Zhou Feihua chuckled and pinched Ran Ran's tender face and said, "If you were a man, your sweet mouth would probably trick many girls into falling in love with you!"

When she spoke about the Soviet Union, her tone was also very relaxed.

Concubine Jing has obviously gotten over the bitterness she felt in the palace. When people stay in the open world for a long time, their hearts become wild. How can they be willing to be a bird in a cage?

Even though Zhou Feihua still had feelings for Su Yu, she was unwilling to go back. Moreover, her father had already insisted in front of the commander that she was dead, so she would not go back and make her father worry about her again.

After talking about her own troubles, Zhou Feihua actually wanted to know more about Ranran's recent situation.

When she left, Su Yishui used his own body to seal the spiritual spring, so his temper was abnormally violent.

Now Ran Ran said that they had sent the spiritual spring back, so Su Yishui should have recovered. But when he saw her just now, he looked indifferent, and finally frowned and said, "Do I know you?"

Zhou Feihua was a little stunned and felt that Su Yishui's brain didn't seem to be very smart.

If I were to explain this, it would be a long story. Ran Ran first asked Concubine Jing if she was sleepy, and then started from when they came out of the underworld and Su Yishui was given a soul-cleansing talisman.

Zhou Feihua first lay down and listened, then sat up straight. When she heard that Su Yishui had completely forgotten that he had ever liked Mu Qingge, she couldn't help but sneer, "When Qingge and I first met, he did get angry with Mu Qingge because of Su Yu. It turns out that he had evil intentions towards his master at that time. In the end, if he couldn't get her, he would destroy her, right? So he harmed Mu Qingge?"

Ran Ran felt that she needed to clear Su Yishui's name, and added: "It's not like that. It was Mu Qingge who originally wanted to change Su Yishui's fate and didn't want him to become a demon child, so the misunderstanding occurred."

Zhou Feihua didn't believe it and snorted, "Why are you like Mu Qingge, always speaking well of him?"

Well... this, Xue Ranran thought that if she admitted now that she was Mu Qingge, based on Zhou Feihua's temper, she would probably put a sword to her neck and ask her what conspiracy she had with Su Yishui, right?

So Ranran decided to wait until the right opportunity to tell such explosive news.

But she was very curious about how she and Zhou Feihua met in her previous life. When she talked about the past, Zhou Feihua was also sad for a while.

"When the rebel king was in chaos, Su Yu was still young and could not stand alone in the court. My father was neutral at the time and did not want to get involved in the royal civil war. One time, Su Yu accidentally revealed his whereabouts and was assassinated. I happened to be in the group. At that time, a woman in red fell from the sky and saved Su Yu. That's how we got to know each other. After that, Mu Qingge persuaded my father to support Su Yu, and I became the bodyguard of Empress Zhan in the army."

After hearing this, Ran Ran muttered to herself, "I have never been able to figure out what kind of destiny it is that allows me... allows her to dare to change completely even if it means risking the world's disapproval?

Zhou Feihua also sighed. Mu Qingge not only changed Su Yishui's fate as an emperor, but also changed her and Su Yu's fate.

She said softly, "Mu Qingge seemed to have glimpsed the secrets of heaven that should not be shown to the world. Su Yishui has a similar ferocious appearance to King Zhou. Such a fate can certainly make her the ruler of the world. But the final outcome will be a lonely and miserable life. She once said that the world thought she wanted to save the world for fame, but she knew that she only wanted to save one person..."

Ranran listened silently. She couldn't understand her feelings in her previous life before, but now she understood a little.

Su Yishui, who has lost part of his memory, is so aloof and arrogant. So it is conceivable how extreme Su Yishui must have been when he was caught in a vortex of power struggle in his previous life.

Back then, he was willing to let the spiritual spring possess his body. He wanted to rely on the power of the spiritual spring, but he didn't want to be completely controlled by it. He endured the pain of his soul being torn apart all the time. If no one saved him, wouldn't he be floating in the endless sea of ​​suffering?

Thinking of the shocking scratches on the wall of Su Yishui's secret room in the capital's mansion, I can imagine the pain he endured at that time.

Although Su Yishui now hates Mu Qingge for changing his destiny, if Ran Ran were faced with such a choice, she would probably do the same without hesitation...

When talking about the past, Zhou Feihua suddenly thought of what Mu Qingge had said to her: "But she once said something to me without any reason. She said that the key to the underworld suddenly fell into her and Su Yishui's hands. It was a bit strange... someone, like her, had seen destiny..."

Ran Ran also sat up at once. He asked in a low voice: "Who is this person, and where did he see the destiny?"

Zhou Feihua shook her head: "Qingge didn't want to say more at the time, she just said that if I knew too much, I would get into trouble..."

At this point, Zhou Feihua sighed: "I once asked Mu Qingge, but she said she didn't remember."

