Jiang Zhuojun and his group of five did not return to the cave until almost noon the next day. All five of them were covered in snow and looked severely frozen. ..
The boss and his men were busy pulling the five people over to the fire to warm themselves up.
Yu Xiaoxiao stopped the people and said to the boss: "Take your people to rub their hands and feet to warm them up. If they are directly roasted by fire, their hands and feet will be damaged."
The boss responded to Yu Xiaoxiao and got busy with his brothers.
After Jiang Zhuojun recovered his breath, he looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang who walked in front of him and shook his head.
Yu Xiaoxiao said to Tianxing: "Look, the people in Bodhi Temple are unwilling to save people."
Jiang Zhuojun said: "It seems that there is no need for us to stay here for long."
Tianxing squatted next to Jiang Zhuojun and asked, "What did Jingshi tell you?"
Jiang Zhuojun's hands were shaking as he held the hot water.
A member of the Jiang clan said, "That monk asked us for the Red Jade Phoenix!"
"Stop talking," Jiang Zhuojun said to the tribesmen.
Uncle asked, "What is the Ruby Phoenix?"
The tribesman said, "Jingshi said that there is a flying dragon carved from a whole piece of red jade hidden in their temple. If we can offer a red jade phoenix carved from a whole piece of red jade, he will save Master Ze and the others."
It is reasonable to pay for medical expenses to save someone, but Abbot Jingshi's request is obviously to make things difficult for Jiang Zhuojun. The Jiang family has reached this point and does not even have money to buy food to make a living. Where can they get a red jade phoenix?
Several women covered their faces and cried.
The looks that Yu Xiaoxiao and her group gave each other were complicated, oh, Red Jade Phoenix.
Yu Xiaoxiao whispered to Gu Xinglang, "Didn't you tell me that the Vermilion Bird we brought with us looks a lot like a phoenix?"
Gu Xinglang said: "Yes, it is carved from a whole piece of red jade."
"Do you think Jingshi can tell the difference between the Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Gu Xinglang shook his head and said, "I don't know. Xiao Wei and I can't tell the difference."
Yu Xiaoxiao held her chin with her hand and thought for a while, then said to Gu Xinglang: "You and Xiao Wei, who are so smart, can't tell the difference, so how can a monk from the Eternal Life Temple tell the difference?"
Gu Xinglang looked at his wife and said, "What do you mean? Do you want to use the Vermilion Bird as a substitute for the Phoenix?"
Yu Xiao: "Do you think it's okay?"
Now it's not a question of whether it works or not. They took the Red Jade Vermilion Bird to the Bodhi Temple. What about Li Xiaoyuan? They couldn't tell the king of the Vermilion Bird that they met robbers on the way and the Red Jade Vermilion Bird was stolen, right? Are there robbers who only rob and ignore other treasures?
"Is it okay?" Yu Xiaoxiao pulled Gu Xinglang's sleeve.
Gu Xinglang said: "Then there won't be one less birthday gift?"
"We didn't tell them," Yu Xiaoxiao whispered, "Who knew there was a red jade bird in the birthday gift?"
Gu Xinglang's mouth twitched, and he said, "Xiaoxiao, the gift list was sent to Chiyang City first. We can't hide this."
Yu Xiaoxiao was stunned and asked, "Who made this broken rule?"
Gu Xinglang... He didn't know who made this rule, but it had been there since he was born. If the gift list was not delivered in advance, what if the gift giver changed the gift list halfway through and stole the property?
"Then should we just pretend that nothing happened?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked again.
Gu Xinglang turned his head to look at the four children held in the women's arms. On the battlefield, Gu Xinglang could kill countless people, but he couldn't bear to watch these four little boys die of poison. "How long can they hold on?" Gu Xinglang asked Tianxing.
The old Taoist said: "If the poison enters the heart, even gods cannot save them. They can probably live another day."
Before the Taoist priest finished his words, cries of grief were heard in the cave.
They can still live for another day, so they still have time to save people. Thinking of this, Gu Xinglang said to Jiang Zhuojun: "We do have a Red Jade Phoenix here."
The bowl of water in Jiang Zhuojun's hand fell to the ground.
"Phoenix?" Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang: "Xiao Gu, ours is obviously Zhu..."
Gu Xinglang covered Yu Xiaoxiao's mouth, looked at Jiang Zhuojun and said, "You can give it to Jingshi."
No one in the group led by the boss said anything. They all knew that what was loaded on their car was a red jade red bird, but the prince consort must have his reasons for saying so.
Jiang Zhuojun suspected that he had heard it wrongly, and asked Gu Xinglang, "Red Jade Phoenix?"
"Yes," Gu Xinglang said, "We want to give it to Concubine Yu."
Several women rushed to Gu Xinglang, knelt down and kowtowed to him.
Gu Xinglang hurriedly stood aside, avoiding the ladies' gifts, and said to Jiang Zhuojun, "But what if Jingshi gets the Red Jade Phoenix and then finds an excuse not to save people?"
"Master Jingshi is a monk," a woman cried to Gu Xinglang without waiting for Jiang Zhuojun to speak, "Master will not lie to us."
Can the people in the Eternal Life Temple be trusted? Yu Xiaoxiao didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart.
"His uncle, you have to save them!"
"Hai is your second brother's only bloodline!"
…
The women then cried out to Jiang Zhuojun together.
Yu Xiaoxiao now understood why the old Taoist said that Jiang Zhuojun had to save these four children. It turned out that in the eyes of the Jiang family, if Jiang Zhuojun did not save these four children, he would be guilty of a capital crime.
Tian Xing stood up and said to Jiang Zhuojun, "I will go with you this time."
Jiang Zhuojun was speechless as he looked at Gu Xinglang. The favor he owed him was getting bigger and bigger. How could he repay it?
"Go and bring in the ruby phoenix statue and its box," Gu Xinglang said to the boss.
The boss carried a few brothers out, and soon they came back carrying a mahogany box.
Gu Xinglang walked forward and reached out to tear the seal on the box.
"Wait a minute," Jiang Zhuojun shouted as soon as he saw the seal on the seal.
Gu Xinglang looked back at Jiang Zhuojun and said, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Zhuojun shook his head and said, "The seal on it is the seal of the Fengtian royal family. This is the birthday gift you are going to send to Chiyang City. How can you take it out and give it to Jingshi?"
Upon hearing what Jiang Zhuojun said, several women started crying again.
"How can you be worthy of your second brother?" a woman asked Jiang Zhuojun crying.
"Second sister-in-law," Jiang Zhuojun looked at the woman and said, "One should be content. If the birthday gift is used, the princess and her husband will be in big trouble. If His Majesty gets angry, their lives will be in danger."
Jiang Zhuojun's second sister-in-law looked at Jiang Zhuojun with increasing anger. Her husband and two sons were dead, and Jiang Hai was her only hope. What did her uncle-in-law say now? He said he couldn't bring trouble to Princess Linglong and her husband? Did her son deserve to die? "He's not your son after all," Madam Liu said coldly to Jiang Zhuojun, "Are you going to use Hai's life to fulfill your righteousness?"
"Liu!" Jiang Yue Niang was not happy. How much suffering had her brother endured for the sake of this clan? How could this woman still say such a thing?
