Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 46 This is your grandson
Deacon Cai pushed the door open with a look of grief and indignation, and took a look.
On the old bed, there lay a woman with a face as pale as gold paper, her breath was weak and the light in her eyes was dim.
Standing by and taking care of the woman was a very young man who looked no more than twenty years old.
At this moment, they saw their door was suddenly pushed open and a strange old man came in. Both of them looked at Deacon Cai with some surprise and vigilance.
"Who are you ? Why did you break into my house?" the boy asked.
Deacon Cai’s face froze.
Because the weak woman lying on the bed, with a pale face and a bit of worry, was not his Taoist partner Si Yun.
Deacon Cai turned around and looked at Lu Qingshan, who had just followed in after sending away the yellow-clothed cultivator.
His eyes were full of questioning.
Lu Qingshan didn't quite understand the details.
But with just a glance at the appearance of the woman on the bed and the young man, Lu Qingshan roughly guessed the specific situation.
So facing the questioning look in Deacon Cai's eyes, Lu Qingshan was not in a hurry to explain.
Lu Qingshan pointed at Deacon Cai and politely asked the woman on the bed, "I'm sorry to bother you so abruptly. This is Si Yun's family member. I wonder if you two know Si Yun..."
The woman on the bed heard this and struggled to get up from the bed.
Cai Xingchao, who was standing by, quickly supported his mother and said, "Mom, be careful!"
"My name is Shi Youling. I wonder what the relationship is between this senior and my mother-in-law?"
"Mother-in-law?" Deacon Cai was stunned.
Lu Qingshan understood, pointed at Cai Xingchao who was standing aside and looked dazed, and said to Deacon Cai: "This is your grandson."
…
The life span of a cultivator who has established his foundation is 200 years. Deacon Cai, who has established his foundation, is nearing his death. His fellow cultivator has not established his foundation either, so how could he possibly live to this day?
Many years ago, Si Yun died of old age.
The child that Si Yun was pregnant with when she lived in seclusion in Ziyang Town was Cai Xingchao's father.
So much time has passed since those days that Deacon Cai's son has grown up, started a family, married and had children.
This Shi Youling is the Taoist partner of Deacon Cai’s son, and also Deacon Cai’s daughter-in-law.
Those who are involved are often confused.
Deacon Cai was so anxious that he didn't react for a while.
But he was a shrewd man, and after hearing what Lu Qingshan said, he immediately understood the whole matter.
"This is your mother-in-law's Taoist partner." Lu Qingshan looked at Shi Youling and explained.
Shi Youling was shocked. Although she had already had this guess, her heart was still in turmoil after getting the confirmation.
Her mother-in-law came to Ziyang Town when she was pregnant, and later worked hard to raise her husband.
She has always had some respect for her mother-in-law.
But according to the husband, every time he asked his mother-in-law who his father was, his mother-in-law said that his father had died at the hands of a monster long ago.
Now, the father-in-law who died at the mouth of a monster as described by her mother-in-law suddenly appeared again, and Shi Youling couldn't help but be shocked.
But Shi Youling believed what Lu Qingshan said.
In order to suppress the venom of the red pearl snake in her body, their family is now penniless. What good is there in pretending to be her father-in-law?
"Do you have any token that can be used to prove your identity?" Lu Qingshan asked.
When it comes to recognizing one's relatives, even if one has already believed 70% to 80% of the truth in one's heart, how can one miss the most important step of recognition - exchanging tokens of friendship?
Shi Youling reacted quickly and immediately pulled Cai Xingchao's hand and lifted his sleeve.
On Cai Xingchao's wrist was a crystal clear, moist, deep and exquisite jade bracelet: "This is a jade bracelet magic weapon left by my mother-in-law..."
Deacon Cai's eyes were red: "Yun'er..."
Deacon Cai slowly stretched out his left hand and rolled up his sleeves. On his dry wrist was a similar jade bracelet magic weapon.
This was their original token of love.
Everything is clear.
Shi Youling hurriedly bowed to Deacon Cai with all her strength: "Father-in-law..."
Seeing Cai Xingchao looking dumbfounded, Shi Youling pulled Cai Xingchao's sleeve and said, "This is your grandfather... why don't you come and meet your grandfather?"
Cai Xingchao had a dazed look on his face. Under Shi Youling's urging, he struggled to squeeze out the word "grandfather" from his mouth like a puppet.
Deacon Cai looked at Cai Xingchao's face, which was somewhat similar to his own when he was young. He raised his arm and reached forward . His hands were trembling, and it took him several tries to touch Cai Xingchao's hand.
"Good children, good children...I am sorry for you..." The old Deacon Cai held Cai Xingchao's hand tightly with his rough palm, and finally couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.
He, Cai Heng, is affiliated with the Zhenjiang City [Zhenfu Division], and is responsible for supervising and suppressing monks who violate Daxia's ban with iron-blooded means.
However, because of his duties, he caused the destruction of his fellow Taoist family.
This is a painful memory that can never be erased from his heart.
Looking at Cai Xingchao in front of him, his eyes were full of pity and guilt. He opened his mouth to say something, but his chest was heaving and he couldn't speak.
"Grandpa, can you save my mother?" Cai Xingchao suddenly thought of something, and his eyes were full of pleading and expectation when he looked at Deacon Cai.
"It's just a little red pearl snake venom, how difficult is it to cure!" At this moment, Deacon Cai's tone revealed a bit of high spirits, "Come back to Zhenjiang City with me, I will definitely cure your mother's poison."
The Crimson Pearl Snake is a first-class demon beast with extremely strong poison.
If a Qi-refining cultivator is poisoned by the crimson pearl snake, he can only rely on elixirs to barely suppress the snake venom. It is very difficult to completely eliminate the poison!
But for Deacon Cai, with his current cultivation and status, detoxifying the poison, although not easy, is indeed not a difficult task.
…
The most urgent task was to detoxify and heal Master Youling's injuries, so Deacon Cai acted very quickly.
"What is this?!" Cai Xingchao supported his mother and felt a little panicked as he looked at the huge monster in front of him that exuded a ferocious aura.
"This is Grandpa's pet demon, the Black Feather Eagle. Help your mother get up there. We will rush back to Zhenjiang City to detoxify and heal her."
[Black-feathered Eagle] is huge in size, and carrying four people does not affect its flying speed at all.
Without much delay, the group quickly returned to Zhenjiang City.
…
Inside the study.
"How did you know about me? And Xiao Chao and his mother? Even I couldn't find any information about them. How did you find them?"
"I naturally have my own methods." Lu Qingshan looked calm and didn't want to say more about this.
——How do you explain the cheating thing?
Deacon Cai was silent for a while, then spoke again: "Since you don't want to talk, I naturally can't force you, but no matter what, you saved Xiao Chao's mother's life."
The venom of the crimson pearl snake in Shi Youling's body is already very serious. If she delays for a while, the venom will enter her heart, and even a Jindan cultivator will be powerless to save her.
It was probably because the swordsman player in the previous life completed the mission too late, so when he found Cai Xingchao, Shi Youling had already died from the snake venom that had seeped into his heart, and he only brought back Cai Xingchao.
Now that Lu Qingshan intervened, they were spared the time-consuming task of running in the ring, saving extremely critical time, and found them before the snake venom of Master Youling entered his heart.
As a result, Shi Youling's life was saved.