Ran Ran frowned and asked, "Mu Qingge? When did you see her?"

Zhou Feihua said, "Just yesterday, when I was leading people to transport lime outside a nearby town, I ran into her outside Huxi Town. She was taking a few disciples to the town to capture a traitor. It is said that her disciple Wang Suizhi was bewitched by the Demon Cult and secretly took away a few of her new disciples, so she followed him all the way here to punish the traitor."

Ran Ran's eyes widened: "Did she...find it?"

Zhou Feihua said: "She should be about to find me. When she said goodbye to me in a hurry, a servant reported that she seemed to have got some clues. But I told her that I was in Qiongqi Village. If she has time, she should come to look for me..."

Ran Ran knew that she couldn't sleep tonight. Time was running out. If she didn't save her God of Wealth disciple Wang Suizhi, she was afraid that this good disciple would be persecuted by the fake Mu Ranwu.

So she jumped up and hurried to knock on the window of Su Yishui's house next door.

Zhou Feihua followed him out and asked doubtfully, "What are you going to do? Are you taking Su Yishui to find Mu Qingge's trouble?"

Ran Ran couldn't hide it anymore, and regardless of whether Zhou Feihua could digest it or not, she could only honestly ask, "Have you never thought about whether the current Mu Qingge is still Mu Qingge? There were two fruits on the reincarnation tree..."

After she finished speaking, she tugged at the corner of her master's clothes and said, "Your senior brother is in trouble, do you want to go with me?"

Su Yishui didn't have much friendship with his fellow apprentices. Now, seeing Xue Ranran protecting those idiots like an old hen, he actually felt a little dissatisfied.

But he didn't say anything. After all, they came here to track down Mu Ranwu's whereabouts. Now that they got the clue, they naturally had to find out what was going on.

However, when leaving the village, Su Yishui stretched out his arms, flew around outside the village, and said to Zhou Feihua: "I have set up a spiritual shield here. You can enter the village normally from the main gate. If someone of unknown identity is allowed to enter, he must not be allowed in, otherwise the spiritual shield will not work."

After saying this, the two of them disappeared into the night, one in front and one behind.

Zhou Feihua was left alone in the night wind, wondering what Ran Ran meant by that...

According to Zhou Feihua, she met Mu Ranwu when she was leading the villagers to buy white lime, so Mu Ranwu should be in Huxi Town at this time.

When we arrived at Huxi Town near Qiongqi Village, it was already dark and there was not even a night watchman in the town.

The two used the Light Body Technique to cross the city wall. Ran Ran closed his eyes and listened quietly. Apart from the snoring of people in the surrounding houses and the crying of children at night, he could not hear any other suspicious sounds.

How to find this?

Su Yishui said, "You and she are both fruits of the reincarnation tree, but she doesn't carry too much of my Jindan aura, so I can't find her. It all depends on whether you can find a way to sense her presence at a closer distance."

Ran Ran understood what Su Yishui meant. But for her to sense Mu Ranwu now was like communicating with a long-lost sister.

But if she couldn't go through metaphysics, she had other options. She could guess why Wang Suizhi came here.

His business was all over the country, but the most remote one was the one in Nanjiang. When he left with the children in a hurry, he must have thought about the placement of these children.

They were still young and could hardly protect themselves. Even if he gave them money, it would be difficult for them to survive. So he probably wanted to send these children to the shop as apprentices so that they could learn some skills and support themselves in the future.

Thinking this way, I had a direction. I just needed to look at the plaques of the shops and knock on the door of the shop with the name "Shanxi Wang" on it to ask. Wang Suizhi's biggest business here was the family rice shop.

When they landed from the eaves and came to the shop with the sign "Shanxi Wang Rice Shop" hanging on it, and stood in front of the closed door, they felt that the atmosphere was not right.

There was a sign on the door saying it was closed for five days. It was originally a rice shop, but now you could smell the foul smell of fish and water was constantly leaking out from the cracks in the door.

After Su Yishui and Ranran looked at each other, they climbed onto the roof together, lifted the tiles and looked down.

With the moonlight pouring down from overhead, they could see that there seemed to be people tied to several pillars in the shop. When they looked closely, it seemed that some of them were children.

Su Yishui jumped down first, followed closely by Ranran. After they jumped down, the store was still silent. Those people hung their heads motionlessly, looking weird.

When Su Yishui raised his palm to light the spiritual fire, Ran Ran could see the faces of those bound people clearly. When he saw this, he couldn't help but gasp.

It turned out that the people dressed as shop assistants had dark blue scales growing all over their closed faces. Ranran also recognized that those children were the ones who escaped from Mu Ranwu, and the bearded man who also had scales growing on his body was none other than Wang Suizhi.

These people were covered in thick white foam and smelled like fish. Water was flowing from their feet and had spread to the entire floor of the shop.

