After seeing the death scenes of Yaya and Granny Bai with his own eyes, Meng Zhou was shocked in his heart, and various conjectures emerged in his mind.
However, because there is so little information, all speculations can only remain guesses, and it is impossible to confirm the root cause of the two deaths.
The thoughts in Meng Zhou's mind were spinning, and in his field of vision, the image of Granny Bai's grocery store began to speed up again.
Yaya was getting smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and not long after, the time went back more than 20 years.
At this moment, Yaya has turned into a swaddling baby.
at some point.
"It's now."
The image of the fast reverse flow slowed down.
Granny Bai at this moment is not as old as she was on the day of her death.
She was holding a little baby in her arms and appeared on the street at Wanwei, with neighbors greeting her.
From time to time, people came up to talk to her, and at the same time, they curiously looked at the baby who was held in Granny Bai's arms and wrapped in swaddling clothes.
This is the scene when Granny Bai brings Yaya back from outside for the first time.
Because of the special rules at the end of Baiyue Bay, in order to ensure that the house where they live is not taken over by outsiders, every household will try their best to raise an "heir" who can establish a family before they grow old and become incapacitated.
But the real situation is that whether a biological heir can practice cultivation is not an inevitable event, but full of randomness.
Therefore, occasionally a neighbor would go out and bring back a baby, or bring back a child, claiming to be his heir, and everyone would know what was going on, and everyone would tacitly maintain this unspoken rule together.
Therefore, no one thought it was inappropriate for Granny Bai, an old woman living alone, to suddenly bring back a "granddaughter".
No one would break the casserole and ask to the end, explore Yaya’s past roots, or ask her face to face, “Where did you get this granddaughter from?”
Everyone agreed that the baby was Grandma Bai's granddaughter.
At this moment, Meng Zhou became interested in "breaking the casserole and getting to the bottom of it".
He escaped from Baiyue Bay and followed the trajectory of Granny Bai's return with Yaya in her arms.
The trajectory of the two people was getting closer and closer to the edge of Cuiyu Lake. Granny Bai, who was holding a baby and "retreating" quickly, finally "retreated" to the junction of Cuiyu Lake and Baijiang River, fell into a small courtyard, and "retreated"
"In a bedroom.
In this bedroom, there was a woman in her early thirties who had just given birth and was lying on the bed, holding a baby girl and breastfeeding.
Next to the bed, there was a silent, middle-aged man in his forties with a rather weathered complexion sitting there.
Grandma Bai was waiting quietly beside her.
The baby girl fell asleep sweetly under the woman's breast-feeding. Then, she silently and carefully wrapped the baby girl into a clean and soft swaddle.
During this process, the bedroom was very quiet.
However, when the woman wrapped the baby girl and carefully held her in her arms, drops of crystal tears fell on the swaddling clothes.
After the woman wrapped the baby girl, she turned around and handed it to Granny Bai's arms.
Grandma Bai took the baby girl and listened very carefully to the woman's introduction to feeding matters.
After a while, she carried the baby girl out of the small courtyard.
And this baby girl is Yaya.
Seeing this situation, Meng Zhou was a little surprised.
However, from their brief exchange, plus a lot of information that Meng Zhou knew, they confirmed each other, and they basically knew what was going on.
In order to ensure that the secret method of "Blood Heir Cleansing Spirits" can continue, Yan Zhuang made some arrangements before leaving.
The "Yan Family", which is in everyone's sight and has a large number of strong foundation builders, has been put on the bright side to attract firepower and attention from all sides.
Those bloodline heirs who were not noticed by others were quietly transferred and dispersed by him, keeping their names anonymous.
But this approach is not really very clever.
Once the head of the "Yan Family" is destroyed, and forces like the Mo Family that covet the Yan Family's "Xingxiu Palace inheritance" spare no effort to track them down, it will not be difficult to find traces of the scattered "remnants of the Yan Family"
thing.
In order to deal with it, the "remnants of the Yan family" must try their best to spread the bloodline and "infiltrate" as much as possible into various places in Cuiyu Lake where practitioners live.
For this reason, Yaya became Granny Bai’s granddaughter.
After tracing to this point, Meng Zhou solved some doubts, but some more doubts were added in his heart.
Meng Zhou was ready to leave this place and return to Baiyue Bay to continue tracking and searching.
At this moment, Meng Zhou had removed his ability to look back in time.
In the field of vision, the appearance of the bedroom has changed drastically.
