In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 20 Gou Sheng is Lost
"Alright, one earthenware pot of water for three catties of rice bran."

The housekeeper replaced the rice with rice bran.

Dog-Sheng's mother and the others left the path contentedly, clutching the rice bran they had exchanged.

As they were leaving, the butler reminded them, "Children have been going missing in town lately, so you'd better keep a close eye on the children around you."

Besides Gou Sheng's mother, other women also had children.

Dog-Sheng's mother quickly thanked him, "Thank you for the reminder, Butler Luo."

"Hurry, we need to get back to the village before sunrise tomorrow."

Losing a child now is not the same as losing a child in the past.

The group hurried towards the village.

As dusk fell, Zhang Gousheng and his group had left Yunwu Town and were on their way home.

After walking for nearly an hour, Gou Sheng's mother, with her frail body, could no longer lift the rice bran in her hands.

"Oh dear, Gousheng, Mommy can't carry you anymore, come and help Mommy."

After walking such a long way, she was already exhausted and her back and legs ached, so she decided to ask her son to do a few steps for her.

Dogs didn't respond for a long time.

"Gousheng?" Gousheng's mother called out again.

"Oh no!" Gou Sheng's mother cried out in alarm, "Where's my Gou Sheng?"

"My dog, Sheng, has disappeared."

Ignoring the rice bran in her hand, she threw it on the ground and started looking for someone nearby.

"Gousheng! Gousheng!" she cried out, her cries growing more and more pitiful.

"Swallow's mother, hurry and look for my dog, Gousheng."

"My swallow is missing!" Swallow's mother cried out.

The group panicked when the child went missing.

"My child!" Gou Sheng's mother cried and shouted.

"My dog ​​is missing too! Oh my god, this is killing me!"

"My Chunhua and Xiahua are gone too! Waaaaah! They were just talking about going home to cook rice bran, and then they just disappeared in the blink of an eye!"

"My water supply has stopped!"

"Find it quickly, find it quickly!"

Several elderly women remained relatively calm and offered advice to the people who had lost their children.

How can we find it in the dark?

Daylight broke, but there was still no result.

Several women who had lost their children sat slumped on the ground, utterly distraught. Their children had been perfectly fine with them just yesterday.

“Gousheng and Gouzi Yanzi are seven or eight years old, Chunhua and Xiahua are ten years old, and Laishui and Panshui are over five years old. They couldn’t have gotten lost on their own.”

"But we were all walking together and didn't see any strangers. How could the child have gotten lost?"

"Even if they're lost, how come all seven children we brought with us are gone?"

"That's how the elderly Granny Zhang analyzed it," she said.

"When we were exchanging rice bran, Butler Luo reminded us that a child had gone missing in town. Could it be that they've returned to town? Let's go look for them in town. I don't want to live anymore if something happens to my dog," Dog's mother cried.

"Yes, yes, let's go to town to look."

“It will take one or two hours to go back and forth, and the villagers will get worried about us. Granny Zhang, you and Granny Caihua should go back to the village and let the village chief give us some advice.”

Granny Zhang frowned: "That's all we can do."

Gou Sheng's mother had a sudden inspiration: "Why don't we go and ask the Golden Saint Goddess for an audience!"

She said excitedly, "The Golden Saintess is all-powerful and has boundless magical abilities. She must have a way to find our child."

"We have no direction, so going back to town to search won't help."

"Yes, yes, let's hurry back to the village and go see the Golden Saint Goddess."

Dog's mother cried, "But those two celestial children said that the goddess is in seclusion, can she really help us?"

"Can't we at least try? If something happens to my sons Lai Shui and Pan Shui, how can I explain it to my husband who is fighting in the war? If I lose both my sons, I might as well just kill myself."

“Then let’s all go back to the village,” said Granny Zhang.

With the choice of Jin Sheng Niangniang, everyone's anxious hearts seemed to be soothed a little.

The group immediately set off.

It usually takes three hours to get to the village, but today it only took two. Panting, they rushed back to the village and headed straight for the village chief's house. Gou Sheng's mother wailed, "Uncle Youhe, my son..."

My dog, Sheng, is gone!

The village chief and his wife were playing with Er Ya when suddenly several loud cries rang out.

"Gousheng's mother, what's wrong? Don't cry, what's wrong with Gousheng?" The village chief's wife wiped away Gousheng's mother's tears with a rag.

"Gousheng got lost. We went to exchange rice bran. Butler Luo reminded us that children have gone missing in town and told us to be careful. Who knew that on the way back, Gousheng and the others really did get lost."

"Gousheng, Gouzi, Yanzi, Chunhua Xiahua, Laishui Panshui, seven children were lost all at once."

“This…this…” Village Chief Zhang Youhe’s face turned pale instantly.

"Uncle Village Chief, we were thinking of going to pay our respects to the Golden Saintess and asking her to find Gousheng and the others. Uncle Village Chief, let's go quickly."

The village chief's wife was also anxious: "Old man, what should we do? The Golden Saintess is still in seclusion."

"Aren't there two fairy children left? Let's go and beg them."

Gou Sheng's mother lost her child and desperately wanted to use every method she could think of.

"Let's go up the mountain and ask."

"If all else fails, the whole village will go look for them."

This was the only option Zhang Youhe had.

"Oh!" Gou Sheng's mother cried tears of joy.

The group ran up Qihuang Mountain.

Gu Yuexi was cultivating the Blazing Flame Scripture when suddenly the image of Peach Blossom Village appeared on the water mirror in the center of the main hall.

"The child is lost?"

"Zero One, can you find out where they are?"

If you lose your child at this time, you're really afraid that if you wait any longer, you'll find a pile of bones.

If she had the cultivation level from her previous life, she could have calculated the result with a simple calculation, but unfortunately, she is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining now.

Suddenly I realized that Zero One also didn't have divine power.

She opened the system resource library.

Tracking talismans? Useless. These things must be used on the person in question before the other party can be located.

A divine sense imprint? Useless. This requires locking onto the target with your divine sense beforehand.

[Host, the missing children may be the work of evil spirits. You can send the Five Elements Spirit Children out to search for them. Fire Boy and Water Boy have been in contact with the villagers down the mountain. They can distinguish different scents on people, so finding people will be very easy for them.]

"it is good."

She summoned the Water Boy and the Fire Boy.

“A few children have gone missing down the mountain. You have been in contact with the villagers of Peach Blossom Village, so you should remember their scent. You will be the ones to go out and look for them.”

"Your Majesty, we need some personal items for the children," Fire Boy and Water Boy replied.

"Then let's wait a bit."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please save my poor child!"

Several women's heart-wrenching cries for help came from outside the Shenque Gate.

Zhang Youhe knelt down, wanting to explain the whole story.

Before I could finish speaking, I heard a familiar voice.

"Zhang Youhe, I know what you want. I will send people to rescue the children. You only need to provide their personal belongings."

The Empress is indeed incredibly powerful.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Gou Sheng's mother kowtowed, crying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."

That's wonderful, their child can be saved.

Fire Boy and Water Boy set off with the children's personal belongings.

Gu Yuexi placed tracking talismans on the two of them, allowing her to monitor the progress of the Fire Boy and Water Boy in real time.

Fire Boy and Water Boy disguised themselves and arrived in Cloud Mist Town.

Gu Yuexi saw a scene of corpses strewn everywhere.

Those who are alive are like walking corpses.
