Chapter 2447: How Could I Not Find Another Way Forward?
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Ning Shu felt that she had quite a lot of fate with this old Taoist priest.
Of course, this was only Ning Shu’s opinion. The old Taoist priest didn’t want to see Ning Shu at all.
“Why are you here?” the old Taoist priest asked dryly, a bit troubled. He hadn’t forgotten that this person had lifted him by the collar and thrown him over a wall. She tossed him……
Ning Shu said while smiling, “Taoist priest, you forget that my husband is dead. How could I not find another way forward?”
The old Taoist priest saw the child on Ning Shu’s back. “Where did the child come from?”
Ning Shu covered her mouth and laughed. “Taoist priest, you are really funny. I have a husband and you ask where my child comes from?”
The old Taoist priest stared at the child sleeping on Ning Shu’s shoulder. Of course, he could see that the child had a mother-daughter relationship with Ning Shu, but there was no blood relationship.
The old Taoist priest didn’t expose Ning Shu. He was afraid that Ning Shu would throw him somewhere in front of all the disciples, followers, and villagers.
“Your child’s life is filled with misfortune,” said the old Taoist priest.
Ning Shu stared at the old Taoist priest expressionlessly. “I don’t like your words. Do you know how to talk properly? If you’re not going to say something nice, then don’t bother. Do you think it’s appropriate to say such words the moment we meet?”
“Doctor Liu, the Taoist priest’s words are very accurate,” the aunt from next door said to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu rolled her eyes.
Seeing Ning Shu, the old Taoist priest almost forgot his purpose in coming here. He said to the village head, “Be careful during this time. A snake has appeared from deep in the mountains. This snake’s cultivation is very high and it’s about to become a spirit.”
“If any of you see it, please hurry to White Cloud Temple and inform us. This beast is so big that it can swallow a person in one bite.”
Hearing what the old Taoist priest said, the villagers were so scared that their faces drained of blood.
The village head trembled with fear as he asked the old Taoist priest, “Taoist priest, what should we do if this snake comes to the village? We’ll all be swallowed by it.”
“It can’t swallow so many people. It can only swallow one person at a time,” Ning Shu said.
Old Taoist: …
Village head: …
That would still be terrible, okay?
The old Taoist priest coughed, straightened up, and returned to his sage-like persona. He said, “The snake fears realgar. You can sprinkle some realgar around your homes. If there are any traces of the snake, quickly come to White Cloud Temple and tell us so that we can catch it as soon as possible.”
“Thank you, Taoist Priest,” the villagers thanked repeatedly.
Ning Shu asked the old Taoist priest, “Why did the snake leave the mountain after staying there for so long?”
Surely such a large snake would be very conspicuous. Spiritual beings came from deep within mountains and forests. Normally the snake should not have left.
It was a biological instinct to make the most of things while avoiding disadvantages. If it went to places with many people, it would definitely be killed and cooked.
Animals that lived deep in the forest were not to be made light of, but they still couldn’t win against overwhelming numbers.
Ning Shu narrowed her eyes in disdain at the old Taoist priest. She suspected that he wanted the snake.
Moreover, the reason why the snake fled was due to the Taoist priests of White Cloud Temple.
The old Taoist priest being stared at by Ning Shu: …
This woman was really…
“Taoist priest, what does the snake look like and what are its characteristics?” asked the village head.
The old Taoist priest swung his horsetail whisk and said, “It is a huge python that is black in color. Some of its scales have turned gold.”
The old Taoist priest repeatedly told the villagers to report if they found traces of the snake. Then he took the group of Taoist priests and left.
The villagers were terrified and they hurried home to scatter realgar.
The aunt next door also gave Ning Shu a bag of realgar and told Ning Shu to scatter it around all the corners of her home and at the foot of the backyard wall.
“Those supernatural beings like to eat children the most. You should take good care of Zhenzhen,” the aunt said. After thinking for a while, she gave Ning Shu another bag of realgar. “Sprinkle some on Zhenzhen’s clothes too.”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Ning Shu took the realgar and carried Zhenzhen into the house.
Ning Shu didn’t plan to sprinkle realgar powder on Zhenzhen’s clothes. Right now, Zhenzhen would grab things and put them in her mouth and realgar was toxic.
