Counterattack Xiaoxian

Chapter 178 Blind Fish Picture

The poison of the coffin beast is very fast, so it must be the killer of the beast. I also thought that it would be great if Master Sang was at home. Maybe he would have a way...

Crying at night was particularly soul-crushing, and he had a sleepless night.

The next day, he specially carried a basket and prepared to go shopping in the market. He still had some green snail money, but Master Sang said he was leaving anyway, so he could spend it as much as he could.

Recently, the market has been like a Chinese New Year, because a large number of believers from all over the country have flocked in to buy food, drink, and other items, and everyone is looking happy.

However, there are also rumors flying around, saying that a certain village was attacked by a beast, and that the Fu people crossed the river somewhere. In short, there is an undercurrent.

Ji Lingchu was also at a loss. He knew that turmoil was coming, but he didn't know where to go. He calmed down, put all this behind him, and started browsing the shops and stalls.

Along the way, he spotted a dyed handkerchief at a street stall. It had a blue background and white stripes. It showed a group of fish swimming in a winding waterway. They were lively and lifelike, but each fish had no eyes.

This was strange, so I asked the stall owner, who replied: "This is a blind fish picture. It is said to be made by Granny Zhiluo of Yao Shrine."

The more he looked at it, the more strange he felt. He secretly made a guess in his mind, so he bought it, bought some soft pastries, and turned around to go to Yao Shen Palace.

He first found Huazang and asked about the saint's current situation. He heard that she was discussing something with the clan leader, so he didn't bother him and took Huazang to Zhiluo Hall.

Huazang actually didn't want to go, saying that the mother-in-law had a weird temper, but he couldn't resist Ji Lingchu. When the two arrived, a waiter immediately informed them.

Later, they met Granny Zhiluo in a pile of spindle brocades. She was a very elegant old woman with delicate and well-maintained skin. She must have been a great beauty when she was young, but her face was different from that of a witch. Most of them are biased towards Fu people.

Next, he finally understood why Huazang didn't want to come over. Granny Zhiluo saw Huazang like a little girl seeing a Barbie doll, hugging and squeezing her. She was so precious.

Huazang didn't dare to resist and looked at Ji Lingchu angrily. He couldn't help but want to laugh and "coughed" heavily.

Granny Zhiluo moved her gaze over and said, "You are the son of King Xiangnan. There should be the word 'shadow' in the middle of your name, right?"

I do not know! This was the first time he heard about it. Ji Ling was initially shocked and immediately became vigilant.

He saluted and said: "Ji Zi, I have not avenged my father's hatred, so I don't mind mentioning my name."

"Haha, look at your sour strength, it's nothing like Shang Yin Zong."

Ji Lingchu dealt with it carefully and said, "Mother-in-law knows my father?"

"Shang Yin Zong was a talented and daring man back then. He defied public expectations and married a foreign wife. Later, he was involved in some dirty things. It's a pity!"

Grandma Zhiluo said something that did not answer the question. Ji Ling was confused at first, and then he heard her ask: "What do you want from me, grandma?"

He quickly took out the dyed handkerchief and asked her where the pattern on the handkerchief came from.

Grandma Zhiluo was slightly stunned when she saw this. With a flick of her finger, a threaded copper needle shot out, flying like a dragonfly between the beams of the house, and accurately brought back one of the patterns hanging all over the beam.

This pattern is a little yellowish, probably due to age.

She held the drawing in her hand and stared at it for a long time, as if memories flashed across her brows.

When Ji Ling first looked at it, he saw that the pattern on it was exactly the same as the one in his hand, except that the lines, composition, and colors were more outstanding.

It seems that the rumors are true. This picture was indeed made by Granny Zhiluo. He whispered: "Grandma...?"

Granny Zhiluo came back to her senses, stared at him, and said: "The old woman in charge of the stove is really right. You are also dishonest. You caused me trouble when we first met."

Ji Lingchu was embarrassed. He didn't expect to be chewed out by two old ladies. He should really behave more carefully in the future.

Granny Zhiluo turned to Huazang beside her and said, "You go to the room to find some sweets, and I'll talk to your brother.

Hua Zang was granted amnesty, made a face at Ji Lingchu, and ran away happily.

Granny Zhiluo said to him: "This picture involves a piece of my past. Do you really want to know?"

"This...I just want to see where you drew it."

"Then you have to promise to do something for your mother-in-law."

"That depends on what it is."

"I will never make things difficult for you."

"Okay!" Ji Lingchu nodded.

Then Granny Zhiluo looked at the drawing again, her eyes seemed to travel across thousands of mountains and rivers, and she started to talk.

At that time, she was at her best age, beautiful and innocent. Although she was in the palace, her enthusiasm had not faded and she still had expectations.

She fell in love with a man. This man was like the sun in her heart, blazing and hot, but falling in love with the sun was not allowed. They could only look at each other from afar.

But how can the flame be extinguished so easily? The more suppressed it is, the more intense it will burn! Finally one day they got a chance to get together, ate the forbidden fruit, and decided to elope.

The men and women who escaped from the palace were like birds leaving their cages, spending the happiest time in their lives... Then the pursuers arrived. They fled to the end of the world, panicked and came to a big river.

In order to escape danger, the man hid the woman and led the pursuers away. Before leaving, the man told the woman that he must wait for him to come back to find her.

The woman waited and waited...for a long time, becoming more and more haggard and desperate day by day, and finally threw herself into the river.

She thought that was the end of it, but when she woke up, she found that she was in a new place. She lived in that place for a while, and then was rescued.

This blind fish picture depicts that place or those days or those emotions.

At the most nervous moment, Ji Lingchu swallowed her saliva and asked, "Has she seen anything strange?"

"Strange? Maybe. At that time, she was half asleep and half awake, and seemed to see the stars falling upside down."

Oh, this is it, Ji Lingchu said excitedly: "The galaxy is falling! What does it look like?"

Grandma Zhiluo shook her head and said: "At that time, she was so depressed that she was not interested in anything and did not pay special attention to it."

He was discouraged for a moment, but thinking about it, it was already a great gain, so he said: "Please tell me, mother-in-law, where that place is?"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet," Granny Zhiluo said: "Later, the woman heard that her man not only survived, but also got promoted and became the chief steward of the palace."

Ji Lingchu said "Oh!", which was not surprising. In fact, he had already guessed the result as soon as Granny Zhiluo started narrating.

Watching so many bloody dramas is not for nothing, and I guessed that what she was telling was her own story. I can only say that the people she trusts are unkind, and the people she meets are not kind. There are scumbags everywhere.

At this point, she took out an ebony comb from her arms and said, "If you have the opportunity to enter the palace, return this comb to the person and ask her why?"
