Chapter 195 Do you miss him?
Of course Xu Chuchu would not have failed to think of what Ah Fu said.
In fact, she had already thought of Xiao Yu before dinner when she was daydreaming in the afternoon.
He had said before that he wanted to marry her before New Year's Eve, saying that this way they could "celebrate the New Year together as a family", but now... even Ah Fu has run away.
It should still be deserted and alone.
Faint candlelight, an empty room, no one is around. Looking at the lights outside, I am left alone, feeling sad. It is indeed very desolate.
Ah Fu has indeed been his good confidant for many years. Even though they escaped together, he still misses his young master in his heart.
"I can't." Xu Chuchu shook her head. "He has my sound transmission talisman, but I don't have his, so he can only send the message to me unilaterally."
Ah Fu thought it was just an excuse and said anxiously, "But Brother Cat told me it's OK!"
Xu Chuchu thought for a moment and said, "If he sends it to me first, I can reply to him within a quarter of an hour, but not after that. I'm not lying to you, Ah Fu, you can go ask Da Ju again."
"Is that so?" Ah Fu hugged his knees dejectedly, then suddenly looked up. "Then can you please see if he has any new messages for you tonight? Today is New Year's Eve, he must have something to tell you! If he does, can you reply?"
Xu Chuchu glanced at the bonfire beside him and shook his head: "No, if someone sends me a message, it will show up when I get close to the flames."
In fact, not only today, she hasn't received any message since the day Daju gave her a bunch of letters... She doesn't know why.
"Well, sorry to bother you, young lady." Ah Fu had no choice but to give up, but he added in the end, "If he sends a message tomorrow, can you reply?"
Xu Chuchu still didn't agree outright, and said lightly: "Let's talk about it later."
Seeing that she had a bad expression and seemed a little angry, Ah Fu didn't dare to say anything and tiptoed back to his room.
In fact, Xu Chuchu was not angry, she was just... confused.
If she had taken the energy and returned yesterday, she would not have seen the altar and the curse, had not met the great master, and knew nothing. She would definitely be very happy to celebrate the New Year with everyone now.
But now she knows everything, but she doesn't know how to change and feels particularly helpless.
She sat by the campfire for a long time, so long that a thin layer of snow accumulated on the shoulder away from the campfire, but she still couldn't figure it out.
"Chu Chu, what are you daydreaming about?"
The master finally finished his lecture on cheating at cards with satisfaction, walked out of his room and sat next to Xu Chuchu.
"It's nothing, it's just that too many things have happened recently." Xu Chuchu said.
The master smiled, looked up at the starry night sky, and said softly, "It's New Year's Eve."
"Yeah." Xu Chuchu nodded.
"You don't seem very happy. Are you missing that young master of the golden-scaled boa?" asked the master.
"No, Master." Xu Chuchu denied it. Master was not her biological mother, but she was more like her biological mother.
It feels so weird to be asked about my ex-boyfriend by my own mother.
The master smiled and said, "It's okay. It's normal to feel reluctant to let go. I've been chatting with Ah Fu these days, and he's told me a lot about your past with that young master, the brocade-scaled boa constrictor. You've been through so much together, it's impossible to let go of feelings just like that."
"I will let it go later." Xu Chuchu said.
Seeing that she still didn't want to say more, the master didn't nag her any further.
She gazed up at the starry sky and suddenly sighed, "This year's astrological signs are truly unusual. I've been observing for several days now. Light is radiating from the East and West Frontiers, and it's wavering. Furthermore, the Law Enforcement Star is shifting, and Taiwei Huan is retrograde... Chaos is brewing under heaven."
She turned to Xu Chuchu again: "Chuchu, you've been different since you came back last night. Is there something... that you didn't tell Master?"
Yes, how could she forget that her master is an astrology master who can know the major events in the world by observing the celestial phenomena. How could he possibly hide it from her?
Her master also wanted to teach her this trick back then, but she was star-blind. She could remember the appearance of the stars, but after a few hours she would not be able to recognize them if their positions changed.
Seeing that she really had no talent in this area, the master did not force her. Fortunately, she surpassed him in divination and cultivation.
"Yes, Master, the evil spirit is about to come to the world." Xu Chuchu said softly.
"What?!" Master was horrified. "When an evil spirit descends upon the world, there will be a catastrophe. This is no joke. Are you sure?"
"Sure." Now that things had come to this, Xu Chuchu no longer concealed anything and told her master everything she had seen and heard during her visit to the Imperial Observatory last night, including Xiao Yu, who was used as a medium by the fate-changing master.
"But I don't know how to stop it. My cultivation is still too low. If I had my previous cultivation, I would definitely be able to stop all this." She has been practicing hard since she left the Xiao Mansion, but she doesn't have a pure yang body by her side, nor does she have elixirs to help her like in modern times, so her speed is much slower than before.
"Then Master will stop it." Master suddenly said with great righteousness, "It just so happens that Master is now well and has the ability to stop it. As the saying goes, the fate of the country is the responsibility of every man."
Xu Chuchu quickly stopped him: "Master, you can't use your spiritual power recklessly! Besides, the opponent is at level seven, and you are only at level five, so you can't stop him."
"Seventh level?" Master asked in surprise, "Didn't you say the other party was at most fifth level?"
Xu Chuchu quickly shut up. Oops, she had let the cat out of the bag.
"You, you just know how to show off." The master immediately reacted and knocked her head angrily, "Don't lie to the master again!"
"I won't dare to do it again!" Xu Chuchu hurriedly asked, "Master, do you understand this so-called resurrection technique? Besides getting rid of the presiding physiognomist, is there any other way to stop it?"
The master nodded. "I've only read about this resurrection technique in books, never seen it in person. I remember the most difficult step is gathering energy. But you said he's already gathered so much energy, and it's hard for us to use it easily. It's really difficult to do."
"But his case is a little special," the master continued, "If you really want to stop it, it's actually not difficult."
"Is there any solution?" Xu Chuchu asked excitedly.
"Kill the medium," the master said. "Generally speaking, if you want to resurrect someone, you need someone with a similar constitution to serve as the medium. For example, a masculine constitution would seek a masculine medium, and a feminine constitution would seek a feminine medium. Prince Zheng, as you mentioned, also has the Golden Scaled Anaconda fate, so the medium must also find another Golden Scaled Anaconda. Those with the Golden Scaled Anaconda fate are so rare, only appearing once in a thousand years. If we kill the current one, he won't be able to find a new one, and he'll naturally be stopped."
Kill...the medium?
