Chapter 455: Succubus (25)
"Grandpa, we're not bad people. If you can give us some clues, we'll reward you. Here's one hundred spirit stones," Senior Sister Qiling said. However, as soon as she took out the spirit stones, the old man slapped them away. "I don't know. You'd better leave now. You're not welcome here."
Qi Ling frowned and picked up the spirit stone.
Wen Wan looked at the old man in front of her, and finally turned around and left temporarily. "Are there any other elderly people in this village?"
"Yes, there is, but if Grandpa Chen doesn't say anything, the others probably won't know anything either."
"Could you take us to ask them?"
"sure."
Soon Wen Wan and the others went to meet the other people in the village. Sure enough, not many people knew about it, and even those who had heard of it didn't know the details.
The jade pendant that Master Tianqi left for Wen Wan, which could detect the blood of her descendants, showed no other reaction whatsoever.
Normally, there shouldn't be any descendants of the master here, but Wen Wan always felt that if she left this place, she would be even less able to fulfill the master's last wish.
After that, Wen Wan visited the old man every day. She was kicked out for the first few days, and although she wasn't kicked out for the next few days, the old man still didn't say a word. Qi Ling and the others wanted to persuade Wen Wan to give up.
Wen Wan shook her head. "I promised Elder Tianqi, and I can't go back on my word. Besides, I made a solemn oath. If this can't be found, I won't get away with it either."
The group gave up.
As monks, they knew all too well what this oath meant to a monk.
Although she couldn't get the information she wanted from her daily visits, Wen Wan still spent spirit stones to repair roads in the village, brought a lot of supplies for the villagers, and even asked people to help repair the ancestral hall of her master, the Elder Tianqi.
They also found several plots of land in the village suitable for farming, but they were all polluted to varying degrees, so even if they planted crops, the yield was extremely low. The pigs were thin and the chickens were small. They couldn't raise anything. But they couldn't leave either. The young people had all left, but the old people were unwilling to leave the place where they had taken root.
Wen Wan then began to deal with the land. After all, she was Master Yuan Hui's disciple. If she couldn't even solve this small problem, she would be disgracing her master.
Then they got to work in a flurry of activity.
At first, the villagers didn't believe that Wen Wan could solve a problem that hadn't been solved for decades. But in just half a month, the cabbages that had been planted grew, and they grew better and better, which greatly surprised the villagers.
They all started planting vegetables in their own fields, and they all sprouted. In the past, when they planted vegetables, very few of them would sprout or grow to adulthood.
Wen Wan also discovered that the water in the village was not clean, and the villagers had various illnesses. Wen Wan then began to solve the water source problem, and together with Qi Ling and Chu Feng, they helped the villagers build a new well.
Senior Brother Chu Feng was genuinely curious, "Is what you're doing useful?" He thought Wen Wan was doing these things to move that old man Chen and then help them.
Wen Wan: "I don't know, but they can have a better life in the future. I'm just doing this anyway, so I'll help them out."
Chu Feng: "..."
Alright, my junior sister is kind-hearted. She just hopes that old man Chen will tell them about the Tianqi Elder and Liu Xiuyun's descendants as soon as possible so that they can resolve the matter and then return to Mingyuan Sect to report back.
She opened a small medicine shop and started treating villagers for free. Soon, not only people from her own village, but also from other villages and towns came to Wen Wan for treatment. Wen Wan's fame soared in an instant, and she even earned the title of "Little Immortal Doctor".
A month passed just like that.
Wen Wan finally decided to give up waiting there. After treating the last patient, she prepared to close the medicine shop.
The patients asked, "Is Little Fairy Doctor leaving?"
Wen Wan nodded and said while preparing the medicine, "I have some things to take care of, so this medicine shop will be closed for the time being. Your leg problem is almost cured. Remember the dietary restrictions I told you to follow, and you should be fully recovered in about six months."
"Little Fairy Doctor is truly a living Bodhisattva, will you come back?"
Wen Wan: "If there's a chance."
Actually, there's not much of a chance. After all, the lifespan of cultivators is vastly different from that of ordinary people, and besides, she's a demon, so she'll have to go back sooner or later. Thinking about it, she feels that she might never be able to come to this place again in the future.
The villagers were very grateful and came to see Wen Wan off. Those who had received Wen Wan's kindness also gave her a lot of local specialties, worried that she might not accept them. However, Wen Wan accepted them all.
Even if she doesn't accept it, people will always remember the kindness she received.
Once she accepted it, the person was finally at ease and wouldn't be constantly worrying about it.
Besides, these are all good things; once cooked properly, they can make quite a few delicious dishes.
However, when Wen Wan was halfway there, Old Man Chen was waiting for them on the road.
Wen Wan: "Grandpa Chen, is there anything else?"
"Liu Xiuyun died long ago, and her remains have not been found. When the demons invaded our village, most of the villagers died, and Liu Xiuyun died too."
Upon hearing this, Wen Wan's mind sank somewhat.
I am disappointed, even though I knew this outcome was inevitable.
"However, she did leave behind a son named Liu Yi. Later, Liu Yi grew up and left the village. He even passed the imperial examination and became a third-ranking scholar. He then became an official and rose to a very high position. His descendants should be in Chu Yun City. You can go there to take a look."
Wen Wan was somewhat pleased; at least there was a clue.
"Thank you, Grandpa Chen. Why didn't you tell us before?" Wen Wan was still very curious.
"Because I am not sure of your purpose, Liu Xiuyun has been kind to my ancestors, and before she died she asked the villagers not to mention her identity, and she also asked her son never to come back. If Tianqi ever returns, she should not reveal any information about herself or her son."
Wen Yan: "..."
It seems the other party truly hates their master.
After bidding farewell to the old man, Wen Wan and her group prepared to go to Chu Yun City. They rented a flying boat and it took them a full half month to arrive in Chu Yun City. As soon as they entered the city, Wen Wan felt the prosperity of the place, which was very lively.
The people lived in peace and contentment, and occasionally, cultivators could be seen among them.
The group first booked a hotel, and then began to inquire about Liu Yi. Little did they know that by asking around, they would find out that the other party knew about Liu Yi.
It turns out that these were officials who once managed Chu Yun City, and their descendants are now also the managers of Chu Yun City. Even after the change of dynasties, the Liu family is still the city lord of Chu Yun City, and the current city lord is Liu Yunlai, a direct descendant of Liu Yi.
