Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 720: Legend of Ancient Sword 36

Everyone went to the cave where only a pile of ashes remained, and put all the ashes into the dark wood box provided by Jiang Xinxin, preparing to find a suitable place to bury the family of three. At the same time, they also took away the jade pendant fragments that Luo Yunping deliberately left on the mountain wall.

Ling Yue took the fragment of the jade pendant in his hand and said earnestly: "The effect of this fragment of the jade pendant is really incredible. I don't know what effect the remaining fragments will have on humans or monsters, but the most important thing at the moment is to collect all the fragments of the jade pendant as soon as possible and don't let them be lost."

Jiang Xinxin very much agreed with Ling Yue's decision, Hongyu also agreed with Ling Yue's words, and Fuqiu believed whatever Ling Yue said. Baili Tusu and Feng Qingxue also had nothing to say. Ouyang Shaogong was a little worried that he would no longer be able to have the jade pendant once all the jade pendants were collected, but the most important thing right now was to collect all the jade pendants.

Everyone else was just watching the fun, Fang Lansheng suddenly felt heroic: "What are we waiting for? Let's use the candle dragon scales to divine the whereabouts of the remaining jade pieces!"

What Fang Lansheng said made sense, but Ling Yue and Jiang Xinxin thought that things in the village still needed to be dealt with, so they decided to split up and act in two groups.

Ling Yue suggested: "Tu Su still needs to rest, we will stay at Luo's house for one night today, and I will take care of the whereabouts of the jade pendant fragments. As for the Luo's family, you who have already appeared in the village need to make a decision."

Yin Qianshang was in the mood to drink now. He took a sip of wine to ease his mood, and then suggested, "First of all, it's better not to damage the reputation of the two elders of the Luo family and Doctor Luo. Doctor Luo previously claimed that the two elders were paralyzed in bed and it was inconvenient to move, so other people in the village had to move, but Doctor Luo decided to stay. This is something everyone in the village knows."

"Secondly, this village has almost become a place without spiritual energy. It will be impossible to recover in 20 to 30 years. Even if there is no shortage of water, the harvest of crops and medicinal herbs is still very poor. It is better to move away. And even if we cast a spell to replenish the spiritual energy, how can we think of a way to explain the matter of the three members of the Luo family?"

Now that Ling Yue is here, Jiang Xinxin doesn't need to step forward. Sure enough, she heard Ling Yue say, "Doctor Luo has already taken a lot of the sins he has committed. We really can't continue to add insult to injury. Why don't we just tell the villagers that a vine monster has appeared in the back mountain, and it is the culprit that caused the loss of livestock in the village. The vine monster has become more and more rampant in the past two days. While Doctor Luo was out collecting herbs, it actually kidnapped the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the Luo family."

"Everyone followed the trail all the way to find it, but in the end they were powerless and the vine monster killed the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the Luo family. When Doctor Luo saw his parents die, he got angry and set the vine monster on fire, and died together with the vine monster."

Jiang Xinxin had no objection at all. "In this way, we can use the excuse that Dr. Luo regretted not taking Luo's father-in-law and mother-in-law away in time before his death to urge other people in the village to leave as soon as possible."

The others also thought that there was nothing wrong with this argument, but Jiang Xinxin said, "The rest of us don't have to show up, let Brother Yin and Tu Su take Lansheng and Xiangling with them."

Everyone else also said it was no problem, and the rest of the matters were left to Ling Yue. Jiang Xinxin, accompanied Ouyang Shaogong and Aunt Tong to find a place outside the village to rest temporarily. They would go to the Luo family's house to meet up with everyone at night when no one was paying attention.

Because Ling Yue was nearby, even if Jiang Xinxin had the chance to be alone with Ouyang Shaogong and Aunt Tong at this moment, she was only concerned about Aunt Tong's health, but Ouyang Shaogong had something to say.

Ouyang Shaogong still had his usual smile on his face, and asked casually, "Xinxin, do you think Lingyue and Hongyu will be suspicious of me?"

Jiang Xinxin looked at Aunt Tong first, and then turned her gaze to Ouyang Shaogong. Seeing this, Ouyang Shaogong's smile deepened, and Aunt Tong obviously thought that Jiang Xinxin's behavior meant that her identity should have been exposed.

Jiang Xinxin said: "So you still feel that the world has failed you."

