554. Hang him to the city gate first
Shuoxue City, Qianxueju dungeon.
Zhen Chenji was very excited at this moment. When he heard Qi Ningyuan say that Xiaohua was a "little bastard", he immediately became unhappy: "Ningyuan, what are you talking about? Xiaohua'er is obviously so good. Those times, it was because you were too weak and your methods were not as good as her, so you lost. Do you still want to find a place? What kind of place do you find? You should reflect on yourself, why are you the brother who is not as good as Xiaohua'er."
Qi Ningyuan held his forehead and said, "Grandpa, Xiaohua is my cousin. Now it's just a guess from me. Before you see her, you start to dislike me."
"It's not that you dislike you." Zhen Chenji looked at Qi Ningyuan and said, "You are not bad, but Xiao Huaer is better. I know you guessed it, but thinking about what you said to me will definitely not be wrong. It's her, it must be her!"
"Grandpa, you were not so excited when you first met me..." Qi Ningyuan felt a little sad.
"My grandfather always heard that man say that you worked hard for him and did a lot of things for him. Before seeing you, I kept thinking that if you really become crooked and have the same heart as that man, I would rather ruin you." Zhen Chenji looked at Qi Ningyuan and said with a serious expression.
"What if my cousin is crooked? Will my grandfather also destroy her?" Qi Ningyuan asked.
"Little Flower cannot grow crooked. What a good child she is!" Zhen Chenji looked kind, "Ningyuan, if you think she has something bad, it is because you are her defeated man, and you are jealous of her."
Qi Ningyuan was speechless: "Grandpa, can you calm down now?"
"It seems that I can't..." Zhen Chenji said, unable to help sighing, "I haven't been so happy for many years."
Qi Ningyuan said that he should be silent. Anyway, in his grandfather's heart, he is just a weed, and the little flower he had never seen before was a treasure...
However, Qi Ningyuan can actually understand it. Although he learned from Situ Pingzhi that the real Chen Yun was dead, Zhen Chen Ji should have been mentally prepared for this matter. Zhen Chen Ji was locked up here for so many years, and had experienced any bad or bad things. He must have thought that his son and daughter-in-law, as well as his grandson or granddaughter who had not been born in the past countless times are gone. Now he learned that he has a granddaughter and is still alive, and learned from Qi Ningyuan that some things that the little flower had done. The excitement in his heart will inevitably temporarily suppress the heavy sadness...
But it was temporary after all. When Zhen Chen Ji asked this and that, he asked until Qi Ningyuan felt helpless and said that he really didn't know, Zhen Chen Ji calmed down a little, his eyes fell on Situ Pingzhi, and the smile on his face soon disappeared.
"Ningyuan, wake him up. I want to know what happened back then." Zhen Chenji's voice could not hide the pain.
"Grandpa, I want to know why my uncle and aunt ran away from home back then?" Qi Ningyuan did not wake up Situ Pingzhi immediately, but asked Zhen Chenji a question. He was always curious, but never dared to ask because he was afraid that mentioning Chen Yun and Feng Qingran would stimulate Zhen Chenji. But now, it is time to know the truth.
In fact, before Qi Ningyuan's mother Chen Fei died, Qi Ningyuan also asked Chen Fei this question. Chen Fei said that in her impression, Chen Ji and Chen Yun and his son had a very good relationship. Feng Qingran was Chen Ji's adopted daughter. He grew up under Chen Ji's knees, and Chen Ji treated her as his own. At that time, Chen Fei had already married into the Qi family in Luoyingcheng. Suddenly one day, he learned that Chen Yun and Feng Qingran had left the house. I don't know where they went, and Situ Pingzhi went out to find someone. When Chen Fei returned to her parents' home to ask, Chen Ji refused to say it.
Now Qi Ningyuan was thinking that after Situ Pingzhi left, Zhen Chen Ji was in trouble and replaced, so no matter how Chen Fei asked, she didn't get the answer, because the fake Chen Ji didn't know what was going on.
Now that he heard Qi Ningyuan’s question, Zhen Chenji looked a little sad, shook his head, sighed and said, “Yun'er and Qingran are not running away from home, everything is because of the child!”
"I don't understand, please help my grandfather solve my doubts." Qi Ningyuan frowned and said. It was either running away from home or having a serious matter to do. What does it mean for the sake of the child?
Zhen Chenji was silent for a moment and said, "Yun'er and Qing Ran's first marriage. Three years after they got married, your mother got married and went to Luoying City. Your mother got pregnant as soon as she got married. When you were two years old, Qing Ran's belly still didn't move. It was almost six years since they got married. They visited famous doctors and used a lot of medicines. They all said that they had no problems with their own health, but they just couldn't get pregnant."
