Volume II: Ji Hui Ningdu, Chapter 216
Wu Yusheng seemed to have a very deep impression of this woman, and between his words, he regarded this woman as his hope to revitalize the family.
"In other words, you are the only one in the Wu family now?" Xu Xiang said, and asked with a hint of curiosity: "If something happens to the people of your Wu family accidentally, and there are no heirs, then won't your Wu family have no successor?" ”
Wu Yusheng did not refute, but nodded, "If there is really such a day, even if the sky is going to kill our line, there is nothing to be done." ”
Xu Xiang was noncommittal, where could there be such a strange curse, it is estimated that in the previous time, he happened to encounter only one offspring, and his descendants took this curse seriously, and after giving birth to one, he naturally did not dare to continue to give birth, so it has been passed down in a single vein.
He removed the spirit card from the shrine, and then turned a mechanism inside, only to hear a mechanical sound of turning, and the shrine against the wall slowly rotated until it turned three hundred and sixty degrees, and then stopped.
There was a small metal hole on the back of the shrine, Wu Yusheng took out a small golden key, and after inserting it into the lock hole, there was a "click" sound, and the shrine opened.
As for not living to be forty years old, it should be because of a genetic disease, and it just so happens that this vein of the Changsun family inherited the recessive gene of this disease, and he was expelled from the Changsun family, which is probably also the reason.
"Oh, I almost forgot, there's something for you." At this time, Wu Yusheng remembered something and walked towards the shrine.
The word "Meng" reminded Xu Xiang of Fenglong Montessori, could it be that this little sword represents Montessori?
"According to the records left by the ancestors, this is a map about Baige Island, and the location of the eldest grandson is marked in the map, but it does not meet certain conditions, and this map does not show anything." Wu Yusheng handed over the parchment roll and said.
It seemed to be a sheepskin scroll inside, Wu Yusheng took it out, opened the sheepskin scroll, and three small golden swords appeared.
These three swords are of different lengths, the long one has two small characters engraved on the body of the sword "Xuanyuan", the medium one has two small characters engraved on the body of the sword is "Changsun", and the shortest one is only engraved with one word "Meng".
"Yes! The ancestors were very sure! ”
"Then since it's a map, why don't you use it, try to find Baige Island and return to the Changsun clan?"
Xuanyuan Ding took the map, there was a blood-red pattern in the center of the parchment scroll, and in the upper right corner was a poem written in ink, but other than that, there was no sign of the map.
"Your ancestor said that this sheepskin scroll is a map of Baige Island?" Xuanyuan Ding looked at Wu Yusheng with suspicious eyes and asked.
Xu Xiang noticed that this pattern was very similar to the hundred flowers on the hundred orders that Xuanyuan Ding showed him before, as well as the hundred flowers described in the classics, but he always felt that there were some places and some differences, and as for the differences, he didn't see a reason.
"Heluo is three points of dragon energy, and Nanjiang Baige is not depressed. The wandering clan swallows the world, and the bloodline can call for rebirth. ”
Wu Yusheng shook his head, "This is a hidden map, whether we roast it with fire or cover it with water, we can't make it work, and we have tried countless times, but we have failed." ”
"It's a hundred flowers!" Xuanyuan Ding pointed to the blood-red pattern and said.
This poem mentions key words such as Heluo, Nanjiang, Baige, Youzu, Xuanyuan's origin is Heluo, and the location of Changsun's family in Nanjiang, as for You's people, what is it?
"What does the phrase "the last bloodline can call for rebirth" mean? Do you have to smear it with blood to make this picture show? Xuanyuan guessed.
Xuanyuan read the poem in the upper right corner, his brows furrowed.
"This poem must be the secret of uncovering this hidden map!" Xuanyuan Ding said again, but he didn't have any clue now.
"So, if you want to find Baige Island, you must first crack the secret of this parchment scroll?" Xuanyuan Ding said.
"Well, it naturally makes sense for my ancestors to leave this thing behind."
"Blood doesn't work, our ancestors tried it a long time ago. The word blood is not blood, there must be other meanings in it. Wu Yusheng said, raised the three small swords again, and said: "Moreover, these three swords are with this map, and they should play their due role." ”
Xu Xiang and Xuanyuan Ding noticed the three small swords at this time, but they looked at them carefully, these three swords were just ordinary golden swords, and there was nothing special on them except for the engraved words.
Xuanyuan Ding put away the sheepskin scroll and said: "Zhai Yin is coming over in the past two days, he is well-informed, show him, maybe there is a way to crack the secret." ”
In the next two days, Wu Yusheng arranged a boat, and they went to the original location of Baige Island recorded in the classics, and checked it out.
"That's it, Wu Yusheng, you follow us, and when you crack the secret of this scroll, we will go to Baige Island together!" Xuanyuan Ding said.
