Chapter 33: Imposters
This woman was so skinny that she could still see that her facial features looked exactly the same as those of the pure cicada, so much so that I blurted out the words, 'Why could it be you?'.
However, I also want to know that they can't be the same person, are they sisters?
I secretly guessed the identity of this woman and the reason why she was locked up here.
"Who are you?"
"Y-Who are you?"
We spoke at the same time, but her voice was barely audible.
I squatted in front of the wooden cage and asked her, "Are you the sister of the Pure Cicada Immortal Gu?" ”
"Sisters? Haha............... "The woman hissed and laughed as if she had heard a big joke.
The sadness in the laughter was palpable, and my heart trembled.
As soon as I was about to speak, the woman asked me, "You are Lin Zhiyuan's new apprentice, right?" ”
"Lin Zhiyuan?" I was stunned for a moment, I didn't know who Lin Zhiyuan was.
"It's the one who harmed me!" The woman gritted her teeth, and her eyes burst with hatred.
"The person who hurt you, could it be—" I was shocked and didn't continue.
Although I could guess who she was talking about, Lin Zhiyuan's name sounded like a man, and I really couldn't believe it would be a pure cicada.
The woman seemed to see through my thoughts, and sneered, "Lin Zhiyuan is a man, a ridiculous man, in order to occupy the magpie's nest, he actually disguised himself as a woman and replaced my identity." ”
"The current Pure Cicada Fairy Gu is a man pretending? So, you are the real Pure Cicada Immortal? ”
I seem to be unbelievable, but in fact, I have already believed seven or eight points in my heart.
Otherwise, 'Jing Cicada' is a good woman, why would she pinch my waist?
If that 'pure cicada' is an imposter disguised as a man, it can also explain the ambiguous voice behind the statue.
"That's right, I'm the net cicada, Lin Zhiyuan, this brute.................."
Jing Cicada told me everything that Lin Zhiyuan's master and her master are brothers and sisters, so they are also brothers and sisters.
Two years ago, Lin Zhiyuan didn't know what was going on, so he brought a female apprentice to join her.
Lin Zhiyuan proposed to live in Qingfeng Temple for a long time, but Jingcicada disagreed.
After all, there is a difference between men and women, and they are both cultivators, and if they live together, it will cause criticism and affect the reputation of the Taoist temple.
Who knows, Lin Zhiyuan actually drugged and plotted to purify the cicada, he was average, but he didn't know where to learn the superb disguise technique.
He disguised himself as a pure cicada and occupied the Qingfeng Temple.
Lin Zhiyuan spared the life of the pure cicada, only killed her apprentice Minghui, and announced that Minghui died of illness.
This secret cave was set aside as a way back when the temple was built, and now it has become a prison cell for imprisoning the pure cicada.
Lin Zhiyuan asked his apprentice to change his name to Mingyue, and continued to accept apprentices.
He did this to satisfy his lust.
Except for those who have just entered the view like Mingxuan, the other apprentices have become his lovers.
Jing Cicada has tested the Dao Gu who came to deliver the food, so she probably knows the situation in the outside world.
"You don't even know who I am, so you dare to tell me, aren't you afraid that I will harm you?" I asked.
Jing Cicada suddenly smiled, "Little girl, you are Ah Ling, right?" ”
I was surprised again, before I came to the Taoist temple, I had only heard my grandfather talk about the pure cicada, but we had never met.
I didn't expect the net cicada to reveal my identity, no! She asked me who I was at first.
Jing Cicada saw my doubts, "When you were a child, I saw you. ”
It turned out that the net cicada had something to do back then, and went to the town to ask for help from my grandfather, and saw me when I was a child.
What impressed her the most was my lameness, and after so many years, she didn't recognize me at first.
And if I were a new Daogu, I wouldn't know about it.
Jing Chan guessed that I was a guest of the Taoist temple and would live in the temple, probably because she was an old friend without her knowledge.
She didn't have a lot of friends, so she thought of her grandfather at once, and happened to notice that my legs and feet were inconvenient.
"I'm Ah Ling!" I'll admit it, it's hard for her to remember my name.
"In a blink of an eye, you're so old." The net cicada was very emotional.
"You told me so much that you want me to save you?" I said.
Jing Cicada shook her head, "No, I don't want you to be deceived. ”
I was slightly stunned, but I thought she was good, and I had the idea of saving her.
But I'm still in the 'wolf's den', and it's a problem to get out.
After thinking about it for a moment, I said, "If I can get out, I'll find a way to save you." ”
The cicada was about to speak, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Her face changed drastically, "Someone is coming, you should hide!" ”
There is only one big wooden cage here, and there is an empty passage outside, where can there be a place to hide?
But there was a dilapidated door at the entrance of the cave, and there was no way to hide people.
I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the cicada pointed to the water tank in the corner, "You quickly hide inside." ”
When I saw the water tank, I immediately thought of the water tank in the toilet that was used as a squat pit and filled with feces.
The two tanks are about the same size, except that this one is covered with a wooden lid.
Seeing that my face was pale, the cicada didn't approach the water tank for a long time, and urged anxiously, "Hurry up, people are coming!" ”
I went to the water tank, and when I lifted the wooden lid, I breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no feces in the water tank as I imagined, only half a tank of clean water.
The footsteps got closer, and I hurried into the tank and struggled to close the wooden lid.
As soon as I hid it, people came in, and through the gap between the lid and the cylinder mouth, I saw that it was Lin Zhiyuan and his apprentice Mingyue.
Mingyue glanced around and said, "Master, people are not here."
"Damn! How did that girl come here? Which of you leaked the secret? Lin Zhiyuan was very annoyed.
I thought that Mingxuan found out that the hole was open, and ran to tell Lin Zhiyuan, and couldn't help but secretly scold her for being ungrateful, and I knew that I wouldn't save her.
"Master, it may be Mingxuan, she has always been with Mu Ling."
"Mingxuan just entered the view, who told her here?" Lin Zhiyuan's voice was suddenly cold, and he believed that someone had leaked secrets.
"Master, you'll know when you catch Mu Ling." Mingyue said.
Lin Zhiyuan insulted the cicada a few words, and was about to go outside to find me.
Without waiting for me to breathe a sigh of relief, Lin Zhiyuan paused and moved his gaze to the water tank.
"Master, there's a problem with the water tank?" Mingyue said, walking towards the water tank.
