83. Generational crisis
There is someone behind Hu Dingqian, I have guessed this before, his secret is very important to me, and this point thrown by Hu Yunxi is still quite tempting to me.
But she asked me to leave the fox clan and Hu Dingtang now, which is also impossible.
I'm different from before now, I used to be just an orphan girl who had a relationship with Hu Dingtang, and I could survive if I escaped outside and flew away, but now the entire fox clan knows that I am the mortal daughter of the saint, and this identity will bring me endless trouble.
Staying in the fox clan is the safest for me.
Moreover, I have wanted to leave Hu Dingtang several times because of the oppression of the outside world, and I have already complained to him, and now, everything is about to reach a white heat, and I can't leave him.
I glanced at Hu Yunxi, and my heart had turned a thousand times, listening to her would only shake the hearts of the army, so I chose to refuse: "Hu Yunxi, don't forget, you and Hu Dingqian are two people now, he falls, you will be widowed, you tear down his platform behind his back like this, be careful and regret it later." ”
"I've never liked him, and it's none of my business how he is." Hu Yunxi said stubbornly.
I laughed and said: "Whether you like him or not, you and he are already husband and wife, do you still expect to break him down and throw himself into Hu Dingtang's arms again?" Do you think that with Hu Dingtang's personality, he didn't want you to be ice and jade before, and he still wants you who are broken flowers and willows now? ”
"You!" Hu Yunxi raised her hand angrily to hit me, from the time she entered the door to the present, her forbearance was finally exhausted, "Meng Jiusheng, I didn't expect you to be such a cold-hearted person, you can watch your mother suffer and be indifferent, you will regret it." ”
I reached out to block her hand, held it tightly, and said, "What do you regret?" If you really love Hu Dingtang, you won't threaten me with this, don't you agree to you, and you can watch Hu Dingqian continue to persecute Hu Dingtang? Hu Yunxi, your love is so cheap. ”
I shook off Hu Yunxi's hand, pointed to the door and said, "It's not early, Hu Dingqian will be back in a while, and he saw you pretending to be sick and not going to worship your ancestors and running around, I'm afraid it's not okay, sister-in-law?" ”
This sentence of sister-in-law hit Hu Yunxi hard, she bit her lip tightly, stomped her feet in anger, and then turned around and left.
I looked at Hu Yunxi's back, and I only felt that she was pitiful, she loved someone she shouldn't love in this life, and she became a pawn in the clan struggle, sacrificing her good years in vain.
But how she lives, that is her choice, no one can take advantage of the right time, place and people, everything is smooth.
Hu Dingqian's secret, I want to know, but even if I promise Hu Yunxi to leave Hu Dingtang in exchange for a secret, will she Hu Yunxi be able to successfully return to Hu Dingtang with this secret?
No, she has no way back, Hu Dingtang won't want her, Hu Dingqian won't let her go, I promised her, it's probably just urging her to die.
I was really tired, I closed the door and lay down on the bed, first the man in black, then Hu Yunxi, and the information that both brought me was very annoying.
I can't help but wonder, what is the secret that Hu Yunxi discovered from Hu Dingqian?
It is related to both my mother and Hu Dingqian's father, which seems to coincide with what the man in black told me.
It seems that there is indeed another hidden reason for my mother's suppression, and what worries me even more is whether the person standing behind Hu Dingqian is alive or dead.
I glanced at the wound on the back of my hand, it had already scabbed and fallen, only a shallow mark remained, I have recovered almost this day, and in six days, Hu Dingtang will experience the next painful torture, and if it continues like this, it will not be good for anyone, I am afraid that I will eventually achieve nothing, and come to the fox clan for nothing.
I slowly turned the bone on my wrist, and recalled what Hu Liancheng once told me, he lied to me before that Hu Dingtang's father's bones had grown mandala vines, which I had confirmed to be false, so why did he say that?
Poisonous bones give birth to flowers, this is an allusion, Hu Liancheng told me at that time that he has a nose and eyes, he will not say this allusion for no reason.
Therefore, Hu Liancheng must know something, and even, his words at that time were not groundless, but the object was not Hu Dingtang's father, but ......
Could it be Hu Dingqian's father?
Assuming that the speculation is true, then Hu Dingqian's father should have died in that avalanche, and the dead man will make waves again hundreds of thousands of years later?
Thinking back to Hu Yunxi's words, it suddenly dawned on me.
What secrets will be hidden in Hu Dingqian's room? Probably this secret is about his father, if his father is already dead, but he can secretly help him control some things, then there is only one situation, that is, Hu Dingqian worships something of his father, and this thing condenses his father's mana and other similar things, which can be used by Hu Dingqian.
Thinking about it this way, everything is logical, Hu Dingqian pretends to be a righteous gentleman outside, and all the dirty things he does behind his back are controlled by this thing Hu Dingkun to do, and even without Hu Dingkun, it can be done by itself, just like I was framed that night.
What a skill it is to do such a big thing as a daughter, to do it so quietly, and not a single trace of the slightest trace is left.
