Luohua Cave collapsed before our eyes, and the entrance was completely blocked by rubble.
From then on, there was no more Luohua Cave, and no more Luodong women.
Granny Tianhua sighed and said, "It's over! It's finally over. Luodongnu has been harming Miaojiang for so many years, and it's finally over."
I nodded, but I still felt a little uneasy. I thought of Wang Jiuyang.
According to the person in the huge black coffin inside the red lacquer coffin, as long as we collect three pieces of the divine map, we can determine the location of the other three pieces of the divine map. Originally, I planned to get Wang Jiuyang's piece of the divine map.
Who would have thought that when we were rescuing Zhao Xilan, Wang Jiuyang actually sneaked away and his whereabouts were unknown.
This is a bit difficult.
Because I can't determine Wang Jiuyang's location at all. It seems that the appearance of the red lacquer coffin and the giant beast Taotie has become a threat to Wang Jiuyang.
I'm afraid Wang Jiuyang will no longer care about the two fragments of the magical map in my hand.
After solving the problem of the woman in the cave and rescuing Zhao Xilan, we did not stay in the cave any longer. Soon we followed Granny Tianhua and the others back to their residence.
My original plan was to return to Longtan Inn first, but because Lou Xiaoman was injured and Zhao Xilan was still very weak, we could only stay in Grandma Tianhua's house for the time being.
Grandma Tianhua was busy with Miaojiang affairs all day long.
Including the zombies in the Chimu Granny's stilt house, they were burned and buried by Granny Tianhua. Many Miao people also came here to hold a large-scale sacrifice.
Knowing that Luodongnu was dead, the Miao people all showed joy on their faces.
After all, Luodongnv had been harming Miaojiang for so many years, and the people in Miaojiang dared to be angry but dared not speak out. This time Luodongnv died, and everyone was very happy, and they no longer had to worry about Luodongnv's revenge.
As for the giant beast Taotie, I didn't want to cause panic with its appearance, so after collapsing the Luohua Cave, I put the Taotie beast into a red lacquered coffin.
Although the Taotie beast was very reluctant, it had been controlled by my "Seal of the Beast". I was its master now, and it did not dare to act rashly towards me.
Towards evening, just after we finished our meal, Miao girl Qiu Shui came to the bamboo house and told me that Granny Tianhua wanted to see me.
Want to see me? I don't know what Granny Smallpox means.
So I soon went to the bamboo house where Grandma Tianhua lived.
Inside the bamboo house, Granny Tianhua was standing in the middle of the house, with her hands behind her back, looking as if she was thinking about something.
"Mother-in-law, Yang Tianyi is here." Qiu Shui said softly.
Granny Tianhua turned around, looked at me, waved her hand and said, "Yang Tianyi, come with me, I have something to tell you."
Afterwards, Granny Tianhua actually walked out of the bamboo house and took me to a nearby hill.
The hill is not big, and the surrounding scenery is pleasant. The mountain breeze blows on my face, a little cold, but it's OK and bearable.
Granny Smallpox stopped beside a tree at the top of the mountain.
I followed her and stopped walking, calling out, "Grandma Smallpox."
Granny Tianhua looked back at me and asked me directly without hesitation: "Yang Tianyi, what happened between you and Wang Jiuyang? Why did he leave without saying goodbye?"
I didn't expect Granny Smallpox to ask this question.
After thinking for a while, I said, "It's like this, Granny Tianhua, there is indeed a misunderstanding between Wang Jiuyang and me. It may be because of this misunderstanding that he left. But don't worry, Wang Jiuyang is really my uncle, there is no doubt about that."

My mother-in-law stared at me solemnly while I was speaking.
Her eyes were somewhat silent, as if she wanted to see through my thoughts. I didn't know whether she believed what I said.
When I stopped talking, Granny Smallpox's eyes were still on me, making me feel very uncomfortable.
"Smallpox grandma!" I cried.
Granny Tianhua didn't say anything, but said coldly: "Yang Tianyi, you are lying to me! I already know that you are not Jiang Jiuzhen's apprentice at all. Tell me, is Jiang Jiuzhen dead?"
I didn't expect Granny Tianhua to say this. And she actually revealed my identity directly.
That’s right, I am indeed not Jiang Jiuzhen’s apprentice.
I am the only one who knows this. But how did Granny Tianhua see it
I looked alert and said in a deep voice, "Grandma Tianhua, I don't know what you mean?"
What I didn’t expect was that a layer of good aura suddenly surged from Grandma Tianhua’s body.
She raised her arm, pointed at me and said, "Yang Tianyi, you still want to quibble. Jiang Jiuzhen and I used to know each other, and he said that he would never accept a disciple in his life. And you said you are his disciple. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"Also, although I have never seen Wang Jiuyang, I know that although Wang Jiuyang is Jiang Jiuzhen's junior brother, there is hatred between them. And you are actually mixed up with Wang Jiuyang. I want to know why? Have you killed Jiang Jiuzhen?"
When she said this, Granny Tianhua's face had turned cold.
She looked like a piece of ice.
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, the anger on Granny Tianhua's face became particularly obvious.
