Chapter 6 Clan Sacrifices
"Childe Hakusu"
Commander Yi turned his head to look at Ji Baisu and said:
"Can you explain what you're keeping your crossbow for?"
Ji Baisu sorted out the chaotic thoughts, and then said clearly:
"My lord, because I have been weak since I was a child, I want to use some foreign objects for self-defense. But after I was insulted by Cang Yao and Ji Kong yesterday afternoon, I was disheartened, so I came back and asked Cheng Shi to help me destroy the crossbow. I was also surprised that Ji Kong and Cang Yao had an accident, but I don't have the ability to harm them. Miss Ni knows best that I am a very wretched person. ”
Ji Baisu turned his head to Ni Mengxin.
"Really? Miss Ni"
Commander Yi also looked over.
As soon as Ni Mengxin raised her head, she saw that all eyes were focused on her, especially Ji Baisu's calm and indifferent gaze, which made her heart tremble.
Originally, she didn't believe that the murderer who killed Cang Yao and abolished Ji Kong would be Ji Baisu, just to echo Ji Yan.
At this time, she suddenly felt a little convinced that the murderer was probably the teenager in front of her who she regarded as a wreck.
Although she is very scheming, she is just a girl no matter how she says it.
Under Ji Baisu's calm but hidden cold gaze and Ji Zhenyuan's undisguised gaze threatened, Ni Mengxin nodded tremblingly and said:
"Ji Baisu didn't dare to kill. ”
"You ......"
Ji Yan, who was still guilty of not pulling Ni Mengxin, suddenly became angry, but he was very urban than Ji Kong, and he stopped as soon as he said a word, but his face was a little gloomy.
"Although Miss Ni testified, she still has to give it a try, come and give Bai Su Gongzi a crossbow and good arrows. ”
Commander Yi ordered.
Ji Baisu took the extremely familiar crossbow, but still pretended to be very jerky.
"Bai Su Gongzi shot the lotus fifty paces away. ”
Yi led the way.
Ji Baisu raised his hand and aimed leisurely, his crosshair trembling all the time.
"Pounding"
The spring vibrates.
Ji Baisu shook his wrist cooperatively.
The arrow grazed the edge of the lotus leaf and pierced the water.
"The suspicion of Bai Su Gongzi is basically ruled out. Let go of Master Cheng Ling, let's go. ”
Commander Yi said lightly.
"Yes"
The sergeants quickly gathered their ranks and walked out of the Rain Garden.
Ji Yan was unwilling in his heart, but in the face of a general who could even go to a major town, Commander Yi, who had the strength of the True Yuan Realm, and Ji Zhenyuan, who was eyeing him from the side, he could only hold back his anger, regardless of Ni Mengxin, and left angrily.
Ni Mengxin didn't show any dissatisfaction, but just left in a hurry behind Ji Yan, as if Ji Baisu's eyes had been staring at her tightly on her back.
After the crowd left.
Ji Baisu turned to Cheng Shi and asked:
"Master Cheng, are you okay?"
The old man shook his head and said:
"There are ladies, and they didn't hurt the old slaves. ”
Ji Baisu nodded and said soothingly:
"Go back and rest!"
Cheng Shi nodded and said goodbye to Cheng Xuanqing.
Ji Baisu walked up to his mother and said:
"Mother, are you alright?"
Cheng Xuanqing clutched her chest, she was just out of breath and had chest pain again.
Shaking her head, Cheng Xuanqing didn't ask Ji Baisu if he was really the murderer, but touched his son's head and said softly:
"Su'er, did they bully you yesterday?"
Ji Baisu's eyes were hot, he held back his tears and didn't let them flow, shook his head, and said:
"Mother, the child is not angry, and you are worried. ”
Cheng Xuanqing shook his head, his eyes were also red, and said:
"Silly child, which mother doesn't worry about her child. It's just that you are bullied, but the mother can't protect you, and the mother is the wreck!"
"Mother"
Ji Bai threw himself into Cheng Xuanqing's arms, and Cheng Xuanqing hugged the thin child and Ji Zhenyuan on the side.
Night falls.
Hime-Shira-su room.
Ji Zhenyuan took the page of paper that copied the mental method of "Divine Fire Dao" and recited it.
