Although Zhao Ling'er was young, she was very thoughtful. Therefore, after she flew to the Nanzhao Kingdom alone, she was not in a hurry to reveal her identity directly or go to the palace to question her biological father, the Witch King, face to face. It was a person who concealed his identity and quietly traveled around Nanzhao and investigated.
However, at the beginning, her visit and investigation did not go well.
Because she was poorly prepared and had no experience in going out at all, and she did not understand the sinister nature of people's hearts. In addition, Nanzhao Kingdom had been run by the Moon Worshiping Cult for many years, and the people had been brainwashed for a long time. She was so reckless and asked random people, so she was sure It didn't work, and he almost didn't get caught by the spies who thought he was Bai Miao.
Fortunately, her strength was strong enough that she could ignore the hostility. Fortunately, when she, a little daughter-in-law with no experience in outside life, wandered around like a headless fly for two days and almost fell into starvation and passed out on the street, She finally met her husband Li Xiaoyao, who hurriedly came from Yuhang to look for her. Then, with the help of Li Xiaoyao, who had many tricks and pockets of money, she finally successfully completed her research activities in Nanzhao Kingdom.
However, most of the news about her mother she got in Nanzhao was unpalatable, so she didn't believe it and didn't want to believe anything, so she went to Dali with Li Xiaoyao again, to Bai Miao's territory. I asked around again.
Unlike the Nanzhao Kingdom, which believes in the Moon Worship Cult, the Bai Miao people near Dali believe in the Wuyue God Cult. In the territory of the Bai Miao people who believe in the great goddess Nuwa, the Miao people are very concerned about Zhao Ling'er's mother and Nuwa. Lin Qing'er, a descendant of the Nanzhao tribe, has a completely different kind of positive evaluation from Nanzhao?
In the end, after inquiring and confirming the two facts, and having heard Anu say a lot about his mother when he was in the sect before, Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao finally came up with a surprising conclusion after discussing it. The conclusion is:
The Witch King knew nothing about people, and was used by a treacherous man to frame his mother Lin Qing'er. He framed her as a demon who caused trouble in the country, making it difficult for her to defend herself. He sentenced her to a snake demon and sent her to prison. Her heavenly snake staff was confiscated, and even Still want to execute her?
In the end, mother Lin Qing'er was disheartened because her husband, the Witch King, did not distinguish right from wrong. In addition, the water monster caused a flood that harmed Nanzhao and caused floods. In order to save the people, she had to use up all her skills to suppress the water monster. , and then disappeared.
As the flood receded, people discovered a female statue with the head of a human and the body of a snake in the place where the flood was raging. The statue was soon welcomed back by the Bai Miao people as a statue of Nuwa and enshrined near the altar. Later, a statue was also built there. Nuwa Temple.
So, Zhao Ling'er, who secretly felt that the statue had some connection with her mother, went to the Wuyue Temple with Li Xiaoyao, and met the Holy Aunt and Anu. After informing her of her intention, the Holy Aunt motioned for Anu to take them with her. Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao went to Nuwa Temple to worship.
"Ling'er, are you really sure that the stone statue retrieved by the white seedlings is your mother?"
"I think it's better not to have too much hope. After all, it's been so many years and you still don't see people alive or dead. Maybe they will have died together with the water monster by then. How can it happen to change? He turned into a stone statue and was fished back by the white seedlings?"
Li Xiaoyao knew that sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, but he didn't want his wife to have emotional ups and downs at all, especially when the other party was still pregnant?
Therefore, while walking forward, he carefully advised the other party, hoping that the other party would have some confidence and not have too much hope.
"I think it's very possible!"
"Senior Brother Li, you don't know... that stone statue with a human head and a snake body is really lifelike, just like a real person has been petrified. Otherwise, we Bai Miao would not regard it as a statue of the great goddess Nuwa. "
"besides!"
"I heard from the Holy Aunt that the high priest disappeared during the battle with the Water Monster. After the Water Monster disappeared, the flood receded, and then the stone statue was found in the water. That was too much of a coincidence! "
Different from Li Xiaoyao's objections, Anu agrees with Zhao Ling'er and firmly believes that the lifelike statue of Nu Wa enshrined in the Nu Wa Temple is probably the incarnation of Lin Qing'er, the high priest of that year. .
