Chapter 208 Xu Jingyang Wakes Up

On the other side of Xie Mansion.

Xie Qing thought about it all night last night and decided to give Yu Tongyan's letter to Xie Ci.

Take the letter out of the envelope.

Written by Aci herself.

Just these four words made Xie Ci's mind go blank for a moment.

Xie Qing had written earlier that he had found Xie Yuan. Xie Ci wondered, since her daughter had survived all these years, was it possible that Yu Tongyan was also alive?

But she couldn't ask.

Nearly twenty years have passed, and the memory of that man has become increasingly vague.

The letter filled three pages.

She and Yu Tongyan each have their own families, and are no longer at the age where they dare to love and hate. The traces left by time are left in the corners of their eyes. Since Yu Tongyan is still alive, Xie Ci's wish is fulfilled.

Apart from Xie Yuan, the other truths of that year were no longer important to Xie Ci.

The candle flame gradually devoured the letter.

It’s great to be alive.

…

Xie Ci sat in the study all night, and Gao Zhenxuan sent someone to call her over.

The sky gradually brightened.

Xie Ci pushed open the door of the study and saw a rare fog on Xiejia Island.

Xie Ci walked through the corridor and came to the front yard leading out of the house. Through layers of mist, she saw Qi Yunshen and Jiang Yunzheng coming together.

Jiang Yunzheng walked closer and stood in front of Xie Ci.

Xie Ci's eyes were a little wet.

They looked at each other in silence for a moment, and Jiang Yunzheng knew what Xie Ci was looking at through her.

Xie Ci spoke:

"When Yuan'er was just born, the clan elders held her in their mouths for fear she would melt, especially my mother. She never had that much patience with me and Xie Jiang. As Yuan'er grew up, I kept thinking about how to teach her to read, understand people, and govern, but before I could even begin, she passed away. I've dreamed countless times of her calling for help from the flood. There's no point in talking about this now. Jiang Yuan was a good subordinate and a very good father. Life is full of disappointments, and Jiang Yuan gave her a lot of love."

Jiang Yunzheng reached out and hugged Xie Ci.

Xie Ci suddenly burst into tears.

Tears soaked the fabric on Jiang Yunzheng's shoulders.

Jiang Yunzheng patted her back, and waited until Xie Ci had cried enough before she said, "Mom, I'm leaving."

Xie Ci let go of her, nodded and said, "Go."

Xie Ci watched Jiang Yunzheng and Qi Yunshen leave.

Xie Yuan once again walked out of her life.

…

When they arrived at the priest's courtyard, the high priest was already waiting inside.

These days, Jiang Yunzheng needs to cleanse herself and get rid of her thoughts. She lives in the courtyard where Xie Jiang used to live.

The high priest entered the yard first, leaving time for Jiang Yunzheng and Qi Yunshen to chat.

The two just hugged each other quietly.

Qi Yunshen said the same thing as before: "I'll wait for you to come back."

Jiang Yunzheng's eyes felt sore.

The high priest had previously said that the probability of success was about 60%.

At that time, the high priest laughed at Jiang Yunzheng's despair: "The worst that can happen is that your soul will be scattered. However, you should have died more than four years ago, so whether you succeed or not this time is nothing more than icing on the cake."

What he said makes sense.

Jiang Yunzheng raised her eyes and looked fixedly at Qi Yunshen's cheek.

"I'm going in."

Qi Yunshen looked at her deeply.

Jiang Yunzheng let go of him and entered the yard.

Qi Yunshen called her: "Jingyang."

Jiang Yunzheng turned around and smiled at Qi Yunshen: "I will come back."

According to the high priest's method, the simplest way to cleanse the body and stop thinking is to fast for two days, then feed Jiang Yunzheng a pill and let him sleep for two days to wash away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and then wake up on the day when the five stars reunite.

The servant in the yard first took Jiang Yunzheng to bathe in the hot spring by the waterfall.

Then he officially started fasting. Jiang Yunzheng took the pills and slept in the yard for two days.

The yellow paper talisman pasted on the head of the bed in the main room was glowing faintly.

Jiang Yunzheng had the same dream again this time.

The last time she had this dream was the night she and Yu Zheng were being chased.

Jiang Yunzheng continued walking along the river, surrounded by thick fog. A melodious bell rang out from the front. She looked ahead, and the fog faded away. A high priest in white sat at the bridgehead, holding a bell in his hand, his eyes full of compassion.

"Soul, come back."

Jiang Yunzheng came before the high priest.

The high priest was in front, and Jiang Yunzheng followed behind him.

Jiang Yunzheng walked for a long, long time...

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on a long stone table beside the waterfall in the priest's courtyard.

She couldn't move a muscle.

As far as the eye could see, a body glowing with golden light was lying not far away from him.

Jiang Yunzheng's consciousness faded, her eyes slowly closed, and her limbs seemed to be soaked in warm water. At this moment, she felt a pain in her heart, as if something was about to be peeled off from her body.

Before Jiang Yunzheng closed her eyes completely, she vaguely saw the man under the tree.

…

Will wake up...

On the top of the Priest's Court Hill, a scene similar to that of Baiyun Temple appeared.

A beam of light descended from the sky, and the body was surrounded by light.

At the Xie Mansion, Xie Ci stood on a high place looking towards the direction of the Priest Court, with Xie Qing standing behind her.

Xie Ci said calmly, "Qing'er, wait until the Daliang matter is done, then return to the island. Xie Xuan still needs you."

Xie Qing: "Yes."

Xie Ci: "You are too impatient when it comes to her affairs."

Xie Qing knew that the person Xie Ci was talking about was Jiang Yunzheng.

Xie Qing lowered his eyes, "Mom, I know I was wrong."

At that time, Xie Qing was filled with anger and resentment. He hated Xu Jingyang for taking possession of his sister's body and using some shameful means.

Xie Ci shook her head and said nothing. Only when the hill over there gradually darkened did Xie Ci and her son return to the yard.

Xu Jingyang woke up on a sunny day with no clouds in the sky.

Six days have passed since that day.

During these days, Qi Yunshen was guarding the yard without sleep, and even Hou Yue could not get close to Xu Jingyang.

Only now did Hou Yue fully understand the whole story.

It turns out that Jiang Yunzheng is Xu Jingyang.

The high priest was pleased with the silence and shook his head: "If I had known earlier, I would have only used Qi Yunshen. There would have been no need to bring you here."

Hou Yue sat outside the courtyard, pretending not to hear and concentrating on eating the hairy crabs cooked in the Priest Court kitchen. "Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea. I'll go find you, the chef, to learn some tips later."

The high priest glanced at the sky and said, "This should be the day."

Hou Yue: "What?"

In the main room, Qi Yunshen was flipping through the medical books.

A hoarse female voice came.

"Who are you?"

Qi Yunshen paused, closed the book and looked at the woman opposite him.

Xu Jingyang sat up, and Qi Yunshen's figure was reflected in his clear and watery black eyes.

Don't talk to the person opposite you.

Xu Jingyang frowned: "Who are you?"
