"The snake is nameless, although it is called a snake, but the body shape is no different from the ground insect, parasitic on the ancient beast lonely hole to survive, Wu Luo Niangniang cleaned the lonely snake scales when it was subdued, because it was dependent on the lonely hole, so it was given the name lonely snake. The lonely snake is in the yin, and after a hundred years, the body is rotten and the spirit is not gone, and it is still used by Wu Luo Niangniang. Later, the Wu Luo clan grew, and most of the mana of Wu Luo Niangniang was dispersed, and she was unable to restrain the clansmen anymore, so as to prevent the clansmen from fighting again due to selfishness/affection/desire to enter the world, the remaining mana was used to seal the lonely snake into the body of a newborn baby girl at that time, and when the baby girl grew up and gave birth to a girl, the spirit of the lonely snake turned to her daughter. However, the hearts of the people are not ancient, after the death of Wu Luo Niangniang, the clan has many two hearts, regardless of Wu Luo Niangniang's teachings, he was born privately, and he slept with men, and the bloodline of the Wu Luo clan faced the crisis of confusion. Under the anger of the Wuluo clan who remained in the spiritual mountain, they decided to promote the woman with the lonely snake as the holy daughter of the clan, and the other man with extraordinary fate in the world was the holy son, and the daughter born to the holy daughter and the holy son took over the position of the holy daughter, and lived endlessly, with the noble blood of the Wuluo clan......

"Mother, wait." Xie Zhen listened too much for a while, but felt that she couldn't react, and couldn't help but interrupt Li Shi's words, puzzled: "You just said that when the baby girl grows up and gives birth to a daughter, how does Wu Luo Niangniang know that she will give birth to a daughter?" ”

Li Shi was stunned, and then showed a bleak smile, "This is a curse." ”

"Cursed?" Xie Zhen was surprised.

Li Shi nodded and said: "Wu Luo Niangniang used herself as a cage to imprison the nine witches, and the nine witches were resentful, and they combined the power of the nine people to cast a spell, cursing Wu Luo Niangniang for having no children and no grandchildren and being lonely all her life. ”

Childless, childless, and lonely all his life...... What a vicious curse for a woman?

"Wu Luo Niangniang has the magical power to subdue them, can't she break their curse?" Xie Zhen said hurriedly.

Li Shi smiled bitterly, "Zhen'er, you are too underestimating witches. ”

The corners of Xie Zhen's mouth twitched, she didn't underestimate Wu, she didn't know anything about Wu at all.

Seeing her dazed, Li Shi couldn't help but sigh lightly, reached out and dipped the tea in the cup, and wrote a witch word on the table with his fingers.

"Wu, Zhu Ye. Women can do things invisibly, and they descend to the gods with dance, reaching the heavens and the earth. [Note 1] Witches, doctors. Picking the grass of the Spirit Mountain, refining the medicine of immortality, and saving all living beings. Witch, curse also. Hundreds of birds and beasts, can drive away ghosts, and there are no people who cannot be killed. ”

"Zhen'er." Li Shi paused, looked sideways and asked, "Do you know what it means to be a person who can't be killed?" ”

Anyone who can't be killed? Xie Zhen repeated this sentence in a low voice, her heart was shocked, she suddenly raised her head to meet Li Shi's gaze, and said in disbelief: "Does it mean that there is no one in this world who cannot be killed by witches?" ”

"Exactly." Li Shi nodded, "Even if it's the Son of Heaven." If the witch has the intent to kill, he will sacrifice himself to kill him. ”

Do you want to kill them if you sacrifice yourself? Jade burning? It's too extreme. Xie Hao frowned.

Li continued: "At that time, Wu Luo Niangniang imprisoned the Nine Witches, and the Nine Witches took their own blood as a guide, and set a curse at the cost of their souls flying away and never being reborn. The spell is poisonous, and Wu Luo Niangniang can't break it. ”

"So Wu Luo Niangniang's descendants are all women." Xie Zhen said clearly, his thoughts turned around, and he was a little puzzled: "What about now?" Now that Wu Luo Niangniang's mana has dissipated, the power of the curse has also dissipated, right? Didn't my mother give birth to a younger brother? ”

"Not really." Li Shi shook his head, "The curse will not be broken." The women of our Wuluo clan still have no children and no grandchildren, and some people of the clan cast a spell to interfere with the curse and give birth to a son, and the son and mother die. ”

"The birth of the child and the death of the mother?" Xie Zhen was taken aback, "But brother...... You ......"

