with them in terms of image, temperament, and clothing. He had a hunch very early on that the three people walking out of the forest should be a group, and it was just as he expected.

"I have seen the ability of magic immunity in the Nine-Colored Deer. Is it because the Nine-Colored Deer is protecting you from magic attacks?" Lingling's tone was slightly hesitant.

Mainly, she was not sure. If the village was protected by the Nine-Colored Deer, it would be illogical for the villagers to be hostile to it.

However, according to the information she obtained from the four idiots, it seemed that only people within their village would have the magic immunity buff, which was consistent with the magical ability of the Nine-Colored Deer to save her from the mouth of the black dragon.

The village chief shook his head and said: "Don't ask, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave until the king comes."

"After the magic circle is broken, can the king sense it?" Ding Yumian seemed to have some realization.

Si Lunzi looked at Ding Yumian angrily and said: "My father is so kind to protect you, but you are not only unappreciative, but also hurt Lingling..."

"Protect?" Ding Yumian was startled.

The fourth idiot said angrily: "Humph, we told you as early as the first day you entered the village that the king is looking for a witch."

"However, as far as I know, anyone who finds traces of totems or witches will be granted noble status and their village will be exempted from labor and military service for three years. You have no reason not to report it." Lingling's beautiful big eyes were unusually confused.

Seeing the two people's inquisitive thoughts, the village chief shook his head and told a story with a sigh.

The story begins with a little girl named Xiaojiu.

Xiaojiu is an orphan who fled to this isolated mountain village during the king's vigorous battle to kill the totem.

Along with her came a holy and beautiful young white deer.

The white deer is extremely beautiful, exuding the gentle luster of nine colors, and its clear and elf-like eyes always look at the villagers gently.

With Xiaojiu and Bailu around, the villagers' hunting mortality dropped sharply.

Everyone in the village liked them, without exception.

Until one day, a severely injured and unconscious black dragon fell from the sky.

The white deer saved it.

And the first thing it did after waking up was to seriously injure the curious villagers who gathered around it.

Fortunately, Bailu is there and the villagers are still alive.

The villagers wanted to take revenge, but were blocked by Bai Lu.

The villagers were angry and came to Xiaojiu.

Xiao Jiu said in a complicated tone: "Human beings were the first to feel sorry for them."

Since then, the close relationship between Xiaojiu, Bailu and the villagers has cracked.

The white deer fled into the forest, and Xiaojiu followed.

However, villagers will still be protected by white deer when hunting in the forest.

Not long after such peaceful days passed, the king came with his army.

They came looking for the black dragon.

The black dragon was seriously injured, but the white deer stepped forward.

The king's strength is unparalleled in the world, but at this time the white deer has also reached adulthood, and even the king is somewhat stretched when it comes to its magical immunity to magic.

However, this was not difficult for the king at all.

His army surrounded the village, and within a few days some of the villagers were starving.

They revealed Xiaojiu's whereabouts to Wang.

Wang ordered the villagers to go to the forest to capture Xiaojiu.

Unexpectedly, Xiaojiu walked out on his own.

The villagers were silent.

Wang personally built the witch prison and imprisoned Xiaojiu.

He wants to force Xiaojiu to hand over Bailu's totem vessel, otherwise he will kill one villager every day.

That day, Xiaojiu committed suicide.

The nine-color deer inherited Xiaojiu's last wish, and the nine-color brilliance, which can only be used once in a lifetime, shines down to protect the village.

Unable to enter the village, the king had no choice but to retreat.

This village became the only place not under the control of the king.

　Ah, I finally figured out how to write this paragraph...

　　Hold me for a long time.

　　Sure enough, Kavin had to bite the bullet and sit in front of the computer before he could continue writing.
