Chapter Eighty-Three: The Half-Blood Imperial Family
ββ
Sacrificial flag hunting, there is a high platform on the long and solemn stone steps, and on the high platform is a towering altar, the center of the altar has a spiritual pool with a diameter of about one meter, the spiritual pool contains a blue luster, the surface is smooth like a water mirror, although it has been eaten away by the years and does not regain its brilliance, but the guardian array arranged by the Teng Snake clan around is still there.
The upper floor is surrounded by a complex colonnade, and under the colonnade is a pedestal about 10 meters high. The upper part of the pedestal is carved with several large high-relief wall bands connected to the carved stone slabs.
The content of the relief belt is a battle between a giant scorpion and a winged python, symbolizing the victory of the ancient family of the serpent, full of dynamic figures and fierce tension.
On the golden seat above the altar, one hand lazily supports his cheeks, and the other hand outlines the night sea of stars, the clear blue night sky is lined with naturally modified fingertips, like a crystal clear and slender white bamboo shoots, which is extremely moving.
Suddenly, only the sound of whirring and whirring was heard, and the glass cup that was originally placed next to his hand suddenly shattered.
Lazy, who was quietly watching the stars, straightened up, watched the spiritual pool in the center of the altar change from calm just now to the current rapid rotation, his eyes changed several times, and then he looked at the sky.
Only in an instant, the wind and clouds changed, accompanied by a light trembling roar, in an instant, dark clouds were dense, black clouds pressed the sky, and the sky scarlet lightning flashed like a giant dragon, slashing to the earth, as if the earth was going to be divided into two halves, and then a black purple lightning cut through the silence of the sky, and a thunder seemed to wake up the creatures on the earth, and the thick clouds shot down like a silver sword, shooting violently to every corner.
Seeing this seemingly earth-shattering scene, he was first deeply shocked, then lowered his head, hugged his arms tightly, and his whole body trembled slightly into violent trembling, and finally raised his head suddenly, and stretched out his arms into a rampant wild laughter: "Hahahaha-hahaha-hahahaha β
This is the first time I have seen my master lose his usual calm, such a wild and arrogant appearance, and the look of Qihua, who has escaped from Chaoyuan Kingdom, was shocked.
"Bring people up." Lazy finally stopped laughing, squinting his eyes downward, and the white gauze cover seemed to be fluttering, accompanied by wind and clouds, adjacent to emptiness and emptiness.
"Yes."
After a while, Yuhua and one of his men brought a woman dressed in national costume to the altar.
The woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and wore a left and right embroidered top and a barrel-shaped pleated skirt with a black base color and red and light blue stripes in between, forming a contrasting color change, which was both gorgeous and gorgeous.
Her beautiful black hair fluttered down like a waterfall, curved willow eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes that hooked the soul, a straight nose, pink cheeks slightly reddened, dripping cherry-like cherry lips, a flower-like melon seed face crystal like jade, tender snow muscles like ice and snow, a beautiful figure, charming and affectionate, happy and hateful.
It can really be regarded as a rare stunner in the world, but unfortunately the person who escorted her up did not have any feelings of pity and cherishing the jade, and directly stretched out his palm and pushed her to the altar, seeing her look up and staring at the lazy emperor motionlessly, he kicked her naked, and the woman was caught off guard "Uhh
"My emperor, the people have been brought." Yuhua's face was cold, and he glanced at the woman with evil eyebrows, then lowered his eyelashes and stepped aside.
The wind was howling, the chaotic clouds flew through it calmly, lazy in a plain robe fluttering in the wind, like a pale butterfly that had lost its breath in the dark, his expression was indifferent, he looked down at the woman who was kneeling on the ground, and it was rare to show a very shallow, but fireworks-like ethereal and confusing empty smile to people's eyes.
"How to open the secret passage under the altar of the Teng Snake Clan?"
