Chapter 40: The Star of Glory

"This! What is this thing ......? ”

When Ju Wuyi saw the photo, the whole person jumped up in fright, snatched the phone, and cold sweat flowed down on his forehead instantly.

The brooch in this photo has a one-dollar coin next to it, so it can be roughly seen that the size is about two and a half inches long and about an inch and a half wide, and it is made of pure golden bronze, and it can be seen that the owner is well-maintained, so there is not much rust.

In the center of the brooch is a hollow carved dragon-like pattern, and under the dragon is a blooming red peony, which looks simple and beautiful.

Wang Xiaoxian stepped forward and asked the two people who were surprised: "I said, Old Man Ju, Ye Gan, what's wrong with you?" Is there anything strange about this brooch? ”

Old Man Ju raised his head and asked, "Little girl, have you always used this thing as a brooch?" ”

"That's right."

Wang Xiaoxian nodded without hesitation and said, "This is the only souvenir my mother left me, when my mother told me that it was a brooch, I thought it was too heavy, so I never wore it on my body, but I always carried it with me...... What's wrong? ”

Ye Qian sighed and shook his head, he knew that it was not so simple to make Wang Banxian ask himself so solemnly, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

He said to Wang Xiaoxian, who didn't know anything: "Xiaoxian, this thing is called the Star of Glory, and it is something that only the saints of the Red Flower Society are qualified to hold...... In other words, your mother is actually a saint of the Red Flower Society. ”

Wang Xiaoxian's brows furrowed, and he asked hesitantly, "Red Flower Society?" Isn't that a gang organization in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and does it still exist now? And you say that my mother is a saint, then ......"

As he spoke, Wang Xiaoxian's face gradually turned pale.

And Ju Wuyi, who heard the name Wang Xiaoxian at this moment, his face also changed, and he turned to Wang Xiaoxian and asked, "Girl, your name is Wang Xiaoxian, is your father Wang Banxian?" ”

Wang Xiaoxian nodded and said, "That's right, my father is Wang Banxian, what's wrong?" ”

"If so, then it's no wonder that this star of glory is in your hands."

Ju Wuyi sighed and continued: "This matter is your family matter, and I don't want to interfere more, but there is one thing you have to remember, your father and mother are all good. ”

Ye Qian walked up to Wang Xiaoxian, put his arm around Wang Xiaoxian's shoulder, and said, "Xiaoxian, it's okay, don't take it to heart, everything has me." ”

Wang Xiaoxian nodded, Ye Gan's arm made her feel a trace of warmth and safety: "Ye Gan, does the Red Flower Society really still exist now?" ”

Ye Qian nodded, his expression was a little solemn: "The Red Flower Society started at the end of the Song Dynasty, since the Song Dynasty, it has always been a factor of social instability, they act secretly, and they are still very active in the late Qing Dynasty, but then they gradually disappeared from the public eye, I only know that they still have a heritage, but I didn't expect that they are still moving around now, and ......"

As he spoke, Ye Qian turned his head to Ju Wuyi: "Old man Ju, since this involves the Red Flower Society, then the eighth old man under your hand is probably ......."

Ye Qian's words were not finished, but the people present already understood the meaning of Ye Qian's words...... Since the Red Flower Club will make a move, and the eighth is missing, it is likely that the eighth is more than lucky.

At this time, the green-skinned sixth suddenly said: "Old ancestor, I'm afraid that the eighth child is not unexpected, but he himself is a nail buried by the Red Flower Society." ”

Ju Wuyi frowned and asked, "How can you think like this?" ”

The green-skinned sixth said: "During this time, I have always felt that something is wrong with the eighth child, and I began to stop eating meat and drinking, and I usually don't go out with our brothers anymore. I originally thought that he had cultivated his mind, but now that you have mentioned the Red Flower Society, I think that he is likely to have been secretly absorbed or bought by the Red Flower Society. ”

The members of the Red Flower Society are vegetarians, do not drink alcohol, and usually burn incense and worship every day, so once they join, their daily life will definitely change.

Ju Wuyi nodded and said, "Okay, I see." Then he turned to Ye Qian and Wang Xiaoxian: "Mr. Ye, Miss Wang, we didn't do it right today, we will find out about the matter of the eighth child as soon as possible, today, please go back first." ”

Wang Xiaoxian originally wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ye Qian, and the two went out directly.

It was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, the sky was dark, the cool night breeze was blowing, and Ye Qian and Wang Xiaoxian were walking side by side on the street.

Walking and walking, Ye Qian said, "Xiaoxian, I'm sorry to let you lose such an important thing. ”

Wang Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I knew that the star of glory was so important, I would never put it close to me." But then again, I remember two masked men barged into my house the other day, are they the Red Flower Society......"

