Chapter 225: Yaya and Granny Bai
After seeing the death scene of Yaya and Granny Bai with his own eyes, Meng Zhou's heart was shaken, and all kinds of conjectures surfaced in his heart.
However, because there is too little information to be understood, all kinds of speculation can only stop at speculation, and it is impossible to confirm what the root cause of the death of the two is.
The thought in Meng Zhou's heart turned, and in his field of vision, the image of Granny Bai's grocery store began to accelerate again.
Yaya was getting smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it didn't take long, more than twenty years ago.
At this moment, the girl has become a baby who is still in swaddling clothes.
A certain moment.
"It's now."
The image of the rapid counter-current slowed down.
At this moment, the white granny is not as old as the day she died.
She was showing up on the street at the end of the bay with a little baby in her arms, and the neighbors were greeting her.
From time to time, someone came up to talk to her, and at the same time, she was curious to watch the baby who was held in the arms of the white granny and properly wrapped in swaddling clothes.
This is the first time that Granny Bai has brought Yaya back from outside.
Because of the special rules of Baiyue Wanwei, in order to ensure that the house they live in is not taken by outsiders, each household will try their best to cultivate a "child" who can establish a household before he is old and weak.
But the real situation is that whether or not one's own offspring can practice is not an inevitable event, but is full of randomness.
Therefore, once in a neighborhood, when a neighbor goes out and brings back a baby, or brings back a child, claiming to be their own heir, everyone knows what is going on, and everyone tacitly maintains this unspoken rule.
Therefore, no one thinks it is inappropriate for Granny Bai, an old woman who lives alone, to suddenly bring back a "granddaughter".
No one will break the casserole and ask to the end, to explore Yaya's past roots, or to ask "where did you bring this granddaughter from".
Everyone assumed that the baby was the granddaughter of Granny Bai.
At this moment, Meng Zhou was interested in "breaking the sand pot and asking to the end".
He escaped out of Baiyue Bay, followed the trajectory of Granny Bai holding Yaya back, and traced it all the way.
The trajectory of the two is getting closer and closer to the edge of Jade Lake. Granny Bai, who quickly "retreated" with a baby in her arms, finally "retreated" to the junction of Jade Lake and Baijiang River, fell into a small courtyard, and "retreated" into a bedroom.
In this bedroom, there is a woman in her early thirties who has just given birth, lying on the bed, holding a baby girl breastfeeding.
Next to the bed, there was a silent middle-aged man in his forties, with a lot of weather.
Granny Bai waited quietly beside her.
The baby girl fell asleep sweetly under the woman's breastfeeding, and then, she silently wrapped the baby girl carefully into a clean and fluffy swaddling cloth.
During this time, the bedroom is very quiet.
It's just that when the woman wrapped the baby girl and carefully held her into her arms, there were drops of crystal tears falling into the swaddling clothes.
After the woman wrapped the baby girl, she turned around and handed it to the white mother-in-law.
Granny Bai took the baby girl and listened to the woman's introduction to feeding, and she also listened very carefully.
After a while, she carried the baby girl out of the small courtyard.
And this baby girl is Yaya.
Seeing this situation, Meng Zhou was a little surprised in his heart.
However, from their brief exchanges, coupled with a lot of information that Meng Zhou knew, they confirmed each other, and they basically knew what was going on in their hearts.
In order to ensure that the secret method of "Blood Heir Cleansing the Soul" can be carried out forever, Yan Zhuang made some arrangements before leaving.
The "Yan family", which is in everyone's sight and has a large number of strong foundations, is placed on the bright side to attract firepower and attention from all sides.
Those bloodline heirs who were not noticed by people were quietly transferred and scattered by him, incognito.
But this approach is not really clever.
When the main family of the "Yan family" is destroyed, and there is a force like the Mo family that covets the "inheritance of the Yan family" and spares no effort to track it, it is not difficult to touch the traces of the "remnants of the Yan family" that have been scattered.
In order to deal with it, the "remnants of the Yan family" had to try their best to disperse the bloodline, and "infiltrate" it as much as possible to various places where cultivators lived in Jade Lake.
For this reason, Yaya became the granddaughter of Granny Bai.
Following this step, Meng Zhou solved some doubts, but added some doubts in his heart.
Meng Zhou prepared to leave this place, return to Baiyue Bay, and continue to track and search.
At this moment, Meng Zhou had withdrawn the ability to go back in time.
In the field of vision, the appearance of the bedroom has changed dramatically.
Not only have the furnishings become almost completely different, but the floor walls have also become more old.