This battle does not seem fierce on the surface, but in the dark, those forces that I can't see have been in full swing.
Now, in the ancestral hall, my identity has been completely revealed, Gu Chuan made a move, corrupting Hu Tianling, to a certain extent, it represents my mother's punishment for him, and the holy woman's action will intensify the development of the situation.
Hu Dingqian, Hu Liancheng, these two people hugged each other tightly because of Hu Yunxi, how should I tear everything apart and spread Hu Dingqian's secret in front of everyone?
In my opinion, saving my mother and saving Hu Dingtang, these two have actually merged into one thing a long time ago, after all, the person who harmed them is the same.
I was thinking about it, when suddenly the door was banged, and I suddenly came back to my senses, and a thick smoke choked my mouth and nose, and I coughed violently, only to realize that I don't know when, a layer of gray smoke filled my room.
Someone is still kicking the door, but after the door was broken by Hu Dingtang last time, it was repaired again, and it seemed to be repaired very strongly, and the people outside couldn't open it at all.
I quickly got out of bed and reached for the door, only to find that the door was not locked, but was protected by a layer of mana, which could not be opened by simply kicking it with my foot.
The people who kicked the door outside were shouting, I heard Hu Sangu's voice, this time Hu Qing'an led a group of people to worship in the ancestral tomb, and he shouldn't have come back yet.
I turned my head to look at the window, only to see that the window was spitting yellow-green flames, and the flames were scurrying around, and then I was alerted that someone was trying to burn me to death in this room.
From the color of the flame, it can be seen that this is not an ordinary fire, after all, in the fox clan, ordinary fire is easy to extinguish.
Who is trying to harm me?
This person took advantage of the absence of Hu Qing'an and Hu Dingtang to make a move, obviously planned it early on, and this was to put me to death.
I'm afraid that the surroundings of my room are surrounded by some mana, and I can't get in from the periphery, and it's hard for me to get out.
I looked at Gu Chuan and used my internal force to stimulate its power, but after leaving the ancestral hall, Gu Chuan's power could not be exerted at all.
Did they get the news? I'm afraid it's not optimistic, after all, the ancestral tomb is not something that ordinary people can enter casually, and those who stay can only wait for the sacrifice to be completed, and then report the matter to me after they come out, and when the time comes, the daylily will be cold.
Who can come and save me?
Thinking so, I quickly took out the purse containing the Holy Maiden's Decree and stood in the middle of the room, but I didn't know how to urge the Holy Maiden's Order.
The smoke was billowing in the room, and I had nowhere to hide, so I couldn't stop coughing, pinching my purse, and suddenly saw the black flame on the purse, and subconsciously chanted a spell to urge the black flame to burst into power.
This black flame is a sign of the ghost power of the underworld, of course I know how to urge this ghost power, the black flame rises, the yin wind rises, and instantly expands to all sides, I only hear a whistling wind, the door falls in response, the wooden ridge on the window is shattered, and the tongue of fire is also pressed down, extinguished in the black wind.
When it was all over, I gulped in the fresh air, my heart pounded, I finally calmed down, and when I looked up, I saw a pair of eyes staring at me, with angry or uneasy expressions on my faces.
I don't know what happened, but a bad premonition came straight up from the bottom of my heart, and soon, Hu Qing'an rushed here with a group of people, but there was no Hu Dingtang in the crowd.
Hu Jingyang pointed at me and said sternly: "Everyone has seen it, what is the black qi just now, they are all cultivators, you know in your hearts, whether it is an immortal or a demon, I believe you already have an idea in your heart, you don't need me to say anything." ”
It was only here that I truly understood the meaning of what had just happened.
They did it on purpose.
What I did in the ancestral hall, although I suppressed those side branches and foreign factions, I couldn't convince the seven elders headed by Hu Jingyang, who had been looking for my flaws, and I took out my purse and gave them a chance.
Their room was sealed with mana, and the fire was set by them, in order to force me to use some unexpected means to break the situation when I was at the end of my rope.
With such a powerful mana, the raging tongue of fire, I can't save myself with my internal strength, and I can't exert the power of Gu Chuan, what else can I do?
So it was easy for me to fall for it.
The power of the black flame comes from the underworld, which is not available to ordinary people, and if I use it, then I will be inseparable from the underworld.
Hu Jingyang successfully reversed the good situation that I had won so hard with practical actions so quickly, and this trick was quite vicious.
I looked at the complicated eyes outside, and understood what they saw through me, and they saw the tragedy that happened to the fox clan back then.
Among these people present, the younger generation does not have deep memories, or, like me, has not experienced the disaster at all, but those who have deep memories will take the trouble to describe the scene with them.
And all of them were instilled with a deep-rooted idea, that is, that the disaster was brought about by my mother's love for someone she shouldn't love, and I was the daughter of that person, and I showed explosive power that did not belong to the fox clan, and it was logical that they would feel that I would repeat my mother's mistake and bring another disaster to the fox clan.