It was obvious that they had been bewitched and were undergoing changes.

Ran Ran quickly took out the Qingxin Pill that she had made herself, stuffed it into Wang Suizhi's mouth, and used her palm to circulate energy through the air to catalyze the pill.

Wang Suizhi gasped and half-closed his eyes. When he saw Xue Ranran clearly, he shouted briefly, "Miss Xue, get out of here quickly!"

Ran Ran comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

After hearing this, Wang Suizhi's eyes were already filled with tears: "My master...she is crazy! She actually colluded with an unknown evil cult. After they broke into the rice shop, they cursed us and tied us up. Master...Master said that those who betrayed her would suffer a fate worse than death. It won't be long before we transform into water demons and become weapons of murder...It's a pity that my ability can see the life and death of others, but I didn't know that this town is where I will be buried...My body has begun to change, and maybe soon I will lose my mind...I don't want to hurt anyone, so please, Miss Xue, be kind and give me a quick death. But those children were killed by me, and I can only repay their lives in my next life!"

Ran Ran took out the Qing Xin Pills and shared them with the guys and children. Then he said, "Why say such sad words before the last moment? These seven evil transformation spells are based on human greed. You are a good person. You must believe that you can control the spread of these evil spells. You have to hold on until we can come up with a solution!"

While they were talking, Su Yishui had already quickly checked the entire shop. The back of the shop led directly to the moat, which was convenient for ships to transport grain on weekdays. At this time, the back door was already half open.

The reason why there is no one guarding here is because they have hung a sign on the door of the rice shop saying that it is closed. When the people in the shop are completely transformed, they will be driven by evil talismans and jump into the river to be used by others.

When the remaining people woke up, they were all scared by their current appearance and screamed.

Wang Suizhi was smart, and fearing that the neighbors would be attracted, he told them to keep quiet and stop shouting. Su Yishui had already used his power to draw water from the river to wash away the sticky white foam covering their bodies. After putting them down, he saw strange runes on their backs that had been pierced with cinnabar and sharp needles.

It seems that these are the reasons for their alienation.

However, deciphering the talisman is not something that Ranran and Su Yishui are good at. It seems that they have to ask Jiu Laoxian for help.

After everyone was rescued, Ranran planned to place them in a cave outside Qiongqi Village first.

The villagers had been frightened by the water monsters these days. If they were to encounter these monsters again, they would probably rush over and beat them to death with sticks.

I don't know if Mu Ranwu hated Wang Suizhi so much for his betrayal that she didn't kill him immediately, but instead used this insidious method to torture him.

Ran Ran thought of the people who were accompanying Mu Ranwu now. They looked like people from the Brahma Cult. Maybe they were in a hurry to create a large number of water monsters to expand their own strength, so they didn't let go of anyone who could be used.

Thinking about the water monsters I encountered on the river, they were just some missing fishermen, and their number was obviously not enough. Even if you include the few people in this rice shop, their number is not too many.

If this is the case, would Mu Ran Dance Party not continue to create closed places like the Rice Shop to curse more people?

Ranran wondered where else she would harm people if she were Mu Ranwu.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder. She thought of the people in the poor village,

The village is remote and there is no other place near it. If it were sealed off and something unusual happened to everyone in the village, I'm afraid no one would notice it for a while.

Su Yishui also thought of this, pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "I shouldn't have left the door to the village. I wonder if your old friend listened to you?"

If she believed Mu Ranwu's sweet words and opened the village gate to her, I'm afraid the whole village would be in trouble.

In fact, not long after Su Yishui and Xue Ranran left the village, Mu Ranwu had already led his men to Qiongqi Village overnight.

The whole village had people on duty at night to guard against water monsters. However, the guard had transported lime with Zhou Feihua before and recognized Mu Ranwu.

When he heard that she was coming to visit, he had no doubt and immediately opened the village gate and put up wooden boards to let her in.

Mu Ranwu stood leisurely at the entrance of the village, looked at the lime-paved ditch with a little disdain, and looked at the surrounding terrain calmly.

Just as Xue Ranran expected, she was also satisfied with the remoteness of the place. Even if something unusual happened to the people in the village, they would not be able to contact the outside world for the time being.

Given Mu Qingge's friendship with Zhou Feihua, it would be easy for her to gain Zhou Feihua's trust.

Although she could also break into the village directly, wouldn't it be easier if she couldn't subdue these fishermen without any effort?

Thinking of this, Mu Ranwu smiled and prepared to step into the village.

But unexpectedly, the gate was only opened a crack, and was immediately closed by a hand. It turned out that Zhou Feihua had arrived at the village entrance at some point, but she stopped the villagers on duty from opening the door. She just looked up and down at the woman outside the door through the fence, without any sense of joy of reunion after a long separation.