Ji Lan Zhaoxue stiffened when she heard this, she barely supported her slender and boneless body, dressed in a lazy manner, looking at the lazy time, her beautiful eyes flowed, and her eyes were complex, with both awe and fear, but also a trace of love and ...... Heartache, she said lightly: "...... Since you know that I am not the real Teng Snake royal family, but a false name, why do you keep persecuting me? β
"It's true that you're just a fake, but you're from the Snake Clan...... Don't try to lie to me, this is the last time I patiently ask you. β
A pair of delicate eyes with fluttering feathers are slightly bent, and the curvature of the lip flap is smiling lightly, but there is no temperature.
Ji Lan Zhaoxue's face turned pale, she endured the hurt in her heart, crawled towards his feet tremblingly, and laughed sadly: "I didn't lie to you, don't you know?" Moreover...... My brother is still in your hands, how dare I? β
"But I'm ...... Why do you think you're hiding something? A lazy cold voice stopped Ji Lan Zhaoxue's humble and pitiful approach.
Ji Lan Zhaoxue froze for a moment, hesitated for a long time, clenched her fists, and then said: "It's not that I'm deceiving, but I feel that there is no need to say it at all, because there is no Teng Snake Royal Family in this world anymore." β
"Yes or no is not up to you." The two thin pieces of lips curled up a beautiful arc, and said lightly.
Ji Lan Zhaoxue bit her lower lip, and after glancing at him very quickly, she took a deep breath and said slowly: "Actually, there are two ways to open this altar, one is to open it from the internal mechanism, and the other is to use the blood of the Teng Snake Imperial Family to open it, but now these two methods don't work, other than that, I really don't know how to open it." β
"Not necessarily...... You can't, your brother, maybe you can. The lines on Qihua's face were like demon gods, and his red lips were slightly hooked.
When Ji Lan Zhaoxue heard this, she suddenly looked at Qihua, her face was full of horror, her lips trembled, and she asked uneasily, "What are you talking about?" He'sβhe's just an ordinary boy, he doesn't know anything, you ......"
"Yes or no, just give it a try?" Yuhua cut off her words, and after the evil man smiled, he asked the lazy emperor.
After receiving the approval of the lazy emperor, Qihua quickly ordered his subordinates to bring in a little boy who was thin and short, with a pale face and pale purple lips, who seemed to be riddled with illness, he was about seven or eight years old, and wore a very ordinary cloth and green shirt.
"Ahh The crisp and immature teenager's voice was slightly hoarse, screaming anxiously and fearfully.
Qi Hua took a step forward, carried him, grinned his white teeth, and said softly: "Be nice, otherwise wait for the knife to be heavy, and you may accidentally drain all the blood on your body." β
The little boy was dumb with fright, his face was bloodless, his eyes widened, and his clear little face was a little distorted because of helplessness and fear, and his muscles trembled.
With a slight disgust and irony, Yuhua threw him directly to the spiritual pool in the center of the altar, and the small body slammed into the ground so defenselessly that he choked and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Xiaoyun - Xiaoyun - what's wrong with you?!" Ji Lan Zhaoxue was startled, her face changed color in an instant, she struggled to get up and ran towards Xiaoyun.
It's hateful that although she has the blood of the Teng Snake, when she became an adult, she failed to awaken her bloodline, and she not only wasted her meridians, but also crippled her body, and she had no power.
"Bloodletting."
Qihua ruthlessly ordered his subordinates to drag Xiaoyun to the Lingtan, cut his wrist and bleed into the pool.
"No-" Ji Lan Zhaoxue shouted miserably, she wanted to rush over to stop it, but she was pulled by Qihua's hair, and she couldn't climb over, she only had tears rippling, and begged in pain: "Please, Lord Dump, Lazy Emperor, I beg you, Xiaoyun has a heart disease, he can't be frightened, let alone lose too much blood, otherwise he will die, he will really die, he is just a child, and he is only half of the Teng Snake royal bloodline, and he has not even awakened the bloodline power, he can't do it with his words, Let him go! β
Her pleading, her weeping, no one cared, no one heeded, all of them stared intently at the scene of the blood falling into the pool.
