Chapter 90 The Origin of the Water Ghost
Seeing this, Shen Xia Xia asked her, "Did you remember anything?"
The water ghost shook his head: "No, it's just that this scene makes me want to cry for no reason, and my heart hurts like a knife."
Shen Xiaxia frowned and asked Song Yaqian quietly: "Is there any reason for this performance?"
While Song Yaqian was concentrating on watching the stage, she whispered to Shen Xiaxia, "I heard from Mr. Zeng that this is to commemorate the grandmother who held the seal."
Grandma?
Could this water ghost be the seal's grandmother?
This shouldn't be the case. Even if the grandmother who held the seal was still alive, she would only be in her sixties or seventies now, which doesn't match the age of this water ghost at all.
Shen Xia Xia glanced at the palm prints in the crowd.
Her cool and noble appearance caught people's attention at first sight.
It seems that if we want to find out the origin of the water ghost, we have to start with the palm print.
At the end of the dance performance, a huge banner with the dancers' portraits appeared on the screen.
This is none other than the seal's grandmother, Ms. Bai Mu.
Song Yaqian nodded with her pupils trembling slightly: "So Ms. Bai Mu is the grandmother of the seal holder. She is a historic dancer. Ms. Bai Mu's ancestors are all from a family of dancers. I heard that their ancestors all danced in the royal family."
"Later, I don't know which generation it was, Miss Bai was favored by the emperor. Miss Bai had a lover at that time and didn't want to enter the palace as a concubine. The emperor was furious and found an excuse to confiscate the entire Bai family. Miss Bai was made into a human skin lantern and hung in front of the Bai Mansion."
"There was a maid who ran away holding the young master of the Bai family. This is how the branch of the Bai family was preserved and continued. The Bai family's dance gene is really amazing. Both men and women have achieved some success in the dance world."
"Ms. Bai Mu's dances are all models for us to learn from, and her stories are all recorded in dance textbooks for us to learn from."
The moment you see the portrait come out.
With a cry of "Ah!", the water ghost fell to the ground in pain, and scenes from the past played in her mind like a kaleidoscope.
The lady was skinned alive and made into a human skin lantern...
The master was beaten to death with clubs, and the wife was forced to hang herself...
The young master is missing...
The maids and women in the palace, the pretty ones were sold to brothels, or used as concubines of officials, and the ugly ones were sent to do hard labor...
Everyone was screaming and running around...
Young Master, Young Master was hidden in the rice jar by the Young Madam.
The young lady gave Long Cui an address and told her to bring the young master out alive.
This year, Long Cui was fifteen years old and the young master was ten years old.
The young lady used her life to block the pursuing soldiers for them.
She finally escaped to the address given by the young lady.
It is an old house located in a remote mountain area.
In this way, Long Cui acted like both a wife and a mother in raising the young master.
Until the young master was eighteen years old and Long Cui was twenty-three years old.
Long Cui was beautiful, and the young master fell in love, so they got married.
Not long after, the young master left home on the pretext that he was a man with the world in his heart and was determined to revive his family.
However, Long Cui discovered that she was pregnant.
This woman who grew up in hardship decided to give birth to the child and wait for the young master to come back.
A year passed, then two years passed.
The child has already learned to walk, but the little master has never come.
When the child was five years old, a group of bandits came to the mountains and were attracted by Long Cui's beauty.
A group of bandits forcibly took Longcui for themselves.
Long Cui was exhausted and passed out.
At this moment, the door of the room was opened, and a deep and powerful male voice shouted angrily: "Assistant! I have reported to the police."
The bandits were worried that Long Cui would inform on them.
They knocked the man unconscious, abducted the unconscious Long Cui, and threw her into the stream beside the old house. They did not stop until they saw Long Cui completely sink to the bottom of the water.
This Longcui is a water ghost.
"I remember it, I remember it." Long Cui cried in pain.
“I know what my obsession is.”
"What is it?" asked the Earth God. "I have been on this land for hundreds of years. I have some memory of what happened here. It stands to reason that an old ghost like you should have some memory of it."
Long Cui smiled bitterly: "I died in a very remote place, and my body was sunk to the bottom of the water. It's natural that you don't know it, God of Land."
Shen Xia Xia asked: "Then what is your obsession?"
"My child, and the young master, and who was the man who appeared that day?"
"I originally had a strong hatred. I wanted to kill those bandits. I even wanted to kill all the happy people in this world. Why am I the only one who is so miserable? I have been a maid in my family since I can remember. I risked my life to save the young master. I finally had a child, but my husband disappeared again."
"When I wanted to live my life with my child, God didn't even give me this opportunity. My poor child is only five years old. If I die, how will he live?"
Shen Xia Xia glanced at the shining palm prints in the crowd and said calmly, "I can be sure that your child survived at that time, and his descendants are very outstanding and have become some of the best figures in the world today. Your hard work back then was not in vain."
"Really?" A gleam of light flashed in Long Cui's eyes.
She has been wandering in this world for too long. As long as her descendants can live happily, all the suffering she has endured will be worth it.
Shen Xia Xia nodded affirmatively: "I finally understand why other ghosts would be shaken away by the golden light on his body when they approached the palm print, but you were so close to him and nothing happened."
"I was even able to get in close contact with him. It turns out that it's because he has your blood in his body."
"Who are you talking about?" Long Cui asked unwillingly: "The palm print? Don't tell me, it's that handsome guy who often comes to the VIP swimming pool!"
Shen Xia Xia curled the corners of her lips and nodded: "It's him, he is your descendant, and the woman who appeared on the screen just now is his grandmother."
Long Cui: "That woman looks so much like my young lady and young master. She has perfectly inherited the beauty of her ancestors."
The God of Land stroked his graying beard and said, "Of course they look alike. This is the bloodline passed down from you and your young master."
"I've heard of this palm print. It's very powerful now. Anyone who sees it has to give it some respect. It's much more powerful than your own palm print back then."
Shen Xia Xia smiled and said, "Now he is the only one who controls the fate of others, and no one else controls his fate."
Long Cui was overjoyed: "I know him. I've been trapped in the swimming pool all these years, and he's the person I see the most. Normally, no one dares to come here."
"Everyone treats him with respect. He is handsome, rich, and powerful. He is worthy of being the descendant of my mother, Long Cui, and the young master."
The God of Land calculated the location of this place and said: "This place is where your old house was located. The swimming pool is the river where your body was sunk. But later, the river was filled up."
Long Cui frowned: "But why can't my soul leave the swimming pool?"?