Granny Tianhua shouted angrily: "Yang Tianyi, why don't you say anything? Did my words touch your sore spot? Is Jiang Jiuzhen dead?!"
I shook my head and said hurriedly, "No, no, no, Granny Tianhua, you misunderstood. Wang Jiuyang and I just met a while ago, and my friend Yuquan can prove it. As for Jiang Jiuzhen's matter... Well! Since you want to know, I'll tell you."
Afterwards, I was afraid that Granny Tianhua would continue to misunderstand me, so I told Granny Tianhua everything about my relationship with Jiang Jiuzhen and how I ended up living in Xiyuan Apartment. Of course, I also told her about Wang Jiuyang.
"What? Jiang Jiuzhen is dead! ... How did he die? Tell me!"
An anxious look appeared on Granny Xiaohua's face.
I said frankly, "I don't know how Jiang Jiuzhen died. When I first moved into Xiyuan Apartment, he was no longer there, and it looked like it had been many years. The landlord told my neighbors that Jiang Jiuzhen was dead, so that's how I found out about it. As for the rest, I don't know."
Perhaps she still didn't quite believe me, so Granny Tianhua said in a deep voice, "Well, since you said that the 'Yin Yang Soul Transfer Notes' is in your hands, then take it out and show it to me."
For me now, I have mastered the fragments of the divine map and controlled the red lacquer coffin, so the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes are not that important to me. Since Granny Tianhua wants to see it, let's show it to her.
Then I took out the Yin-Yang Soul-Ferrying Notes from the cloth bag and handed it to Grandma Tianhua.
When she saw the Yin-Yang Soul-Ferrying Notes, Granny Tianhua was also very surprised: "It's really the Yin-Yang Soul-Ferrying Notes!"
She simply flipped through the Yang Duhun Notes, and then said to me: "Yang Tianyi, I still have great faith in your character. After all,
We experienced the incident of the woman who fell into the cave together. But Jiang Jiuzhen is dead. I don’t believe it no matter what. How could he die when he was so powerful? And as far as I know, his life span is more than a hundred years. How could he die so easily? This is impossible. "
I was very surprised when I heard this. I didn't expect Jiang Jiuzhen to live for more than a hundred years. If that's the case, Jiang Jiuzhen might not be dead. But where did Jiang Jiuzhen go if he didn't die? Why didn't he go back to Xiyuan Apartment? It has been empty for a long time.
This is what makes me suspicious.
"So what you mean is... Jiang Jiuzhen is not dead yet?" I said in surprise.
Granny Tianhua nodded and said, "If no one had harmed him, I believe he would not have died for no reason. After all, he is a ghost-catching Taoist priest, and he has mastered the Yin-Yang magic, and can judge cause and effect and avoid disasters, so I say he is not dead."
"And you just happened to get his things. Maybe he had something urgent and left the apartment temporarily."
After hearing so much, I had more questions in my mind.
After thinking about it, I have guessed that Granny Tianhua must have had a connection with Jiang Jiuzhen, otherwise she would not know so many things.
"Grandma Tianhua, how do you know so many things?"
I asked, puzzled.
Then Grandma Tianhua told me about her experience with Jiang Jiuzhen.
What I didn’t expect was that Granny Tianhua actually loved Jiang Jiuzhen back then.
But after she expressed her love, she was ruthlessly rejected by Jiang Jiuzhen. Jiang Jiuzhen told her that he was a prodigal, a drifter, and had no plans to start a family, and could not give Granny Tianhua the love she wanted... ...
Their story sounds quite sweet, but amidst the sweetness, I can feel the bitterness in Grandma Tianhua's heart.
After a long silence, Granny Tianhua looked at the sunset in the distance and said to me, "Yang Tianyi, I believe you. You won't harm Jiang Jiuzhen. But I also hope you can promise me one thing."
"What's up?"
I asked a little nervously.
Granny Tianhua said pleadingly, "I hope you can help me find Jiang Jiuzhen and let me know where he is!"
I didn't expect that Grandma Tianhua still loves Jiang Jiuzhen and is still thinking about Jiang Jiuzhen.
This is incredible. You know, Granny Xiaohua is already married and has a granddaughter.
I didn't want to make Granny Tianhua sad, so I said, "Okay, Granny Tianhua, I'm willing to help you find Jiang Jiuzhen."
Granny Tianhua was in tears at this time. She cried, "Okay, okay, thank you Yang Tianyi. If you can really find Jiang Jiuzhen, then you will be my benefactor. I am already this old and have no more extravagant hopes. I just hope to see him again."
I was deeply moved by Grandma Tianhua’s words.
It seems that some feelings will never be forgotten even in a lifetime.
Afterwards, Granny Tianhua told me about her past experiences.
When Grandma Tianhua was told by Jiang Jiuzhen that she would never be with her, she became very sad, left Jiang Jiuzhen and returned to Miaojiang.
After returning to Miaojiang, Granny Tianhua had no intention of finding another man, but her parents threatened to kill themselves and forced her to marry a Bai Miao wizard in Miaojiang. Granny Tianhua had no choice but to follow her parents' wishes.
Later, she stayed in Miaojiang, had children, and became a Bai Miao wizard...
