Chapter 212: How to Find the Mother of Ghost Mites
After listening to You Su’s story, the father and son, who were clinging to each other, did not refute, and accepted the punishment they were about to face with a sad expression.
Seeing this, the elder shook his head and sighed.
"Alas..."
He has lived for hundreds of years and has been dealing with evil spirits. I don’t know how many such evil spirits have caused chaos I have seen. In fact, a large part of these tragedies are inseparable from human beings.
If people's hearts were self-consistent and would not think about relying on evil spirits to satisfy desires and achieve goals, I don't know how many terrible tragedies would be missing in this world.
How could the evil spirit that was blocked overseas by the Divine Power Stone lead to a situation where everyone is in danger?
"Xiang Wenting, ghost mites and dream centipedes are powerful evil spirits. Where did you get these evil spirits?"
The leader looked down at Xiang, who was dripping with tears. Wen Ting, the old man has a majesty that is hard to disobey, as if anyone who faces his questions can only answer truthfully.
But Xiang Wenting remained silent, not knowing whether he was frightened or determined not to expose the person behind him.
"Speak out, and you will be less tortured. Don't think about yourself, but also think about your father. The torture of the Evil Exorcist Department is not something anyone can bear."
The elder continued to threaten, Xiang Wenting He raised his head, his messy hair was slicked back, revealing his sad face.
"He just wanted to break off the relationship with me, what do I care about him? There is no need to ask this immortal master, that person has even been erased from the memory in my mind, even if you dig me out It’s impossible for you to know who she is.”
Hearing this, Lord Xiang, who was still hugging his son, was heartbroken. He pushed his son away in disbelief, as if he was the first to do so. For the first time, he realized how cold-blooded his biological son was.
"If your father wasn't trying to protect you, he wouldn't have framed a mortal woman like that. What's wrong with him wanting to cut off the relationship?"
Even the chief elder felt vaguely. He burst into anger, looking at Xiang Wenting, a prodigal son, wishing he could carve it on the pillar of shame.
The Xiang family's hundreds of years of foundation were now destroyed because of him. And his purpose was actually just to keep a mortal woman by his side.
"His mistake was that he shouldn't have stood in the way of Ying'er and me in the first place!" Xiang Wenting broke away from his father's arms, with a few veins protruding from his chin, and turned to him and shouted hysterically, "You As the lord of a city, haven’t you done so many dirty things over the years? Why do you look down on a woman from a brothel? At least she is much cleaner than you are in the eyes of the outside world! The father and son, who had always been regarded as role models, turned against each other at this moment, and everyone in the audience felt sad.
“Hey, follow me back to the Evil Control Department. When you get there, you will naturally be able to say whatever you should and shouldn’t say.”
The elder shook his head helplessly, knowing that it would be difficult to continue the interrogation in this place at this time.
Compared to the person behind Xiang Wenting, what is a ghost mite or a dream centipede?
Since the Great War of Pure Evil in the Holy Mountain a hundred years ago, the number of evil cultivators in the world has dropped sharply, but this also just shows that every surviving evil cultivator will not be a fuel-efficient lamp. Each of them may be a huge hidden danger.
The elder suddenly opened his arms, and two thick golden chains stretched out from his palms, tying up Xiang City Lord and Xiang Wenting respectively, who were slumped on the ground.
Zi Yiyi's pupils narrowed slightly. She was the most knowledgeable person among You Su's group, so she recognized that what the elder was using was an extremely high-level technique - the Hunyuan Fulong Lock.
This powerful spell that is rumored to be able to subdue dragonborn is in the hands of the elder. It can be cast out of thin air without even chanting. It is indeed called the pinnacle of spells in the Five Continents. The heavenly magic master is so terrifying.
"Zi Yiyi, the real mother of ghost mites has not been found yet. You continue to monitor You Su's assessment. There is no need to worry about the order in the city. I will ask Lingbao Sect to send a new city lord as soon as possible. This city lord of Moye City It’s time for Xiang, who has had the family name for hundreds of years, to be changed.”
In the eyes of the chief, the change of the head of a city is as easy as crossing out a name on a piece of paper.
"Yes."
Zi Yiyi bowed respectfully, a little flattered. She was just a maid in the first seat of Huajing, but she didn't expect that this distinguished first seat could actually remember her. name.
The leader suddenly turned his head and looked at You Su quietly:
"You did a good job, but the ghost mites are still lurking in this city. Your senior sister is coming here, she won't Helping you will only ensure your safety. I look forward to your subsequent performance."
"Thank you, Elder"
Thank you.
