Chapter 260 Where did my brother Wei go?
Oh no! I've offended Brother Wei!
Chief Ying gasped and quickly withdrew his palm.
Seeing the divine messenger right in front of him, he exclaimed enviously, "Brother Wei, you are so lucky! The divine messenger actually bestowed holy water upon you!"
Protector Wei was so angry that his face turned ashen.
Is this holy water?! Who sprinkles holy water by the bucket?!
Wei Duhu raised his mud-covered forehead and struggled to get up from the ground, wanting to see who was playing tricks and making him look foolish in public!
Just as he got up, he was suddenly struck hard on the back of his neck. He felt a sharp pain in his neck and fell heavily back onto the water-splattered ground.
"You!" Wei Duhu was about to shout angrily, but found that his throat was blocked and he could not say a word!
Not only could he not speak, but his body was also stiff and he could not move.
Only when the five senses are clear!
Li Qingqing naturally couldn't give Wei Duhu a chance to speak or escape.
Using the deer antler staff as cover, she pressed Wei Duhu's acupoint on the back of his neck, and then, in front of everyone, threw the deer antler staff into her personal space.
The antler staff is a disposable prop, and it's rather crudely made. Just now, the antlers almost went crooked from that one hit, but luckily she had a quick thinking moment.
Of course, no one noticed anything amiss.
All the people saw was the divine messenger waving the antler staff at the leader of the Ying tribe, and then the staff vanished without a trace.
After doing all this, Li Qingqing turned and returned to the center of the altar, talking as she walked.
"The mountain god's wrath has not come without cause! If his anger cannot be appeased, the sweet spring will dry up within three days, and you will all face great calamity!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned pale with fear, and after a moment, they all turned to look at the witch doctor.
Chief Ying didn't bother to examine why Protector Wei had fallen to the ground again, and quickly gave the shaman a meaningful look.
Witch Doctor: ...
Why are you all looking at me like that?!
Oh, right! The divine messenger was summoned by me.
The shaman, sweating profusely, immediately pointed to the two men bound beside the altar and said in a panic, "These two are cursed with misfortune and have offended the mountain god. We were just about to offer them as a sacrifice to the mountain god..."
"Absurd!" Li Qingqing interrupted him sharply.
"You have been blinded by misfortune and have even attacked your own people, nearly causing a great disaster! Untie them at once!"
"The Divine Envoy is wise!" Ana exclaimed immediately upon hearing this, while simultaneously directing the people she had brought with her.
"Quickly, quickly save my father and the others!"
The witch doctor watched as they quickly ran to the side of the altar to untie the ropes binding Ana's father and the young man.
He looked troubled and murmured softly, "I don't know where the calamity lies, I hope the divine messenger can enlighten me..."
"As you all saw just now, the calamity has been trapped by my staff!"
Li Qingqing raised her hand and pointed at Wei Duhu, who was unable to move on the ground, "This person is plagued by misfortune, and this is the root of the disaster!"
The crowd gasped and turned to look at Protector Wei.
No wonder the leader's sworn brother lay motionless on the ground, neither speaking nor shouting.
It turns out that the divine messenger once again displayed his divine power, using the staff that had just disappeared into thin air to trap the calamity!
Upon hearing this, Chief Ying's originally dark face seemed to turn quite pale. He involuntarily shifted his knees, widening the distance between himself and Protector Wei.
Protector Wei, lying face down on the ground: ...
He only regretted that he was unable to move or speak, otherwise he would definitely have given Chief Ying a good beating!
Protector Wei stared intently at Chief Ying, wishing he had knives in his eyes to slash at this fool!
Maybe there is a tacit understanding.
Chief Ying glanced furtively at Protector Wei, only to see him staring intently at him with bloodshot eyes.
That expression was one that had never been seen on Brother Wei's face before.
Chief Ying was immediately relieved. Fortunately, the divine messenger cast a spell and discovered the calamity in advance; otherwise, it would have truly caused a great disaster in the future!
He then realized that Protector-General Wei was, after all, his benefactor, so he asked hesitantly,
"My lord, this man is my sworn brother. Could you remove the calamity from him and spare his life?"
Li Qingqing looked at Protector Wei, deliberately lingering on him for a few more seconds, before slowly speaking.
