Chapter Ninety-Six

The frontier is an ancient country, and they have always lived in a corner of their own paradise, and have never provoked any of their neighbors. There was an emperor who thought that the frontier was a shrinking turtle that could be bullied, and they did not dare to expand their territory because they did not have strong strength, so he led his troops to attack the frontier, but the shocking thing is that a few days later, this emperor fled into the desert, and he did not even see the real appearance of the frontier.

After the emperor returned, he strictly ordered his children and grandchildren not to attack the frontier again, and they must stay away from it. Since that day, there have been rumors in the streets, but no one knows exactly what happened to the emperor when he attacked the frontier. He didn't tell the truth until the day he died.

To attack the frontier, it was necessary to cross the forest, but the several groups of people sent by the emperor disappeared out of thin air, and none of them came out. The emperor did not believe in evil and personally led people into the forest, but as soon as he entered, he was completely cut off from the outside world, and he could not see his fingers inside, as if he had completely fallen into the night. The emperor looked up at the sky, but there was not a single ray of light shining through the leaves. He led the people inside, but they were forever in circles. Sometimes you can see white bones wearing the same armor as yourself.

The bones were not left by the decomposing corpses, they were left behind by the gnawing of the beasts, and the soldiers who had come in earlier were eaten by the beasts. The fear in the hearts of the emperor and the soldiers around him grew stronger, they did not intend to go any further, they wanted to go out, but after walking for a few days they found that they could not go out at all.

Just as the food was about to run out, a voice suddenly sounded in the woods, frightening everyone on high alert. A melodious old voice, as if from ancient times, was warning the emperor in a low voice not to try to break into the frontier again, it was impossible for him to break into the frontier, and they were willing to let the emperor go. If he doesn't change his teachings, then it's not as simple as dying a few. The emperor was still stiff-mouthed at first, but dozens of pairs of green eyes appeared in the shadows, and little by little they approached them, and they could see through the torches that they were all black wolves. Everyone was scared and weak, and they now knew who had gnawed those white bones, all wolves.

The emperor couldn't support it and immediately begged for mercy. So out of the pack came a snow-white wolf, whose eyes were different from those of other wolves, blue as the blue of the sky. The voice told them that they could get out as long as they followed the wolf. At the moment they had no better choice, so they had to follow the letter suspiciously, and after walking for a while, they faintly saw the light.

The emperor was overjoyed, he couldn't wait to leave this place, but when he looked at the snow wolf walking in front, he had a bad thought, he must kill one thing in the frontier. So he motioned to a general next to him to step forward and kill the snow wolf, and the general took the order, intending to kill the snow wolf when it was not looking. Who knew that he had just raised his sword and rushed at the wolf, who looked back at the general as if he were psychic. The general was stunned and a little scared, but he gritted his teeth and thought to himself that it was not a wolf!

It's a pity that before he touched a single hair of the snow wolf, he was directly pounced on the ground by a black wolf, biting off his neck in a few bites, and he didn't even let out a shout. Then the black wolf had a bloody head in his mouth, and looked at the emperor's group, and the snow wolf watched the general be killed the whole time, and then raised his head to stare at the emperor.

Someone in that group was directly scared and fainted······ The voice remembered again, and seemed to tell the emperor very casually not to forget what he had promised himself. By the time they had recovered their senses, the wolves were gone. But the dead general was still there, his head already rolling at the emperor's feet. The emperor was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand on his feet, and immediately ran towards the light.

Most of the people who came out of the forest were frightened mad or died within a few days, except for the emperor, who was still alive and ordered his children and grandchildren to invade the frontier.

Since then, no one has dared to attack the idea of the frontier, and I have heard that there are those who are not afraid of death, and think that it is not enough to burn the forest with a fire. So he took a large group of people with torches and prepared to burn the forest, but before he could get close, he was killed by the wolves that rushed out of it. There was not a single living mouth left, and in the end, it was the people who passed through here who found it, and everyone took the body back.

