Chapter 307 Breaking the Formation (2)
Gu Yuchuan had just stood up from the bed when he felt a headache coming on. He felt that everything in front of him was unreal, as if he didn't belong to this world at all. However, the formation had temporarily blinded him, and he couldn't remember anything at all. He could only wait for the magic power in his body to slowly break through the formation's restraints before he could remember.
The question now is whether the formation can kill him before he remembers it, or whether he can survive and break through the first layer; both are possible.
He pushed open the door in front of him, and two young men with sticks stood in front of him, blocking his way and preventing him from leaving. When they saw him, the two sticks crossed.
Gu Yuchuan was furious and instinctively wanted to reprimand them, but suddenly he didn't know where he got the confidence to dare to clash with the guards. These were the guards of their small fishing village; they could kill them if they wanted.
The slightly taller one on the left is called Dazhuang. He has his eyes wide open and looks quite energetic.
"Gu Yuchuan, is now the time for you to come out? I advise you to go back properly and not make any sudden moves, otherwise, be careful that the two of us don't give you face and take action against you. When that happens, we'll break your legs. You'll be the one who suffers."
A flame rose from Gu Yuchuan's heart, and he exuded the aura of a superior. He stared at Dazhuang, who, despite losing his memories and magic, still retained the arrogance in his bones. This was something inherent in every dragon, passed down from the ancient times, and could not be stopped by a mere array. Dazhuang was frightened by his gaze.
But in an instant, Dazhuang straightened his chest. How could he feel fear from a down-and-out guy? He was a member of the guard team, while the other party was just a weakling who didn't know any martial arts. If others found out, they would laugh at him.
He gripped his long stick tightly, his tone becoming even more menacing: "What are you looking at? Get back now, or I'll really make you fight."
He was already a little exasperated. Gu Yuchuan knew that he couldn't win a fight; his opponent really would break his legs. He decided to retreat first, otherwise, if his legs were broken, it would be even more difficult to plan his next move.
Sitting on this simple bed, he began to sort through his memories and understood why he had been placed under house arrest. It all started with the severe drought that had lasted for three months. Now was the time for crops to grow, but the drought had caused their crops in their small fishing village to grow very poorly. So, they decided to offer sacrifices to the river god.
Logically, the river god sacrifice should be performed using unmarried virgins or young boys and girls. However, their small fishing village was too poor. Families with virgins or young boys and girls were either martial artists or had considerable wealth. For example, the village chief's grandson and granddaughter, and Li Zheng's eldest daughter, all met the requirements. But they were unwilling to do so. Therefore, they started looking for other methods. In the end, they discovered that orphans could also be used.
There are indeed two orphans in the small fishing village, and Gu Yuchuan is one of the unfortunate ones. However, it is still under discussion who should go. They said they need to calculate their birth dates and times to see whose birth chart is compatible with water, and then choose the one. This process will take time, so for now they are both under house arrest. After all, they are two adult men, and they are always afraid that they will escape.
Gu Yuchuan looked at the two burly figures outside the door. He knew the chances of escaping were slim. His small body was weak, and he couldn't possibly defeat the two men in front of him. What should he do? He was unsure of what to do. However, he wasn't going to give up easily. He had no chance during the day, so he would see if he could find an opportunity at night. He was determined to escape.
As for worshipping the river god, righteous gods don't need to be worshipped; only evil gods do. The river god here is definitely not a respectable being, and may not even exist; it's just a deity imagined by these villagers. Even if they were to offer sacrifices, it wouldn't be of any use.
"Wait, how does he know this information? He's just an ordinary person who has never left the small fishing village. How would he know these things? Where did he get them from?"
Gu Yuchuan clutched his head in his hands and began to struggle on the bed. His head ached terribly, as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember exactly what it was. However, he was certain that it was something very important, and once he remembered it, he could solve his current predicament.
The two people outside also heard the commotion inside. Dazhuang, who was already upset with him, shouted it out directly.
"I advise you to save your energy and stop making any more futile struggles. Even if you die here, we will not let you out. You'd better behave yourself or I'll go in and teach you a lesson."
After a long while, Gu Yuchuan finally relieved his headache, but he still couldn't remember anything. However, he felt that his mind was working better. Although he hadn't truly broken free from the formation's constraints this time, he had made a further step forward. Maybe if he had another chance, he would remember who he was, and then he could break the formation even better.
He looked at the two people outside the window, not knowing what to do. Finally, night fell, but the two outside dared not relax at all. They also knew that nighttime was the easiest time to do things. Inside the room, it was pitch black. Someone of his wealth could not afford an oil lamp.
He secretly peered out the window, and the two men were also secretly observing him, but it was pitch black, and they couldn't see clearly.
Gu Yuchuan realized that his opportunity had come. He immediately began to make a dummy out of straw in the quilt. From the outside, it looked as if he was still lying there, while the real him had already run out from the back through the hole under the bed.
No one knows that he dug the hole under the bed years ago for self-defense. After all, he was all alone and most vulnerable to accidents, so it became his lifeline.
After he went out, he could still see the two people in the distance. He tried his best to conceal his tracks and ran out quickly. Soon, he reached the outside of the village. At this time, the two people also realized that something was wrong and started shouting. Soon, a group of people chased after them.
After leaving the village, Gu Yuchuan ran very fast, hoping to survive.
But he found that there seemed to be an invisible barrier blocking his way. He didn't know why, but he felt a sense of despair. How could he possibly escape like this? Was he really going to die here?
