The first-class female nun in the city

Chapter 146 The Mountain People
Standing in front of a thick stone gate, Luo Zhi frowned.

She couldn't help feeling a little puzzled in her heart, thinking that this place must be related to He Xu's disappearance.But the tunnel that has been built for a long time, the stone gate in front of it, and the simple and heavy pattern, it is absolutely impossible to build it in a hurry.

Who would go to such lengths to kidnap a person?
This is obviously impossible.

But if it is said that the location has nothing to do with He Xu, it would be too coincidental!
The stone door cannot be pushed, and there are traces of magic spells on it. Luo Zhi's heart moved, and she was about to get closer to figure it out, when there was a sudden movement in the tunnel.

Four young mountain people rushed over aggressively from a distance. Although their speed was slightly faster than ordinary people, Luo Zhi and Shi Zimo still had time to hide if they wanted to.But the two looked at each other, and found the same thought in each other's eyes. If they stayed, there might be more clues.

They Shi Shiran turned to face the visitor.

The mountain people quickly approached, holding various weapons in their hands, and their faces were full of anger.

Among them, the leading mountain man, with tall eyebrows, dark eyes, and dark skin, stepped forward and pointed a spear at the two of them and shouted.

It's a pity that Luo Zhi didn't understand what he was saying.

Obviously, this is the local dialect.

She frowned.It's really bad that there is no way to communicate. These people shouldn't be the ones who are doing something to He Xu. She is about to ask him about it.

At this time, Shi Zimo suddenly spoke, speaking in the same babble.

Luo Zhi turned her head to look at him unexpectedly.

After the mountain people heard his words, the anger on their faces lessened a little, and then they whispered to each other, as if they were evaluating whether what he said was true or not.

Here Shi Zimo leaned his upper body slightly towards Luo Zhi and whispered.

"I came here to discuss business before, so I understand a little bit of their dialect. The man was asking who we are, trespassing on the forbidden land of the Moon God. I told him that we came here by accident. Presumably the magnanimous Moon God will not blame you for this loss."

This man really can talk, but... Luna Forbidden Land?Luo Zhi was a little confused.

The forbidden area is believable, but the stone gate is clearly a spell cast by a cultivator. Where did the moon god come from?It is unreasonable that the few people in front of them have no cultivation at all.The forbidden area has always been the most important place for a family or faction. If it is really a cultivation sect, how could it be possible to send ordinary people to guard it.

So, her guess was wrong?
Has nothing to do with cultivators, is this just a place of belief passed down by ordinary people?
So, how to explain the traces of spells on the door?

While she was wondering, the leading mountain man turned his head and had another conversation with Shi Zimo.

Because she couldn't understand, Luo Zhi paid special attention to the expressions of those mountain people.

She found that the tall mountain man who fell at the end, when he heard a certain sentence from Shi Zimo, his expression became extremely unnatural.

But her gaze passed by in a blink of an eye, but the other party didn't notice it.

Luo Zhi secretly kept him in her heart.

The conversation between the mountain people and Shi Zimo was over, and the four of them moved quickly. Two of them led the way, and the other two stood by the wall.Shi Zimo pulled her up and passed through the middle to follow, and the people behind followed closely.

While walking, Shi Zimo squeezed her hand and said in a low voice, "I said our friend disappeared in the mountain above, and we came here when we were looking for it. They should believe it, but they still have to take us with us." Go back to the clan to meet the elders." After a pause, he condensed his spiritual power into a thread and whispered in her ear, "They don't seem to know what the cultivators say, and they think that we can come here because of destiny. Since there is no hostility , we don’t need to act rashly, the elder may know more.”

Luo Zhi nodded incredulously.

The tunnel was not long, and they turned a corner in the middle, and they walked out quickly.

Standing at the exit, Luo Zhi found that they had indeed reached the side of the mountain.

The mountain people led them down the mountain.

This distance was nothing to Luo Zhi, she could just distract herself from memorizing the terrain and observing the mountain man behind her whose expression had changed.

He was indeed suspicious.

It doesn't take too much effort to see the uneasiness and apprehension in his eyes, staring at him with a look of wishing they would disappear as soon as possible.

Luo Zhi intuitively felt that he must know something about such a thing!
After about half an hour, the group of them came to the village at the foot of the mountain.