"No problem, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Even if you want to find some traces of the existence of Baige Island, it is very difficult.
On the third day, as soon as Xu Xiang got up, Zhai Ling'er came to him, saying that Zhai Yin had arrived, and Xuanyuan invited him to discuss things.
But there is no harvest, except for the endless river, which is high mountains.
Every time it is a happy one, and a disappointed one, for an island that has disappeared for nine hundred years, if you want to find it, it is useless to rely on it like this.
Xu Xiang had never met Zhai Yin, and he had often heard this man's name from Xuanyuan Ding and Zhai Ling'er.
After saying hello, Xu Xiang sat down, and he looked at Zhai Yin carefully.
He came to Xuanyuan Ding's room, Xuanyuan Ding was already sitting at the round table, Wu Yusheng was also beside him, in addition to Wu Yusheng, there was also a middle-aged man, presumably Zhai Yin, who had been waiting for a few days.
And there was the sheepskin scroll on the table, and Zhai Yin was staring at the hundred flowers on it with a solemn gaze, looking very focused.
Zhai Yin raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the meaning of this poem should be that if you want to make this map of Baige Island appear, you must rely on blood. ”
"Yes, but what does this bloodline mean? What kind of bloodline does it take for it to manifest? Xuanyuan asked.
Xu Xiang visually estimated that Zhai Yin's height should be more than one meter nine, wearing a gray chivalrous shirt, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, looking very capable. It's just that his face is covered with wind and frost, and there is a bit of righteousness between his eyebrows, and he looks like the kind of chivalrous man who often runs the rivers and lakes.
"Zhai Yin, have you seen something?" Xuanyuan asked expectantly.
"That's pretty much what it means." Zhai Yin was not sure and said.
"Ling'er, take the dagger." Xuanyuan stretched out his hand to Zhai Ling'er, who took out a dagger from his waist and handed it over.
Zhai Yin pointed to the three lines of poetry in front of him and said, "Heluo, it should refer to the Xuanyuan royal family, Your Majesty is the orthodoxy of the Xuanyuan royal family, and your bloodline can be." ”
"You mean, I want my blood?" Xuanyuan asked.
With that, he cut his finger, and the finger was cut, and blood gushed down the wound and dripped onto the parchment scroll.
However, the parchment scroll seemed to have a plastic film attached to it, and the blood flowed away directly, and was not sucked by the parchment scroll.
Xuanyuan Ding was about to cut off his finger with the dagger, but Zhai Yin opened his mouth to stop it, "Your Majesty, you are a golden body, how can you cut yourself?" This is also a guess on the part of the subordinates, and it is not necessarily feasible. ”
Xuanyuan Ding's face showed a hint of resoluteness, "Great Xia has been passed into my hands, and I am ashamed of Xuanyuan's ancestors by being so bullied by the Ming clan's traitors." If you can find the eldest grandson, expel the traitor! Not to mention the bloodshed, even if it costs my life, I will not hesitate to do it! ”
At this time, Wu Yusheng played with the three small swords in his hand and said, "Will it be useful to cut your fingers with this small sword?" ”
Zhai Yin's eyes lit up, and he seemed to feel that it made sense, "That's right!" If not, then what are these three little swords for? Your Majesty might as well give it a try! ”
Zhai Ling'er hurriedly bandaged Xuanyuanding's wound, Xuanyuanding completely ignored the pain in his hand, just stared at the sheepskin scroll tightly, and his eyes looked a little lost.
"It's useless......," he said with some frustration.
At this time, the blood flowing from Xuanyuan Ding's fingers slowly flowed to the golden sword, and after passing through the golden sword, it flowed into the notch of the word Xuanyuan, and then a golden liquid flowed out of the nick, and after the golden liquid dripped on the sheepskin scroll, it was immediately absorbed by the sheepskin scroll.
After the parchment scroll absorbed the golden liquid, the flower began to change somewhat.
Xuanyuan nodded, took the small sword engraved with the word Xuanyuan, and slashed the other finger with a slight stroke.
But when the golden sword cut through his fingers, after touching his blood, it seemed to be attached to Xuanyuan Ding's fingers.
Originally blood-red, one of them turned golden yellow, slowly stretching, as if the few drops of golden liquid just now gave it nutrients and made it bloom.
The flowers on the sheepskin scroll are in the form of buds, and there are three petals that wrap the whole stamen, and on each petal, there are some subtle veins.
At this time, Xu Xiang understood why he felt that the pattern of this Baiji Flower was different from the real Baiji Flower before.
Everyone looked at this magical scene and showed joy, it seems that it is really useful!
It's just that after it first began to bloom, it stopped again, and there was no longer any change, and the little sword didn't absorb Xuanyuan Ding's blood anymore.
"This ......" everyone looked at each other.
