Journey to Yumiao Mountain Chapter 50: Conversation with Yuduan
"You came."
Yu Duan was not surprised by Wan Chan's appearance in the room. Her expression was indifferent, even with a bit of a smile.
Wan Jun sat at the table in her room. Ning Xiaoye outside the door opened a barrier to ensure that the conversation in the room would not be heard by others and that no one would disturb the two of them during the conversation.
He nodded slightly, revealing a tacit understanding between the two of them. Wan Jin picked up the tea and poured a cup for Yu Duan. Yu Duan accepted it happily. She put the tea cup in front of her nose and sniffed, then smiled.
Come.
Yu Duan took a sip and said: "I once heard my father say that there are immortals in the world who drink wind and eat dew. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it is my ignorance."
She put down the tea cup and smiled at Wan Chan, "I haven't asked the immortal for his name."
"You can't be called an immortal, just a cultivator." Wan Jin shook his head. To mortals, cultivators are indeed like immortals, but those who understand people know that cultivators are not immortals. If you want to become an immortal, you must
You must go through the level of overcoming the tribulation.
For cultivators who have not reached that level of cultivation, the closer they get to the great road, the more they will be able to understand the difference between themselves and immortals. On the contrary, those with shallow cultivation and low qualifications prefer to call themselves immortals.
Wan Jun didn't say much, but simply expressed his attitude. A conversation with Lian Ruyi made him understand a lot and also allowed him to get the most important information.
"Tell me your story, yours, that of Hongzhuangtang, and... your father's."
Yu Duan paused and put the tea cup on the table. The ceramic cup only made a soft sound, and the room suddenly became quiet.
After a long while, Yu Duan raised his eyes to look at Wan Chan and said softly: "It seems that someone has already told you something."
"yes."
Wan Jun did not deny it, he nodded and said: "It's true that I didn't choose the right method at the beginning and wasted some of my time. For you, having someone come and get rid of that Earth Mother is probably a good thing that you can only dream of."
"Hahahaha." Yu Duan suddenly laughed. She was born in a wealthy family, and etiquette was engraved in her bones. Even when she smiled like this, she covered her face with long sleeves, revealing only a pair of eyes filled with crystal tears.
"Yes, I have been waiting for this day for three years."
Three years ago, Yu Duan was sixteen years old. She was born into a noble family. She was very good in both appearance and talent. The matchmaker who came to propose marriage crossed the threshold of the family. However, Yu Duan was arrogant and looked down on her.
Those young and handsome young men from aristocratic families, but her father thought so.
For his father Yu Qintian, what he values more than his daughter's happiness is what this marriage contract can bring him. The portraits sent to Yu Duan are mixed, but the only thing in common is that they are all famous people in the city.
character.
Although Yu Duan was capable, she did not have the capital to resist her father. Faced with constant pressure from her father, she could only try to choose the outcome that was most beneficial to her. She chose a suitable partner, agreed to her father's request, and settled with her father.
That person got married.
However, at this moment, his father's personality changed drastically when he returned from a trip. Instead of asking Yu Duan to marry someone, he began to call on people in the city to believe in a man on Yumiao Mountain whose name he had never even heard of.
immortal.
Yu Duan thought it was ridiculous at first, that her father would believe in some kind of god, but what happened next frightened her greatly.
More and more people in the city began to believe in that god. Even after his father said "offer a living sacrifice to the Earth Mother," they didn't feel anything was wrong. When his younger brother was burned to death in public, Yu Duan already understood.
My father has gone crazy.
She originally wanted to escape, but the people in the city were also in a state of madness. Sooner or later something would happen to her if she stayed in this place. But the night before she implemented her plan, her father came to her room and said a lot to her.
.
The meaning behind the words was to ask Yu Duan to serve the Earth Mother. No matter how Yu Duan begged for mercy, her father still sent her to the Hongzhuang Hall.
There were nearly twenty women, big and small, who came here together. The oldest was seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest was only ten years old.
At first, Yu Duan tried to escape, but when she found that there was no one else in Hongzhuang Hall except them, she felt that things were not simple. During that period, someone would be found dead in the room every day.
It caused great panic for them. Some people wanted to escape, but the next day, a box with a part of that person's body would appear in the middle of the hall, as if it was a silent warning.
Everyone was in despair. Everyone huddled in their rooms and did not dare to go out. They were in panic all day long, waiting for death that would come at some unknown time.
Yu Duan also tried to change, but her efforts were not rewarded. When facing death, everyone's hearts were filled with darkness. Yu Duan, who was alone, was unable to change everything. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people alive, in the end
, there were only five people left.
Just when Yu Duan thought it was about to be his turn, a new group of people was sent. There were twelve in this group. They didn't know what kind of fate they were waiting for. Yu Duan looked at them curiously and inquired.
He looked very angry, but his heart was very angry.
She hated her father, hated her own powerlessness, and even more hated the person hiding in the darkness, but her hatred was useless, because she would be the next to die.
How long can these people live? They will live in fear every day just like me.