Not only have the furnishings become almost completely different, but the floors and walls have also become older.
The nursing woman, the silent man, Granny Bai, and the baby girl who were still in sight at the last moment naturally disappeared.
Instead, there was a half-hundred-year-old woman sitting at a low table by the window, her head lowered and silently doing needlework.
Meng Zhou was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then he came to his senses.
My eyes have fallen back to the present from more than twenty years ago.
Meng Zhou's eyes fell on the woman by the window.
Although there have been many changes, her appearance is much older, and her hair is gray, Meng Zhou can still confirm that this is Yaya's biological mother.
Well, to be more precise, she is the biological mother of Yaya who was born as a human girl.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhou couldn't help but pay more attention to the current situation of this family.
This attention made Meng Zhou feel like "this world is so small."
…
"Mom, we are back."
A young man of eighteen or nineteen years old entered the house.
Although this man is not very old, he exudes a peculiar spirit of vigor and vigor. This is a special temperament that can only be possessed by being immersed in rivers, lakes and seas all year round.
The woman who was doing needlework by the window quickly put down her work, walked out of the bedroom, and walked toward the door.
At the same time, in another room, a girl aged thirteen or fourteen also trotted out.
"Brother, dad, are you back?"
The girl and the woman came to the door in one step and welcomed the young man and a skinny old man who was silently following the young man into the house.
Like a puppy, she was busy walking around the two of them, but her eyes were fixed on the storage bag on the old man's waist.
Finally, after everyone returned to the living room, under the girl's expectant eyes, the old man took out two fresh spiritual fish and handed them to her hands.
However, when she saw the spirit fish, the expectation in the girl's eyes turned into disappointment, and she said:
"Dad, didn't you say there were green clam beads?"
The young man next to him explained to the disappointed girl:
"Little sister, you can't blame dad for breaking his promise.
Just because the quality of those green clam beads far exceeds our original estimate, and several of them already have first-level mid-grade quality, they are not suitable for you to use as playthings.
Moreover, it would be a disaster for such a valuable thing to remain in our hands.
Therefore, we have just sent those green clam beads to the Baijiang Gang."
"Did you just go to the Baijiang Gang?"
The girl's attention had been diverted from the green clam bead matter, with a worried look on her face.
The Baijiang Gang is certainly not worth mentioning in the eyes of the real big forces in Cuiyu Lake, but to their family living here, they are as important as heaven.
Seeing that his sister and mother both looked worried, the young man smiled and comforted:
"Mom, little sister, don't worry, it's not a bad thing.
Because the green clam beads we presented are valuable, and our family is an old man who knows everything.
Gang Leader Xu not only received us in person, but also gave us very generous favors."
In the expectant eyes of the two people, the young man said:
"We have been allocated a small independent house on Maple Forest Island, and our family can live on the island in the future.
My father and I were both allowed to join the river patrol team, so we no longer need to wake up early and work late at night to catch fish.
Because Dad has rich experience and is very familiar with the surrounding water conditions and fish conditions, he directly serves as the ship's mate... In name, he is the ship's mate, but the real captain basically does not board the ship.
So, he is the actual leader of the team."
"Little sister, you don't need to practice behind closed doors in the future. There is a Dharma transmission hall of the Baijiang Gang on Maple Forest Island, which is dedicated to teaching the cultivation of potential young disciples in the gang.
From now on, you can go there to practice, and you can ask other people for advice if you have any questions.
If you perform well, you may even get full support from the Baijiang Gang!"
"Little sister, don't take this seriously and think it's just a simple painting.
Whether you can break through to the later stage of Qi training in the future, or even reach the realm of foundation building, this is the opportunity closest to you!"
The girl said suspiciously:
"Brother, please don't lie to me.
As far as I know, Leader Xu of the Baijiang Clan is only at the seventh level of Qi cultivation. Where does he get the opportunity to build a foundation?"
The young man shook his head and said:
“Although Gang Leader Xu’s cultivation is not too strong, he has a background from his wife’s family.
If not, the turmoil in the Mo family back then was enough to bury the entire Baijiang Gang, so why do they still exist today?
Don’t think too much, just understand that as long as you perform well enough, the Baijiang Gang can build a ladder for you to reach the sky!”
"I understand, brother."
The girl no longer had the slightest doubt and nodded gently, but her expression contained determination.
While the brother and sister were talking, half a hundred women did not interrupt.
However, when she understood that her family would soon move away from here, she suddenly felt a little sad in her eyes.
"Mom? What's wrong with you?"