"That cousin is..." Qi Ningyuan frowned.
"Later, Qing Ran got a folk remedy from somewhere. Not long after using it, she got pregnant. She was afraid that the child would be lucky, so she kept it secret at the time and no one told me. She thought that after three months, the fetus would be stable before letting others know." Zhen Chenji said in a deep voice, "It's just that the good times didn't last long. Before three months, I found that there was a problem with the fetus. Qing Ran's pulse was very strange. After taking the pulse, the doctor said, "I'm not sure what happened. Two people said that it was like there was no fetal heart, so it should be drained as soon as possible."
"But how can I bear to give up the child that Yun'er and Qingran worked hard for so long before finally getting it? Yun'er had dealt with Master Yuantong from Yuanyin Temple. Knowing that Master Yuantong is also very good at medical skills, he sought to go to Xingzhe Island. After taking Qingran's pulse, Master Yuantong said that there was indeed a problem, but the child was still alive, but this child was a little unusual. As for what is unusual, Master Yuantong did not explain in detail, nor did he prescribe the prescription. He only said that this child could be born, but he could not be born in the Tianqi Continent. He wanted to go to the distant Tianyu Continent. He said that only when the child was born, he could save his life from the gate of hell when he encountered a critical moment of life and death."
"Tianyu... is actually even further away than Tianyuan Continent..." Qi Ningyuan frowned, "Has my uncle and aunt really gone?"
"Yes!" Zhen Chenji nodded, "They refused to give up that child. After listening to Master Yuantong's words, they decided to leave. I advised him and stopped him, and finally compromised, because I don't want them to regret one day. Yun'er and Qing Ran are both people without intention to be powerful. They have been together since childhood, indifferent to fame and fortune, and are willing to be free. The biggest dream of the two is to travel all over the world, rather than one day becoming the lord of Shuoxue City and fighting for power with several other families."
"So, I let them go. When they left, they said that when they settled in Tianyu Continent and the child was born safely, they would come back to pick me up, and then hand over Shuoxue City to Situ Pingzhi. But not long after they left, Situ Pingzhi took the initiative to chase them, escort them all the way to Ping'an place, and he would come back to tell me their situation. I thought about it, and I was really worried, so I let Situ Pingzhi chase him later."
Zhen Chenji finished speaking and his eyes turned red again. The past is vivid in my mind, but decades have passed.
"Grandpa doesn't know what happened later." Qi Ningyuan sighed, "I'll wake up Situ Pingzhi now and see what he says!"
After Qi Ningyuan finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards Situ Pingzhi. He had just approached Situ Pingzhi and had not done anything yet. The rapid footsteps sounded at the entrance of the dungeon again!
Qi Ningyuan's eyes were slightly dim, and he silently returned to Zhen Chenji's side and sat down. He saw the false Chenji strode in.
The fake Chen Ji Youhan glanced around, and didn't care about Situ Yu and Situ Pingzhi who were unconscious for the time being, but strode over, pulled Qi Ningyuan from the ground, grabbed Qi Ningyuan's collar and said coldly: "Are you very sure Qi Ningxin is not in Wax City at all, and Situ Pingzhi couldn't catch her, so he was so calm before? I told you all those days that Situ Pingzhi took Qi Ningxin with you on the way back, but you were not nervous at all. Now I finally understand that it was me who was wrong!"
Qi Ningyuan's heart sank slightly, and he heard the false Chen Ji say coldly: "From the beginning, I think the blood-tracking Gu raised by Chen Ji's heart this time must have been Qi Ningxin. There is no other possibility. This is wrong! You deliberately guide me to think in that direction! Why did I forget that Chen Yun and Feng Qingran never came back after leaving home. They didn't know whether they were dead or alive or not, whether they had children!"
"You dare to think very much." Qi Ningyuan said with a faint expression.
"Even if Situ Pingzhi had selfish intentions, it would be impossible for him to be in that situation. He would still not tell the truth, because he might lose his life at any time! I finally figured out one thing just now, that is, what Situ Pingzhi said was the truth. He did not catch Qi Ningxin in the Wild Fog City!" Fake Chen Ji said coldly, "Qi Ningyuan, tell me who is the person pointed to by the Blood Trace Gu?"
"I want to know too." Qi Ningyuan said, "I heard from Master that, I was thinking, maybe my uncle is really lucky and lucky. He was not killed by Situ Pingzhi back then, but now he is going home. Master, you have to wash your neck and wait. My uncle is not a fool like Situ Pingzhi. He will recognize you as fake as soon as he meets him!"