"But you survived." Wan Jin picked up the teapot and filled Yu Duan's tea cup. Yu Duan then realized that she had finished a cup of tea without knowing it. She picked up the hot tea and took a sip, and the heat flowed into her belly.
, suppressing the emotions caused by memories.
"Yes, I originally thought I would die, but at that time, things took a turn for the better."
Yu Duan took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
That person was the second group of people who came here. She found Yu Duan and told Yu Duan how to survive. However, this method was very harsh and it was almost impossible for everyone to do it.
.
"If, if we all do it, can we all survive?" Yu Duan looked at the man sincerely as if she saw hope, but she was so smart and knew the information revealed in the other person's words.
"This is impossible because not everyone can do it. Moreover, this is only a temporary method. If the monster does not get enough sacrifices, it will take other methods. But this is the only way to save most people.
The method and sacrifice are also...inevitable."
"Sacrifice..." Yu Duan's eyes dimmed. She was unwilling to sacrifice anyone to protect herself, but this was the only way, and it was also the way to allow more people to survive.
The man added: "If you can't do it, let me do it. I need someone to maintain this peace. You are very special. I think you are very suitable for this position."
Yu Duan looked deeply at the man. Of course she knew what she had to face as a villain, but the other man was so determined, so why was she still hesitating?
So Yu Duan agreed, and from then on, she began to gather everyone together. Although the process was very difficult, she got to where she is now step by step.
"who's that person."
Wan Jun asked.
Yu Duan was a little confused. She looked at Wan Chan and said, "Don't you know? I thought you came here after having contact with that person."
Wan Jun was stunned for a moment, and the figures of two people immediately appeared in his mind.
Jinqiu and Lian Ruyi.
Yu Duan saw that he was silent. Although he was a little confused, he still answered his doubts, "It's Jin Qiu. She is the person who traded with me. She has been dealing with these things secretly. You and her have already talked."
.”
The person talking to Jinqiu was Ning Xiaoye, and Ning Xiaoye told him the content of the conversation word for word.
But both Jinqiu and Lian Ruyi revealed this information - to find Yuduan.
Since the person who dealt with her in Yu Port was Jin Qiu, then what is Lian Ruyi's identity?
Wan Zhen's thoughts were complex, but they were not expressed on his face. He looked at Yu Duan, who looked uneasy, and whispered: "I understand."
Hearing what he said, Yu Duan breathed a sigh of relief. Not many people had come here over the years. She did not dare to tell those mortals the truth at will, for fear of dragging them into the sea of fire. But now facing Wan Chan as a cultivator,
She just gave 120% of her trust.
"Your kindness will be kept in my heart forever. If there is a need for my little girl, I will do my best." Yu Duan stood up and gave a big salute. Wan Chan quickly helped her up and looked at Yu Duan's eyes.
tears, just nodded.
"Do you have any more news? Tell me."
"yes."
According to Yu Duan's dictation, those who commit suicide will be transported to Yumiao Mountain by Jin Qiu. I don't know how she does it. After doing so, the number of bizarre deaths in Hongzhuang Hall has been reduced a lot. Yu Duan once made some insinuations.
However, those corpses will be offered to the Earth Mother in exchange for temporary peace in the Hongzhuang Hall.
"It seems that I have to go find Jinqiu." Wan Jun stood up and prepared to leave.
"Young Master!" Yu Duan called him, with a hint of worry and pleading in his voice, "The little lady knows that Jin Qiu is not an ordinary person, but she has been helping everyone in the past few years. If... if it is possible, she can
Sir, please show your respect, have you just passed her once?"
Yu Duan is very keen, she can guess how special Jin Qiu is, but she also sees that Jin Qiu has no intention of harming others, but is trying hard to protect them, so Yu Duan does not want her to be killed by Wan Jun because of her identity.
For her, her father, who is related by blood, can harm her, so what does it matter if the person who protects her is a human or a ghost? As long as she is sincere, that is enough.
Wan Jun neither agreed nor refused, opened the door and walked out, leaving Yu Duan secretly sad.
Outside the door, Ning Xiaoye, who saw him coming out, put away his spell, and the two of them returned to the room on the third floor.
As soon as he entered the door, Ning Xiaoye asked: "How is it?"
"Now that I have a clue, I'm going to look for Jinqiu."
"Sister Jinqiu?" Ning Xiaoye was stunned, as if he didn't expect it to be her, "What happened?"
"She may be the person next to the mother of the land. Although I don't know what her purpose is, she may be able to use her to get closer to Yumiao Mountain."
Ning Xiaoye also realized Jinqiu's special status. She didn't say anything, but she just sighed when she thought about the person who would be waiting for them outside the door.
"Where's Jinqiu?"
"By the way." Ning Xiaoye said as if she remembered something: "After talking to me, she said she had something to do and left. I haven't seen her until now."
When Wan Jun wanted to communicate with Yu Duan, he said that Jin Qiu would dispose of the bodies of those people, and he also realized that Jin Qiu had gone to dispose of the bodies.
It's just that I don't know where she is now. If I want to ask her anything, I have to wait for her to come back. This chapter has been completed!
