#326 - Is this the legendary hush money?
"Who is it?"
Hearing Da Hei's words, it seems he ran into someone he knows.
No, maybe it's a snake he knows.
After all, it went out to catch the Well Dragon King back.
"It can't possibly be Ling Xiao or Ling Yunzi," Xu Chengxian thought.
Then, in the next glance, he saw the Well Dragon King being held in Da Hei's hand.
The other party was blinking its small eyes, looking at him.
"... Ho?" He laughed, "Why did you run back?"
It turned out to be that four-legged snake from inside the Qiankun Cauldron.
Before, when he found the lid of the Qiankun Cauldron, he didn't see this guy's figure.
The appearance of the four-legged snake was seventy or eighty percent similar to Xu Chengxian's appearance when he didn't have a human form and forcibly used his blood energy to create hands and feet to wander around, so he remembered it very clearly.
Now, as soon as he saw it, he recognized it.
He didn't even need to sense the other party's information.
"A few days earlier than you guys," the four-legged snake said, drooping its head, tied up by Da Hei with black qi turned into a rope.
After being knocked away, it first found a place to hide, so it saw what happened on Xiangji Mountain with its own eyes.
Therefore, its heart and liver were trembling when they met again.
If it hadn't felt something was wrong, the aftereffects of that tribulation lightning could have killed it, but the Taoist priest in front of him had safely passed through the twenty-one tribulation lightning bolts.
In addition, he also kept a very powerful flower snake!
Can't afford to provoke, can't afford to provoke.
"I don't know how many illegitimate children my father has, my aptitude is mediocre and my skills are lacking, I can't achieve great things, so I asked for the title of Well Dragon King, so I could have a place to retreat to," the four-legged snake quickly explained its identity.
At the same time, it was also telling Xu Chengxian not to think of it as a hostage.
The Two Worlds River wouldn't buy it.
"It seems your information is very well-informed!" Xu Chengxian said with a smile.
Good fellow, did it know what happened at the Assassin Governor's mansion so quickly?
Does this four-legged snake live at the bottom of the well? Who is keeping it informed?
"Or were you just wandering around here at the time, and happened to run into us getting out of the car."
"No, no," the four-legged snake waved its hands repeatedly, "There are interconnected water veins underground, I heard about it from the Sea Soul Gate."
The Sea Soul Gate was also in Dongcheng.
Not far from the Moon Elder Temple.
Such a large station must have its own well.
"Oh, so that's how it is," Xu Chengxian nodded, "Alright, your matter will be put aside for now. I'll ask you. Do you know her?"
He pointed to 'Pan Mengdie' and asked.
"Her?" The four-legged snake turned its head to look.
"Pan Mengdie greets benefactor!" 'Pan Mengdie' had already stood up respectfully since the four-legged snake appeared.
At this time, seeing the four-legged snake looking at her, she quickly gave a solemn salute.
"Hmm?" Xu Chengxian frowned slightly when he saw this, but he didn't ask any more questions, but looked at the four-legged snake.
"Ah! I know her! I know her!" The four-legged snake shouted, "Taoist Xu, this is a life I saved by doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."
"When did you save her?" Xu Chengxian asked.
Then he let Da Hei release the four-legged snake to talk.
This guy can't run away.
"Fifteen years ago," the four-legged snake immediately broke free, jumped up and landed on Liuguang's shoulder, "In order to save her, I also used a spirit pill I got from my father!"
It twisted its body twice, and said triumphantly, "I also used the incomplete formation at the bottom of the well to protect her for fifteen years."
"Hmm," Xu Chengxian nodded, it was indeed remarkable to keep a dying person in the world for so long and even save them.
"Then do you know who she is?" He continued to ask.
"Of course I know," the four-legged snake said, "She is Lin Rumeng!"
"..."
"... What?"
Pan Anshou couldn't help but look at 'Pan Mengdie', pointing at her: "You, you are, you are actually Lin Rumeng?"
