C1609 History of the Blue Orchid
"Alright, the Gu technique you mentioned is one of the more famous spells in the Southern Wilderness. The reason for that is because the Gu is small in size, making it impossible to guard against. However, this is only a rarity in the Southern Wilderness." Lan Lan stood up after a pause and walked towards the locust tree that Xu Fann was leaning on.
Walking in front of Xu Fann, Xu Fann gave the locust tree a light slap. Then, the locust tree seemed to have come to life. The straight trunk of the tree twisted crazily like a python, and not long after, the tree withered and became as dry as firewood.
Xu Fann was also a bit shocked at this scene. The reason was because Xu Fann clearly saw that Lan Lan did not use any technique when she was hitting the tree.
Seeing Xu Fann frown, Lan Lan said, "This is a Gu technique! I just injected a Gu worm into this tree. This Gu worm activated all of the tree's vitality, which is why it was so quick to dry up. "
Lan Lan walked up to the locust tree and gave it a light kick. The trunk of the tree scattered like sand in the wind.
"I don't know how old I am either. When I was young, I followed my grandmother to the village, and at that time, my grandmother was simple and honest, and my grandmother was kind and helped the villagers in the village free of charge. At that time, my grandmother was also respected by the villagers, and they even placed the Longevity Card on her." When Lan Lan said this, Xu Fann also sucked in a breath of cold air. He understood what the Longevity Card meant. This was sufficient to prove the place that Grandma Lan Lan had in the hearts of the villagers.
"Later on, until one day a white-clothed swordsman appeared with Mrs Snake, and they took Grandma away. In the end, they found out that Grandma's Gu was the one I used earlier, and Grandma knew that she was a bad person, so she didn't say anything. Afterwards, that white-clothed swordsman killed Grandma with one strike." Lan Lan's eyes were a little empty when she said that. Xu Fann knew that Lan Lan remembered the scene from that day, but he pretended not to know it. He patted on Lan Lan's shoulder and transferred some spiritual energy to her.
Lan Lan felt her body cool down and her thoughts become much clearer. She looked at Xu Fann gratefully and continued, "Do you think that it's over just because they killed Grandma? No no, that was just the beginning of Grandma's nightmare. That white-clothed swordsman snatched Grandma's memories first and obtained this kind of Gu technique, then used Grandma's soul to threaten me, making me, Ancestor Grandma, go comfort and control the villagers in the village. Otherwise, Grandma's soul would be refined like her own magical equipment.
Lan Lan looked at Xu Fann and said, "Do you know what they want me to do with Ancestor Grandma?"
"Go ahead." Xu Fann seemed to have guessed it, but he wasn't willing to say it out loud. He couldn't say it out loud, wasn't this kind of thing too cruel? Would their conscience be at peace?
When their lifespan is almost up, I will take some of them away, which is to use the Gu technique to lock down the lifespan of the villagers, and then make them work for him. It was only in these few years that he disappeared, and even though Mrs Snake also restrained herself, the hatred in my heart grew day by day. Lan Lan asked again.
"A conscience finding?" Xu Fann said, but he didn't really believe it either.
At first, I didn't recognize that Gu Lei was that white-clothed swordsman, but later on, I saw the blue jade plate by his waist and I clearly felt that grandmother's soul was locked inside. After she finished speaking, Lan Lan covered her eyes and squatted down, tears streaming down her face.
"How old are you, then?" Although Xu Fann knew his question was inappropriate, he still couldn't help but ask.
Lan Lan wiped her tears and took a deep breath. "I don't remember."
"What!?" How could I not remember? " Xu Fann asked.
"I'm not lying to you, I really don't remember." Lan Lan's expression was very serious, it didn't seem like she was lying to Xu Fann.
Xu Fann touched his nose awkwardly. Everyone said that age was a woman's secret, but Lan Lan shouldn't be considered an ordinary woman and she wouldn't hide this from him. After thinking for a while, he asked, "When you and your grandma went to the village, what year was it?"
"Hong Wu 26 years!" Lan Lan blurted out.
"En..." "Fine." Xu Fann felt that his brain wasn't working enough at this moment.
"Actually, my surname was originally Lan. Back then, father was persecuted by the Dog Emperor and fled to the southern border." After Lan Lan finished her sentence, Xu Fann was a little confused. He probed with a question, "Your father couldn't be Lan Yu, right?"
"How do you know!" Lan Lan stood up abruptly.
"I guessed. How many years has it been since then? Those things were already written in the books. Fifteen thousand people died that time." Xu Fann asked.
"How can so many people die? The emperor captured my father that day, and his uncle even came to visit us several times during the first few years after coming to the Southern Wilderness." Lan Lan said.
Xu Fann was a bit speechless. It was probably because the later dynasties changed Ming Shi, so he didn't ask this question. He looked at Lan Lan and asked, "Didn't you ever think of leaving this place?"
"So what if I leave this place? A place with relatives is a home. I haven't finished speaking just now. Do you know why my body has been immortal for so many years?" Lan Lan asked.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Fann said, "Are they the people from the village …" Before Xu Fann had even finished speaking, Lan Lan laughed coldly: "Even if I die, I would not do such a heartless thing. I have been cursed by that white clothed swordsman, whose dao heart is the cause of the curse of the Spiritual Energy, I have tried countless times to end my life but to no avail. Later on, I have also thought it through, since I am still alive, I will look for an opportunity to take revenge on this blood ocean. I do not know the name of that white clothed swordsman, but I swear that one day I will kill this thief." Lan Lan bit her lips after she finished speaking.
"Alright, now you and I can be considered to have shared the pity of the sick. Let's think of a solution together in the future." Xu Fann said bitterly, but he was not too discouraged. Xu Fann had the biggest reliance on the Fire Qilin, what was there to be afraid of?
