Chapter 411: Goddess Of The Jin River
“I’ll go take a look at the Supreme Beauty Pavilion if I have time in the future.” Feiyun said.
Yu Chan was ecstatic to hear this. If the demon’s son were to visit the pavilion, it would shock the entire capital. After all, he was the number one genius of the dynasty. Meanwhile, Lan’er didn’t care too much. She didn’t realize that this was one of the grand historical geniuses that she was such a big fan of.
Feiyun asked: “Right, Miss Yu Chan, what kind of Buddhist scripture are you look for here?”
She was originally here to light an incense but after hearing about old records relating to the divine statue, she decided to take a look as well. That’s why the two of them met in this place.
Feiyun gave her the scroll after hearing this before continuing to find more records about the Jin River.
A while later, Yu Chan finished reading the scroll. She came behind him and asked softly: “Young Noble Feng, what scrolls are you looking for, need my help?”
“I’m thinking about finding old records about the legends near the river.” He wanted to find clues about the statue from the legends.
Yu Chan and Lan’er began to help him. It didn’t take long before Yu Chan carried a turtle shell the size of a head over. There were old writings carved on it. She said: “Young Noble Feng, this one has legends relating to the goddess of the river.”
The words here were extremely ancient, much different from modern writings. Feiyun took the shell and carefully read it.
Rumor has it that a long time ago, before the formation of the dynasty, there was a small village named Duo because there were only two people living there, a woman and her older brother. She was beautiful so she was known as Yueliang and her brother was Dongfang. He was a capable and diligent person, so that’s why people gave him this nickname, just like the rising sun. [ref] Yueliang = moon. Dongfang = the east [ref]
However, one day, the village no longer had just two people since several children were added. People felt that the two siblings related by blood committed incest. Yueliang was no longer pure so someone killed her and threw her down the river.
Dongfang found out after coming home and cried in anguish. So it turned out that the children’s mother was a girl in the next village. The girl was afraid of being yelled at by her father so she hid the children in Duo, not expecting for this to happen to Yueliang.