"Um?"
"Senior Brother Li, what's wrong with you? Is there sand in your eyes?"
As he spoke, Anu, who didn't know why Li Xiaoyao was blinking at him frequently, and who didn't know that the other party was going to give him strange looks, asked innocently.
"..."
"It's the sand that got into the eyes, not the sand in the eyes!"
Li Xiaoyao glared at the other party angrily, and then walked directly beside Ling'er, not intending to pay attention to the junior sister who didn't know how to wink.
"Huh?"
“Is there a difference between sand in the eye and sand in the eye?”
Anu followed and retorted angrily.
"Of course there is a difference!"
"Where is it?"
"Yes!"
"Then tell me, where is it?"
"..."
"That's not what you said just now. It's true anyway. I won't be as knowledgeable as you, a little Nanban girl!"
After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiaoyao felt that there was really no difference between 'sand in the eyes' and 'sand in the eyes', so Li Xiaoyao could only say stiffly.
"You are the Nanman!"
"You wait!"
"One day when Sister Ling'er is not here, I will poison you and make you pull out your intestines!"
Seeing that Li Xiaoyao started to attack him personally when he couldn't compete with him, Anu was naturally so rude and blatantly threatened him in front of him.
"you!"
"snort!"
"I have Hongxue Powder and Five Dragon Pills on my body, how could I be afraid of you poisoning me!?"
Li Xiaoyao's heart tightened, and he hesitated a little subconsciously. However, he didn't want to be embarrassed in front of Ling'er, so he still said stubbornly.
"Hongxue Powder, Five Dragon Pills?"
"How many do you have on you?"
"a lot of!"
"I won't tell you anyway!"
"..."
"Then I won't poison you. I'll beat you directly some other time!"
"It's just you, and you beat me up?"
"Hahaha!"
"It's not that I, the Sword Immortal, look down on you, Anu, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? Your senior brother, I have just strengthened a total of 80,000 sect contribution points. That's 80,000 points. That's enough for you to farm for several years." It’s my sect’s mission, and you still want to beat me up like this?”
Obviously, Li Xiaoyao, who had learned many Wuzhuang immortal arts after strengthening, did not take Anu, a junior sister who was good at poisonous poison and witchcraft, in his eyes.
In fact, there are really not many people who can still be taken seriously by his little plum.
"Cut~!"
"Eighty thousand? That's a lot~!!"
"Senior brother, how about this? Let's go back another day and see you at the martial arts field?"
"If I can't beat you until you lie on the ground crying for mercy and calling me aunt a hundred times, I, Anu, will be a slave and maid at your disposal from now on, Li Xiaoyao!"
Anu will not tell Li Xiaoyao that she, Lin Yueru, Su Mei, Ding Xianglan, Ding Xiulan and Wang Xiaohu have not strengthened the contribution points of more than 200,000 to 300,000 points?
Therefore, she really didn't care about the other party's mere 80,000 borrowed contribution points.
But she would definitely not say that kind of thing now. She would wait to see how pitiful the other party looked when he knelt down to beg for mercy and called her aunt a hundred times.
"Am I afraid of you?"
"We'll see, when the time comes, I'll take you in as soon as I can, so don't cry!"
Although people often say that three days of absence is a sign of admiration, but three days is really too short. Li Xiaoyao did not believe that the junior sister Anu in front of him could earn 80,000 sect contributions in just a few days. Point, that kind of thing is absolutely impossible!
Therefore, he did not coerce the opponent at all, and directly accepted the duel invitation by patting his chest.
"OK!"
"You two, stop arguing now..."
"The Nuwa Temple is ahead, everyone, hurry up and leave!"
At this time, Zhao Ling'er was not in the mood to listen to the two arguing about meaningless things, so she just glared at her husband Li Xiaoyao angrily, and then urged Anu to lead the way.
"Well?"
"stop!"
At this time, several Wuyue God Sect guards in the distance saw Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er and Anu. Then the leader walked out quickly, first stretched out his hand to stop Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, and then respectfully stopped them. He said to Anu respectfully:
"Little Lord!"
"Bringing foreigners into the temple without permission is against clan rules..."
If Anu wanted to go in, they would naturally not stop him, but the other two guys, whose clothes were obviously not white, could not go in no matter what.
"Step aside!"