"To quell the mountain god's wrath, we must sever the calamities! The evil calamities fear the lash of the yang most!"
At this point, Li Qingqing paused briefly, took out a blue-and-white porcelain vase from her spatial storage, and continued:
"Very well, I have a compassionate heart and will bestow upon him a divine medicine to protect his heart. If he can withstand forty-nine lashes without dying, then the mountain god has given him a chance to repent! All of you, rise and join me in praying to the mountain god, so that the sound of the whipping may completely shatter this calamity!"
When everyone saw that Li Qingqing suddenly had a blue and white porcelain bottle in his hand that they had never seen before, they felt that he was incredibly powerful.
They all watched with admiration and envy as Li Qingqing personally fed Wei Duhu a pill.
Chief Ying dared not delay. Once Protector Wei had finally taken the pill, he immediately instructed the soldiers around him...
"Quickly, tie my brother Wei to the stake and obey the divine messenger's orders. Whip him severely and make sure to break the curse on his body!"
As Chief Ying watched Wei Duhu being lifted up by soldiers and tied to a wooden stake, he offered words of comfort.
"Brother Wei, for the sake of the entire clan, please bear with it. The divine messenger has bestowed a divine medicine that will surely save your life! Once the calamity is driven away, I will certainly prepare wine and meat to celebrate Brother Wei's rebirth!"
Upon hearing this, Protector-General Wei became even more agitated.
But he could neither move nor speak, so he could only continue to slash the knife in his eye at the leader of the Ying tribe, one slash after another.
"Crack!" The first whip fell with a whooshing sound, striking Wei Duhu's back, and excruciating pain immediately swept over his entire body like a tidal wave!
It hurts! It's excruciating!
Compared to the pain, Protector Wei felt he had lost all face!
He was actually whipped by a group of barbarians in front of them!
And the culprit behind all of this was actually a so-called divine messenger!
What a shame!
One lash after another fell, but the person wielding the whip had been mindful of the fact that he was the leader's sworn brother, so he controlled the force of his blows.
But as the prayers of the people around him grew louder, the man wielding the whip, fearing the wrath of the mountain god, became increasingly reckless in his use of force.
Wei Duhu's consciousness became increasingly blurred.
Suddenly, he caught sight of Li Qingqing, who was standing at the very front of the crowd, quietly watching him.
Although dressed in foreign attire, that aloof and detached figure instantly reminded him of someone!
Li Qing?! It must be Li Qing! He must be the one playing the trick!
Wei Duhu's face suddenly turned bright red!
He struggled to move his eyes, trying to make out the face, but all he saw was a face wearing a black mask!
A pitch-black mask... a pitch-black mask?!
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the memory of Governor Wei, and he seemed to remember something.
But at that moment, the last whip fell just in time, and everything went black before his eyes; he completely lost consciousness.
The witch doctor carefully stepped forward and checked his breath, then said with delight, "Quick, put him down!"
Upon seeing the shaman's expression, the leader of the Ying tribe immediately knew that Protector Wei was still alive, and a look of relief and joy appeared on his face.
He strode up to Li Qingqing and asked in a low voice, "Divine Envoy, the forty-nine lashes are complete, what do you think..."
Li Qingqing didn't speak. She glanced at the barely breathing Protector Wei, then slowly stepped forward.
The witch doctor, thinking the divine messenger wanted to examine the injury himself, quickly stepped aside to make room.
Everyone looked at Li Qingqing respectfully, waiting for her next instructions.
However, just as Li Qingqing walked up to Wei Duhu,
Everyone just felt a blur in front of their eyes.
The next second, Wei Duhu, who was lying on the ground, disappeared without a trace as if he had never existed!
What about people? !
Everyone was shocked and stared in horror at the pool of blood on the ground that was gradually congealing.
The witch doctor was so shocked that his teeth chattered uncontrollably. "God, God's messenger, where...where has he gone?"
Chief Ying trembled with fear and asked in a barely calm voice, "Divine Envoy, my brother Wei... he's been taken away by the Mountain God?"
Li Qingqing glanced indifferently at Chief Ying, then looked around before finally fixing her gaze on the mountain god statue in the center of the altar, and slowly spoke.
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, he has returned to where he came from!"
