Chapter 17: The Jade Flower of the Preserved Home

  Northeastern Wild Fairy Tales Record

  As Cui Xiaobo saw his wife, who had been with him for over thirty years, through thick and thin, sleeping in the same bed, supporting each other for over thirty years, now lying in a pool of cold, piercing blood, he was overcome with grief, crying out to heaven and earth as he rushed over.

  The Second Master also saw the old lady Hui Xian by the side of the kang at this time, and although he was surprised in his heart, it was also within his expectations, yet beyond his expectations. He had expected that Hui Xian would come seeking revenge, but he hadn't expected her to come so quickly, and in just such a short span of time, someone had already lost their life.

  In the past few years, he had a feeling that the world might be in chaos. The appearance of Hu Huang and Chang Tian was not surprising, but the sudden reappearance of the long-lost Cai Xian was unexpected, and its ferocity was astonishing. Lives were lost, and it all seemed so brutal.

  "Injustice has its mastermind and debt has its owner. As a fairy, how can you indiscriminately kill the innocent?" My Second Uncle questioned Grey Immortal Old Lady.

  Glancing at my Second Uncle, the old lady Grey Immortal said nonchalantly: "I'm willing to kill whoever I want, what business is it of yours? You must be that person who gave them the inverted blessing character. I observe that you're also a disciple of the Horse God, why are you helping ordinary people deal with us?"

  "I am indeed Ou Ma's disciple, but I also cannot watch you slaughter the innocent. It seems that today we must have a showdown. But do you know that this family's master killed your family in unclear circumstances? That was also due to reasons of their own. How can you indiscriminately kill without distinguishing between right and wrong?" My Second Master asked with an icy expression.

  At this time, Cui Xiaobo on the ground saw the scissors in his wife's hand and looked at Hui Xian standing over there. A surge of hot blood to avenge his wife rushed into his head, he picked up the scissors and charged towards Hui Xian with a loud "Wu".

  Seeing Cui Xiaobo's movement, my second master had the heart to intercept, but unfortunately Cui Xiaobo's speed was too fast, and before my second master could make a move, he had already arrived in front of Hui Xian.

  But he came quickly, and went back quickly. Only to see that Hui Xian was not paying attention at all, and with a slap, he hit Cui Xiaobo, who was rushing over. Not only did the scissors fly out of his hand, but his entire body was also like being hit by a heavy hammer, flying up into the air, retreating and falling to the ground with a "wow" sound, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood onto the ground.

  His eyes revealed a helpless and powerless expression, unable to avenge his wife. However, seeing his wife's dead eyes that refused to close, Cui Xiaobo felt as if an iron nail was piercing his heart, one stab at a time. The pain was so intense that tears streamed down his face.

  "You good-for-nothing people, if you don't confess, I'll make your whole family go down to accompany my poor child." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at my second uncle, continuing: "Since you are a disciple of the Outrageous Horse, I won't make things difficult for you. Today, as long as I kill the murderer, vent my anger, and avenge my child, it's considered settled. If not, then you're truly asking for death, don't blame me."

  Seeing Hui Xian still insisting, my Second Master also took a deep breath. One dead and one injured, they were all lying on the ground, yet he still wanted to continue killing people. This was someone from the Xian family that I knew, this was something not even animals would do.

  Just now, I still had some respect and awe for Hui Xian, after all, it was a long time since I had contact with the immortal family, and it was inevitable that I would have some respect and fear for them in my heart. But at this moment, seeing Hui Xian being so overbearing, the mud man still has three points of anger, let alone a person with flesh and blood?

  His eyes revealed deep sadness and difficulty, looking at the gray fairy standing in front of him at this moment, my second master finally made up his mind. His left hand unconsciously pressed heavily on the fairy pulse with his right hand, the fairy pulse is connected to the fairy family, which is the connection between my second master and the fairy family, also known as the guardian fairy, the pulse left by the fairy after my second master became a disciple of the fairy.

  From now on, as long as something happens, he can just use his strength to pinch the Xian pulse and invite out Ma Xian to help him solve the problem. At this time, my second uncle saw the action of Hui Xian towards Cui Xiaobo earlier, and also knew in his heart that he was not an opponent, only inviting out Ma Xian who is also a member of the Xianmen can solve this matter.

  Just after my second uncle finished pinching the acupuncture points, I saw that he had changed completely, not in terms of his appearance, but in his expression and the aura surrounding him.

  First, he looked around at his surroundings with both eyes, then fixed his gaze on the gray immortal in front of him.

  "Hey, there's another person from the Gray House. What's going on? Is this person on the ground someone you killed?" A slightly effeminate voice with a playful tone, yet unmistakably feminine, rang out.

  It was indeed a woman's voice, not a man's voice, and it wasn't a familiar voice either. At this moment, the person in front of me was no longer my Second Uncle, or rather, the one controlling my body now was no longer my Second Uncle.

  But it was the Hu San Tai Nai enshrined on the ancestral tablet in their home, to be precise, this fox spirit attached to my Second Uncle's body at this moment is named Hu Cui Hua, who is the third generation disciple of the Hu family.