Fake Chen Ji suddenly shook his hand and threw Qi Ningyuan out.
Qi Ningyuan's back hit the wall, but this happened a lot. He was already a little numb. He slowly got up from the ground, wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the fake Chen Ji and said, "You have the will to kill us now."
The fake Chen Ji looked at Qi Ningyuan and sneered: "I won't kill you. Whether it's Chen Yun or his child is back alive, I will reunite your relatives soon. You can wait!"
After the false Chen Ji finished speaking, he cruelly took Zhen Chen Ji's heart blood again because he wanted to raise a new blood tracer to find where the person he was pointing to was.
Qi Ningyuan wanted to wake up Situ Pingzhi and asked him what happened after leaving Shuoxue City, but there was no chance. Because when Fei Chen Ji left, he dragged Situ Pingzhi away. Fei Chen Ji's purpose was similar to Qi Ningyuan, just to know whether Chen Yun was dead or not and whether there was a child who might still be alive.
After the false Chen Ji left, Qi Ning went away to apply medicine to Zhen Chen Ji. Seeing that Zhen Chen Ji's old wounds had not healed and new injuries were added, he felt very uncomfortable.
Situ Yu was still in a coma. Zhen Chenji ignored his injuries, but his expression became worried: "Ningyuan, we won't harm Xiao Huaer, right? What if that person really finds her, what should we do not do to her? We should kill Situ Pingzhi as soon as possible."
"Grandpa, you are concerned about it," Qi Ningyuan sighed and said, "You saw it just now. The man suddenly came again before tomorrow because he himself came back to his senses and realized what was going on. Even if we killed Situ Pingzhi and stopped him from telling the secret past, it could not stop the man from using his grandfather's heart to raise a Gu to find his cousin. This result will inevitably happen."
"Oh!" Zhen Chenji sighed, "I am really afraid that I will drag down that child. If that person catches her, it will definitely be used to threaten us. If she can't catch her, she will definitely use it as a threat. In any case, it will be a great disadvantage to her situation. My granddaughter has finally come to this world. I haven't taken care of her for a day. I don't know how much suffering she suffered and how much sin she suffered. Before she meets her, I have caused her such a big trouble..."
Zhen Chenji said, tears fell again, his face full of guilt and anxiety.
Qi Ningyuan felt that if Fake Chen Ji Zhen caught Xiaohua and threatened Zhen Chen Ji, Zhen Chen Ji would probably compromise immediately...
"Grandpa, I said, you are concerned and confused, and you think too much." Qi Ningyuan held Zhen Chen Ji's cold hand and said, "First, if that little flower is really your granddaughter and my cousin, I think she should not know our relationship yet and don't know where we are. She came to the Apocalypse Continent for her own purpose. She went to Xingzhe Island to find me and wanted to cooperate with me. Now something happened to me. Even if I am not her cousin, because Xin'er married Lian Yu, Xiaohua would help me for the sake of Xin'er and Lian Yu."
Zhen Chenji frowned and heard Qi Ningyuan continue, "Second, even if it's not for us, Xiaohua will definitely attack that person. I don't see how enthusiastic Xiaohua is about the treasure map. She has been going to Long Yanhua several times before, and the treasure map was successful, but that person is determined to win the treasure map now. For so many years, he only has the Qi family's piece in his hand, and Xiaohua has four pieces in his hand. They will sooner or later be enemies of the death."
"I know what you said makes sense, but I don't want to be a burden to her, the person who restrains her and threatens her." Zhen Chenji sighed deeply and said.
"So, the third point I will talk about next is the most important thing." Qi Ningyuan looked at Zhen Chenji and said seriously, "Didn't my grandfather say before that Xiao Huaer is beautiful, cute in character, magical ingenuity, and perfect incompetent? In the eyes of her grandfather, she is probably omnipotent. With her, my grandfather thinks that my grandson is stupid, stupid and incompetent. What else is grandfather worried about? In my opinion, we don't have to worry about anything, just wait for the little flower cousin with great power to save us!"
After Qi Ningyuan finished speaking, Zhen Chenji raised his hand and patted him: "It's really nonsense, it's all fallacies! That's your sister, you should love and pamper her to shelter her from the wind and rain. Now that you are in trouble, you are still waiting for her to come to save you with peace of mind. It's too bad!"
