After listening to Chu Yunling's story, everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.
Immortals, small ginseng and the like are completely beyond their cognition.
Apart from Wen Chichu, Yanyan and Yu Jiming, grandfather and grandson, who had been to Chunshan and witnessed the mysterious methods of the man in black robes with their own eyes, the others, Wen Mo, Wen Yu and Wen Shuting, didn't know what to say.
Wen Shuting sighed and summed it up in one sentence:
"Whether Suisui is a human or a fairy ginseng, she is still our child."
This is of course a tacit understanding that everyone has without having to say it.
They are just worried.
Wen Mo spoke softly:
"So this is the real reason why Sui Sui was kidnapped?"
The ward was very quiet and everyone heard this sentence clearly.
Even Chu Yunling couldn't help but hug Sui Sui tightly, as if she was hugging her coveted treasure, her hands were shaking!
"What? What does this mean? Has Sui Sui ever been kidnapped?"
Chu Yunling was extremely nervous.
In front of her mother, Wen Mo is a well-behaved little girl who has completely let down her guard and has no sharp edges. Her eyes are full of admiration and longing for her mother.
Before Wen Yu could speak out to stop her, she decisively told him about how Sui Sui was kidnapped to the laboratory.
"...I did hear William say that his uncle bought an extremely rare ginseng. But when we arrived at the laboratory, we saw not ginseng but a child. Naturally, I thought they were crazy, but I didn't expect that what they said was true."
Wen Mo frowned slightly, realizing that the situation was a little bad.
To be exact, everyone present realized it.
Wen Mo had mentioned this matter before, but no one took it seriously.
Who would have thought that such a shocking secret would be hidden here!
"It seems someone has discovered Sui Sui's identity."
Wen Mo made a conclusion and his face looked extremely ugly.
Chu Yan also spoke:
"Could it be the person we met in the mountains?"
Chu Yunling's eyes were gloomy, but she shook her head to deny this statement:
"I know the person who appeared in the mountains. That person... he was the companion of one of our ancestors."
Wen Chi blurted out:
"An ancestor's companion? How old would that be? An old monster?"
It was more difficult for Chu Yunling to talk about this matter than to talk about the secrets of the Chu family.
Because to them, the existence of this person is a disgrace to the entire Chu family.
"This man is Ji Wuji. He and my ancestor Chu He were originally a deeply loving couple of immortals. They dedicated themselves to helping the world and were truly compassionate. Later, my ancestor Chu He was nearly killed by a great epidemic, causing illness among the people. After surviving the disaster, he was able to achieve immortality through his merits. But this Ji Wuji... failed."
Chu Yunling did not explain the reason for the failure, but everyone present was smart and could guess human nature.
A major epidemic is also a true natural disaster, and there are very few people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others.
This Ji Wuji might be able to show his kindness within his ability, but he would never give up his own life!
Since he failed, it means that he most likely escaped at the critical moment!
Chu Yunling smiled bitterly:
"To be honest, everyone has selfish desires, and it's naturally impossible to pursue selfless love. But the problem is that my senior, Fairy Chuhe, ascended to become an immortal, but Ji Wuji stayed behind. He felt very unbalanced and fell into paranoia, gradually becoming insane, and eventually set his sights on the White Jade Spirit Ginseng!"
What Ji Wuji cares about most is not that someone ascended to become an immortal, but that the person who ascended to become an immortal is Chu He and not him!
It is obvious that they both travel the world and save people, so why can Chu He do it but he can't?
Ji Wuji felt that the way of heaven was unfair to him, and with his inner anger and twistedness, he finally embarked on the evil path.
"...The White Jade Spiritual Ginseng is a spiritual object of heaven and earth, so it's naturally not easy to obtain. To take it would mean bearing immense sin and eternal damnation. Therefore, Ji Wuji devised all sorts of schemes, using every possible means. Over the years, our Chu family has battled him for generations, but we can't claim to have gained the upper hand; we can only say we're evenly matched."
Otherwise, the Chu family’s bloodline wouldn’t be so thin that she would be the only one left.
Of course, the four children in front of her are all the blood and inheritance of the Chu family.
For this reason, Chu Yunling's heavy mood was inevitably comforted.
Wen Chi was the most surprised and said:
"Wait, they've been fighting for generations... so this Ji Wuji is really an old monster?"
Chu Yunling curled her lips, thinking it was great that her youngest son was so energetic, and answered patiently:
"Our elder Chu He ascended to heaven over three hundred years ago and was the last cultivator to ascend from the land. So, if Ji Wuji is not mistaken, he is already three hundred and fifty-nine years old this year."
Wen Chi murmured in shock:
“Is there really someone who can live that long…”
Immortality!
This is the dream that countless emperors have been pursuing throughout history!
But it turns out that a goal that cannot be achieved even with the efforts of the entire country really exists in this world?
Wen Chi couldn't help but ask with great interest:
"Can all cultivators live this long?"
I almost asked: Mom, do you think I can do this?
Chu Yunling was very amused:
"Although there are still cultivators now, in the Dharma Ending Age, the Xuan Sect has declined and is no longer what it once was! Moreover, even in its heyday, it's not reasonable for people to live for three or five hundred years at a time. The operation of the world has its own rules. If all resources are monopolized by these immortal old monsters, where will the power come from to be shared with the young?"
Chu Yunling was very open-minded about this.
She was once obsessed with the world of cultivation where one could fly into the sky and into the earth.
But now I feel that perhaps ordinary happiness is the best.
However, Wen Chi was still curious and asked twice more, almost making Wen Yu annoyed.
Wen Yu glanced at him:
"Your mother is very tired, can't she take a break?"
Wen Chi's lips moved silently, but he didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be his father Wen Yu who would teach him a lesson.
Chu Yunling came out with a smile to stop him:
"It's okay, I got carried away. Xiao Chi, don't even think about it. There's absolutely no way such a thing could happen. The reason Ji Wuji has lived for so many years is because he's used the most vicious means to prolong his life, constantly devouring the essence, blood, flesh, and luck of ordinary people to nourish himself. He's the greatest sinner in this world, a walking source of evil! He lives in agony every day and night! If I'm not mistaken, he must have been in seclusion for a long time these years. If he shows up, it will be a heavenly calamity!"
This is also why when Chu Yunling saw the man in black robe that day, he said with certainty that it was just Ji Wuji's puppet!
If the real Ji Wuji appears, the world will not be so peaceful!
And the puppet's strength is far inferior to Ji Wuji!
