Gu Immortal Returns

Chapter 38 Jinlan’s body, my soul
Fengqing continued: "I am sure that your sister can come back to you."

The elder brother could only endure it for the time being and wait for news from the miko.

The people sent by the clan leader to search for the witch found the corpse of the witch behind the mountain after her spirit had left.

The villagers did not dare to take the body back to the village rashly. They returned to the village and told the clan leader about the discovery of the body.

When he heard that the body of the witch was found, the clan leader immediately asked someone to carry him to the back mountain.

The body had become rigor mortis and looked like it had been dead for a long time.

The clan leader looked around, hoping to see the witch, but the witch had already left, and the clan leader didn't notice anything.

He asked people to search around to see if the witch had left any clues for him.

People searched again for a long time, but nothing was found.

The clan leader stood in front of the corpse and sighed helplessly. He seemed to understand that this time the witch left, his power in the village was about to end.

The patriarch said to the people around him:

"Bury the body!"

The clan leader knew that the miko was definitely not dead and would be back soon.

After the ancestral hall was built, Sheng Hongzhang hosted a banquet for all the villagers outside the ancestral hall two days later.

The patriarch is naturally among them, but today he is not the protagonist. Everyone is surrounding Sheng Hongzhang and praising him.

The sun shines on the newly built ancestral hall, and the people around are smiling and saying auspicious words to the people around them.

In the cheerful crowd, my brother sat aside without saying a word, drinking one cup after another.

No one knew that such a beautiful scene would be broken.

The witch's soul has been guarding outside the cave. She also tried to find another body, but because her soul was injured, she failed to take it.

The witch looked at the cave in front of her, still surrounded by white silk. She was about to think of a way to break the poisonous silk in the cave.

A ball of red light rushed out of the cave. The witch couldn't avoid it and was hit by the red light. The witch almost lost her soul. In order to stabilize her soul, she had no choice but to leave me and fly towards the distance.

After the red light dissipated, my body finally returned to normal.

I stretched out my feet and took a step forward.

Then I slowly walked out of the cave, and the dazzling sunlight made me unable to open my eyes.

I stood outside the cave and waited for a long time before slowly opening my eyes.
The scent of the witch disappeared from the surroundings, and I was finally free.

The sun shone warmly on my body, and I finally felt alive again——

I took a step forward and felt this body quietly.

There seemed to be a voice in the dark, always directing me to move forward.

When I stood in front of the ancestral hall in the village, everyone present was so surprised that they were speechless.

"Jinlan——"

Sheng Hongzhang ran towards me quickly.

The moment I saw Sheng Hongzhang, Jin Lan's memory came to my mind, and I bent over in pain.

"Jinlan, you're back, great, you're finally back."

Sheng Hongzhang hugged me tightly. I had a splitting headache, as if my body was about to be split apart.

My brother walked up to me and looked at Jin Lan's body in front of me. Although he was happy for Sheng Hongzhang, he still felt indescribably sad.

Feeling my brother's breath, I looked up at him.

I tried hard to open my mouth,

"elder brother--"

I reached out and grabbed my brother.

My brother didn’t know Jin Lan and didn’t reach out to hold the hand I offered.

When I saw my brother, I could no longer control my body and fell into Sheng Hongzhang's arms.

When the patriarch saw it, he was so frightened that he stood up immediately. He looked at the people around him and didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

Fortunately, seeing me pass out gave him time to find a solution.

The witch disappeared and I returned to the village. Naturally, the patriarch was very scared. When I woke up and revealed that it was the patriarch and the others who kidnapped me, Sheng Hongzhang would definitely pursue the case.

The clan leader immediately excused himself from feeling unwell and had someone carry him back home.

The patriarch and several people are discussing how to solve this matter.

Sheng Hongzhang picked me up from the ground and immediately took me back to the old house.

Lying on Sheng Hongzhang and Jin Lan's bed, the barefoot doctor was taking my pulse.