"Good nephew, don't worry," 'Pan Mengdie' glanced at him, and saluted the four-legged snake again, "Benefactor, benefactor, please forgive me. I lied to benefactor before."
"Lied to me?" The four-legged snake was startled, "Why did you lie to me?"
"I was worried that benefactor wouldn't save me if he knew who I was," 'Pan Mengdie' said calmly.
"... Heh," Xu Chengxian had to admit that this reason was completely justifiable.
After all, he had just learned what kind of woman Pan Mengdie was.
"This... Pan Mengdie? This name sounds familiar," the four-legged snake frowned and raised its hind leg, scratching the back of its head with its toes, and suddenly remembered something, "That's right! Pan Mengdie! Crushed a beggar to death fifteen years ago!"
"Do you remember so clearly?" Xu Chengxian asked meaningfully.
"Of course! That little beggar saved me!" The four-legged snake jumped up and said, "You! You lied to me! I even said that you and I were saved by the little beggar, so I took the trouble to save you!"
As it said that, it was about to scratch 'Pan Mengdie', but Xu Chengxian stopped it.
But the next moment, it still gritted its teeth and clawed at the woman.
Whoosh~
A gust of wind blew past.
The blue and red light on the beautiful woman 'Pan Mengdie' flashed, and she changed her appearance.
It's just... you can't tell who it is at all.
Her appearance was completely destroyed, very thoroughly destroyed.
Her forehead and below her mouth were all bare white bones.
Fortunately, everyone present had seen a bit of the world, and no one exclaimed.
"Tsk, this is troublesome," Xu Chengxian knew that this matter was not over when he saw Pan Anshou staring at 'Pan Mengdie' with a frown.
The only person here who could identify this woman's identity couldn't tell the truth from the fake.
He looked at Pan Ziyu again.
Pan Ziyu shook her head, "Taoist priest, I left home early, and I only saw my aunt a few times when I was very young."
The little aunt was the old grandfather's daughter, spoiled and domineering, and her parents didn't like her and her elder brother to be close to her.
So even if they met, they would avoid it, or simply salute and leave.
Besides, fifteen years, people will also change.
Even if her appearance was not destroyed, she would not recognize her.
"Old Pan, do you have any relatives in your family?" Xu Chengxian said, "See if there is anyone who can recognize the truth."
"Taoist priest, no more," Pan Anshou smiled bitterly, "Even if there are, they are not young, and they are still far away in the clan land."
Xuzhou was a frontier, and the clan land was in the hinterland of the Great Zhou. It would take half a year to go back and forth, and the journey in the middle would be tiring, and it would be easy to die in a foreign land.
Besides, this matter cannot be publicized.
"Taoist Xu, please keep an eye on this... this 'Pan Mengdie', I will go to the Bai family now," Pan Anshou said decisively, "I will invite Bai Wenyu to come here."
If there was anyone in Xuzhou who was familiar with Pan Mengdie and Lin Rumeng, it would be this person who was fought over back then.
"Are you sure?" Xu Chengxian had an expression of 'Old Pan, what are you joking about'.
"Taoist priest, Bai Wenyu may not be familiar with Pan Mengdie, but he must know Lin Rumeng."
"I know. But Old Pan, have you thought about it? That guy has been sleeping with the current Pan Mengdie for fifteen years, and he hasn't noticed anything wrong."
Either that Pan Mengdie is real.
Or he discovered it but didn't reveal it?
"No matter what, I will let him come here," Pan Anshou looked at the woman whose appearance was destroyed, and said in a deep voice, "This matter must have justice."
"Ho?" Xu Chengxian was really surprised.
Good fellow, is this Old Pan really a moral gentleman?
Why, why doesn't he look like one.
But this is none of his business, he just has to wait for the result.
In the evening.
Xu Chengxian didn't get the result of the true or false Pan family daughter, but he first learned a good news.
Pan Anshou and Bai Yuwen invited him to drink together, and during the banquet, they promised to jointly invite the sect master of the Sea Soul Gate tomorrow to help Song Jue become a disciple of the sect.
...
"Could this be, the legendary, hush money?"