Mu Ranwu felt that Zhou Feihua was hiding in this remote and poor place, and she should not hear the news that her true identity was exposed on the Red Flame Mountain, so she smiled and said with relief: "When I saw you outside the town, I didn't have time to talk to you. Now that I have time, I came to this poor village to find you. What? Don't you want me to come into the village and sit down?"

Zhou Feihua then spoke up, "I heard you asking me if I had seen Wang Suizhi's whereabouts, and you also said that he had betrayed his master and done something extremely treasonous. He... can you find him now?"

Mu Ranwu's eyes flashed with impatience, and then she smiled again and said, "Of course I found it. If this kind of traitor who betrayed the master is not punished, wouldn't it be a bad example for other disciples?"

Zhou Feihua said: "Wang Suizhi is a man of power and greedy for money. Before the Battle of Fan Yao, he embezzled military funds, which shows his character. You will not let such a traitor go easily, right?"

Mu Ranwu knew that Wang Suizhi had embezzled military funds and had a feud with Zhou Feihu's father, so she followed Zhou Feihua's words and sighed, "I know he is useless, and now he is responsible for his own misfortunes. I have my own way to deal with him... Feihua, how long are you going to talk to me across the ditch? Can you move the gate to let me in?"

Zhou Feihua had a dark expression on his face, and finally he clasped his fists and said coldly: "It's getting late, and the village has set a rule that the village gates are not opened at night. I am a foreign guest and it is difficult to make an exception. Please go back first, and I will go to the town to visit you in person tomorrow."

Mu Ranwu did not come here to meet guests or friends. The employees in the rice shop in the town, including Wang Suizhi and others, were afraid that the transformation would be successful by noon the day after tomorrow.

If more than a dozen water monsters broke through the rice shop and jumped into the water, the whole town would be in a panic. She would certainly not return to the town.

It was getting dark, and it would be midnight soon, the best time to cast the spell. So she didn't want to waste any more time talking to Zhou Feihua, and suddenly jumped up, intending to rush over the ditch fence and into the village.

However, she didn't expect that when she flew up, she would hit an invisible spiritual shield, which bounced her back.

After Mu Ranwu landed, the reincarnation tree on the peak withered and died. Without the nourishment of the reincarnation tree, she is now less powerful than before.

After being bounced back by this domineering spiritual shield, he actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

She was shocked: Who set up such a powerful spiritual shield here? Could it be... did they know she was coming?

Actually, Su Yishui set up this spiritual shield before leaving in order to prevent the water demons on the riverside from counterattacking. However, he left a gap in the spiritual shield at the entrance of the village for the villagers to enter and exit on a daily basis. After all, the people in the village still have to go out to make a living during the day, so it is easier to guard with only this gap.

Mu Ranwu had no choice but to jump over the fence, and naturally she was seriously injured by the recoil.

She knew she couldn't force her way in, so tears welled up in her eyes and she said softly, "Feihua, what's wrong with you? Are you so scared by those water monsters that you don't even recognize me as your old friend?"

Zhou Feihua stared at her face and said word by word: "The details of Wang Suizhi's embezzlement of military pay were probably only known to Mu Qingge and me. Although he likes money, he is not a greedy person. He embezzled the military pay in order to stop Mu Qingge from joining the war. He has extraordinary abilities. He can see fortune and a person's life and death. So he saw that the Fan Yao area was Mu Qingge's death, so he resorted to this desperate measure, willing to bear the guilt of greed, but also to stop Mu Qingge from going to Fan Yao... He was right. Mu Qingge was indeed killed in Jueshan, not far from Fan Yao. At that time, he blamed himself for not having enough magic power to see a more specific location, otherwise he would definitely be able to save his master..."

At this point, Zhou Feihua breathed a sigh of relief and said with a bitter smile: "It's a pity that he doesn't know that it's not that his master Mu Qingge doesn't believe him, but that his master is determined to change his fate even if he has to die! When Mu Qingge and I were drinking alone, she smiled and said that her life was not in vain to have such a filial disciple, but it was a pity that the relationship between master and disciple was so shallow. If there is an afterlife, she must teach them well to achieve the great way... But now you hate Wang Suizhi so much, just because he kidnapped several of your new disciples... You are so petty, you are not Mu Qingge at all!"

After hearing this, Mu Ranwu finally realized where she had made a mistake. She couldn't help but burst into laughter: "You two, are all talking about Mu Qingge's strengths and weaknesses? Okay, I know she is better than anyone else, so perfect that it's almost suffocating. She is impeccable to her disciples and friends... But how did she treat me? I am her own sister! She knew that I was not made for cultivation, and my foundation was so mediocre that it was not worthy of attention, but she still forced me into the door of cultivation. From then on, I was compared and ridiculed every day, and I couldn't hold my head up!"
