Shang Ruoyi came to Ye Lao's yard.
"What's that smell?" Shang Ruoyi sniffed it and said, "It smells good."
"Gu incense." Ye Lao said calmly, "It is made by burning the Gu insects and then mixing them with spices. Smelling it will make you feel refreshed and beneficial to your body and mind."
"Just now you said that many families in southern Xinjiang who raise Gu are here to save people. You are proficient in Gu techniques. I wonder which family in southern Xinjiang are you from?"
Ye Lao waved his hands and said, "I am not proficient in Gu magic. In southern Xinjiang, Gu magic is ever-changing, and I have only learned the basics." He sighed and said, "As for my family, it's better not to talk about it."
"You put it like that, and I'm even more curious." Shang Ruoyi said with a smile, "What's the reason?"
"The Ye family in Southern Xinjiang has disappeared. In my generation, I am the only one left." Old Ye said in a low voice: "I have no wife or children, I am all alone. After a hundred years of my life, the Ye family will have completely disappeared."
Since this was a sad topic, Shang Ruoyi didn't want to poke holes in other people's wounds: "It's the junior who was presumptuous."
"No problem." Ye Lao smiled and said, "I came to you today to explain some things."
"Explain?" Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly: "You want to leave?"
"I have to go back to Southern Xinjiang. I still have some things to take care of." Ye Lao's expression was slightly serious: "You have been busy these days. I should have told you these things a long time ago."
"I'm all ears."
"There is one more thing you need to know about Tianyin Sect." Ye Lao said in a low voice: "The leader of Tianyin Sect is the former Saintess of Southern Xinjiang."
"The Saintess of Southern Border?"
"Yes, only the Gu technique of the Saint of Southern Xinjiang is so popular." Ye Lao said in a low voice: "Only the Saint can raise the Ten Thousand Gu Emperor, because the Saint has been nurtured by the blood of Gu insects since her mother. After she is born, she will take the blood of various Gu Emperors to develop the Ten Thousand Gu Saint Body. The Saint's status in Southern Xinjiang is comparable to that of the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang."
Shang Ruoyi was a little puzzled: "Then why did she leave her job as a saint and establish the Tianyin Sect?"
"I don't know the whole story." Ye Lao said calmly, "But once the Saint of Southern Xinjiang consummates her marriage with a man, she will be stripped of her title of Saint. It is said that she left Southern Xinjiang for training, and when she returned to Southern Xinjiang a few years later, she was driven out of her position as Saint by the royal family. It is said that she has given birth to a child, but no one knows who the man is and where the child is."
Hearing this, Shang Ruoyi narrowed her eyes slightly, as if something was connected in her mind.
Xiao Zhenzhen said that He Jinghe was the grandson of the sect master. The old princess revealed the identities of He Jinghe and his father He Ning'an during her exile. He Ning'an was born to a prostitute. After the prostitute gave birth to He Ning'an, she was driven away, leaving the mother and the child behind.
No way!
"There is one more thing I would like you to clear up for me, junior."
"you say."
"Saintess of Southern Border, apart from raising Gu, can you still use your abilities?"
Old Ye frowned slightly and whispered, "You mean the ability he mentioned? Are you referring to the strange arts?"
Sure enough, Mr. Ye also knew about it.
"Compared with the energy in your body, that strange art is nothing to mention, but the curse is extremely difficult to resolve. Your mother was cursed in the first place, and I couldn't help her resolve it, so her health got worse and worse." He said with some regret, "Plus, she put all her energy into love, and her body's energy was exhausted, and she would die."
"How do you get the energy for your body?"
"I'm afraid only you know this." Ye Lao said calmly, "I observed the stars at night, and the chaos is slowly gathering. We don't have much time left."
"I see."
Returning to her own courtyard, Shang Ruoyi felt heavy-hearted. Although she now understood the identity of the sect master, she still felt that something was strange.
When she came to the space, He Jinghe was still unconscious. Shang Ruoyi snapped her fingers, and the confinement force of the space disappeared. He Jinghe's breathing frequency obviously became faster. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and looked around in confusion.
Where is this?
He Jinghe's eyes were fixed on a familiar figure in the distance.
"Shang, Shang Ruoyi?"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Why, you were unconscious for a day and you don't even recognize people?"
"Where is this?" he said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do? I tell you, you'd better let me go right now, otherwise, my grandmother will tear you into pieces!"
"Your grandmother was just a prostitute in your hometown. Even if she was the Saint of Southern Border, it was who knows how many years ago. If you die, Tianyin Sect will have no successor and will be destroyed sooner or later." Shang Ruoyi's eyes were full of sarcasm. "You have the nerve to mention your grandmother's body. If I were you, I would have found a place where no one knows me and hid away long ago."
"Shut up!" He Jinghe said angrily, "What do you know? My grandmother is not a prostitute. She is of noble status. She came to Tianshun with that status. She is the Saint of Southern Xinjiang. Do you know what a saint is? She is the most noble woman in the world. You have never even seen her. What qualifications do you have to say that about her! After my grandmother, there will never be anyone more noble than her in Southern Xinjiang, and there will never be another saint."
"The most noble woman?" Shang Ruoyi sneered: "What's so difficult about this sentence? I can say it too. Besides, how do you know that I have never seen a saint?" Shang Ruoyi smiled: "You have seen one before. The Queen of Tianshun is the next saint after your grandmother."
"What did you say?"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "I said, the queen is the saint who will come after your grandmother."
As soon as she finished speaking, He Jinghe's face turned extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you sure?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Not bad."
He Jinghe staggered a few times, then laughed: "So that's it, so that's it!"
Shang Ruoyi saw that he looked a little crazy and frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
He Jinghe pretended not to hear and continued to laugh, and tears began to flow as he laughed.
"So you've been using me from the beginning to the end, hahaha." She lay on her back on the bed with a hollow look in her eyes.
Shang Ruoyi narrowed her eyes slightly. For some reason, she felt a little panic in her heart, as if something bad was going to happen. As time passed, this feeling became stronger.
"He Jinghe, stand up and explain yourself." Shang Ruoyi said coldly, "If you tell the truth, I might spare your life."
He Jinghe supported himself and sat up, his face full of mocking smiles: "I won't tell you, if I tell you it will be worthless, you will still want my life, besides..." He looked at his palm and sneered: "I am a rotten life now, it doesn't matter to me whether I am alive or not."