I don't know who said: "She is not the daughter of a saint, she is a demon girl and a witch." ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the echoing voices came and went: "I'd rather believe it than believe it, our fox clan hasn't completely recovered from that disaster, and we can't withstand another disaster like that." ”
"What does it mean to believe that it is? Didn't you see that black gas just now? Can you burst out with that netherworld power? ”
"She was sent back by that person to take revenge, the saint is not dead, and the thief is not dead."
"We can't let her stay in our fox clan, we must get rid of her!"
"If you drive away, can you guarantee that she won't come back in another form? Pretending to be a mortal woman this time, what about next time? ”
"I think it's easiest to slaughter her with a knife, and it's a hundred!"
"Lend you a hundred dares, do you dare to slaughter? If she could be slaughtered, when she was born, could the patriarch and the seven elders not make a move? I'm afraid that it will burn you even more! ”
"So what do you say?"
"I see, I'll be imprisoned first!"
"Yes, imprison first."
Almost as soon as I was called, in the blink of an eye, I was surrounded by airtightness, and two of the seven elders came to detain me personally.
At this time, there is no point in resisting, the entire fox clan is against me, can I run the monk, can I run the temple?
But soon, someone next said something that made me completely angry, he said: "I think, it's useless to just imprison her, the root is still in the body of the saint, the saint will not die for a day, and the fox clan will never be at peace." ”
I could hardly believe that this came from the mouth of a fox people, and shouted: "The holy woman is the protector of the entire fox clan, kill her, and the fox clan will not end well!" ”
"At this time, you are still trying to curse the fox clan, I think you will die without repentance!" Hu Jingyang reprimanded.
Someone in the crowd fanned the flames: "I said why no new saint has been born over the years, it turns out that the saint did not die in childbirth at all, and she made such a scourge." ”
"This matter, I think, patriarch, you have to give us an explanation." An elderly man from the foreign department stepped forward and challenged Hu Qing'an, "Although the saintess saved the fox clan with her own strength and won the opportunity for the fox clan to survive, everyone should not forget that this disaster was caused by her, if it wasn't for the news that the saint died in childbirth, I think, the punishment should still be borne by the saint, right?" ”
"Brother Bingguang, is this blaming me for using my power for personal gain and favoring the little girl without authorization?" Hu Qing'an asked rhetorically, "But back then, the little girl was indeed dystocia, and when she was dying, she was sealed in the forbidden land, that is, she was left to fend for herself, including throwing the newborn baby girl in the snow, all with the same intention, these are all decisions made by me after consulting with Brother Jingyang and other elders, we are all for the sake of the fox clan, no one expected that their mother and daughter would have such a hard life, and they all survived." ”
"As you said, we could punish the little girl back then, and even take her life with a knife, she died, according to the tradition of the fox clan, there will be the next saint Maiden in the world immediately, but have you ever thought that the saints of the fox clan have died when their lives have arrived, or they have died at the end of their lives, or they have died in battle for the fox clan, this is all in accordance with the destiny of heaven, so God will send the next saint for us."
"And when the little girl was about to die in childbirth, she was sealed for hundreds of thousands of years but she didn't die, isn't this God not accepting her? If we had killed her without permission, who would have borne the curse? ”
"That's a change of life against the sky, angering the heavens, the fox clan will really be cursed by the heavens, maybe from now on, our fox clan will no longer have any saints born, then then, when the fox clan encounters a catastrophe, who will protect it?"
"Can you afford all of this?"
Hu Qing'an's words were loud and reasonable, and successfully blocked those gossips, and I looked at him differently.
I can imagine how much pressure he was under to keep our mother and daughter in that way, saying that we were left to fend for ourselves, and if he hadn't fought for it, maybe we wouldn't even have had this chance to fend for ourselves.
It's not that he doesn't love his children, it's not that he doesn't love his offspring, but some things are difficult to do both, and he can only find a balance in the cracks to create a small chance for us to live.
It is difficult to be a person, and it is even more difficult to be a decision-maker.
Look at those aggressive side branches, Hu Jingyang, who is about to explode every minute, and the other elders who take Hu Jingyang's horse as the head, which one is not as good as a jackal, tiger and leopard, staring at Hu Qing'an?
Ambition, everyone will have it, who doesn't want to be high and keep their word?
And sitting in a high position, can not be prepared for danger in times of peace, coordinate the overall situation, there will be a danger of being dragged down at all times, one person falls, it may be the decline of the entire main branch, the side branch is on top, drive all the killing, no one wants to live alone.
Therefore, Hu Qing'an's situation is not good, inside, you need to guard against the relatives who are incapable but have to jump up and down, and outside, you have to firmly press the conspiracy of those ambitious people in the side branches, I think, but if one of Hu Qing'an's children is a real capable and well-behaved existence, he will not face such a generational crisis.
The glory of our family is on his shoulders alone, and he does not want to fall, and he must not fall.
Now, he is once again in such a situation, although his words have temporarily calmed everyone, but if he does not come up with a reasonable decision to deal with me, it will be difficult to calm the anger of the people.
He turned to me and said, "As for what to do with this girl......