When the blood on Xiaoyun's arm slipped into the Lingtan, Didi fainted and penetrated, and the violently rotating Lingtan finally calmed down, but it only calmed down, and there was nothing unusual, no matter how much blood was dropped, it was not alarmed.
"Sure enough, the half-blood hybridization really doesn't work......"
The low and smooth voice murmured, and with a sigh of regret as if expected, he turned around and went down the altar with the group.
And Ji Lan Xuezhao hurriedly rushed to Xiaoyun's side and picked him up, gritted his teeth and tore a piece of cloth to entangle his major arteries to prevent the blood from continuing to flow.
"Xiaoyun! Little cloud! Wake up, are youβare you alright? Ji Lan Xuezhao burst into tears and called out in a choked voice.
Looking at Xiaoyun's small face, which was not as big as a palm, his eyes were half-closed, and he was so angry that he couldn't breathe.
"Sister Snow......"
"Uh-huh, I'm here, I'm whiningβI'm ......"
"You say...... I have no relatives in this world for a long time...... Is this true? β
ββ¦β¦ Xiaoyun, don't talk yet. β
"Yes, really, yes?" Xiaoyun tugged at Ji Lan Zhaoxue's sleeve with great difficulty, panting, and asked with great difficulty.
Seeing such a small cloud, where did Ji Lan Xuezhao dare to tell the truth, her eyes turned urgently, revealing a stiff smile, reaching out to touch his cold cheek, and said softly: "Actually, my sister lied to them just now, you ...... You also have a sister who is related by blood......"
"Really?!" Xiao Yun's dilated pupils lit up in vain, and his pale cheeks were a little bloody because of excitement.
Ji Lan Zhaoxue endured a strong sense of weakness and smiled: "Yes, it's true, she is probably four to five years older than you, she is a pure-blooded Teng Snake royal family, so when her adult bloodline awakens, she must be very strong, she will protect Xiaoyun and will not let Xiaoyun suffer a little more, so Xiaoyun ...... Xiaoyun, you must hold on, hold on until we find her, and then you will never be afraid again. β
Although Xiaoyun seems to be about seven or eight years old, he is actually eleven years old, but the long-term bumpy escape and heart disease have caused him to look thin and small now.
"I also have a sister...... Hehe...... Sister, sister...... Okay, I'm not going to die, I'm going to be strong, I'm going to hold on, I'm going to look, I'm looking for my sister...... No, don't be afraid ......" Xiao Yun showed a childish smile, and his face finally showed a dream-like look of satisfaction that he should have at this age, not as desperate and discouraged as just now, his blood loss and excessive fright, his eyelids gradually drooped tiredly, and fell asleep.
"Woo ......"
After making sure that Xiaoyun was asleep, Jilan Zhaoxue finally resisted the strong urge to cry, covered her mouth and sniffed, and whimpered and cried.
That's right, Xiaoyun does have a cousin, but that cousin was sent out of the Teng Snake clan just after she was born, and no one knows where she is so far, his cousin is indeed the only one with a pure-blooded Teng Snake royal family, but the more this noble and incomparable identity, the more dangerous her situation will be, it has been sixteen or nearly seventeen years since she was born, where she will be, and how she will become, she doesn't know.
Besides, without the protection of her clansmen, how can she complete the rite of passage? Not to mention the transformation of the Teng Snake Imperial Clan with surging power into a human, even if a half-blooded Teng Snake Clan wants to complete the bloodline transformation into a human, she has to go through nine deaths and a lifetime, she has neither guidance, nor the assistance of the Heavenly Treasures to assist in the transformation, let alone this altar spirit pool washing meridians to buffer the impact of power...... Not to mention having the power of the snake, even surviving is a miracle......
She didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't dare to look at it, because the more she hoped for it, the more desperate she became, but Xiaoyun was different, he was tortured and miserable at such a young age, and now he was caught by this foreign person, she didn't know what they would become in the future, but at least for now, if she didn't give him a hope to live, he would definitely be able to hold on.