Now it is true that no one has offended the frontier anymore, and even described the frontier as a very terrifying existence. No one has explored the place, so there are fewer and fewer rumors about it, and not many people know about the frontier today. Just know that you can't take offense at will, or even get close to there.

Si Kouchen listened to his mother talk a lot, swallowed his saliva and said, "Mother, you won't be from the frontier, right?" Shu Qian took a sip of tea and said, "Yes." ”

After everyone got Shu Qian's affirmation, everyone couldn't say anything for a while, Si Kouxi, who was still gagging before, just frowned and looked at her mother, she didn't expect that her mother was actually related to the frontier she had been investigating. Lan Jing was also surprised, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it right now. Because he noticed that Xi'er's hand holding his arm had been tightening, he could feel Xi'er's nervousness and worry. He gently took Si Kouxi's hand and took her hand in his own. Si Kouxi looked up at Lan Jing, and Lan Jing's reassuring smile came into her eyes, and she blinked to indicate that she was fine.

Si Kouxi looked at his mother and whispered, "Mother, you go on." Shu Qian saw that his daughter didn't look uncomfortable, so he continued.

Shu Qian is indeed a frontier person, but more precisely, a goddess of the frontier. When she was still in the frontier, she did not become a goddess, and the goddess at that time was her master, that is, the old lady of the He family. Each generation of goddesses in the frontier can enter and leave the frontier at will after completing the ritual. The old lady of the He family met He Lao when she traveled to Tengxiao Country after completing the sacrifice ceremony, and the two fell in love at first sight.

Frontier doesn't mind people tying the knot with outsiders, as long as you follow the rules of leaving this place, then no one will care about you when you go out and do anything. Mrs. He's parents saw that their daughter had a sweetheart, but they were very supportive, and even forged an identity in Tengxiao Country and married their daughter into the He Mansion.

A few years later, Mrs. He gave birth to two sisters, He Junjing and He family, respectively. After giving birth to a child, it was time for the goddess to pass on the throne, so the frontier needed to choose a new heir, and at that time, the young Shu Qian was selected. Every goddess has an obligation to raise and teach the next goddess, because there are some things that only every goddess knows. Shu Qian arrived at He Mansion when he was very young, and Mrs. He only said that she was her student, but He Lao knew the details, so she always treated Shu Qian very well, just like her own daughter was raising.

At that time, Mrs. He was a model of the young lady in the capital, although she was not an authentic capitalite, but because of her own temperament and talent, she became famous after following He Lao to attend several parties, and it was a great thing to be able to become a student of Mrs. He.

Since then, the He Mansion is like having four children, the two sisters of the He family of the same age and Shu Qianqing are the same sisters. Mrs. He often educates her four children together, so they also know something about the frontier. But this kind of life lasted until the day when Shu Qian needed to complete the sacrifice to the heavens, and Mrs. He returned to the frontier with her four children who had grown up. Because they are the children of Mrs. He, the three brothers and sisters of the He family can enter the frontier and participate in the heavenly ceremony.

In the final analysis, the ritual of sacrificing to heaven is to thank God for the happiness brought to the frontier, but it needs to be a destined person. After the completion of Shu Qian's Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, everyone was ready to leave happily, but when Old Madam He took them away, they looked more hurried. The children were sensible and came back and asked what had happened.

During that time, a new organization was born in the frontier called the Blood Lotus Sect, and the leader of that sect claimed to obtain the strongest power in the world, a force that could compete with the heavens. Old Madam He wondered why such a cult had suddenly emerged at this time, and the elders told her that when it was approaching the Shu Qian Heavenly Sacrifice, someone in the Blood Lotus Sect noticed that something was developing according to what was written in the forbidden book.

As a goddess, the most basic requirement is to be familiar with all the forbidden books and understand the history of the entire frontier. So as soon as the elders said it, she knew what they were talking about, and as a goddess, she had the ability that others didn't have, such as perceiving something. She sensed that those destined people were the children around her, so she immediately left the frontier with the children.

