Before Lu Ran could ask why the painting was like this, Xu Fu spoke first.
"Excuse me, who is the red-clothed immortal in the painting?" She stood up politely and faced Huaihuang with her fists clasped.
After Huaihuang heard this, he also stood up and looked back, "Oh, these three people are worshipers of our Jueying City. The person the fairy asked about is the first great immortal in Jueying City, and he is also a true immortal. His name is Zhong Wuqi, also known as Master Wuqi, as for the person on the right..." Huaihuang paused for a moment, seeing Xu Fu's eyes full of sincerity and expectation, and then continued: "The person on the right is the enshrinement of Jueying City The Queen of Heaven must be familiar to the fairies, she is the biological mother of the fairies, the Infinite Heavenly Lord Angry Fire Fairy Lin Youyuan."
"Lin...Lin Youyuan?"
Huaihuang was so frank that Xu Fu couldn't react in time and was stunned.
It was also the first time that she learned so much information about her mother from someone else. She even couldn't believe it, so she asked blankly: "Is... is it true? My mother's name is Lin Youyuan?"
Huaihuang was a little surprised at first, but soon understood the reason, nodded, and said: "That's indeed the name, I am the man, there is nothing else, only one thing, I will not deceive my friends, Because Master doesn’t allow it.”
As he spoke, he bowed his hands towards the portrait of the red-clothed immortal behind him.
Lu Ran remembered that the immortal's name was Zhong Wuqi, Wuqi Wuqi. It seemed that Huaihuang must have a close relationship with this immortal.
"Master Huai, I wonder if you can tell me more about my mother. I have been to Wuxian Land several times, but the people there are either unwilling to tell me, or they simply cannot tell me. Come up with something." Xu Fu still stood, her face once again showing the same sadness as that night in front of the Wuxiandi statue.
Huaihuang waved his hand and motioned for Xu Fu to sit down and talk. Then he motioned to the old woman-looking immortal next to Xu Fu to pour a glass of rice wine for Xu Fu.
Xu Fu sat down obediently, raised her head and drank the rice wine in one gulp. "Master Huai, my heart has calmed down. Please say it. Please don't take it into account. In fact, I have vaguely guessed something over the years. Xu Fang and the others in the Huanjiao family do not tell me the truth and hide it. It is probably because My mother’s death was related to their environmental education.”
Huaihuang stroked his long beard, which he couldn't tell whether it was yellow or white, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were condensed. He seemed to be thinking about where to start. After a long time, he slowly spoke, but asked Xu Fu A question to Lu Ran, "You must have noticed on the way here that this Immortal Villa is extremely heavily guarded. Even the Immortal Residence of the Two Sects does not have such security. Do you know why?"
Lu Ran and Xu Fu looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Huaihuang turned around and raised his head to look at the three paintings: "As you can see, this person, my master Zhong Wuqi, was originally a casual cultivator who had nothing to do with the world. Less than three years after becoming the great immortal, he died in an ambush. At that time, there was no such thing as a "fading immortal". The result of the immortal official's investigation was that he died due to the troubles of the Taiyi demon, but it was obviously not the case. When the master was dying, he said I died from one of the Ten Treasures of the Huan Cult, but I didn’t finish telling which one it was before my soul flew into bliss.”
"So, although your Jueying City is the Jueying City of the Huanjiao, it actually has a grudge against the Huanjiao?" Lu Ran, who had never interrupted, finally couldn't hold it back and asked.
"More than just hatred, since our master, we have gone through nine great immortals in Jueying City. Except for the one in front of you, there are five others who also died unexpectedly." Before Huaihuang could speak, he had an equally anxious personality. Madoka Mandao shook her chubby cheeks angrily and said quickly.
"So Mr. Huai wants to tell us that this Huanjiao is not a good one?" Lu Ran suddenly interjected.
Xu Fu felt warm after hearing this. Lu Ran had started to use "we" unconsciously when he spoke. He was speaking for himself.
"No, I just want to tell you that we have had a grudge against the Huanjiao for several generations. It would not be too fair for me to tell the story about Yufu Fairy's mother." Huaihuang smiled heartily and eased the atmosphere, but he Don't continue talking.
Lu Ran had no choice but to urge: "Oh, sir, please speak quickly, I'm so anxious."
Huaihuang still looked at Xu Fu meaningfully.
Xu Fu finally understood. She pointed to the sky with her right hand and said solemnly: "I, Xu Fu, swear that I will never reveal a word of what I heard or saw in this Immortal Villa tonight. Otherwise, I will be punished by having my three souls destroyed forever." Falling into eternity."
"Okay. Only with these words from the fairy can I dare to tell everything I know." Huaihuang finally got his wish, patted the table, and then ordered someone to refill the wine for the two of them.
Eighteen years later, Xu Fu finally heard a few things about her mother from an old man whom she had not seen or recognized yesterday.
"The reason why fairies can't ask questions in the Immortal Land is because as time goes by, things and people change, and no one remembers or is interested in the Queen they can see day and night when they look up. The ruthlessness of immortals is a kind of loneliness, while the ruthlessness of mortals is a kind of collective indifference, at least it will be like this when the tide of time passes. I still remember that I came here five hundred years ago. At that time, everything was waiting for improvement. Jueying City is still a small town in the southernmost part of the Eight Kingdoms. It is just a stopover where the immortals rest for three to five days on their way to Jueying Island. It has a total population of only 10,000 households. There is not even a decent restaurant in the center of the town, and there is no school. It’s only one and a half rooms.”
"I was an accountant in a pawnshop in this city, and I had no particular thoughts about cultivating immortals. One rainy day, an extremely beautiful fairy pushed in the door and said that she wanted to take shelter from the rain. I was very surprised. How could a fairy from Wei Huan Cult be soaked in the rain? But this fairy is going to live here forever, so she wants to feel the humidity and strength of the rain here. He also asked me a clueless question. She asked me what I thought of the name "Nanyang". I didn't know why she asked, so I gave a few perfunctory answers. During this period, I kept hiding behind the counter and secretly watching her. She was so beautiful, with that face, that figure, that Those slender hands, that glowing white skin..."
"Hey... now that you're old, just say what you say, and be careful with your wording." When the old woman next to Xu Fu heard this, she couldn't help it anymore and jumped out to interrupt Huaihuang's words.
Huaihuang smiled, but his expression was still intoxicated, as if he had really returned to that summer afternoon five hundred years ago. After a rain, he saw a fairy...
"The look in your eyes is so ungrateful. That's the Queen of Heaven!" Seeing Huaihuang's behavior, the old woman added angrily.
Lu Ran looked at Xu Fu's almost entranced face, a small smile blooming on her face.