She felt a little incredible, and when she was about to ask again, she paused. In that life, the mother died of blood collapse after giving birth to her younger brother, is it because of this curse?

"Mother, have you ever cast a spell to give birth to a younger brother?" She said tentatively.

Li Shi nodded without hesitation, "I can't let your father have no queen. ”

When she said this, she smiled slightly, and her eyes flashed with happiness.

Xie Hao had a sour nose, "Then didn't you plan to abandon yourself at that time?" ”

Li Shi smiled and touched her face, and said comfortingly: "If you are willing to give up, you will have to give up." If I had to choose one more time, I would do the same. It's just that I didn't expect God to be so kind to me, your brother was born safely, but I am still alive. ”

"It must be the mother's selflessness that touched the heavens." Xie Zhen snorted.

Li Shi shook his head and chuckled, "It's not me, it's you." ”

"Me?" Xie Zhen was stunned.

"Do you remember this box?" Li Shi took out a small black box from his sleeve and put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xie Hao.

It was the little box she asked Xie Zhen to take on the day she gave birth.

"Naturally, I remember." Xie Zhen nodded, she still remembered the strange feeling she had when she first touched the small box.

"Do you know what this box originally contained?" Lai asked.

What's in it? How could she have guessed that? Xie Hao shook her head dryly.

Li Shi said: "It is the spirit of the lonely snake." ”

"The spirit of the lonely snake?" Xie Hao blurted out: "The soul is invisible, how can it be packed in a box?" And, didn't you say that the lonely snake was attached to the body of the saint? No, you just said that the lonely snake is in my body. Heck, what the hell is going on? ”

Xie Zhen's mind was in turmoil.

"Don't worry, listen to me tell you." Li Shi comforted her, and stroked the pattern on the box with his fingers and said: "This box is different from ordinary boxes, it is a treasure that I got by chance back then, I think it was also containing some spiritual things, only the whereabouts of spiritual objects are unknown, and there is a box left, and the box is infiltrated by spiritual objects all year round, and it also gives birth to spiritual energy, which can suppress evil things, so it can lock the soul." ”

"It's true that the lonely snake is attached to the body of the holy woman, but when I gave birth to you, because I didn't want you to have anything to do with the Wuluo clan anymore, I specially cast a spell to force the soul of the lonely snake out, and didn't let it attach to you, but I didn't do enough, and I only forced out the three souls of the lonely snake with all my might, and the remaining seven spirits could not be driven out, so in desperation, I had to seal the three souls in the box, and the remaining seven spirits were sealed on myself. On the day I gave birth to your brother, I couldn't escape death, just because I didn't give up your heart to survive, and wanted to risk using the spiritual power of the lonely snake to fight against the curse, but I didn't expect you to inadvertently absorb the seven spirits of the lonely snake, and the seven spirits born by you recalled the three souls in my body, the power of the lonely snake in my body was nothing, but I was able to give birth to your brother, and the mother and child were safe, this is something that the Wuluo clan has never had in the past, although I can't think of this reason, but it should be because of you. ”

Li Shi looked at his daughter's eyes that widened because of surprise, and sighed heavily, "It's just that I didn't expect the lonely snake to choose you by itself, and I would be fated if I wanted to." ”

Xie Zhen's ears buzzed.

"Mother." She spoke, "You said, the lonely snake chose me and attached itself to me, have I now become the holy daughter of the Wuluo clan?" ”

The Witches...... She is actually a descendant of the Wuluo clan, with no children and no grandchildren......

No children, no grandchildren, no children, no grandchildren, what about Ah Zhan? Can she no longer be Ah Zhan's mother?

Xie Hao's eyes were blurred for a while, and her body shook slightly.
