Chapter 550 How did the child disappear?

Now the Da'an Kingdom and the Darong Kingdom have temporarily reconciled.

Because the War King once went to the Darong Kingdom and became famous! They signed a thirty-year peace treaty of non-aggression.

Liao Jiu knew all this.

Jiang Lianzhu listened curiously, "And then?"

"My wife is a shrine maiden with double pupils. Every time the moon is full, a strange phenomenon occurs, producing a red light that can connect to the moon. Through the moon, she can see anywhere the moon shines on. It's quite magical..."

Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu had never heard of such a strange sight.

Jiang Lianzhu couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that the totem of their Great Rong nation is related to the moon?"

Lao Yu nodded and smiled, "Exactly. The totem is the moon. The Wu Clan is also called the Moon Worshiper. My wife was a victim of the dispute among the royal family over the position of crown prince. When she was born, a blood moon appeared in the night sky. Her eyes were open at birth, and they were blood red. This was an omen for the birth of a witch. But she was secretly taken away by a pregnant woman bribed by her uncle who was fighting for power. She suffered physical damage, and although she survived, she also had considerable sequelae. She was often in poor health and was not suitable for giving birth..."

Neither of them interrupted Lao Yu again.

Let him speak for himself.

"But she insisted on having a child for me. I didn't know any of this. I only found out after the child was born. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let her have the baby. It just so happened that the moon was full when she gave birth. In her efforts to give birth, she couldn't control the magical power in her body and was nearly devoured and killed. The situation was extremely dangerous. I was worried she wouldn't make it, so I used my inner energy to keep her alive, and she survived the night..."

An expression of deep remorse suddenly appeared on the old fisherman's face.

"The next day, I saved my wife's life, but the midwife brought in a dead baby, saying that our daughter had died. My wife immediately said that the child was not hers, that it was a fake. I ordered a thorough investigation, and it turned out to be a fake dead baby. Our real daughter had disappeared..."

Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu were so shocked that they dared not utter a word.

There is such an inside story!

"How did the child disappear?"

"Someone switched things up with a dead baby. An old man in the mansion was bribed. Oh, if only I could turn back time. I honestly couldn't take care of the child back then, and my wife was in imminent danger. It was all my fault!! Later, my wife became even weaker after giving birth, but every full moon, she used her magic to search for the child's whereabouts. She left a mark on the child, a half-moon-shaped birthmark..."

"Have you found it?" Jiang Lianzhu asked.

Lao Yu sighed, "Although she could see where the moon shone, the sea of people was too vast to be found. She could only connect to the moon when the moon was full, and each connection consumed magical power. She was frail and sickly. After every full moon, she would be sick for several days. Her energy was weak and her body was weak. Coupled with missing her daughter, her condition worsened. The last time, she said that she found the trace of her presence on the top of the highest snow-capped mountain in Darong Country, so I took her to Darong Country..."

"She has always been repulsive to the Darong Nation. She didn't want to return to Darong, even though her people, relatives, and those who had harmed her were there. She was kind-hearted and didn't want to care about them. But in order to find her daughter, she risked her life to return."

"We went through untold hardships and finally found the mark of her presence on the top of the snowy mountain. It was a small piece of flesh that had been dug out, but we still haven't found our daughter. All her flesh had been dug out, and I think she was in great danger. My wife couldn't hold on and passed away."

When he said this, a sparkling light appeared in Lao Yu's eyes.

No tears, it is a kind of gentle light of remembrance.

It is an aftertaste and careful savoring of the beautiful life, its sweetness, bitterness and spiciness.

The old fisherman said, "Perhaps it's retribution for the excessive killing I've done in my life, resulting in the death of my wife and the separation of my daughters. I refused to accept my fate. I held my wife's body and went to find the chief witch from a tribe near the snow-capped mountains. The chief witch has the ability to resurrect, and my wife is a natural-born witch. If we harness the power of the witch tribe's moon, perhaps she can be saved. The chief witch looked at my wife's condition and said he could! We'll wait for the full moon, and then, at the top of the snow-capped mountains, cast a spell to save her life..."

Jiang Lianzhu became nervous.

"This is obviously a setup. Do you agree? How could it be such a coincidence that the human skin was found in the snowy mountains? There's a tribal witch at the foot of the mountains who can save people..."

Lao Yu laughed bitterly, "I had my doubts at the time, and my subordinates tried to stop me from agreeing, but I couldn't let go of my wife. I really wanted her to be resurrected, and I also wanted to find our daughter."

Jiang Lianzhu understood a little, "That's when you were infected with the cold poison?"

The old fisherman shook his head and nodded again. "The great witch asked me to eat a soul-calling flower that grows on the snowy mountains. I was told to call my wife's soul back because she is a witch. There are blood moons in her eyes. Blood moons belong to the element of fire. The ice and snow must melt to counteract them before her soul can return... I did everything I was told."

"It's quite effective. After my wife returned to life, she lived for two days. She called me stupid, saying that the witch knew my identity and had tricked me with a cold poison spell. The spell only lasts three days, and the person will die anyway. It wasn't worth the price. Then, before she died, my wife used her last remaining witchcraft power to cast a spell on me. As long as I don't enter the area of the snowy mountain, the cold poison in my body won't recur..."

Liao Jiu said, "So, your health had been fine before, even when you were fighting for the Da'an Kingdom. But a few years ago, after you went to the Darong Kingdom, the cold poison recurred?"

Lao Yu nodded. "Yes, at that time, the war situation in the Darong Kingdom was urgent, so I had to go. I originally wanted to avoid that snow mountain, but in the end, for various reasons, I couldn't avoid it. After returning to the country, the cold poison began to relapse..."

…

The whole story has been told.

The amount of information included was quite large, and Jiang Lianzhu took a long time to digest it.

The cause and effect are so interconnected that it is too difficult.

I didn't expect the War King's wife to have such a rough life. So many things happened to them. The Darong Kingdom is so strange. Witchcraft really exists. There are soul-returning spells, the blood moon eye, the moon totem, all kinds of bloody struggles for power, and the missing daughter is so tragic. A piece of her skin was dug out. Who knows if she is still alive? It's so unfortunate and tragic...

"Thank you so much for trusting us and sharing so many secrets with us. So, is the cold poison in your body caused by the soul-calling flower you ate from the snowy mountains?"

Lao Yu hummed, "Yes, after eating it, my whole body was cold. In the following years, my wife cast a protective spell on me, so I didn't feel anything unusual. It wasn't until it was triggered again that the cold poison started to take effect..."
