Chapter 318 Don’t blame me for what happened back then!
Naitang was making a "squeaking" sound. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at it and said, "Hurry up and move all these things out. Naitang is making such a sound, so someone must be coming."
There were many of them now, and they quickly moved these things back through the small path.
There were still some usable ones, so Niu Dazhuang asked the villagers to take them back.
Lin Dasheng and his group originally wanted to come in to see if they could find some good stuff, but they found that they couldn't leave at all.
They were surrounded by poisonous insects in three layers, and the quack was dumbfounded: "The treasure in my bamboo tube is specially used to deal with these poisonous insects, snakes and ants. How can it be ineffective?"
Lin Tugen was embarrassed, and he still wanted to get a piece of the pie!
A young woman suddenly stood up, cleared her throat, and broke the silence: "I have another method here, do you want to try it?"
Lin Tugen looked at her anxiously and said, "What can you do? As long as you can get these things done, you can ask for anything you want."
The woman smiled and said, "If I really get rid of the poisonous insect, I will only need three things when I go in. How about letting me choose first?"
Lin Tugen nodded and said, "Okay, after we go in, you can choose first."
The woman placed the alchemy furnace in her bag on the ground, then took out a pill from her arms and threw it into the furnace, and then lit the fire at the bottom of the furnace.
Then he kept chanting something, holding a talisman in his hand, and soon the talisman paper was lit.
The poisonous insects were attracted by the elixir and swarmed towards the elixir furnace frantically. Once they got close to the elixir furnace, they instantly became ferocious and started biting and devouring each other.
For a moment, the sounds of insects chirping and gnawing were intertwined, and the scene was chaotic and terrifying.
But in the blink of an eye, the area around the furnace was filled with the corpses of poisonous insects, stacked layer upon layer, so dense that it made people's scalps numb.
The young woman stood aside with a faint smile on her face.
In the end, a huge, red scorpion won the final victory.
Its pincers opened and closed, as if it was making a final struggle, but it could not resist the temptation of the furnace and slowly got into it.
Seeing this, the woman raised her lips slightly, quickly closed the lid of the furnace, and said with a sigh, "Let's go now!"
Lin Tugen was extremely anxious and ran towards the witch temple at full speed.
Before we arrived, thick smoke was already billowing towards us, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.
As we got closer, we saw flames rising into the sky. The Witch Temple was crumbling in the raging fire. The flames were licking every corner of the temple, illuminating the night sky red.
"Oh no! Someone is setting fire to the witch temple!" Lin Tugen was horrified.
The Daohua Village chief followed closely behind, stumbling and nearly falling. He rushed forward, roaring, "Whoever dares to burn down our witch temple must be tired of living! Let's put out the fire!"
When everyone arrived at the witch temple, the heat wave hit them in the face, making it difficult to get close.
Zhao Qiaoniang and Madam Bai stood not far away, looking at the fire with complicated expressions.
Zhao Qiaoniang sighed softly, "Let everything here rest in peace! Those human-skin drums, and the root of this evil, all vanish with this fire!"
Niu Dazhuang knelt directly on the ground, tears flowing uncontrollably. He looked at the fire and muttered to himself, "I hope my daughter will be born into a good family in her next life, and not be born into a family like ours.
"father……"
Niu Dazhuang's body stiffened, and he saw only a thin figure slowly walking towards him.
Niu Dazhuang's eyes widened, his lips trembling as he stammered, "Taohua, is that you?"
The girl slowly raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes. She nodded vigorously and called softly, "Dad, it's me..."
Niu Dazhuang couldn't bear it any longer, rushed towards the girl, hugged her tightly in his arms and said: "Girl! Girl! I didn't expect you to be alive."
Taohua threw herself into his arms and cried non-stop: "Dad... I'm not clean anymore... Wuuuuu... I'd rather die."
Niu Dazhuang touched her head and said:
"What's the point of living or dying? It's not like Dad can't support you. As long as you survive, that's all that matters.
Don't think about it, it's all because of Dad's uselessness!"
Taohua wiped her tears and looked at a thin figure not far away and said, "Zhou Fan, come here quickly!"
Zhou Fan then slowly walked over. Niu Dazhuang saw him and said angrily, "Why did you call him over?"
Taohua whispered, "Dad, Zhou Fan saved me many times..."
Niu Dazhuang said angrily, "This time, Zhou Fan's father, Zhou Cheng, almost killed everyone in our village. If our village hadn't met a noble person, we would probably have all been bitten to death by poisonous insects."
"Ah?" Taohua didn't expect it to be like this.
Niu Dazhuang looked at Taohua and asked, "What's going on between you two?"
Taohua sighed and said:
"Dad, Zhou Fan and I already had a child. When you sent me away, they originally planned to make me into a human-skin drum.
But when they discovered I was pregnant, they were unable to do so and had to lock me up in the tunnel below."
At this point, she choked, took a deep breath, and continued:
“As for Zhou Fan, there is a dark wizard who particularly likes him.
All of us boys and girls were taken into the tunnel. It was not a place for human beings to stay. We were tortured to death.
They drag us up there whenever they have something to do and make us serve those beasts."
Taohua's body trembled slightly, her eyes full of pain:
"I have wanted to commit suicide so many times. If Zhou Fan hadn't encouraged me, I wouldn't have made it this far.
I never thought that I would actually see you one day.”
As he spoke, tears fell like beads from a broken string.
Zhou Fan, who was standing aside, had a dull look in his eyes and stood there blankly.
At this moment, the anxious roar of the Daohua Village chief came from not far away: "Fire, put out the fire quickly!
He slowly turned around and saluted Niu Dazhuang, his voice low but firm: "I'm going to find my father now and ask him why he helped the dark wizard to harm you?"
He rushed to Zhou Cheng, who was directing the villagers to put out the fire. He caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
In an instant, he felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, his legs softened uncontrollably, and he collapsed to the ground with a thump.
Then he tumbled and crawled backwards, shouting in fear: "Ghost... ghost, you... you are Zhou Fan! This has nothing to do with me, so don't blame me!"
"Don't blame me for what happened back then!" Zhou Cheng shouted at the top of his lungs:
"It's all because of you that I have to like that girl from the Niu family! If you didn't have this intention, I wouldn't have done this at all!
If you want to seek revenge, don't come to me! That elder has taken a fancy to you, and I can't protect you!"
Zhou Fan was stunned. After he was captured and taken to the Black Witch Temple, he was taken directly to the courtyard of an elder.
