Chapter 408: Making Wedding Dress
"I beat you to death!"
The man's eyes turned red and he jumped up and slapped him.
Xie Ling spun around to avoid it.
Another kick in the knee.
He was kicked to the ground and rolled several times before stopping.
Xie Ling still had that nonchalant expression on her face, and her tone even contained some concern.
"Eh? I noticed there are mosquitoes on the adults' legs."
Seeing that the man was about to stand up and seek abuse, the leading black-armored guard narrowed his eyes and scolded him coldly: "Stop, we still have a mission."
He saw that his subordinates were no match for this woman.
The man got up reluctantly and glared at Xie Ling fiercely.
Xie Ling did not avoid him at all and confronted him coldly.
"What? There are mosquitoes all over your body?"
Hearing these words, the man actually felt a little fear. He pursed his lips and turned around quickly.
Soon, the black-armored guards disappeared at the end of the street.
All the disciples of Mingyue Island surrounded Xie Ling, very nervous, and called him "Little Master Uncle".
Yu Wei, a grown man, was so moved that he almost cried.
"Uncle Junior Master, you don't have to stand up for me. I, I'm really fine! I beat you until your hand is red!"
Xie Ling put her hands behind her back, not wanting to make them worry.
"It's okay. Are you still not confident in my Kung Fu?"
"No! Apply the medicine first!"
"Yes, didn't Junior Master say that the action of force is mutual? The armor of that dog soldier is so hard."
The disciples who were always well-behaved now stared at Xie Ling stubbornly.
Xie Ling had no choice but to stretch out her hand and let the disciples apply medicine to her.
Okay, she admitted that she was a little impulsive.
It does hurt a bit.
But she couldn't just watch her people being bullied and do nothing.
Xie Ling's eyes gradually turned cold.
"Yuzhen, you and Yuqing change into your normal clothes and go see what's going on. The rest of you come back with me. We'll meet at the old place later."
Yuqing and Yuzhen nodded in unison.
"it is good!"
Xie Ling did not return to the inn.
Nangong Yu could no longer be trusted, so naturally he could not go back to the inn he had arranged for him.
She brought her disciples to the house rented by Doukou.
There was no one at home, not even Doukou and Zhang Minyan were there.
Xie Ling sat at the stone table, her mind full of thoughts.
It seems that the Nangong family is determined to protect Nangong Haitang.
Now the situation has completely changed and she has to think of a new approach.
"boom---"
After an unknown amount of time, the wooden door suddenly opened.
Doukou walked in first, and after a while, Zhang Minyan followed in.
Both of them looked very anxious.
Before Doukou sat down, he said hurriedly: "Sir! How come the goddess is standing up again? Now all the people are going to her place! Wasn't her place deserted yesterday?"
Zhang Minyan continued, "I was woken up by soldiers in the middle of the night last night and told to go to the goddess tomorrow to pay homage and receive ten taels of silver as a reward. From the scene, I guess all the people in the capital were called there."
"what!"
The disciples stared with wide eyes.
However, what surprised them even more was yet to come.
Yuqing Yuzhen is back.
The two were so angry that their faces turned red, they couldn't speak complete sentences, and they kept muttering "how ridiculous"
Xie Ling soothed him, "Don't worry, tell me what happened slowly."
It took them a long time to calm down.
Yu Zhen, who was always silent, pointed at the center of the city and cursed.
"That's too much! It's really shameless! I've never seen such a shameless person! It makes me so angry!"
Yu Qing was still sane, he clenched his fists and said word by word: "Those black-armored guards stole our antidote and gave it to the fake goddess!
The fake goddess is now distributing the antidote in the city center, and people from all over the city are lining up to get the medicine. All our efforts these days have been in vain! We are just making wedding clothes for others in vain!"
"What!?"
All the disciples stood up.
Last night, it only took an hour to research the antidote.
But in order to ensure that every citizen can get the medicine.
Everyone's eyes were red and they were so sleepy that their eyelids were fighting, but they still insisted on boiling the herbs. When they felt sleepy, they would just pour a spoonful of cold water and continue.
But now, they have all become tools for the fake goddess to gain fame and fortune.
If it were someone else they would have no objection.
As long as the people recover, that's enough.
But she is a fake goddess.
The one who caused the people to suffer from strange diseases!
What's more, it was robbed in a humiliating way.
