When Xia Shu was stabbed, the rest of the elders also reacted, but after they confirmed Xia Shu's death, the elders who attacked Xia Shu were gone.

Xia Yi stayed in this timeline for another two days, and it wasn't until the third day that the villagers found the elder who attacked Xia Shu.

Xia Yi followed him to a pit in the mountains to the north, where the elder was in the pit, his eyes were closed, and there were dense small holes on his body, and dark red blood flowed from the small holes.

"It must have been killed by the people behind the scenes!" The villagers speculated.

Xia Yi agreed half of this sentence.

He looked to his right, and there, there was a short and thin boy, that was Xia Yuan, the other young master besides Xia Shu and Xia Yi, and also Xia Qing's master, who was behind Xia Shu's death.

This incident must have been caused by him.

After taking a deep look at Xia Yuan, who was secretly laughing with the female subordinates, Xia Yi withdrew his gaze.

He looked around again and found a woman from the royal sister department, it was Xia Ke, the fourth young master.

Xia Ke also noticed Xia Yi, she came to Xia Yi's face, and said, "What do you think?" Who instructed the Second Elder? ”

Her voice was the same as her appearance, full of mature feeling, looking at her, Xia Yi couldn't help but think of Fang Bei of the Green Snake Society.

"The Second Elder is not necessarily instructed." Xia Yi replied.

"How?" Xia Ke raised an eyebrow.

Xia Yi remembered again that he had obviously dragged Xia Qing before, but Xia Shu was still kidnapped.

That's because the little girl with the doll has transformed into Xia Qing.

The Second Elder, perhaps before the ceremony began, had already been replaced.

"You mean someone disguised as the Second Elder?" Although he didn't get Xia Yi's answer, Xia Ke continued, "I've never heard of such a ghost slashing bloodline. ”

"Maybe it's a shame."

"This is impossible, with the protection of the ancestral gods, there is no way to approach the village."

Listening to Xia Ke's words, Xia Yi frowned, compared to herself, an impostor young master, Xia Ke is a real young master, she said that there will be no one to enter the village, there should really be none.

It's not a ghost, it's not a ghost, what is it?

"Can you turn into someone else's corpse?" Xia Yi asked again.

"When the ritual is performed, all the corpses are removed." Xia Ke once again denied Xia Yi's speculation.

Xia Yi had no choice.

Forget it, I just need to be able to complete the ritual.

Thinking of this, Xia Yi relaxed.

It's just a game, and it's hard to find a clue in one place, but it doesn't need to be tangled for too long, and I'm not fully in control.

And this incident is not completely without clues, the little girl who met Xia Qing that night and held the doll was a breakthrough.

But don't rush it for now, and the most important thing is to carry out the ceremony.

The reading file went back to October 17, the day before the ceremony, when Xia Shu arrived in the evening, Xia Yi warned the girl to be aware of the attack of the second elder.

If Xia Yi and Xia Shu were just ordinary brother and sister relationships, Xia Shu would definitely not believe Xia Yi, but Xia Shu's favorability towards Xia Yi was ninety-three points.

"I'll take notice." Xia Shu didn't suspect it, and didn't ask Xia Yi how he knew.

The next day, the ceremony took place as normal.

This time, unlike the previous world line, before the ritual began, Xia Yi met the mother of this body.

The woman was waiting for Xia Yi not far from the attic door, Xia Yi stepped forward, said hello ordinarily, and thought about why this time was different from the previous world line.

Is it because he reminded Xia Shu?

"Something happened." The woman and Xia Yi said, "The leylines were attacked last night, and your awakening ritual may fail. ”

Xia Yi didn't care about the leyline attack or something, but the fact that the awakening ritual might fail made Xia Yi care very much.

It was he who reminded Xia Shu that Xia Yuan knew, so Xia Yuan deliberately did this to disgust himself?

Xia Yi thought of this possibility.

"Go ahead, there's still a good chance of success." Dropping these words, the woman left the attic.

Xia Yi entered the attic, the same as before, and carried out the ceremony.

At the last step, the second elder came out to attack Xia Shu again, but was stopped by the third elder next to him, and the rest of the elders who reacted also rushed up, but they still couldn't keep the second elder.

Why did the Second Elder still come and attack? His own warning to Xia Shu was not exposed? And what about the leylines?

Xia Yi was puzzled.

After the episode, the ceremony continued, and Xia Shu poured water from the long wooden spoon on Xia Yi's body.

The water was very hot, and the part of Xia Yi's body where the water flowed through it also became hot, and this heat penetrated deep into his skin and came to the blood vessels, and his blood slowly boiled.

What followed was a sharp pain, but it was acceptable compared to the previous ways of dying.

Beside him, the nine elders looked at Xia Yi, their eyes were originally curious and teasing, but they slowly turned into amazement.

They whispered:

"Yi boy didn't even call out at all!"

"The older I get, the more my blood boils, and the pain is terrible!"

"It's not called at all, it has the style of my time!"

"Hey, I remember someone fainted in pain all of a sudden!"

"The old man's business, can you faint? It's the loss of consciousness, and the loss of consciousness is not called faint! ”

"Well, maybe the ritual failed, and the bloodline was not drawn out at all."

"Kid Xia Yi is also a sect family after all, and the slightest change in the leyline should not affect the awakening of the bloodline."

"Look, it worked!"

The elders' eyes fell on Xia Yi's body again, and they saw an earthy yellow gourd phantom, gathered around Xia Yi.

"There is actually a phantom, and the girl was not so clear when she was a child!"

"Xia Shu's girl is nine years old, Xia Yi is so old, it's decent!"

"You can't say that, after all, you've only woken up."

Not paying attention to the whispers of the elders, Xia Yi's eyes were dark at this time, and he found that he had come to the same dark space as when he saw the green snake in Yuqi City before.

In the space, there is an earthy yellow, one-man tall gourd.

Under the gourd, there was a large mouth full of sharp teeth, and the large mouth opened and closed one by one, and bit him fiercely on the shoulder.

！！！

Suddenly waking up, Xia Yi found that he was already lying on the bed.

Pulling back the curtains, it was already dark outside, and when I looked at the bed, the little maid was lying there, asleep.

The ceremony, has it been completed?

What kind of changes have you made?

He clicked on the system panel.
