Ran Ran's worries were obviously unnecessary. In the morning when he was having breakfast, Su Yishui was already surrounded by his future parents-in-law.
Qiao Lian is helping to cook now, which is convenient. She cooks all kinds of nutritious food for her future son-in-law. This morning, she stewed a pot of yam, atractylodes and mutton porridge for Su Yishui, and served it with large pieces of sea cucumber fried with green onions, which are all very beneficial to men.
When Gao Cang wanted to pick it up to eat, Qiao Lian stopped him and said, "You are young and energetic, and you are not married yet. You don't need to eat this. If you eat too much, you will have a nosebleed!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Su Yishui, then at Xue Ranran.
Xue Ranran didn't even look at anyone. She put the bowl to her face and stuffed the porridge into her mouth desperately. After she finished eating, she couldn't wait to leave the table early.
She would definitely tell her mother when she found a chance. She couldn't be so embarrassed. What did Su Yi's kidney condition have to do with her? Wouldn't it be misleading if she was so anxious?
But the one who had something to say to her was Yu Tong. Ever since she knew that Ran Ran was Mu Qingge from her previous life, her eyes became particularly complicated every time she looked at the little girl.
She had many prejudices against Mu Qingge in her previous life, but she liked Xue Ranran very much now. The mixture of like and dislike made her feel a little at a loss as to what to do with Ranran.
In the end, we could only avoid talking as much as possible to avoid embarrassment to each other.
But now, under the coercion of the Xue couple, the master had actually signed the contract. When she heard the news while helping in the kitchen, she was stunned.
After considering all this, Yu Tong felt that he could no longer remain silent and that he had to talk more thoroughly with Xue Ranran before handing his master over to her.
So she solemnly pulled Ranran into the bamboo forest, and asked her with a frown and cold eyes, "Do you have any intention of teasing your master?"
Ran Ran rubbed the acupuncture points on his head, sighed and said: "Even if your master was hit by the soul-cleansing talisman, his heart is as stupid as a lotus. But my parents are honest people, and they act in a simple and straightforward manner like a farmer. They came to propose marriage because they misunderstood me and my master. Don't worry, I have already told them that I will not marry Su Yishui..."
Yu Tong interrupted her hastily: "You misunderstood. I didn't mean to condemn you. Twenty years ago, I was still young and inevitably had a biased view of things. So I accidentally said bad things about you before. Please forgive me."
Yu Tong is not stupid. After so many twists and turns, he has a better understanding of Mu Qingge's character 20 years ago. If he was older at that time, he might admire Mu Qingge like Zhou Feihua.
And now she finally understood why her master had been unhappy for the past twenty years. If the two of them could become a happy couple, her master's long-cherished wish would be fulfilled, and her life would be perfect.
She also had a selfish motive, and wanted to tell Ranran: "My brother and I have always stayed with the master. In addition to the master-servant relationship, it was also because the master was alone and helpless in this world. But if he can have you as a companion, he will no longer be alone, and I can completely put my mind at ease and resign from the master."
It turned out that Yutong's mood had changed a lot since her child and lover were kidnapped at the foot of the mountain last time.
Becoming an immortal is certainly enviable, but being able to watch your loved one grow up and even grow old is a happiness that even immortals can only dream of.
Yu Tong felt full of guilt towards her son and lover, so she had long given up the idea of cultivating immortality and was thinking of finding an opportunity to go down the mountain and complete the long-awaited wedding with her lover.
And now, Ranran is going to marry the master, which is obviously a suitable opportunity. So Yu Tong's visit to Xue Ranran this time is a bit like his mother remarrying and entrusting his son to her before his death.
In addition, Yu Tong has not mentioned this to Su Yishui. She is a little worried about the reaction of her master and brother. If they do not agree, then even if she feels reluctant to leave the father and son at the foot of the mountain, it will not be easy for her to leave alone.
