Seven Strings in Dreams

Elder Jiayu pushed the door open and came out.

Jiayu: "Wuna, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Wu Na: “Yes”

Jiayu: "Come in, Xianyu, you come too."

Meng Xianyu: “Okay”

Meng Xianyu thought that she had nothing to do with it. After all, the high priest didn't seem to be so easy to get along with.

Jiayu: "Follow me"

Meng Xianyu and Wu Na followed, and Elder Jiayu gave a few more instructions.

Jiayu: "Wuna, do you want to go back?"

Wu Na: “I want to stay”

Jiayu: "If you don't leave tonight, you may have to stay for three to five days before you can leave."

Wu Na: "Why? Can't we go down the mountain tomorrow?"

Jiayu: "Now the village is in turmoil. They know that Wulan, Liya and Rejia have provoked the Nether Sea Snail and the Demon Blood Conch, and people have died. A Xita Ali couldn't accept it and crashed to death outside the ancestral temple. I'm afraid the matter can't be easily resolved. Some people also say that..."

Jiayu stopped and looked at Meng Xianyu.

Meng Xianyu: "Why are you looking at me? What does it have to do with me?"

Wu Na: "Elder, I'm used to whatever they say over the years. Just tell me. I'm mentally prepared."

Jiayu: "I don't know who spread the rumor. Some people said that it was because you saved Xianyu, she is a wronged ghost, a fierce ghost in the sea, so your family is in trouble."

Meng Xianyu: "Uh, disaster came from the sky! I was just being blamed!"

Jiayu: "I will tell you two the details later. You should go see Wulan first! I only have one request. No matter what happens, you can't leave! Otherwise, I won't protect you two in the future."

Wu Na and Meng Xianyu nodded.

Wu Na patted Meng Xianyu's hand: "It's okay, don't worry"

Meng Xianyu: "I'm fine. I won't die if I get scolded."

Jiayu opened a curtain and said, "Amon, I brought them both here."

Monk: "How many times have I told you not to call me Amon?"

Jiayu: "Okay, Ake"

Monk: "Ulan, Wuna is here!"

Ulan was originally dazed, but she slowly opened her eyes and saw Monk sitting on the edge of the bed holding her hand. She immediately struggled to get up.

Monk gently helped Wulan sit up against the quilt.

Wulan: “Why am I here?”

Wu Na and Meng Xianyu were both behind Jia Yu, and there was a bead curtain behind Wu Lan and Meng Ke, so they couldn't see clearly. Jia Yu saw it and shook his head, and Jia Yu even deliberately blocked Wu Na behind him.

Wu Na: “Ali”

Wu Lan was a little flustered when she heard Wu Na's voice.

Monk: “Come on.”

Three people came in through the curtain.

The Ulan man was very weak, and his entire face was exposed in front of the three people.

Jiayu: "I haven't seen you like this for a long time, Wulan. It seems like I have gone back to a long time ago."

Jiayu and Mengke have been playing together since they were young, but both of them were trapped in love when they were young, and they were always around their beloved women. They kept a certain distance from the women they liked. Although Wulan and Jiayu were not good friends, they were familiar with each other.

Wulan: "Jiayu, thank you for taking care of Wuna"

After hearing what Jiayu said, Wulan remembered that the fake totem on her face had been washed off by Liya. Wulan had been hiding from Monk for so many years, and she was even more estranged from Monk's brothers. Although she knew that Wuna was following Jiayu, she had never said thank you properly for so many years.

Wu Lan waved to Wu Na and Meng Xianyu, asking them to come over.

Jiayu: "Amon...Ake, let's go out and let them talk!"

Wu Lan: "No need. I won't hide from you anymore. Let the past be the past! I've been hiding for nearly twenty years. That's enough!"

Monk brought a stool for Jiayu and the two of them sat not far away.

Wulan: "Wuna, Ali didn't mean to hide it from you. Liya is angry with me now, blaming me for hiding it from her. Are you also angry with Ali?"

Wu Na: “No”

Wulan: "You're not angry when you see Ali's face?"

Meng Xianyu: "Why are you angry?"

Wulan: "Because I lied to them!"

Meng Xianyu: "Aunt Wulan, you look exactly like Wu Na!"

Wulan: “Exactly the same?”

Jiayu: "In recent years, Wu Na has come back less and less frequently, and you haven't had a good chat, so it's normal that you don't know."

Ulan: “What should I know?”

Jiayu: "You are so confused! Wu Na, show your face to Ali"

Wu Na: “Yes”

Wu Na reached out and took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face like a porcelain doll.

There was a hint of doubt in Monk's eyes, but he hid it well.

Wu Lan put his hand on Wu Na's face, his eyes full of confusion.

Wulan: "How could it be? Who else knows?"

Jiayu: "Ger and I are the only ones who know. Even the Saint Lady has kept it a secret."

Wulan: "Can Gelu be trusted?"

Jiayu: "Gele has never seen your appearance. Wuna is still young. He only knows that Wuna has not had an illness in recent years. He doesn't know anything else."

Meng Xianyu stretched out her little hand and said weakly, "I know that too."

