I turned around and saw that the Seventh and Eighth Masters had gloomy faces, which was indeed a bad omen. The Eighth Master always had a sad face, while the Seventh Master was usually smiling. If he had a gloomy face with us, it would definitely be bad news.
"Stop talking nonsense. We two brothers are here on the orders of the Chief Executive!" said Master Qi, frowning.
After hearing this, I was completely disappointed. The Chief Executive personally ordered them to come here, of course, to arrest us. Damn him, I didn't expect it to be so fast, and there was no time to perform the shapeshifting technique.
Shen Bing's face turned pale as well, and she looked at me in panic. I walked up to the two brothers and asked in a low voice, "The Chief Executive wants to arrest me?"
Master Qi shook his head and said, "It's not that. I'm relieved immediately." Shen Bing patted his chest and was almost scared to death.
"What's that?" I asked in surprise.
Mr. Ba said with a dark face: "The Chief Executive asked us to come and get Xiaoxue Meibao."
Oh, it's just a small matter. You didn't tell us earlier and scared us. I thought that the Chief Executive might attach great importance to this magic treasure and went to Baihua Valley to ask Zhang Hanxue for it. Now that this thing is in my hands, Mei Ruoqi must have spread rumors in his ears, so he sent the Black and White Impermanence to take it back.
So I took the Meibao out of my pocket, peeled the moxa leaves and handed it to Seventh Master. Although this was related to whether Xiaoxue could have another chance to reincarnate, but Seventh Master and Eighth Master came to ask for it in person, how could I not give it to them
When Qiye took the Meibao in his hand, he immediately looked relieved and smiled. He told me, "We were worried that you wouldn't give it to me at first, but now it's good. It saves us from the embarrassment."
Shen Bing smiled and said, "Look at what you said, Master Qi. What do you want that we won't give you? In fact, what we are worried about is that you are here to capture us and take us to the underworld."
The two brothers were stunned and asked hurriedly: "What have you done wrong again?"
Ah, what have we done wrong? How come you don't know? I said, "Didn't we smash the blood jade in Gansu and let the people of Life and Death Sect find a secret to combine the three taboos into one..."
Without waiting for me to finish, Master Ba nodded and said, "We knew about this a long time ago. The Chief Executive urgently summoned all the judges and directors of the various management offices for a day-long meeting that day. This matter cannot be considered your fault. The Gate of Life and Death has known this secret for a long time and will crack it sooner or later."
Qi Ye followed up by saying, "It was because of this that the Chief Executive sent us two brothers to get Xiao Xue's magic treasure. It is said that these two magic treasures of your great grandfather and Xiao Xue can restrain the three major taboos."
So that's how it is. The trouble will not be pursued, and there is still hope of solving the three major taboos. I felt relieved.
But I was concerned about Xiaoxue's reincarnation, so I asked the two brothers quietly, "The Meibao was taken away, Xiaoxue..."
Without waiting for me to finish, Master Qi said with a sullen face, "Xiaoxue is dead!"
What?! Shen Bing and I were so shocked that we almost jumped up when we heard this. We looked at each other and found it hard to believe that this was true. But what came out of Qi Ye's mouth was definitely true.
"When did Xiaoxue die? Will she be reincarnated?" Shen Bing asked nervously, grabbing Qi Ye's sleeve.
The Seventh Master and the Eighth Master looked at each other, both with helpless expressions. The Seventh Master sighed and said, "Xiaoxue died less than half an hour ago. When the Chief Executive learned about this, he hurriedly ordered the two of us to come and get the charm. As for Xiaoxue's reincarnation in the future, it depends on how the Chief Executive arranges it."
I suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Master Qi said he was afraid that we would not give the treasure to him. He might be afraid that I would refuse to hand over the treasure because of Xiaoxue's death. Could it be that the underworld was behind this? Otherwise, how could Xiaoxue die suddenly? This was probably because the Chief Executive wanted to use Xiaoxue's soul and the treasure to restrain the three taboos. I'm afraid that the great grandfather who was exiled to Woshi in the northeast would also be recalled. But the fate of the two of them was like this, and they reincarnated just for the three taboos, but it was too unfair to Liu Shan and her husband.
"Then how did Xiaoxue die?" I asked anxiously. If the body was intact, I would have a way to revive her.
But Master Ba said impatiently: "I don't have time to talk to you. We two brothers have to go back and report now."
The Seventh Master patted my shoulder and said, "Go and have a look for yourselves. We are leaving now!" After that, he and the Eighth Master disappeared in a flash and went back to the underworld.
How could I have the mood to open a shop? I quickly opened the drawer where the magic tools were kept, found a Soul-Easing Pearl and put it in my bag, then pulled Shen Bing and hurried to Tanzi Village.
We ran along the river bank to the outskirts of Tanzi Village and heard faint cries coming from the village. In the silent night, the sound was particularly sad and heartbreaking. Especially since we knew who was crying for, we felt even more upset. We ran into the village and arrived at Liu Shan's house. We saw the door was open and the family was around. We heard Liu Shan's heartbreaking cries and we were all heartbroken.
Although Xiaoxue has no blood relationship with us, she has a special bond with our ancestors. In my heart, I have already regarded her as a relative. Although I know that she will have a chance to reincarnate after death, I still feel an indescribable pain in my heart. I turned around and saw Shen Bing, who was already in tears and choked up softly.
I gently squeezed her little hand to ease my tension, then let go of her hand and walked through the gate. The people in the yard were all neighbors, most of whom knew us, and when they saw us, they politely made way.
The room was full of people, all trying to comfort Liu Shan who was crying her heart out. Zhou Jiantao and his parents were like idiots, sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at a small body covered with a quilt on the bed, in a daze and crying. Needless to say, this body was Xiaoxue.
I walked to the bed, patted Zhou Jiantao gently and asked, "What happened to the child?"
Zhou Jiantao suddenly woke up and turned his head. When he saw that it was me, he suddenly pointed at Liu Shan and shouted angrily: "She is the one who harmed Xiaoxue again. Ask her..."
Shen Bing and I were stunned. How could Liu Shan be the one causing trouble again
At this time, Liu Shan looked up and saw the two of us. She squeezed out from the crowd, fell to the ground, hugged my legs and cried, "Xifeng, it's me who hurt Xiaoxue, it's me who hurt Xiaoxue. Can you save her and bring her back to life?"
Shen Bing and I hurriedly pulled her up and made her sit on a chair, but she was crying so hard that she couldn't say what happened. Finally, a relative of her family helped her to tell her how Xiaoxue died. It turned out that she took Xiaoxue back to her parents' home today, but she came back a little late. At the entrance of the village, Xiaoxue accidentally fell and hit her head on a tree, and then she fainted. As a result, she was brought home, but within an hour, she suddenly convulsed all over, foamed at the mouth, and died!
So Zhou Jiantao and his parents put the blame on her. If she hadn't come back late, how could Xiaoxue fall? Liu Shan also felt that it was her fault. She wanted to hit her head against the wall several times, but was stopped by her relatives and friends.
I touched my nose and said to Zhou Jiantao, "Let me see the child. Sometimes this kind of situation is a case of false death. There are even cases of resurrection after being buried in the grave."
Zhou Jiantao nodded quickly and left the bedside to make room. There were so many cases of fake death that even if someone was buried in a grave and resurrected, it would not be discovered until the grave was moved. This was known to everyone. The rule of burial after three days was to prevent this from happening.
I pulled back the quilt, reached out and touched Xiaoxue's pale cheek, then turned back and said to them, "The child can still survive!"