The girl keenly felt her mother's emotional changes.
"No...it's nothing. It's just that I've been sewing for too long and my eyes feel a little uncomfortable." The half-hundred-year-old woman rubbed her eyes, but in turn comforted her two children.
The old man, who was quieter and more silent than the woman, had already come to her side and gently held her hand.
The brother and sister looked at each other silently. Although their parents didn't say anything, judging from their expressions, they basically knew what was going on.
Because they knew a long time ago that they also had a sister who died young.
This sister, who was said to have died shortly after birth, was the deepest pain hidden in the hearts of both of them.
"Ah." The girl suddenly exclaimed softly.
The three people with different thoughts looked at her one after another, but they saw her reaching out to touch her belly.
Seeing that her family members were all looking at her, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
Just now, she felt a warm current spreading all over her body centered on her lower abdomen, making her shiver and even let out a soft cry.
However, this inexplicable feeling came and went away even faster.
Seeing her father and brother looking at her, she felt a little embarrassed and shy, and hurried into her room.
Seeing this, the woman followed her daughter into the room and asked in a low voice some private topics between women.
The old man and the young man had dispersed and were busy with their own affairs.
…
Meng Zhou left quietly, just as he came quietly.
However, before leaving, he quietly sorted out the girl with the best bones and the most plasticity.
In this girl, Meng Zhou saw some shadows of Yaya.
"If Yaya hadn't died, she would probably have looked like this when she was thirteen or fourteen years old."
Meng Zhou will not have any more interactions with this family. For this family, they are also eager to completely cut off from the past.
"So be it."
…
After returning to Baiyue Bay, Meng Zhou began to "fast forward" through the life after Granny Bai took back the baby girl Yaya.
Gradually, Meng Zhou discovered the problem.
When Yaya grew up from a swaddled baby girl to a two or three-year-old girl, Yaya didn't show anything special.
No different from any other ordinary little girl.
Until, under the influence of her ears and eyes, she learned Granny Bai's technique and successfully tied a complicated knot.
Gradually, Yaya showed more and more amazing talent in knotting ropes.
Her talent in this area did not appear suddenly or fall from the sky, but seemed to improve continuously as she continued playing with ropes and tying ropes.
And since Yaya turned six years old, the situation has become increasingly strange.
One day, without anyone's guidance, she ran around alone, walked out of the cross street, and came to a raised stone wall that few people usually passed by.
Then, without the guidance of anyone or any sign, she discovered the inscriptions carved on the stone wall that recorded hundreds of knots.
Even if other people see such carvings on the plane, it would be difficult to immediately associate them with the knot method. Instead, they would think it is meaningless graffiti.
But Yaya naturally "read" the information.
At this moment, Yaya's knotting skills are already very good, and she can knit various small animals with ropes, all of which are lifelike.
So, as if she had found a new pleasure, she tried to use the knotting method to reproduce the correct way of knitting the carvings on the stone wall one by one.
Something even weirder happened.
After returning, Yaya did not hide her discovery from Granny Bai.
That night, Granny Bai was still very surprised and said that she would also go and have a look tomorrow.
But as soon as they woke up after a night, the attitude of the mother-in-law and grandson towards this matter suddenly changed.
Granny Bai was no longer curious about the stone wall, she seemed to have known about its existence for a long time.
She even thought that her method of knotting was learned from this stone wall.
Yaya also assumed that all she knew about Shibi was from Granny Bai.
Quietly, such a change occurred. Meng Zhou, who looked back in time and saw this scene, felt a creepy feeling in his heart.
He carefully looked back and forth several times before ruling out any weird properties in the flattened raised stone wall itself.
"It seems that while the two were sleeping, their respective cognitions had undergone unknown adjustments and deviations under the influence of some invisible force."
And this is not the biggest problem.
Until Meng Zhou "fast forwards" the trajectory of the two of them to the moment when he himself arrived at Baiyue Bay and Yaya and Granny Bai died.
The biggest strangeness was clearly displayed in front of Meng Zhou.
From the time Yaya was carried in swaddling clothes by Granny Bai and entered Baiyue Bay to the night Yaya died, in her short life, she had never heard of the person "Bai Zhi".
Granny Bai never said to Yaya, "You also have an aunt named Bai Zhi."
Before Meng Zhou came to visit, Bai Zhi had never existed in Granny Bai's grocery store and in the hearts of Granny Bai and Yaya.
