Chapter 565: The Strange Town

"Crash..."

A huge black head popped out from the water, and a bloody mouth opened. The water birds that were caught off guard immediately fell into the mouth. Gu Shiyi watched helplessly as the monster in the water ate the water birds and then dived into the lake, leaving behind a huge vortex that did not dissipate for a long time.

Gu Shiyi estimated the shadow at the bottom of the water and it seemed to be about the same size as a whale.

Gee!

Gu Shiyi shook her head and continued to fly forward. This time her eyes were brighter. She found a small island with a few small trees on it. After going up, she sat cross-legged and released the monk Shijie.
"Monk, how about you go and find out what's going on?"

Monk Shijie seemed eager to try.

"Amitabha! I am willing to be a pioneer for you..."

After that, he said nothing more and turned into a beam of black light and flew towards the Witch God Temple...

Gu Shiyi was sitting cross-legged in meditation. There was an intelligent beast in the lake that stalked up from the water and was observing her from afar. Gu Shiyi did not move. She was wearing the leather armor given by Granny Lanhua. After the aura from the armor spread out, the beast in the lake discovered that Gu Shiyi was not an easy bone to chew. Without hesitation, it swung its tail, causing a huge stream of water, and turned away!
Gu Shiyi had carefully examined the leather armor on his body.

"Look at the texture, it looks like crocodile skin. Could it be that Granny Orchid is an old crocodile that has lived for tens of thousands of years?"

She guessed it right!

Gu Shiyi speculated secretly, and thought of the Barbarian King again.

"He is the descendant of Granny Orchid. Is he also a crocodile?"

If he were a crocodile, when his mother gave birth to him, did she lay an egg or a human being?
But come to think of it, it is most likely still a human. This Orchid Grandma should be like the monsters. After transforming into a human form, she found a barbarian to marry and gave birth to a human-monster hybrid. I wonder what kind of blood mix has become of the child born from her mother who has the blood of a true dragon and the barbarian king who has the blood of a giant crocodile?

Look at my own descendants, there aren’t many outstanding ones.

Hey! Gu Shiyi figured it out again!
In fact, she really didn't know that even if one had true dragon blood, not everyone could inherit the bloodline of their ancestors!

Having too much mixed blood is not necessarily a good thing!

That's why the real dragon was so disgusted with the human blood in Gu Shiyi and replaced her blood!

By the way, Gu Shiyi remembered something.
"Grandma Lanhua said that she had seen a real dragon in the Central Plains. I wonder if the real dragon that helped me change my blood was the one she saw. I forgot to ask her about this!"

The key point is that the great god who easily changed Gu Shiyi's track from the human race to the demon race, appeared for too short a time, and Gu Shiyi didn't understand what was going on at all, and then he disappeared, and Gu Shiyi really couldn't think of it for a while!
I'll go back and ask after I finish my work here!

While Gu Shiyi was daydreaming, Monk Shijie came back.

"Amitabha!"

"How about it?"

Gu Shiyi asked hurriedly, and the monk Shijie responded,

"The Witch God Temple is called a temple, but it is actually a small city. A large number of witches live in the city, and there are also many ordinary people living with them. They should be the servants who serve the witches..."

After a pause, he said again,
"...The building in the middle of the small city is the tallest. I think it is the main hall. I have wandered around the city for a few times. This city is a bit strange!"

At this point, his brows knitted tightly.

"Oh...how do you say it?"

The Ten Precepts monk said,
"That small town has no guards, and the gates are open on all sides, but the mortals coming and going in the town all have dull eyes. In my opinion... these mortals seem to have their souls controlled by someone..."

After thinking about it again,

"I can sense... the aura in that city is very terrifying. There is indeed a very powerful person here..."

Gu Shiyi blinked repeatedly after hearing this, thought for a moment and asked, "Then...according to the monk, how do we get in?"

Didn’t Grandma Orchid say that some of her people had already entered the Witch God Temple?

If the souls of all the mortals inside are controlled, then the only one who can move freely is the witch. It seems that Granny Lanhua's methods are not bad. She can actually incite the witch to rebel!
Gee!

Gu Shiyi had a higher opinion of the old woman's ability.

"Luckily, I didn't fall out with her!"

If I had dared to lose my temper that night, I would have probably been pressed down on that spot!

The Ten Commandments monk thought for a while and said,

"Although the four gates of the small city are wide open, I can sense two powerful auras hovering over the small city. They must be the city's guardians, and they seem to have discovered me... That's why I hesitated and didn't dare to go in. If Master Gu wants to go in, I'm afraid he'll have to find a way to divert those two powerful auras!"

Monk Shijie is neither a god nor a ghost, nor a spirit, and should not be easy to be discovered. However, the guards of that small town were able to discover him. It seems that there are many masters in the Witch God Temple!

Gu Shiyi secretly clicked his tongue.

