If the purpose of the vampire bride's appearance was really to lure him over, then Tang Hao could only think of the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain. Just like what Yu Ji said, as long as he was in Mei Family Village, the vampires would not dare to make a move, but... What was the purpose of luring him away from Mei Family Village?
Was there some important treasure hidden in Mei Family Village?
Or, what did the vampires want to do in Mei Family Village?
He could not get the answer for the time being, but no matter what, he had to rush back immediately.
"Daoist priest, you should come with us too."
Tang Hao looked at the sloppy old Taoist. Although this guy claimed to be a swindler, his words and actions were very insightful, and he had a calm temperament, more like a Taoist than a real Taoist. Tang Hao had already classified him as a hermit, and with his current situation, he needed such a person to help him analyze the situation.
Of course, in terms of wisdom, Kaguya and Patchouli were not bad, not to mention there was also the scheming Amethyst.
But there was a saying, the onlooker sees the game clearly, while the onlooker sees the game clearly.
Turning this saying around, the onlooker sees the game clearly, and the onlooker sees the game clearly.
In the end, whether it was him or Amethyst, they did not belong to this era, or even this world. They had a huge vision, and could stand on the perspective of God to look at these things, but because their vision was too broad, it was easy to miss some small details. After all, some things, only people of this era could understand.
"Lord …" However, the old Taoist had a bitter face, "Lord is an outstanding person, and the fairy is also unparalleled in battle. This lowly Taoist is just a swindler, trying to make a living. How can I be your companion? If I encounter an enemy, I can neither fight nor resist, wouldn't I be a burden to the two of you? Since this matter is over, why don't you let this lowly Taoist leave, this lowly Taoist will be very grateful!"
"Oh, do you really think so?" Tang Hao looked at him and smiled.
The old Taoist hesitated for a few seconds, and suddenly took out a prescription from his pocket, and handed it to Tang Hao, "Lord, this is a secret recipe passed down by my ancestors, I can give it to you for free."
"Hmm, alright." Tang Hao took it with a smile, and the old Taoist breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave with the wine pot, he heard Tang Hao say, "If I remember correctly, Taoist Priest just questioned His Majesty's method of governing the country, and your words were quite disrespectful. If His Majesty knows about this … he will be beheaded."
The old Taoist's body shook and his eyes widened. "Sir, you're not keeping your word!"
Tang Hao blinked innocently. "Why do you say that? What have I promised you before? "
"Uh …"
The old Taoist was dumbfounded. Thinking about it carefully, Tang Hao had indeed not agreed to anything just now. Even the reply of "Alright" was only to accept his secret formula. But … but wasn't this kind of thing obvious? Everyone knew about it. Why did you have to say it in front of him? You obviously accepted the things and did not want to admit it!
The old Taoist was so angry that he glared at him, but there was nothing he could do.
At the same time, Yu Ji said, "Old Taoist, I think you should just admit it. Maybe you're smarter than him, but when it comes to being despicable and shameless, you're not even worthy of carrying his shoes."
The old Taoist deeply agreed. He just didn't expect Tang Hao to be so shameless.
"How can that be called shameless? I'm just being righteous." Tang Hao rolled his eyes at Yu Ji, then patted the old Taoist's shoulder and said with a smile, "Taoist Priest, you don't have to be angry. Let's take the matter of the Vampire Bride as an example. If we hadn't arrived in time, you would have been in a difficult position. Speaking of which, we saved your life, and my Ah Yu even taught you how to use the Eight Trigrams Furnace. You saved your life and learned the technique. Now that I'm asking you for a small favor, you're actually making excuses.
"… Sir, you're so eloquent!" The old Taoist cupped his hands, his face like a bitter gourd.
Tang Hao smiled innocently, "Not only am I eloquent, my heart is also fair. I'm working for His Majesty. If you help me, you'll be helping His Majesty. When the time comes, I'll put in a few good words for you in front of His Majesty. Maybe I can even let you be a royal alchemist. Isn't that great? "
"Sigh, sigh, sigh …" The old Taoist let out a long sigh and suddenly slapped himself, scolding, "What nonsense is this broken mouth of mine talking about? Who told you to be so cheap! Who told you to be so cheap! "
After a few hits, Tang Hao grabbed his wrist, "I won't stop you if you like to harm yourself. After all, everyone has a masochistic heart. However, we don't have much time left. Let's go on our way first. If you're interested, you can slap me as you walk."
I'm not interested in self-mutilation!
The old Taoist secretly cursed and looked up at him, "Sir, that little Taoist's ancestral secret recipe …"
Tang Hao immediately put the recipe into his pocket, "Since you gave it to me, it's mine! Could it be that you want to take it back? "
The old Taoist's face was ashen as he sighed, "… Sir is so fair!"
Yu Ji didn't understand what he meant and asked curiously, "What ancestral secret recipe?"
