"No, I haven't seen Xu Shouxin since we said goodbye that year."
Hearing Zhong Liquan's questioning, the sad look on Yue Yangzi's face could not fade away for a long time.
When he was in Chang'an, considering his situation at the time, Yue Yangzi left Wannian County as soon as he recovered from his injury.
But before leaving, Yue Yangzi informed Xu Shouxin of the location of Chunyang Temple and promised that as long as the other party comes here to find him, he will definitely repay his life-saving grace.
It's a pity that fifty years have passed, but Yue Yangzi has not waited for Xu Shouxin's arrival.
Because to Xu Shouxin, Yue Yangzi was just a Taoist priest he rescued by chance, and was no different from the other ordinary people he rescued.
In fact, even if he knew Yue Yangzi's true identity, the idea of repaying a favor was never in Xu Shouxin's mind.
However, Yue Yangzi is also an extremely principled and conservative person.
Leaving one's post without permission once was Yue Yangzi's biggest rebellion and impulse in the past two hundred years.
Yue Yangzi asked himself that he couldn't do it if he wanted her to continue sneaking down the mountain without telling Zhong Liquan.
Because Chunyang Temple is the holy place in Yue Yangzi's mind, she feels that as the senior sister of Chunyang Temple, she has the obligation to set a good example for her juniors.
Of course, this statement does not actually hold true for Zhong Liquan.
There is such a thing as rebellion, there is a first time and a second time.
If Yue Yangzi really wanted to set an example for his junior brothers, he would not have secretly gone down the mountain to get involved in the cat demon case for the first time.
From the perspective of Zhong Liquan, who has experienced many human affairs, Yue Yangzi is simply afraid and looking for a reasonable excuse for his escape.
Yue Yangzi was afraid to face his own feelings, and he was afraid that Xu Shouxin would forget that he was a Taoist with whom he had only met once.
After all, although Yue Yangzi fell in love with Xu Shouxin.
But in Xu Shouxin's eyes, he just saved an ordinary Taoist priest, and this Taoist priest was also a man.
"So it wasn't until four years ago that you had the courage to go down again?"
Once again, he regretted that he cared less for Yue Yangzi. Zhongli Quan, who had been childless for the first time in his life, experienced the feeling of raising a daughter.
If he had known what Yue Yangzi was thinking, Zhongliquan would have kidnapped Xu Shouxin back to Chunyang Temple even if he was kidnapped.
"It's a pity that I went a little late."
Without hiding anything, Yue Yangzi just sighed silently.
"Xu Shouxin died more than 20 years ago, in the original 'Spirit Boy Case'."
Just as Yue Yangzi once predicted, Xu Shouxin did not get a good ending after all.
More than 20 years ago, not long after Pei Wende was born, a large-scale search for an "auspicious soul boy" caused panic in the vicinity of Chang'an.
As a connection engineer who was transferred from a government office, Xu Shouxin has witnessed too many deaths and tragedies.
Unable to bear to see those children separated from each other, he secretly hid and changed many newborns who met the conditions without telling his superiors and colleagues.
Once such things are done too much, it is naturally impossible to hide them from others.
Therefore, Xu Shouxin's final fate can be imagined, and he was directly executed on the grounds of "disobeying the holy order".
"He spent half his life catching evil people and sewing up corpses for half his life, but in the end he ended up disobeying the holy orders and having his body and head separated."
This has to be said to be a huge tragedy and the most powerful satire on the feudal emperor.
Just one thought can set off huge waves and affect the fate of countless people. This is something that even practitioners of Zhong Liquan's level cannot do.
"If his daughter hadn't collected and sewn the body for him, he might not even have a complete body in the end."
As soon as these words came out, Zhong Liquan was stunned.
"daughter?"
Zhong Liquan opened his mouth slightly in surprise. If Zhong Liquan remembered correctly, didn't Xu Shouxin say that he would never marry in this life?
Where did this daughter come from?
"Not his biological daughter, but a little girl he adopted."
Seeing through Zhong Liquan's thoughts at a glance, Yue Yangzi immediately corrected him in order to prevent him from having any more random thoughts.
"That girl was born with a 'red arrow destiny', which will defeat her father, husband, and children. She is doomed to be unlucky in her life."
"Only doing good deeds can resolve this bad luck. Once you do evil deeds, you will be plagued by bad luck."
To be honest, when he first learned about this adopted daughter, Yue Yangzi felt angry.
However, Yue Yangzhi is a qualified Taoist practitioner after all. She knows that Xu Shouxin's ending is doomed, and it has nothing to do with whether the girl defeats her father.
The fact that the other party can survive to this day shows that even if the girl entered the side sect, she did not do too many evil things after all.
On the contrary, having inherited her adoptive father Xu Shouxin's behavior philosophy, the girl still sticks to her conscience most of the time.
"Have you already met her?"
Although it was a question, Zhongli Quan knew that Yue Yangzi must have met Xu Shouxin's adopted daughter.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to know the final outcome of Xu Shouxin, let alone the details of the adopted daughter.
"I've already met her."
Nodding to confirm Zhong Liquan's guess, Yue Yangzi's eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence.
"Although that girl is different from her father, she has not fallen into evil ways after all."
"And Xu Shouxin also informed his daughter of the location of Chunyang Temple before he died."
"So once she asks for anything, she will naturally come up the mountain to find me."
Hearing this, Zhong Liquan just lightly fanned the banana fan in his hand and asked again calmly.
"Is that all?"
"Didn't you make some other arrangements?"
It has to be said that although Zhong Liquan ignored some of Yue Yangzi's little thoughts, he was still an elder who watched him grow up.
Based on Zhong Liquan's understanding of Yue Yangzi, since she knew about Xu Shouxin's adopted daughter, it was absolutely impossible for her to leave the adopted daughter alone.
"..."
Momo looked up at Zhong Liquan, and then Yue Yangzi whispered.
"I did make some other arrangements."
"Although that girl has not fallen into evil ways, her character has been somewhat affected after staying in the side sect for a long time."
"So if you want to get that girl back on the right path, you have to let her go through something."
After a slight pause, Yue Yangzi continued to explain in a low voice.
"I left some things in Lujiacun. If she is willing to change her ways, I would like to accept her as a disciple."
Seeing this situation, Zhong Liquan, who had anticipated it, did not ask any further questions.
"That girl...what's her name?"
"She changed her surname to Xu after Xu Shouxin, and her last name was Chang."
