She dressed as a concubine and was targeted by the powerful brother.

Chapter 16 Breaking In
Fu Rudi and Fu Jiao returned to Shengniang Temple, and their clothes were half-dried by the wind.

Originally, Sinan and Sibei were guarding the door, but when they arrived, they were nowhere to be seen.

Fu Rudi was about to go look for it, but Fu Jiao grabbed him and said, "Brother! Look over there!"

Her Mind-Ming Talisman has not expired yet, so she is naturally smarter and smarter than Fu Rudi.The villagers who were originally dancing Nuo dance in the temple now looked ferocious. They tied the hands of Si Nan and Si Bei behind their backs and detained them under the shrine.

The white-haired old woman was furious: "How did you get in?"

Si Nan and Si Bei looked at each other and avoided talking.

Because of their sudden appearance, the sacrificial ceremony was interrupted.The two boys and girls knelt in front of the statue, their eyes gradually turning from dull to clear.

Seeing this, the old woman couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "It's about time! If you don't worship me, the Holy Lady will be angry! Have you all forgotten the catastrophe ten years ago?"

"Don't dare to forget! Dare not to forget!"

The villagers who were manipulated by the demon took the initiative to stand up and still had the ability to think for themselves, "But...but these two are officials from the capital. Will killing them arouse suspicion?"

The old woman fell silent.

Her face was full of wrinkles, and she couldn't stop the confusion in her expression.

This is the first time I've encountered something like this...

"So what if I'm suspected?"

A feminine voice came from outside the door, and the villagers made way for him. It was the well-dressed Jiang Ping.

The villagers saluted him one after another, "Lord Zhizhou!"

"You're here."

"Lord Zhizhou, the sacrifice will begin soon. I'm waiting for you."

"..."

Sinan's expression flashed with surprise. The two of them suppressed their bad premonitions and said loudly: "Master Jiang, please let these villagers let us go. It is a serious crime for the people to detain officials without permission!"

Jiang Ping's slender eyes glanced lightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved.

He regarded the two of them as ants, but ignored them. He turned to the old woman and said: "There will be officials from the capital patrolling this time. It's my attention. Instead of hiding the disappearance case for ten years, it's better to report it proactively. There are no clues, no Evidence, you can’t see the living or the dead, and you can’t find the missing boys and girls even when the gods come. Those who don’t know their own abilities will retreat in the face of difficulties. I am so happy to find a scapegoat for him. In this way, it will be easy. It will give me decades of peace in Qiongzhou."

Hearing this, the old woman nodded slightly: "It's a good idea, but it's too dangerous."

"Wealth and wealth are sought in danger."

Jiang Ping looked at the statue of the Holy Mother on the altar and asked everyone, "Aren't you willing to sacrifice your small self to fulfill the greater self? Have you received less blessings from the Holy Mother in these years?"

Jiang Ping pointed at the villagers casually, "Zhao Chao, did your father rely on the Holy Mother to save his life the year before last? Liu Dong, your three sons were short of money to get married, so did the Holy Mother give you a hundred taels of gold? Li Linjun, this Now that you have enshrined a pair of children, what wish do you want to make to the Holy Mother?"

Among the crowd, a thin middle-aged man wearing ragged clothes walked out.

He avoided looking at the pair of children smeared with lead powder in the temple. He coughed violently and said, "I...I am sick. Very sick. Children can be regenerated, but I...I, as a father, only have one life."

Li Linjun felt very guilty.

He covered his face with his hands and urged: "Hurry up and offer sacrifices! If it's too late, the Holy Lady will not grant my wish!"

When Si Nan and Si Bei heard this, they understood something.

The two yelled: "You guys are so heartless!"

The old woman grabbed the eel blood mixed with glutinous rice and stuffed it into their mouths with her backhand, "Shut up! Don't be so arrogant in front of the Holy Mother!"

At this point, Jiang Ping wiped his neck directly and said angrily: "Cut off the limbs and throw them into the sea to feed the fish. I will find excuses for Fu Rudi." He looked at the time outside and said, "It's too late. Let’s sacrifice the boys and girls to the Holy Lady first.”

The old woman nodded.

She waved her hand, and the silk and bamboo gongs and drums began to sing again.The ghosts and villagers danced around two crying children in three circles inside and three outside.