Ye Qian nodded and said, "I wasn't sure before, but now it seems that it should be someone from the Red Flower Society." Xiaoxian, we must be careful in the past two days, we will not go back to the villa for the time being, Lingyuxuan is located in the downtown area, the monitoring system is complete, and the security is more guaranteed. Of course, if it's convenient, we can sleep together. ”

Wang Xiaoxian's pretty face turned red all of a sudden, and he lowered his head and said, "Hooligans, when is it, still thinking about taking advantage of others?" ”

Ye Qian was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted that his words were ambiguous, and explained with a smile: "I didn't mean that, I mean, in order to protect your safety, I will go to your room to sleep, so that it is convenient to protect you." ”

Wang Xiaoxian tugged at the corners of his clothes, and said expectantly: "What do I have to protect?" Like you said, the Star of Glory has been taken by them, what danger can I have? ”

"Xiaoxian, you don't know, if your Star of Glory hadn't been taken away before, you might not be in danger, but now ......"

After a pause, Ye Qian organized his words and continued: "But now the situation is different, the other party already knows that the Star of Glory in your hand is genuine, then it can be determined that your mother is indeed their previous generation of saints. ”

Wang Xiaoxian didn't care: "So what? It's just my mother's business, and now that my mother has died, and they have got the Star of Glory, there is nothing to do with me. ”

"If only it were that simple."

Ye Qian sighed and continued: "You don't know about the Red Flower Society, their countless uprisings in history are not the so-called people's misery, but to satisfy their own selfish desires. The saints of the Red Flower Society are inherited from all generations, unless the saints of the previous generation have no daughters or granddaughters, even then they must be selected by the saints of the previous generation to designate the next generation of saints, and now that the aunt has died, you are the inevitable candidate for the next generation of saints. ”

Looking at Wang Xiaoxian, whose face was pale, Ye Qian felt distressed from the bottom of his heart, but he had to tell the seriousness of the problem now, so as not to let her have the slightest luck:

"With the style of the Red Flower Society, since it can be determined that you have no intention of joining the Red Flower Society to become the next saint, then what they have to do is definitely to rob you openly, no matter what method they use, they will rob you over."

Speaking of this, Ye Qian couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said in his heart, Wang Banxian, Wang Banxian, since you have hands and eyes to the sky and have great abilities, why do you entrust your daughter to me now? What is it that is more important to you than the safety of your daughter?

Although Wang Xiaoxian's face turned pale, he still didn't admit defeat and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go and be their saint...... Since she is a saint, her status in the sect must be very high, what am I afraid of? ”

"Again, if only it were that simple."

Ye Qian shook his head and said, "If I didn't strike you, if the saintess of the Red Flower Society was so good, Auntie would not have broken away from the Red Flower Society in the first place...... The Red Flower Society has been suppressed by successive rulers since ancient times, mainly because of their strange teachings and very ruthless behavior. ”

"The Red Flower Society is thirsty for killing, and the hierarchy in the sect is strict, don't look at the title of saint Maiden It sounds very remarkable, but above the Holy Maiden, there is also a sect master, two venerables, and four messengers who are on an equal footing, in the sect, you must unconditionally carry out any orders of the sect leader."

Wang Xiaoxian pursed his lips and said, "This is how it should be, it's not a big deal." ”

Ye Qian continued to add: "And there is a story of physical charity, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”

Of course Wang Xiaoxian wouldn't know, although there were knowledgeable elders like Wang Banxian and Rob in the family, most of what she told her was in the antique business, and Wang Xiaoxian had been going to school before, with good grades, and basically didn't read miscellaneous books, so she didn't understand these things at all.

Seeing Wang Xiaoxian shaking his head, Ye Qian carefully considered the language: "The so-called physical charity, also known as the physical body, according to legend, Guanyin Bodhisattva once incarnated as a beauty, seduced passers-by on the street, and turned into a skeleton when entertaining, the purpose is to warn the world, the pink skeleton is just a dream bubble, making people quit lust." ”

Wang Xiaoxian's face was red when he heard this, but he still didn't understand what Ye Qian wanted to say: "What do you mean by this, what does the flesh give or something, and what does it have to do with the saint?" ”

Ye Qian said: "In the teachings of the Red Flower Society, the Holy Maiden, as the person closest to the gods, is obliged to give in the flesh, although it sounds good, but in fact, the Holy Maiden is often a gift that the Red Flower Society must offer in order to make friends with big people. ”

In other words, it is to exchange the body of a saint for the generosity of a great man. I think it was in order to escape this fate that my aunt defected from the Red Flower Society. ”

"Say no more!"

Wang Xiaoxian's face was pale, and the scene Ye Qian told made her can't bear to think about it: "I know, I won't go to the Red Flower Society to be that saint no matter what." ”

Looking at Wang Xiaoxian, who was discolored, Ye Qian couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart, walked over and hugged Wang Xiaoxian into his arms, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I won't let you fall into their hands." ”

Although in an instant, Wang Xiaoxian's heart was warm, but in the end, she was reserved and prevailed, she pushed Ye Qian away and walked forward quickly: "Stinky and shameless, who let you protect it?" ”

Ye Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly, if he really has evil thoughts, there are ten thousand ways to make Wang Xiaoxian unable to get out, and at the same time there are at least eighty ways to provoke a woman's lust, as long as these means are used, Wang Xiaoxian will become his person, and it will definitely not make people feel that there is anything wrong, but Ye Qian does not want to use these means to get Wang Xiaoxian.

He likes Wang Xiaoxian, not only wants to get Wang Xiaoxian's body, but what his partner has is not just a sex word.