The more Si Kouqing listened, the more bizarre he felt, but judging from what his mother said, what was written on the banned book was very dangerous, so dangerous that his mother chose to remain incognito and chose to hide his father's identity. Si Kouqing exhaled and asked the question in his heart, "Mother, what is written on that forbidden book?" ”

He Junjing looked at Shu Qian, who was a little out of strength and tired, he thought that she might not be able to talk anymore, so he opened a box that he had been holding in his arms, took out a book and put it in Si Kouxi's hand. Si Kouxi looked at the somewhat yellowed book, did not open it in a hurry, but looked at the mother in front of him, took a deep breath and said, "Mother, you have already given birth to a child, so who is your next goddess?" After asking this question, Si Kouxi grabbed Lan Jing's hand and squeezed it tighter, so tight that his knuckles turned white.

Lan Jing and Si Kouqing didn't think of this question, but when they heard Xiaoxi ask, they couldn't help but tighten their hearts, because there have been no outsiders in Si Kou's family over the years, and her mother has never said that she wants to be a master for others. Xiao Chen, Lan Jing, Lan Qiong, and Si Kouqing all looked at Shu Qian, Shu Qian's eyes were a little shocked, but she knew that there was no need to hide it now. Everyone looked at Shu Qian's slightly moving lips, and prayed in their hearts that it would not be the answer in their hearts.

However, whatever you are most afraid of coming, you will come. Shu Qian said: "My next goddess is Xi'er. Everyone was a little incredulous, and they couldn't breathe for a while.

Lan Jing was afraid that Si Kouxi would not be able to bear it, so she gently hugged her, but Si Kouxi still wanted to know more, so she asked her mother: "Then I am married now, I have not been exposed to anything related to the frontier since I was a child, including the ritual of worshipping the heavens, why did it suddenly break off when I came here?" ”

He Junjing answered Xiao Xi's question for Shu Qian, and he also seemed to have the courage to say: "Because, Xiao Xi, when you were born, Shu Qian noticed something different, if it was only you, it would be fine, but everyone is like this." Lan Jing saw his uncle's gaffe for the first time, Shu Qian and his uncle's appearance were telling everyone that this matter was extraordinary, and he asked his uncle: "What's different about Xi'er?" ”

He Junjing felt that he had to tell everyone the content of the forbidden book before they could understand what he was going to say later. So he didn't answer Lan Jing's question, but motioned for Si Kouxi to open the forbidden book and listen to him talk about what was recorded in the forbidden book.

A thousand years ago, the frontier experienced a catastrophe. For some reason, the beasts in the woods around the frontier suddenly rioted and attacked the people of the frontier, and during that time, there were countless casualties, and the smell of blood was everywhere in the frontier. Before the beast rebellion had subsided, the frontier was suddenly covered with torrential rains for several days, and the rivers were boiling, flooding many villages, and the rivers were constantly spreading. As a result of several days of heavy rain, the frontier suddenly became colder and colder, and the weather conditions became more and more harsh.

The frontier people once thought that they had provoked the heavens, and the heavens would send such a disaster to this place, and they slowly fell into despair. But one day, a woman suddenly single-handedly repelled the beast, causing the sea to retreat and the frontier to warm. Everyone was out of the disaster at once, as if nothing had happened. Since then, everyone has worshipped the woman as a god, believing that she was sent by God to save everyone. Even if the woman died later, everyone only thought that she had completed the task of saving the common people, so she needed to go back to heaven.

But in fact, there is no god at all, but a group of people who have inherited special powers who sacrificed themselves to save all the frontier people, and the woman also died because she used up all her strength.

As for how that woman obtained such a powerful power, it was actually done by absorbing the essence blood of all the people with different powers. On that occasion, all the people who were born extraordinary in the frontier died, quietly leaving the frontier.

