You Were Born a Nobleman, Chapter 14 Chestnut Soup
As soon as these words were spoken, the entrance was filled with brilliant light, and Tang Zisu nearly panicked. Why didn’t anyone mention that there were voice-activated lights here!
The clan leader immediately led everyone to kneel, saying something about welcoming the Bodhisattva. Tang Zisu could no longer keep up the pretense and instead rambled on nonsensically, even singing the alphabet. The radiant light only dissipated after Tang Zisu finished singing, leaving her eyes teary from the brightness.
In this day and age, it’s not easy for shamans to make a living; their professional skills must be top-notch!
After the worship at the cave entrance was completed, the clan leader walked into the cave with only Tang Zisu.
This cave was long and deep, yet it was not dark or suffocating at all; it felt as if there was always a warm light ahead guiding the way.
Due to her professional sensitivity, Tang Zisu examined the murals on the cave walls. They depicted a war—specifically, a battle between gods, demons, and Buddhas. Due to the passage of time, the details had gradually faded into obscurity.
“Clan Leader, why can’t I see the murals clearly?” Knowing it wasn’t the right time to speak, Tang Zisu couldn’t help but ask.
“High Priestess, originally there is nothing; where does dust come from? You must look with your heart, not just your eyes.”
Tang Zisu thought to herself, you have such lofty ideals with your big eyes; how sophisticated!
It seemed they had reached the end. In the middle of a massive Stone Spring stood a flourishing lotus plant, with a tender bud emerging from its stem. Though it had yet to bloom, its graceful form was already evident.
"Is this the place where the priestess was born?" Tang Zisu felt an unusual familiarity with her surroundings, memories rushing through her mind like flowing sand and stones. She couldn't grasp the main point, but fragments remained—green leaves, white lotuses, beautiful faces... The Malachite necklace around Tang Zisu's neck emitted a soft glow, gently enveloping the flower buds in the spring water.
Her palms, soles, and chest felt like they were burning up; Tang Zisu's body was in painful turmoil, as if something was trying to break free from within.
The clan leader was startled upon seeing her; he quickly scooped up a handful of spring water and poured it over Tang Zisu's head. In an instant, it felt like a light rain soaking into her body, extinguishing all the fiery pain.
Tang Zisu looked around in confusion, seemingly unaware of what had just happened. She pushed herself up from the ground and suddenly burst into laughter: "Clan leader, the ion perm you did for the beard looks so fashionable!"
The clan leader was completely oblivious to what was happening to him. He gestured for Tang Zisu to be quiet and then knelt before the lotus in the spring: "Chestnut Soup, for kidney nourishment, I’ll remember this. Tomorrow I’ll prepare Chestnut Soup for the Great Deity."
Wait, did the clan leader think Tang Zisu was possessed by the Great Deity?
Tang Zisu bit her lip tightly. Clan leader, could you be any more adorable?
Finally emerging from the cave, Tang Zisu was nearly laughing herself to tears because the clan leader kept muttering about Chestnut Soup all the way. Softy watched as Tang Zisu's facial muscles twitched and hurriedly pulled her aside to whisper, "High Priestess, are you okay?"
Tang Zisu leaned close to Softy's ear and said, "Softy, let me tell you..."
"High Priestess, something terrible has happened!" The clan leader suddenly shouted loudly, startling everyone present.
"Clan leader, is the sky falling? Is the ground collapsing? Is 2012 making a strong comeback?"
Naturally, the clan leader didn't understand 2012. He lamented deeply: "I forgot to ask the Great Deity whether Chestnut Soup should be sweet or savory!"
Tang Zisu looked up at the sky, feeling like she wanted to hang herself with a whole noodle. Suddenly, a massive black cloud covered the bright blue sky, followed by a strong wind that blew dust and stones. The clan leader hunched over and shielded Tang Zisu behind him, waving his cane and saying, "The weather is changing; protect the High Priestess."
