Lingxi was about to get angry, but Ling Ning stopped her. He bowed slightly to Granny Ying and said, "Ling Ning, I would like to thank senior for saving my life. If senior hadn't appeared to fight with the monster, I'm afraid not only If I die on the spot, not even the entire Ping An Village can be saved."
Grandma Ying smiled coldly but said nothing.
Ling Ning added: "Since senior is willing to protect Ping'an Village, I believe that senior is also a kind-hearted person. With your current level of cultivation, the water attribute spiritual power transformed by this child will not be of much help to senior, so why not let this child go?" A way to survive, let us take it away."
Grandma Ying said: "This child's heart has been withered. If you take him away, you will die."
Seeing that there seemed to be a change in her tone, Ling Ning hurriedly said: "Senior, don't worry, we will try our best to find a solution. This girl and I are from Shuiyuetian, this one is from Xiangzhu Mansion, and this one is from Xiangzhu Mansion. Lingbao Pavilion, you should understand that with the forces behind us, it is not impossible to find a way to save this child."
Lingxi also said: "That's right! Our Lingbao Pavilion has auction houses in the mortal world and the fairy world. What kind of heavenly materials and earthly treasures can't be found? We can definitely save this child!"
Grandma Ying was silent for a while, but finally said: "You can go, you don't have to worry about my affairs."
Qianmei'er said: "Senior, why don't you let go of your child? She is no longer of much use to you. Aren't you willing to let her go free? Do you know what it's like to be trapped in the same bed for eight years?"
No matter what she said, Grandma Ying just shook her head. Although several people were itching with hatred, considering that the girl's life was completely in her hands, they did not dare to take action easily.
Seeing that several people still refused to leave, Granny Ying finally lost her temper and issued an ultimatum with a fierce look in her eyes, "If you still don't leave, don't blame me for being rude!"
Several people didn't want to back down, so they each took a stance. If they couldn't do it, they could only use force.
When Grandma Ying saw that several people were toasting and not eating, she slowly raised her withered arms, and the aura on her body began to surge!
At this moment, I suddenly heard a little girl shouting weakly: "Mother... mother-in-law... no... don't..."
Through the dirty glass, you can vaguely see the figure of the little girl struggling to sit up safely. She seemed to feel what was about to happen, so she made a nervous sound.
Grandma Ying sighed and put down her palms, "You go, don't meddle in other people's business."
Lingxi didn't want to give up yet, "But that child..."
Po Ying's face suddenly turned ferocious, and the huge demonic power came overwhelmingly to suppress everyone!
"roll!"
Several people were shocked by her momentum and took a few steps back unconsciously.
Grandma Ying stopped looking at them and walked to the cabin on her own.
Qian Meier finally said: "Hey, old monster! Listen, if this child dies, we will cut you into pieces no matter what! Remember!"
However, Granny Ying remained silent, walked into the cabin and closed the door.
Several people had no choice but to return to Ping'an Village first.
Ling Ning had a sudden thought: "Can you tell me if we can use a formation to cut off the connection between the child and Granny Ying? This way Shi Qing will have time to eliminate the demonic power and we can kill the demon."
Xia Shiqing said: "It seems feasible, but looking at her appearance today, I'm afraid she won't leave the child again for a while."
Qianmei'er said: "I really don't know why she wants to lock up that child. It's obviously no longer useful. And with her cultivation, why would she protect a small fishing village?"
Lingxi said: "These are all questions. Have we missed anything?"
Ling Ning said: "I thought of it! That fisherman! He must know something!"
After some discussion, they decided to split into two groups. Ling Ning followed the fisherman named Wang Laosan alone, while the other girls went to the cabin to keep an eye on him. Sure enough, for the next three days, Grandma Ying refused to leave the cabin. At first, the three girls only dared to watch from a distance. Later, at Qianmeier's suggestion, they boldly came to the cabin and looked through it. Glass waved to the little girl safely.
Grandma Ying was sitting in front of the bed, turning a blind eye to the movements of the three girls. However, the little girl smiled and waved to the three girls very happily, as if she was very happy that someone came to see her.
Then the three women brought some delicacies, fresh fruits and other things they had made by themselves. They boldly opened the door and saw that Grandma Ying seemed to be in trance with her eyes closed and remained silent, so they handed the delicacies to the little girl. The little girl didn't seem to be afraid. Grandma Ying took it and started eating it with a smile on her face.
In the next few days, they simply stayed next to the cabin, keeping the little girl safe and chatting with her. They found that as long as they did not have physical contact with the girl, Granny Ying would not care about them and let them communicate.