Who is it that can combine their essence and blood to achieve such an ability? They are the essence and blood of the people who represent the charm and the ghost, the gold, the wood, the water, the fire and the earth, and the phoenix and the phoenix together.

Si Kouxi closed the forbidden book in his hand, his eyes were shocked, and Lan Jing was also in disbelief, he didn't expect that there would be such an incredible history thousands of years ago in the frontier. But he suddenly thought of Si Kouxi in his arms, and asked anxiously: "Then what do you mean, Xi'er represents one of them?" ”

It would be nice if it was really just Si Kouxi, Shu Qian and He Junjing both nodded and shook their heads, Lan Qiong couldn't stand it, he was already thrilled to hear it, and now everyone is worried, these two elders are still procrastinating, he can't wait to ask: "What does that mean?" ”

Shu Qian glanced at all the children present meaningfully, and said in a heavy tone: "Next, I hope you are prepared for what I said!" Several children thought that their hearts were able to bear it well, so they all nodded in unison, and Shu Qian began to say the most important words of the day: "The ghosts and spirits are He Yi, He Shu and me; Jinmu, water, fire, and earth are Si Kouyu, Lan Qiong, Si Kouqing, Si Kouchen and Mu Jinshen; Feng is Lan Jing, and Phoenix is Si Kouxi. ”

After Shu Qian finished speaking, she breathed a long sigh of relief, after telling the things buried in the deepest part of her heart, she felt light at that moment. But a few children were not calm, Lan Qiong read what Shu Qian said again, and came to a conclusion: No one is left behind, all of them are counted!

He Junjing nodded and said, "Yes, none of them have been fulfilled." Lan Jing pondered for a while, looked at the two elders, and said with certainty: "What it means now is that all the conditions for people to obtain the strongest strength have been met, and now the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect may take us there and collect our essence blood." ”

Shu Qian felt that Lan Jing was not wrong in summing it up, but she was quite surprised at the reaction of the children in front of her at this time. I thought that they would be frightened when they heard this, but now they are calmer than the other, Shu Qian has to sigh at the moment that the two masters Sibei and Siqing have made the right decision, and they should indeed tell all the truth to the children.

Si Kouxi returned the book to He Junjing, walked to his mother and sat down and said, "Mother, don't worry, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and we won't let ourselves have trouble." The rest of the group immediately chimed in. Shu Qian was still worried about what the children would encounter in the future, she grabbed Si Kouxi's hand tightly, frowned and said, "Child, no one knows what this ability will bring. And according to previous accounts, those people were ······"

Si Kouxi realized that Shu Qian would say 'death', so she hugged Shu Qian directly, and Shu Qian stopped what she wanted to say when Si Kouxi hugged her. Xiaoxi hugged her mother tightly and said with a smile: "Mother, you have always been the bravest person in my heart, don't be afraid, isn't there still four months?" ”

Shu Qian has always thought that she is the bravest woman in the world, she is not afraid of anything, and is even willing to give her life, but when she thinks that her children will go through this, she suddenly feels that she is the most cowardly person in the world.

She didn't want to put pressure on the children, and tried to pull out a smile in response to Xiaoxi: "Yes, I am the bravest person!" The atmosphere was pushed out to a certain extent by the mother and daughter, and the emotion permeated the entire room, thinking that there was a deeper atmosphere, but a "grunt" broke everything.

Lan Jing, Lan Qiong, Si Kouqing and Si Kouchen all looked at each other, the disgust in their eyes was clearly visible, in their opinion, some of them were still thinking about eating at this time, and in this serious and moving atmosphere, they were still thinking about eating.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Xi muttered, "Lan Jing, your child is hungry." Lan Jing was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect it to be an unborn little guy. He was stunned and replied, "Hmm! Suddenly woke up, and said with clear eyes: "The housekeeper should be ready, let's go eat first!" ”

Everyone understands Xiaoxi, a pregnant woman, and moves to the place where they eat, these things can't be explained clearly in one night, and they are not in a hurry at this moment, as long as the children know that there is such a thing.
