Chapter 3 The Priests of the Chu Nationality

Hearing a secret that shouldn't have been heard in the first place can more or less make people worry that they will be silenced.

After Cheng Yunmo was sure that the person was really far away, he continued to look for the green vine wood he liked, but he was a little more careful than before.

Cheng Yunmo found a dark green green vine tree in the depths of the forest, about the thickness of a person's calf. Cheng Yunmo found the tools he carried with him, tossed for about an hour, and successfully got the green vine roots buried deep in the soil.

Because he met the people of the Jade family in Southern Xinjiang in the ancient forest, Cheng Yunmo did not plan to stay too long.

Cheng Yunmo looked for the marks left before and left the ancient forest, and found an inn outside the ancient forest to stay temporarily.

Cheng Yunmo plans to use this piece of green rattan wood to make a folding fan that is easy to fight, and it is best to make her fight both wishful and beautiful.

It's really not easy to ask Xiao Er for a brazier in southern Xinjiang, which is not too cold all year round, and ordinary people probably won't prepare such a brazier.

The inn where Cheng Yunmo lives now is just an ordinary inn, and Xiao Er took a lot of effort to find a brazier from the utility room that no one cared about for a long time.

Cheng Yunmo set up a shelf on the lit brazier and roasted the hard-earned green vine wood on the fire.

Cheng Yunmo spent seven days and nights making a folding fan from green rattan wood, the fan surface was as thin as a cicada's wings, but with a slight force, he used the fan to draw on the tree, and a clearly visible mark remained.

On the fan bone, Cheng Yunmo carved more than 100 blooming ginger flowers.

Cheng Yunmo looked at this newly made fan, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and then took it to the local teahouse.

Cheng Yunmo did not enter the private room when he arrived at the teahouse, but found a seat in the hall and sat down.

Where there are many people, there is a lot of gossip, and the gossip can often be unexpected.

Southern Xinjiang has been very peaceful in recent years, and the latest major event that overturned the situation in southern Xinjiang was more than 10 years ago.

All the families in southern Xinjiang attacked the Chu people, resulting in the destruction of the Chu people.

The Chu people, southern Xinjiang has become the overlord of the past. The Chu clan at its peak is not an exaggeration to say that it is the head of the family.

The family in this world, if it is long, probably only the Cheng family in southern Fujian can stand side by side with it, and it is a family that is too old to be ancient.

The Chu people in southern Xinjiang believe in immortality, and there are patriarchs and high priests, the patriarch is hereditary, and the high priest is a godsend.

It is rumored that the high priest can know the destiny of heaven and measure the future, and the girl who can become the high priest is the child who has the most natural relationship with the immortal heaven.

The last and most talented girl of the Chu clan is Chu Cheng, the daughter of Chu Handeng, the patriarch of the Chu clan.

She is also the wife of the head of the Cheng family in southern Fujian, and the only orphan of the Chu nationality who survived after the fall of the Chu people.

Well...... Speaking of which, the reason why the Chu clan was attacked by a group and quickly destroyed was that the Yu family had a strong sense of presence in it.

It is also a well-known thing that the Yu family hates the Chu people.

The door of the pharmacy opened when it was not the time to feed the medicine, and Jing Mu understood the moment there was movement, about the imperial capital was someone again.

Jing Mu was the only one who was able to leave the pharmacy, but there was a limit to this departure.

That is, whenever someone from the imperial capital comes, he can leave the pharmacy and return to the courtyard where he temporarily lives in the Yu family.

It's all a joke.

This is probably the only benefit that Dingbei's Hou brought to Jing Mu in southern Xinjiang.

No, this is not necessarily the benefit brought to him by the concubine of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, after all, the people from the imperial capital have always had nothing to do with the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

Jing Mu was led to the hall and just saluted the head of the Yu family: "Ancestor." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Zhao Gonggong from the palace say with concern: "The second son seems to have lost a lot, but he has been unwell recently?" ”

"Thank you father-in-law for your concern." Jing Mu said politely.

Gonggong Zhao looked at Jing Mu carefully, dressed in light-colored clothes, which made Jing Mu, who had some baby fat, look warm and harmless. Although the clothes on his body were worth a lot, Jing Mu's face was sickly pale.

It's like not seeing the sun for a long time.

Zhao Gonggong himself had a number in his heart, he came all the way from the imperial capital to southern Xinjiang this time to follow the emperor's order, to see how Jing Mu was doing.

Gonggong Zhao smiled: "The emperor knows that the prince is not in good health, so he specially asked our family to bring some high-quality medicinal materials." ”

"Thank you for your concern." Jing Mu smiled politely.

The ancient house of the Chu people, because no one has taken care of it all the year round, has long been deserted, and it is completely impossible to see the prosperity of the year, and only a ginger flower proves that the Chu people really existed.

Cheng Yunmo looked at her mother's hometown, and her heart was full of tenderness. According to the world's records of the Chu people, the ancestral hall of the Chu people was built in the place closest to the immortal heaven.

Now that she has arrived at the hometown of the Chu people, as the daughter of the descendants of the Chu people, she should go to worship.

Cheng Yunmo looked around and walked towards the highest place of the Chu clan. According to the records in the "Chronicles of the Chu Nationality", the highest place of the Chu nationality is the center of the Chu nationality. But the Chu people are really big, and even if it took Cheng Yunmo several hours to get to the place until the center, he didn't stop hurrying to the place.