Qi Ningyuan said helplessly: "Heaven and Earth are consciences, grandpa, I am very embarrassed now. I feel very embarrassed, very weak, stupid and incompetent. Compared with Xiaohua's cousin, I am simply shameless and live in the world. But I just said those, not to comfort my grandfather. I have dealt with Xiaohua's cousin, and I know her abilities. Grandpa really shouldn't worry too much. It's good that we're dead now, and it won't pose a threat to her, but is grandpa willing to die? Your baby granddaughter is so outstanding and so good, and is still so close to home now, so grandpa doesn't want to look at her?"
Zhen Chenji's expression was very complicated, and he heard Qi Ningyuan continue, "At the time, seeking death is the most cowardly behavior. Death cannot solve any problem. Only by living can there be hope. Grandpa has survived these decades, and I believe he is very clear about this truth."
Zhen Chenji was silent for a moment and said, "I just hope that Xiaohua's everything is well."
"I understand! Grandpa, you don't think your baby granddaughter is not capable, you will fail next. You just long to love her and pamper her to shelter her from the wind and rain. Now you can't do it now, and it may implicate her, so it's very uncomfortable." Qi Ningyuan gently stroked Zhen Chenji's back and said, "No need, it's really unnecessary! When you see that little flower, you will know that she doesn't care about the things you are worried about, your guilt and self-blame!"
"I don't care..." Zhen Chenji's eyes darkened.
Qi Ningyuan hurriedly said: "I mean, as far as I learned from Lian Yu, Xiaohua is an extremely cheerful and optimistic person. She is very clear about right and wrong. She will definitely care about you, her grandfather, but she will never blame you for the past."
"Really... I don't know where she is now..." Zhen Chenji said, both concerned and worried, and his mind was really unable to remain peaceful.
Qi Ningyuan said that he tried his best and finished what he could say. He was a filial and good grandson, but it was useless. His grandfather was now full of the precious granddaughter Xiao Huaer whom he had never met before...
But Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan have just arrived at Xingzhe Island now.
Their group and three set off one night later than Situ Pingzhi, but Situ Pingzhi rushed back to Shuoshui City day and night. Mu Yan and the others were not very anxious. They would rest when it was time to rest at night, which was a little slower.
Mu Yan disguised herself as a man and went ashore on Xingzhe Island, and was not worried about being discovered. After Mu Lin put the boat down, the three of them walked towards Yuanyin Temple together.
When they arrived at the mountain gate, Mu Lin stepped forward and said that they were Xuanku's friends and came to find him, hoping to stay in Yuanyin Temple for a few days.
Originally, it was completely fine to say this. Xuanku himself said that he would give Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan the opportunity to go to Yuanyin Temple to find him. At that time, Mu Yan mentioned that Yuanyin Temple would not entertain female guests. Xuanku even said that Mu Yan would dress up as a man, saying that Mu Yan dressed very much. From Xuanku, they knew that Yuanyin Temple would usually invite guests to the mountain without asking about their identity, but there were very few outsiders who had always visited Yuanyin Temple.
However, this time, the monk guarding the mountain gate refused and said that Xuan had been in seclusion and could not see guests recently. He also said that from now on, Yuanyin Temple will not accept outsiders into the temple to live, and asked Mu Yan and the other two to leave quickly.
Mu Yan felt a little strange and asked, "Then we want to find Master Yuangui, will he be able to go down the mountain to see him?" If Xuan Kuzhen was in seclusion and the Yuanyin Temple did not allow outsiders to enter, then they could only ask Jin Liancheng for the situation.
"Uncle Yuangui made a mistake and was punished to practice for three months in the precept cave in the back mountain. It has only been half a month since then. It is not convenient to see guests. Please come back for three of you." The monk clasped his hands together and refused politely again.
Xuan was in seclusion, and Jin Liancheng made a mistake and was detained in confinement? Mu Yan thought this was too coincidental. She looked at the monk and asked, "This master, there is another thing. About a month and a half ago, a friend of mine came to Xingzhe Island and said he wanted to live in Yuanyin Temple. Is he still in the temple now?"
Mu Yan asked Qi Ningyuan. If outsiders were not allowed to live in Yuanyin Temple now, does it mean that Qi Ningyuan has left?
The monk gave Mu Yan a positive answer: "The person this donor said has already gone down the mountain."
"Does the master know where he went? We have something to look for him." Mu Yan asked politely.
The monk shook his head: "I don't know. Anyone who comes to Yuanyin Temple does not ask where to come or where to go."
"What if we want to visit Master Yuantong?" Mu Yan asked again.
"The three donors, Master Yuantong, have also been in seclusion, and it is not convenient to see guests." The monk said with his hands folded.
Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan looked at each other, and Xiao Xinghan spoke, "Let's go first."