  The third generation of disciples in the Hu family is considered a young generation.

  After Hu Cuifang arrived, she simply took a glance and knew why her junior apprentice had called her over.

  Hui Xian saw Hu Cuihua arrive and knew that this matter might not be so simple after all. So, without being polite at all, he said: "Hu, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't get involved, or else it will make things difficult for everyone."

  "You bunch of mice who only dare to show their tails, what's wrong with your life that you still want to bully me?" Hu Cuihua said loudly.

  Upon hearing such arrogant words, Hui Xian's gloomy face broke into a cold smile as he said: "Good, good. I didn't think that our Hui family has been out for so many years, yet you Hu family are so arrogant. It seems we've been hidden for too long, and you've forgotten the ferocity of my Hui family."

  "Don't try to intimidate me with your family's power, I'm telling you, this matter ends here today. I'm not going to get any benefit from it either, so why don't you just leave now and avoid us having to go through a scene? Although I'm not afraid of you, I also don't want to be at odds with my own kin." Hu Cuihua said this and then stopped looking at her, instead turning her head to look at the white fox standing on the kang. The white fox, seeing Hu Cuihua looking at her, also stopped standing there and turned around to return to my arms.

  Hu Cuihua's eyes also followed the white fox's shadow, looked at me a few times, but didn't continue to look at this face, instead continued to speak to the hesitant gray immortal standing there: "You've already killed one, I don't want to say anything more. Even if there's hatred, when people die, it's like a lamp being extinguished, and that should be the end of it. If you don't leave now, you really will have to fight me again."

  Hui Xian's expression, which had been hesitant and uncertain after hearing Hu Cuihua's words, was now fixed on the person in front of her from the Hu family. She herself wasn't even part of the clan to begin with; if something really happened, she estimated that no one would come to avenge her either.

  Moreover, the grey-robed man with an uncertain identity gave a profound glance at the white fox in my arms and finally let out a deep breath. He said to Hu Cuihua, "Alright, I'll spare this family's lives since we're from the same root. However, although they can avoid capital punishment, they cannot escape corporal punishment."

  After finishing speaking, with a venomous gaze in his eyes, he looked at the remaining three people of the Old Cui family. His eyes fixed on Cui Xiaobo lying on the ground with an inexplicable fierce and ruthless look. A gloomy voice echoed in the room: "This family will be cut off for three generations, I curse."

  "You..." Hu Cuihua heard the cursed voice and was about to explode in anger, but just as the four words "die without offspring" were spoken, Hui Xian's body had already dissipated like a wisp of smoke, leaving behind only the three words of my curse floating and swirling in the room.

  Hui Xian has left, and the house fell into a dead silence. The old Cui family was also stunned, staring blankly as they thought about the curse Hui Xian uttered before leaving.

  After a few minutes, it suddenly burst out together, and the wailing was not at all excessive. Especially Old Cui, who had never thought that in the end, he would still harm his own daughter-in-law to death, and now he is also being cursed with no descendants.

  A pair of old hands slapped on the kang, with tears streaming down their eyes, wailing and crying out: "What kind of evil did I commit in my previous life? Why is heaven treating me like this in this life? Oh heavens..."

  But Hu Cuihua saw the people in this house, and didn't know what to say either. Although they had saved the lives of this family, the curse of the Gray Immortal had been laid down.

  For the time being, there was no good solution, and under helplessness, he hastily left.

  As Hu Cuihua and Gui Xian left, everyone in the house had recovered. Cui Xiaobo crawled to his wife's body, silently shedding tears. The old Cui couple on the kang were also silently overcome with grief, for a time they were submerged in the pain of losing their daughter-in-law, and also haunted by an inexplicable fear.

  With the departure of Hu Cuihua, my second uncle also recovered. During this time, although he couldn't speak, he could hear and see that the old Cui family had become like this, and he was deeply sympathetic. However, human strength is ultimately limited, and in the face of such external forces, it is still too small, so small that even life and death cannot be controlled by oneself.

  I saw him hastily holding the white fox and running down to the ground, coming to my second uncle's side, saying in a low voice but with great urgency: "Second Uncle, I want to go home, I'm scared..."

  My second uncle looked at me, then looked again at the white fox in my arms, but didn't say anything. Instead, he turned around to face Crui Xiaobo on the ground and Old Cui's head on the kang, saying: "Uncle, Xiaobo, you should be prepared for a change of circumstances. The dead cannot come back to life. I'll take San'er home first, then I'll come back to help you think of a solution. First, let's deal with your sister-in-law's funeral affairs... Alas..."

  After finishing, he pulled my hand and walked out of Lao Cui's house. When we returned to my grandmother's house, I also told her about this matter. My grandmother listened and was very sympathetic, but she also knew that this was not something that could be changed by human effort. She just told me that if Second Uncle could help, then try to help as much as possible; if he couldn't help, then there was nothing that could be done.

  And I was planted with a small seed in my heart by the events of that night, waiting for the right time, place and people to grow into a towering tree.
