Chapter 304: Pride for Parents
Suddenly, a man in black attacked her side, grabbed the umbrella in her hand, and the hidden weapon hidden in her sleeve struck at Jiang Chuge.
"If you don't believe it, I'll show you." She opened the wrapped cloth, it was indeed a red umbrella, and seeing that Qin Ying was still staring at her, her eyes were crooked and she smiled; "You don't think I stole something, do you?"
"Where are you going with an umbrella?"
"Ghost City."
"What are you doing in the ghost market?"
Qin Ying's eyes sank, damn it, why would he save her, and even care about her safety?
"You're asking so much, are you worried about me?" Jiang Chuge held the umbrella and looked at him with clear eyes and a smile.
Qin Ying turned his face away; "Heh, this king will worry about you?"
"Then I'll go first, thank you for the rescue."
After losing his memory, he was still a dead arrogant, Jiang Chuge left with an umbrella, and the corners of his mouth under the veil were lightly raised.
Ghost City.
"Jiang Chuge, why are you here?"
Jiang Lanzong saw Jiang Chuge walking into the house with something, put down his pen and smiled.
"Jiang Lanzong, do you recognize this ghost?"
Jiang Chuge put the red umbrella in front of Jiang Lanzong's table, Jiang Lanzong was stunned, and looked up in doubt; "An umbrella?"
"Well, it's not an ordinary umbrella, this umbrella let me take it to the ghost market, and on the way I met a few men in black, and their target is this umbrella."
Jiang Chuge has seen a lot of bizarre and strange things, but the first time he saw an umbrella, why did those people grab this umbrella? Is this umbrella valuable?
Jiang Lanzong took the umbrella and looked at it, looking at it as an ordinary umbrella.
"Senior Brother Jiang!"
Hongyan walked into the house with the dumb girl, and when she saw Jiang Chuge, Hongyan smiled and said; "The Night Princess is back?"
She stepped forward and saw the umbrella in Jiang Lanzong's hand; "Senior Brother Jiang, what are you doing with your umbrella?"
When the dumb girl's gaze fell on the red umbrella, she was suddenly stunned, and her expression was obviously wrong.
"This was brought by Jiang Chuge."
"Night Princess, what are you doing with a red umbrella?" Hongyan is a little puzzled, it's not raining, and you still have an umbrella when you go out?
"This umbrella was brought to me, I don't know what kind of umbrella it is."
The dumb girl suddenly stepped forward to dodge the umbrella in Jiang Lanzong's hand and threw it away, waving her hand desperately to make gestures.
Jiang Lanzong looked at her in surprise and got up; "You've seen this umbrella in the woods?"
The mute girl nodded and continued to gesture with her hand.
"Senior Brother Jiang, what will she say?"
Hongyan couldn't understand sign language, and Jiang Chuge couldn't understand either, so he could only ask Jiang Lanzong.
Jiang Lanzong turned his head and said to Jiang Chuge; "How did you find this umbrella?"
"I saw a flash of red light, and then I saw it on the wall of the alley, and this umbrella is quite weird."
The dumb girl picked up the red umbrella and opened it, suddenly pointed to the window, and gestured to Jiang Lanzong in horror.
Jiang Lanzong waited for them to see the window, and then looked at the dumb girl who took her hand down, and she waved her hand.
Hongyan stepped forward and took the umbrella in her hand to hold it, but there was nothing strange about it?
"Little mute, what's wrong with you?"
"Hongyan, put the umbrella away and put it down." Jiang Lanzong's tone was calm and his face was serious.
Hongyan was stunned, put away the umbrella and put it away.
Jiang Lanzong walked up to the dumb girl and raised his hand to put it on her shoulder; "Dumb girl, you said you could see those dark shadows with this umbrella?"
The dumb girl nodded, and Hongyan was instantly frightened, only feeling a swishing swish on her back.
"See a dark shadow? What a dark shadow, why can't I see anything? ”
Jiang Chuge stared at the little mute, a golden light flashed in her eyes, and she was surprised that she couldn't see the little mute's life!
