Chapter 61: The High Priest(1/2)
"Shao Xinwei didn't catch up, but you don't have to worry, that Nalan Yunxue is their saint, the Lanying Sect, and shouldn't hurt her."
"I'm worried that she will become a sacrifice to some god!"
"What age has this been? There is no need for anyone to offer sacrifices."
There were only two sisters, Xiaohui and Yuwei, in the ward.
Yuwei ignored me and stood in front of the window, looking into the distance.
"Weiwei? You?"
"Is that Zha Yunxue that important?"
"No, I just wanted to have a follower. At first I thought he was a boy, so I wanted to stay with him, but I didn't expect that she turned out to be a girl. If I had known this, no matter what I said, I wouldn't have kept her."
"If you knew she was a woman, would you still try so hard to save her?"
I lowered my head and said nothing. No matter whether she was a boy or a girl, I had no choice but to leave her alone.
Yuwei put her warm little hands on my shoulders, her cold eyes full of tears, "Are your shoulders very hard? You have to carry everything?"
I was stunned on the spot. This was the first time she shed tears after her character was finalized!
"Weiwei, I was wrong..."
"You like to be a follower. Xiaohui can follow you from now on. If you like a woman, you can also let her sleep with you, but don't take such risks in the future! Okay?" After saying that, Yuwei covered her face and cried bitterly...
"Weiwei, please stop crying. I will never cause trouble for myself again."
She was still worried about me getting hurt.
Compared with her abusing me and cutting out my tongue, I am more afraid of her crying, because it is the most helpless confession...
She is already exhausted mentally and physically. I really shouldn't cause trouble for her at this time.
Yuwei burst into tears at the end, "Don't get hurt anymore, I'm really about to collapse now..."
I hugged her tightly, "Weiwei, I promise you, I will never meddle in other people's business from now on..."
When I say this, I feel unsure of myself. I really don’t know if I have this awareness.
The next day, I took Yuhui to inspect the construction of the resort again.
"Huihui, have you heard of Lanying Sect?"
Yu Hui waved her hand, "I don't know, I haven't heard of it..."
"Will Meng Qing'er know?"
"She? She's proficient in everything but loose in everything. She can say a few words, but she can't explain clearly."
"Then you know, does anyone understand this?"
"There's someone who might understand."
"Who?"
"Uncle Li."
"The one guarding the pontoon bridge?"
Yuhui nodded.
"Forget it, isn't he just an old man guarding the bridge?"
"He is not an ordinary old man. He was once a retired bodyguard of Zhongnanhai. He knows a thing or two about many anecdotes and secret arts."
"Oh? What a talent! It's such a pity to guard the floating bridge..."
"He blamed himself for not protecting my sister's biological mother, so she went to guard the pontoon. It happens to be not far from here. Let's go back quickly."
Yu Hui drove to the pontoon bridge, but Uncle Li had already retired. The new bridge guard said, "He built a house by the pontoon bridge."
We came to the dilapidated "simple house" and knocked on the door several times, but no one responded. When we pushed the door and entered the house, we found that there was no one there.
"This old man won't run away, will he?"
"No, he has been guarding it for twenty years, and he will never be able to leave the pontoon in this life."
"Maybe you suddenly thought about it?"
Before he finished speaking, an energetic old man pushed open the door and came in, carrying a big carp in his hand. "I've always been very open-minded."
"Uncle Li, what are you doing here?"
"Second Miss, I'm going fishing. I'll make fish stew for you at noon."
I waved my hand and said, "Uncle Li, I'm here today and want to ask you a question?"
"Tell me, I will tell you everything I know."
"Have you ever heard of the 'Blue Shadow Sect'?"
"Why do you remember to ask this?"
"Xiaomeng had a friend who was kidnapped by them."
Uncle Li said, "The Blue Shadow Sect is a secret organization. Most of the believers use the 'Soul-Capturing Scythe' as a weapon. They mainly serve as bodyguards for others. They have a secret technique that allows them to hide in the shadow of their master and follow them everywhere.
And Blue Shadow, who has a very high status, is good at controlling fire and using poison, but I have never seen a high-level Blue Shadow."
"Is this a cult?"
Uncle Li shook his head, "This Lanying Sect never stirs up trouble or confuses the public with evil talk. There are not many followers in the sect, but all of them are elites.
Unlike other bodyguards, it is not the employer who chooses Lan Yingying, but Lan Yingying chooses his employer!"
"how so?"
"There are not many blue shadows, and they are hard to come by. They cannot be hired with money.
Once they recognize their master, they will only protect one master throughout their lives. Once the master dies, they will take the master's body to the Antarctic and walk to the center of the Antarctic until they freeze to death...
The upper class are all proud to have a Blue Shadow Guard.
When I was in Vietnam, I once had the honor to see a blue shadow. Her master was drugged and poisoned to death. She chased the murderer for thousands of miles, and finally killed the murderer at the cost of her life."
"I'm really touched... Is there any more detailed information?"
"The leader of Lanying Sect, Nalan Yunshan, is kind-hearted and often spends huge sums of money to help the welfare home. However, five years ago, the leader was killed and his daughter also disappeared.
After ‘Nalan Yunhai’ took over, the Lanying Sect became very cruel, and this is all I know...”
"Uncle Li, the blue shadows you mentioned, there seem to be five behind me..."
Uncle Li looked at me in shock, "Five?"
I waved my hand, and the five blue shadows jumped out from behind me.
Uncle Li said in disbelief, "How come you have five?"
"These five are not mine, they belong to my sister Ting."
"In this case, if you have anything to do, just ask them directly."
When I see them, I get very angry. Yesterday when I saw the Zuo Guardian, these five people ran away. Where are the bodyguards?
"You all stand still and explain to me why you left me and ran away yesterday?"
A woman in a blue dress said, "My name is Lanque. To put it simply, they are our leaders. Subordinates are not allowed to fight with the leaders. It's that simple."
"How about a top bodyguard? What qualities do you have?"
Another woman in blue robe said, "It's not that simple. Lan Feng is the high priest of my 'religion'. The other three people are also of high status and extremely powerful. The five of us join forces and can barely compete with those three people."
A battle, but he is definitely no match for the high priest."
"Forget it! Yesterday, I stabbed her in the heart with a knife!"
"That's right, the high priest is kind-hearted and doesn't kill animals casually. Otherwise, you would have died long ago!"
"Why do these words sound so familiar? The high priest seems to have said this too?"
Lan Que nodded, "She doesn't need to lie to you."
"Let's not talk about this, how did you choose my sister?"
"Zhao Ting is not the master we chose. The five of us are subordinates of the previous leader. The new leader cannot tolerate us. If Zhao Ting's mother hadn't taken her in, we might not be alive now."
"You are so powerful? Do you still need someone to take you in?"
"We are indeed all masters, but without the protection of the master's shadow, we will soon be discovered by the leader."
"Nazha Yunxue is your saint. Will she be sacrificed to heaven when she returns?"
"No, the saint is a candidate for the future leader of our religion, but the current leader dislikes the saint very much. He once ordered her assassination, and the high priest kidnapped the saint to protect her."
"So? This is the reason why you retreated?"
Blue Bird nodded.
"Okay, it's nothing. Just go back and protect my sister. Don't follow me all the time."
Lan Que shook his head, "We won't leave. Besides, you hurt my 'teaching' high priest and she escaped. You may be in big trouble in the future!"
