"So what's the meaning of your move now?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

"Master Xuyun said that their temple needs people, young and strong, the more the better."

The short man said, "There are more than a dozen people in our village who meet the requirements and have been taken to the Taoist temple by them, but the villagers have never seen them since then."

The tall man shook his head. "In fact, we seemed to have seen one of them a few days ago, but we were not sure because the person we knew was only in his early thirties and had a decent appearance. But the other day, we saw that person with wrinkled face, and he looked to be in his fifties or sixties."

The short man added, "And white hair."

Lu Zhaoling's heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly thought of Lin Yanran.

"You don't dare to admit it, but you actually have some doubts in your heart, right?" she asked.

Both the tall and short man lowered their heads.

A woman among the people suddenly rushed towards them, crying and asking, "What do you mean? My child's father was also taken to the temple. Are you saying that they will grow old? Have you seen my child's father?"

"Mom..." A little boy also started crying and ran over to hug her legs.

For a moment, the scene became chaotic again.

"Shut up."

Lu Zhaoling shouted in a deep voice.

The law comes out as it is spoken.

They all fell silent for a moment.

Zhou Shiyue raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Zhaoling. Don't think he didn't see that these people's sudden silence was not voluntary.

Lu Er, do you have any other abilities that are beyond his expectations?

The woman looked at Lu Zhaoling in horror.

She was crying so hard, why did she stop so suddenly? This girl is really evil.

But Lu Zhaoling didn't need them to like her or get close to her. So she was just afraid.

"Let's get down to business."

The tall and short man suppressed their fear and continued talking quickly.

They did suspect that the dozen or so villagers were made older by the temple master.

But they couldn't think of anywhere else, and instead speculated absurdly that the temple master and the mother and daughter were transformed mountain monsters.

Isn't it said that some monsters will suck people's essence and lifespan to make themselves younger and longer-lived?

"But the people in our village have been living in poverty all year round, and they don't have enough food or warm clothes. There are also many elderly, weak, women and children. Not many of them can catch the eyes of the temple master, so the temple master recruited us and asked us to stop people on the official road."

They did not stop the elderly, the weak, women and children, but they would find a way to bring the young and strong back to the village.

As long as we send them into the temple, the master will have a way to keep them.

"If we can't find anyone to return to the village within ten days, the abbot will keep the two of us here." The tall man cried, "I'm scared."

It really makes people feel a little sad to hear such a tall and burly man crying and saying "I'm scared".

"Today is the tenth day. We thought we had no chance, but you passed by. From afar, these brothers are so majestic. We, we..."

They followed Bishop Guan's words and came out to deceive people.

The two men also knew that they might not be able to accomplish the task alone, so they brought these villagers with them to help recruit people when necessary.

No matter what tricks they use, whether it's being shameless, forcing people to do something, or pretending to be sick to gain sympathy, they must bring people into the village.

Lu Zhaoling turned around and glanced at Zhou Shiyue and others.

Look at her age, she is so fresh and has a great figure.

At first glance, they are obviously strong and vigorous young men.

"Tsk. It really is a batch of good stuff."

Zhou Shiyue's face turned dark.

It would be fine if someone else picked her, but why is she looking at me like a brothel owner?

Qingfeng, Qinglin and others were also tense.

"How can you be so cold-hearted, girl?" An old man suddenly pointed at Lu Zhaoling and cursed, "After hearing about the tragedy in my village, it would be fine if you didn't feel sad and scared, but you actually joked about it?!"

"That's right! She looks so charming and has a vixen face. She must not be a good person! Shorty, if you want to let her go, don't think we don't know! You should give her to the temple master!"

An old woman also started cursing.

The old man agreed, "You two, you know that the master said that if we can find a young and beautiful girl, we can get the job done with just one person, but you still want to let this girl go!"

As they talked, greed was revealed in their eyes.

The temple master said that there was a good girl who was very useful. If he gave her to them, maybe those three men would let their entire village go.

Zhou Shiyue's face turned cold.

"Remember these two old guys." He said sinisterly.

Qinglin's face also turned dark, "Yes!" He remembered it!

He deserves to scold the lady, he deserves to have ideas about the lady, he deserves to die.

They haven't taken any action yet because they all saw Lu Zhaoling waving at them.

This means not to let them take action.

"Do you know why I don't sympathize with you?" Lu Zhaoling raised his eyebrows.

She really didn't have much kindness.

"What else could it be? Because you are a black-hearted person!" the old woman cursed.

"Well, I have a black heart. Let me tell you, I can see that most of you are evil people. For example, you old woman, you have killed a person, a little ghost at that."

Lu Zhaoling stretched out his fingers, looked at her face, and calculated.

"That little ghost is related to you by blood. Let me see. She should be your granddaughter, right? She was suffocated to death by you with a quilt, right?"

thump!

The old woman's face was filled with fear, her legs went limp, and she fell to the ground.

How could Lu Zhaoling in her eyes still be a charming and seductive vixen? She was clearly a scary ghost!

Even her own family didn't know that she suffocated her granddaughter to death. How did this woman know? Did she really calculate it?

When the others saw the old woman's reaction, they immediately understood that Lu Zhaoling was right.

Otherwise, how could the old woman have reacted like this?

"And you," Lu Zhaoling looked at the old man again, "You..."

"Shut up!" Veins bulged on the old man's forehead. He interrupted Lu Zhaoling hastily and turned around and ran away.

If he doesn't run away, what if she really tells him what he has done? Will he be able to stay in the village?

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhaoling is a vengeful person. How could she let these two people go since they provoked her first?

The old man can run, but he can't run fast.

She said loudly, "You have a peach curse on you. Do you know what it is? You killed a woman, right? And this woman was destined to be with you, but she died within half a month of your marriage. You also gained a little more fortune because of this, so the matter should last no more than three years."

The old man running in front fell to the ground, struggled to get up, and continued to run limping.

The short man was shocked and said, "Three years ago, he lived with an old sister-in-law from the village. His house collapsed during a snowstorm, so after he married the sister-in-law, he moved into her house."