The little girl's speech gradually became fluent. From her mouth, she learned that Grandma Ying had raised her since she was a child. Although she could not be said to be very good to her, she was also very considerate. Ling Ning also came several times, and everyone thought they could influence Po Ying to let her go, but Po Po Ying never said a word.
Ling Ning always wanted to ask Wang Laosan something, but this guy had a donkey temper and always ignored him. Until the seventh night, Wang Laosan went out alone carrying a jar of wine and a basket, and Ling Ning quickly followed.
Wang Laosan came to a cemetery, and then stopped in front of a grave where a husband and wife were buried together. There was already a person standing in front of the grave, and it turned out to be Po Ying!
Ling Ning didn't expect that she actually left the cabin, and quickly sent a message to the girls, but they didn't reply. He was worried that something would happen to Wang Laosan, and he had a vague feeling that he would gain something tonight, so he stopped waiting for the girls. He replied to the letter and came to the grave with Wang Laosan.
The weeds on the grave have been cleared away, and there is still a bouquet of small yellow and white flowers. It is winter at this time, and I don’t know where this bouquet of flowers came from.
The stone tablet is engraved with: "The tombs of husband Li Xian, wife Chen An'an, and brothers Wang Sanhu were erected on a certain day of a certain year and a certain month."
Grandma Ying didn't react at all to the appearance of the two of them, and Wang Laosan didn't seem to be surprised at all by Grandma Ying's appearance. He knelt in front of the grave and took out incense, candles, ingots, paper money and burned it. Although Ling Ning didn't know what the relationship between the person buried inside and the two of them was, she helped him burn it.
Wang Laosan glanced at him and did not refuse. After he finished burning the wine, he opened the wine jar and poured a circle in front of the grave. Then he took a big sip and handed the wine jar to Ling Ning.
Ling Ning took it and took a big sip.
Wang Laosan stared at the name on the stone tablet and said in a rough voice: "You promised me! In five years, you will only keep the female doll for five years! It is already the eighth year, why don't you let her go?"
Ling Ning was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was not talking to her.
Po Ying on the side said leisurely: "You asked me to let her go? But the child has a heart problem. If I let her go, she will die."
Grandma Ying's voice changed from the usual hoarseness to a very pleasant one. She sounded like she was only in her twenties.
Wang Laosan roared angrily, jumped up and shouted at Granny Ying: "I don't care! What's the use of talking about this now? Since you hate him, why did you save his child? It's better... it's better to let that little baby be born. It would be better to die that same day than to suffer alone and live worse than a beast!"
Grandma Ying also glared at him, but rarely retorted.
Wang Laosan said: "The village chief is afraid of you. Even the statue of Poseidon wants to please you! But I am not afraid of you! Li Er... he is my younger brother! Woohoo! He is my only relative!"
Wang Laosan cried bitterly as he spoke. He knelt in front of the grave and beat his chest desperately, "It's useless for me! I can't protect you, and I can't avenge your family. I can't even take care of the little baby! I...I will die. Forget it!"
Grandma Ying was silent, and Ling Ning quickly stepped forward to comfort Wang Laosan.
Wang Laosan said: "Brother, don't you want to know what happened? Okay! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
After Wang Laosan's narration, Ling Ning finally understood what happened.
It turns out that Wang Laosan and Li Er in his mouth are biological brothers. Because the Li family was too poor, they adopted their first son to the neighbor Wang family, that is, Wang Laosan. His real name is Wang Sanhu. The second son of the Li family is Li Er, whose real name is Li Xian. The two brothers are five years apart. Although they live in different families, they grew up together and have a deep relationship.
Twenty years ago, when Li Xian was fifteen years old, one day he happily caught a fish. Although the fish had the body of a fish, it had bird wings and sounded like a mandarin duck. The elders in the village all said the name of the fish after seeing it. For Yingyu, wherever it appears, it means there will be floods there, so he is advised to throw it away as soon as possible. But Li Xian didn't think so. He only thought that the people in the village were jealous and raised him despite their opposition.
As the days passed, Li Xian and Ying Yu faced each other day and night, often talking alone in front of the fish tank in a daze. As time went on, they became increasingly thinner, and they often couldn't get up even after three poles a day. Rumors gradually spread in the village, saying that they had seen a beautiful woman appear in Li Xian's room at night, and the two were cuddling with each other... The villagers said that he was bewitched by monsters. This matter became more and more serious, and Wang Sanhu also He began to suspect that his younger brother was possessed by evil spirits, so he invited a Taoist priest to see him.
Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest shouted something ominous when he saw Ying Yu and asked Li Xian to release him as soon as possible, but Li Xian still persisted in his obsession and even fought with his own brother for this reason. The two elders of the Li family were not in good health to begin with, but they passed away in a fit of anger. This confirmed the ominous rumor that a goblin was causing trouble in the Li family.
Wang Sanhu originally wanted to ask the Taoist priest to get rid of Ying Yu, but a few days later he was found drowned in the sea. Even the few villagers who spread the rumors were accidentally drowned in the sea. You must know that it is understandable that the Taoist priest drowned in the sea, but the fishermen work at sea every day, how could they drown for no reason? Now the villagers were even more panic-stricken and no longer dared to approach the Li family.
Wang Sanhu also had lingering fears, but Li Xian was his biological brother after all. One day he drank a bottle of wine and plucked up the courage to break into Li Xian's house and cursed at Ying Yu. The more he cursed, the sadder he became, and finally he knelt down crying. He fell to the ground and begged Ying Yu to let his poor brother go.
That Ying Yu actually spoke, she said: "Li Er and I truly love each other. Since you think I'm a demon, then I will cultivate my human form and come back to renew my relationship with him! Li Lang, let's meet him ten years later goodbye!"
After saying that, the winning fish flew away!
Li Xian was naturally reluctant to give up. He cried and fussed for three days before he finally gave up. Wang Sanhu secretly called it a fluke, knowing that both he and Li Xian had saved their lives. The days that followed finally returned to calm. Li Xian also realized that he had been tricked by a monster and no longer thought about Ying Yu. However, everyone in the village knew what happened to him, but no woman dared to marry him.
Five years later, monsters broke out along the coast. At this time, a brother and sister named Chen happened to come to their village. The older brother had a cold face and was unwilling to help the villagers, and even left. On the contrary, the younger sister stayed voluntarily and worked hard to calm down the monsters in the village. It was also at this time that Li Xian met this fairy-like figure and fell in love with her. But there was a huge difference in status between the two, and even if he was tempted, he knew he was not worthy.
After the girl surnamed Chen left, the village chief Li Youfu built a "Poseidon Empress" in the girl's likeness in order to establish a relationship with the disciples of the sect, so that the girl could continue to protect the village in the future.
Just like this, another five years passed. Wang Sanhu still remembered the ten-year agreement before Ying Yu left. Unexpectedly, it was not Ying Yu who came back first, but the girl named Chen, that is, Chen An'an on the stone tablet. She returned in despair. Peaceful Village. Li Xian was naturally overjoyed and greeted her. Although many young people in the village were pursuing this fairy-like beautiful girl at that time, Li Xian suddenly announced that the two had been secretly connected since the girl first came here, and even She had already secretly conceived his child, which made all the young people in the village give up.
With the village chief's deliberate matchmaking, the two actually got married!
The next winter, also at this time today, Yingyu came back! When she saw that Li Xian had married a wife and that his wife was about to give birth, she couldn't help but burst into anger. Her crazy jealousy made her set off a tsunami that engulfed the village!
Unexpectedly, Chen Anan actually gave birth in the water. The begging of Li Xian and his wife before they died finally made Ying Yu feel a little compassionate. She took back the water and even adopted the child. Chen Anan provided for the child before she died. He was named Ping An, probably because he hoped that the child would grow up in peace.
After the flood receded, the village chief built a new village not far away. He was afraid of Ying Yu's revenge, so he wanted to build a "Poseidon Goddess" statue in the image of Ying Yu, but Wang Sanhu insisted on refusing to agree, so he insisted on death. Then he took a step back and just added a pair of fish wings. The village chief's intention was obvious. He didn't want Yingyu to attack the village again. In this way, he told her that Ping An Village had surrendered and even longed for its protection. Sure enough, Yingyu stopped attacking Ping An Village from then on, and even started guarding it secretly for some unknown reason.
Wang Laosan spoke intermittently, and Ling Ning finally understood the whole story after repeated questioning.
Ling Ning couldn't help but said: "You have been away for ten years. Even if Li Xian changes his mind, it should be excusable. If you don't spare him, why bother the whole village?"
Po Ying said angrily: "He deserves to die if he changes his mind! And... and he also gave our love token to that bitch! You know when I came back to him with joy, I saw that bitch wearing the token I gave to him. His concentric knot, don’t you know how uncomfortable I feel in my heart? Yes, I want the whole village to be buried with him! I want them to repent! I want to torture their daughters! This is the price for abandoning me! Hahaha Ha ha!"
Po Ying looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, then spread her wings and flew away.
But Ling Ning noticed two lines of clear tears quietly falling from the corners of her eyes.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Ask the world, what is love? It teaches you how to make love between life and death."
