Chapter 136 Level 2 (6)
A cursing voice came from behind: "Have I been possessed by evil spirits lately? I can't do anything, I'm just like a big jerk."
Tao Zi turned around and saw a burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes sitting on a small boat. He was muttering to his companions with great anger, "I ran into gravediggers while paying respects to an old friend, I was robbed while eating, and my clothes were stolen while I was showering. Now, even entering a ruin, I'm encountering this kind of thing."
Hearing this, many monks around turned their heads away to hold back their laughter, and some even laughed out loud.
Not to mention things like robbery and grave digging, just stealing clothes is something that is rarely seen in a hundred years.
His companion patted his shoulder helplessly and said, "Be patient. Once bad luck passes, good luck will surely come."
He said angrily, "Looking at the situation, I didn't die from bad luck. I should thank God for sparing my life!"
Tao Zi understood his anger. If this had happened to her the last time she entered the ruins, she wouldn't have been in a good mood either.
There are always some people who come to the Xuyan Ruins for the second level, such as that unlucky fellow Taoist, and like her in the past.
As for the reasons, they vary. Perhaps it is because three chances have been missed, or perhaps the heart is not pure and cannot pass the three tests of conscience.
The disciple from the Tiandao Sect also turned to look over and said soothingly, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. Perhaps there will be opportunities in Lianxin Valley."
The man reluctantly said thank you and said no more.
The journey was peaceful and we didn't encounter any monsters or beasts. It must have been caused by the ruins.
Everyone rushed to the Lianxin Valley, where a thick white light enveloped the valley, cutting off all connections between the inside and the outside. Even using spiritual energy, it was impossible to detect the situation inside.
For a moment, no one dared to go in.
Tao Zi's eyes moved. Every time a cultivator entered an illusion, there would be a layer of white light on his body. Could it be that stepping into the Heart Refining Valley meant entering the Gate of Questioning the Heart?
She wasn't the only one who thought of this. The Tiandao Sect disciple who had spoken earlier turned around, bowed to the other cultivators, and took out a jade pendant, saying, "This is my Lianxin Jade. I will leave it to you, Junior Brother, and I will go into the valley first. You can decide whether to enter based on the condition of the jade pendant."
The monks naturally expressed their gratitude.
He flew into the Lianxin Valley on his sword. Tao Zi looked at the jade pendant, which was always emitting a faint white light.
A quarter of an hour later, she looked at Monk Hu and said, "Fellow Daoist, I'm going into the valley."
He smiled and said, "Together."
The two of them entered the valley on spiritual weapons.
Immediately afterwards, many monks no longer waited and entered the valley.
When most people had gone in, the junior brother from the Tiandao Sect said to the remaining cultivators, "My fellow Daoists, I am about to enter the valley as well. The Lianxin Jade cannot be handed over to outsiders."
There was not much connection between the context of this sentence, but the rest of the people understood the meaning and bowed in agreement.
There is a reason why the Tiandao Sect has become the leader of the three sects and has stood on the Xuanyue Continent for thousands of years.
In the illusion, Tao Zi was lying on a recliner, basking in the sun with her eyes closed, while a maid was fanning her beside her.
After a while, a maid in yellow clothes came hurriedly and said, "Madam, something bad has happened!"
Tao Zi frowned, and the maid beside her scolded her, "Keep your voice down! Don't let the people over there laugh at you for being so flustered."
The maidservant in yellow didn't care about anything else. She bowed to her mistress and said, "Madam, Concubine Xu has had a miscarriage."
She raised her eyes and said lazily, "What does it have to do with me? I have no right to interfere in her affairs."
Her surname is Tao, her given name is Zi, and her nickname is Wuyou. She is the eldest daughter of the general's mansion and is loved by her family.
This life should have been carefree, but she was blind and fell in love with a poor scholar who had lost his conscience. She knelt in front of his study for three days and three nights and insisted on marrying him.
It would have been fine if she had just married him, but she even used the sweet talk of the poor scholar and used her family connections to help him get a job in the government.
With this prosperity, concubines came to the mansion like flowing water.
It was normal for a wealthy family to have three wives and four concubines, and she accepted it well. However, her relationship with the poor scholar went from affection to mutual respect.
But later, the poor scholar didn't even care about his wife's face, and took a prostitute from a brothel as a concubine. He asked the prostitute to call her sister and serve the same husband. This was throwing her and the general's mansion's face to the ground!
In a rage, she took action to deal with the concubine. Because of this matter, the man was angry with her for a long time and even welcomed a concubine named Xu who looked exactly like the concubine.
Aunt Xu is not an easy person to get along with. She pretends to be weak and pitiful and stirs up trouble everywhere.
She grew up with her father in the border area and had never seen such tactics before. The originally respectful relationship between them turned into cold treatment.
After repeated instigation, the poor scholar forbade her to interfere in the affairs of Concubine Xu's courtyard, and even secretly helped Concubine Xu seize power.
She has no feelings and no power, so why should she continue to stay in this backyard?
Thinking of this, Tao Zi slowly sat up and said, "A Yuan, go and ask if there is any news about the letter sent to the capital."
As early as the day she discovered that the poor scholar was helping Aunt Xu seize power, she wrote a letter to the capital, stating that she wanted to divorce him and hoped that her family could send someone to help.
She sighed secretly. If she had known this would happen, she should not have been sent out with him.
A Yuan handed the fan in her hand to another maid beside her, bowed in response, and left in a hurry.
The maid in yellow still looked anxious. Tao Zi looked over and asked, "Is there something else going on?"
"Mrs. Xu said, she said, that the miscarriage was caused by eating the snacks sent by the Madam."
"Nonsense! I never sent any snacks."
Her face darkened. She didn't want fame, but the General's Mansion did. She had already damaged her sisters' reputations by marrying this man. She had already let them down. If she were to do something that harmed her husband's family's offspring, wouldn't that harm her unmarried sisters?
"Ah Fang, come with me. I want to see what that person is up to."
A group of people walked over.
As soon as he arrived at Aunt Xu's yard, he saw the poor scholar. He always maintained a gentle and polite appearance, but at this moment, he kicked him directly with a cold face.
Ah Fang blocked the kick for her, but Tao Zi flew into a rage: "Zhou Qifang, do you still have me, your legal wife, in your eyes?!"
"You killed the baby in Jiao'er's belly, and you still have the nerve to come here?"
She sneered a few times and said sarcastically, "If I wanted to harm her, why would I wait until now, and why would I resort to such despicable means? Putting aside other things, even when I attacked that person back then, wasn't I acting in an upright manner?"
Zhou Qifang clenched his fists, completely enraged by these words, and said, "It's normal for your temperament to change because you can't have children."
Tao Zi's face turned cold and she turned and left.
Back then, someone tried to assassinate Zhou Qifang, and she blocked the sword. It was that sword that made her lose her qualification to be a mother.
