Chapter 74: Your Mother Is a Fairy Mother?
Chu Ge raised his head, his forehead was still stained with dust on the ground, but his face was full of tears.
"Uncle, Shen Immortal Master, I, I really didn't mean to hide the truth about my cousin's disappearance! It's true that I promised my cousin that I couldn't tell her about it, so I ......" Chu Ge wiped the tears from his face. "That's why I've never dared to say it."
Chu Yuanjiang was furious, "What the hell is going on?" You hurry up and say, did you hide Xiaolian or did she run away on her own! If you don't make it clear, I'll have you beaten to death!" As if to show that he was not joking, he shouted out the door: "Someone! β
Immediately, four big men came in, all with sticks in their hands, and they were about to do it.
Chu Ge looked at Shen Muwan in a panic, "Immortal Master Shen, save me!" I say, I'll say everything! β
Shen Muwan sighed, and then pointed the tip of the fan on the back of Chu Yuanjiang's hand, "Master Chu, don't be bored, it's better to find out the matter first!" β
Then he turned his gaze and looked at Chu Ge, "Say it!" β
Chu Ge licked his chapped lips and calmed down his emotions before speaking timidly: "Actually, this is all my cousin's idea, she doesn't want to marry the young master of the Fang family, but she begged the uncle for a long time, but the uncle didn't agree, and let people lock her in the yard." Just wait for the other party to marry three days later.
My cousin and I have had a good relationship since childhood, she treats me as my own brother, and I also treat her as my own sister, and when I brought her food the day before yesterday, she begged me to help her. She also said that she had figured out a way, as long as I helped her stun the guards, she would have a way to escape by herself. β
"Isn't she afraid that her family will find her?" Shen Muwan asked.
She said that now there is a girl lost in the town every few days, and she ran away like this, uncle, they must have thought that she was caught by flower thieves like other girls, and they would not guess that she ran away.
As long as she escapes, she will be free, and I will help her with a soft heart. Chu Ge explained.
"She ran on her own?! The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate! This little brute, isn't this the life of our old couple! Why didn't you tell me where she is now? Get her back! Chu Yuanjiang thumped his chest.
"Master Chu, you control your emotions first, things are by no means so simple. Let's get things to know first, excitement won't solve the problem. Shen Muwan frowned slightly and comforted Chu Yuanjiang.
"How did you stun the guards?" Yan Hanze asked.
"IβI put some drugged in the tea they drank at night, and they all fell asleep. Then I stole the key from my uncle, unlocked the door, and released my cousin. Chu Ge said timidly.
"And then?" Shen Muwan asked.
Then I ran out of the house with my cousin through the back door, and went to a ruined temple in the east of the town, where I was going to wait for the gates to open, and we could go out of the city. But...... But ......" Speaking of this, Chu Ge's eyes were full of fear.
"But what?" Shen Muwan's body, which was originally lazily lying in the chair, sat up straight.
"However, when we arrived at the ruined temple, a man in black suddenly appeared, and before I could see what he looked like, I fainted as soon as it was dark in front of me. It's just that before I fainted, I seemed to see that person's face......" Chu Ge's brows tightened, and his lips trembled involuntarily, as if he had thought of something extremely terrifying.
"What's wrong with that face?" Shen Muwan hates this kind of half-talker the most, but looking at Chu Ge's expression, it is not easy to force him too much.
Pursing his lips, he stood up, walked to his side, bent down, and gently put a hand on the top of Chu Ge's head, with a little spiritual power on his fingertips, and a gentle warm current flowed into Chu Ge's whole body from the top of his head, soothing his fear and nervousness.
"Say it slowly, don't be afraid, there is this seat!" The voice is childish but very soothing.
Yan Hanze, who was sitting on the side, looked at Shen Muwan's fingertips pressed on the top of Chu Ge's head and frowned, and a touch of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
"That man's face is not a human face, it looks like a monster, like a, like a fox!" He finally found the right words to describe the look in his heart. "Yes, it's like a fox, but the body is definitely human."
Shen Muwan withdrew his hand, his eyes with a deep groan. "Are you sure it's not a mask or something like a human being? Maybe the man in black was wearing a fox mask. You were so scared at the time, so you read it wrong? β
"No, even if it's just one eye, I can't be mistaken, if it's a mask, how can it grow hair, and those eyes are not human. Yellow eyes with blue glow. Chu Ge seemed to be afraid that Shen Muwan wouldn't believe him, so he grabbed Shen Muwan's hand, "Immortal Master Shen, believe me, believe me, Xiaolian was captured by that monster, it was really a monster." β
Once a person is excited, his strength is amazing, and Shen Muwan's hand was so grabbed by him that he couldn't pull it out for a while.
At this time, a phantom flashed, and Chu Ge was knocked out, knocking down a row of chairs on the side, and didn't get up for a long time.
Yan Hanze stood coldly in front of Shen Muwan, "How could you touch the master's hand?" β
"Ah, the little, the little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare!" Chu Ge was so frightened that he lay on the ground and buckled his head vigorously.
"Aze, don't hurt anyone!" Shen Muwan pulled Yan Hanze by the hand, not knowing what kind of madness this apprentice was doing, so he hurriedly stopped it.
Yan Hanze snorted from his nose and prepared to sit back in his place.
But at this time, Chu Yuanjiang's eyes were fixed on a small jade pendant that accidentally slipped out of his collar when Yan Hanze just made a move.