Jiang Chuge took the hidden woman to Jiang Lanzong's residence, Jiang Lanzong was just pondering about the dumb girl, and only got up after seeing the hidden woman coming; "Hidden woman, why are you here?"
"Big boss, there is something I have hidden from you for thirty years, and it's time to tell you frankly."
"You sit down first, talk slowly, I know you have your troubles."
After the hermit sat down, she spoke slowly; "You were willing to take me and the girl at the beginning, I and the girl are grateful to you, in the past 30 years, you have never asked me and the girl where they came from, let the people in the village take care of me and the girl like this, I am willing to do things for you, in fact, my grandfather's name is Ji Rufeng, the Ji Ru clan is the hero of the Xiao Dynasty, but when it came to the generation of the ghost king, the Ji Ru clan ended up all over the house, and the only one who survived was my grandfather."
The surviving Ji Rufeng survived for a long time, lived an incognito life, and continued to marry a woman and have children, which was able to continue to the generation of the hidden woman, after the fall of the Xiao Dynasty, the Ye clan rose and changed the Zhao Dynasty, but there have always been some secret forces of the Xiao Dynasty for hundreds of years.
Those people are loyal to the ghost king, and they also believe in the doctrine of eternal life, they are all believers in the ghost king, they are believers in the previous dynasty, and they are also believers in the descendants of the Xiao family, and the decline of the Ji Ru clan is because of them.
Jiang Chuge lowered his brows, sure enough, the power of the Xiao family's descendants existed, but fortunately, Xiao Wen fell into his own hands.
If Xiao Wen was killed, these believers would definitely resist.
"Hidden woman, do you know those people?"
Jiang Lanzong asked, and the hidden woman nodded, the reason why she lived in seclusion in the ghost market as a killer was to beware of these people coming to the door.
"There are many surviving clans in the previous dynasty, all of whom were killed by them, and they don't dare to rebel against the Night Royal Family now because they are waiting for an opportunity."
"What chance?" Jiang Chuge frowned.
"A chance to resurrect the Ghost King."
"Resurrect the Ghost King?" Jiang Lanzong was surprised, how could a person be resurrected after death?
Jiang Chuge lowered his eyes and said when he thought of something; "Do you want to find a way to live forever and bring the ghost king back to life?"
"Not bad."
Jiang Lanzong held his chin and said; "The secret of eternal life is the rumored treasure of the Seven Residences, why don't they look for the treasure of the Seven Residences?"
"Because the treasure of the Seven Houses Diagram does not exist at all, this is a cover to deceive the world." Jiang Chuge spoke quietly, and the hidden woman nodded.
Jiang Chuge smiled, grandpa Tai wanted to find Qisu to save his wife, but in the end, he was deceived by the ancients.
Because he has seen the complete map of the Seven Nights, and carved the complete picture of the Seven Nights on the wall, but he still cannot find the way to eternal life......
Even if Master Guiyi placed those fragments in the Hanzhou Mausoleum, they would be snatched by the world.
Jiang Lanzong's tone was deep; "Those people know that the Seven Houses Diagram doesn't exist, but why do they still believe in the existence of eternal life?"
"Because it has something to do with psychic."
Jiang Chuge paused and said with a smile; "I've seen it over there, we have Manju Sawa there, I don't know it's hard for you to see any of them here......"
Yin Po watched Jiang Chuge stand up tremblingly; "Night Princess, I know you are extraordinary, but old woman, I implore you to help the girl."
Jiang Chuge helped her, and when he saw that she was a little excited, he calmed down and persuaded her; "Yin Po, if you have something to say, don't worry."
"Hidden woman, does this have anything to do with the dumb girl?" Jiang Lanzong's tone was calm.
Jiang Chuge glanced at him, and finally looked at the hidden woman.
The Hidden Woman nodded and said; "The dumb girl is not my own granddaughter, she is a child I brought back through Yongwang Village when I was on a mission in the ghost market, and she was only four years old at the time."
Yin Po was already a killer in the ghost market at that time, she had been tracking down the whereabouts of the believers all her life, and stayed overnight in Yongwang Village, but something big happened that night, the people of Yongwang Village were bloodied by those believers, the entire village was annihilated by the fire, and the villagers were slaughtered.
