Gu Immortal Returns

Chapter 41 Mrs. Sheng passes away
"Hongzhang, if we don't go home, why did you bring me to this Gu Immortal Temple?"

"Mom, because Jinlan is too ill, I heard a gentleman say that she should be placed in the Gu Immortal Temple so that she can recover faster."

"But this is the Gu Immortal Temple, is it the place of the witch? Jin Lan can't be here, the witch wants to harm Jin Lan."

"Mom, the witch is dead and the clan leader has escaped. Now the village is under my control and no one can harm Jinlan."

Mrs. Sheng stood outside the Gu Immortal Temple, looking inside.

He saw me sitting on the altar table.

Sheng Hongzhang hurried forward, "Jinlan, come down quickly, this place is not good!"

I opened my eyes and looked at Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng said to Sheng Hongzhang: "Let Jin Lan come down quickly."

I walked down from the altar table and came to Mrs. Sheng's side.

Because my brother told me in advance that when he saw Mrs. Sheng, he would pretend to be Jin Lan to reassure Mrs. Sheng.

Looking at the kind-hearted old lady Sheng, I remembered how anxious she looked that day when she was punishing Jin Lan for being disrespectful.

"Mom - I'm fine. Why are you back?"

"Let's go home, it's not good here."

After saying that, he took my hand and prepared to leave.

Sheng Hongzhang immediately said: "Mom, Jin Lan is not fully recovered yet and cannot leave here now."

"Why? You can go home if you are sick!"

Mrs. Sheng looked at me, and I didn't know how to answer Mrs. Sheng.

"You are not Jinlan!"

Mrs. Sheng remembered that the witch asked me to possess the end of the year. What did she seem to understand?
"Which girl are you?"

"Mom, I'm Jinlan!"

Mrs. Sheng insisted that I was not Jinlan. She looked at me sadly, "Where did you and the witch get Jinlan? How could you be on Jinlan's body? Where is my Jinlan?"

I couldn't answer Mrs. Sheng, Sheng Hongzhang immediately explained

"Mom, she is Jinlan, how could she not be Jinlan?"

"You don't have to lie to me. I know the character of the witch. She kidnapped Jinlan after Niandi's death. It must be for Gu Immortal's sake."

Mrs. Sheng covered her heart in pain.

She couldn't control it anymore.

"My poor Jinlan can never go back..."

Mrs. Sheng's body fell straight backward.

Sheng Hongzhang and her brother immediately supported Mrs. Sheng.

My brother said to me, "Nan Xing, brother will be back soon, don't be afraid!"

I nodded, Sheng Hongzhang carried Mrs. Sheng on his back, and my brother supported Mrs. Sheng and ran towards the old house.

Mrs. Sheng fell ill again.

I blamed myself so much that I sat at the altar table at night without saying a word.

Seeing me like this, my brother came to me and wanted to comfort me.

I forced a smile to my brother and said, "Brother, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

The miko knew that if she didn't find her body, she wouldn't be able to stay in this world for long.

The witch came to a nearby village and prepared to find a new target.

Two days later, my brother and I were sitting at the Gu Immortal Temple. My brother told me that Feng Qing would come back with his senior brother in a few days, and then I would be able to leave here.

I am also waiting, hoping that they can arrive at Poqiao Village soon.

The witch changed her body again. She was not in a hurry to enter the village. She needed to find a way to take me out of the village safely.

The witch finally thought of poisoning the only water source in the village.

Mrs. Sheng has been ill for two days, and her health has become worse day by day.

Mrs. Sheng called Sheng Hongzhang to her side, and she held Sheng Hongzhang's hand tightly.
"Hongzhang, since Jinlan married into our Sheng family, she has always done her duty. I never thought that Jinlan would be harmed by a witch. I still don't know whether she will live or die. You promise mother, if you can save Jinlan, you will definitely save her." return."

After hearing what Mrs. Sheng said, Sheng Hongzhang nodded seriously.

Mrs. Sheng continued: "Mom may not survive for a few days. If Jin Lan really can't be saved, then you can renew your relationship! I don't think Jin Lan will blame you. After all, our Sheng family cannot live without an heir."

