Chapter 157: Ritual
Caitong lowered her head in despair after hearing this, and then she understood what Ye Lansu said at the end - the Silver God Clan and the Xuanwu Tomb Mansion were indeed not something that Fengyun Pavilion could compete with, let alone the Ji Kingdom where they valued literature and did not value martial arts.
"So what to do...... Isn't there anything that can be done?" Caitong couldn't help crying, "Why! What kind of blood feud do we have with their Silver God Clan in Xiling? Why do they do this to us?"
The more Caitong cried, the more sad she became, she was originally the daughter of the city lord, and she didn't want to be reduced to such a homeless situation now, there was nothing more unjust than this!
"Oh my God, that's not fair......! We were doing well, and we didn't provoke them, he ...... Why are they!" Her voice began to tremble.
Wisteria sat on the side and looked at her, as if he saw the refugees who had been driven out of their homes by their Yuguo soldiers. For some reason, when he saw her sadness and despair, at that moment, he really wanted to help her.
***************
(1,000 years ago) Pang Lanzhou, Golden Purple Palace.
There was a gray cloud of smoke all around, and a black mist was faintly floating in the smoke cloud.
In front of him is a tall black tower, which looks ancient and solemn but slightly gloomy and mysterious. This tall tower seemed to suddenly appear in the dense forest behind the Golden Purple Hall overnight, because Xia Yuqian had never seen it before......
The little princess took Xia Yuqian's hand and led her through the dim and narrow secret passage, and walked down the bluestone-paved spiral staircase, Xia Yuqian leaned down and looked down with some concern, and by the faint candlestick fire on the wall, she saw that the staircase seemed to lead to a bottomless abyss.
"It's okay, follow me. The little princess whispered, grabbed her hand, and led her to the deepest part of the earth.
When the two came to the bottom of the ancient tower, Xia Yuqian looked around and was shocked to find that the cave was actually a huge underground tomb, and behind each stone tablet engraved with the name of the deceased, there was a black armor as hard as iron.
"Princess...... What are these?" she asked, grabbing the little princess's hand a little nervously.
"Don't be afraid, these are the forbidden armies of our Enma clan. ”
Xia Yuqian didn't know what the forbidden army was, she only felt very uneasy to be in this strange catacomb, and there was a faint sense of déjà vu here, as if she had been here in the past.
The little princess pulled her through the dense black armor stele forest, and came to the front of the forbidden army, Xia Yuqian looked up and saw a tall archway, on which were written "Demon King Immortal" four big characters.
She followed the little princess to a stone table on a high platform, and in the center of it was a shallow pit that was sunken downward, and in it were filled with droplets of water dripping from the stalactites on the top of the cave.
"Look down there," the little princess pointed to the endless forbidden army under the high platform and said to Xia Yuqian with a proud expression, "This is why our Enma clan can survive forever, and the power we have is beyond the reach of mortals." ”
Xia Yuqian nodded silently, but she was not too interested, she didn't know why the little princess brought herself here, she had already done a day's work, and now she just wanted to get into the small quilt and sleep quickly, instead of coming here to see the forbidden army.
"I once said that from the moment you followed me, you were a member of our Enma clan," the little princess said, taking Xia Yuqian's two little hands, and that unpredictable smile appeared on her face again.
She looked into Xia Yuqian's eyes and said to her very seriously: "But you still have mortal blood in your body after all, unless you can have a drop of pure blood of our Enma clan in your body." ”
"But...... It's good for me to be a mortal. Xia Yuqian said disapprehantly.
"How fragile mortals are! they are vulnerable, they will often get sick, and many mortals are not able to cultivate internal strength, if you can become a member of my Enma clan, you can have more powerful internal strength. ”
At that time, Xia Yuqian didn't know what internal force was, and she felt that in addition to having a longer lifespan than humans, the Enma clan was actually not much stronger than humans in other aspects. But she only dared to bury this idea deep in her heart, and did not dare to mention it to outsiders at all.
"I'm doing this for your own good, if you also become an Enma, no bronze soldier will dare to bully you in the future, I can also secretly teach you the techniques of our Enma clan, and when you have excellent martial arts one day, you won't have to be scared like other palace maids. When we get home, you can protect yourself and your family from harm. ”
Hearing the word "family", Xia Yuqian's eyes suddenly widened, the little princess said so much, but she only listened to the last sentence.
"It only takes a little ritual," the Enma Princess, seeing that she seemed to be a little tempted, grabbed her hand and said to her, "Stretch your hand out, palm up." ”
Although she still had a smile on her face, the tone of the little princess's voice was like an order, non-negotiable. Xia Yuqian didn't know what she was going to do, so she carefully stretched out her palm, and in the next second, the little princess put her fingers together and turned into a black finger knife.
"Princess......" Xia Yuqian looked at her palms that were cut open and turned pale with fright, and almost fainted.
The little princess raised her hand and cut an opposite oblique opening in the palm of her left hand, the length was exactly the same as that in Xia Yuqian's palm, her left hand tightly held Xia Yuqian's right hand, so that the two knife edges coincided and then lifted it to the stone table and shook it hard, a drop of blood flowed down the palms of the two people, dripping into the stagnant water on the stone table, and the stagnant water instantly turned into a piece of blood red.
At this moment, Xia Yuqian seemed to suddenly hear something, and she felt that the black armor in the front row under the high platform seemed to tremble slightly, but maybe it was just her own hallucination......
At this time, the little princess let go of her hand, and Xia Yuqian withdrew her palm in a daze, and saw that the wound on her hand had miraculously healed!
"Well, now you already have the pure blood of the Enma in your body, but if you don't practice the exercises of the Enma clan, this bloodline will be meaningless, it will gradually be sealed in your body, and you will slowly turn back into an ordinary human, and eventually it will disappear with the death of your soul," After a pause, the Enma Princess looked at her very sincerely and said, "But I hope you can use it, from this moment on, you will officially become a member of my Enma clan!"
