Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality
Chapter 206 The truth spread, and he deserved it.
Ding Lin and Tang Zhenghao successfully reached the back door.
However, the moment the two stepped out of the back door of the hall, the scenery around them suddenly changed, transforming from the familiar city lord's mansion into a dark, dense forest.
The two had never encountered anything so bizarre before. They were immediately terrified and scrambled around, turning to run back to their familiar surroundings.
But when the two turned around, they found that the door they had just run out of had disappeared. The scene behind them was almost exactly the same as the one in front: a dirt road that seemed to have no end and was lined with dense trees on both sides.
"Master, where is this? I'm so scared! Are we dreaming?"
Ding Lin, her face filled with terror and her whole body trembling, gripped Tang Zhenghao's arm tightly, fearing that if anything went wrong, the two of them would be separated.
At this moment, Tang Zhenghao's whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
However, his trembling was caused not only by fear, but also by an inexplicable anger.
How could he, the lord of a city, have ever been treated and suffered such treatment before!
The more Tang Zhenghao thought about it, the angrier he became. He suddenly swung his arm, shoving Ding Lin aside, and roared at the woods with bloodshot eyes:
"Come out! You beast who only knows how to play tricks! What White Snake Lady? Come out if you dare! I'm not afraid of you!"
Ding Lin, who had been forcefully thrown away by Tang Zhenghao, was now sitting on the ground, looking at the crazed Tang Zhenghao with a bewildered expression. She covered her mouth while tears streamed down her face, preventing herself from screaming.
She didn't want to stay here and wait to die with the already insane Tang Zhenghao in front of her.
After having the idea of running away alone, Ding Lin slowly moved backward, then quietly stood up. Seeing that Tang Zhenghao, who was still shouting, had not noticed her or was concerned about her actions, Ding Lin finally made up her mind, turned around, gritted her teeth, and ran forward as fast as she could.
Ding Lin didn't know how long she had been running; at this moment, Tang Zhenghao was completely out of sight behind her.
However, just when Ding Lin naively thought she might be able to escape this hellish place and return home, she discovered that Tang Zhenghao, whom she had left far behind, was now standing in front of her.
Ding Lin stared blankly at Tang Zhenghao, then slowly stopped in her tracks.
Tang Zhenghao had stopped shouting at some point and was staring at Ding Lin, who had appeared in front of him, with a confused and fearful expression.
Two people filled with despair simply looked at each other.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The next morning.
As usual, the maid Xiao Cui got up before dawn, washed and dressed, and went to the kitchen to plan the day's meals. Then she went to the tea room to brew tea for the master.
After finishing all the chores, the sun had just risen, just in time for the lady and the master to get up.
When Xiao Cui arrived at the door of the Madam and Master's room, she knocked several times and waited for about fifteen minutes, but there was still no response from inside. Xiao Cui couldn't help but wonder.
"Strange...did the master and madam have some urgent business to attend to last night?"
After all, this situation has never happened before.
Just as Xiao Cui was about to go to the front yard to inquire, she saw another maid, Qiu Yue, running over with a panicked expression.
"Sister Xiaocui, no, something terrible has happened! Doctor Xu, he, he was bitten to death by a snake in the guest room! White snakes crawled all over the bed!"
"what?!"
Xiao Cui was shocked.
Dr. Xu is a distinguished guest of the master and mistress, and is currently the only person who can cure the young master.
If the master and mistress were to find out that this person had died suddenly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Come on, take me there to see!"
Xiao Cui tried her best to calm herself down.
With such strict guards in the manor, how could so many white snakes appear out of nowhere?
Someone must have done this on purpose!
If she could find out the truth about this matter before the master and mistress were away, she might be able to greatly prevent other servants from being blamed and losing their lives innocently.
Before Xiao Cui and Qiu Yue could set off, a maid rushed in from the corridor leading to the hall.
"Sister Xiaocui, something terrible has happened! Master and Madam have been bitten by snakes and are lying in the main hall, their bodies covered in white snakes!"
……
"How about it? Your enemies who plotted against you have all been executed. Can you calm down now?"
Inside the cave, Jiang Yuchuan looked at Xiaoqing, who was lying on the stone table, and asked with a smile.
Xiaoqing lifted half of her body and nodded.
"I didn't expect you to have done so many things with Xiao Gu during this time, and even earned the nickname 'White Snake Lady'."
Jiang Yuchuan chuckled and joked, "It's a pity that if your believers knew that the 'White Snake Goddess' they devoutly worship is actually a male, I wonder what they would think."
After hearing Jiang Yuchuan's words, Xiaoqing quickly crawled forward a few inches, opened her mouth, and flicked her tongue in protest.
Jiang Yuchuan smiled and shook his head. "Human hearts are treacherous. Consider this a trial for you."
For some time afterward, although Jiang Yuchuan continued to stay in the Ten Thousand Mountains, Xiaoqing and Xiaogu did not save anyone again.
The reasons for this situation are twofold: first, Xiaoqing was heartbroken by the previous scheme and no longer wanted to have anything to do with humans; second, no one has entered the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains recently, and even the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains is rarely visited, as if people are afraid of something inside.
What Xiaoqing didn't know was that the people outside were afraid of her, the White Snake Lady.
The fact that the city lord's family of three, along with the visiting physician Xu Wei, were all bitten to death by the white snake could not be concealed at all, and within just a few days, the news spread throughout Yucheng.
At first, everyone was curious as to why only four people died in such a large city lord's mansion, and why they were all bitten to death by white snakes.
As those with a keen interest gradually uncovered the truth, everyone suddenly realized that all of this was because the city lord, in order to cure his beloved son's illness, listened to Xu Wei's slander and wanted to hunt down the White Snake Lady to obtain her gall bladder as a medicinal ingredient.
After learning the truth, the White Snake Lady's followers were so angry they wanted to dig up the graves of the city lord's family and Xu Wei!
How dare they!
To have harmed the White Snake Lady and end up like this is already an act of extraordinary mercy from her.
In contrast, the innocent servants in the city lord's mansion who knew nothing about the matter were not harmed in the slightest from beginning to end.
This shows that, in addition to doing good deeds, the White Snake Goddess was also a fair and just immortal who rewarded and punished others.
This made the believers even more devout in their faith in the White Snake Goddess, while those who harbored hatred towards the White Snake Goddess completely abandoned their thoughts of revenge because of the incident at the City Lord's Mansion, and all hid their identities and went into hiding.
After all, even a powerful figure like the Lord of Yucheng, with his vast influence and connections, was like an ant in front of the White Snake Lady, who could kill him at will. How could these insignificant people dare to have any bad thoughts?
