Need to hug the whole box, carved 'female' travel map, there are entwined branches of 'flower' vine in the corner, blooming like a mountain rose like 'flower' flowers, large clusters, the carving 'fine' Zhan, you can see the depth of the 'flower' vine and the faint skirt corner of Miaoman's 'woman'.

The lid of the box is inlaid with gold plates with the 'flower' pattern of entwined branches, and there is a small copper lock, which is very old and requires a toothed copper key to open.

Master Lijue 'groped' around his neck, and finally took out a bronze key with the length of his middle finger, and he handed it to 'Hua' Jiu in silence.

The fingertips stroked all the keys, and with Master Jue's body temperature, the nine 'flowers' groaned for a moment, and still aimed the key at the keyhole.

Xu is the lock has not been opened for a long time, the keyhole is not slippery enough, 'Hua' Jiu 'plugged' in, twisted for a long time, did not move at all, Xi Zixiao took the handle, held her hand hard, heard a click, the lock opened.

Xi Zixiao withdrew his hand, this kind of thing is better for 'Hua' Jiu to come by himself.

Without the slightest hesitation, she opened the box suddenly, and a dry and moldy smell rushed straight to the tip of her nose, her brows furrowed, and she saw that at the bottom of the box, there was a large booklet, and a 'jade' carved pendant was inside.

"These two things are the belongings of the donor's 'jade' clan, which have been passed down from the master of the poor monk master and the master of many generations, in order to 'hand' over to the donor today." Master Jue's words carry a kind of vicissitudes, which makes people hear the sourness.

At least 'Hua' Jiu is eyes are astringent, although her surname is 'Hua', and she also has half of the blood of the 'Hua' family, but she has never had any sense of belonging to the 'Hua' family, and at this moment, she just looked at these two things, and felt a slight pain in her heart, that is the attachment to the family in the blood bones, and the part of her body that belongs to the 'jade' family woke up in an instant.

She reached out and picked up the booklet, held it with reverence in both hands, laid it down on the desk with great respect, and stroked it with her fingertips with the memories of her body, the book cover was made of some kind of animal soft skin, with an uneven texture.

She finally slowly opened it, and at first glance, her pupils shrank, and as far as she could see, it was-

Genealogy!

'Hua' Jiu looked at Master Jue in surprise, this big booklet turned out to be the genealogy of the 'Yu' family.

"Amitabha, every many years, there will be a descendant of the 'jade' clan here, open the box, the last time was the donor's mother more than ten years ago, as for what she did, the poor monk didn't know." Master Jue said with a single palm.

The pale eyes 'color' has a warm light rising, and the 'flower' nine is under the gaze of Xi Zixiao, she turned another page, but the text on the first page is a record of the origin of the 'jade' family, and the whole article is only a simple sentence, "Coming from time and space, with strange incense, 'jade' surname, Xuan name, there is a 'jade' family." ”

The meaning of the first two sentences 'Hua' Jiu read it several times, but she still didn't understand it, she didn't bother with this, and turned straight back, it was the portrait of the ancestor called 'Jade' Xuan, even if the time was long, it could be seen that it was a man with beautiful eyebrows, and then the descendants of the 'Jade' clan, generation after generation There are more people from generation to generation, and the 'Jade' family has gradually prospered with the fragrance skills and recipes left by the ancestors, and the most rare thing is that each ' The jade family can find a portrait on the family tree, which is very different from the genealogy of other families.

'Hua' Jiu has seen the genealogy of the 'Hua' family, but it is only the name and approximate relationship of the heirs, but there is no portrait.

She omitted the middle and didn't look at it, and finally found her mother's name in the last chapter - 'jade' astringent, there is still a small portrait, looking at that face, according to the appearance of the mother in her memory, 'flower' Jiu doesn't need to think about it to know, it should have been painted by her mother herself more than ten years ago, and the 'jade' formula she is carrying now may also be taken out at that time, and then prepared in her dowry.

Because behind this genealogy, there are fewer and fewer descendants of the 'Yu' clan, and several generations are single-handed.

"Jiu'er, look at this." Xi Zixiao was sharp-eyed, and at a glance he could see that there were uneven places on the first few pages of the 'jade'.

'Hua' Jiu turned a few pages forward, and suddenly saw that a page had been torn up in the middle, and it was torn in a hurry, and a small half was still left on it.

She searched and compared the relationship between the ancestors before and after, "How could it be torn apart?" It should be recorded here that the 'daughter' of this ancestor is right. ”

"One more description." Xi Zixiao stretched out his hand and pointed to the small half of the remaining paper, and in the most inconspicuous place, there was still a row of very small words.

'Flower' Jiumiao's approach, chanting, "'Female', with a strange fragrance......"

Only these half-clear words reminded 'Hua' Jiu of the queen mother who was killed in the palace, but the queen mother was also rumored to have a strange fragrance, which caused the first emperor to be fascinated.

