Chapter 186
According to Yunque, she was really worried about Shenjiao and Luzhu.
Shen Jiaoba knew her earlier. The two played together for several days and fought side by side, sharing joys and sorrows and going through some bloody storms. Their relationship was like that of mother and daughter.
As for Lu Zhu, she fell in love with him at first sight. It goes without saying how good he is. Anyway, the moment she saw him, she decided that she would never be separated from him in this life. She felt safe by his side as if she were her own father. When she became a saint in the future, Lu Zhu would be one of the most important divine servants under her command.
The other most important position is naturally reserved for Shen Jiao.
They were both her closest people, but she didn't want them to think she was biased.
Treat her as someone who gets bored easily or thinks she is not as important as the other one.
So I had to think about coaxing this one and then coaxing that one.
Unexpectedly, it was heard.
Yun Que took Shen Jiao and Lu Zhu's hands and put them together and said, "Tian Shu, Lu Zhu, please don't misunderstand me. I really am doing this for the good of the three of us! You are all equally important to me."
She couldn't have been more serious about what she said.
Shen Jiao and Lu Zhu looked at each other, both of them looking like they couldn't help laughing but couldn't laugh.
Shen Jiao said flatteringly, "The Saint is so thoughtful. How could I not understand?"
Lu Zhu also said: "This servant will get along well with Miss Tian, and the Saint Lady does not need to worry."
"Well, it's great that you can think this way. I feel at ease now!"
Skylark breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
Thank goodness they believed it.
If she still can't make sense, she'll be speechless.
After such a thrilling incident, Yunque no longer had any interest in playing. He sent Shen Jiao back to the inn and made an appointment to meet again tomorrow, then took Luzhu back.
Afraid that Shen Jiao would overthink things, he deliberately said, "It's not late, but I need to bring someone back to live with me. I have to tell the elders and find a place to put her. Once I've finished these things, I'll have fun with you tomorrow. Don't be unhappy."
Shen Jiao bowed and said, "I'm not that petty. Please go back, Saint."
"Then I'll go."
The skylark imitated her and bowed, and then left, the wind whistling and the Yishui River cold.
So she also knew that it would be difficult to explain if she brought someone back, right?
Shen Jiao did not return to the inn. Instead, he went to buy some fruits and listen to a story as if it was none of his business.
It tells the story of a mountain god saving people.
I don't know whether it's true or not, but it says that a man's mother was seriously ill, and in order to save his mother, he cut off his flesh and offered it to the mountain god. In the end, the god moved him and saved his mother.
This man was blessed by the mountain god and did not die. He happily lived in seclusion in the mountains with his mother.
As for why he wanted to live in seclusion... not a single word was mentioned.
Shen Jiao was just curious when someone asked her a question. She looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance.
Hao Youqian had completely lost the embarrassment he had that day, and had become a bright and handsome young man in brocade clothes again. There was no gloom on his face, only clear curiosity.
The storyteller did not answer, but asked for a reward instead.
Hao was rich and generous, and he gave a silver ingot as a gift.
After receiving the money, he said, "This gentleman asked a good question..."
Just for this question, he talked for half an hour longer.
But it sounds like a complete fabrication. They even made up a past life for that person, saying that he was a divine servant of the mountain god in his past life, and in this life he was enlightened by the mountain god, so he went into the mountains to practice. It was a mess, and not a single word sounded true.
Hao Youqian seemed quite happy to hear this, probably because he liked to hear a good ending.
Shen Jiao wanted to know the truth even more, so he asked Yun Que the next day.
But she didn't know either: "I wasn't even born at that time, so how would I know? Anyway, everyone said that he went into the mountains to practice cultivation, or that he was taken away by the mountain god."
"Isn't that death?"
"Don't talk nonsense. What those people meant was that the mountain god was moved by his filial piety and took him and his mother away alive, allowing him to live forever, which is what everyone dreams of.
but……"
Skylark whispered,
"That happened a long, long time ago. No one knows what happened. As an outsider, just listen to it, but don't look for it."
Shen Jiao frowned: "Has anyone looked for it?"
"Yes, there are many. I remember a few years ago, there was a foreigner who was obsessed with this story. He also wanted to live forever, so he asked around about cutting off his own flesh to offer to the gods, hoping to imitate that man and impress the mountain god. He even went to the mountain god's temple and ate a lot of holy fruit, but the mountain god ignored him all the time, and the elders of the tribe didn't agree either. As a result, he actually sneaked out at night and cut off his own flesh in the mountain god's temple.
When they found him the next day, he was almost dying. Seeing that he was just stupid and not a bad person, the tribesmen made an exception and used holy medicine to save him. They told him to heal his wounds and leave. But he not only did not leave, he ran to the mountains to find that person.
He never came back, and he's probably dead. We searched for him but couldn't find him. Do you remember which restaurant he went to for the lychee roast goose? The owner's wife, that man's wife, waited and waited but couldn't find him. She didn't dare leave alone, so she took her son and remarried. Her cries were heard every day during that time.
Yunque and Shenjiao are having a great time together, but I don’t want her to do anything stupid like that.
I also don’t want to become someone who cries every day and looks for friends everywhere.
Shen Jiao wondered, "Since he has a wife and children, how could he have run away twice without them knowing about it?"
"If he had known, he would not have been able to escape. At that time, he was thinking about this matter every day. His wife and children tried to persuade him every day, but they could not persuade him. The man also persuaded his wife and children to think about it with him. Seeing that they were unwilling, he told them that he would come back to pick them up after he became an immortal.
Many people had heard them quarreling, and his wife and children separated from him out of anger, so they had no idea when he ran away for the first time.
The second time, before the accident, he was staying at the home of a clan leader. His wife and children went to persuade him again, but the three of them quarreled again. In anger, they abandoned him and returned to the inn. The man lied to the servants, saying that he was going to apologize to his wife, but he actually ran away into the mountains..."
At that time, he was living in the house of a wealthy family. All the servants who had taken care of him knew about this, so Yunque knew it very clearly because she had asked.
Shen Jiao was overwhelmed by what she heard: "Then this person is really stupid, seeking death."
"Who says it isn't? The people in the big clan's house get angry whenever they talk about this. We had a lot of trouble rescuing that man back then. Anyway, since then, everyone has hated you outsiders even more. To be honest, it's you outsiders who are the most interested in these things. We don't even talk about them much."
Yunque and the others have been listening to these stories since they were young, and their ears are almost callused. Let alone looking for them, they are too lazy to even mention them.
