Mu Xiaoxing saw that Lu Jian was so cautious, and couldn't help asking, "Where did she go?" ”

Lu Jian returned to the room with his hand: "Aren't you just walking around?" ”

Where else can I go? Could it be that she still wants to go on a date with the person surnamed Lin to go to Kyushu and the four seas.

When Mu Jiu arrived at the Nantian Gate, Lin Jianru was already waiting, and when he saw her, he smiled slightly, and he couldn't see his feelings.

There is a teleportation formation to the mortal world under the gate of heaven, and because it is approved, it can be enjoyed. After handing over the slip to the heavenly general at the gate of heaven for the case, the two of them will activate the formation and go to Luoyang, the capital of the Ning Dynasty.

This is a space parallel to the Sui, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties where Mu Jiu lived, and the names of the wind and land are all the same.

It is the season of the spring breeze and the green embankment, and the Shangsi Festival is a major event of the Ning Dynasty, but the appearance of the Chenshi, the banks of the Luoshui River are now full of young men and women.

The folk customs of the Ning Dynasty were relatively conservative, and the women of the boudoir rarely had the opportunity to go out.

However, they are allowed to go out to play during the festival, and they will not be blamed for their contact with unmarried men. Literary and artistic freshmen will play music in the stream on the bank of the Luoshui River, borrow the piano to express their hearts, or show their talents, ** silk is a lot more direct, will use heels or pull hair to express love, of course, there are more direct, it is not enough.

All in all, the Shangsi Festival is like the Valentine's Day in later generations, and there is always some news about immorality after each time, but the court has no choice, because it is said that the emperor and the empress of this dynasty met at the Shangsi Festival.

Fortunately, if there is an accident, if it is a famous family, they cover up the matter in private, and if it is a commoner's house, then simply do the marriage, and there is nothing difficult to solve. In this way, the emperor turned a blind eye, and everyone was happy.

Mu Jiu walked all the way along the embankment and heard the above gossip.

Of course, in addition to gossip, there are also many stalls selling things along the way.

Mu Jiu took a look and discussed with Lin Jianru from time to time, but Lin Jianru was absent-minded along the way and didn't know what he was thinking.

And his footsteps never stopped, and when he arrived at the foot of the Jiuqu Bridge, he suddenly looked up again, pointed to an alley on the right and said, "Let's go inside and go around." ”

The alley is just a very ordinary narrow alley, the bluestone pavement winds and turns, and on both sides are two-story small wooden buildings, and the foot-wide ditch between the wooden buildings and the stone pavement reflects its old shadow. There is some moss growing on the walls of the house, and there are tenacious creepers, and wild chrysanthemums and spring greetings can be seen everywhere.

On both sides there were clothes drying on bamboo poles, and there were also the sounds of women beating and scolding children.

Lin Jianru had no distractions, and walked to a low courtyard wall in the middle of the alley and stopped.

Under the courtyard wall, there was an old woman with unkempt white hair sitting in the sun turning over the fleas in her clothes, and when she turned over, she happily twisted it into her mouth and bit it, and the crunchy sound seemed to be audible from afar. A cat with a salted fish suddenly popped out of the courtyard, and the old woman had sharp eyes, took off her rag shoes and chased after her: "You brute! Let you steal my salted fish to eat! ”

Mu Jiu didn't understand how Lin Jianru stopped here, and looked up at him, but saw a hidden pain in his slightly drooping eyes.

Her heart moved slightly, and she said, "You know her?" ”

Lin Jianru pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Mu Jiu looked at the old woman again, her back was bent and unkempt, she was really no different from the dull woman in the market.

"She's my mother." Just when Mu Jiu gave up exploring, Lin Jianru suddenly spoke.

"Your mother?" Mu Jiu's whole person was messy. He has lived for four hundred years, isn't this old woman also cultivating immortals?

"This is her afterlife." Lin Jianru glanced at her, his voice became gloomy, and his smile was a little miserable: "Are you interested in listening to me tell a story?" ”

Mu Jiu couldn't say that he didn't listen, so he nodded.

Lin Jianru said: "My mother was originally the daughter of a salt merchant in the capital of the country of Koto, in the east of Kyushu, and was frightened by the mountain demon when she was fifteen years old and fell into a coma for many days. My grandfather then asked for help from the Underworld Sect to send people down the mountain to eliminate demons. Lin Xie came with the order, but he concealed his wife's room and lied to my mother for him, and then there was me. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Later, my grandfather found out that she was pregnant and forced her to recruit a man, but she refused, and took me in her belly up the mountain to find Lin Xie, only to know that he not only had a wife, but his wife was also very powerful." My mother gave birth to me prematurely due to fatigue and blows, and then Lin Xie poisoned the decoction, but she followed Lin Xie without regrets, and in the end she didn't know how she died.

"But Lin Xie did more than that."

He looked faintly at the old woman who was beating the cat not far away, "He is afraid that after my mother's death, the ghost will sue her, and his soul will be summoned on the Huangquan Road to injure her primordial spirit, making her stupid and ignorant for generations." What you see now is her second life after being killed by Lin Xie, in the previous life, she was abandoned by her children because of her stupidity, and finally fell into the river and drowned.

In this life, her father married her to a butcher, and she was beaten and scolded by the butcher for half her life, until the butcher died ten years ago and was spared the pain of flesh and skin. Because of Lin Xie, she is destined not to have a good time in her life. ”

His voice was like a ball of mud thrown into the water, becoming low and muddy.

Although Mu Jiu had seen many similar things, he seemed to feel the pain buried in his heart at this moment.

"Did it scare you?" He smiled and turned his head.

Mu Jiu hurriedly waved his hand: "Of course not!" ”

He smiled again, then took out a large bag of broken silver the size of lotus seeds from his baggage, walked over and placed it on the pestle where the old woman had sitted.

After returning, he continued: "Fifty years ago, I inquired about her whereabouts, and secretly came to see her, but when I returned, my wife broke my left leg on the grounds that I had gone down the mountain without permission. From that time on, I swore that I would definitely break away from the Hades Yuan Sect and the Lin family, so even if I was just a foundation builder, I fought half my life to get the qualification to go to the Heavenly Court.

"Not only do I have to change my fate, but I also have to change her fate in my lifetime, so that she will no longer suffer in her future reincarnation. She was my mother after all, and if she hadn't taken the risk to give birth to me, she wouldn't have me. But at the moment, I can't do much more than come and see her once in a while. ”

Although he was smiling all the time, and his feelings didn't fluctuate much, Mu Jiu was in a very heavy mood when he heard it.

She thought he was just an ordinary illegitimate child, but she didn't expect that there was such a deep entanglement behind it.

"And have you figured out how to do it?" She said.

He shook his head: "Anyway, the first thing I will do when my spiritual power is enough is to repair her Yuan Soul." ”

Mu Jiu nodded.

Only by repairing the Yuan Soul can she change the fate of her future life.

He has such a strong willpower, and she admires it. (To be continued.) )