Aunt Tong tightened her grip, but she didn't say anything. She just couldn't help but turn her head and look at Ouyang Shaogong.

Ouyang Shaogong no longer wanted to hide the fact that Xunfang was the first person who was willing to marry him after knowing all his shameful past. However, such a wonderful person first had to experience the destruction of Penglai Country, and later had to rely on poisonous insects to barely survive!

Ouyang Shaogong nodded and lowered his eyes, smiling softly, his anger and resentment in his heart no longer bothered to hide, "Shouldn't I be resentful?!"

Aunt Tong looked at Ouyang Shaogong nervously, and then looked at Jiang Xinxin with a pleading look. Jiang Xinxin ignored the pleading look in Aunt Tong's eyes and asked directly: "Do you know why I insist that you personally execute those hopeless people? Do you also know why I insist that you personally supervise the matter of letting those innocent people return home?"

"You want to gather all the fragments of the jade pendant. Am I stopping you from taking action?"

Ouyang Shaogong interrupted Jiang Xinxin: "Then why did you choose Baili Tu Su instead of me in the first place?!"

Jiang Xinxin didn't want to say anything. The content of her deal with Nuwa was just one Baili Tusu. She asked calmly, "Because you have sinned deeply and there is no cure."

More than ten years ago, Lei Yan was just an ordinary disciple in Qingyutan with decent medical skills. At most, because his master was an elder, he enjoyed many privileges in Qingyutan.

But Lei Yan had joined forces with Ouyang Shaogong to break the barrier of Wumeng Spirit Valley more than ten years ago and massacred all of Han Yunxi's clansmen in the Wumeng Spirit Valley. Even if Baili Tu Su had not relied on half of the sword power of the Fen Ji Sword to survive, those people who had lived in Wumeng Spirit Valley for generations would have been exterminated long ago.

Moreover, it is impossible that Lei Yan suddenly knew about the existence of Yuhuang. Even those elixirs that can transform people cannot be refined by the disciples of Qingyutan themselves. The person who pushed everything behind the scenes is none other than Ouyang Shaogong.

Jiang Xinxin felt that she had already given Ouyang Shaogong a chance by not revealing his true identity in front of everyone until now.

In fact, these days, the more Jiang Xinxin thought about it, the more she felt that she was wrong to let Ouyang Shaogong go. So when she saw Ouyang Shaogong looking at her indignantly, she couldn't help but sneer and said, "If you could rely on your courage to directly confront the Emperor Fuxi, I would still admire your strong character and indomitable spirit of resistance. But you just picked on the weak and bullied them. You are a typical person who picks on the weak. Why do you want me to choose you?!"

Aunt Tong, or Xunfang, finally stopped being silent. She asked Jiang Xinxin in a trembling voice, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Xinxin looked at Xunfang, sighed softly, and said: "You pity Prince Changqin who fell from heaven to dust and had to roll in the mud to survive, but you have never had any pity for those innocent people whose bodies and identities he occupied."

"You are the princess of Penglai, and you have practiced various magic since childhood. You should be very clear about some principles, especially those innocent people whose bodies and identities he stole. Even if they entered the underworld early, their fates were disturbed by him, and he even added many causes and consequences for no reason."

Xunfang had indeed not thought about these things. Back then, she ran away from Penglai Island secretly to play in the Central Plains. When she reached Hengshan, she was trapped on the mountain by the ice and snow. She was rescued from the wolf monster by Ouyang Shaogong, and saw the record of Prince Changqin's continuous soul-transferring in a cave.

At that time, out of preconceived gratitude for saving her life, she felt pity for Prince Changqin's experience. The two gradually became closer, and finally returned to Penglai Island, where they became husband and wife in the presence of their relatives and friends.

Now that Jiang Xinxin has revealed the real vulnerable group behind the pitiful Prince Changqin, she can no longer deceive herself.

Ouyang Shaogong carefully held Xunfang in his arms. He really didn't want to lose Xunfang's only sweetness and trust. He wanted to take Xunfang away from here immediately. It would be best if he could think of a way to make Xunfang forget everything she heard today. The two of them would go to a place where no one would disturb them and live a peaceful and happy life!

Jiang Xinxin, who had thought it through, would not leave any face for Ouyang Shaogong, and directly asked: "Ouyang Shaogong, have you forgotten how many lives you have harmed by using Lei Yan?"
