Chapter 22: The Machine Spirit Appears
Seeing this, Aunt Liu hurriedly echoed: "Minglan girl, isn't it possible that Aunt Zhang doesn't even have the qualifications to teach a maid?" I know that you have always looked down on us aunts, and it is just a matter of being kind enough to go over tonight to comfort and be humiliated, and you have been in a bad mood lately. But now, it's over ...... after all! ”
As soon as the elders of the sect heard it, they were surrounded by a few others, and verbally scolded Yan Minglan for not knowing etiquette, all because his parents did not teach him well in the past.
Their hearts were completely tilted to one side, completely ignoring the matter of the maid's attempt to hurt Yan Minglan, regardless of whether they asked her about her current situation, investigation and disposal. On the contrary, he grabbed Yan Minglan's disrespectful "mistakes" aggressively.
Yan Minglan could bear it at first, but as a result, these sect elders repeatedly talked about their deceased parents. How could she endure these almost insulting words?
She didn't want to stand up, and said, "What right do you have to mention my father again?" Have you come forward since the accident in the big house? The big house is weak and the second room and the third room try their best to press it down, you turn a blind eye, but speak for the ill-intentioned people! You are not qualified to accuse me like this! ”
"Smack——!
A heavy slap was thrown on Yan Minglan's face, and the force collided, and red marks appeared.
"Miss!"
Amber couldn't believe it, and she was heartbroken in front of Yan Minglan.
"You can't hit Miss!"
Looking at these sect elders, he only felt that everything was terrifying.
Aunt Zhang Liu didn't expect the elder to make a sudden move, and her surprised look couldn't be hidden. The two who thought it was over, suddenly became another village, and the situation changed abruptly.
Look at the maid who was brought up by Amber before, where can you still see it? He had already fled at the beginning of the chaos by Aunt Zhang's eyes. I'm afraid that if Yan Minglan wants to find it again in the future, it will be difficult to climb to the sky.
The two of them looked like villains, arrogant enough to push Amber away, and let Yan Minglan face the anger of several elders of the main hall.
"The Yan family has such a son who contradicts the elders, it's really unfortunate for the family!"
"I think you shouldn't come back, what do you do when you come back! The top and bottom of Yanfu have been made into a miasma by you, and the relationship between several rooms has been suspicious! One by one, where did you get the face to shout in front of us?! ”
The saliva of several sect elders was about to spray on Yan Minglan's face, so you can imagine how long she has endured this girl for a while.
Yan Minglan covered her hot cheeks, hung her head helplessly, and endured the ridicule of everyone who opened their bows left and right.
Unexpectedly, the wicked person who committed the trick was not punished, but she, the victim, had to be taught a lesson in the night of her parents' wagil for no reason.
Yan Minglan didn't cry, her heart became colder and colder, this cold spread to all her limbs, and she only felt that her face was unrecognizable and ugly.
Except for Amber, no one was on her side.
"Hmph, you just kneel down tonight and reflect on your parents' spirit cards!"
As the elders of the sect hall flicked their sleeves away, the two aunts left one after another with a loud "squeak", and the door of the ancestral hall was slammed shut.
"Miss, Miss, Woo Woo ......"
The room was dark, and Amber fumbled around Yan Minglan by the moonlight. She kept sobbing, but she could imagine being frightened by the scene just now.
"You're the lady of the big house, how dare they...... How can this be! ”
"What's this? People's hearts are sinister, and now that I have no protection from my parents, I should have died a long time ago, and I didn't have expectations for anyone in Yanfu. ”
Yan Minglan's tone was light, and her heart was like stagnant water.
That night taught her a lesson, a very, very fresh lesson.
Amber shook her head desperately, full of regret in her heart. Since this kind of change, the pure and happy young lady in the past has changed, and her personality has become lighter and colder.
Until now, it seems to have become a cold pool without waves, revealing indifference from the inside out.
Amber is powerless to change and can only sobbed sadly.
On the contrary, Yan Minglan comforted her, saying that everything would pass, this was just a temporary tribulation in heaven, gritting her teeth to support the past, she would always be able to clear the clouds and fog and see the rainbow again.
"Amber, can you go out and guard first? I want to be alone with my parents for a while. ”
In the end, Amber should have retreated, and Yan Minglan got the space of one person.
At this time, without the camouflage of strong support, Yan Minglan covered her face and curled up into a ball. Through the darkness to release fragility, countless tears through the fingers, wet the ground.
Father, mother, daughter is really tired......
Yan Minglan was helpless, only feeling that every step forward was like a thousand pounds.
She endured too much malice from the outside world, and when she pretended to be strong and calmly fought back, she forgot that a few months ago, she was still just a carefree girl with the blessing of her parents.
Today, the anger of the elders of the sect hall and the triumphant of the two aunts completely broke Yan Minglan's last trace of defense, returned to its original form, and unveiled the strong disguise.
When she comforted Amber, wasn't she comforting herself? If it weren't for that, I'm afraid I would really want to just walk away and follow my parents out of this chaotic backyard fight.