She remembers this incident vividly, and she wants to save it but can't do anything about it.
And then, she saw a lonely and helpless little girl standing in the midst of the fire.
The fear in her eyes made her stunned and at a loss, she couldn't watch innocent children suffer, so she took action.
The hidden woman recalled the scene at that time, and it can be said that she saw it for the first time in her life.
She rushed to the little girl's side and protected her behind her, while she fought the believers to avenge the people of the Jiru clan.
However, there were many believers, and she was unable to do it alone, and just when she thought that she would be killed by the believers, the fire was full of bright red immortal flowers, and the immortal flowers were wrapped around the believers, and their bodies were quickly burned out.
And at that time, she learned the identity of Xiaodu, the descendant of her psychic.
Because of this, the hidden woman concealed her identity, took her back to the ghost city to carefully protect her, and claimed to be her granddaughter, in order to prevent believers from finding her whereabouts.
Jiang Lanzong lowered his eyes and slowly spoke; "No wonder, she would be safe and sound when she trespassed into that forest, and even knew where the tomb was."
Thinking of the abnormality of the little mute in the forest at that time, now that I know her identity, I understand it a little.
It's just that there are really any psychic people in this world?
"Why is that red umbrella so important to those believers?" Jiang Chuge asked again.
"The red umbrella is made of the blood and bones of the previous generation of psychic, and believers believe in the power of ghosts and gods, believing that the red umbrella can find psychic people for them."
Jiang Chuge pondered, no wonder those people wanted to kill themselves and recapture the umbrella.
It was already night when she left the ghost market, and the streets were dimly lit.
Jiang Chuge always looked preoccupied, the only psychic she knew was the Lonely Twins, but now Xiaomute was actually a psychic.
Could it be that the psychic who lived in the previous dynasty and built the Mausoleum Palace of the Seven Sons was the Lonely Twins?
She stopped, passers-by came and went, and the people sitting on the stalls on either side seemed to be drinking tea, but they didn't move their cups.
"Jiang Chuge!"
Jiang Lanzong suddenly appeared, put his hand on her shoulder, Jiang Chuge turned his head in surprise, Jiang Lanzong smiled; "I'll send you back."
It seemed that he sensed that there was a crisis everywhere, and the hand on his shoulder sank, hinting when he met Jiang Chuge's gaze.
Jiang Chuge said with a smile; "Then it's troublesome for you, big boss!"
"No trouble." Jiang Lanzong walked side by side with her, and when he passed by the two tables of people, Yu Guang glanced at it obliquely.
Those people calmed down and didn't rush to make a move, thinking that they also sensed that Jiang Lanzong was not simple.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Chuge asked in a low voice.
"The hidden woman is worried about you, because you are being targeted by the believers about the umbrella, so I came here."
"Those people followed." Jiang Chuge tilted his head, as if he wanted to fight to the death.
Jiang Lanzong smiled; "Don't worry, the three fat men and Hongyan are nearby."
Jiang Chuge was stunned, it turned out that the three fat men and Hongyan were also here, was it an ambush?
"Let's go!" Jiang Lanzong pulled her away quickly.
The people behind them saw them quicken their pace and hurried to follow.
Qin Ying stepped lightly on the eaves and looked at the street, and soon, he saw two familiar figures, his eyes sank, wasn't the man who pulled Jiang Chuge away the Boss Jiang of Guxing?
What is their relationship?
Thinking that Haoyue said that she was married, could it be that this Boss Jiang is her husband?
At this time, they saw several people following behind them, and even separated to outflank and chase them from another road.
Jiang Chuge and Jiang Lanzong came to the uninhabited streets, and when the two stopped, they saw that those people had already arrived in front of them.
"Hand over the umbrella and spare you from dying!" The man in the lead pointed at them and spoke.
"A broken umbrella, why bother with each other?"
Jiang Lanzong's tone was light and light-hearted, even if there were many people on the other side, he did not waver or nervous.
"Broken umbrella? What do you people know, hurry up and hand over the umbrella! ”
"What if you don't?"