Ji Baisu lay on the bed thoughtfully.
"Brother, I don't think your bloodline is actually weak, but we are all embodied in the body, and you are embodied in the brain. ”
Ji Zhenyuan put down the paper and said to Ji Baisu.
"How?"
Ji Baisu came back to his senses.
"You only read this page once and memorized it, but I memorized it thirty times and still haven't memorized it, isn't it the difference between the brain?"
Ji Baisu smiled dumbly and said:
"That's because you don't care. ”
"Brother"
Ji Zhenyuan suddenly said seriously:
"You tell me the truth, what is the matter between Cang Yao and Ji Kong...... Not your ......?"
Ji Baisu looked at Ji Zhenyuan's face, nodded imperceptibly for a long time.
Ji Zhenyuan showed a hint of a smile and said in a low voice:
"That's what I guessed. It's just two scumbags, brother, don't worry, if the real thing is revealed, my father will blame it, and I will carry it. ”
Ji Baisu smiled bitterly and said silently in his heart:
"Cang Wushuang is his father's right-hand man, will he ignore Cang Wushuang for the sake of me, a waste son? and the Cheng family after my grandfather's death is about to fall, and the Xiang family behind the second lady is the first family of Wanfeng City worthy of the name. The Xiang family will definitely not give up......"
Ji Baisu knew in his heart that he had escaped the catastrophe with the protection of Commander Yi today, and it was still difficult to have a good time in the future.
"It's a big deal, it's just a big deal, it's just a burden to my mother......"
Ji Baisu was secretly sad in his heart:
"But there is also the fifth brother Magaki, with him, my mother should not be wronged. ”
"Let's sleep!"
Ji Baisu smiled at Ji Zhenyuan and said:
"There will be an ancestral sacrifice early tomorrow morning. ”
Ji Zhenyuan nodded and said:
"I almost remember, I'll sleep with you tonight. ”
Early the next morning.
The ancestral land of the Ji family.
The huge square is dotted with towering columns, each depicting a mighty tiger stepping on flames.
This is the ancestor of the Ji family, and it is also the totem of the Ji family, the god of Ji Hu.
The teenagers in sacrificial robes lined up in a long line, looking like people in their seventies and eighties.
The members of the Ji Mansion are only one of the lineages, and the Ji family has other people of the same clan.
"When the time comes, the head of the family will open the ancestral land"
A strangely dressed priest with a red feather on his head shouted.
In addition to the teenagers, there is a group of Ji family clansmen around. After the priest shouted that sentence, the tribesmen all knelt down.
"Father"
In the crowd, Ji Baisu looked up at the man standing beside the sacrifice.
It is no longer the usual majestic appearance of purple robes, and it also wears a set of sacrificial clothes, but it still exudes a faint majesty.
"Ancestral Land"
Ji Qi also shouted, and with a wave of his hand, a red flame hit the ancient bronze door not far away.
The bronze door lit up and slowly opened to the sides.
Ji Qi walked into the ancestral land alone.
"Enter the ancestral land with the head of the family. ”
The priest shouted.
A group of teenagers stepped into the ancient bronze gate in a solemn* atmosphere.
The clansmen kneeling outside the ancestral land raised their heads and looked at the backs of their children, their eyes full of eagerness.
Ancestral sacrifice is almost the most crucial thing in determining the fate of these children.
If their children can be recognized by the ancestor Ji Tiger God Totem, then they can soar into the sky and follow the head of the family.
They also rose to the top, and their status also improved accordingly, and there was also harsh competition within the Ji family.
At the front of the crowd were the two ladies of Ji Qi, the head of the Ji family.
Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Xuanqing.
Second lady, Xiang Chen.
The third lady was unable to enter the ancestral land because she was originally a maidservant.
The second lady, Xiang Chen, stared at the unusually thin figure in the young team, her eyes full of resentment.
Because Himekong became a wasted person, he is still lying in bed and cannot participate in the ancestral sacrifice.
The ancestral sacrifice of selecting the totem seed is only once in a lifetime, and Ji Kong can't participate this time, so he won't have a chance in the future.
How can Xiang Chen not be resentful.
If it weren't for Ji Qi's presence and the ancestral sacrifice, Xiang Chen would probably pounce directly and tear that thin figure apart.