"Little Lord……"
"Do you want to give in or not?"
"But, the rules of the clan..."
"snort!"
"The Holy Aunt asked me to bring them here!"
"Moreover, this is Zhao Ling'er, a descendant of Nuwa's clan, and this is her husband-in-law. Can't they even enter?"
"Also, I am the daughter of the clan leader, so I have the final say in the rules here!"
"Step aside!!"
Seeing that the Wuyue God Sect guard dared to stop her, Anu scolded her fiercely after explaining the reason. She only led the two of them after the guard shrank his head and retreated to make way for him. First, he walked quickly in the direction of the altar and temple.
"It's really weird..."
"Hello!"
"Anu, is it possible that there is some treasure here? Why is it so tightly guarded?"
Walking up the steps, he saw that there were many white Miao female warriors guarding the surroundings along the way, with posts at three steps and one post at five steps. Li Xiaoyao couldn't help but curiously approached Anu, and felt a little asked strangely.
"There is no treasure!"
"No?"
"If not, why are the guards so tight?"
"It's easy!"
"Because God Nuwa is the great god that our Bai Miao people believe in, this is the most important place of our Wuyue Cult. Of course we need more guards!"
"You probably don't know yet, right?"
"There has been a drought in Miao territory in the past few years. We white Miao have fought many battles with black Miao for water. However, the temple has always been blessed by the Holy Spirit of Empress Nuwa. The springs in other places have long dried up, but here it is. There is still spring water coming out continuously, do you think we are nervous here?"
"never mind!"
"I won't tell you anymore. You people in Yuhang won't understand what drought is. Come on, the statue is right in front. Sister Ling'er, come with me."
After rolling his eyes at Li Xiaoyao and explaining a few words, Anu directly reached out and pulled Zhao Ling'er forward, towards the highest point of the temple and altar.
"!!"
"Ah! Look, Lingzi, that statue looks very familiar... No, she looks just like you!!"
Soon, when the three of them reached the highest point of the altar and clearly saw the human head and snake body, Li Xiaoyao immediately exclaimed after seeing the lifelike statue of Nuwa for the first time.
"Incredible..."
"It's really lifelike, just like a real person. It's incredible..."
"How can it be?"
After exclaiming, Li Xiaoyao muttered to himself again, and even took two steps closer, then squinted his eyes to study.
"..."
At this time, Zhao Ling'er didn't pay any attention to Li Xiaoyao's yelling. She just stared blankly at the eyes of the statue with a human head and a snake body, and then as she looked at it, tears in her eyes could not help but well up and quietly fall down.
"Mother..."
"Ling'er came to see you..."
There was no need to seek confirmation or inquiry. The moment she saw the other person's face, childhood memories kept flooding into Zhao Ling'er's mind, causing her to subconsciously say these words and walk straight to the door. The statue's heels were straight and he knelt down.
"Is she really the mother-in-law?"
"etc!"
Li Xiaoyao, who never expected that this statue was actually Ling'er's mother, exclaimed again, but what surprised him even more was:
As Ling'er knelt down crying, something really happened to the statue. Then, a female ghost holding a snake staff, wearing a cloak, and a face that looked very similar to Ling'er appeared in the clear sky and daylight. In front of the statue of the altar.
"which one……"
Fortunately, this is a temple, and fortunately the other party seems to be Ling'er's mother. Otherwise, Li Xiaoyao felt that if the place were changed, he would have to cut it with the Misty Rain Sword Technique!
'Ling'er...'
'My child, you are here at last. '
'Thank you so much. You must have suffered a lot of grievances and suffering to be able to come here, right? '
"I……"
Lin Qing'er's soul, who was about to continue speaking, suddenly stopped, and then looked at Zhao Ling'er who was kneeling in front of the altar with incredible eyes, unable to even pretend to have a solemn expression.
'wrong……'
'Ling'er, why is your spiritual power so strong? ! '
Then, the more I watched, the more horrified I felt. The more I watched, the more I felt that my daughter seemed to be a little too strong to be true. She was even so strong that her spiritual power overflowed involuntarily. Lin Qing'er's soul was more like a great god than a great god in the divine world. He immediately exclaimed.
So much so that she even forgot about the obsessions she had been waiting here for so many years and the things she wanted to say that she had been brewing for so many years.