The breastfeeding woman, the silent man, the white mother-in-law, and the baby girl who were still in sight at the last moment naturally disappeared.
Instead, there was a half-hundred-woman sitting at a low table by the window, bowing her head and doing needlework silently.
Seeing this, Meng Zhou was slightly stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
His gaze has fallen from more than 20 years ago to the present.
Meng Zhou's gaze fell on the woman at the window.
Although there have been a lot of changes, her appearance is much older, and her hair is gray, Meng Zhou can still confirm that this is Yaya's biological mother.
Well, to be more precise, it's the bloodline biological mother of the girl who was born as a little human girl.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhou couldn't help but pay more attention to the current situation of the family.
And this attention gave birth to a feeling in Meng Zhou's heart that "this world is so small".
……
"Mother, we're back."
A young man of eighteen or nineteen entered the house.
Although this person is not very old, he reveals a peculiar spirit all over his body, which is a special temperament that can only be possessed by soaking in rivers, lakes and seas all year round.
The woman, who was doing needlework by the window, quickly put down her work, walked out of the bedroom, and greeted the door.
At the same time, in another room, a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old also trotted out.
"Brother, Dad, are you back?"
The girl came to the gate before the woman, and welcomed the young man and a thin old man who followed him silently into the house.
Like a puppy, she hurried around the two of them, but her eyes were fixed on the storage bag on the old man's waist.
Finally, after the group returned to the living room, in the expectant gaze of the girl, the old man took out two fresh spirit fish and handed them to her.
However, when she saw the spirit fish, the expectation in the girl's eyes turned into disappointment, and she said:
"Dad, didn't you say there are green mussel beads?"
The young man next to him explained to the disappointed girl:
"Little sister, you can't blame Dad for breaking his word.
Just because the color of those green clam beads far exceeded our original estimates, and several of them already have the quality of a first-order middle grade, it is not suitable for you to be a plaything.
Moreover, it is a disaster for such a valuable thing to remain in our hands.
So, just now the two of us have sent those green clam beads to the Baijiang Gang. ”
"You just went to the Baijiang Gang?"
The girl's attention had been taken away from the matter of the green clam beads, and a worried look appeared on her face.
The Baijiang Gang is certainly not worth mentioning in the eyes of those real big forces in Jade Lake, but for their family living here, it is a heaven-like existence.
Seeing that his sister and mother were worried, the young man smiled and comforted:
"Mother, little sister, don't worry, it's not a bad thing.
Because the green mussel beads we offer are worth a lot of money, and our family is an old man who knows the roots.
Gang Master Xu not only met us personally, but also gave us a very generous grace. ”
In the expectant eyes of the two, the young man said:
"We have a set of single-family courtyards on Maple Grove Island, and our family can live on the island in the future.
My father and I were allowed to join the river patrol team, so we didn't need to get up early and go to catch fish in the morning.
Because of his rich experience, Dad is very familiar with the surrounding water potential and fish conditions, and he is directly the ship's first officer...... Nominally, he is the first officer, but the real ship is basically not boarded.
So, he's the de facto captain of a boat. ”
"Little sister, you don't need to practice behind closed doors in the future, there is a Dharma transmission hall of the Baijiang Gang on Fenglin Island, which specializes in teaching the cultivation of potential young people in the Xi Gang.
After that, you can go there and practice, and you can ask other people for advice if you have any questions.
If you perform well, you may even get full funding from the Baijiang Gang! ”
"Little sister, don't take this seriously, think it's just a simple painting cake.
Whether you can break through to the late stage of Qi cultivation in the future, or even whether it is possible to reach the foundation building realm, this is the closest opportunity to you! ”
The girl fox said suspiciously:
"Brother, don't lie to me.
As far as I know, the Xu Gang Master of the Baijiang Gang has only practiced the cultivation of the seventh layer of Qi, where did he come from? ”
The young man shook his head and said:
"Although Gang Master Xu's cultivation is not too strong, he has a background in his wife's family.
If it weren't for this, the turmoil of the Mo family back then would have been enough to bury the entire Baijiang Gang, so why does it exist to this day?
Don't think about it, you just need to understand that as long as you perform well enough, the Baijiang Gang can build a ladder for you to climb to the sky! ”
"I see, brother."
The girl no longer had the slightest doubt, and nodded slightly, but there was a determination in her expression.
While the brother and sister were talking, the half-hundred women did not interject.
However, when she realized that the whole family would soon move out of here, there was a sudden sadness in her eyes.
