Chapter 181 Barrier
Hu Xin'er wiped away her tears and had to tell the truth: "That woman is Mu Qing's biological mother!"
"What?" The princess almost cried out, "Are you right? You said Mu Qing's mother is still alive and in the capital?"
How could this be possible? What mother in the world would let her son disappear?
And if Mu Qing was missing, she should have posted a notice to look for him.
If a notice were posted looking for someone who looked like Lu Yunjue, he would definitely attract attention.
But in all these years, I have never seen a notice like this!
"Yes, and she is the boss of Chunfengzui!" Hu Xiner dropped another bombshell.
"How did you know?" The eldest princess was very surprised.
"That day, Feng Ge lured away the guards in the mansion and took me out just to let me see this portrait." Hu Xiner stated.
The eldest princess was puzzled. "Why didn't he just come over with the portrait? Or leave it at the door?"
This reminded Hu Xin'er, and she said uncertainly, "Maybe he forgot, or maybe..."
Before she could finish, the princess emphasized and asked again, "Are you really sure that woman is Mu Qing's mother?"
Hu Xiner explained, "You know, Mu Qing has lost his memory, and the only memory he has is of his mother! He shouldn't be mistaken."
She took the eldest princess's hand and pleaded incoherently, "Help me find that woman quickly. Maybe that way we can find Mu Qing!"
"Then how can I help you find that woman?" The eldest princess was a little distressed.
"Draw according to the portrait first!" Hu Xin'er once again used her magic pen to quickly draw the woman's face and clothes.
A quarter of an hour later.
Following the painting, the eldest princess stood in front of Hu Xin'er, her hands on her hips, panting. "I have successfully asked around. Someone saw that woman go to the Taoist temple on the mountain."
The nearest gym nearby is Luoyun Temple, which is where he was chased last time.
This time, it was that Taoist temple again!
The eldest princess accompanied Hu Xiner to look for the stall and handed over the matter of the bookstall to her lovers.
The journey was not far, but the two of them standing at the gate of Luoyun Temple were both a little bit unbelievable.
What I saw before me was clearly a brand new Taoist temple with the three big words "Luoyun Temple" written on it.
However, the Taoist temple had been destroyed long ago when it was attacked by unidentified people, and the door was covered with sword marks.
But within just a few days, everything has returned to normal?
This is not modern times. Building houses requires real bricks and soil!
Moreover, it returned to its original state within a few days, which inevitably makes people feel a little weird.
At this moment, the door creaked open, and a Taoist priest with white hair and eyebrows walked out, holding a whisk in his hand, and said leisurely, "Greetings, benefactors."
"Are you Taoist Yiqing?" Hu Xiner asked with some doubt.
Taoist Master Yiqing is the title of the master of this temple.
But... this Taoist priest looks very kind, how could he make Mu Qing so scared after waking up?
"I am Yiqing," Taoist Master Yiqing nodded, "Please come in, benefactor. The person you are looking for is waiting."
Hu Xin'er looked around cautiously, but didn't act rashly. "Do you know who I'm looking for?"
The Taoist priest smiled and nodded again.
Thinking that since she was already here, Hu Xiner walked in.
"Wait for me!" The eldest princess lifted her skirt and wanted to follow in, but was stopped by the Taoist priest.
"Why are you stopping me?" The eldest princess sneered, "Have you done something wrong? Are you afraid that I will find out?"
Taoist Master Yiqing simply smiled faintly: "There are gods above us, and everything is just following nature. Besides, benefactor, if you had such investigative skills, Mu Qing would have been found long ago."
"He was indeed captured by you!" The eldest princess's eyes turned cold. "Aren't you afraid of being punished by the emperor?"
Taoist Yiqing then said in a fake tone, "The princess has misunderstood! How could we possibly arrest someone?"
"Since you didn't capture him, what are you afraid of? Why won't you let me in?"
The eldest princess questioned with confidence.
"And she can see whoever she wants to see. Don't I have someone I want to see?"
Lord Whitebeard saw him being unreasonable and just smiled without saying anything.
No matter what the eldest princess said, he only allowed Hu Xiner to enter.
Before Hu Xiner went in, she exchanged glances with the eldest princess and pointed with a finger, meaning that if she didn't leave within an incense stick of time, she would send someone over.
This was a secret code that the two of them had agreed upon long ago, and the eldest princess naturally understood it.
Seeing that Hu Xiner had already walked in, Taoist Yiqing closed the door and locked it to prevent anyone from coming out.
From the eldest princess's perspective, this mysterious Taoist temple seemed to have opened its mouth wide, slowly swallowing Mu Qing.
But I was locked outside the door, feeling powerless.
She began to regret that she had left in a hurry and not brought anyone with her. Otherwise, at this time, she would have just had to break down the door like the assassins did last time.
On the other side, as soon as Hu Xiner walked in, she was led into a room and into a familiar tunnel.
She paused at the entrance of the tunnel and asked, "Why wasn't the Taoist priest here when I visited last time?"
Taoist Master Yiqing smiled without saying anything and took her straight to the basement, which was the one that Hu Xiner and others found in the tunnel last time.
Then he stood at the door and said with a smile: "Please!"
Hu Xin'er bent over and walked in, only to see Mu Qing lying on the stone bed in the middle! And next to him stood that woman!
Just like in the portrait, the woman was wearing a dark green dress with narrow sleeves that only reached her ankles to facilitate movement.
Her appearance is not very delicate, but she has a unique charm that makes people unable to take their eyes off her.
When Hu Xiner was drawing, she discovered that the proportions of her face, eyes, and face were far from Mu Qing's standard.
It’s no wonder that the eldest princess doesn’t believe that this is Mu Qing’s mother. After all, he was born with an extraordinary and fairy-like appearance, so how could his parents be ordinary people?
Even Lu's mother was a famous beauty in Kyoto when she was young. Even though she is old, her youthful grace can still be seen, and her every frown and smile can touch people's hearts.
In comparison, the woman lost completely.
The last time we came, the basement was rather dark and everyone was thinking about how to escape quickly, so we didn't look carefully.
This time, candles were burning all around, and the candlelight made the entire cave exceptionally bright. Only the candle shadows were swaying unwillingly in the loneliness, snatching away the already limited oxygen.
The ground was covered with mottled reddish-brown marks, and I could smell a foul odor. I had come here in a hurry before and didn't know why the place looked like this, but now I realized that the ground was covered with dried human blood!
"Mu Qing! Mu Qing!"
Hu Xiner called his name and was about to get closer, but encountered an invisible barrier. What was going on!