However, Ranran thought this was a good thing. Yutong's son was still young, less than seven years old, and just needed his mother. She agreed immediately and helped Yutong mention it to Su Yishui, so that she would not be too embarrassed to speak in front of her master.
When Ran Ran mentioned this to Su Yishui, Su Yishui said seriously: "She is gone, who will take care of me?"
Ran Ran was grinding ink for him, but she never expected him to say such a vicious word: "So, you want to stop the family of three from reuniting just because they lack someone to take care of them?"
While Su Yishui was transcribing the prescription, he continued indifferently: "She left because she thought you would marry me. If you didn't marry me, would she be at ease?"
Ranran blinked her eyes. She understood. My goodness, it turned out that she was the culprit who prevented Yutong's family from being happy?
This skill of blaming others for something else should not have been taught to this traitor in her previous life. Ran Ran Yanmo's hand paused, and she tilted her head to look at Su Yishui's handsome profile: "Are you...forcing me to get married?"
Su Yishui shook the written list with a sneer and said, "I'm not a scoundrel in your village who can't find a wife. You can marry me if you want."
Although he spoke calmly, the way he frowned and pouted his lips slightly showed that he was clearly angry with someone.
Ran Ran burst out laughing, rolled her eyes mischievously and said, "Then if you agree to let Yu Tong go down the mountain, I will carefully consider our marriage?"
This time, Su Yishui snorted coldly and said nothing more. Ranran also picked up the small regular script brush and copied the prescription.
This time, the enemy of West Mountain is the Brahma Sect which has not been seen for a long time. There are too many evil sects like this and we have to guard against them. In the past few days, the alchemy furnace in West Mountain has been burning to make a batch of pills.
The master and his disciple were copying down prescriptions to distribute to others.
But after writing for a while, Su Yishui suddenly asked again: "How long do you want to consider it?"
Ran Ran was copying so hard that she let out an "ah" in confusion. When she saw Su Yishui glaring at her fiercely, she suddenly realized that he was continuing the conversation just now.
How should she answer this? She didn't know how long she would think about it. In the end, she answered too hesitantly, which obviously made the big devil unhappy again.
With a cold face, he stood up, waved his long sleeves, and walked out of the study in a chill.
Ranran called him, but he didn't even turn around. He was really more willful than a child.
Ran Ran originally thought that he would be angry with Yu Tong. But unexpectedly, Yu Tong came running to her happily and told her that her master had agreed to let her go down the mountain, and even her wedding dowry would be paid by Xi Shan.
When Yuchen heard that his sister was getting married, the usually proud man burst into tears. He felt that as a brother he owed his sister too much as she had to wait until she was so old to get married.
This cry was like a raging river that could not be stopped, causing Su Yishui to finally say: "Why not...you also go down the mountain to live with your sister, get married and have children."
Yuchen Putong knelt down and said, "Master, I will stay by your side for the rest of my life! Even if you stop me, I won't leave!"
After saying this, he burst into tears again, like the sobbing and fear of a loyal dog being abandoned.
Yutong's marriage is a happy event after all, and it allows the people of Xishan, who have been so tense, to relax a little.
Ran Ran also brought his fellow apprentices down the mountain to buy necessary things for Yu Tong, such as dowry and wedding quilts.
However, when they returned to the West Mountain, a bloody gourd suddenly appeared from the side of the mountain road.
Everyone thought some evil spirit had sneaked into the West Mountain again, and they jumped back in fright.
But Ranran saw clearly that this person... was none other than Elder Wen Chunhui of the Kongshan Sect.
She is the elder who is in charge of the sect's affairs after Wen Hongshan. When Ran Ran got the stolen horse back in Gaokan, he had dealt with Wen Chunhui and felt that this elder was different from the likes of Kaiyuan Zhenren and was quite upright.
At this time, her whole body was covered with wounds, and it was obvious that she had escaped death.
Ran Ran asked, "Master Wen, what happened? Why are you so vicious?"
