Chapter 536: Past Events in the Capital
Xu Chuangu looked up at Yan Shaoyu, seemingly hesitating whether to tell him about this.
Yan Shaoyu frowned, his eyes became sharp: "Uncle Xu, I will return to the capital sooner or later."
If this is really a conspiracy controlled by someone, then knowing about it in advance would definitely allow us to take maximum precautions. On the contrary, if we can't even get the most basic information, what else can we talk about?
Xu Chuangu looked at him for a long while, nodded silently, and then he told him what he knew twenty years ago: "I was only twenty years old that year, and I was still an adjutant following behind your father."
The capital city is well-connected, and the ancestors of the Yan family were all wealthy. Yan Shouzhi was also a capable man and became famous early on.
Xu Chuangu's eyes showed some nostalgia: "When your father was young, he was a troublemaker in the capital. Wherever he went, countless girls fell in love with him. They were hoping that Commander Yan, who was riding a horse at full speed, would send his adjutant to propose marriage."
Yan Shaoyu didn't respond, his expression was strange and indifferent, and he was obviously not interested in this matter.
He just wanted to know the whole story of black magic and the art of resurrection, as well as the reason for Tian Jing's resurrection.
Xu Chuangu seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "There is something I need to tell you in advance. The resurrection technique you want to know happened to your aunt Ji Ran MLZL. She was the source of the sensation more than 20 years ago."
Yan Shaoyu was shocked, and his long eyebrows suddenly frowned: "So, Uncle Xu knows a Feng Shui master with this ability?"
If Ji Ran was the source of the incident, then Xu Chuangu must have seen the Feng Shui master who performed the magic.
Talking about this mysterious thing really makes one's heart tighten, and it feels indescribably thrilling.
Xu Chuangu's expression became complicated. He rubbed his teeth and said, "That person is your mother."
Yan Shaoyu suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Xu Chuangu in disbelief. After a long while, he seemed to realize that he was not joking. His Adam's apple slid slightly: "Uncle Xu, although my mother has a strong temper, she has never done anything weird. How could she be the Feng Shui master you mentioned?"
Xu Chuangu sighed, "I didn't lie to you. There is one thing you should know, right? Although your mother was born in the Ji family, she was born during the war and was weak. She was left in a farmhouse and returned to the Ji family more than a decade later when she grew up."
Yan Shaoyu frowned and nodded: "I heard about it from my grandfather."
Xu Chuangu nodded: "During those years of wandering, your mother learned a lot of things, including Feng Shui."
"Your mother was alone and wandering for many years. She was most attached to her family. After returning to the capital, your aunt Ji Ran had the best relationship with her. They ate and slept together without any grudges until Ji Ran became critically ill and was dying."
"I don't know the details of what happened. I only know that Ji Ran was confirmed dead by the doctor. They were going to hold a funeral and even invited guests. But who knew that she came back to life inexplicably and is living well, just like an ordinary person."
"This incident caused a sensation for a while, and newspapers took turns reporting on it. In the end, it was suppressed only after the higher-ups intervened."
"Ordinary people thought that resurrection was just a way for the upper class to attract attention, and the matter was soon settled."
"But they don't know that the Ji family has already caught the eyes of the powerful and is being closely watched."
Yan Shaoyu's mood fluctuated as he listened to these events of the capital's past that were completely unfamiliar to him.
Xu Chuangu didn't keep him in suspense and lowered his voice, "Everyone is asking about Ji Ran, but little do they know that before and after Ji Ran's accident, there was something that no one else knew about. Your mother came to borrow something from your father."
Yan Shaoyu's back tensed, and his narrow eyes flashed: "Uncle Xu is talking about, is it the jade token of our Yan family?"
Xu Chuangu was stunned and asked in surprise: "You know? Did your mother tell you?"
He shook his head, and couldn't help but clench his hands tightly together, but he didn't explain.
The jade token has now become one with Gu Yuehuai's painting scroll and has become a kind of ability of her own. However, it seems that her mother Ji Qing, a Feng Shui master, discovered the difference of the Yan family's jade token many years ago.
Xu Chuangu did not ask any more questions and continued, "The jade token was an ancestral heirloom of the Yan family and was meant to be passed down to the eldest daughter-in-law. At that time, your parents only knew each other and had not yet fallen in love. Many things happened in between, so the jade token was borrowed anyway."
"Later, Ji Ran came back to life, and Ji Qing returned the jade token."
"I once heard her say that the older the jade, the more spiritual it is. The Yan family jade plaque is well-known in the capital, so maybe that's why she came to borrow it. But I don't know if Ji Ran's work has anything to do with this matter."
"Everyone was trying to find out Ji Ran's secrets, and she became the target of public criticism. Later, your parents got married, and Ji Ran was protected by the Yan family. In addition, the policy did not allow such things to be mentioned, so the matter was left unresolved."
"However, some people did not give up and traveled across the ocean to find some sorcerers, hoping to replicate this bizarre incident."
"If you hadn't mentioned Shi Wanting's story tonight, I wouldn't have told you about Ji Ran. Their experiences are somewhat similar, but as you said, Ji Ran didn't have a Feng Shui master by her side at the time. How could she have survived?"
Xu Chuangu frowned, his face looking heavy and confused.
Yan Shaoyu narrowed his eyes and asked, "After Ji Ran came back to life, is he any different from before?"
Xu Chuangu was stunned and fell into deep thought. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't know Ji Ran, but her relationship with your mother remained the same after she came back to life. I just didn't expect her personality to change so drastically after marrying into the Jiang family."
Talking about this, Xu Chuangu's tone became a little more complicated. He knew very well how uncomfortable Ji Ran's betrayal would make Ji Qing.
Yan Shaoyu took a deep breath and said, "It seems that Shi Wanting's matter has nothing to do with the sorcerer."
Xu Chuangu nodded, but still reminded: "Resurrection from the dead is unnatural and is not a good sign. You should keep an eye on Shi Wanting. If you find anything, tell me immediately."
Yan Shaoyu nodded: "Don't worry, Uncle Xu."
The information he learned tonight was beyond his expectations. After leaving Xu Chuangu's residence, he returned to the dormitory.
But these things also made him think of a very bold guess.
Ji Ran was able to survive, on the one hand, because Ji Qing, a Feng Shui master, was hanging on to his life, and on the other hand, he was rescued by force with the help of a jade token with healing power. It cannot be considered a true resurrection technique.
And there is a high probability that the evil spirit in Shi Wanting's body is Tian Jing!
Tian Jing died in the Sumeru space, and the ghost in her belly was killed by the healing power. Perhaps it was because of the healing power that such an unnatural ghost like Tian Jing retained a trace of consciousness. And this trace of consciousness took advantage of the opportunity to occupy her body when Gu Yuehuai rescued Shi Wanting tonight!