Tang Hao smiled knowingly, "It's said that it's a secret recipe that can bring you happiness. Sigh, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go."
Although they had talked for a while, it had only been less than three minutes. The three of them left the River Village and immediately rushed to the Mei Family Village. Tang Hao's physique had long since surpassed that of ordinary people, and Yu Ji was the True Ancestor, so there was no need to say much. Both of them walked as if they were flying, and only the old Taoist was still in the category of ordinary people. However, when the two of them ran at full speed, he was actually able to keep up with them steadily, which made Tang Hao look at him in a new light once again.
Of course, it could also be because he was often chased out because he cheated for food and drink, which was why he had developed this set of foot skills.
In less than half an hour, the Mei Family Village was right in front of them. From afar, everything in the village was the same as before. There were only a few figures walking in the village, and there was still some smoke floating in the sky. It looked as peaceful as ever.
But …
"Wait!"
Suddenly, the old Daoist stopped in his tracks and said anxiously.
Tang Hao stopped and turned to look at him with Yu Ji, "What's wrong with the Daoist priest?"
The old priest shook his head and did not say anything, but his gaze towards the Mei Family Village gradually became serious. He looked around, and a few of his fingers moved as if he was calculating. After a few minutes, he finally looked at Tang Hao and cupped his hands, "Master, in your eyes, what is this Mei Family Village?"
Tang Hao was startled, he turned around and instinctively replied, "A village."
"Then take a closer look at its shape."
"The shape …" Tang Hao narrowed his eyes. He had never paid attention to the shape of the village. The houses in the village were all on both sides, and there was a straight road in the middle. At the entrance, there were two mounds of soil that were concave outwards, making the entrance of the village look a little sharp. If he had to describe it, it looked like an arrow.
"May I ask, sir, where is this arrow pointing?"
Tang Hao turned around again, and his expression changed. Because he saw something in the distance – Xianyang Palace!
This arrow was pointing straight at Xianyang Palace.
"The target is Emperor Qin?"
Tang Hao could not help but exclaim. He subconsciously linked all the things that had happened before. First, there was the vampire incident in the Mei Family Village, then Emperor Qin sent him here in the name of training him, then he was assassinated by the vampires, followed by the appearance of the vampire bride, which lured him away from the Mei Family Village …
Normally, these things were very ordinary, but he already knew that the actions of the vampires were controlled by an important person. This person, of course, could not be Qin Shi Huang. If he wanted to deal with him, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
Then, the most suspicious point was exposed from the beginning – why would the vampires commit crimes in the Mei Family Village?
The Mei Family Village was not far from Xianyang, and it could be considered as the foot of the Emperor. With Emperor Qin's prestige of unifying the Central Plains, no one in the world could match him. Because of him, many wandering Daoists were attracted. They either gathered in Xianyang or outside the city. Under such circumstances, why would the vampires still dare to commit crimes in the foot of the Emperor?
Be it Zhao Dadan or the vampire bride, they were not mindless ghouls. They had a clear plan, but they still did it. That meant … it was very likely that Emperor Qin was the real target of the vampires!
"Sir is wise." The old Daoist bowed, "Based on my experience in Fengshui, someone wants to use the Mei Family Village as an arrow. Once the bow is drawn, it will definitely shoot through Xianyang."
Yu Ji looked at him in surprise, "You know about Fengshui?"
The old Daoist smiled humbly, "A little, a little."
Tang Hao asked him, "In your opinion, is it time for the arrow to be drawn?"
The old Daoist shook his head, "Still one point short."
Still one point short? Could it be that this point was for him?
Tang Hao said. This answer was a little ridiculous, but he could not help but think so.
"Then are we still entering the village?" Yu Ji asked.
Yes, the question had changed. Should they enter the village or not? Would entering the village bring good or bad results?
Tang Hao looked at the old Daoist, but the old Daoist also shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
Tang Hao did not blame him. The old Daoist could see that someone was using the Mei Family Village as an arrow. This was already very impressive. If it was not for him, he and Yu Ji would have rushed in without knowing anything.
"We don't know either."
Amethyst's voice came from the live chat channel. Ever since Tang Hao arrived at the River Village, the video call had been on. But they were after all outside the situation.
But … maybe there was a way to verify it.
According to different choices, the world line would have different changes. This was what he learned at the Stone of Destiny.
"Let's go."
"To where?"
"To Xianyang."
Tang Hao did not dare to gamble with the lives of the three of them, or even the future of the world. Since he knew that Mei Family Village was strange, he would not rush in stupidly. As he rushed to Xianyang, he took out his phone and paid attention to the mission progress.
As long as there were no changes, then at least his choice would not be wrong.
As for Mei Family Village … maybe he could only give up.
However, just as Tang Hao arrived at the entrance of Xianyang City, the mission progress changed.
From 10% to … 9%.
Damn, I can't enter Xianyang!
