Chapter 889: Complicated
When Yan Kuan saw this statue, he felt that it looked extremely familiar. However, he only cared about Shen Xiaoxiao and did not have much feelings for other women.
Moreover, he naturally did not remember what Liu Yufei looked like in the past. Now that Liu Yufei had undergone plastic surgery and her face was full of scabs, he naturally did not recognize how she looked. However, he had always felt that she looked somewhat familiar.
Now that he heard Shen Xiaoxiao actually say that this deity statue was Liu Yufei’s idol, Yan Kuan was still a little surprised.
“Are you talking about the Liu Yufei after plastic surgery or before plastic surgery?”
“There’s no difference.”
“What do you mean?”
“This stone statue has been passed down for a thousand years. Even if I recognized it, I would only be able to recognize its general appearance. Moreover, I could recognize Liu Yufei’s appearance before plastic surgery even if she turned into ashes. After plastic surgery, it was actually just to raise the nose and open the corners of the eyes. Other than that, there wasn’t much of a change.
“Therefore, regardless of whether this Liu Yufei had plastic surgery or not, she is still the face of this statue.”
“Why her?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the statue thoughtfully and said faintly, “Perhaps they didn’t worship this statue, but the Suoyin flower and the Nine-Tailed Snake. It was just a coincidence that they were surrounding Liu Yufei’s body.”
Hearing that, Yan Kuan frowned. He felt that it couldn’t be a coincidence. How could something that the entire village had worshipped for a thousand years be a coincidence? It couldn’t be a coincidence either.
“Ask Ah Cai tomorrow. Wait until we get some information. Now that we know that 19 is fine, don’t worry. Have a good rest.”
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded and slowly lay down on the bed. Maybe 19 found something and didn’t come back in time to inform them. He wanted to find out what was going on but said no. Maybe 19 would come back tomorrow.
However, Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t expect to wait for so long. She waited for a few days and nights but still didn’t see 19.
After a good night’s sleep, Ah Cai cooked a meal and put it on the stove to warm it up. Speaking of which, these two children of his were really easy to take care of. They didn’t make anyone worry at all. After eating, he sat by the side and talked to Ah Tawa.
Ah Tawa and Ah Gen had already woken up. Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao began to slowly chat with them in order to get more information.
However, after this chat, they were even more certain of what the deity statue from before represented.
“Your village all worships that deity statue?”
“Yes, everyone worships that deity statue. That is our village’s Suoyin Flower Goddess.”
“Suoyin flower? Suoyin flower?”
Hearing Shen Xiaoxiao’s words, Ah Gen asked in surprise and excitement:
“An An’s mother, you also know about Suoyin flower? This is a flower unique to our village. It blooms beautifully.”
“Unique flower?”
“Yes, only our village’s Saintess can have Suoyin flower.”
“Saintess? Your village has a saintess?”
Upon hearing this, Ah Gen immediately replied:
“It means that the deity statue we worship is our saintess. It’s just that the saintess is already a thousand years old. There hasn’t been a saintess in the past thousand years.”
“Why does this saintess still need to be selected?”
“Of course. It’s very rare for a saintess to appear in a thousand years. They have the beauty of a fairy and the ability to control a Nine-Tailed Snake.”
“The Nine-Tailed Snake is also from your place? You have all kinds of rare treasures here.”
“Hahaha, An An’s mother is right. We have a lot of rare treasures here. The Nine-Tailed Snake is our clan’s spirit snake, but it has been kept in the sacred land.”
“Sacred land? Is it to protect your treasure, the Yang-Revolving Pearl?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
At this point, Ah Gen still felt honored. It seemed that this was indeed the case, but Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart was already in her throat. If the Nine-Tailed Snakes were protecting the Yang-Revolving Pearl, then 19 would be in trouble.
“What about the Suoyin flower? Is it also in the sacred land?”
“No, the Suoyin flower has disappeared. I haven’t seen it for a long time.”
“Disappeared?”
“Yes. In fact, the Suoyin flower might not be good. In the legend of our clan, it was said that the saintess was almost devoured by the Nine-Tailed Snake because of the Suoyin flower. Sigh, legend has it that at that time, the entire mountain forest was filled with Nine-Tailed Snakes. The villagers all hid in the forbidden area. Later, thanks to the help of the Golden Laurel Snake, the dispute was settled.”
“Golden Laurel Snake?”
“That’s right. Sigh, that’s why there are fewer and fewer Golden Laurel Snakes now. In the past, there were many of them, and they were the best things to nourish the body.”
“Then why is this Nine-Tailed Snake still being raised by you guys in the sacred land? Shouldn’t such things be destroyed as soon as possible?”
“Only the clan leader knows about this. We’re not too sure either.”
Hearing what Ah Gen said, Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan were silent for a long time. If that was really the case, then the Golden Laurel Snake was probably the only thing that needed to be removed from the Suoyin Flower Tear’s poison. There was also the Banxia.
“Uncle Ah Gen, have you heard of the Suoyin Flower Tears?”
“Suoyin Flower Tears? Why is this name so familiar?”
Ah Gen indeed felt that the name Suoyin Flower Tears was very familiar. Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan looked at each other and saw a pleasant surprise in each other’s eyes. Perhaps there might be some unexpected gains here.
“Oh, I remember now. Wait a moment.”
After Ah Gen said that, he took out something that looked like a leather scroll from his pocket.
Ah Gen said, “This is our family tree. Every family has it. We have to keep it with us at all times. I heard that my ancestor was also the clan leader. But it happened many years ago. Let me take a look. These are words that are unique to our village. You won’t be able to recognize them.”
As Ah Gen spoke, he carefully flipped through the words. After a long while, he saw an extremely strange line of words that looked like oracle bone inscriptions on the leather scroll:
“Here, the Suoyin Flower Tears, the essence of the Nine-Tailed Snake, and the blood of the Golden Laurel Snake. Oh, these are holy items. They can extend one’s life, but these things are nowhere to be found.”
It was a simple few words. Although Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao were a little disappointed, they could still taste something unusual from it. Although the situation here seemed to be getting more and more chaotic... However, it was not completely untraceable. Moreover, they had also noticed that the antidote for the Suoyin Flower Tears was unusual, so they were not particularly disappointed.
“Last time, Little Treasure said that you even stewed Golden Laurel Snake soup for them. This thing is so precious. Thank you very much.”
“Sigh, that snake meat was also discovered by accident ten years ago. It was marinated for a long time. The two babies fell into the water and had to be well nourished. If it was a fresh Golden Laurel Snake, the taste would be even more delicious.”
“This snake has been extinct for ten years?”
“Yeah, we haven’t found it in more than ten years.”
They hadn’t found it here, but there were traces of Golden Laurel Snakes outside. Shen Xiaoxiao had even eaten the snake gall of Golden Laurel Snakes before.
“Oh, I do have the snake gall wine of Golden Laurel Snakes at home. It’s as precious as taking them.”
