Chapter 125 I would like you to accept me as your disciple
Saint Chen Ying, a very ancient name.
Back then, Ye Wang, with the "help" of a Nanyang temple priest, had accidentally killed the son of a butcher. The butchers were powerful and influential, a formidable force in their area. Knowing that their son frequently visited a prostitute at the end of the village, Ye Wang and Qin were quickly targeted by the butchers.
Ye Wang tried to escape with his mother, but was stopped by the old temple keeper. He half-hid his face, and his exposed skin was not good-looking, with pits and bumps on it, like scars from countless insect bites.
His voice was hoarse as he said, "Running away is useless. Those who hold a grudge against you will always find you!"
Then, the old temple priest told her about how the Saint Maiden of the Moon Worship Sect in Southern Xinjiang escaped and was killed in the palace. It was almost exactly the same as what Xie Chengyan said, which brought back her memories.
After the old temple keeper said that, Ye Wang was still frightened and asked the old temple keeper with a sad face what to do.
It was at that time that the old temple priest taught her her first move.
The old temple keeper first handed a centipede restaurant to Ye Wang and asked her to feed the centipedes with glutinous rice soaked in the butcher's sweat. Ye Wang didn't understand why, but seeing that the old temple keeper said it sincerely, she did as she was told obediently.
When the moonlight engulfed the butcher's house, thousands of centipedes from under a banyan tree at the door crawled towards the butcher's house. At that time, Ye Wang and the old temple keeper were squatting nearby. She still can't forget the scene of that night when dense swarms of centipedes rushed towards the butcher's house.
The centipedes were incredibly large, their feet golden, and they twisted their bodies to make their way into the butcher's house, sending shivers down Ye Wang's spine. She suddenly turned to look at the old temple keeper, only to see a sinister smile on his terrifying face, a truly bizarre sight.
News of the butcher's family's tragic deaths quickly spread throughout the village. Many people harbored resentment against the butcher's family, and the authorities, overwhelmed by the sheer number of people they investigated, could not get any information from them. The coroner on the scene was horrified and vomited. The local coroner, a relatively incompetent officer, could not find anything after the autopsy, and the case was hastily closed.
After Ye Wang heard the news, he immediately kowtowed three times to the old temple priest and said, "Sir, please accept me as your disciple. I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"
The two were in silence when there was a knock on the door. It was Jian Xing, and Xie Chengyan asked him to come in.
Jian Xing saw Ye Lanzhou in the room at first sight. He paused and the words he wanted to report were stuck in his mouth, not knowing whether he should say it or not.
Ye Lanzhou knew that Jian Xing had something important to say and it would probably be inconvenient for her to be here. When she met Jian Xing's eyes, Ye Lanzhou smiled awkwardly and turned to look at Xie Chengyan.
But he didn't look up, so Ye Lanzhou thought about going out first.
At this moment, Xie Chengyan put down his pen and ink, waved his hand, and signaled Jian Xing to speak directly.
Jian Xing looked at Ye Lanzhou again, and finally agreed with Xie Chengyan, saying, "He Zongguan said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has chosen a wife for His Majesty, the granddaughter of the Wei Chi family, and has also chosen a princess for you, the third daughter of the Pei family. They are now asking if you are willing."
Jian Xing paused, then continued, "This matter was originally submitted to the Grand Empress Dowager, but Princess Yuan'an withheld it, saying that it depends on your opinion."
Xie Chengyan actually breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Fortunately, she had talked about this with Xie Zhaohe at that time, and she promised to let him make his own decision. Otherwise, once Xie Zhaohe stamped the document, the people below would take the document to do the work. How could he have a say then?