"For the sake of the fox, I will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire. I am a righteous sister after all!"

After a brief thought, he released the Chi zombie.

"Didn't they say that the souls of all the mortals in that city were controlled..."

She poked the little monster that trembled at the sight of her with her finger.

"Little thing, don't you say that it is the best way to confuse people? Go and try... wake up all the mortals in that city, or... let them mess around on their own..."

The Chi Zang trembled his little body and nodded repeatedly. Gu Shiyi smiled with satisfaction and thought for a while.
"Let's take a rest first and do it at night!"

It was still noon, and Gu Shiyi sat cross-legged on a small island in the center of the lake to meditate. About an hour later, he saw several fishing boats appear on the lake. The boats were not big, and could carry about ten people. There was a fisherman and a boatman on board, one rowing the boat and the other fishing. At first glance, there was nothing wrong, but when he got closer and took a closer look, he saw that the people on the boats all had dull faces, lifeless eyes, and their hands moved in a rigid manner, like puppets. Gu Shiyi hid behind a reef, watching the boats pass by in front of him, and found that the hull was also engraved with runes of the Witch God Temple. So even though the boat was small, none of the strange beasts in the lake dared to approach and overturn it, and they could only watch from afar!

Gu Shiyi thought about it, lowered her body, and jumped into the water. Her tall and slender body was like a mermaid in the water. After gently swaying a few times, her body slid silently far away and came to the bottom of a small boat. She stretched out her hands like claws and grabbed them with force. Her whole body was attached to the hull...

With her arm strength and swimming ability, she didn't have to worry about falling or being unable to breathe. She just stuck her whole body to the bottom of the boat. When it was getting dark, Gu Shiyi followed the boat to the shore dock. She quietly leaned her head out of the water to look, and saw that the fisherman and the boatman on the boat had returned to the cabin, sitting face to face. The fish they caught were placed in a large bamboo basket on the bow of the boat.

In the distance, a group of people were walking towards the dock with stiff movements. When they arrived at the dock, they got on the boat to carry the fish baskets. There was no communication between these people during the whole process. Except for the footsteps, the creaking of the bamboo baskets and the sound of water flowing through the cracks, there was no other sound!
Gee!

It's like a zombie patrol!
But these people are even more miserable than zombies. Zombies will no longer work like beasts of burden when they die, but these people don’t know whether they are dead or alive, yet they still do the work of beasts of burden!

Gu Shiyi watched the group of people silently moving the fish baskets. Suddenly, his eyes turned and an idea came to him. He swam to the farthest boat, slowly emerged from the water, climbed onto the boat, and dived into the big bamboo basket, covering himself with the dead fish...

Soon, the fish movers moved to Gu Shiyi's basket. Two of them grabbed both sides of the bamboo basket and lifted it up.
“Click… click… click… bang…”

The bamboo basket let out several miserable cries and fell heavily back onto the boat, causing the boat to shake and even the fish mover fell down!

Silence, it's quiet outside!
Gu Shiyi looked out from the gap in the bamboo basket and found that the two fish porters on the ground had not moved after falling down. The other fish porters had a dazed look on their faces and stood there like fools, not knowing whether they could come to help. After a long while, perhaps the person in charge behind the scenes discovered the problem, four more fish porters came up and worked together to carry the heavy bamboo basket away, leaving the two fish porters who fell on the deck lying there stupidly, and who knew whether they would be taken back by the owner later!
Gu Shiyi was lifted onto a wooden wheelbarrow. A sturdy man was pushing the wheelbarrow. With his eyes wide open and breathing heavily, he pushed Gu Shiyi step by step along the road leading to the small town. A large bamboo basket on the wheelbarrow blocked the man's sight, but he didn't really need to see. Gu Shiyi sat up from the pile of fish. She remembered Granny Lanhua's instructions, put away her leather armor, took out the wooden sign made of the two small animals, hung it around her waist, and swayed to the gate of the small town.

Sure enough, there were no guards at the city gate, and there were indeed two very powerful auras hovering back and forth above the entire town.

"It seems... these are the two guards that Granny Orchid mentioned!"

With Gu Shiyi's eyesight, she didn't even see what the two guards who had hidden their figures looked like.
"It's probably some wild beast that is naturally good at hiding its body!"

Gu Shiyi hid in the pile of fish again and was pushed into the city gate step by step by the strong man. The city was just as the Ten Commandments monk said. There were many mortals dressed as barbarians coming and going on the streets. At first glance, it seemed quite lively and busy, but if you look closely, you can see that these people have their eyes wide open and walk around like clockwork dolls. It seems that everyone has fixed things to do like the fishermen or fish movers outside, and they also do things according to fixed procedures. Gu Shiyi was secretly shocked.

"Although they are all mortals and their spirits are not strong enough, how powerful must the witch god's spirit be to control so many people at once?"
