I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

The next day, there was a gentle breeze and only a faint warm sun.

Bai Zhi and her three siblings arrived at the Zhuo family's mausoleum. This mausoleum was built very grandly on the hilltop of the Zhuo family. It was surrounded by evergreen trees. Even in winter, the scenery was beautiful.

Bai Zhi didn't understand and asked, "Are all members of your Zhuo family buried here?"

Zhuo Yao had been walking behind Bai Zhi, looking at the pearls above her head without moving his eyes away. Hearing her question, he immediately answered: "No, only the closest sects are buried here."

"There are so many people in your clan, so many clansmen, my head was so big when I remember it!" Bai Zhi complained.

Zhuo Hong snatched the words, "The princess doesn't know something. The greatest advantage of the Zhuo family is that they have many heirs! At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Zhuo family was just a small family, but Zhuo Gongzu was so beautiful that he had twenty-eight children in his life. , ten women, and Zhuo Gongzu’s outstanding ability, he naturally arranged a good way out for the children, so that the Zhuo family grew stronger!"

Bai Zhi was stunned, no wonder these ancients always talked about spreading branches and leaves. In this clan culture, large numbers of people can actually bring benefits to the family, and even develop to the point of causing harm to the country and chaos to the government.

Bai Zhi thought of something, "What if there is a man who has no children?"

"Don't say you have no children, even if you only give birth to a daughter, after his death, all the money, land and house will be taken back by the family." Zhuo Yao replied.

Bai Zhi was a little surprised, "Then if this man still has a wife, don't these things belong to his wife?"

Zhuo Yao heard this and sneered, "What are you thinking! How could you give it to this woman!"

Zhuo Ling added: "If this woman has a good relationship with the family, then with the help of her clan, she may still have a good death. If she is disliked by others, it will be hard to say. The clan may even take her away." Get out of here!"

Bai Zhi's scalp went numb when she heard this. After all these links, she was destined to rely on her husband and son for the rest of her life!

These wealthy families are like this, isn't it especially true for the royal family?

If she wants to be with Meng Ying, she has to think about this for him, which makes Bai Zhi feel melancholy and confused.

Bai Zhi followed them to pay homage to Mrs. Zhuo and quietly pulled Zhuo Yao over, "Can you do me a favor?"

Zhuo Yao raised his eyebrows and said, "Say."

"Do you know where Xiao Yang's mother's tomb is?" Bai Zhi came closer and whispered. She didn't want Zhuo Ling to hear it, for fear that she would think of unhappy things.

Zhuo Ling looked at the extra sacrifice she had brought, how could he not know what she was thinking, and walked away in a funny way.

Zhuo Yao was stunned when he heard this. He thought it was a good thing, but he still answered honestly: "I know."

"Then show me the way."

Zhuo Yao suddenly felt that this was not a bad thing. He could at least see her more before leaving, "I'll take you there!"

"No, no, no...just give me the direction..."

"I'll take you there! So much nonsense! Let's go!" Zhuo Yao walked forward without saying a word.

Bai Zhi had no choice but to chase after him.

The tomb of Xiao Yang's mother is in the back hill. It is said that all the servants of the Zhuo family are buried in this place, which can be regarded as being blessed by the ancestors of the Zhuo family.

It's just that the mountain is a bit big. By the time she reached the tomb, Bai Zhi was already a little tired.

However, the tombs of servants of the Zhuo family are scattered all over the place, so it's really hard to find them. Zhuo Yao asked Bai Zhi, "What's Xiao Yang's mother's name?"

"My name is Xiao Wei." This name was what Yue Jun told her. Xiao Yang had never mentioned his mother's name.

The two searched for a while and searched all the tombs, but they did not find the tomb named Xiao Wei. They only found an unnamed tombstone surrounded by grass and no signs of care.

The two of them stood in front of the tombstone with confused expressions on their faces, "Is it this?"

"Yes..." Bai Zhi looked at the small words "Zixiao" carved in the corner of the tombstone, and there was also an erased handle next to it.

"Why don't you finish the carving? Why don't you carve his mother's name on it?" Both of them were confused.

Zhuo Yao touched his chin and thought for a while, "I guess Xiao Yang doesn't know his mother's name."