At this time, Wen Chunhui had just taken a sip of the water that Qiu Xier had brought to him, and then wiped the blood off his face, and said with a trembling voice: "The three major sects are almost destroyed, and there is not a single elite disciple left. Retribution... Is this retribution?"
She was also present when Mu Qingge was besieged. I still remember that woman covered in flaming red standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the three major sects that were besieging her, and said loudly: "I, Mu Qingge, have done my best to save the people, but some of you have deliberately concealed the truth and failed to distinguish right from wrong. Although I am not afraid of life and death, I am afraid that you will suffer the same pain of being fooled today. By then, I am afraid that the righteous path in the world will be destroyed and will no longer exist!"
At that time, Mu Qingge's words were sharp, but no one in the crowd who were eager to destroy the witch took her words to heart.
Unexpectedly, her curse-like words would slowly come true one by one more than 20 years later.
At this time, Wen Chunhui looked at Xue Ranran, who was the reincarnation of Mu Qingge, and felt remorseful and regretful. She could hardly catch her breath.
Ran Ran quickly stuffed her with a soul-soothing pill, which finally temporarily stabilized her heart rate.
However, Ran Ran did not let anyone carry her up the mountain, because Wen Chunhui said that she had previously experienced a fierce battle with the Brahma Sect.
The Brahma Cult is so evil, no one can guarantee whether Wen Chunhui has been tricked or not, and whether there are any evil things on her body.
So Ranran thought it would be safer to temporarily place her in a thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain.
When Su Yishui and the others came over, Wen Chunhui also told them about her previous experiences in bits and pieces.
It turned out that when monsters were rampant in various places, the people from the three major sects had the intention to regroup. After all, in the previous battles between good and evil, the three major sects had suffered continuous casualties and their reputations were in jeopardy.
Therefore, the three major sects discussed it and, with Kaiyuan Zhenren taking the lead, decided to take advantage of the opportunity to exterminate the monsters to restore the reputation of the sect and recruit a group of promising talents to continue the sect's incense.
Originally, this idea was not bad. Although those monsters were powerful, they were all from the underworld and were recorded in ancient books. If you were careful, they would not be scary. If you couldn't defeat them, you could run away, which would be easier than fighting against the demon cult generals.
With this plan in mind, the three major sects raised their clearing banners high and acted in a high-profile manner.
But when their three major sects gathered together and prepared to capture the nine-headed monster python that was causing evil in Mang Mountain, an accident occurred.
Because the nine-headed python had eaten people in the local area, its body had grown huge and it could not hide anywhere in the forest, so it was easy to find.
At that time, Kaiyuan Zhenren intended to let his Jiuhua Sect take the lead, so after cutting off the snake's tail, he thought it was a sure win, so he summoned officials from the local prefecture, county, and set up a viewing platform at the foot of the mountain, inviting the officials to appreciate the heroic figures of these righteous people in subduing demons and monsters.
At the same time, they bought a lot of firecrackers and hired gong and drum players, preparing to beat the gongs and drums and set off firecrackers when they were ready to kill the monster python and lift it down, making them look like heroes.
These were all the ideas of Kaiyuan Zhenren. He had also heard about Xishan's subduing of the water demon. It was obviously a good thing to boost his reputation, but a few people in Xishan who didn't understand the ways of the world messed it up.
Obviously, the water monsters have been conquered, so we just need to hand them over to the local officers and soldiers to be celebrated and commended.
As a result, those idiots from Xishan actually offended the government just for rescuing a few demonized villagers!
Finally, it seemed that the local people also complained, privately blaming Xishan for releasing those possessed people, wondering if they would be transformed into demons again in the future.
Kaiyuan Zhenren also learned a lot from Xishan's "stupidity". He never did anything that was thankless and just did enough superficial work.
But when everything was ready except for the east wind, the Kaiyuan Master and the people from the other two major sects did not expect that an accident would happen. The big snake that was about to surrender suddenly grew in size like a giant dragon, swallowing up several disciples from the three major sects on the spot. After absorbing their cultivation, the nine-headed monster python even grew thin and huge wings on its back, and the whole giant python soared into the sky, covering the sky and the sun.
