Chapter 1: The Second Bloodline
"Isn't it about bloodline?" Ryu asked.
"It's about blood succession, but it's not the blood inheritance mentioned earlier." After saying that, Cao Qianyu turned his head to look at the relief on the other side.
"That's?" In doubt, Ryuyu also followed his father's gaze and turned his gaze to the relief.
The relief is not complicated, a woman with dark green hair stands in front of a bamboo forest, holding two bamboo leaves in her hands.
"The one on the statue is the ancestor of our tribe, Cao Qianlanyi, and the two bamboo leaves in her hand are also the source of our family's glory." Cao Qianyu looked at Liuyu's puzzled look and explained.
"I just said that the blood inheritance boundary of the Cao Qian family is seclusion, and seclusion is not a new retreat technique born from the combination of chakras of different natures, but a kind of retreat about the body that circulates in the bloodline of the family. Everyone in the world knows that the Cao Qian family is good at assassination and anti-investigation, but seclusion is not the only blood inheritance of our Cao Qian family. Speaking of this, Ryuyu could clearly feel the excitement and pride on Cao Qianyu's face.
"Well, Father, do you mean that there is a second bloodline in the family?" Hearing this, Ryuyu was also excited. Nima, this crossing gift package is really rich, two bloodlines plus protection from the family. Ryuha seemed to see a bright future and beckoned to her.
"Well, that's right. The second type of blood of the family is the power of 'grass'. You also saw the way to open this place just now, and that grass is the power of the blood inheritance, and it is only through the second blood inheritance of the family that this confined space can be opened. And the names engraved on the wall are the ancestors of the second bloodline of our people who have awakened for generations. Cao Qianyu explained proudly.
"Originally, I wanted to wait until you were five years old before bringing you here, but I didn't expect you to advance at an astonishing rate, far beyond what a four-year-old girl can achieve. Therefore, I will take you to awaken the second bloodline, and master this power one step earlier to .....," Cao Qianyu said with a serious expression.
"Wait, father. You just said that the second blood of the grass thousand clan is the 'power of grass'. And you said that the family emblem of the Cao Qianyi clan comes from Lord Lanyi, so why is the family emblem of the Cao Qianyi clan a bamboo leaf? Ryuha had her own questions.
"Bamboo is also a type of grass." Kusa Senyu was not annoyed by Ryuha's interruption, but replied with confusion.
Well, bamboo seems to be really a herbaceous plant, but in addition to going to Xishuangbanna to see the giant dragon bamboo in his previous life, he has been going back and forth between the two cities where the university and the orphanage are located, and sure enough, he still has too little knowledge in his previous life!
"Lord Lanyi's bamboo escape technique is superb, and he has made a great name in the Warring States Period. It's just that the awakening conditions of this power are too harsh, and it must be the bloodline of the extremely pure grass Qianyi clan, so only a few people in each generation awaken, and the previous generation awakened was me and your mother. However, most people's awakening is incomplete, and they can only simply control the power of the grass, and cannot reach the level of bamboo escape. Cao Qianyu said with regret.
"Isn't it okay for my father?" Ryu asked.
"Me?"
Silence, or silence. Cao Qianyu seemed reluctant to answer this question.
......
"I'm here today to see if your second bloodline can awaken. Your mother and I are both Awakened Ones of the Second Bloodline, and you should be fine in that regard as our child. In the end, Cao Qianyu still broke the silence.
After that, Cao Qianyu began to seal. The center of the ground, which was originally empty, began to flicker with bursts of white light, slowly forming a small stone pillar, which was transparent throughout, about one meter or so.
"Put your hands on it, Ryuha," Kusa Qianyu commanded from the side.
Ever since the stone pillar appeared, Ryuha felt that it seemed to resonate with the blood in his body. The stone pillar seemed to have an inexplicable calling. Ryuyu was also stunned because of this.
"Ryuha." Seeing this, Cao Qianyu couldn't help but remind loudly again.
"Ahh Ryu shook his head when he heard the reminder, suppressing his curiosity about the stone pillar. He walked up and pressed his little hand against the stone pillar.
"And then? Father? ”
"You don't have to do anything, just keep it that way"
......
Isn't this happening for nothing? Ryu Yu wondered in his heart.
Suddenly, the strange call that had just come from the blood began again, and it became more intense, and Ryuyu felt that his body began to become hot, the blood began to boil slowly, and dense fine sweat began to appear on his forehead. The little face was flushed and asked:
"Father, I'm so uncomfortable, what's going on?"
"Hold on, Ryuha." Cao Qianyu said a little nervously, his eyes kept paying attention to the stone pillar under Liuyu's hand, the stone pillar slowly turned into a blood-colored appearance from the bottom, and began to slowly spread from the bottom to the top......
This jade pillar is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation of the Caoqian clan, and it can be used to check whether the blood purity of the Caoqian clan has reached the level of blood succession awakening. If it reaches a level where it is sufficient to awaken the Second Bloodline, the Prestone Pillar will help the Clansman activate the Second Bloodline faster.
But Ryu didn't have the energy to pay attention to the changes in the stone pillar, she felt very uncomfortable at the moment, and the blood seemed to be burning every inch of her flesh and blood. The dense sweat on his forehead slowly condensed into large particles and slid down his cheeks. The burning sensation in her throat became more pronounced, and she began to feel that her breathing was gradually becoming difficult.....
Eventually, Ryuha fainted.
And the blood color on the jade pillar has finally reached the top. Seeing this, Cao Qianyu was obviously relieved and muttered to himself:
"See. Hana, this is our child, this is our child. ”
After speaking, he looked at Ryuyu, who had fainted to the ground, and his eyes were full of love. stepped forward and gently picked up Liuyu, and said softly with a slight apology:
"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have let you come here so early."
......
Breaking free from the darkness and opening his eyes, he was greeted by dense bamboo forests, but he couldn't move. At this moment, a vague female figure appeared in front of her, and she walked gently in front of her. For some reason, she couldn't see her clearly, but Ryuha felt endless warmth, an intuition from the soul, as if the person in front of her was worthy of everything she depended on. In addition to the father, I felt this kindness in the second person. The woman didn't say anything, just touched her cheek gently. An extremely simple action, but Ryuyu felt an inexplicable sadness welling up in his heart. My eyes began to moisten, and I gradually felt tears on my face. Why do you cry? Who is she? Is she her own mother?
Ryuyu tried to keep his eyes open, as if he wanted to see everything in front of him, and wanted to see who the person in front of him was. But no matter how much she struggled, the people in front of her gradually blurred, and the things around her began to blur, as if everything was beginning to move away from her.
Don't, don't, don't leave! Ryu began to shout in his heart, but everything around him disappeared irreversibly, and he fell into darkness again.
.......
Ryuha sat on the bed, panting. Are you dreaming? Reaching out and touching his eyes, the redness and swelling were obvious. Did you really cry yourself? Who is that person? Why does it give me that feeling, why does it have that kind of intimacy and dependence that comes from the instinct of the body? Is she her own mother?