Wu Lan: "What should we do? Why don't we let Xianyu take Wu Na away?"

Monk: “No”

Wulan: "Why? Why can't you leave?"

Jiayu: "Wulan, have you noticed that Yixi's child is not sick either?"

Wulan: "Yesi, yes, where is Yesi?"

Wu Na: "Ali, Yixi is safe now. He drank some tranquilizers and just fell asleep."

Ulan: “Okay”

Monk: "Normally, this shouldn't happen to your and Muren's children. Wu Na should be like her eldest and second brothers."

Ulan: “I don’t know”

Jiayu: "If you don't want to tell me, then I will. You two have been at odds for these years, and neither of you is willing to look into what happened back then. Since you don't want to, I'll do the research for you when I'm bored."

Monk: "What happened back then?"

Wulan: “Nothing to say”

Jiayu: "It doesn't matter when we can sit together like this and talk calmly next time."

Monk: "You can't do that in front of the younger generation either."

Jiayu: "Wuna has the right to know, Xianyu is a girl who knows clearly."

Wu Lan: "After so many years, why bring it up again?"

Jiayu: "I have already found out everything, but I have never said it out. But Wulan, you are going to die soon, don't you want to know the truth of that year?"

Wu Na: "How come?"

Meng Xianyu tugged at Wu Na, motioning her to look at Jia Yu. Jia Yu secretly made a gesture at an angle that Wu Lan couldn't see.

Wulan: "Well, if I die, you can help me take care of these children."

Jiayu: “Don’t worry.”

Wulan: "Go ahead! I'm ready"

Jiayu: "When you guys got into trouble, I happened to be in seclusion for cultivation, and I didn't come out until a month later. When I came out, the matter was already a foregone conclusion. I tried to communicate with you three, but you all shut me out."

Monk: “Get to the point”

Jiayu: "Back then, Wulan, you and Amon were a couple. But one day, someone saw you coming out of Muren's house in disheveled clothes early in the morning? And Amon was locked up in the dungeon of the Saint's Temple that night! Aruna was not a saint at that time, she was just one of the ten candidates for saints. She falsely accused Amon of peeping at her bathing and changing clothes. Amon was locked up in the Saint's Temple for ten days, and the story about you and Muren was spreading all over the village. Wulan, where were you during those ten days?"

Wulan: “Going up the mountain to collect herbs”

Jiayu: "That's exactly what you said at the time, and you really did come back from the mountain. But you were arrested as soon as you came down the mountain. No one listened to your explanation, and they tied you up and wanted to burn you to death. At this time, Muren came out and said he wanted to marry you, and you agreed. When Amon came back, he happened to see Muren kneeling in front of you, and you also admitted in person that you would marry him. So Wulan, you still don't want to talk about what happened in those ten days?"

Wulan: "Nothing, I did go up the mountain, but I was injured and slept for a few days. When I felt better, I wanted to go down the mountain, but I fell into a trap again. I finally climbed out, but when I came back, I was caught."

Jiayu: "Why don't you tell me how you got hurt?"

Wulan: “Nothing to say”

Jiayu: "Then tell me! Amon, it was you, Ali, who didn't like your relationship with Wulan and asked Wulan to leave you. Wulan refused. So you, Ali, teamed up with Aruna to trick you into the Saint Maiden Temple and locked you up. Then you drugged Muren, knocked Wulan unconscious and threw her on Muren's bed..."

Monk: "Shut up! Stop talking!"

Jiayu: "No! Muren is your brother, how could he ruin your woman! So he ruined himself! He didn't bully Wulan!"

Wulan's tears flowed freely. Some things are better left unseen.

Wulan: "Yes, Muren would rather hurt himself than hurt me, so there is nothing wrong with marrying him. Fortunately, God has mercy on Muren, and he met a miracle doctor who cured him. I can also give birth to a child for him, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness."

Jiayu: "You are wrong! Muren is not well"

Wulan: "Impossible, Wuna and Yixi are his children!"

Jiayu: “It’s not his”

Ulan: "No! You lied to me!"

Jiayu: "I have asked someone to invite Muren, he should be here soon."

Wulan: "I have never done anything to let Muren down! Even you believed those rumors?"

Jiayu: "I can only tell you that these are what I have found out bit by bit over the years."

Monk: "Keep talking"

Wulan: "Do you believe them too?"

Jiayu: "That day you ran away from Muren's house, and Muren went to find my master, but even my master couldn't save him. After you went up the mountain, the people who chased you were wearing the clothes of Amon's men. He was not the high priest at that time, so he was just a holy son, and he didn't have many men. Those who pretended to be his men said that you betrayed their boss and shot you with poison arrows. Fortunately, you were familiar with the mountain road and escaped. You were lucky to survive. You fell into a trap when you came back, and those were also set by them. They were all Amon Ta'ali's men. I used the secret method of soul searching to forcefully see this scene."

Wulan: "Are you crazy? One secret soul search will reduce your lifespan by ten years!"

Jiayu: "Ten years is ten years, but it's a pity that I can't use it again within ten years!"

At this time, a man pushed the door open. It was Wulan's husband Muren.

Muren: "Let me tell you the rest!"
