Chapter 217 Knowing the Truth
The Dragon Clan has been in decline since fifty years ago, the Golden Saint Light of the Hong Gang Clan is getting weaker and weaker, and the Wu Clan, the Dragon Clan, which once dominated the spirit world, has gradually lost its former authority and unshakable dominance.
Their descendants are either young, stupid, or disabled. In order for the life of the Dragon Clan to continue forever, the elders of the clan can only choose qualified girls from among these physically defective descendants to inherit the mantle. As if cursed, generations of shrine maidens died inexplicably when they were just eighteen years old, until the authentic descendants of the Dragon Clan were completely cut off.
As a last resort, they had to find mortal girls outside the clan to continue to be in charge of the Dragon Clan, they were selfish and even more cruel. The people of the Dragon Clan do not believe in the Mandate of Heaven, but they are afraid of the Mandate of Heaven, and if there is no witch in charge of the clan, they will completely disappear from this world.
The Hongsheng relics are divided into many branches, and the ancestors of this branch they inherited were once betrayers of the Hongshan relics, and they were afraid that sooner or later they would be punished by the Hongsheng ancestors, so they desperately changed their fate.
The authentic descendants of their own clan are born to bring happiness to their clansmen, while girls with different surnames from outside have to sacrifice the blessings and well-being of their relatives to continue their lives and blessings for the people of the Long clan.
They have never considered this puppet foreign "witch in charge of the clan", in the eyes of these people, only the life of their own people is the most precious, if they can break the punishment of the terrible god of fate, even if it is at the expense of the life of the foreigner.
And it just so happened that they found the Mei sisters of Meixiang Valley, these two sisters' lives are difficult to find one out of tens of thousands of people, as long as they are there, the Long clan has absolutely a chance to reverse the bad luck and the punishment of the ancestors.
Like bloodsuckers, they are constantly drawing energy from her, and her family will grow old and die prematurely because of it. As long as she walks on this path, there is no turning back, providing nourishment for these enemies, she herself is simply a crumbling little tree, and these people who are ostensibly respectful to her are like silkworms that are constantly gnawing at the leaves and frantically grabbing her life force.
She knows her situation very well, if she resists, it will definitely affect her parents and fellow villagers in her hometown, not to mention that her sister is still young, and they also intend to train her sister to become her successor. Her life is destined to be short and fateful, and she will not let her sister take this road again, she used her mana to seal her sister's heavenly gate, so that all the suffering and grief will be borne by her alone, and her sister still has a chance to leave here, return to her hometown, and return to her father's mother.
What she can't do, her sister can do, become an ordinary woman, have a stable and smooth life, marry and have children, and become a gentle and virtuous little woman, instead of being like her, fighting to the death against demons and evil spirits, and possibly dying at any time, and constantly feeding those "bloodsuckers" with her own essence and spiritual power.
"Sister, I was wrong, I must have misunderstood my sister." Chu Yi held Long Dingxin's hand tightly, and was pulled into her sister's consciousness, she saw all the pictures from birth to leaving Gyro Mountain, all the time, she thought that she was the authentic descendant of the Long clan, but it turned out that she was carrying the surname of the enemy and forgetting her roots.
Sister's good intentions, she didn't really understand until now, weishenme everyone seems to know something, but she is in the dark. No, she was mistaken, the person who knew best was herself, and the truth was hidden in the few fragments of her memory, but for a long time, it was she herself who deliberately closed the door of the most critical memory.
Elder Lian Sha said that, I was afraid that it was a confession before he died, and he concluded that the Dragon Clan's qi was exhausted, and no matter what method was used, he would not be able to change this fact, so he would regret what he had done in the past.
The clenched hand gradually withdrew from her palm, and Hatsuichi had tears in her eyes, trying to grasp it, but she caught a phantom of the void. Her vision was blurred, and she saw her sister's cheeks cracked, and a moon-white glimmer shimmered under the cracks.
"Sister?" She choked back tears, and when her fingers just touched Long Dingxin's cheeks, which were likely to burst at any time, she only heard a crisp sound, as if a porcelain doll had been broken, and the person lying in the coffin instantly turned into countless fragments, and flew out of the sarcophagus with a bright red robe, and exploded into a pile of powder scattered among the flowers in an instant.
Bai Qi stood calmly on the side and watched Bai Yongxin and Chu Yi lying outside the coffin crying, what he had expected a long time ago, but this ending was slightly delayed.
He calmly spread his palms, and the fragments of the streamer that were still flying fell gently into his palms, warm, with the temperature of his wife, his lips bloomed with a happy smile, staring at the things that had melted into fine gravel, and said softly: "I can finally go to you, reassure, you won't complain that I came too late, right?" ”
With a slight swing of his fingers, the lid of the coffin hanging above his head shook slightly, and after flipping a few sides, it stopped turning, and then, something fell, and he stretched out his long arm to catch the brocade box that was about to fall to the ground.
"This is the gossip god card, Xin'er, give me the key."
Bai Yongxin walked over as he said, looked up and saw his father's strange eyes, and he had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart, he had lost his mother, and he couldn't even have a father.
Bai Qi untied the jade pendant on his son's neck, "In this world, only this key can open the brocade box that seals the Bagua God Card, Xin'er, do you know that this is weishenme?" He squeezed the jade pendant tightly and looked at Bai Yongxin with a smile.
"Because this key is your mother's heart." He spread his palm again, the jade pendant cracked, and the crimson key trembled slightly in the palm of his hand.