But he didn't expect that the ancestral hall of the Chu clan, which was supposed to be worshipped, was guarded.

"Who?"

If you don't know the situation, you can't hit it head-on. Cheng Yunmo said with a three-point smile and some trepidation: "Unfortunately, I am lost, dare to ask Your Excellency where is this?" ”

The reason Xu is looking for seems too perfunctory and not very sincere. One of the other parties sneered: "Get lost and get caught here, you are also a talent!" ”

As he spoke, he began to move his hand. Seeing this, Cheng Yunmo also launched a battle with the wooden fracture fan he carried.

Although the Cheng family started with the arrangement of the armor and the art of war, since the beginning of the Min Dynasty, the Cheng family has guarded the northern frontier for generations. Although he is a military advisor, he is also very good at fighting in order to have enough self-protection ability in times of war.

What's more, when you go out to practice, you inevitably have to fight so many fights. The Cheng family sent their children out for training, not to let them go out to die, so basically everyone in the Cheng family has practiced martial arts.

Cheng Yunmo waved a folding fan so fast that blood stains were left everywhere the other party touched.

Although the other party made a killing move, it looked like he was going to kill her. But the people who sent them over didn't expect that on this day, the strength of the fight was really not good.

Although there are several people on the other side, Cheng Yunmo has gradually taken the lead. After successfully killing someone, she heard the other person shouting, "Don't fight, withdraw!" ”

Cheng Yunmo didn't show mercy after they were weak, and fighting was destined to offend people, so when one of the other party left alive, Cheng Yunmo still felt very regretful in his heart.

I regret that I didn't make an assassination mechanism on this fan.

Cheng Yunmo put away a little regretful thoughts, and carefully looked at the legendary Chu clan ancestral hall.

Weathered and dilapidated, what is there in it that deserves to be guarded?

Cheng Yunmo entered the ancestral hall, looking like he had been baptized by fire, and occasionally there was a low coughing sound. There is no tablet for the ancestors of the Chu people, if it weren't for Cheng Yunmo to confirm that the ancestral hall of the Chu people is here, I am afraid that the two will not be linked.

Cheng Yunmo walked in the direction of coughing from time to time, and found an old man with gray hair who looked to be over half a hundred years old sitting in the apse of the ancestral hall.

She looked up at Cheng Yunmo and said in a very hoarse voice, "Who are you?" How did you get in? ”

"Who are you?" Cheng Yunmo asked rhetorically, and did not answer her words: "Why is it in the ancestral hall of the Chu clan?" ”

Cheng Yunmo guessed that maybe those people just now were probably guarding her instead of guarding this ancestral hall?

"I'm from the Chu tribe." The old woman replied.

People of the Chu tribe?

Cheng Yunmo frowned: "Didn't the old man look at me young and make up a reason to deceive me at will?" ”

As we all know, after the fall of the Chu people, only Chu Cheng, the wife of the Cheng family, survived.

"I'm Chu Yue, a priest of the Chu clan."

Cheng Yunmo was silent for a while and said, "How do you prove that you are from the Chu clan." ”

Chu Yue pointed in a direction: "There is a bottle of medicine in a white jade bottle in the dark grid, you apply that medicine to the center of my forehead and eyebrows, and it will not be long before the Chu clan pattern will appear." ”

Cheng Yunmo took the medicine out of the dark compartment and applied it to the center of her eyebrows.

After a while, a blooming ginger flower appeared between the eyebrows, elegant and noble, symbolizing the innate righteousness of the priests of the Chu nationality.

"Cheng Yunmo has seen her mother-in-law." After Cheng Yunmo confirmed the identity of the other party, he politely saluted and asked Andao.

"It is rumored in the world that no one in the Chu clan has survived except Chu Cheng, but I don't want my mother-in-law to be safe." After a pause, he said, "I saw a few people guarding here before I came in, aren't they guarding my mother-in-law?" ”

Chu Yue shook his head: "They are waiting for the orphans of the Chu clan to come back to mourn." Yu Mingzhe hated the Chu clan very much, and Chu Cheng was still alive, so he was unwilling. ”

Cheng Yunmo thought about it for a long time before he came up with who was Yu Mingzhe in Chu Yue's mouth?

"Mother-in-law said that she is the head of the Yu family?"

"Exactly."

"Then since he hates the Chu people so much, how could he leave his mother-in-law's life?" Since the group of people were staying here just now, they obviously knew about Chu Yue's existence.

But they didn't touch her.

Chu Yue seemed to recall something extremely painful, she closed her eyes, and even her tone was very painful: "Because I was Yu Mingzhe's wife." ”

Chu Yu marriage? Cheng Yunmo didn't know if she was too lonely and unheard, and she had never heard of it.

"Chu Yu marriage?" Cheng Yunmo said very sincerely: "The marriage of the family is a big deal, why have I never heard of it. It's a rumor, and there hasn't been a word. ”

"It's not a marriage." Chu Yue paused: "It's elopement." ”

The person who escaped from Cheng Yunmo's hands stumbled back to Yu's house, ran to the hospital and shouted, "Oh no." ”

The head of the Yu family frowned and scolded, "What do you look like in a panic!" ”

"What happened?"

"Someone made a big fuss about the ancestral hall of the Chu clan, and everyone else died except for his subordinates."

The head of the Yu family was stunned: "What person?" ”

"She looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl."

"Is she alright?" The head of the Jade family suddenly came out with a sentence that had no beginning or end.