In order to avoid suspicion, the elder brother stood at the door of the house. "Don't worry, Hongzhang! Jin Lan is just weak and will wake up soon."

The doctor prescribed some medicine and told Sheng Hongzhang to boil it and give it to me to take.

I was in a coma for two days
In the past two days, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the village. The patriarch suddenly left with his family on the pretext of visiting an old friend who was dying.

Now that the village is no longer under the jurisdiction of the clan leader, the elder brother can enter the witch's home.

At the shrine maiden's house, my brother saw the jade pendant I was wearing when I disappeared and my birth date placed on the table.

The clan leader was not in the village, and the villagers did not need to be afraid of the clan leader. He told my brother in detail what happened after I was brought to the village.

After hearing this, my brother wished he could burn down this sinful village.

Ever since my brother learned about what I had endured in the village, he had always stayed by Jin Lan's side, not wanting to avoid suspicion.

He wanted to ask about my whereabouts after Jinlan woke up.

Feng Qing never left, and when I appeared, Feng Qing looked even more shocked.

He clearly saw the aura of the Immortal Family in me, and knew that I was no longer an ordinary mortal.

When I stretched out my hand to my brother and called him.

Feng Qing was even more certain that this body belonged to Jinlan, but the soul in the body was mine, Lu Nanxing.

Feng Qing looked at the happy Sheng Hongzhang and the disappointed brother, and didn't know how to tell them about this.

He was standing outside the door at this time, looking at Sheng Hongzhang who had been guarding the bedside and his brother who looked sad and angry.

In a daze, I seemed to feel my brother.

I try to open my eyes
When I saw the familiar figure of my brother, I couldn't control it anymore, and tears burst into my eyes instantly.

"elder brother--"

I reached out to my brother again, and Sheng Hongzhang grabbed my hand.

"Don't be afraid Jinlan, I'm here, I'm here!"

When Sheng Hongzhang touched my hand, I looked at Sheng Hongzhang.

Jinlan's memory came back again.

"I'm not Jinlan, I'm not your wife, brother...brother..."

Feng Qing immediately entered the room, looked at me who was almost crazy, stretched out his hand and pressed on my neck.

I passed out again.

"She is not Jinlan."

After Feng Qing finished speaking, he turned around and looked at his brother.
"She is Lu Nanxing——"

After Feng Qing finished speaking, his brother looked at Feng Qing
"The soul in her body is your sister, and your sister is back!"

The elder brother looked at Feng Qing in disbelief.

"Sir, what do you mean by that?"

"I can confirm that the soul in the body is your sister, but the body is Jinlan."

Feng Qing's words were difficult for Sheng Hongzhang and her brother to accept.

But my brother still rushed to the bedside

"Nan Xing, is that you? Brother is here. I'm sorry, brother is late. Nan Xing..."

Sheng Hongzhang immediately asked: "What about Jin Lan? Who is she? How could it be that the body is Brother Lu's sister, where is Jin Lan?"

Feng Qing shook her head, "I guess she cried like this just now because she couldn't bear the memory of Jin Lan's body, so she acted like this."

"Then is Jin Lan dead?"

"You will only understand everything when Nanxing wakes up."

"Sir, please save Jinlan and bring Jinlan back."

"I will try my best, but it still depends on Nanxing's recovery."

Now that Jinlan is back, Master Sheng has been worried about Jinlan, and her illness has become more serious in the past few days.

Sheng Hongzhang didn't care who was inside Jin Lan's body, he still sent someone to inform Mrs. Sheng of Jin Lan's return.

He also asked people to tell Mrs. Sheng that Jinlan was captured by people from the village and was not harmed, so that Mrs. Sheng could rest assured.

Mrs. Sheng learned that Jin Lan was back and her health was indeed much better. She persisted and had people take her back to the village.

But he was stopped and told that Sheng Hongzhang would come back with Jinlan after finishing the village affairs.