The key was inserted into the lock hole of the brocade box, and a "click" sound was clearly heard from the box, and only after it was fully opened, the divine power of the Bagua God Card could be fully activated.
After the layers of obstacles were removed, only a palm-sized pitch-black iron box was left in the box, and Bai Qi handed over the iron box that looked very inconspicuous, and even had several marks scratched on the surface, to Chu Yi.
"This is the gossip god card." Bai Qi looked up at the top of the wall, his eyes were full of infinite yearning, "Yuhu Mountain, I will never have a chance to see it." He muttered, his gaze drifting, finally stopping at the first side.
"It's time for me to go to your sister, too."
Chu Yi was shocked and immediately asked, "What do you want to do?" "My sister has already disappeared, this Bai Qi said such inexplicable words, did he want to do anything amazing?
"Xin'er, in the future, your father will not be by your side, you have to learn to live alone, even if you are afraid of the dark and lonely, you must be strong, you know? When you encounter danger, you have to resolve it yourself, and any difficulty must be faced bravely by yourself, you know? He hugged Bai Yongxin and hugged the child who made him a little relieved.
Bai Yongxin somewhat understood what her father meant, and tears fell uncontrollably, "Dad, don't leave me, take me wherever you go, as long as you can be with your father." ”
"Children will always grow up, and when they grow up, they will be separated from their parents, even if you stick to your father now, when you become an adult, you will still go to the world alone, and your father and mother can't always accompany you, and it is impossible to protect you forever."
Bai Qi kissed his son's wet cheeks, gently stroked his red and swollen eyes, and coaxed in a soft voice: "Promise Dad, be a brave child, if we are fated, maybe we can still be zaijian." ”
He let go of Bai Yongxin, and stared at the gossip god card in Chu Yi's hand, "You are Xin'er's only relative in this world, please take care of him, your sister's soul has been integrated into the gossip god card, and I will go with her." ”
Without waiting for her to speak, they turned into a white light and rushed into the Bagua God Card, she couldn't control the huge momentum, and the Bagua God Card fell out of her hand.
"Daddy!" Bai Yongxin understood his father's intentions at this time, he rushed over and hugged the gossip god card that was still rolling, the burning pain made him have to let go of his hand, and Chu Yi immediately picked him up and retreated behind the sarcophagus.
Dad's appearance is still clearly visible, he wiped away his tears, and shouted loudly: "Dad, Xin'er will listen to Dad's words, Xin'er will not let Dad's mother worry!" ”
Bai Qi's figure covered with soft light slowly sank, Chu Yi wanted to get closer, but his arm was burned by the scorching light, and when she saw that her exposed skin was burned red, she couldn't help crying, not because of pain, but because Bai Qi's resolute obsession shocked her. Is there really such a single-minded relationship in the world? Even if one dies, the other person obsessively guards it, until one day, because of excessive longing, he gives up his future and resolutely follows the person who has long since left.
"What's wrong?" Yu Qiaofeng and Yu Zhaoyuan woke up from a sleep, found themselves outside the stone room, heard the crying inside, they hurried in, seemed to miss some important link, only to see dozens of sarcophagi placed in the huge stone room, Chu Yi held Bai Yongxin leaning against the white jade sarcophagus in the center and cried non-stop, at their feet, an iron box made a "Qiang Qiang" sound.
Yu Zhaoyuan pulled Yu Qiaofeng and asked in a low voice, "How did we fall asleep?" After thinking about it carefully for a while, she came to her senses, grabbed his arm and shouted, "I know, it's that Bai Qi's ghost." ”
"Maybe Bai Qi didn't want us to know anything, so he cast a spell on us to make us sleep, don't guess, he is Yongxin's father, even if he is a demon, he is also a kind monster." Yu Qiaofeng pulled out the arm that was pinched by Yu Zhaoyuan, and walked towards Chu Yi lightly.
As if he had stumbled upon the invisible Liliang, he could no longer move his feet when he walked to the black tin box.
Subconsciously, he half-knelt down and reached out to touch the box that emitted a golden light.
"Don't touch it!"
He was startled by the exclamation, and hurriedly retracted his hand, only to see Bai Yongxin rolling towards him like a round ball, and Yu Qiaofeng intuitively dodged, but found that he was still one step too late.
The "ball" slammed straight into him, and he clung to the explosive mass as it clung to it.
"Don't touch my father, no one is allowed to touch me!" Bai Yongxin's cheeks were covered with mud, tears mixed with mud, and she was a flower-faced cat.
Yu Qiaofeng was puzzled, seeing Bai Yongxin's blue eyes surging blood red, he didn't dare to make any more moves, even this kid pressed on himself, he had to sigh, the pitiful appearance of the pear blossom with rain made him unbearable to carry this little ghost aside.
"Yongxin, get off Uncle Qiao'er." Chu Yi's tone was sad, and he leaned over and hugged Bai Yongxin, "How did you promise your father, have you forgotten?" She pulled away his hand and put the Bagua God Card into the cloth bag around her waist, which was a dangerous thing after all, not suitable for a small child to keep.
"I haven't forgotten." Bai Yongxin sniffed and looked up at the first year of junior high school, "Auntie, Dad said that if we are destined, we will still zaijian, is it true?" ”
Looking at his expectant eyes, she nodded firmly and replied, "...... Yes, when you grow up, you'll be able to get to them. ”
As soon as the words fell, the white jade sarcophagus behind him suddenly made a loud noise......
