Chapter 366 Mysterious Origins, Crisis in Miao Territory
He was so nervous that his tongue was tied in knots, and he really couldn't figure it out.
How did I suddenly become Li Meng's "Brother Lan Xiang"?
When Daya saw Xiaoman's plea for help, she went over and gently patted Limeng on the back.
"Li Meng, don't cry. Let's talk this out slowly. You've almost scared Xiao Man into not knowing what to do!"
Li Meng heard Da Ya's voice.
She gradually stopped crying, but still held Xiaoman tightly, refusing to let go. She simply looked up at Xiaoman with teary eyes, her gaze full of dependence.
"You must be Brother Lan Xiang! I can't mistake you!"
"No, I'm not!"
Xiaoman hurriedly explained, "My name is Xiaoman, Su Zilong, from Sujia Village, not Lan Xiang as you say!"
"You are it! You are it!"
Li Meng said confidently, and reached out to take the half of the jade stone from his neck.
"This jade belongs to Brother Lan Xiang, and the sacred Gu in your body is also a sacred object that can only be found in the sacred land."
The reason the Abdominal Gu disappeared was because it was devoured by the Sacred Gu!
Only the sacred Gu of the holy land can devour other Gu worms!
With all these things combined, who else could you be but Brother Lan Xiang?
Xiaoman was stunned by what she said, her mind a jumbled mess.
Jade, sacred Gu, sacred objects... these words swirled in his mind.
It reminded him of the solemn words his mother spoke when she handed him the jade when he was a child.
"Man'er, even if the string on this jade stone breaks, you must string it back together and wear it on your body..."
At the time, he assumed his mother was afraid he would get rid of it.
He just didn't expect that this jade would lead to this series of events.
He looked at Li Meng's tearful eyes, and then at the jade stone in Li Meng's hand.
His voice was hoarse as he asked, "You...you said I'm Lan Xiang?"
Li Meng nodded heavily, tears welling up again, this time tears of joy.
"Yes! You're the Lan Xiang brother I've been looking for!"
Xiaoman still couldn't believe it. "But I've lived in Sujia Village since I was little. How could I be the Lan Xiang brother you're looking for?"
He looked at Daya: "Daya...I..."
The others in the room finally realized what was happening.
Shanzi stepped forward and said, "Xiaoman, if what Li Meng said is true, then there's probably more to this than meets the eye!"
Xiao Lie also said, "Didn't Xiao He just say that?"
You weren't born in the village. Uncle Maoshun and Aunt Maoshun went to visit your maternal grandmother, and brought you back with them six months later!
Shi Zi chimed in, "Xiao Man, could it be that Uncle Maoshun and Aunt Maoshun found you when they came back?"
Then they'd take you back to the village and say you were born at your maternal grandmother's house!
Xiaoman was stunned upon hearing this.
He opened his mouth as if to refute, but the words wouldn't come out.
He felt that all of this was so absurd.
Xiaoman was still standing there, her mind a complete mess.
Big Head, however, stroked his chin and took over the conversation.
"I think this matter concerning Xiaoman is probably very close to being true."
He turned to look at Li Meng, his eyes filled with a hint of doubt.
"Li Meng, are you really sure that Xiao Man really has that so-called Holy Gu in her body?"
Didn't you say that it was a sacred object of your Miao ethnic group?
Why did the sacred object appear on Xiaoman?
Li Meng raised her head, tears still clinging to her eyelashes, but her eyes were filled with unwavering determination.
"There is no mistake. The Sacred Gu is the treasure of our Huaxi Village. Only the Holy Maiden can bestow it upon us and make it our own."
Foreigners would find it difficult to even catch a glimpse of the Sacred Gu, let alone possess it.
Just now, I probed into his dantian and clearly sensed the aura of the Holy Gu.
That aura was exactly the same as the aura in the holy land; there was absolutely no doubt about it.
Everyone was silent.
Shanzi suddenly spoke, and his words silenced everyone.
"So, could it be that Xiaoman... isn't Uncle Maoshun and Aunt Maoshun's biological child, but rather someone they picked up on their way back?"
"how is this possible?"
Shi Zi was the first to jump up and refute.
"Uncle Maoshun and the others are so good to Xiaoman."
When he was little, I would always carry him up the mountain to pick wild fruits.
My parents have never been this good to me before!
Daya frowned as well: "Shanzi, you can't just say things like that!"
Once a seed of doubt is planted, it cannot help but take root and sprout.
Everyone turned to look at Xiaoman, their eyes revealing a complex mix of emotions.
If what Li Meng said is true...
So Xiaoman's background probably holds some unknown secrets.
Xiaoman felt extremely uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, her mind buzzing as if countless little bees were flying around.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but no words came out.
Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Shui'er softly suggested, "How about... we go home again?"
Ask the elders in the village; they might know something.
Perhaps they can find the answer there.
Upon hearing Shui'er's suggestion, Shanzi nodded and said, "Yes, that's the only way. So let's go back and ask right away."
Xiao Lie then remembered that they had just been planning to go to the Spirit King's place.
He quickly asked, "What about the Spirit King?"
The Empress is still unconscious. If they all go back, who will check on the Spirit King's current condition?
After a moment's thought, Daya made the decision: "Then let's split into two groups."
Those who want to go back with Xiaoman and Limeng can go with them.
Xiao Lie and I will go check on the Spirit King first, and then we'll go back.
No one objected, and they quickly split into two groups.
Xiaoman and the others hurried towards where the people of Sujia Village lived.
The villagers of Sujia Village now live in a courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
Xiaoman and the others returned to the courtyard where everyone in Sujia Village was staying and asked the elders, briefly explaining the whole story.
After hearing this, a complex emotion flashed in Grandma Su's and the others' cloudy eyes.
She shook her head and said, "I can't say for sure about that."
When Maoshun and his wife brought Xiaoman back to the village, Xiaoman did look like she had just been born.
Maoshun said Xiaoman was born at her parents' home, but we didn't ask for details. However…
She paused, as if recalling, "Maoshun's wife always said that Xiaoman had a special constitution and was difficult to raise. Back then, she really suffered a lot in order to treat his illness."
The other elders nodded in agreement, chattering amongst themselves, but none of them offered any substantial clues.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Li Meng suddenly spoke up: "Brother Lan Xiang, do you know why I was able to come out to find you this time?"
Xiaoman looked up and asked, "Why?"
Li Meng's voice deepened: "Because of the Blood Python Granny in the Sacrifice Cave."
A year ago, Blood Python Granny suddenly led her people to attack our Huaxi Village.
We were caught off guard, and many people were killed or injured.
Finally, the Holy Maiden arrived and drove them away, but she herself was seriously injured in the process.
