#325 - Da Xu! Look who this is!
“Moon God Shrine?”
“Who are you talking about?”
The Old Man Under the Moon?
The Moon God is one of the most ancient gods in Heaven, and凌云子 said he is one of the gods you absolutely cannot offend.
This god has an extremely close relationship with the Underworld, yet holds an official position in Heaven, wielding the Crimson Cord and the Marriage Book, two magical artifacts.
It is said that the Crimson Cord is a thread from the Saint's Red Embroidered Ball, while the Marriage Book is a supplementary volume to the Three Lives Stone, a treasure of the Underworld.

Someone who wields such items, could they be ordinary?
No wind without waves, no hole without air. Even if eighty percent of such rumors are false, at least twenty percent must be true.
Moreover, it involves a Saint.
Therefore, the Moon God's identity is definitely not simple.
And there has never been any record of this god interfering in the fate of mortals.
Xu Chengxian didn't believe that Pan Mengdie's life or death could alarm this deity.
“If the Moon God really interfered, I wouldn't have the ability to see through your true form,” he said bluntly.
“Why is the Taoist priest in such a hurry?” Pan Mengdie smiled, “I haven't finished speaking yet.”
“Inside the Moon God Shrine in the East City, there is a Lover's Well, and there is a small dragon in the well,” she said, “It was it that saved me.”
“A small dragon in the well?” Xu Chengxian raised an eyebrow, “A snake spirit?”
The people of Da Zhou are accustomed to calling snakes small dragons.
He knew this because someone secretly called Bai Niangniang the Little Dragon King behind his back.
“Taoist priest, please show some respect,” Pan Mengdie's face turned cold, “My benefactor is now the Well Dragon King of the Lover's Well.”
“...Heh.” Xu Chengxian chuckled meaningfully, then glanced at Pan Anshou and directly asked the woman in front of him whether she was the real Pan Mengdie or a fake.
“Don't even think about deceiving me,” he said, “After we finish eating, I will go to the Moon God Shrine in the East City and bring the Well Dragon King out to ask him clearly.”
“This venerable one will go now!” Da Hei jumped up at this moment, “I'll go and catch that little snake!”
What Well Dragon King? It's just an empty name. At most, it's a snake spirit with some cultivation, with some ability to control water.
It would catch it back and then take the opportunity to beat it up.
“Of course I am the real Pan Mengdie.” 'Pan Mengdie' smiled slightly, calmly saying, “That slut tricked me to the Moon God Shrine that year, disfigured me, and threw me into the Lover's Well.”
“And then?” Xu Chengxian asked again.
At the same time, he felt even stranger in his heart.
This woman had absolutely no reaction to his and Da Hei's conversation, and Da Hei's behavior of going to 'invite' the Well Dragon King from the Lover's Well in the Moon God Shrine.
It was as if she had rehearsed countless times in her mind how to respond to such questions and situations.
“She thought I was dead.” 'Pan Mengdie' sneered, “Unfortunately, I still had a breath left.”
“Since you didn't die at the time, why did you only come back fifteen years later?” Xu Chengxian asked immediately.
“That's because I was too badly injured, and most of my physical body was destroyed. I was truly hanging by a thread,” 'Pan Mengdie' snorted coldly, “That slut…”
“As fellow women, show some respect,” Pan Shouan couldn't help but speak.
He didn't know who the real Pan Mengdie was, but he really couldn't stand the way the person in front of him kept calling people sluts.
If the woman from the Bai family was the real one, then wasn't this cursing his aunt?
If people heard that their close relatives were being scolded in front of their faces, the Pan family would lose a lot of face.
If the person in front of him was the real one, then people would laugh at the Pan family's family style.
“Good nephew, what kind of moral gentleman are you pretending to be here?” 'Pan Mengdie' sneered, “I, Pan Mengdie, can do things like stealing someone's fiancé, and I also dare to ride a horse and trample on other people's spines.”
“It was like this fifteen years ago, and it is still like this fifteen years later.” She glanced mockingly at her nephew, Pan Anshou, and said unceremoniously, “When did it become your turn to discipline me?”