“When necessary, crush the jade beads.”
The elder gave one last instruction to You Su, and disappeared from the place like a breeze, taking with him the two men he lifted. people.
In the semi-dark secret room, only You Su and his party were left, as well as Qiao Xiuying, who had turned into a mummy.
Ji Lingruo and Zi Yiyi both looked at the silent You Su with complicated eyes. They never expected that this situation had always been under You Su's control.
Qiao Xiuyun had never experienced such a fierce and tortuous scene. Among these monks, she was like an ant. At this moment, she didn't know anything. She only knew that her sister had been cleared of wrongdoing, and that she and her family were no longer in fear of their lives. She hurriedly ran to the coffin, leaned against the coffin board and sobbed loudly.
Ji Lingruo chased after her and gently stroked the girl's back with her hands.
"Why don't you ask the father and son where the ghost mite's mother is hiding? As soon as they left, the ghost mite's clues were lost again."
Zi Yiyi asked calmly, as if she no longer dared to be naive. Look at this blind boy.
"What they don't know... If they knew, wouldn't it be more convenient to capture the mother of ghost mites and put her in Qiao Xiuying's body?"
Although You Su said this, No sense of disappointment.
Zi Yiyi narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but look up to the young man even more.
After Qiao Xiuyun finished venting her emotions, the steward of the city lord's palace also found them. It was probably the arrangement of the elder, and the steward had learned everything.
He promised to cooperate unconditionally with all You Su's investigations, and led everyone to cremate Qiao Xiuying's mummy, and carefully made up for the first seven rituals for her.
By the end of the day, it was almost dusk.
In the dim dusk, the setting sun was rimmed with gold. People were walking slowly on the street under the setting sun, with long shadows behind them.
Qiao Xiuyun was holding her sister’s urn when she suddenly heard a slight noise and said in surprise:
"There is something in the urn!"
She hurriedly opened the urn and saw a letter hidden in the pile of fine bone powder.
The envelope is intact, with four words written on the seal - Brother Ye personally opens it.
You Su put it into the Qiankun bag while everyone looked at him with doubts, and began to read it with his spiritual consciousness.
There were two pieces of letter paper in the envelope, one was left by Xiang Wenting, and the other three were signed Qiao Xiuying.
Xiang Wenting's one-page letter was written very simply. It started with words of thanks and ended with a sentence saying that he had nothing to repay, so he could only hand over Yinger's three diaries to him, hoping that they could help. He found the ghost mite.
You Su began to read Qiao Xiuying's letter again. What is recorded above is actually the girl’s journey from Black Rock City.
The girl was born on the seaside. Like everyone there, she longed to leave the barren and dangerous black sand.
The vast majority of people there have no intention of leaving there. They seem to think that they inherently belong there, so they must live on the land delineated for them by the immortals. If they want to leave, they will have to pay a price they cannot imagine.
But the girl is different from them. The girl's idea is not just about thinking, she is also willing to take action for it.
She is the most hard-working girl in the village, even if there are no crops growing there; she often walks more than ten miles to the beach just to pick up more fish and sell them for money.
By chance, she picked up a red fish that she had never seen before. She thought it was some kind of strange deep-sea fish, but when she got home, she discovered that it was a fish that was passed down by word of mouth among the elderly and avoided them like snakes and scorpions. Evil spirit.
This is not a fish, but a bloody worm that lives by sucking human blood.
She was only nine years old at the time. She was very scared and wanted to hand over the evil spirit to the official. But she heard a rumor that someone in the next village turned in an evil spirit, but the whole house was ransacked. Because evil spirits cannot reach the Shenhui Stone on the coast, these people who turned over evil spirits are the main culprits who brought evil spirits into the inland.
She had no choice but to start feeding the worm with pig blood and chicken blood mixed with her own blood. Fortunately, the worm was small and not aggressive, and was very affectionate to her, like... One of her pets.
Gradually she became less afraid of evil spirits, and later she picked up a colorful centipede, which was very beautiful. They are like her pets and they listen to her very well.
Later, when her sister was born, she realized that even after spending her whole life collecting fish and cultivating land, she could not save enough money to buy her sister a house in an inland city, so they would always have to stay in the city. On top of this black rock.
She began to waver and felt that she should leave. The sheep in the sheepfold cannot escape from the sheepfold. Only the sheep outside the sheepfold can open the door for them.
The centipede would lie on her neck and make her have sweet dreams that she would never dare to dream about. This solidified her determination to leave, and as she grew into adulthood, she knew it was time to leave.
A very capable outsider came to the area around Black Rock City looking for female workers. She was the first to sign up, and she was also the only female worker who was chosen.
