In ancient times, he became a god in the mountains.

As soon as He Jinzong finished speaking, Mother Zhao rushed in and went straight to He Wanwan's bed.

He Wanwan's face was pale, her eyes were dark, her breathing was weak, her lips were pale, and she looked as haggard as before, with no change on her face.

Suddenly, Mother Zhao saw the young lady's eyelids tremble, and there were signs that she was waking up.

She couldn't believe it, shook her head and screamed, "No! This can't be true! I clearly had the young lady's soul marry my grandson in the afterlife, and it's been more than a year, they should have been reincarnated by now, why did the young lady wake up?"

Madam He's eyes widened, her lips trembling slightly: "Nanny! You...what are you talking about?"

Mrs. He was struck by lightning. The wet nurse's words yesterday were still fresh in her mind. The wet nurse said that the master had wronged her. So what was the wet nurse doing now?

The wet nurse she trusted the most, whom she regarded as her own aunt, actually stole her daughter's soul and married a dead person in the afterlife, just as the master said.

Mrs. He couldn't believe what she heard.

"Alas!" He Jinzong sighed bitterly. He completely understood his wife's feelings at the moment: "Madam, you believe it now, it was this sinister old woman who harmed our Wanwan!"

Madam He's feet went weak, her body was shaky, and she felt dizzy. She held her forehead and cried, "Mother Zhao, why? You are my wet nurse. Wanwan regards you as her grandmother, but you let her marry a dead person. You are deliberately trying to kill her!"

Mrs. He asked in great sorrow, "Why did you do this?"

The young lady's awakening broke Zhao's heart. She cried and told the reason: "My poor grandson died young and could not enter the reincarnation. The master said that only by letting him marry his beloved in the afterlife can he get rid of the regret in his heart and reincarnate. Otherwise, he will become a lonely ghost!"

Facing this child she had raised since childhood, Mother Zhao showed a rare trace of guilt: "I had no choice but to do this. I'm sorry, madam!"

"You...you..." Mrs. He was filled with resentment. She did not expect that Mother Zhao, who had always treated her as her own daughter, would do such a shocking thing.

She was extremely worried and cried silently.

"How do you know that Miss He is about to wake up?" A mysterious and ethereal voice lingered around, and Gu Yuexi emerged from the darkness.

Even though everyone present had seen her miraculous appearance when she appeared, they were still stunned and speechless by the miraculous scene of her transformation.

"What are you?" Mother Zhao raised her voice and widened her eyes in shock. She must be old and blind, so how could she see a light and shadow appear out of thin air? This light and shadow was in the shape of a human who could speak.

Faced with this magical scene, Mother Zhao trembled. Was she the one asking the questions just now?

"This is the Golden Saint Goddess, the mountain spirit of the Golden Saint Mountains. If it weren't for the Goddess, I really wouldn't have known that there was an old woman like you with ill intentions in my family. You also caused my daughter to be in a coma for a whole year!"

He Jinzong bowed respectfully to Gu Yuexi and said, "When my daughter wakes up, I will take her to Qihuang Mountain to fulfill her vow."

"How do you know Miss He is about to wake up?"

Gu Yuexi glanced at He Jinzong, who was lifted up by spiritual power. Ignoring everyone's surprised expressions, she walked in front of Mother Zhao.

When Mother Zhao faced her, she suddenly became so nervous that she couldn't speak.

Gu Yuexi said softly: "As long as you answer my questions, I will let you see your grandson, and I can also help him reincarnate."

In order to gain her trust, Gu Yuexi said, "If I have the ability to wake up Miss He, I also have the ability to let you see your grandson Mingke!"

"My grandson? Mingke!" Mother Zhao regained her senses.

She asked excitedly: "Can you...can you really let me see my grandson?"

"I am the mountain spirit of the Golden Holy Mountain Range. Mortals call me a deity. Naturally, I have the ability to let you see the spirit of your grandson."

Gu Yuexi's words rekindled Mother Zhao's hope.

She really wanted to know how her grandson was doing now. After lingering in the world for such a long time, would he become a wandering ghost, unable to be reincarnated, as the experts said?

She took out a string of wooden beads and told the thing in front of her that claimed to be a god the whole story of how she stole He Wanwan's soul and married Ming Ke in the afterlife.

She recalled with tears in her eyes: "My grandson Mingke was weak since he was young. It happened to be a drought. He endured for two years but finally died young. After he was buried, my lady and I went to Qingchan Temple to pray to the Buddha for rain, hoping that the sky would send down rain to save the suffering people."

"That was the time I met the abbot of Qingchan Temple. He told me that my grandson refused to reincarnate if he stayed any longer in the human world. He would lose his mind and become a wandering ghost. He would then have no way of reincarnating."

"I asked the host how to solve it, and he told me that as long as I burn Mingke's favorite things for him, he will be able to put his regrets behind him and reincarnate."

"Then he told me that if he wanted my grandson to be willing to be reborn, he had to marry his beloved in the afterlife. Not only would he be reborn well, but he would also live a long life in his next life. I didn't believe what the host said."

"Who would have thought that after returning from Qingchan Temple, I dreamed of Mingke every night. In my dreams, he cried and begged me to help him. He wanted to have an affair with the young lady."

"After that, I went to Qingchan Temple to find the abbot. He gave me a string of wooden beads and asked me to drop the young lady's blood on them. He would help my grandson get his wish. He told me that if the wooden beads were intact, my grandson would be reincarnated. If the wooden beads were broken, it would prove that the ghost marriage failed and the young lady would have a chance to wake up."

"During this year, the wooden bead was intact. I thought my grandson and the young lady had been reincarnated, but it suddenly shattered just now. I guessed that the young lady might have woken up."

Gu Yuexi took the wooden bead and recognized it at a glance: "This is a locust wood bead!"

"Mortals believe in ghosts and gods. Legend has it that locust wood attracts ghosts, so few people carve locust wood into bracelets and wear them on their bodies."

"In fact, ordinary locust trees are just ordinary plants and do not have the ability to attract ghosts, but this string of beads... although it does not have the ability to attract ghosts, it has been deliberately cast by someone. If someone accidentally drops blood on the beads, the soul will be absorbed by this string of beads."

"When a mortal loses his soul, he will fall into a coma like Miss He. When the soul is reincarnated or dies unexpectedly, the body will die."

"In short," Gu Yuexi said to everyone, "This is a string of evil things!"

"This... can't be possible, madam. The abbot of Qingchan Temple is highly respected. He even took out the temple's grain to help the victims during the drought. He has a high reputation in our sixteen northwestern counties."

Luo Yousong's face was filled with shock.

He often provided relief to disaster victims and was an old acquaintance of the abbot of Qingchan Temple. In his opinion, the abbot of Qingchan Temple would never do such a sinister thing as stealing other people's souls.

"Brother Luo, you can't judge a person by his appearance. The Queen is a deity, how could what she says be false?" He Jinzong reminded.

"It's just a bit unexpected. Maybe... maybe the host is also an innocent person implicated." Luo Yousong sighed.

Gu Yuexi said: "Whether he is innocent or not, we can find out if we go and find out his true intentions."