At that time, Kaiyuan Zhenren knew that he had failed to steal the chicken and had to lose the rice instead. He did not care about the officials who had been dragged to the foot of the mountain to watch his show, and he decided to escape by burrowing into the earth.
He was beaten to a pulp and had no chance to escape when Wei Yan and his men from Chimen arrived in time.
Wei Yan is now cooperating happily with Su Yu. He has the same idea as the three major sects. He is also planning to take this opportunity to do some righteous business, bring fame to Chimen, and annex the three major sects.
So just after Kaiyuan Zhenren and his men messed up the python-slaying scene, Wei Yan descended from the sky like a divine soldier, and chopped off all nine heads of the giant snake with his unparalleled strength and power.
The firecrackers that Master Kaiyuan had ordered people to prepare, along with the deafening gongs and drums, all became entertainment to celebrate the success of Master Wei of Chimen.
Needless to say, the three major sects were deeply regretful; they had originally planned to show their faces, but ended up showing only their butts.
However, Zhenren Kaiyuan has always been thick-skinned. He believes that it was their three major sects that laid the foundation, which allowed Chimen to finally come and reap the benefits. He then argued with Wei Yan with a fake smile.
Ordinary snakes can be said to be full of treasures, and this nine-headed monster snake has materials for cultivating and refining medicine all over its body. Master Kaiyuan didn't want Wei Yan to have it all to himself, so he was begging for something, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
Wen Chunhui has some dignity. She had already been badly defeated in the fight with the python, so how could she have the nerve to stay and share the spoils?
So she did not wait for Wei Yan to mock her, and led her disciples to leave early. It was precisely because she led her disciples to leave a few steps earlier that she was able to escape the subsequent bizarre disaster.
Just when the people from the three major sects were arguing with the Chimen and were preparing to divide up the giant python, the nine chopped-off python heads suddenly exploded, spurting out blue blood, which instantly wrapped the people who were close to the snakes into blood bubbles.
The people inside struggled desperately, and the blood bubbles sank and bulged, and after a while they burst open, and the people inside crawled out. The strange thing was that two people crawled out of each blood bubble, and the two people looked exactly the same.
Wen Chunhui was far away at the time, and when she saw this scene, she felt all the hairs on her body tremble.
The identical "twins" who came out of the blood bubble were all very surprised. They looked at each other, shouted "demon", and attacked themselves opposite to each other.
Wen Chunhui was stunned by the sudden change. The two people that appeared in each blood bubble not only had the same appearance and voice, but also the same martial arts and even the weapons they carried were exactly the same, making it impossible to tell which one was real and which one was fake.
Several groups of people took action at the same time, and the situation became a mess. Wen Chunhui was confused just watching. Although she knew something was wrong, she had no idea who to help.
After a while, the winners and losers of the several groups were determined one after another. The bodies of those who were seriously injured turned into blue blood mist with a bang, and were blown away by the wind.
Wei Yan of Chimen was knocked down by "himself" on the opposite side and fell into the deep valley.
The surviving Kaiyuan Zhenren showed a strange smile on his face, looked around, and said to Wei Yan and the people from other sects, "I didn't expect the strange python to be so insidious and actually change its shape. Fortunately, the alien power it changed into was not deep, and it was killed by us!"
The victors from other sects also echoed, as if parrots were repeating what others said: "I didn't expect the python to be so insidious and actually change its shape. Fortunately, the alien it transformed into was not very powerful, and was killed by us!"
After saying this, those people all looked at Wen Chunhui not far away with extremely strange expressions.
Kaiyuan Zhenren smiled at her and said, "Elder Wen, you are the only one missing..."
Wen Chunhui led the disciples behind her and took a few cautious steps back. When she was about to turn around and leave, those people actually picked up the only remaining snake head and threw it at her.
