I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Chapter 136 Goddess

Coming to Gu Nian'an's side, Jiang Wei turned around and waved towards the temple gate, "I will come back to see you later."

A white figure stood quietly at the temple gate, with clusters of milky white light flickering slightly as if saying goodbye to Jiang Wei.

Gu Nian'an held Jiang Wei's hand and walked a few steps. After thinking for a while, he took out a purple-red fruit from his arms and placed it on the steps. This was compensation for his previous rash action.

Afterwards, Gu Nian and Jiang Wei slowly disappeared into the depths of the woods.

Until the two people disappeared, the white figure still stood there in a daze, motionless.

"Snapped"

A piece of fallen rock hit the figure in white light on the head. She looked up at the crumbling temple, and then at the criss-crossing cracks in the temple square, and suddenly she felt like crying but had no tears.

Her home, her temple.

This...this won’t collapse, will it?

She quickly turned back to the temple, straightened the statue that had been tilted by the aftermath, and carefully wiped off the ashes on the statue. She felt a little relieved at this moment.

Fortunately, the statue was fine. It was her life. If the statue was destroyed, she might be gone too.

But when she looked up at the hollow roof, she felt a little sad again.

This is their last shelter. If this is gone, they will have nowhere to go in the future.

As if sensing the sadness of the white figure, balls of milky white light surrounded her and emitted a faint glow, as if comforting her, telling her not to worry.

Just at this moment, a ball of milky white light wrapped in a purple-red fruit floated in front of her.

Looking at the fruit that was brought to him, the white figure swallowed subconsciously. There was a strong spiritual fluctuation on the fruit.

He had used up a lot of his divine power to save that child last night, and had just been beaten up by that terrible human.

I'm really weak now. If... if I eat this thing, it should be able to replenish a lot of spiritual energy.

He stretched out his finger and poked the purple-red fruit. The white figure was a little confused. The man just now was really scary.

She could see a terrible dark smoke emanating from that person, and that smoke was like a huge mouth of the abyss that wanted to devour everything in the world at any time and anywhere.

"Gudong"

Before she could react, the milky white light ball stuffed the fruit directly into her mouth, and she swallowed it subconsciously.

The figure in white light blinked confusedly at his eyes that were filled with white light.

"laugh"

The moment she swallowed the fruit, a layer of light golden light spread from her body.

At this time, the statue was surrounded by balls of light and holy colors complemented each other, making the woman next to the statue look like the most perfect deity in the world.

But it only lasted for a moment. Despair appeared on the face of the white figure, and her body began to swell unnaturally, as if she was about to burst.

Ha ha!

It turns out that you shouldn't trust someone who doesn't look like a good person.

This must be poisoned, it must be poisoned.

Pulling Jiang Wei to walk through the difficult forest, Gu Nian'an slowly squatted down after thinking for a while.

"Xiao Wei, the mountain road is not easy to walk on. This place is not close to your mother. Come on up. I will carry you on my back so it will be faster."

After a slight hesitation, Jiang Wei gently supported Gu Nian'an on the back.

After carrying Jiang Wei on his back, Gu Nian'an stood up and sped up a little.

"Brother Gu, how did you find me?"

Hearing the question from the child behind him, Gu Nian'an told the truth, "I am a Taoist priest, and I know a little bit about fortune-telling."

"Then Brother Gu, you found me through divination."

"Um"

"Then Brother Gu, can you teach me later?"

Hearing the words of the child behind him, Gu Nian'an smiled bitterly and shook his head. "My master is quite proficient in the art of divination. As for me, I can only be considered a half-baked one. I was busy practicing martial arts before. Although I have done some research on divination, I can only calculate some very basic things."

However, what Gu Nian'an didn't say was that although he could only calculate very basic things, his calculations were extremely accurate, and did not require any rituals or waste of energy, and there were no side effects at all.

As for the principle behind this, he himself is not clear, it is probably his talent.

"Then Brother Gu, can you teach me martial arts from now on? I just saw that you are really good."

He paused for a moment, but this time he nodded gently, "If you have time, and if you don't mind that I can't teach you anything too advanced, then that's fine."

Hearing Gu Nian'an's agreement, the little child lying on his back lit up with joy in his eyes.

"Then we have a deal. From now on, whenever Brother Gu has time, he must teach me martial arts."

"Well, yes."

After walking for a while, Gu Nian'an noticed the silence of the child behind him and couldn't help but ask, "What is Xiao Wei thinking about?"

"Brother Gu, do you know where people go after they die?"

Hearing the child's question, Gu Nian'an's expression changed slightly, and his tone became a little low, "He should go to the underworld."

"Then why are those who get lost in the mountains unable to reach the underworld after death?"

"Maybe they still have obsessions, or maybe there are still people they want to see."

After answering the child's question, Gu Nian'an was a little dazed and couldn't help but stop walking.

Would the master and junior sisters have obsessions? Have they really gone to the underworld?

"Brother Gu, Brother Gu, what's wrong with you?"

The clear voice of a child woke him up. Gu Nian'an suppressed his guess in his heart and continued to walk deeper into the woods.

There is no point in thinking too much now. As long as he has enough strength, he will find his master and sister no matter where they are.

"I am fine."

"Brother Gu, am I really useless?"

"Why do you say that."

"Not only did I fail to protect my mother when she was in danger last night, but now I'm making her worry. I clearly promised my father that I would protect my mother, but...~"

Gu Nian'an could hear the self-blame in the child's words and couldn't help but comfort him, "Don't think too much. You are still young now. When you are older and your martial arts skills are more proficient, I believe you will do better than me and protect your loved ones better."

After Gu Nian'an finished speaking, he did not get a response from the child. He turned his head slightly to look at the somewhat lost child, thought for a moment, and then asked:

"Xiao Wei, can you tell me about the goddess?"

He actually didn't have much interest in the figure wrapped in white light, but changing the subject at this time might make Jiang Wei feel better.

As expected, after hearing Gu Nian'an's question, Jiang Wei's expression immediately improved a lot, and even his voice became a little lighter.

"Brother Gu, the goddess is so powerful. I got separated from my mother and the others last night. It was too dark and foggy, and there were many monsters in the forest. I was a little scared and started looking for my mother and the others."

"Later, I was discovered by two monsters. They kept chasing me until I heard the voice of the goddess. She pointed me in the right direction, and I ran all the way following her guidance.

When I came to my senses, I found that the monster behind me had disappeared, and a temple appeared not far away from me. Later, I saw the goddess in the temple, as well as the souls of the dead who died in the mountains. "

"They told me that they have been wandering around and can't find a way out since they died in the mountains."

"Later, it was the Goddess who found them and provided them with a place to stay."

After listening to Jiang Wei's narration, Gu Nian'an's eyes flickered slightly. It sounded like this goddess was a pretty good deity.

However, what you hear is not as good as what you see. He would only believe 10% of Jiang Wei's description and would not think too much about the rest.

I probably won't have any contact with that goddess in the future, so whether she is good or bad has nothing to do with me.