The three of them turned around and left. After walking out for a while, Mu Yan turned around and looked at the temple with green tiles and white walls on the high mountain, and her eyes narrowed slightly: "Brother, Xiao Hanhan, do you think things will be so coincidental?"
Mu Lin sighed slightly: "It's not impossible. It's fine if we can't see Xuan Ku. We were originally here to find Qi Ningyuan, but we didn't expect him to leave. This time he was afraid that he didn't leave any strange letters to his younger sister."
"But nothing happened to the remaining three families. Qi Ningxin has already gone to the Shenbing City, and Qi Ningyuan has no reason to leave Yuanyin Temple. Even if Yuanyin Temple no longer receives foreign guests, it will not drive away the guests who have already moved in." Mu Yan thought, "Even if he is really driven out of Yuanyin Temple, I think with Qi Ningyuan's personality, he will find somewhere else to live on Xingzhe Island and wait for us, and he will not disappear like this. If he really wants to hide and wait to reap profits, he will not send that letter to Xianluo Island."
"Does my little sister think Qi Ningyuan didn't leave voluntarily?" Mu Lin frowned, "The only one who can cause trouble for him is Chen Ji. Not to mention whether Chen Ji can find him, just say that this is the territory of Yuanyin Temple. Chen Ji dare not be so arrogant. Come to Xingzhe Island to force Qi Ningyuan away?"
"This is the territory of Yuanyin Temple, but the gate of Yuanyin Temple is there, and no one cares about other places on Xingzhe Island. If it is really Chen Ji, just trick Qi Ningyuan down the mountain and you can do it." Mu Yan thought for a while and said.
"Does that little sister plan to go to Shuoxue City?" Mu Lin asked.
Xiao Xinghan shook his head and glanced at the direction of Yuanyin Temple: "Don't go to Shuoxuecheng for the time being, Jin Liancheng must know what happened to Qi Ningyuan, and I want to see him."
"How do you meet? Are you going to break into Yuanyin Temple?" Mu Lin frowned.
"Well, I'll go up the mountain to explore today." Xiao Xinghan said.
"What if someone finds out?" Mu Lin asked.
Xiao Xinghan said calmly: "My son has worshipped Xuanku as his teacher. We have been entertaining Xuanku for so long. If something really happened to me in Yuanyin Temple, Xuanku would not be indifferent."
"Even if that's the case, when you go to Jin Liancheng, do you think he will tell you the truth? In this world, if Jin Liancheng wants to let someone die the most, it is you Xiao Xinghan. I'm afraid you won't be exposed at that time, Jin Liancheng will also let the monks from Yuanyin Temple discover you." Mu Lin said.
"You're thinking too much." Xiao Xinghan said with a faint expression, "What is Jin Liancheng's mind going to be? I know better than you. Since I dare to go, I will be ready."
"Then let's settle it. It should be the small house on the beach that Xuan Ku said, let's go there to rest." Mu Yan was not worried that Xiao Xinghan would fall into Jin Liancheng's hands because this kind of thing had not happened so far.
Shuoxuecheng.
The fool Chen Ji looked at Situ Pingzhi kneeling in front of him, and his eyes were deep: "Do you know the consequences of lying to deceive me?"
Situ Pingzhi lowered his head and said, "I'm like this, how dare I lie to you? What I said is true. Chen Yun and Feng Qingran have a daughter who was left in Tianyu Continent by us. The reason why she didn't kill her was that if we were discovered by Chen Ji after we came back, we could use the whereabouts and safety of the child to save our lives. You know what happened later. The child was very weak when he was born. We thought she wouldn't have lived, and maybe she had died long ago, and never cared about it. Unexpectedly..."
"I didn't expect that she had grown up alive and came all the way from Tianyu Continent to the Apocalypse Continent, right?" The fake Chen Ji said coldly, "Chen Yun is dead. Qi Ningxin seems to have been sent out of the Apocalypse Continent, otherwise Qi Ningyuan wouldn't be so relieved. So, if it weren't for Chen Yun's resurrection, it would be the daughter of Chen Yun that you didn't get rid of back then, and you are back!"
Situ Pingzhi looked extremely ugly, and Fei Chen Ji sneered: "Get up, I will not attack you and your children again. Next, as long as you are obedient and do things for me, and when I have the power, your benefits will be indispensable!"
"Yes, master." Situ Pingzhi said respectfully.
"Now, the new Blood Trace Gu has not been developed yet, but I suspect that even if Chen Yun's daughter has not come to Shuoxue City, she is not far away." The light flashed in the false Chen Ji's eyes.
"What do you plan to do?" Situ Pingzhi asked respectfully.
Chapter completed!
