Chapter 19: The Witch Pupil's Blood Pact
Although Wu Er guessed that his grandmother would be surprised, he never thought that he would be surprised to such an extent, so he slowly told the story of this trip briefly, and the old man's eyes were full of tears when he heard it, and finally he just said softly: "It seems that there is something about the Qili family, it's time for you to know......"
However, before the old man finished speaking, the two suddenly heard a sound of wings flapping in the distance, as if something disturbed the birds resting in the forest, Qi Fuzhen quickly raised the telescope in his hand, and the night sank slightly, and finally saw a group of figures appear in the dense forest on the other side of the lake.
Although this group of mysterious medicine pickers came, what was surprising was that this group of people really walked through the dim dense forest without the help of tools such as lighting, and their bodies were like the wind, even if they held a telescope, they couldn't see it really, and in just ten minutes, the movement in the forest seemed to disappear out of thin air, and the figure could not be searched again.
Seeing his grandmother slowly put down the binoculars, Wu Er asked, "How is it?
The old man shook his head, and he already had a guess in his heart: "This group of people is really weird from the appearance to the disappearance, you can use any lighting tools, maybe they have entered some secret passages or something, and you have to search for it another day." ”
Wu Er stopped: "No matter what, you can't act alone like today, it's too dangerous!"
Looking at the burning and concerned light in his grandson's eyes, the old man grinned: "Okay, promise you, it's okay to call a few more people in the village when the time comes?" After speaking, Qi Fuzhen looked at the sky again, got up and received something: "Let's go, it's not too late, I'll go home and talk to you about some things." ”
Wu Er helped her uphill with one hand, and held Bai Yue with the other, it fell asleep again at some point, maybe it was really as he guessed, Bai Yue and the psychic were extremely mentally draining, so they were more likely to be tired.
It's 9 o'clock in the evening when I get home, the night in the mountains is not like in the city, as long as the sky is completely dark, the kind of tranquility that only belongs to the mountains will touch people's hearts, scattered everywhere with the sound of insects and frogs, and the lights are like flowers dotted on the mountain quilt, so that the mountains and forests sleep peacefully in the world paved with water and clouds, and they will always be so beautiful.
In the hall, the mother-in-law and grandson sat on the old rattan wooden chairs, and the old man slowly handed a few black, white and yellowed photos from an iron box to Wu Er, and there was a string of black crystal-style pendants, but the knot was broken and there were traces of burning. Wu Er looked at the two people in the black and white photo, the dark-skinned handsome young man carried the beautiful girl who was smiling like a flower behind him, and was wading barefoot across the shallow river, even if it was separated by the photo, the sweet happiness still overflowed the picture, Wu Er felt a great thought in his heart, and suddenly tears began to blur his vision.
Seeing him like this, the old man himself secretly wiped the corners of his eyes: " The photo was taken by a reporter who came to the village to promote Materia Medica, so many years have been put and dare not tell you, in fact, your grandmother lied to you, your parents were not divorced and left this home, on the contrary, they love each other very much, live in Shanglu this place, no vulgar things, no worries, at that time, the family's greatest wish is to follow the simple and simple days to live a life, but life is about this, there are always tribulations, there are always things that backfire, happiness comes and goes quickly, when you were more than two years old, there was a fire at home for no reason, your mother died in the fire to save you, but it was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, your father in order to find the real culprit, there was no news from home......" The old man paused, took out another scroll of codex from the box, and continued: " Qili family from a thousand years ago, as long as there are descendants born, the previous generation will inevitably encounter all kinds of misfortunes, like the lingering heavenly punishment, perhaps, it is really heavenly punishment, in the generation of the ancestor Qili Yuntang, the prestige of the Wu clan in the world has reached an unprecedented height, but it is a pity that later, because of the snooping should not have snooped on the heavenly machine, since then the clan is like a curse, either died of death, or serious illness, after a hundred years, when this evil curse finally improved, the Qili family at that time, only Yuntang was left, in such a tragic pain to go through the life, even if he died, how to be blindShe left a last wish, no matter how much the Qili family pays, but also to find a way to get rid of the curse, so in the family from generation to generation in the codex, there have been records about spying on the heavenly machine, but unfortunately the content is unknown, so it has never been possible, to this day, I choose to tell you this, because you are an adult, as a descendant of Qili, no generation has ever given up this will, grandma does not want to see you also fall into this endless curse quagmire, so over the years I have flipped through and compared all the family codex, and found that there are indeed records of the heavenly machine and the five clans, what heavenly machine was spied on by the Wu clan thousands of years ago, the Qili family records are limitedBut if you can find a way to figure out the past of the five clans, you may be able to find more clues, even if it is just to get a little closer to the truth, and there will be more hope for the self-salvation of the Qili family. ”
Wu Er was silent, the expression on his face gradually changed from shock to indescribable calm, he stared at the string of black crystal pendants, as if relieved why he had always had that sudden sense of unease, the fat man also laughed at him This is persecution paranoia, it turns out that the root cause is the curse of the Qili family for generations, after a moment of silence, he only opened his mouth and called: "Baiyue ......"
The white cat opened its eyes from its sleep, its front paws propped up its body, Wu Er knew that she must have listened to her grandmother's words just now, but it didn't hurry to speak, but jumped onto the table, and then turned its head to look at the old man, the blue of the cat's pupils lit up, and flicked the bowl in front of him: "It's better to prepare some bloody food for me, otherwise, I don't have so much strength to finish what you want to know." ”
When Qi Fuzhen heard Bai Yue's voice for the first time, she couldn't help but shake her hands, and hurriedly stood up: "Yes, yes...... The chicken that was slaughtered yesterday happened to have a bowl of chicken blood still in the refrigerator. ”
"That couldn't be better. ”
Wu Er looked at Bai Yue, and suddenly smiled: "Now that there is another person in the psychic, it won't affect your body, right?"
"You have observed carefully, knowing that channeling will consume my spirit, but this situation is not impossible to improve, the moment I was awakened by the blood of the witch clan in your body, a blood contract has been established between us, and for the rest of my life, if you become stronger, I will also become stronger, and if you are injured, I will also suffer, no matter which of our bodies is abnormal, the other party can sense it, so yes, you had better take care of your body, otherwise there will be a ...... in case" Bai Yue half-squatted, deliberately speaking.
"How will it ?......" Wu Er really asked, Bai Yue smiled secretly and continued: "In case you die, although I will be attacked by the blood contract, I will not die like you, and at that time, your physical body will be at my disposal." ”
"That's not good, since we have a blood contract relationship, you should care more about how to train me to become stronger, instead of coveting my body, besides, the Qili family is not trivial, I have a mission. Wu Eryi was stern, deliberately slanting at Bai Yue.
At this time, Qi Fuzhen had already come out with hot chicken blood, Bai Yue licked it lightly, and couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect that the names of the descendants of the Qili family are no longer surnamed Qili." ”
"Oh, today's people are all with their father's surname, and the ancestors have a discipline, not to reveal the surname of Qili, several generations ago has been incognito and lived, only before dying will instruct descendants to include the real name in the family tree, but also because of this reason, many family codex records can no longer accurately correspond to their own life, but also increase the difficulty of exploring the family past. ”
