The system is unreliable, the host can only save herself
Chapter 76: Landslides and Earthquakes
By the time everyone in Liujia Village finished their dinner, it was already completely dark.
In order not to waste lamp oil and also because everyone was too tired during these days, everyone went to bed early.
Suddenly, there were bursts of "booming" sounds.
A villager woke up from his sleep and asked the person sleeping next to him,
"Dad of the twins, do you think there is thunder outside?"
"Go to sleep. You've been exhausted these days. Didn't the village chief say that our village is blessed by the immortals. We'll be fine."
So, the two of them didn't take it seriously and fell asleep again.
The same thing happened to many people. No one took it seriously and continued to sleep. It was mainly because they were too weak.
Only the village chief's house always had an oil lamp on.
"Mom and Dad, I want to follow the immortal. The immortal said that Xiao Shitou, Xiao Linbao and I all have spiritual roots and can cultivate immortality. I don't want to miss the opportunity."
Little Cherry's family didn't sleep. Her father was smoking his pipe while her mother was crying silently.
"But, Cherry, your father just said that the few words left by our ancestors said that the world of immortal cultivation is a life-and-death struggle and is extremely cruel. I'm afraid of you... wuwuwu!"
The village head's wife burst into tears before she finished her words. She had a hard time having children her whole life, and she only had this one son and one daughter.
Her son went out to study and there has been no news from him. Now her daughter is going to the world of immortal cultivation. This separation may be forever. How can she bear to let them go?
"Dad and Mom, please, please let me go. I am willing to accept any consequences. I really don't want to stay in the village and marry in the village or the city and live a life that I can predict the end of."
Yingtao knew that her parents were already looking for a husband for her, and the person they were looking for was her uncle's nephew, who was also a captain of the police in Tianlin City.
If Gu Lili hadn't appeared, she would have been very satisfied, because marrying into such an ancient working class, she only needed to take care of her husband and children and serve her husband well.
But now there is a wider road in front of her, and she is unwilling to do so.
The village chief sighed deeply and made the final decision.
"The mother of the child should let the child go. The ancestor never gave up cultivating immortals despite the difficulties at that time. He must have his reasons."
Then he turned to Cherry and said,
"My daughter, you chose this path yourself. Once you make a decision, you must not look back and must not give up halfway. Can you do it?"
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely do it and will never give up halfway."
When Cherry heard that her father agreed, she immediately burst into laughter and hurriedly responded,
"Dad, you should also go and tell Uncle Wu about Little Stone's matter."
The village chief said "ah" to indicate that he understood.
Suddenly, there was a series of "rumbling" sounds outside. The three of them immediately stood up and walked to the door.
"Oh my God, is it thundering? Is it going to rain? But there are still stars in the sky, what is this..."
Cherry Lady heard the sound and cried out in surprise.
Cherry and her father looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes. They both knew in their hearts that this was probably the work of that immortal.
"It's good to have rain. I've been so tired recently. It's a good time to take a break on a rainy day."
Village Chief Liu interrupted his wife and yawned.
"Cherry, go back to sleep quickly,"
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and led the way into the house. Cherry instantly understood what his father meant.
"Yes, Dad and Mom, I'll go back to the house then!"
The village head's wife watched her parents return to the house.
So she had no time to pay attention to the deafening thunder outside. She yawned, walked back into the house, bolted the door, turned off the oil lamp, and went back to the house in the dark to catch up on her sleep.
The wild animals in the mountains behind Liujia Village were hunting at night.
Suddenly there were loud noises, and then the sky collapsed and the ground sank. The entire mountain forest suddenly sank down.
Countless wild animals sensed the danger and ran down from the mountains.
They came to the entrance of Liujia Village, which was closest to the mountain. They wanted to rush into the village, but suddenly found that the village seemed to be wrapped in a transparent barrier, and they could not break in from any direction.
The loud noises were also heard in Tianlin City, which was more than fifty miles away.
The Lord of the Mansion quickly summoned his advisers, "Everyone, did you hear those loud noises?"
The counselors said: "Yes, Lord, it is from the direction of Shigong Mountain. We guess it may be caused by an earthquake."
Lord Fu: "This earthquake was so powerful, the damage it caused must be considerable!"
The Lord of the Mansion suddenly thought of something, "Is there a village under Shigong Mountain where a monster is causing trouble? It is said that the monster ate the people in the entire village and injured all the experts we sent over?"
The counselors said, "Yes, sir. It's the father-in-law of Lin Bantou, who guards the city gate. The village they live in is called Liujia Village."
“However, that monster is really strange. It just stays in the village and never steps out of it.
The Lord of the Mansion suspected that the earthquake was caused by the monster?"
The Lord of the Mansion said, "Yes, let's send a team to check it out tomorrow morning. I hope the Taoist priests from the Sanqing Temple will arrive sooner, and I will feel relieved."
The counselors were somewhat puzzled: "Master, the people who went to invite the Taoist priests have been on the road for two months, why is there still no news?"
The Lord of the Palace sighed, "Alas, do you think it's so easy to invite the Taoist priests of Sanqing Temple? You need money, connections, and a long queue.
Our Tianlin City is far away from the imperial capital and not wealthy. If it weren't for my family in the imperial capital and the connections I have, it's hard to say whether I could be invited or not!"
The counselors said, "Don't worry, my lord. We will make arrangements right away. We will go to Shigong Mountain to investigate tomorrow morning. It may be just a normal earthquake."
The Lord frowned and said, "For now, this is all we can do. I hope I am just worrying too much."
"..."
Gu Lili didn't know that her trick had caused one third of Shigong Mountain to collapse.
The originally towering peaks are now much shorter, and the originally short peaks have simply turned into mounds and plains.
The moment Xiao Yuzhu collected the entire spiritual vein into the jade bead space, Gu Lili could no longer contact her.
Fortunately, she had the experience from last time, so she was not panicked.
He calmly added a spiritual power shield to himself and rushed out of the rapidly collapsing crack with his sword.
Standing in mid-air, I saw the huge crack, collapse with a loud bang, and disappear in an instant.
