Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 79 Ordinary People
"Host!"
Hearing the noise, everyone on the bridge turned around and looked behind them. A young Taoist priest trotted over to the wooden bridge. He took two breaths and said, "The Lingguan Temple is on fire!"
"What?" asked Taoist Qingyang.
"First, the statue of Wang Lingguan suddenly caught fire. We tried to put out the fire, but black smoke came out of the statue..."
"Master, please go and take a look." Jiang You said.
"Okay, you guys be careful too." Taoist Qingyang walked forward.
…
Sun Xiu and Hong Kang stood on the mountainside above and watched Jiang You and his group on the wooden bridge. After seeing Taoist Qingyang leaving with the young Taoist priest, Hong Kang was about to raise his hand but Sun Xiu stopped him.
Sun Xiu said, "Zhuang Zekun is not here, what are you planning to do?"
Hong Kang lowered his eyes and said, "Boss Sun, it was you who said we should fight for the initiative."
"Take the initiative, don't commit suicide."
…
More than twenty minutes later.
Jiang You and his group walked into the small building.
Zhuang Zekun and Guan Nuo came over and Zhuang Zekun asked, "Did you have a good journey?"
"We encountered an attack on the way, and Zhong Yan blocked it." Tang Butian handed Huang Juan in her hand to Zhuang Zekun, "She's not quite right. I'll leave her to you."
"Are you okay?" Guan Nuo asked.
"fine."
Zhuang Zekun reached out and hugged Huang Juan. He said, "After I received the news, I notified Wangshu and the others to rush over for support."
"The Lingguan Temple is on fire." said Tang Butian.
"Master Qingyang has gone to deal with it," Jiang You put Jiang Mo down and found a chair to sit down. "It's raining, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Zhuang Zekun nodded. He looked at the Taoists who had led the way and pushed the carts and said, "Let's settle them first."
After saying that, he held Huang Juan in his arms, and the Taoists held Shu Xing down, and they walked towards the basement.
Tang Butian followed.
Sun Yu also sat down holding Zhao Cai.
Jiang You yawned, looked at Guan Nuo and asked, "How many days have you been here?"
"Two days, three days." Guan Nuo counted the days.
"Is there any breakfast here?" Jiang You asked.
"Yes, there is."
"What time is breakfast?"
"Seven o'clock."
Jiang You glanced at the time. "It's almost four o'clock. There are still more than three hours. What is available for breakfast here?"
"Porridge and steamed buns."
"White porridge with a salted duck egg and a meat bun."
“There are only vegetarian options here.”
"Oh..." Jiang You sighed, he looked up at Guan Nuo, "Then you must be bored here, the signal here is not good either."
"Uncle Zhuang taught me a lot of fighting skills."
"That's good."
The Taoists filed out of the basement one after another. After the leading Taoist said goodbye to them, they walked out of the door of the small building.
After the door closed, Jiang You stood up and walked towards the stairs to the basement.
"Where are you going?" Guan Nuo called out to Jiang You.
"Why, I can't go down?"
"no……"
Jiang You said to Sun Yu, "Please help me look after Xiao Mo."
"OK."
Guan Nuo watched Jiang You walk down the stairs, and after thinking about it, he followed him.
…
"Xiao Juan."
Zhuang Zekun called out softly.
Huang Juan blinked.
The person in front of me went from blurry to clear.
This face...
Uncle Hu placed two photos in front of her, one was Uncle Liu, and the other was him, Zhuang Zekun.
——He lied to you and your brother.
She shrank back.
"It's me, Uncle Liu."
Huang Juan turned her head and avoided Zhuang Zekun's sight.
"Your brother has always wanted to take you away from Jinghu Society, and so have I. Now that you are out, you have the opportunity to be an ordinary person, live an ordinary life, and go anywhere you want..."
Zhuang Zekun saw the sarcastic smile on Huang Juan's lips.
"I will cure you, as long as you put..."
——He has been lying to you.
——He is the same as me.
…
Jiang You walked over to Tang Butian and pointed at the door. "Are they in there?"
Tang Butian nodded slightly.
"You'll follow me later, okay?"
Tang Butian turned and looked at Jiang You.
"I promised you before..."
They heard footsteps.
Then, Tang Butian saw Guan Nuo coming over.
Jiang You took a small step to the side and said, "I want to go and talk to another person, Shu Xing. Chief, can you come in?"
"Okay." Tang Butian said.
She took Jiang You to the next door, and after confirming her spiritual power fluctuations and authority, the door opened.
Shu Xing sat on the ground.
Her eyes and expression were numb and indifferent.
Jiang You walked up to her and squatted down. "This is the second time we meet. I was in such a hurry last time that I didn't introduce myself. I'm Jiang You. I brought back the black stone from last time. It looks really nice in my little pond, but it's a little dull. Do you know where I can find a similar stone?"
Shu Xing pursed his lips tightly.
"Is it in the yard?"
"I remember Huang Hu also had a similar ring," Jiang You thought for a moment, "but it was broken. When he died, his entire body was broken into pieces. It's a pity. The same happened to Lei Yao."
After hearing the name Lei Yao, Shu Xing's eyes changed slightly.
"I gave her a chance and let her go, but she refused to do so and ended up dying in Xueshan Lake. It's quite poetic, isn't it?"
"Did she visit you before she died?" Shu Xing asked.
"Yes, I answered your question, it's only fair that you answer mine too, where can I find a similar stone?"
Shu Xing suddenly raised her head. She looked at Guan Nuo and Tang Butian standing by the door. Finally, she stared at Guan Nuo's face and asked, "Are you Sang Xu's son?"
"Yes, I am." Guan Nuo admitted.
In the alley, the person who tried to kill her was Sun Xiu.
Lei Yao is Sun Xiu's man.
Before Huang Hu's death, Lei Yao had contact with the Special Operations Department and...
Shu Xing looked into Guan Nuo's eyes and said word by word: "Seventeen years ago, the person who ordered the killing of Sang Xu was Sun Xiu."
…
"Uncle Liu."
Huang Juan spoke.
"Xiaojuan, go ahead."
"It's not me who wants me to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life. It's my brother," she licked her cracked lips. "I don't know what ordinary people are like, but my brother's wish is my wish."
"You can now..."
"If he dies, there's no point."
"How can it be meaningless? You can take his share and live on."
"I'm afraid of pain. There were several times when I felt so much pain that I wanted to die. If I died, I wouldn't feel any pain. But I can't die. As long as I'm alive and I'm a goddess, my brother will have an extra layer of security. I think this is great, but he died. I don't hate Master Hu, and I don't hate you either. I hate myself. Why didn't I figure it out earlier? I just wanted to be a goddess happily. What birthday, what ordinary person..."
Huang Juan looked at Zhuang Zekun and said, "It snowed so heavily that day."
Zhuang Zekun suddenly felt a little cold.
