The group's favorite junior sister returns to save the whole family of resentful villains
Chapter 193 The Secret Everyone Knows
"Miss Wen falsely spread the oracle, but the mortals in the city were unaware of it and only thought that it was the true God who came and sent down the oracle."
Qi Mingyue revealed the truth of the legend of Wenxiu City over the years: "Mortals respect and fear the gods, and any man with a wife and children in his heart would not dare to gamble with the lives of his entire family."
She laughed mockingly: "Those who are stubborn must have something to hide."
Back then, it was a sister from Hongfang who made this statement.
The new city lord, who had killed the former city lord himself and took the position of city lord, also agreed with her statement.
But among the women who came with them, three or two younger ones were hesitant about this.
So the new city lord made a bet with them.
The new city lord bets that all men who risk the lives of their entire families, disobey the oracle, and refuse to give up power will betray their wives and children, without exception.
The younger women felt that nothing was absolute.
The gambling began.
"In the end, it was the city lord who won."
Qi Mingyue said: "However, she kindly added a rule for the knife bearer. Before executing the man who is determined to take power in Wenxiu City, he must first thoroughly investigate his family situation to avoid wrongful killing."
They are secret knife-wielders born to protect women's rights.
But she was not like the man, who would kill anyone who challenged her authority.
Qi Mingyue stared at Ji Qingzhou with a clear and firm gaze. Her voice was sonorous and resounding: "We, the knife-wielding people, abandon morality and humanity, go against the laws of nature, and cut off our own path to immortality, just to protect the safety of women in the city from generation to generation, so that their fate will no longer be manipulated by others. I hope that sisters all over the world will not be puppets, but just be human beings, and be complete people!"
"Fellow Daoist Ji, I have violated the rules of the Three Sects and Nine Gates. I deserve the death penalty. I am willing to accept the punishment."
Qi Mingyue said in a hoarse voice: "But I admit I am innocent."
"I surrender today to give my other sisters a chance to live. I only ask that Daoist Fellow Ji will let them go after he kills me."
Qi Mingyue said sincerely, "I can assure you, Fellow Daoist Ji, that after I die, there will be no more knife holders in Wenxiu City."
She dismissed the guards in the hospital today and stayed here alone, in order to exchange her own life for the lives of the other knife-wielding men.
"Abandon the city lord."
Ji Qingzhou raised his hand, and lightly tapped Qi Mingyue's knife-holding hand with his fingertips. "I said before that I was too arrogant and looked down on mortals. It seems that you have made the same mistake as me."
Qi Mingyue was stunned.
At this moment, Ji Qingzhou pointed his finger, and Qi Mingyue's knife-holding hand could not help but retract.
"Keng!"
The long sword was actually put back into the sheath!
Ji Qingzhou retracted his hand and said in a calm voice: "Do you really think that the woman from Wenxiu City didn't know about the existence of the knife holder and was only protected by you unilaterally?"
Qi Mingyue was stunned when he heard this.
“The root cause of man-made miracles is that they are people-oriented.”
Ji Qingzhou said: "The legend of Wenxiu City has been passed down for thousands of years because the women in the city are willing to believe in it and promote it. That's why it can be passed down forever."
"For thousands of years, each of you who hold the knife has been able to do things perfectly? There are tens of thousands of women in Wenxiu City from generation to generation. Can each of them be kept in the dark by the knife holder?"
"The knife holder is not the secret of the City Lord's Mansion's knife holder."
Ji Qingzhou looked at Qi Mingyue with deep eyes and said seriously: "The knife holder is an unspoken secret among all the women in Wenxiu City. All the women in Wenxiu City are knife holders!"
Qi Mingyue's lips trembled slightly. She had a thousand words in her mind, but in this inexplicable shock, she couldn't utter a word.
"Don't treat Tianyinmen as fools."
Ji Qingzhou changed the subject and said, "When I first came here, I was curious about the legend of Wenxiu City. If it has nothing to do with me, this matter is quite involved, and I must investigate it."