Yu Wei stood up with a dark face, "I can't bear it. Are we too gentle and reasonable, making them forget that Mingyue Island is also one of the four major sects. How many people are willing to pay a fortune for a doctor from Mingyue Island?
"Little Master, let's go and let our Master take charge! Our Master is the most protective of his shortcomings and will definitely help us get justice!"
After hearing this, Xie Ling suddenly sneered.
So it's all a cover?
Giving her the mother poison was just to make her let down her guard.
Then use her to make the antidote to help Xu Haitang?
Xie Ling recalled the way Nangong Yu solemnly promised her.
She really believed what Nangong Yu said at that time.
It turns out that there will be days when I misjudge people.
Xie Ling raised her hand to stop Yu Wei from speaking.
"I am your elder. I will protect you when you are away from home. Don't be afraid. I will seek justice for you!"
Doukou's eyes sparkled, "Sir, just tell me what you want to do! I will follow you till death!"
Xie Ling narrowed her eyes.
She is worthy of being the girl I brought up.
Just understand her.
Xie Ling tapped the table with one hand.
"You should have heard that three years ago, there was a plague in Beijiang and the people were living in misery. A goddess came to the world and saved the people from the disaster."
Zhang Minyan nodded, "I know, the goddess's name is known all over the world, even the Dongling Kingdom is her legend.
But she has been hiding her face with a bamboo hat. The fake goddess is impersonating her, which is why she has so many followers. "
After Xie Ling looked around, he let out a loud thunder.
"That goddess is actually me."
"oh oh."
Doukou nodded and suddenly realized.
Then a sharp cry broke out.
"What! You are the goddess?"
Yu Wei, who was standing beside him, stood up immediately. "It's really you! I said that the only person with outstanding medical skills and who is so indifferent to fame and fortune is Junior Master. Junior Master, I asked if it was you, and you lied to me!"
At the end, his tone still sounded a little aggrieved.
Xie Ling laughed, "If there is any other way, I don't want to expose this identity. It's too conspicuous... I don't like to show off in public."
Everyone was speechless.
Others would like to bear this name and enjoy the worship of all people until the end of time.
She actually disliked it and felt it was ostentatious.
Zhang Minyan yelled, "Why didn't you tell me earlier! Now she not only has the support of the court, but also the antidote, and the people are on her side! If you had told me earlier, I could have helped you build momentum!"
Xie Ling curled her lips, "What's fake is fake, it can never become true."
If that doesn't work, turn to technology.
It will definitely make this group of ancient people happy.
"Listen to me—"
.........
city center.
The goddess sat on a high altar, with long white ribbons hanging around the sides.
Occasionally the wind blew, thousands of sails fluttered, and half of her veiled face was vaguely revealed.
There were musicians playing ethereal music all around, making the atmosphere even more solemn.
There were crowds of people standing below.
Those suffering from worm diseases knelt in long queues.
Those who were not infected with worm diseases worshipped devoutly, and the soldiers distributed silver to them one by one.
The person who received the silver was overjoyed and wanted to kowtow to her.
And those who suffer from worm diseases are the most excited.
As soon as they took the medicine, the moles on their hands disappeared immediately and the wounds stopped itching. The effect was immediate.
Everyone sighed, saying that the goddess was still so powerful.
The doctor from Mingyue Island said that it couldn’t be cured for the time being, but the goddess cured them as soon as she arrived!
Xu Haitang's face was distorted.
Those people from Mingyue Island are really capable. They were able to refine the antidote so quickly, and the effect is better than hers!
Thinking that all the poison he had planted would be destroyed, Xu Haitang clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves and gritted his teeth.
If it weren’t for the people from Mingyue Island, this wouldn’t have happened!
Even my eldest brother...
A rusty taste came up in Xu Haitang's throat, and he was so angry that his vision went dark.
No matter how angry she was, she still took a deep breath, pretended to be gentle and generous, and spoke to the people.
“My fellow citizens, I went out for a trip a few days ago, and when I came back I found out that someone had taken advantage of my absence to throw dirty water on me and pinned such evil deeds on me.
Think about it yourself, if I really had poisoned you, why would I help you to get rid of it?
I think everyone should think about who was the first to discover the poison and find fault with me first...
Alas, the people of Mingyue Island have always been called living gods. Their medical skills are not as good as mine, so I can understand that they are unwilling to accept it, but why do they want to murder the people? You are all innocent! "
Xu Haitang's voice became more and more sad.
"If there hadn't been another plague in the world, I wouldn't have wanted to be born!"
