1094 Soul Leaving the Body

ll Tanlang's injuries. I was just about to have Dabao and Lao Chen carry me upstairs to check on him when I saw Lin Yanqin rushing out of the backyard with red eyes."Lin Yanqin," I blurted out.She abr..."Hey, old lady, don't scare me! What do you mean 'no male descendants'" Is there a curse this harsh

I thought this old woman would lead us to the dark and gloomy front hall to talk, but who knew she kept talking as she walked, unknowingly leading us to the backyard.

This is further in than the house I lived in before, past the wall that separates the front and back yards.

It should belong to the front hall of the backyard, the furnishings here are simply two different worlds compared to the front yard.

Not luxurious, at least very comfortable!

The house where I was "imprisoned" before was empty and dusty, with a musty smell. The bed linens were mildewed.

I'm so mad, what kind of discrimination is this Is the Great Wizard that important

"Which tribe do you belong to" Mu Wanchen asked.

The old woman trembled slightly all over, as if this question had struck a nerve.

She stooped and bowed deeply to Mu Wanchen, who sat in the guest armchair.

"Alright, you're not afraid of breaking your back! Sit down and answer the questions quickly. Don't mess around with these formalities!" I couldn't help but say.

Although I dislike this old woman and Ms. Xue, seeing her withered and wrinkled appearance, respectfully bowing to Mu Wanchen, I feel a little...a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Hmph, definitely not feeling sorry for her. I'm worried that if she breaks a bone, there won't be any place to take her.

“I am from Shangyu Yuncun.” The old woman said in a very low voice.

Mu Wanchen frowned and said, "This village disappeared several years ago."

“....Yes, yes... I know. This girl's mother once secretly entered the Dharma Gate to look for her. She said there was only a ghost realm, where no grass grew, and she didn’t dare to step foot.” The old woman’s voice did not sound very sad.

They probably weren't experiencing the extinction of a tribe for the first time, Yun. Such a rare and ancient surname, I've never even heard of it.

Several years ago, something happened within the Dharma Gate. Someone with ill intentions tried to establish themselves there and oppose the Dao of Life and Death. A place was tainted by evil spirits for several years without dissipating. "Mulan explained.

The old woman nodded: "Since I used a corpse to deceive my companions and disguised myself as a refugee in times of chaos, I have also given birth to many children...Although life was hard back then, it was difficult to raise so many children, but I was happy to see so many of them..."

"I have a natal gu, and I understand both poison and pharmacology. My child can be cured of any ailment with my hand. Although I eat simply, all eleven of my children have lived."

"Alas, alas! Besides natural disasters, there are also man-made calamities. In this chaotic world, human lives are as numerous as blades of grass. Although my several sons grew up safely, none of them had a good end! Most of them died young..."

"At that time, I thought it was just the way of the world and didn't think much about it. Later, my daughters’ children also enlisted one after another, and these vibrant lives withered away prematurely, leaving only my daughters to support the family..."

Until the generation of Lu's mother, the world was at peace, ushering in an era of prosperity. There were no more wars or famines. However, regardless of how distant the blood relation, almost every boy born during this period experienced misfortune in his youth.

"My daughters and granddaughters travel all over the place, there are about seven or eight of them still alive now, but no one knows about my affairs. Every generation, I only choose one person who is passed down by word of mouth. The mother of Luo'er was a very strong-willed girl. After she grew up, she directly asked me if there was any blood curse, because before she gave birth to Luo'er and Yue'er, she had a miscarriage of a boy...After that, she devoted herself to solving this almost century-old mystery."

I listened to all of this, and in a hushed voice said, “You’re so devoted to having children…”

The old woman chuckled twice: “Back then, the Dragon King poisoned my son. We fought tooth and nail, a fight to the death! It wasn't just about my own flesh and blood; it was about a family, a clan, a nation, a cultural lineage... With children, there is a future..."

She changed the subject: "Your mother, that independent woman, didn't she start doing what she wanted after having you"

Humph, mother

If it weren't for my father being so "virtuous" and all these senior brothers and sisters helping to look after me and my sister, we, the children of Meining, would have long become misshapen.

"Hee hee hee, she was only twenty when she gave birth to you all. She herself was just a child, how could she possibly raise children"

Well There was also one previous pregnancy that unfortunately didn't make it. So, my father was quite daring in his youth, wasn't he He started dating a young woman around eighteen or nineteen.

"Therefore, if you don't figure out whether this man has the clan blood gu or not, you and Yue girl will probably suffer greatly in the future." The old woman sighed.

Mu Wanchen said faintly, “Xiao Luo'er has the Yin Gu on her body. This spiritual power is enough to protect her, and no poison or blood gu can harm her.”

The old woman grinned. “Little Luo’er has a sister too… As a mother, she cares about her children the same way.”

“I don’t believe it. I never thought she cared about us at all. She's so domineering and controlling, not even a single explanation! And she’s completely reckless, where did she even get that homemade shotgun Hmph… living in seclusion must have made her think no one can control her” I grumbled angrily.

"Don't get angry, dear. This is just how our lives are. You expect her to shower you with affection That's impossible...Besides, you're getting older, and you'll eventually have to face marriage and children. She doesn't want the same pain to continue."

"Humph... Then where is she now!"

The old woman's face twitched: "I also want to ask you, have you seen her"

"...."

It seems we're heading to the Witch King City. There should still be some people there who haven't been relocated. Strictly speaking, it's not Mu Wanchen's responsibility, but perhaps Ms. Xue has gotten into a dispute with these clanspeople

Mu Wanchen told me that people who raise Gu worms for generations usually have their own natal Gu. The natal Gu is the source of spiritual power. As long as the natal Gu doesn't die, even if they are seriously injured, they can slowly recover - of course, there's no need to recover if their body is completely destroyed.

Si Huang might have run back to heal, and if she runs into Ms. Xue again by chance, will these two women fight again

Moreover, logically speaking, if Ms. Xue couldn't enter the Si Clan Mausoleum or the Wu Clan King's Tomb, she should have returned—those places are already dilapidated and extremely dangerous. Would she really risk adventuring alone thereg for my car. Later, when I parked next to her, she immediately jumped in – that's not like someone who's mentally unstable."I recalled what Zhao Jie had said, she said she didn't know if Xi Linzhou w...