The jade pendant was about the size of a thumb, it was the shape of a gourd, which usually hung on Yan Hanze's neck and was hidden in his clothes, so it was rarely seen, and if he hadn't suddenly slipped out of the collar today, he wouldn't have been seen by Chu Yuanjiang.
Chu Yuanjiang's eyes immediately widened when he saw the jade gourd, he looked old and dizzy before, but at this time, it was like a return to the light, and his eyes were shining.
He stood up, walked up to Yan Hanze, and pointed at the jade gourd with a trembling finger, "This, this immortal master, where did you get this jade gourd?" β
Yan Hanze is taller than ordinary people, Chu Yuanjiang is already shorter than him, and because of the recent blows, he is a little hunched over, looking more than half a head shorter than Yan Hanze, Yan Hanze has to hang his eyes when he looks at him.
"Why are you asking this?" Yan Hanze's voice was cold.
Although Chu Yuanjiang's attitude was still very respectful, his tone was firm, as if he would not give up without asking a reason, "Did you bring this jade gourd with you since you were a child?" β
Yan Hanze just wanted to put the jade gourd into his clothes, Shen Muwan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Chu Yuanjiang's work, and said in his heart that according to the records in the book, the male protagonist will find information related to his life experience when he goes south. Looking at Chu Yuanjiang's attitude when he saw this jade gourd, he was obviously a person who knew something.
So he grabbed Yan Hanze's hand, "Aze, show it to Master Chu, as a teacher, remember that this is what you have brought with you since you were a child, maybe it has something to do with your life experience!" β
Yan Hanze looked at Shen Muwan, saw that her eyes were very serious, and nodded vigorously at herself, sighed lightly, took the jade gourd off her neck, and handed it to Chu Yuanjiang's hand.
Chu Yuanjiang was like holding the most precious object in the world, carefully holding it in his palm, looking at it carefully, and picking it up and looking at it carefully by candlelight.
"That's right, it's it! It really is! When the fairy Niangniang taught me to recognize, she said that when I looked at the candlelight, I could see that there seemed to be a feather floating inside.
I didn't expect the old man to really see it again in his lifetime! Chu Yuanjiang seemed to have fallen into a crazy mood, his daughter was missing and now his whereabouts were unknown, and all his attention was attracted by the small jade pendant.
Feather? Shen Muwan took the jade gourd and looked at it under the candlelight, and sure enough, inside the emerald green gourd, it seemed to be an emerald green space, and there was a golden feather floating in it.
It's just that it's too small, if Chu Yuanjiang hadn't said that if he looked carefully under the candlelight, he wouldn't have found it at all.
"Aze, do you know the secret here?" Shen Muwan turned around and asked Yan Hanze.
Yan Hanze looked at the jade gourd in Shen Muwan's hand with a somewhat hollow look, "I've seen what it looks like inside, but it's been hanging around my neck since I can remember, and I don't know who gave it to me at all." β
He closed his eyes, many fragments of his childhood appeared in his mind, and several times he was almost beaten to death in order not to let people snatch this jade pendant, thinking that this might be the only thing his parents left for him, and instinctively desperately tried to protect it.
Unexpectedly, his conjecture turned out to be true.
"Master Chu!" Shen Muwan tried to scream, but still couldn't recall Chu Yuanjiang's sanity.
She just wanted to raise her hand to give him some spiritual power to sober up, but her hand was firmly wrapped in the palm of Yan Hanze's big hand. "Master, I'm coming!"
After he finished speaking, he nodded on Chu Yuanjiang's eyebrows, and the golden light flashed, and Chu Yuanjiang blinked as if he had woken up from a dream, and let out a long breath.
"IβWhat's wrong with me?"
"Master Chu, have you seen this jade pendant before?" Shen Muwan stared at Chu Yuanjiang's expression and asked.
"Yes, the old man has seen it, it's the fairy Niangniang!" Chu Yuanjiang's eyes were still fixed on the jade pendant.
"Immortal Niangniang?" Shen Muwan frowned, "Can you make it clearer?" What fairy Niangniang? β
Chu Yuanjiang sighed, his gaze moved away from the jade pendant, fell on Yan Hanze's face, and looked at it carefully for a long time, "Like, really like, sure enough, you are really the son of Tianxian Niangniang!" β
"What? Whose son am I? Yan Hanze grabbed Chu Yuanjiang's collar and almost lifted him up, "You make it clear!" β
"Aze, don't be impulsive!" Shen Muwan hurriedly rescued the person, he was really afraid that he would be too late, and the old man would be carried out by him.
"Master Chu, please make it clear, who is this fairy Niangniang?" Shen Muwan hurriedly helped Chu Yuanjiang to the side and sat down, brought him the tea that was already cold on the side, and let him take a sip of tea before asking.
"Heavenly Immortal Niangniang......" Chu Yuanjiang fell into deep thought.
"Do you know why this place is called Lotus Town? That's because there is a lotus lake in the very center of the town, hence the name.
But in fact, this town used to be called Kushui Town. Just by hearing the name, you can guess how short of water our town used to be. There are only three wells in the whole town, and the water from the wells is bitter and astringent, and it is difficult to drink even if it is boiled.
But no matter how bad it is, it's better than not drinking it at all.
Nineteen years ago, there was a great disaster in the sky, and the rest of the land was so dry that it was not good, and we were even more so dry that it was going to smoke, and the bitter water in the three wells was about to dry up, and the whole town was about to die of thirst. β