The rotten walls of the temple reflected the shadowy figures. The two children became sluggish, their faces turned blue, their bodies shriveled up and lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their lifespan was gradually absorbed by the giant beast on the altar... "Why are you still there? Not showing up? Has the suppression talisman not been unlocked?"

Fu Jiao became anxious.

She did not forget to comfort Fu Rudi next to her, "Brother, let's just wait and see what happens. Don't be impulsive."

After all, there were hundreds of villagers gathered in the temple, as well as dozens of ghosts and demons that even Fu Jiao was very afraid of.

Fu Rudi didn't seem to hear.

He patted Fu Jiao on the shoulder and said, "Hide here and don't come out no matter what happens." As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed over like an arrow from a bow string, kicked away the dancing villagers, and knocked out the two dancing villagers. The child was held in his arms and shouted: "This is unreasonable!"

All the people and ghosts in the temple were shocked.

The old woman was so angry that she trembled all over, "Is this night over yet?!"

After so many years of worship, it has never been as fateful as tonight.

Fu Rudi doesn't understand ghosts and gods.

But he clearly saw that the two children were getting weaker and weaker because of the weird dance music.He believed that if the sacrifice was not terminated, the two children would surely die.

"grown ups!"

Si Nan and Si Bei were ecstatic at first, and then became extremely worried when they saw him alone, "Sir, be careful! These people are not good people!"

Si Bei spat at Jiang Ping, "Jiang Ping is the same as them!"

Fu Rudi had been watching for so long and didn't know why.

Jiang Ping felt guilty for a moment when he saw Fu Rudi appear.

He saluted Fu Rudi and said palely, "This is the custom of Qiongzhou. I hope Master Fu will understand it."

Fu Rudi held the skinny child in his left and right hands. He was shocked by what Jiang Ping had done, but his face was extremely calm: "Even though there are good folk customs, the state-owned Legalists have family rules. There is no perseverance, and there is nothing extravagant to ward off evil. Today. What you and others have done has already violated the laws of the Great Yuan Dynasty, not to mention you, Mr. Jiang, anyone who breaks the law and neglects you will be punished even if you are close!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ping knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

He simply saw it and made a look to the villagers on the left and right, "Master Fu and his party went to sea to look for coral jade. Unfortunately, the ship sank in a storm and no bones were left... The weather at sea is unpredictable. I believe the court can understand."

Immediately a group of villagers stood out holding sticks.

Fu Rudi put down the two children and quickly untied the ropes between Si Nan and Si Bei.Si Nan pulled out the long knife from his waist and threw it to Fu Rudi, "My lord, catch it!"

The three of them stood back to back and stood ready.

These villagers were all burly and muscular, and Jiang Ping did not take Fu Rudi and the others seriously at all.He gave the order, and the villagers swung their sticks like crazy and pounced on him.

Fu Jiao was really worried about Fu Rudi.

These villagers are not ordinary people. They are followed by a ghost behind them, and their strength and agility have been greatly improved.

But now she has to keep a low profile and cannot be exposed in front of Fu Rudi...

The villagers were approaching fiercely. Fu Rudi's face was as dark as water, he held up a long knife in his right hand and faced them.Seeing those sticks coming straight at him, about to hit his head and cause bleeding, Fu Rudi suddenly leaned forward, blocked the villagers with the back of his knife, flipped his left palm, and struck the villager's wrist with two snaps.

With just a few moves, Jiang Ping knew that Fu Rudi had real skills and was not easy to compete with.

Fu Rudi learns everything quickly.

Even swords, fists and kicks are better than these villagers' ghosts.

His movements were crisp and neat, and the swords connected with each other, reflecting a silvery white light in the moonlight.The long sword was like a swimming dragon, clanging, clanging, clanging, and striking several times quickly. It was eliminated and struck, and no one among the dozen or so people touched even half of his clothes.

Jiang Ping sweated on his forehead.

He gritted his teeth, pushed away the trembling old woman, knelt directly to the statue of the Holy Lady on the altar, and kowtowed three times: "Please, the Holy Lady, appear and drive away Fu Rudi and others! Otherwise, Qiongzhou will never have peace, and we will not be able to serve it." You’re in control!”