"Ah?" Bai Zhi was shocked.

"I once heard from my father that the Nanmanzi people had no names. They were raised like livestock and kept in dark rooms. When a woman reaches a certain age, she will be assigned to a strong man to give birth to a child. The child will be killed, and the child will be taken away, and the woman will continue to be kept in captivity. It is like breeding livestock, so they will not give these people names, only numbers, and they will brand the numbers on their bodies. "

"I remember that Xiao Yang's mother always called herself a slave. When she saw my mother, she would always lie on her stomach and kneel..." Zhuo Yao recalled.

Bai Zhi: "..."

Oh my God! Bai Zhi felt that she had simply underestimated the level of beasts in this group of people.

Even calling them beasts is useless.

Bai Zhi didn't know where the name "Xiao Wei" came from. Maybe it was her original name, or maybe it was given by someone later. In short, it would be so sad if Xiao Yang didn't even know his mother's name!

I don’t know how Xiao Yang is doing...

Bai Zhi felt extremely uncomfortable. After lighting the incense, she bowed earnestly and was extremely pious.

When Zhuo Yao saw tears on the roots of Bai Zhi's eyelashes, his heart suddenly softened. He also lit three sticks of incense and placed them in front of the tomb.

Then he took out his sword and carved the word "Xiao Wei" on the tombstone with a few swipes.

This set of operations was so smooth that Bai Zhi was stunned. She asked in surprise: "Don't you hate Xiao Yang's mother?"

Zhuo Yao sneered, "When did I say that I hate her! It's my mother and my sister who hate her, and it has nothing to do with me!"

"Then you don't hate Xiao Yang?!" Bai Zhihu's eyes lit up.

Zhuo Yao looked at the brilliance in her eyes, and his heart was filled with ripples. He swallowed and said "um" from his nasal cavity.

A smile instantly broke out on Bai Zhi's face. Not everyone in the world disliked Xiao Yang, was afraid of Xiao Yang, and regarded him as a scourge. She was sincerely happy for Xiao Yang.

Zhuo Yao paused and then said, "Why do I hate him! He is the direct disciple of the famous sword master in martial arts! He is very strong! In the end, it is all my father's fault! It was he who promised his mother a pair for the rest of his life. If you can’t do it, you can’t even level your own backyard! What kind of man are you!”

Zhuo Yao did not hesitate to praise Xiao Yang. He might not be convinced by other things, but Zhuo Yao was sincerely convinced by his swordsmanship.

The gloom in Bai Zhi's heart was swept away by Zhuo Yao's praise, "If Xiao Yang could hear it, I don't know how happy he would be!"

"If you like it, I can say it again in the future. It's not impossible..." Zhuo Yao suddenly said something secretly.

Bai Zhi was inexplicably moved. She laughed sincerely, her smile as bright as a flower, "Thank you! Zhuo Yao!"

The two of them did not take the main road when going down the mountain, but chose the nearby rugged path. Bai Zhi accidentally twisted her foot.

Seeing this, Zhuo Yao squatted on the ground, "Come up!"

Bai Zhi was a little hesitant and said coyly, forget it.

Zhuo Yao was anxious, "What are you afraid of! I won't take advantage of you! Come up quickly! Do you want to spend the night on this mountain?"

Bai Zhi had no choice but to jump on Zhuo Yao's back.

The sudden weight made Zhuo Yao's body sink, and he said, "Are you a rabbit?"

After saying this, I remembered that such a scene seemed to have happened in Heifeng Village.

It's like an eternity.

Bai Zhi also recalled it with emotion, "Do you really want to leave? To the north?"

"Ah."

Zhuo Yao's one-word answer made Bai Zhi's eyes sore. She knew that he gave up his assigned fate and chose to go out instead of living in the fortress built by the Zhuo family to trap him.

He wants to break free and follow his own path.

Bai Zhi choked and said, "Then I'll see you off tomorrow!"

"No!" Zhuo Yao refused sternly.

"Huh?" Bai Zhi was puzzled.

"I'm afraid I can't help but kidnap you!"

Bai Zhi snorted, "Do you dare? I am the princess!"

"I really thought about letting you go with me..."