It is said to be a village, but it is not quite the same as the city B that Luo Zhi has seen.It is customary to build houses with bricks and tiles over there, but now the house in front of her is mostly made of bamboo and wood, and it is built on stilts.Each house is more than one meter above the ground, and the bottom is supported by round wooden piles. Some people still raise livestock there.Above, the part equivalent to the second floor is where the real villagers live.

There is one of these "tall buildings" not far away, according to Luozhi, there are at least dozens of them.

From time to time, women and children can be seen sitting upstairs, laughing and looking at them with curiosity in their eyes.Occasionally, young girls shouted at them.Often at this time, the leading mountain man would turn his head and talk to Shi Zimo with a smile.

Along the way, Shi Zimo gave full play to his ability to communicate with people, and gradually warmed up with the leading mountain people.

Although Luo Zhi couldn't understand, it could be seen that his attitude towards them was becoming more and more friendly.

This is naturally a good thing.

To be honest, in these respects, she admired Shi Zimo very much.

Although it was a deliberate friendship, it was not unnatural at all.

His face when he came down with Xi was like a spring breeze, his voice was gentle and somewhat magnetic, his attitude was curious and extremely self-controlled... It is actually very easy to let go of your guard against such a person.

Of course, the key is that those mountain people seem simple, but often such people have the strongest intuition, so you should realize that they have no malicious intentions.

The elders in Shanminkou also live in such bamboo houses.

But the decor is different from others.

There are some colorful strips of cloth and strange ornaments hanging on the door and the outside of the house to distinguish them, so they are very recognizable.

They followed the mountain people into the building.

The elder sat cross-legged in the middle of one end, watching them.

He is seven or eighty years old, his short hair and long beard are covered with hoarfrost, and the wrinkles on his face are crowded together when he smiles, but he looks surprisingly kind.

Luo Zhi imitated others and sat cross-legged in front of him.

After hearing what the leader of the mountain people said, the elder sized up the two of them first, and then said slowly, "Are you here to find someone?"

Luo Zhi was taken aback for a moment, he actually spoke Mandarin.

"Yes. Just like what Awaji told you just now." Shi Zimo bowed slightly.

The elder nodded, "Is there someone you are looking for here?"

Shi Zimo showed a questioning look on his side face.

Luo Zhi shook her head, she had already searched with her spiritual sense just now, why wasn't she in this village.

"It's not here. I think it was taken away directly from the mountain."

When Shi Zimo said these words, Luo Zhi clearly felt that someone behind her was beating much calmer.

The elder nodded again, "Since you have been to the Forbidden Land of the Moon God, you are also destined, please keep this a secret."

Seeing Shi Zimo's straightforward promise, he smiled with satisfaction, "You two are good, you can stay and participate in our clan's moon festival tonight."

Shi Zimo happily said "Yes", and Luo Zhi silently agreed.

The Moon Festival...it should be a festival, usually, people would come out and get together under such circumstances.This is the best way, and it is convenient for her to find the opportunity to ask the mountain man for clarification.

The leading mountain dweller also showed a happy smile, saluted the elder and happily led them to another bamboo building.Chatting with Shi Zimo chirping, he asked someone to serve them food, and then waved away.

Shi Zimo wiped his hands, took something that looked like a rice ball from the small bamboo table, and handed it over, "Try it, it's a specialty here that you can't get anywhere else."

Luo Zhi took it but didn't put it in her mouth. She didn't need to eat at all, not to mention she was not in the mood now. She said softly, "What do you think about this?"

Shi Zimo blinked at her, "Didn't you already find a breakthrough?"

It seems that he also found out that something was wrong with that mountain man!
Luo Zhi nodded, "Then wait until night."

"Well. You should rest for a while. Your spirit is not very good." Shi Zimo looked at her worriedly.

From the moment she heard the news of He Xu's disappearance, she was too tight on herself.Fortunately, he discovered something this time, otherwise, he was really afraid that she would lose control.

Luo Zhi breathed out, "Alright."

She understood what he meant, but... she couldn't help it.It was the first time in her life that she had someone she liked, but this kind of thing happened, she felt extremely uncomfortable.There is a certain place in my heart that is empty, not reaching the sky and the earth.She had never felt that kind of feeling before, and it was extraordinarily tormenting.

Sighing and closing her eyes, she knew that she couldn't cultivate with her current state of mind, but she still tried to get rid of distracting thoughts and let her mind be empty.

Seeing her eyes closed, Shi Zimo turned his head to caress his chest, twisting his face.

here we go again……