"Mother? What's wrong with you? ”
The girl keenly felt the changes in her mother's mood.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, it's just that I did needlework for too long just now, and my eyes are a little uncomfortable. Half a hundred women rubbed their eyes, but in turn comforted a pair of children.
And the old man, who was quieter and more silent than the woman, had come to her and gently held her hand.
The brother and sister looked at each other silently, although their father and mother didn't say anything, but looking at their performance, they basically knew what was going on in their hearts.
Because they knew a long time ago that they also had a sister who died young.
This sister, who is said to have died shortly after birth, is the deepest pain hidden in the hearts of the two.
"Ahh The girl suddenly snorted softly.
The three people with different minds looked at her one after another, but saw her reaching out and touching her lower abdomen.
Seeing that her family members were looking at her, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”
Just now, she felt a warm current spread around her lower abdomen, making her shiver and even let out a soft snort.
However, this inexplicable feeling comes and goes faster.
Seeing that her father and brother were looking at her, she was a little embarrassed and a little ashamed, and hurried into her room.
Seeing this, the woman followed her daughter into the room and whispered some intimate questions between the women.
The old man and the young man have gone their separate ways, each busy with his own business.
……
Meng Zhou left quietly, just as he came quietly.
However, before leaving, he quietly combed the girl with the best roots and the strongest plasticity.
In this girl, Meng Zhou saw some shadows of Yaya.
"If Yaya hadn't died, when she was thirteen or fourteen years old, she would probably look like this."
Meng Zhou will not have more intersections with this family, and for this family, they are also eager to cut off the past.
"So be it."
……
After returning to Baiyue Bay, Meng Zhou began to "fast-forward" the life of Granny Bai after she brought back the baby girl.
Gradually, Meng Zhou discovered the problem.
When Yaya grew from an infant baby girl to a two- or three-year-old girl, Yaya did not show anything special.
It's no different from other ordinary little girls.
Until, under the influence of her ears and eyes, she learned the techniques of Granny Bai and successfully formed a complex knot.
Gradually, Yaya showed more and more amazing talent for knotting.
Her talent in this area is not suddenly revealed, not falling from the sky, but as if she is constantly improving and improving in the process of playing rope and knotting rope.
And since Yaya was six years old, the situation has become more and more strange.
One day, without being instructed by anyone, she went out of the cross street and came to the vicinity of the raised stone wall that few people usually passed.
Then, again without being guided by anyone or any sign, she found the inscription carved into the stone wall, which recorded the hundred methods of knotting.
This kind of notch on the plane, even if others see it, it is difficult to associate it with the knotting method in the first place, but will think that it is meaningless graffiti.
But Yaya naturally "read" the information in it.
At this moment, Yaya's knotting skills are already very superb, and all kinds of small animals are knotted with ropes, which are vivid.
So, as if she had found a new pleasure, she tried to reproduce the correct way of braiding the notches on the stone wall with the knotted knot.
Something even weirder happened.
After going back, Yaya did not hide her discovery from Granny Bai.
That night, Granny Bai was still surprised and said that she would go to see it tomorrow.
But as soon as they woke up after a night, the attitude of the mother-in-law and grandson towards this matter changed suddenly.
Granny Bai no longer had the slightest curiosity about the stone wall, and seemed to have known about its existence for a long time.
Even, she thought that her knotting method came from this stone wall.
Yaya also defaulted to her understanding of Shibi's information, and she heard it from Granny Bai.
Quietly, such a change occurred, and Meng Zhou, who looked back on time and saw this scene, had a creepy feeling in his heart.
He carefully looked back and forth several times before ruling out any strange properties of the bullied stone wall itself.
"It's like when the two of them are sleeping, their respective cognitions have undergone an unknown adjustment shift under the influence of some invisible force."
And that's not the biggest problem.
Until Meng Zhou "fast-forwarded" the trajectory of the two to the moment when he himself arrived at Baiyue Bay, Yaya and Granny Bai died.
The biggest weirdness is clearly presented in front of Meng Zhou.
From Yaya being held in swaddling clothes by Granny Bai, entering Baiyue Bay, to the night Yaya died, in her short life, she had never heard of the person "Bai Zhi".
Granny Bai never said to Yaya, "You also have an aunt named Bai Zhi."
Before Meng Zhou came to the door, in the Bai Granny grocery store, in the hearts of Bai Granny and Yaya, there had never been such a person as Bai Zhi.
But when Meng Zhou suddenly came to the door and mentioned this name, Granny Bai and Yaya's performance at that time was like a memory loaded with information about this person at the same time.