Actually, she knew that this was most likely a liar, a ploy to sell people into a brothel.
But she chose this fate for herself, her sister, and her family.
Her appearance was extremely beautiful and she became a well-deserved courtesan.
This is how I met Mr. Xiang, who was kicked out of the Lingbao Sect because of his lack of talent.
Master Xiang was disheartened at that time, because he was severely scolded and beaten by his father, so he gave up on himself and wanted to come to a brothel to break the virginity he had guarded for decades because of his spiritual practice.
She received him, and the two of them, who were both equally lost at heart, fell in love at first sight and were out of control from then on.
But he couldn't give her a status. His father was the city lord and would never allow his son to marry a brothel girl.
For this reason, he even used his father's dirty information to confront his father, and finally broke up and was banned.
At this time, a letter came from my sister, saying that she saw a fairy who flew into the sky and escaped from the earth in her hometown, and she was very envious.
This awakened Qiao Xiuying, maybe everything would be different once she became an immortal. Even though she knew she would die, as if to prove something, just like she who chose to walk out of the black soil at that time, she resolutely accepted the power of the ghost mite and completely dedicated her flesh and blood to it.
Later Xiang Wenting was released, and she successfully set foot on the immortal path.
Xiang Wenting learned about her sacrifice to Xie Sui, but he did not dislike her. Instead, he was worried about her and felt that as long as she was there, everything would be fine.
This pair of lovers don’t care what the other person looks like.
But the matter was still exposed, and the clues were discovered by City Lord Xiang. At that time, mites and centipedes were also very close to Xiang Wenting, so Xiang Wenting took the initiative to bear the responsibility. He was also exposed to evil spirits, just like his father.
Yes, City Lord Xiang is also secretly involved with evil spirits. It seems that this is the reason why Xiang Wenting's mother died young.
On the surface, Lord Xiang acquiesced in their love, but secretly asked the Madam to poison her food, thereby exacerbating her death.
When Centipede told her this in her dream, it was already too late.
She recorded it all and prepared herself for her own death. Before she died, she sent all her savings back home and told her family that she had found a good husband, so that they could feel at ease and not have to look for her.
He also sent away the pregnant ghost mite and left the beautiful centipede to Xiang Wenting.
At this point, her tortuous and miserable life ended.
It was dark at night, Ji Lingruo and Zi Yiyi were sitting in You Su's room, listening to You Su finish telling Qiao Xiuying's story, while Qiao Xiuyun fell asleep next door.
"It turns out that although she is not the mother of ghost mites, she is really the source of ghost mites." Zi Yiyi sighed sadly, "So Xiang Wenting was actually wronged? He is the real one People who have nothing to do with evil will still suffer the death penalty."
"This is his decision, I choose to help him."
You Su said calmly, not feeling happy or sad.
"What do you mean? Didn't you know these stories before? When did he tell you his thoughts?" Zi Yiyi asked curiously.
"Sister Yiyi, have you forgotten? Whether it was finding Qiao Xiuying's body or anything else, he was actually behind it. He just wanted to make me think that he was the source of evil spirits. Although I didn't know it, but I felt that he really wanted to die, so I obeyed him. Maybe you can understand it as...a tacit understanding between men."
Zi Yiyi looked stunned, looking back at the case was indeed too separate. Xiang Wenting asked them to find Cailing, but it was just to kill himself.
"But why did he have to die? Why did he drag his father into the water?" Ji Lingruo frowned and asked in confusion.
“For those who collude with evil spirits, all immediate family members will be implicated. He failed to protect the one he loved, so he chose to use his own life to protect his loved one’s family. And he no longer regarded this crazy father as a Father, but he cannot kill his father with his own ability. If he takes on this crime, he can still rely on the strength of others to avenge Qiao Xiuying.”
You Su sighed in a low voice, there was no winner in this tragedy, everyone was a loser. And what role does people avoid the evil spirits of snakes and scorpions?
The two women also fell into thinking when they heard this, and were speechless by the sadness of this immortal love.
Zi Yiyi came to her senses faster than Ji Lingruo. She was more concerned about getting rid of evil spirits:
"Unfortunately, this diary is not helpful in finding the mother of ghost mites."
You Su shook his head:
"No, it's very helpful. This diary tells us that even evil spirits will have feelings!"
"You ...What do you mean?”
You Su suddenly took out the evil-proofing order, and the two young ghost mites were thrown onto the table again.
You Su had put away the confusion on his face and said in a deep voice:
"Use its offspring as bait to hook it out!"