"Mom, don't say such things now. Take good care of yourself. My son won't let you die. Mom, you will be fine."

I sat on the altar table and watched the sun gradually set in the distance.

I walked down from the altar table, came to the door, and looked outside.

I always feel uneasy in my heart, as if something is about to happen.

My brother walked up to me and said, "Nan Xing, what's wrong with you?"

I didn't say anything and looked in the direction of the Sheng family's old house. A black air was flying in that direction. "Brother, something is going to happen to the Sheng family. Hurry over and take a look."

My brother followed my gaze and looked towards the west
"Sister, the Sheng family is fine. Sheng Hongzhang is fine now."

"Old Mrs. Sheng is gone——"

My brother doesn’t seem to believe what I said

"Brother, please make your family happy!"

Seeing my urging, my brother had no choice but to go to Sheng's house to have a look.

As soon as I walked to the door of Sheng's house, I heard crying from inside.

My brother entered the gate of the old house, and the housekeeper inside was walking out anxiously.

"Master Sheng, my old lady is gone!"

The housekeeper went out in a hurry to report the news, and his brother entered the old house.

Sheng Hongzhang couldn't control it anymore and cried loudly. Now Jinlan didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and Mrs. Sheng was gone again.

Sheng Hongzhang could no longer control the sadness in his heart
The elder brother did not disturb Sheng Hongzhang and helped the old servant to prepare for Mrs. Sheng's death.

The witch was not in a hurry to take action, she was waiting for an opportunity.

Sure enough, the witch was on the back hill and saw white lanterns hanging on the old house of the Sheng family in the village.

She laughed, the opportunity came.

The body of Mrs. Sheng was placed in the hall of the Sheng family.

The old house has been decorated, and white flags, white lanterns, and elegiac couplets have been hung.

Mrs. Sheng lay peacefully in the vermilion coffin
Sheng Hongzhang knelt in front of Mrs. Sheng's coffin, and her brother stood next to Sheng Hongzhang.

Sheng Hongzhang suddenly turned around and said to his brother
"Brother Lu, can I ask you a favor?"

"Brother Sheng, if you have anything to ask, just ask. I will definitely do whatever I can."

"My mother is gone, Jin Lan - I want my mother to have a daughter-in-law to accompany her to the funeral. I want to ask you if Nan Xing can keep vigil for my mother for just two days!"

My brother looked at Sheng Hongzhang with a embarrassed look. When Feng Qing left, he told me that I would not be allowed to leave the Gu Immortal Temple at will.

My brother was worried about my safety and didn’t know how to answer.

Sheng Hongzhang said: "Brother Lu, I know Nan Xing cannot leave the Gu Immortal Temple at will, but my mother!"

"I will go to the Gu Immortal Temple now, bring Nan Xing here, and let her guard the funeral of Old Mrs. Sheng instead of Jin Lan."

Sheng Hongzhang stood up and saluted his brother.

My brother came to the Gu Immortal Temple.

"Mrs. Sheng is gone?"

The elder brother nodded, "Nan Xing, Sheng Hongzhang wants you to replace Jin Lan and keep vigil for her mother."

My heart suddenly seemed to be stabbed by something, and Jin Lan's memory came to my mind again.

I covered my head in pain.

"Brother, my head hurts..."

When my brother saw that I suddenly had a headache, he quickly came to my side and carried me to the altar table.

"Nan Xing, are you okay! Nan Xing——"

My brother was panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do. He didn't know how to deal with my current situation.

I covered my head and was covered in cold sweat.

It took me a long time to recover.

My face turned pale.

"mother--"

I yelled and passed out.

My brother was frightened and quickly checked on me.

After a while, I opened my eyes.

"Nan Xing, how do you feel?"

"Brother, I want to go to the Sheng family!"

"You are not in good health now and cannot leave here."

"Brother, my body has the memory of Mrs. Sheng, and Jin Lan wants to fulfill her filial piety."

I looked at my brother weakly.

My brother felt sad, but my body belongs to Jinlan after all.

The elder brother nodded, "Brother, go and carry you. If there is any problem, I will bring you back right away."

After I agreed, my brother picked me up