But this is the city under the jurisdiction of Tianyinmen.
It's related to the Tianyin Sect and there are many people involved. Why wouldn't the Tianyin Sect send someone to investigate?
Monks have many methods, and most of the people wielding knives are just mortals with high martial arts skills, so they will leave some clues.
Ji Qingzhou said: "Even if Fellow Daoist Xiao is unaware, the Tianyin Sect must have known the truth a long time ago, but just like you, they keep it to themselves."
Thousands of years ago, the Tianyin Sect failed to protect Wen Gaofei, so they have protected more women over the past thousands of years.
Qi Mingyue's pupils shrank slightly, and he was surprised and frightened at first, but then he understood.
"I see."
Qi Mingyue's nose felt sore, and he felt a complex and unspeakable emotion weighing heavily on his heart.
Ji Qingzhou handed over the handkerchief and said, "I am not here to punish you today, but I want to ask you something on behalf of an old friend."
Qi Mingyue took the handkerchief she handed over, said "Excuse me", wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and asked again: "What do you want to ask, Brother Ji?"
"On the night of the chaos in Wenxiu City, many women killed their husbands or even their sons out of their own conscience or out of momentary anger."
Ji Qingzhou asked, "What happened to them afterwards? Did what they did that night ruin their lives?"
"Why do you say that, Fellow Daoist Ji?"
Qi Mingyue was surprised: "Since ancient times, Wenxiu City has had the custom of women being in charge. Even though the power has been transferred to men in those years, the spirit of self-improvement has long been engraved in the bones of women in our Wenxiu City. How could they be depressed for life because of a man?"
"Even if a woman is in pain, it will only last for a short time. Mortals are simple and honest, and they only think that life must go on."
Qi Mingyue didn't expect that Ji Qingzhou would ask her such a simple question.
After the day of chaos, most women wiped the blood from their faces, threw the dirt behind them, and walked towards tomorrow.
The desperate women were pulled out of the mud by other women and gritted their teeth to continue their lives.
As time went by, hard work and satisfying harvest drove away the anxiety and sadness in their minds, making them slowly sober and no longer trapped in the past.
In the end, everyone believed that night was a miracle from God.
The gods awakened them from the dreams created by men and pointed out a way of life for them - no, for their future generations.
Qi Mingyue couldn't help but sigh: "That Miss Wen must have understood the strength in the bones of the women in Wenxiu City, so she chose to scrape the bones and remove the poison for Wenxiu City that night."
After a brief silence, Ji Qingzhou chuckled, "Yes, she knows."
She already knew it.
After getting the answer he wanted, Ji Qingzhou took out a sealed bamboo tube from the Tianqing Yulin bracelet and handed it to Qi Mingyue.
Qi Mingyue was startled and took it subconsciously, "What is this?"
Ji Qingzhou looked at her deeply and said, "The place where your bones are buried."
If the scene was changed, or if someone else said it, Qi Mingyue would really think that this was a warning of an attack, a threat to her.
But the person who said this to her was Ji Qingzhou.
After Qi Mingyue was briefly confused, a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head, and he subconsciously said, "This is..."
But before she could finish her words, she suddenly realized that Ji Qingzhou had left without her knowing.
Standing alone in the empty study, Qi Mingyue opened the bamboo tube with trembling hands and poured out a roll of paper.
When you unfold it, you'll see it's a detailed map.
The map ultimately points to the secret realm of Wen Mansion.
It is also a group of tombs hidden underground.
Qi Mingyue's eyes turned red. "Many years ago, the earth dragon turned over, and the burial place of the knife holder was swallowed into the ground. We can't find it no matter how hard we try. I thought... we would never be able to find the whereabouts of our predecessors."
She couldn't help but walk quickly to the door of the study, open it, and look up at the vast night.
He abandoned the bright moon and bowed deeply towards the sky.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ji."