"No, I didn't actually get any information about Angelica Angelica from them.
What they really show is actually two diametrically opposed extreme emotions.
Granny Bai's emotions towards Bai Zhi are indifferent and repulsive.
Yaya's emotion towards Bai Zhi is dependence, the kind of true and pure attachment to her family and relatives. ”
Meng Zhou retraces the time to the scene when he first visited Granny Bai's grocery store, and repeatedly observed the various performances of Yaya and Granny Bai during this period.
"The problem is not with Yaya, then it should be with Granny Bai."
Thinking like this in his heart, Meng Zhou wanted to trace the traces of Granny Bai's past.
At this moment, Meng Zhou felt a feeling of exhaustion and fatigue in his heart.
Meng Zhou knew that this was a manifestation of his excessive mental exertion.
Today, he is erasing his traces and tracing the source of Yaya's line, which consumes a lot of energy.
And to trace the traces of Granny Bai, it is inevitable to go back to the distant past, and the mental consumption will be greater, which is not something he can support in his current state.
"Take a break."
Thinking like this in his heart, Meng Zhou cast the Five Elements and dived deep into the earth.
Thousands of meters above the ground, Meng Zhou found a hidden, narrow underground cavity.
Take out the trophies obtained from Yan Zhuang, a complete set of third-order high-grade array flags, and arrange them around.
Soon, this small underground space, which was already very hidden, disappeared completely.
Unless the peak powerhouse of the Jiedan comes in person and breaks in at close range, he will not be able to find the abnormality here.
With the Earth Spirit Golden Lotus clone guarding outside, Meng Zhou soon fell into a deep sleep.
In the body, there is a slight, continuous thunder-like sound.
When Meng Zhou woke up, he only felt comfortable and refreshed, and he became energetic again.
Putting away the entire set of array flags, Meng Zhou once again quietly fled to the surface.
Time flashed back quickly, and soon locked the traces of the white granny again.
Then, continue to go back in time and go back in time.
And the earlier the retrospective time, the greater the burden on Meng Zhou's soul power and mental power.
However, Meng Zhou became more and more firm in his thoughts.
With the time going back more than thirty years, Granny Bai's appearance is getting younger and younger.
Looking at the young version of Granny Bai, Meng Zhou felt more and more strange in his heart.
Vaguely, in this young white mother-in-law, Meng Zhou saw the shadow of another person.
That person is Angelica Angelica.
However, it is not Bai Zhi, who is sleeping in Meng Zhou's sea of knowledge at the moment, and is not as amazing as Bai Zhi of ordinary people.
It was the more small jasper and more down-to-earth Qi Cultivation Realm Bai Zhi that Meng Zhou saw in order to ambush Yanzhuang in the Gray Mist Mountain Range.
Although, Bai Zhi at that time also disguised her appearance.
But after getting along for a long time, Meng Zhou has also learned that Bai Zhi's appearance and temperament, which are so otherworldly and like the fairies in the painting, are not born like this, but have a gradual change process.
Especially after she broke through the foundation, the change in her real body became bigger and bigger.
And before that, although her appearance was also stunning, it had not yet reached the level of shock.
The disguise she made at that time was also minus points while retaining her own characteristics.
Meng Zhou saw some traces of Bai Zhi who had practiced Qi Realm Bai Zhi from this young version of Bai Granny.
Meng Zhou guessed the possibility.
At that time, when the light traced back to a certain day, Meng Zhou followed the trajectory of Granny Bai and quietly escaped out of Baiyue Bay.
Crossing most of the jade lake, we came to another island.
The young version of the white granny "retreats" back into a small courtyard in the dark night before dawn.
Sitting on a bed, as if thinking about something, he silently lowered his head for a while, and then lay down straight on this bed.
Then, Meng Zhou saw a scene that frightened him.
I saw that the young version of the white mother-in-law, who originally had some traces of Bai Zhi in the Qi Cultivation Realm, had become a middle-aged female cultivator who was a complete stranger.
Because the current time is reversed, the real situation is that on this small island far away from Baiyue Bay, there is a strange nun who has nothing to do with Bai Zhi, and her true body and appearance have changed dramatically without her own awareness.
Then, she woke up in the pre-dawn darkness and sat up suddenly.
She sat quietly on the bed for a while, her head bowed, not knowing what she was thinking.
Then, with a face that had changed greatly, she crossed most of the Jade Lake to Baiyue Bay and lived in this small courtyard where Angelica used to live.
Since then, I have lived with a new identity. (End of chapter)
