Chapter 880: Encountering a Ghost
When the neighbors saw that the lord had come to look for Ji Ashui in person, they all rushed over enthusiastically, standing far away outside the door and waiting for Wei Youqing to ask questions.
Seeing this, Wei Youqing motioned to the snow beaver and Wei Song at the door to lead the villagers into the courtyard, and motioned for them to speak one by one.
It's just that everyone talked about it for a long time, but it was nothing more than that Ji Ashui didn't like to go out, and when he asked about the people who were looking for Ji Ashui, although everyone also mentioned a few, they were all people sent by Qingyun or Hua Shengze to deliver things.
Wei Youqing was a little disappointed, thinking that the person who could kidnap Ji Ashui was a mortal thing, so naturally he would not let these neighbors touch it.
After sending everyone out, Wei Youqing also walked out of the courtyard with Ru Xin. But seeing an old woman who had come just now, she turned back again, and looked at Wei Youqing from a distance hesitantly, as if she had something to say.
Wei Youqing's heart moved, this old woman can be said to be Ji Ashui's old neighbor, Ji Ashui and Su Coconut were the first family on this beach, and the old woman was the second family. The two families lived here for a long time before others moved in.
Wei Youqing beckoned, stepped forward in person, and smiled gently at the old woman: "Granny Yuan, what do you have to say to Youqing?" ”
When the old woman saw that Wei Youqing could call her surname, she naturally felt kind in her heart. She grinned, revealing the gums that were missing a tooth, and said:
"yes!" She glanced at the small courtyard of Ji Ashui with compassion, sighed, and continued, "Speaking of which, the eldest and the little lang of the Ji family are both old ......."
Wei Youqing understood that the "big man and little lang" that the old woman said meant Da Ji and Xiao Ji. Because Daji Xiaoji grew up beside Wei Jingyu since he was a child, he was very promising, and later followed the lord and worked in the capital Luoyang, which was naturally very dazzling.
It is because everyone acquiesces that the two of them are the owners of this small courtyard, and after Ji Ashui came back, his identity was also the father of Ji Dalang and Ji Xiaolang, and he was called "Ji Dad" by people.
Wei Youqing didn't understand that when he was called "Ji Dad" every day, although Ji Ashui readily agreed to this title, he couldn't remember these two sons.
I just listened to the old woman continue to babble: "Just a few days ago, the old man went to give birth to the Chen family lady in the east, and it was not early when he came back, but the moon in the sky was very bright......
When the old woman said this, she kept her mouth shut, her face showed a look of horror, she looked at Wei Youqing with some trepidation, and asked, "The old man heard that the lord is an immortal, but is there such a thing?" ”
Wei Youqing glanced at the old woman with great concern, he didn't want to mention his identity in the cultivation world too much. But the old woman seemed to care about this, and there was a lot of momentum that Wei Youqing wouldn't continue to talk if she didn't answer.
Wei Youqing replied to the question: "Mother-in-law, have you encountered a ghost?" ”
The frightened look on the old woman's face was even worse, she took a step closer to Wei Youqing, nodded again and again, and said, "It's the eldest lady of the Naji family...... That good-looking lady of the Ji family...... Da Lang and Xiao Lang's mother's ......"
"Sue coconut." Wei Youqing felt her heart stop beating. It was true that Su Yezi's body was not found back then, but she felt that she was so weak and was tied up by the alienated Ji Ashui, so naturally she would not survive.
"The lady of the Ji family is back?" Wei Youqing asked.
The old woman nodded again and again, looked at Wei Youqing in horror, and said softly: "But the old man heard that the lady of the Ji family has died a long time ago......
"Do you really see that?"
The old woman nodded, but she was puzzled, and shook her head again, she rubbed her head, and said with annoyance: "Although there was a moon and earth that night, it was also a night, and she entered the house in a flash...... Could it be that I read it wrong? ”
Wei Youqing felt that the old woman was not mistaken. But such a thing can't be said, otherwise with the old woman's temperament, this matter will soon spread all over the streets and alleys, and I don't know what will go wrong.
Wei Youqing smiled casually and said, "Even if the lady of the Ji family is not dead, she will not come back." Mother-in-law, don't be afraid, it's common to think that it's dark and wrong. ”
The old woman shook her head, rubbed her head with some doubts, blessed Wei Youqing, and left with a hesitant mutter.
Ru Xin watched the old woman's back go away until she disappeared, then she turned her head to stare at Wei Youqing, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't say it after all.
Although everyone was taboo to mention Ruxin's mother, Ruxin still knew about her mother from various sources.
Wei Youqing naturally understood what it meant for Ru Xin to look at her. He didn't hide what Ru Xin meant, and said apologetically: "Your mother's body was indeed not found back then...... It's a battlefield, you know ......"
Ru Xin didn't wait for Wei Youqing to finish speaking, then nodded, indicating that she understood her father's and brother's hardships. He asked, "In this situation, what is the eldest brother going to do?" ”
Wei Youqing sighed, there are too many things in front of him, and he must do the most important thing first. He replied, "The most important thing now is to find the evil god and destroy him while he is wounded." Otherwise, as he grows up, we won't be able to deal with him at all. ”
Only Wei Youqing understood how urgent this matter was, the growth of divine power was not comparable to immortal power at all, but fortunately, now that there was no saint on Pearl Island, the divine power of the evil god could not grow.
It's just that although Zhuzhu is still young now, more than ten years of time are just a flick of his fingers, and the evil god must be eliminated before Zhuzhu's fifteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. Otherwise, Wei Youqing was worried that he would not be able to prevent the tragedy of Hua Xijian from happening again.
Ru Xin nodded and said, "Now that Zhao Feifei and the poisonous dragon are gone, in my opinion, the two of them are following the evil god to protect the Dharma for him." Although we can't find the evil god, if we gather the strength of the two clans to find Zhao Feifei and the poisonous dragon, we can still find some clues. ”
Wei Youqing nodded, understanding that what Ru Xin said was the truth. Foxes and wolves are both masters of stalking their prey, and they are all over the world. Mu Axiu, who is used to being a hunter, can be found by Quan Ming in one night, which shows that the fox demon's ability to find people is not bad.
The two discussed that they would stop and no longer delay, and rushed to the temple together. All of them were there waiting for the two of them to return.
The two took Xueli and An Lan to the square outside the temple, and saw a crowd of people in the square, young men wearing various colors of grass skirts, singing and dancing around the girls on the field.
This scene Wei Youqing has to watch once a year, and it is no longer unusual, but it is the first time Ruxin has seen it, Rao is young and old, but he still stopped and looked at it carefully.
"The sacrificial ceremony is about to start again, and another year has passed."
Wei Youqing stopped, followed Ruxin's gaze, and admired an enthusiastic Nanren girl, surrounded by four young boys, dancing a cheerful dance that symbolized a good harvest and many children and grandchildren.
