Chapter 157 Old Friends
Ji Qingling really didn’t expect to meet Mo Zizhen here.
When the woman said, "I am Mo Zizhen," Ji Qingling was stunned.
Could it be that you think the other person is kind? Mo Zizhen looks a bit like Mo Sanniang, and Ji Qingling looks even more like her.
In fact, she and Mo Zizheng had only spent a few days together, and that was many years ago. At that time, she came to find Mo Sanniang, stayed at her house for three days, and was then taken away by Mo Sanniang.
Time passed so quickly that she didn't pay much attention to it when she was practicing. However, when she saw that Mo Zizheng was already middle-aged, she remembered that it happened many years ago.
After all, they are cousins, and she felt embarrassed to refuse Mo Zizheng's enthusiastic invitation.
Fortunately, Ji Qingling did not forget that there were three people waiting for her to pay for their meals.
He first went back to the restaurant, gave the silver to Ji Zuo, and told them the situation.
Neither of them expected that Ji Qingling would meet someone she knew here, and she was her cousin!
Several people agreed to meet at the inn, and Ji Qingling followed Mo Zizhen to her home.
On the way, Mo Zizheng told what had happened over the years.
Back then, her aunt helped her find a family, which is her current husband's family.
Her husband was a scholar and came from a wealthy family, and they were originally a harmonious family.
Who knew that her father-in-law committed a crime, which resulted in her husband being unable to pursue a career in politics.
Moreover, this incident brought shame upon the family, so they had to move away. After wandering around for half a lifetime, they finally arrived in the Daliang Kingdom.
Now she has given birth to two sons and two daughters. Except for the youngest daughter, all her children have started their own families.
Her youngest daughter has been seriously ill recently and the family is short of money, so she wanted to pawn some things.
Many of them were dowries that her aunt had prepared for her. She had been reluctant to take them out over the years.
Now she had no choice but to pawn it, but she didn't expect to see Ji Qingling. She looked so much like her aunt that it was hard not to recognize her.
When old friends meet, they should talk about happy things, but Mo Zizheng is now desperate and has no choice but to tell him all his difficulties.
Her little daughter got a strange disease for which there was no cure.
Although she had no spiritual roots, she knew a little bit that people who practiced cultivation had some elixirs and spells that could save people.
The thirteen-year-old girl, who was as beautiful as a flower, now looked like a withered skeleton, lying on the bed with her breath hanging by a thread, looking like she was about to die.
When she met Ji Qingling, she felt that God had sent a noble man to her daughter.
Along the way, Mo Zizheng told everything without reservation.
She remembered her aunt's temper. She would tell her what she wanted to say directly. If she could help, she would. But if she couldn't, she would not help no matter what she said.
I hope this cousin has the same temper as my aunt.
After all, they had only seen that one side of each other in their lives.
~ Ji Qingling looked at the little girl on the bed.
She had just checked and the child was not sick, but her anger was disappearing little by little!
"When did her illness begin?"
"It's been more than a month. There have been many people infected recently, so I didn't let her go out. Who knew she would suddenly become weaker day by day.
I have consulted many doctors, but it is useless.”
Ji Qingling discovered a problem, "You said there are many people infected? Are there other people who have the disease as well?"
Mo Zizhen wiped his eyes and said, "Yes, in the past two months, many people have been infected with this strange disease, and the doctors are helpless. More than a dozen people have died. If this continues, my Ling'er~ woo woo~"
"Are all the victims women?"
The eldest son of the family who had been standing nearby replied, "No, there are men, women, young and old. The first one was Manager Liu from the grocery store at the corner of the street."
Ji Qingling had no idea at all, it didn't seem like a simple illness.
"ah!"
The little girl lying on the bed suddenly screamed.
"Ling'er!"
"Little sister!"
Just at that moment, Ji Qingling felt the fluctuation of spiritual power!
Spiritual power?
"Is she always like this?"
"No, sometimes it happens once a day, sometimes once every two or three days."
When the little girl screamed, Ji Qingling felt that her life force had weakened a little.
Ji Qingling took something out of the storage bag and placed it under her body and mind, "Use your heart to feel the stone under your hand."
Mo Zizheng felt flustered, not understanding why Ji Qingling suddenly took out the spirit-testing stone. She had only seen this thing once in her life.
It was this time that completely changed her destiny.
The next moment, a faint light flickered on the spirit stone. Five-colored spirit roots! This result further confirmed Ji Qingling's guess that there was a demon cultivator!
Even if it's not grinding cultivation, it's evil cultivation! This is an evil technique that absorbs the vitality of others. She knows that it can be used to refine magic tools, formations, etc.
This is thanks to the Taiyi Sect's diverse teaching methods. Some of the sect's Nascent Soul elders have talked about demonic cultivation and evil cultivation in their lectures.
After using the regeneration technique to stabilize Ling'er's breath, she turned to Mo Zizhen and said, "At this time, I still need to find my senior brothers and sisters to help. I'll be back soon."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Mo Zizheng hasn't recovered from the shock just now. Her Ling'er has spiritual roots!
Ji Qingling was in no mood to comfort her at this time, so he asked Li Da, the eldest son of the Li family, "Go and check if there are any other families with this disease, and keep it quiet."
"knew."
Although I don’t know what Ji Qingling does, but she looks a bit like my mother when she was young, and my mother said that he should call her aunt.
He couldn't say it out loud, but he still had to obey his aunt's arrangements.
Ji Qingling returned to the inn and told Shen Ru and Ji Zuo what happened.
"Witchcraft?"
"Qing Ling, are you sure it's evil magic?"
Ji Qingling shook his head. "I'm not sure. I've only heard from the elders that it looks like it. We must go and take a look."
The other two naturally agreed. There is a sentence in their Taiyi Sect's rules that states that it is for the peace of all people in the world.
When they arrived at Mo Zizhen's house, Shen Ru observed Li Ling's breath and found that it was just as Ji Qingling said, there was nothing wrong with her internal organs.
But the breath was weak.
After Li Da came back after making inquiries, they chose a family that had a good relationship with Li's family.
After leaving Bao Wuya to Mo Zizheng's care, the three of them took Li Da out.
The patient in this family is a woman, and her condition is more serious than Li Ling'er's.
At first, the male host was a little hesitant when he saw the three young men coming, but Li Da said that Ji Qingling was his relative and came from a family of doctors.
Only then did he agree to let them try.
Ji Qingling inquired carefully about the woman's condition, but still had no clue.
Ji Zuo searched the house inside and out and found nothing.
Shen Ru asked, "Where have you two been together, or what have you eaten?"
Everyone thought hard but couldn't think of anything special.
At this time, the little girl of the family timidly said, "We went to the Taoist temple together half a year ago."
Taoist temple?
Li Da opened his mouth and said, "Sanni, by the way, Sanni is the best friend of my Ling'er."
Ji Zuo asked Sanni, "We went there half a year ago. Did your mother go there too?"
"Well, my mother, Aunt Li, Ling'er and I, the four of us went together."
"Then think carefully about what special things can happen that day?"
Politeness three requests. I'm going out now, see you tomorrow!