Wen Chunhui relied on her agility to dodge, but several disciples beside her were hit and were also wrapped in blue blood bubbles. When the blood bubbles burst, identical people walked out and another round of infighting broke out.
The last person who was left had a weird smile on his face, exactly like Master Kaiyuan...
At that moment, Elder Wen Chunhui suddenly remembered the legend about the nine-headed python. It was said that the blood of the python could split the human body, and the evil one could replace it.
In other words, the people who are smiling at her now are no longer the same people as before!
Just as she figured this out, Wen Chunhui was surrounded and attacked by those mocking people.
Just when she was seriously injured and unable to fight back, she felt her feet sink and fell off the cliff. Then her mouth was covered by a big hand and talismans were stuck on her body.
She turned around and saw that Wei Yan, who had fallen off the cliff earlier, was hanging on a tree branch halfway up the mountain. He covered her mouth with his hand and put the Drunken Immortal's invisibility talisman on her, which created the illusion of falling into a deep abyss.
Wen Chun watched with keen eyes, and the faces on the top of the cliff looked grimly down at the cliff.
At this time, the sound of gongs and drums came closer from the foot of the mountain, and the officials, soldiers and villagers from the foot of the mountain came up the mountain to welcome the triumphant immortals.
So those evil things just naturally went down the mountain under the names of the three major sects and Akamen.
If Wei Yan and Wen Chunhui had not luckily survived, this switch would have gone completely unnoticed.
After those people carried the giant python away, the two men finally climbed up from halfway up the mountain.
Wei Yan had been working hard for half his life, and when he was about to come to the fore, he was impersonated by someone else. He was extremely furious.
However, his mind was still clear, and he told Wen Chunhui not to return to Kongshan Sect, but to go to Xishan to tell Su Yishui and Xue Ranran about the situation of the three major sects.
Now, the only ones who could protect her were the people in Xishan. Wei Yan then turned and headed to the palace to find Su Yu to explain the situation and think of a solution.
Before the two parted ways, they saw the situation at the foot of the mountain from a distance.
In order to show off his supernatural powers, Wei Yan asked Tu Jiuyi and most of the believers to wait at the foot of the mountain.
At this time, Tu Jiuyi was half-kneeling in front of the fake Wei Yan, listening to his orders. The fake Wei Yan even frivolously hooked Tu Jiuyi's chin with his finger.
Wei Yan's eyes were about to burst. But he knew that the fake had completely copied his skills, and he himself was seriously injured. If he went out now, he would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog.
At this point, he and Chunhui took separate actions to look for reinforcements.
After listening to these bizarre stories told by Wen Chunhui, Xishan's disciples looked at each other in bewilderment.
Qiu Xier was so anxious that she scratched her ear and said, "This... is difficult to deal with. Even if it is the real Monkey King and the fake Monkey King, it is difficult to distinguish the real one from the fake one in front of the magic mirror. If it is really like what you said, the real one and the fake one are so similar that they are like twins, how can we tell them apart? Moreover, you speculated that most of the people in the sect have been killed. I am afraid that no one will believe you even if you say it."
Su Yishui and Xue Ranran also looked at each other. Xue Ranran, in particular, could not help but sigh. When he was first accepted as Su Yishui's disciple, the three major sects were still thriving, like the sun at its zenith.
Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. The three major sects have suffered repeated blows recently, and now all the main figures have been replaced. If this continues, the sect will be destroyed soon. No wonder Wen Chunhui is so dazed and in pain.
Although Su Yishui said nothing, he knew in his heart that these three major sects had to be saved. After these strange pythons transformed into aliens completely controlled the three major sects, they would definitely not let Xishan go.
The only way now is to catch them off guard and get rid of them before they know the truth.
However...Su Yishui has always been suspicious: Is this Wen Chunhui in front of him real or fake?
Xue Ranran seemed to see his doubts. In fact, she had thought of this point herself. The method of testing was not difficult. She just didn't know whether her idea was feasible.
