The grass in the factory should be plucked

Chapter 333 Secret

Compared with the vibrant south, the northern region is already barren.

Late autumn should be a harvest season, but this ancient village is shrouded in the shadow of drought.

The fields, which should have been colorful, are now bleak and desolate.

The cracked land was gaping, and the small river beside the village had dried up, leaving only a riverbed covered with silt and gravel.

In the village, there is no more smoke rising from the roofs of every household, instead there is a dead silence.

The villagers' faces were filled with fatigue and worry. Looking at this hopeless land, their eyes were filled with helplessness and despair.

The rice jar at home has long been empty, and the relief grain distributed by the government is almost gone. When will this life of having no food to eat end?

At the Liu family in the east of the village, the wife of the Liu family was putting the last handful of dried vegetables into the pot. She then took out the last piece of wheat cake from the grain bag, made up her mind, broke it in half and put it into the pot. She then poured some water from the clay pot, lit a fire and started to cook.

The head of the family and his two sons went to help the government repair the river. Every day they could exchange their "work points" for relief food and drinking water. Although they could not fill their stomachs, at least they would not starve to death.

Madam Liu quickly cooked a pot of dried vegetable porridge, turned off the fire, and went into the bedroom.

Although her life was hard, she felt very motivated because she had a secret that she could not share with anyone!

Madam Liu pulled out a box from under the bed and carefully took out a worn bronze mirror. She fixed her hair in front of the mirror, then placed the mirror on the kang table and kowtowed three times respectfully.

"This believer respectfully invites the ancestor, the Qinglian ancestor, to come to the mortal world!"

After saying that, she stared at the bronze mirror closely, and soon, a cloud of mist rose in the mirror!

The mist gradually dissipated, and a graceful man in black appeared in the mirror. He was handsome and elegant, like an orchid and a jade tree, which dazzled Lady Liu.

Isn’t it Nangong Xihe who was parasitized by the soul-sucking worm?

"Madam Liu, what do you want today?"

The Qinglian Patriarch smiled slightly, his voice was clear and melodious, and it sounded like the sound of heaven to Lady Liu's ears.

She is also a devout believer of the Qinglian Sect. When the Qinglian Patriarch appeared in the mirror, she was one of the believers present.

After witnessing the "miracle" with her own eyes, Madam Liu was shocked and became more determined to follow the "Green Lotus Ancestor" devoutly.

After the Qinglian Sect was banned, Liu Niangzi, as a staunch believer, naturally did not believe the court's rhetoric.

What rebellious king? The Qinglian Patriarch who can show his spirit in the mirror is clearly a god!

Before the core disciples of the Qinglian Sect were wanted, they secretly distributed a batch of bronze mirrors to the most devout believers.

"Pray sincerely in front of the bronze mirror, and the Qinglian Patriarch will appear."

Madam Liu felt like she had found a treasure. When no one was at home, she would often quietly take out the bronze mirror and pray devoutly.

Perhaps her piety finally moved the Qinglian Patriarch, and he finally appeared in the mirror!

"Disciple, Zhang from the Liu family... kowtow, kowtow to the ancestor!" Madam Liu was so excited that she stuttered and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Madam Liu? I appreciate your piety and came to see you. You have worked hard!"

The old ancestor's voice was clear and his tone was gentle, which made Madam Liu intoxicated.

"Grandfather, I don't believe a word the government says. I," said Madam Liu excitedly, "I am willing to follow you till death!"

Patriarch Qinglian seemed very satisfied. He expressed his consolation for a few words and then disappeared from the mirror.

Madam Liu was like a possessed person. Every day when her husband and son were out, she would take out the bronze mirror and pray to the Green Lotus Patriarch to appear.

As time went on, she became more and more demanding and even asked to see the true appearance of the Qinglian Patriarch.

It just so happened that Nangong Xihe didn't want to deal with the fog anymore. The secret room was filled with smoke every day, which was choking people.

He simply took advantage of the situation and revealed his true face in the mirror, which made Miss Liu fall in love with him.

As a peasant woman in the village, when had she ever seen such a beautiful person, as elegant as a jade tree, or as gentle as the breeze and bright as the moon?

What's more, he spoke softly and kindly, and consoled her earnestly, so Madam Liu wanted to give her heart to him!

When the ancestor asked her what she wanted, Lady Liu sighed, "The relief food distributed by the government is getting less and less every day. If the relief food is all distributed, won't we starve to death? Can you show your divine power and make it rain?"

The Qinglian Patriarch sighed softly, "It's not that I don't want to, but I just can't. As long as that evil woman is not eliminated, the heavens will be angry and the drought will become more and more serious."

"Ah?" Madam Liu cried, "Grandfather, please save my family!"

Patriarch Qinglian lowered his eyes and said, "The government will soon receive a new batch of disaster relief food called cassava, which has a very high yield."

Madam Liu was overjoyed: "Really? Thanks to the old ancestor, we are saved!"

"Seeing your piety, I will give you a piece of advice."

Madam Liu was surprised and said nervously: "Please give me some advice, ancestor."

"Cassava is poisonous, do not eat it."

"what……"

Madam Liu was shocked and was about to ask what was going on, but the figure in the mirror had disappeared.

Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.

In the underground secret room, Nangong Xihe's face was distorted, and he turned the bronze mirror in front of him upside down on the table.

This stupid and ugly peasant woman almost made him vomit!

"Hahahaha, I can't believe that the dignified King Qi would actually sell out his body!"

Chu Feixue, who was sitting cross-legged beside him, had a gloating smile on her face.

Nangong Xihe showed a grim smile on his face: "It's your turn."

Chu Feixue was unable to move immediately.

A golden shadow flew out from above Nangong Xihe's head and penetrated into Chu Feixue's forehead like lightning.

Nangong Xihe's body suddenly collapsed to the ground, his eyes dull.

Chu Feixue stood up with an evil smile on her face. The one controlling her body at the moment was the soul-sucking insect!

The soul-sucking insect cannot just possess anyone. Even if it is a severely injured soul, it is a burden that the soul of a mortal cannot bear.

The carrier it needs is either a person with dragon energy, or a person like Chu Feixue, whose body has been transformed to be immune to all poisons.

Only if it can resist all poisons in the world can it carry the spirit of it or its incarnation.

The same is true for the Gu King, which is why he can be Xiao Jin's host, and the Saint Girl is the next host.

Chu Feixue once asked aggrievedly, if that was the case, why didn’t they choose her as the host?

The soul-sucking insect laughed strangely: "Do you have offspring? Your father only gave birth to you and chose you as his host. Where can I find someone to prolong my life?"

The reason why he chose Nangong Xihe was, of course, because the Nangong family was focused on expanding its branches and leaves, and only by having endless descendants could they continue to prolong his life.

Of course, a body as immune to all poisons as Chu Feixue's can still be used as a "backup".

Chu Feixue was the one who took action to seduce the male believers.

Chu Feixue, whose body was controlled by the soul-sucking insect, changed into a half-covering gauze dress and stood up the bronze mirror on the table.

The bronze mirrors distributed by the core disciples of the Qinglian Sect to the believers all have the imprint of its soul. As long as the other party's belief is strong, it can trigger the bronze mirror on the soul-catching insect's side, thereby making the "Qinglian Fairy" and "Qinglian Ancestor" appear in the mirror.
