Chapter 752: Joint Burial



Gu Guangming was stunned by his question. Regardless of whether time travel really existed, even if it did exist, how could people in this time and space interfere with people in another time and space?

It's out of reach.

"I'll go to the forum and ask someone later." Gu Guangming came out of the police station and called Wu Shuangshuang to explain the matter to her.

Wu Shuangshuang is currently studying at the Armed Police University and is Jian Ning's junior. She and her classmates had just come out of the cafeteria after breakfast. After gesturing for a few classmates to leave first, she walked over and said with a smile, "Hey, my old man really thinks he's the male lead in a time-travel drama. The last time I went back, I saw him and my mom watching a time-travel drama. They were both very interested. Only my mom believed that he really traveled through time in those years."

"I asked your father several times back then, but he always glossed over the issue. He never directly admitted that he had traveled through time, only saying it was a dream. He still says that now. So, did he tell your mother that he really traveled through time?"

"Isn't he just trying to make my mom happy? You're amazing! You actually agreed to help him find a solution to such an outrageous situation. I've never seen anyone take dreams too seriously! How about this, since you agreed, tell him that we asked your metaphysical experts to sort things out and performed a ritual for your great-grandmother. Everything is resolved. That's all."

Gu Guangming thought, is this a deception? If Wu Ju wants to dream again, he will know that the problem has not been solved at all. If he wants to marry Wu Shuangshuang in the future, it will be impossible.

After all, he still believes in metaphysics to some extent.

Gu Guangming went home and checked out the metaphysics forum he often visited. He posted another thread asking for help, titled "When will the endless time travel of the famous Republican daughter end?" This was his first post on the forum, using his pen name Wu Zhuoyi (all the people in the thread used pseudonyms). He briefly recounted Wu Yanxu's dream, focusing on his great-grandmother, Wu Yunzhu.

Aside from the names, his great-grandmother's family background was entirely real. The Wu family had been practicing medicine for generations, and Wu Yunzhu's grandfather had been an imperial physician in the Qing Dynasty, later becoming extremely famous during the Republic of China. He asked for help at the end of the post, hoping someone could help halt his great-grandmother's time-travel journey so she could rest in peace.

When Gu Guangming posted the post, he had no idea that it would become so popular on the metaphysics website. In just two days, there were tens of thousands of comments, but most of them were just spectators. Some even cursed and accused people of being shrewd. He used the pen name Wu Zhuoyi to post the post, and people could find his novels by searching for them. They accused him of relying on sensationalism to gain popularity for his novels because his books were not very popular.

The main reason was that he mentioned in the post that his great-grandfather was a member of the Flying Tigers. Netizens criticized him for using the Flying Tigers who had sacrificed their lives for the country as a gimmick. Gu Guangming was so angry that he stopped logging into the forum to read posts for two or three days.

On this day, someone named Gu Lingmo applied to join his book club. His IP address showed he was from abroad, and the application included the name of the post he had posted.

After Gu Guangming accepted, he joined the group and said that he had found the book by searching under his pen name after reading his post. Gu Guangming directly added him on WeChat.

Gu Lingmo is the great-grandson of Gu Shuyu's eldest brother, the CEO of Gu's overseas business, and a cousin of Gu Guangming. Because Wu Yunzhu and Gu Shuyu never married, Gu Shuyu's remains were taken overseas by Old Man Gu for burial, not in the Gu family's ancestral tomb. Furthermore, the Gu family was unaware of Wu Yunzhu's pregnancy.

Now, Gu Lingmo's grandfather wants to send the remains of his grandfather, father and uncle back to China for burial. He himself also wants to return to his roots and plans to establish a branch of Gu's Enterprises in China.

After Gu Lingmo discussed with his grandfather, they set a date to return home, planned to rebuild the ancestral tomb and decided to move Wu Yunzhu's remains into the Gu family ancestral tomb and bury her with Gu Shuyu.

Gu Guangming immediately informed Wu Yanxu of this matter. He said, "Director Wu, my cousin said he consulted a high monk overseas and found that if my great-grandmother and my great-grandfather were buried together, her wish would be fulfilled and her journey through time would end."

"Is this reliable?" Wu Yanxu was not asking about the joint burial, but whether the joint burial could stop the infinite travel of the Black Cloud Pearl.

"How would we know if it's reliable? But our country has had the custom of burying couples together for thousands of years. Let's do it this way for now. Maybe it will work."

Gu Guangming then returned to Jinping Town, where the Gu family's ancestral tomb is located, on the same hill where Wu Yunzhu was buried. When Wu Yunzhu and his son returned to the Gu family's original home, the ancestral house was still there, but with multiple families living there. The ancestral tomb had been dug up during the war, and after the Gu family's tea plantation became a graveyard, the local government relocated the tomb to the tea plantation.

Gu Guangming's grandfather had no idea who was who in the Gu family's ancestral tomb, and he didn't even know their relationship with himself. Wu Yunzhu knew it back then, but she didn't dare tell her son. She only burned paper money secretly. After she traveled through time and became Qiao Yujiao, the Gu family's ancestral tomb had been moved to the tea mountain. The tombstone of her mother-in-law, Gu Long, was still there. When she was Grandma Wu, she would come to worship every Qingming Festival.

Wu Yunzhu also built a new tombstone for her mother-in-law and added her own name on it. When Gu Guangming and his father came to the grave and saw Wu Yunzhu's name on the tombstone, he was secretly surprised. His father didn't think much of it, because the time on it was still copied from the old tombstone. Gu Guangming talked with Gu Lingmo and knew that his great-grandmother's name would never appear on it. He began to believe that Wu Yanxu's dream was real and that his great-grandmother had really traveled back in time.

Gu Lingmo's grandfather was very happy to know that his ancestral tomb was still there. They set off for home with great fanfare, and many people accompanied them. Wu Yanxu and Wu Juan also came. The town leaders also actively helped to find the gravekeeper of the Gu family at that time in order to learn more about the specific situation at that time.

But after so many years, no one knew whether the gravekeeper was dead or alive, and in the end the matter was left unresolved.

After Wu Yunzhu's remains were dug out and buried together with Gu Shuyu, Wu Yunzhu, who was fighting with Liu Xiazi above the battlefield, suddenly covered his chest and groaned, and his body fell obliquely like a kite with a broken string. Liu Xiazi didn't have time to think about it, and he and Jian Ning rushed towards Wu Yunzhu almost at the same time.

Pei Xiyuan waved his hand and ordered people to snatch it, but they were intercepted by Su Muyun and the General of Cavalry.

Wu Yunzhu was caught by both Blind Liu and Jian Ning. She was barely breathing, but a kind smile that Jian Ning was familiar with appeared on her face.

"Grandma!" Jane Ning knelt down on her knees without being able to explain why. "Don't die, Grandma. If you stop aiding and abetting evil and stop killing people, I won't hate you anymore. You will still be my good grandma, my most beloved master!"

Wu Yunzhu was speechless. She kept looking up, her face full of joy.

"Master! I am an unfilial disciple!" Blind Liu also knelt on his knees.

Wu Yunzhu's soul has dissipated, she is gone just like that, no one knows whether she will continue her journey of time travel, but the war will continue and will not end with her departure.
