Chapter 43: Su Sanniang (1)
Chen Shuqing was just tired and slept. Pu Zixuan applied Buddha Spirit San for her, so there was nothing serious about it. The next morning, he woke up on his own. Not to mention Pu Zixuan, the three arrow wounds on his body were gone at dawn. However, the woman was still tied to a chair and unconscious. From this point of view, her super physical recovery ability is not the common feature of all purifying messengers, but the unique ability of the Dragon King of the Galaxy. Putting aside her powerful materialization ability, just in terms of physical strength, this woman is not much stronger than ordinary people.
The two of them had eaten steamed buns leisurely. Seeing that the woman had not woken up, Chen Shuqing said with some remorse: "Oh, it seems that I still haven't controlled my strength. I'm too heavy to do it. I should be more pity for me."
Among the people who pinched the woman, Pu Zixuan patted her on the face a few more times. Seeing that she was still not moving, she was helpless, so she brought a basin of clear water and poured it on her face.
The woman then coughed a few times, blinked and woke up.
Looking at her wet body, Pu Zixuan apologized: "I'm really sorry, I can't wake you up, so I have to come up with this bad idea. As long as you are willing to answer our questions, we will definitely not make things difficult for you. If you understand the whole story, you can let you go immediately."
The woman just woke up and her vitality had not yet recovered. She asked weakly: "I have fallen into your hands today, why don't you give me some fun?"
Seeing that this woman is very strong, she must have been used to fighting days. Pu Zixuan knew that being strong with her would only make the dialogue more and more tit-for-tat, and she had to move with emotion and reason. Fortunately, she could not move, so the two had a sufficiently relaxed communication environment. Pu Zixuan advised friendlyly: "Since you are determined to eliminate monsters and have not achieved great achievements, why should you waste your life in our hands? We came to Fengzhou Island to eliminate the monsters in Black Wind Mountain. Since we have a common goal, why not go together and have a response?"
The woman said disdainfully: "The monster said she wanted to remove the monster? Haha, it's such a big deal! Why should I believe your nonsense?"
Pu Zixuan took out the four magic talismans and handed them to her, and said sincerely: "Yesterday, we went to Heifeng Mountain to catch monsters early in the morning. We didn't expect that the fox demon was stopped by the barrier, so we discovered the secret of the magic talisman. These magic talismans must have been given to you by the Abbot Shu Ran of Lingyun Temple? In fact, we only had one thought to kill you last night, and the hidden arrow mechanism of the magic talisman would be lifted. We didn't do this, and we saw that you seemed to have difficulties and wanted to ask clearly. To be honest, we had already visited Abbot Shu Ran yesterday afternoon. He explained to us the origin of the barrier, especially a woman named Su from Guangdong who had gone to find him. All signs indicate that this woman named Su was you, but I didn't expect that you were also a purifying messenger."
With Abbot Shiran as a bridge, the woman's sharp tone was much more restrained and she said, "It's not bad. The woman Abbot Shiran is talking about is me. My surname is Su, and people call me Su Sanniang."
Hearing this, Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing were shocked. The title of "Su Sanniang" is the title of a legendary heroine in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It was so powerful that it was famous in the court and the country as early as 1853 AD when Su Sanniang entered Nanjing. At that time, there was a poem that specifically praised her:
The sound of drums and horns at the top of the city is loud,
There are many teeth and flags,
东家西家走且僵,
Passers-by scramble to see Su Sanniang.
The other party has such a special identity, Pu Zixuan had to confirm again: "Su Sanniang? Is Su Sanniang, the heroine who leads the heaven and earth to join the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, you?"
The woman said lightly: "So what if it's me?"
"This is a great hero among the people. I... I really offend me." Pu Zixuan thought of her powerful purification power, which was worthy of Su Sanniang's reputation and her aura of men. He realized that she was not lying, so he untied her rope and begged, "I didn't expect that Su Sanniang was also a purifier. Please believe us and don't fight again."
Chen Shuqing asked in confusion: "Su Sanniang is a legendary heroine of the Taiping Army. She charges and is invincible, which makes the court frightened. However, it suddenly disappeared ten years ago. Some people said that you married Luo Dagang, and some people said that you died in the battlefield. Why did you appear in Jiading Prefecture and Fengzhou Island?"
Su Sanniang did not cause any more trouble, got up and moved her muscles and responded: "Hmph, why did I appear here? I don't even know."
Chen Shuqing thought she was still angry with the two of them, so she said kindly: "We can't be acquainted. As a female hero, Su Sanniang is very admirable. I, a half-demon, have offended me last night. Please forgive the hero. What happened to the hero? I hope you can tell the truth. Maybe we can help."
Su Sanniang looked at Chen Shuqing and said, "You monster are indeed not like those evil monsters in Black Wind Mountain. Let's do this. You tell me your identity first, and I will consider whether to tell you what happened to me."
Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing were in control of the situation, not afraid of the other party’s breach of trust, so they told him one by one about the identity of Pu Songling’s descendants, Chen Shuqing’s life experience, and why they came to this island to find the causes and consequences of the fragments of "Huanyue Jue", just as they told Master Shi Ran yesterday.
Su Sanniang was also very surprised when she heard the other party's identity. It seemed that every purifier respected Pu Songling enough, so she finally took off her guard and said, "So that's it. The two monsters who came from Yunnan to find the Black Wind Mountain have a common goal with me. However, although the monster is weak, its ability is very strange. I had a meeting with him last year. It was a monster that controls people's memories, named Fu Yan. After meeting, I was seized part of my memory, first for several months, and then every month, the memory lost part of it, and it was accelerating. Now, half a year has passed, and I can't remember what happened ten years ago!"
Pu Zixuan was shocked and said, "This symptom is the opposite of Tian Jinkun's condition. It is the son of the boatman Tian Yi. Every month, he will have an extra memory to cover his own memory! Could it be that this monster named Fu Yan, who seizes some people's memories while tampering with other people's memories?"
