Chapter 46
Deacon Cai pushed the door open and walked in filled with grief and anger, and took a quick look.
Lying on the old bed was a woman with a face as golden as paper, her breath was like a gossamer, and the light in her eyes was dim.
Standing aside to take care of the woman was an extremely young man, who looked to be no more than twenty.
At this time, they saw the door of their room suddenly opened, and a strange old man came in. Both of them looked at Deacon Cai with a bit of surprise and a bit of caution.
"Who are you? Why did you break into my house!" the boy asked.
Deacon Cai's face froze.
Because the weak woman lying on the bed, pale and a bit worried, was not his Taoist companion Siyun.
Deacon Cai turned to look at Lu Qingshan, who had just followed him after sending away the casual cultivators in yellow.
His eyes were full of questioning.
Lu Qingshan didn’t know much about the details.
But after glancing at the faces of the woman and the young man on the bed, Lu Qingshan roughly guessed the specific situation.
So when faced with the question in Deacon Cai's eyes, Lu Qingshan was not in a hurry to explain.
Lu Qingshan pointed at Deacon Cai and politely asked the woman on the bed: "I'm really sorry for intruding so rudely. This is Si Yun's family. I wonder if you two know Si Yun..."
After hearing this, the woman on the bed struggled to get up from the bed.
Cai Xingchao on the side quickly supported his mother: "Mom, be careful!"
"Master Youling, I wonder what the relationship is between this senior and my mother-in-law?"
"Mother-in-law?" Deacon Cai was stunned.
Lu Qingshan understood. He pointed at Cai Xingchao, who was confused and had a dull look on his face, and said to Deacon Cai, "This is your grandson."
…
A foundation-building monk has a lifespan of two hundred. Deacon Cai, who built the foundation, has already reached his end. His Taoist companion has not built the foundation, so how can he live to this time?
Si Yun had already exhausted his lifespan and passed away many years ago.
The child Si Yun conceived while living in seclusion in Ziyang Town was Cai Xingchao's father.
It has been so long since what happened back then, but Deacon Cai's son has already grown up, started a family, married a wife and had children.
This teacher Youling is the Taoist companion of Deacon Cai’s son, and is also Deacon Cai’s daughter-in-law.
The authorities are obsessed with it.
Deacon Cai was so anxious that he didn't react for a while.
But he himself is a shrewd person. After Lu Qingshan said this, he immediately figured out the key points of the matter.
"This is your mother-in-law's Taoist companion." Lu Qingshan glanced at Shi Youling and explained.
Shi Youling was shocked. Although she had already vaguely guessed this, after getting the confirmation, her heart still surged.
Her mother-in-law came to Ziyang Town when she was pregnant, and later worked hard to bring up her husband.
She has always had some respect for this mother-in-law.
But according to the husband, every time he asked his mother-in-law who his father was, her mother-in-law said that his father had died at the mouth of a monster long ago.
Now, the father-in-law who died at the mouth of a monster as her mother-in-law said suddenly appeared again, and Shi Youling couldn't help but feel shocked.
But Shi Youling believed Lu Qingshan's words.
In order to suppress the venom of the red beaded snake in her body, their family is now completely impoverished, so what is the benefit of pretending to be her father-in-law?
"Do you have any tokens that can be used to prove your identity?" Lu Qingshan asked.
When it comes to acknowledging relatives, even if you already believe it 70% to 80% in your heart, how can you miss the most important step in recognizing relatives - exchanging tokens?
Shi Youling reacted quickly and immediately took Cai Xingchao's hand and pulled up his sleeve.
On Cai Xingchao's wrist, he actually wore a crystal-clear, moist, deep and exquisite jade bracelet: "This is the jade bracelet artifact left by my mother-in-law..."
Deacon Cai's eyes were red: "Jun'er..."
Deacon Cai slowly stretched out his left hand and rolled up his sleeve. On his dry wrist, there was the same jade bracelet.
This was their initial love affair.
Everything is clear.
Shi Youling quickly tried her best to give Deacon Cai a blessing: "Dad..."
Seeing Cai Xingchao's dumbfounded look, Shi Youling pulled Cai Xingchao's sleeve and said, "This is your grandpa... Come and see your grandpa soon."
Cai Xingchao's expression was dull. Under Shi Youling's urging, he was like a puppet on strings, struggling to squeeze out the word "grandpa" from his mouth.
Deacon Cai looked at Cai Xingchao's face that was somewhat similar to his own when he was young. He raised his arms and reached forward. His hands were trembling, and he finally touched Cai Xingchao's hand several times.
"Good boy, good boy... I'm sorry for you..." The old deacon held Cai Xingchao's hand tightly with his rough palm, and finally couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes.
He, Cai Heng, was affiliated with Zhenjiang City [Zhenfu Division], supervising and suppressing the monks who violated the ban of Daxia, using iron-blooded methods.
However, because of his duties, his Taoist family was destroyed.
This is a painful memory that can never be erased from his heart.
Looking at Cai Xingchao in front of him, his eyes were full of love and guilt. He opened his mouth to say something, but his chest heaved and he couldn't speak.
"Grandpa, can you save my mother?" Cai Xingchao suddenly thought of something, and looked at Deacon Cai with eyes full of pleading and expectation.
"How can it be so difficult to cure just a little purple snake venom!" At this moment, Deacon Cai's tone revealed a bit of high spirits, "You guys come back to Zhenjiang City with me, and I will definitely cure your mother's venom."
The Scarlet Pearl Snake is a first-class monster with severe venom.
If a Qi Refining monk is poisoned by the Red Pearl Snake, he can only rely on spiritual pills to suppress the poison. It is very difficult to completely eliminate the poison!
But for Deacon Cai, with his cultivation and status at this time, it is not difficult to detoxify from this poison, although it is not easy.
...
Detoxifying and treating Shi Youling's injuries was a top priority, and Deacon Cai acted very quickly.
"This is?!" Cai Xingchao supported his mother and looked a little panicked at the huge monster with a menacing aura in front of him.
"This is grandpa's demon pet [Black Feathered Eagle]. You help your mother up, and we will rush back to Zhenjiang City to detoxify and treat your mother's injuries."
[Black Feathered Eagle] is huge, and it can carry four people without affecting its flight speed at all.
Without much delay, the group quickly rushed back to Zhenjiang City.
...
In the study room.
"How did you know about me and Xiaochao and his wife? Even I couldn't find any information about them. How did you find them?"
"Of course I have my own methods." Lu Qingshan looked calm and did not want to say more on this point.
——How to explain cheating?
Deacon Cai was silent for a while, then spoke again: "Since you don't want to say it, I can't force you, but no matter what, it was you who saved Xiao Chao's mother's life."
The venom of the crimson pearl snake on Shi Youling's body was already very serious. If it were delayed for a while, the venom would enter the heart, and even the golden elixir monk would be unable to save his life.
The sword cultivator in the previous life probably completed the mission relatively late, so when he found Cai Xingchao, Shi Youling had already died due to snake venom infiltrating his heart, and only Cai Xingchao was brought back.
Now that Lu Qingshan had intervened like this, he was able to avoid the extremely time-consuming task of running around, saving extremely critical time, and found the teachers and children before the snake venom entered their hearts.
