Chapter 218: Enlightenment
Jin Ling was sent back to her room by the old man of Tianji, and seeing that Jin Ling was still uncomfortable, he said worriedly, "But it's uncomfortable, I'll go and cook you some sobering soup." β
Jin Ling hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, this drink is very strong, it's okay to slow down, you go and see Ruhuan, I'm a little worried." β
The old man of Tianji looked at Jin Ling with some hesitation, Jin Ling glared at him impatiently, and scolded, "You go quickly, if there is anything to do with Ruhuan, I will not finish with you." β
The old man of Tianji had to go out, thinking that there was no maid around Jin Ling to serve, they were all a group of old men, so he went to call Xiaohua to take care of her, so he left with confidence.
By the time he went to the banquet, most of them had dispersed, except for a group of young children who were still playing around the bonfire, and the clan elders had disappeared.
The old man of Tianji also began to be vigilant, he didn't dare to ask at will, so as not to startle the snake, so he only began to look for the ancestral hall of the Wu clan.
It's a pity that when he quietly touched the ancestral hall of the Wu clan, it was dark inside, and there was no one at all, where was Ruhuan taken by them?
Qiushuang waited for almost half a cup of tea in the courtyard next door, then she couldn't sit still, stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by the Wu clan guard at the door, and asked with a smile, "Where is the girl going?"
Qiushuang's eyes flashed slightly, and she answered, "It's too stuffy in the house, I'll go out for a walk." β
The guard didn't look unusual, and replied with a polite smile, "At this time, it's dark outside, what's there to go, the girl should wait here longer, it is estimated that the saint will come out in a while." β
Qiushuang responded, "In that case, I'll go to the entrance of the ancestral hall and wait." β
This time, the guard of the Wu clan didn't speak again, Qiushuang stood up and walked towards the door, and kept an eye on the movements of the guard at the door, and saw that the guard at the door did not make any other movements, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
But she never expected that as soon as she walked to the door, she felt dizzy in her brain, and began to gradually lose consciousness, and fell towards the door.
Ji Ruhuan followed the patriarch of the Wu clan into the courtyard, walked forward to the main hall, looked at the slightly simple ancestral hall in front of him, and frowned slightly, "Is this the ancestral hall of the Wu clan?"
This should not be as good as their Ji family ancestral hall, how can the ancestral hall of a tribe be smaller than their family ancestral hall?
The patriarch of the Wu clan opened his mouth and responded, "I am ashamed to say that the original ancestral hall was burned by the traitor of the Wu clan, and I, the patriarch, are also deeply sad, and I don't know how to go down to face the ancestor of the Wu clan. This ancestral hall was built later, and it is certainly not as simple as the original ancestral hall. β
Ji Ruhuan replied, "This traitorous clan is really hateful, and the traitor is just that, why did you set fire to the ancestral hall?"
The patriarch of the Wu clan sighed and replied, "Who said it wasn't?" The holy woman waited in the ancestral hall for a while, and Rong Lao went to call a few old people to come over and enter the family tree for the holy woman. β
After speaking, the patriarch of the Wu clan turned around and left, leaving Ji Ruhuan in this ancestral hall.
Ji Ruhuan had already drunk some wine, and he was not vigilant at all, and he was still looking around in the ancestral hall, only wondering why the patriarch of the Wu clan had not come for so long.
Until she began to faint, Ji Ruhuan went over to the futon and knelt down, stretched out her hand to rub her forehead, and muttered to herself, "This wine is so strong, no wonder people like Sister Ling who can drink are also a little drunk." β
After that, Ji Ruhuan felt hotter and hotter, at first I thought I was drunk, but the more I got to the back, the more wrong it became, Ji Ruhuan was about to get up and go out to see what was going on, I didn't want to stand up yet, so my legs fell on the futon and began to lose consciousness.
At this moment, the door of the 'ancestral hall' was pushed from outside, and the Wu clan patriarch came in with a tall and strong woman from the outside and asked, "Are you ready over there?"
The woman replied, "Patriarch, everything is ready, just waiting to send the holy woman over." β
The Wu Clan Patriarch looked at the Holy Maiden who fell to the ground and nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, I'll leave the rest to you." β
The woman answered, went over to Ji Ruhuan, picked Ji Ruhuan up, and walked out the door.
The patriarch of the Wu clan watched the woman walk away with Ji Ruhuan in her arms, but she had no intention of following.
When the Wu clan patriarch came out of this courtyard, he saw a group of clan elders who were originally at the banquet, all guarding the gate of the courtyard at this time, and when they saw the Wu clan patriarch coming out, they all gathered around and asked, "How?"
The patriarch of the Wu clan responded, "Wait, few of us Wu Clan's medicine can resist." β
One of them said worriedly, "But there is no cure for that thing, if the holy woman resolutely refuses, then isn't there a worry about her life?"
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the patriarch of the Wu clan, "The old man was soft-hearted back then, you don't know what the consequences are, don't worry, no one can resist the medicine that the old man dispenses." β
"So what if it doesn't work out this time?"
The patriarch of the Wu clan pursed his lips and replied, "If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time, and the raw rice will be cooked into cooked rice, even if there is a fiancΓ©?"
Seeing that no one had any objections, the Wu clan patriarch spoke, "Let's go, don't stay here, go back and wait for the good news." β
The group soon dispersed, and the door of the courtyard was quiet again, and after a while, a person quietly appeared at the gate of the courtyard, it was Feng Miaozhi, the old man of Tianji who was looking for Ji Ruhuan everywhere.
He quietly sneaked into the courtyard, and it was quiet, flew up to the roof, looked left and right, and then quietly dived past the bright room.
I heard the voices of the two of them talking not far away.
"Why hasn't there been any movement inside?"
"Wait, the effect of the drug must not have taken effect yet. β
"Hey, why did you take such an errand, what do you say this saint will do if she blames us in the future?"
"Do you dare to disobey the patriarch's orders?"
"Hey, forget it, take one step at a time, anyway, our Wu clan is also the patriarch who has the final say. β
Feng Miaozhi looked over at night, and saw two mothers-in-law guarding the door of a room, sitting on the edge of the threshold and whispering.
After a while, there was movement in the house, Feng Miaozhi frowned slightly, didn't dare to hesitate any longer, sneaked over quietly, and didn't wait for the two women to react, and didn't give the women a chance to find him at all, so he lit the sleeping hole of the two and lay down at the door.
Feng Miaozhi pushed open the door, there was a strange fragrance inside, the candlestick was burning with a dim candle flame, and the sound of shallow breathing came from the curtain not far away.
Feng Miaozhi's brows furrowed even tighter, and he walked past the bed in three or two steps, and lifted the curtain......
