Chapter 2460: Actually, There’s a Way Where You Don’t Need to Move

“Everyone get ready to leave. Don’t take too many things since it will affect the speed of our journey.” The high priest waved his hand. “Go back and pack up your things.”
“High Priest, where will we go?”
“Let’s start moving first. We’ll settle down in an appropriate place. We’ll be leaving shortly and we’ll be avoiding cities and towns,” said the high priest.
Some people couldn’t help but shed tears.
Migration could really become a near-death situation for them. During the journey, they would be exposed to the sun. They might even die on the way.
When the high priest finished speaking, Ning Shu coughed and said, “Actually, there’s a way where you don’t need to move.”
“How?” The high priest asked. He didn’t want to force the entire village to move unless he had to.
Ning Shu said, “Give me your mermaid pearl. It will serve as the heart of the formation. You can use it to arrange a concealment formation.”
“Is that possible?” The high priest asked with uncertainty.
Ning Shu said calmly and collectedly, “If you don’t try, you can only move. You said that your children will die if they’re exposed to the sun. If they die, your clan may go extinct.”
“Give me the mermaid pearl. If it fails, we can think of a new plan,” said Ning Shu.
The high priest was conflicted for a while, but he eventually went to the ancestral shrine to take the pearl and give it to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu started forming hand signs while asking the villagers to help move some stones for the formation.
She arranged a very large spell formation to hide the entire village. This way, no one outside it could see them.
At the same time, she arranged an eight-trigram battle formation around the village that would cause people to lose their way and stop them from entering the village.
She took advantage of all the trees and stones surrounding the area.
Ning Shu spent a lot of effort on these formations and used all the knowledge she’d accumulated.
The high priest asked with some uncertainty, “Will this really work? We can’t be seen?”
The high priest practically had the word ‘unreliable’ written on his face.
“The spell formation around us will cause anyone to lose their way.”
“High Priest, I’ll show you.” Ning Shu took the high priest out of the village and turned left and right, making his head spin.
“It’s such a difficult path, what should we do when the villagers go hunting?” asked the high priest.
They stayed in the village most of the time, but they also went out.
Herbs could help them temporarily resist sun damage.
“At those times, you can open up a path just for the villagers,” Ning Shu said.
The high priest nodded repeatedly. “This is good, this is really good.”
“How can we repay you? Why do you want to help us?” asked the high priest.
Ning Shu said sadly, “I want to find somewhere where I can live well.”
“You could go anywhere with your ability,” the high priest said. “These methods are just like those of great experts.”
Ning Shu smiled and said, “I don’t have that ability. There are plenty of skilled people in this world.”
“High Priest, can you give us mother and daughter a place to live?”
The high priest repeatedly agreed and told the villagers that there was no need to move away. There was no need to mention how happy the villagers were.
The high priest asked the villagers to help Ning Shu build a house.
A few days later, the thatched hut was completed. Since the village was located deep in the mountains, there were many snakes, insects, and poisonous ants, so the house was raised above the ground.
It was moisture-proof and wasn’t bad at all.
Ning Shu’s new home was soon filled with all kinds of things gifted by the villagers, such as dried meat and fresh vegetables.
The high priest also sent a little wild boar to Ning Shu for her to raise.
Ning Shu wanted to say that she already had a cow and didn’t want to raise any more things. Now she had a cow, a pig, and a child to care for. It was exhausting!
However, it was hard to back away from such great kindness, so Ning Shu could only accept it.
The people here were more cordial, simple, and honest than those in the village at the foot of White Cloud Temple.
Ning Shu cleared the area in front of her house for plowing and planting vegetables. Of course, many people helped her plow the land.