"Father, mother, daughter to do, what to do?"
Yan Minglan muttered forward and hugged the two spirit cards tightly, tears were like beads with broken threads, and there was no time to settle down.
Amber was guarding outside, hearing the movement in the ancestral hall, her eyes were red, and she felt very sorry for her young lady, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
For the next two hours, Yan Minglan didn't call her in, and the uncomfortable sobbing continued.
It seems that so many grievances are pouring out at this time, breaking the embankment and losing control.
But what Amber didn't know was that Yan Minglan's situation was very bad at the moment.
She was crying no longer than tears, the whites of her eyes were red, and countless blood slipped down her cheeks.
Yan Minglan has always maintained the posture of holding the spirit card in her arms, her face is full of embarrassed blood, and her eyes are beginning to sting. But she couldn't help but feel sad, so the blood and tears kept flowing, piling up into a small puddle.
What she didn't notice was that the ring on her finger began to flicker with a faint light, sending out strange fluctuations. It was accidentally splashed with a drop of blood and tears, and it absorbed all of it, and its energy increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The puddle of blood on the ground was invisibly sucked away by the ring, and as the amount of blood absorbed, the light shone brightly.
This warm light that dispelled the darkness naturally attracted Yan Minglan's attention, and a "drip" sound suddenly sounded in his mind.
"The host is confirming, five, four, three, two, one, binding, opening."
Yan Minglan's eyes widened in shock, all because this mysterious voice echoed in her head too unbelievably. It's a pity that this ethereal male voice didn't give Yan Minglan a chance to buffer, and still said to herself:
"Hello host, I am the instrument spirit of this treasure ring, and I finally waited for you, the person who is destined."
Who are you? Why is it in my mind?
Yan Minglan tried to talk to it.
"You can call me Xuanwu, I am from the Heavenly Ruguo, and I am one of the machine spirits of the Tianru Kingdom. Because it is sealed, the ring on the host's hand activates the medium for your blood. Success woke me up. ”
Machine Spirit ......? Activation......? Ring......?
Yan Minglan couldn't accept these things beyond cognition for a while, if it weren't for the experience of sailing for a few years, I was afraid that she would mistakenly think that this system was a demon and a monster.
"Please don't maliciously slander the host."
The system can sense Yan Minglan's mood fluctuations, and it can also perceive Yan Minglan's thoughts.
Then you get out of my body.
Yan Minglan didn't like the feeling of being seen through all the time, and coldly ordered.
It's a pity that the machine spirit doesn't cooperate, but everything is bound successfully, and if the host wants to untie the connection with itself, it must leave the body with his mind.
Does this mean that the only way to solve it is death?
Yan Minglan frowned, her mood was quite complicated.
"The host has another option, and that is to complete the task."
Task? What is it?
Yan Minglan is like opening the door to a new world, and all she is exposed to is new things to be learned, like an ignorant child.
"Do you know that the sky is like a country?"
Yan Minglan pursed her lips, can you still not know this? This day is a must-know for their translation family.
It is said that this Tianru country was the most powerful country on the map fifty years ago, but for some reason, it disappeared mysteriously overnight.
This matter is already one of the unsolved mysteries, and no one can say why.
……
Yan Minglan was silent.
The machine spirit had already learned her inner thoughts, and said indifferently: "Together with the other machine spirits, because of the disillusionment of the Heavenly Kingdom, I have been displaced all the way, and only two of the four machine spirits have found a host to activate, and the others, I don't know where they are. ”
After Yan Minglan listened, she was thoughtful.
Since he only has this one ring in his hand, and this ring is taken out of the original wooden box. In other words, the other machine spirit was also in that wooden box.
It's just that the wooden box has long been missing, and as for the other machine spirit that has been activated, he has no way of knowing.
As if the system had expected it for a long time, his tone was calm: "The other machine spirit that has been activated is Suzaku. Host, you have to watch out for it, it is the most powerful of the few of us, it has an evil spirit, and it is very ambitious, lest the world be chaotic. If it falls into the hands of those who have a heart, I am afraid it will cause disaster. ”
Yan Minglan's heart moved, with a sharp edge.
In this silent night, one person and one machine spirit asked and answered for a long time, and the novelty diluted Yan Minglan's sadness, which can be regarded as the credit of the machine spirit.
When Amber saw Yan Minglan the next day, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Amber was really worried that she would not be able to stay on track all night, afraid that Yan Minglan would not be able to think about it for a while.
Yan Minglan's heart warmed, and she couldn't help but go over and pat Amber's head.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm worried about you."
The catharsis of the night should be stopped, and the unfinished business is still waiting for Yan Minglan to settle the ledger one by one.
Thinking of the bullying of the sect elder and the two aunts last night, she narrowed her eyes.
"You are very angry today, and there is even a tendency to gradually explode."
The abrupt voice of this instrument made Yan Minglan breathe.
Although after a night of running-in, Yan Minglan had accepted the existence of this alternative machine spirit, she was still frightened enough by the voice in her head.
Machine spirit, if you don't have anything important to do in the future, don't speak easily.
