Chapter 227: Can't You Just Split It Open?
"Good boy, it will hurt to pull out the thorn, just bear with it."
Ye Qingse gently took off Youhuang's clothes and looked at the criss-crossing wounds, feeling so painful that she almost cried.
You Huang was too thin, and the thorns of the soul-attached flower were too long, so that the bones could be seen in some places. Ye Qingse pulled out the thorns while cursing, "This damn Ran Hai has lived for hundreds of years in vain, but he is still so unpresentable."
"Um……"
Every time a thorn was pulled out, Youhuang groaned in pain.
Ye Qingse said with a pained look: "Child, if it hurts, just shout it out, don't hold it in and hurt yourself."
"You are so thin, don't your parents give you food?" The child was really too thin, with hardly any meat on his body.
"I was separated from my parents when I was six months old." You Huang answered truthfully without thinking too much, "I was kidnapped by bad guys when I was three years old and thrown outside to fend for myself. Fortunately, an old Taoist nun who passed by saved me and raised me until I was seven years old before she left."
"Why did the old nun leave?"
Ye Qingse didn't expect the child to have such a rough life, and she felt a little more pity for him.
In order to ease the pain, You Huang distracted her attention and continued, "The old Taoist nun is about to die, so she probably wants to give it a try."
"How did you support yourself after the old nun left?" Ye Qingse couldn't imagine how a seven-year-old child could live alone. "You must have suffered a lot."
"The old nun taught me to recognize hundreds of herbs. I know which wild grasses, fruits, and mushrooms are edible. If I can't get food, I'll go to the mountains to look for them." You Huang said disapprovingly, "When I grow up, I'll join the Tianji Pavilion and do some errands to gather information. Although I can't eat well, I can survive."
"When will you return to your parents?" Ye Qingse asked again, pulling out a broken thorn.
"Hiss..." You Huang took a deep breath: "At the beginning of this year."
"Is your mother also a monk?"
"My mother is a mortal, born into a military family."
When faced with someone who spoke up for him when his life was hanging by a thread, Youhuang was not overly cautious.
Lying on the small stone bed, he said, "When I was six months old, they had to go to the frontier to guard the border. They were gone for thirteen years and only returned to the capital at the beginning of the year. As soon as they came back, they looked for me to return to the mansion."
Ye Qingse finally understood why Youhuang was so thin. It turned out that she had been living a life with no food to eat. Looking at the clothes she retired, although they were torn, the material and workmanship were first-class in the human world. It was obvious that her family cared about her. She felt distressed but also relieved.
After pulling out the broken thorns on the body, he applied medicine to the wound.
Youhuang didn’t know what kind of medicine it was, but it felt cool and comfortable when applied on the body.
This lady whom I met for the first time was much gentler than my own mother. She was very gentle when removing thorns and applying medicine.
Ye Qingse took out a set of clothes from her ring and said, "This is the Queyuxiayi. It can change size according to the wearer's body shape. Auntie, let me put it on for you."
"This is too expensive. I can't accept it." Youhuang is not an idiot in cultivation. The Queyuxiayi is not only a piece of clothing, but also a magical weapon for protection.
"You kid, why are you being so polite to your aunt?" Ye Qingse put on Youhuang's clothes without giving any explanation: "Your clothes are so torn. If you wear them to meet people, your father will lose face. After all, he is a well-known figure."
"!!!"
Youhuang was a little surprised that Marquis Wushen was so famous in the world of cultivation!
He looked down at the clothes he had taken off, and they were indeed too rotten to wear again: "There were clothes in my ring, but they were taken away by them."
"That's outrageous. You're even taking a little girl's things." Ye Qingse swiftly helped You Huang put on her clothes. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Will your mother help you put on your clothes?"
"She only dresses me up for important occasions." You Huang couldn't help but complain about Shen Zhaojun: "Most of the time, it's the maids who take care of my daily life. Recently, I find them annoying, so I kicked them all out. Why should I let them bother me when I can just cast a spell to complete it?"
"You don't seem to have any feelings for your mother." Ye Qingse was a little surprised. It is said that mother and daughter are connected by heart, so they should not despise each other even if they are separated at a young age.
"I have no memory of them..." You Huang said with some entanglement: "They are from a noble family and important officials of the court. There are many things I don't like to do, but I can't disobey the imperial decree and waste my time on useless things."
"What is it that you don't like to do?" Ye Qingse asked with a smile, and even helped her comb her hair.
Her beautiful facial features, especially her eyes, were so attractive that people would never forget them after just one look, and would completely ignore the wounds on her face.
"Go to school." You Huang couldn't help but complain: "There is a big court outside, and the palace school is a small court. There are intrigues all day long. It's so annoying."
"Okay, let's go out."
Ye Qingse pulled Youhuang out of the small stone chamber.
The three men's eyes fell on Youhuang at the same time, and a hint of surprise appeared on their faces.
"Mrs. Wang, this gift is too valuable..."
"The child's clothes are torn like that, and her ring has been stolen. You want her to help you open the mechanism naked."
As soon as Xue Zun opened his mouth, Ye Qingse choked him and turned to Xie Jiang and said, "You in the demon world shouldn't be so greedy for a child's things. Besides, this girl has weird ideas. What she picked up are useless things. Give the ring back to her."
Xie Jiang threw the ring over and said, "Indeed, I collected a lot of useless things."
Xue Zun reached out to take the ring and used his spiritual sense to probe it: "I can understand that you collect bamboo, but why do you collect so many jade trees?"
"It looks good. I'll take it home and plant it." Youhuang replied confidently.
Xue Zun knew her temper and said coldly: "It's enough to plant one tree, why do you harvest so much."
You Huang took a lazy look and said, "If one species dies, there are other trees to replace it until the younger generation finds a way to keep them alive in the human world."
Ye Qingse was very pleased with these words: "You are indeed a smart child. You know how to learn from failure and find the right method little by little. Auntie believes that you can plant the jade tree in the world."
Xue Zun was stunned for a moment and said, "At your age, being her aunt, isn't that too much of an honor for a little girl?"
The ages of all the people in the Marquis Wushen Mansion added together may not be as old as this lady, who has raised the little girl by several generations.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and open the mechanism first." Xie Jiang spoke before Ye Qingse: "Chu Youhuang, come and take a look. Can you open the stone door in front of you according to the instructions on the wall?"
"Can't you just split it open?"
Youhuang glanced at Shi and asked back, while at the same time glancing at the mechanism on the stone door.
Xue Zun said coldly: "If it can be split, it will be your turn to come here, and the secret realm will no longer exist."
"Are you going to take away the core of the formation that supports the operation of the entire secret realm?" You Huang asked subconsciously when he heard it, and did not explain when he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"That depends on whether you have the ability to open the mechanism left by the owner of the secret realm." Xie Jiang pointed at the pattern on the stone door and said, "This is the clue to open the mechanism. Come and see if you can understand it."