But when Meng Zhou suddenly came to the door and mentioned this name, Granny Bai and Yaya behaved as if their memories were loaded with information about this person at the same time.
"That's not right, actually I didn't get any information about Angelica dahurica from them.
What they really showed were two completely opposite extreme emotions.
Granny Bai's attitude towards Bai Zhi is indifference and rejection.
But Yaya's emotional dependence on Bai Zhi is a true and pure attachment to her family and relatives."
Meng Zhou went back in time to the scene when he first visited Granny Bai's grocery store, and repeatedly observed the various behaviors of Yaya and Granny Bai during this period.
"The problem is not with Yaya, then it should be with Granny Bai."
With this in mind, Meng Zhou wanted to trace the traces of Granny Bai's past.
At this moment, Meng Zhou felt a sense of exhaustion and exhaustion in his heart.
Meng Zhou knew that this was a sign of too much mental exertion on his part.
Today, he was eliminating traces of himself and tracing back to the origin of Yaya's line, which consumed a lot of energy.
To trace the traces of Granny Bai, we must go back even further in the past, which will consume even more energy. This is not something he can support in his current state.
"Take a rest first."
With this thought in his mind, Meng Zhou used Five Elements Escape and dived deep into the earth.
Thousands of meters underground, Meng Zhou found a hidden, small underground cavity.
Taking out the trophies obtained from Yanzhuang, a set of third-level high-grade formation flags were arranged around them.
Soon, this small underground space, which was originally very hidden, completely disappeared.
Unless a peak-level pill-forming expert comes in person and breaks in at close range, no one will be able to detect anything unusual here.
With the golden lotus clone of the earth spirit guarding him outside, Meng Zhou quickly fell into a deep sleep.
There was a slight, continuous sound like thunder in the body.
When Meng Zhou woke up, he felt comfortable, refreshed and energetic again.
Putting away the entire set of formation flags, Meng Zhou quietly escaped to the surface again.
Going back in time quickly, I soon found the traces of Granny Bai again.
Then, continue to go against the timeline and go back further in time.
The earlier the date is traced, the greater the burden will be on Meng Zhou's soul and mental strength.
However, Meng Zhou became more determined in his thoughts.
As time goes back more than thirty years, Granny Bai's appearance becomes younger and younger.
Looking at the younger version of Granny Bai, Meng Zhou felt more and more strange in his heart.
Vaguely, Meng Zhou saw the shadow of another person in this young Granny Bai.
That person is Bai Zhi.
However, it is not Bai Zhi, who is sleeping in Meng Zhou's sea of consciousness at this moment, and is so stunning that she does not look like an ordinary person.
But when Meng Zhou looked back in time to ambush Yanzhuang in the Gray Mist Mountains, he saw the more Xiaojiabiyu and the more down-to-earth Bai Zhi of the Qi Realm.
Although, Bai Zhi also disguised her appearance at that time.
But after getting along for a long time, Meng Zhou has also understood that Bai Zhi's otherworldly appearance and temperament, just like the fairy in the painting, are not born this way, but have a gradual change process.
Especially after she broke through the foundation building, her true body changed more and more.
Before that, although her appearance was stunning, it was not shocking to the world.
The disguises she made at that time were all done while retaining her own characteristics and reducing points.
Meng Zhou saw in this young version of Granny Bai some traces of Bai Zhi, who was once a Qi practitioner.
Meng Zhou speculated on the possibility.
When time goes back to a certain day, Meng Zhou followed Granny Bai's trajectory and escaped from Baiyue Bay quietly.
Across more than half of the Jade Lake, we arrived at another island.
The young version of Granny Bai "backed up" to a small courtyard in the dark night before dawn.
Sitting on a bed, he seemed to be thinking about something. He lowered his head and sat silently for a while, then lay down straight on the bed.
Then, Meng Zhou saw a scene that shocked him.
I saw the younger version of Granny Bai, whose appearance had some traces of Qi-training Dahurica dahurica, turned into a completely unfamiliar middle-aged female cultivator.
Because time is running backwards now, the real situation is that on this small island far away from Baiyue Bay, there is a strange female nun who has nothing to do with Bai Zhi. She is unconscious.
, his true appearance has undergone tremendous changes.
Then, she woke up in the darkness before dawn and suddenly sat up.
She just sat quietly on the bed for a while, lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Then, with a drastically changed face, she crossed most of the Jade Lake, arrived at Baiyue Bay, and moved into the small courtyard where Bai Zhi once lived.
From then on, I lived with a new identity.