“You!”
“Stop talking about these irrelevant things,” Xu Chengxian waved his horsetail whisk impatiently, interrupting the two of them.
Damn it.
So the real Pan Mengdie is like this?
Then is it really necessary to distinguish between real and fake?
Of course, it is.
The task given by the system still needs to be completed.
“Answer me, why did you only come back fifteen years later?” He repeated the previous question.
This was to tell 'Pan Mengdie' that he was not satisfied with her previous answer and did not accept it.
No matter how badly injured you were, you needed fifteen years to recover?
“Taoist priest is discerning and should be able to see that the injuries to my original form cannot be cured by ordinary medical skills,” 'Pan Mengdie' seemed to have no intention of avoiding this question, “Therefore, my benefactor could only seal me in the bottom of the well with a magic weapon.”
“...” Xu Chengxian couldn't help but have a strange expression when he heard this.
Oh ho, this story gave him a sense of familiarity.
“Not long ago, he begged for a spirit pill for me, which allowed me to return to the human world.”
“...” It was even more familiar.
“Your benefactor actually stole the Great Sage's role.” He couldn't help but mutter.
“Huh?”
“What?”
'Pan Mengdie' asked in confusion.
“It's nothing,” Xu Chengxian waved his hand, “Continue talking about what happened back then.”
He would listen to a story and wait for Da Hei to come back.
“Okay, since the Taoist priest wants to listen, then I will tell you,” 'Pan Mengdie' replied.
“Fifteen years ago, the head of the Bai family was still the young master, a talented young man, attracting the admiration of many young women.” She sat down on Da Hei's chair, placed her elbow on the back of the chair, and slowly began to talk about the events of that year.
Then, Xu Chengxian heard an old story of a winner in life.
Simply put, it was about a rich and idle young master, with a good family background and a kind heart, who had been betrothed to a woman named Lin Rumeng since childhood.
Although the Lin family had declined, leaving only an orphan girl, he was still willing to fulfill the marriage contract.
The Bai family did not need to rely on others, and he was their only son, so they naturally followed his wishes and prepared to arrange the marriage for the two of them.
At that time, many women were heartbroken, and Pan Mengdie was one of them.
However, she was not willing to give up and even wanted to ride her horse and run over Lin Rumeng, but she failed.
“Someone like you has a professional term called a vicious female supporting character,” Xu Chengxian, who had originally stuffed the horsetail whisk into the back of his neck and was peeling an egg to eat, couldn't help but say when he heard this.
“According to normal development, someone should have saved the beauty next.”
“What hero was there? She… I was stopped by a little beggar.” 'Pan Mengdie' chuckled, “Alas, although I crippled him, it ruined my plan.”
“Later, I couldn't quell my anger and even had people roll him up in a mat and throw him into the mass grave to feed the dogs.”
“…He didn't die at that time?”
“He's alive,” 'Pan Mengdie' laughed, “He even wanted to crawl over and beg me to let him go. Hmph, that ungrateful thing, so dirty and smelly, dared to come near me, so I whipped him again.”
“Madam, madam, please don't listen anymore,” Prefect Pan sat uneasily, giving his wife a look, signaling her to take their son away quickly.
Lest they further defile their ears.
“I'll settle the score with you later!” Madam Pan pinched him and dragged her son away angrily.
The little Taoist priest and the little monk's gazes towards 'Pan Mengdie' changed at this time, and they all clenched the chopsticks in their hands.
They seemed ready to stab this beautiful woman to death with their chopsticks.
“What about Lin Rumeng? Didn't she save that little beggar?” Xu Chengxian asked.
“What could she save him with?” 'Pan Mengdie' said, “She could barely protect herself, yet she wanted to be a living Bodhisattva? If Bai Wenyu hadn't arrived quickly, she would have died too.”
Bai Wenyu should be the name of the Bai family's young master at that time, and the Bai family's head now.
“Wait, that's not right.” Xu Chengxian realized a problem and was about to ask it when he saw Da Hei rush in and shout: “Da Xu! Take a look at who this is!”