Thinking of this, 'Hua' Jiu closed the family tree and asked Master Jue, "I don't know how much the master still knows about the 'Jade' family?" 'Hua', I implore the master to tell the truth. ”

Hearing this, he looked at the 'flower' nine, stared at it, and said after a while, "There is a past Buddha in the past, and there is a future Buddha in the future, so why should the donor be entangled in the past." ”

'Hua' Jiu shook his head slightly, "It's not a secret, the Sun family in the capital has already tried the 'Hua' clan, including the previous time the 'Hua' clan entered the palace, the queen mother suddenly died, the emperor was angry, the 'Hua' clan was almost beheaded by the emperor, these piles and piles of things, all show that it is related to the 'jade' family, the 'Hua' clan does not seek fame and fortune, but does not want to be coveted day and night, maybe one day and one morning will no longer be able to open their eyes, the Buddha also often says, saving a life is better than creating a seven-level floating slaughter, the master told him today, naturally it is saved' Flowers' one life goes. ”

Master Lijue was silent for a long time, he bent down to pick up the teacup, drank one sip after another, and finally sat down again under the Bodhi tree, twisting the Buddha in his hand, and sighed for a long time and said, "This is also a cycle of cause and effect, and the poor monks will inform the donor, and I hope that after the donor knows, he will remember that God has the virtue of a good life, and don't get entangled in the front edge." ”

"Naturally, the 'Hua' clan only wants to save their 'life' for one day, and they don't ask for much." 'Hua' Jiu pulled Xi Zixiao to sit down again, she took out the 'jade' pendant from the box, and found that the 'jade' pendant was a round shape the size of a copper coin, and there was no carving on both sides, which was extremely simple.

"In the previous dynasty, the Sun family was just a small family that did not enter the stream, far less than the 'jade' family, the donor just saw the page that was torn off, it used to be a strange 'daughter' of the 'jade' family, the 'jade' clan was glorious for a while, and was wiped out overnight because of her, these are all poor monks listened to the previous master, passed down from generation to generation." Master Lijue poured a full cup of tea and began to tell the story of that little-known history.

It is rumored that the 'female' son is called 'jade' Qing, although the surname is 'jade', but it is not the 'jade' family bloodline, only because of its mother after the death of her husband and widowhood, and people 'private' through the result of the secret knot, 'jade' Qing mother is 'jade' daughter-in-law, the fragrance talent is also counted, as far as the 'jade' family is true, when pregnant with 'jade' Qing, it is constantly swallowed or smeared on their own body a unique incense, it is said that the formula of this incense is not perfect, what effect no one knows, but later the incense of the city is derived from this incense.

Finally, when 'Jade' Qing was born and slipped out of the mother's womb, he was not only healthy, but also born with a strange fragrance.

This is the result that Yu's mother wants, because only such a Yuqing can be allowed to stay in Yu's house and take the surname of 'Yu'.

Even the 'jade' Qing was recorded in the family tree.

The "jade" family, because of the "jade" Qing, has a great reputation, and the magic of the "jade" fragrance has been exaggerated to the point that it can grow muscles with white bones.

However, when 'Yu' Qing was seventeen years old, she fell in love with a man, this man was a member of the Sun family, close to 'Yu' Qing, but it was just a formula for the 'Yu' family, and his methods were not clever, but 'Yu' Qing still stole the family formula for him and 'eloped' with him.

Running for a concubine, the fate of 'jade' Qing is naturally miserable, abandoned by others, reduced to begging, but her strange fragrance, can not be covered up at all, several times into the dust, her end is unknown, some people say that she was finally rescued by an infatuated knight, the two lived a life of seclusion in the mountains and forests, some people say that she burned down the brothel one night, got the property of the bustard, bought a house in a small town that no one knows, closed the door and did not come out, there are many sayings, but one thing is certain, ' Yu'qing gave birth to offspring, and as long as her offspring were 'female', they all had a strange fragrance.

The 'jade' family gradually declined with the change of dynasty, and when the Sun family followed the Great Yin Shi Emperor to occupy the country, the people of the Sun family had their own greed, and instigated the Great Yin Shi Emperor to lead troops to destroy the 'jade' family overnight, and the name of the 'jade' clan never existed.

After Master Lijue finished speaking, the 'flower' was expressionless, and the wind sounded from among the Bodhi branches, and there were fallen leaves like butterflies swaying down, and she asked in a cold voice, "So that means that the Sun family still has a recipe for the 'jade' family?" ”

Master Lijue nodded, "Unlike the one in the donor's hand, the Sun family's share is only an obscure recipe record, and without the one in the donor's hand, it is categorically useless, and the Heavenly family naturally has a few sporadic formulas." ”

Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on the side of 'Hua' Jiu's mouth, "I think it was the 'jade' Qing who also paid attention to it at the beginning, if the people of the Sun family treated her well, she would naturally offer it together, if she lost it, the convenience would be useless." ”

In this regard, Master Lijue did not comment.

'Hua' Jiu rubbed the 'jade' pendant in his hand, and the light brilliance in his almond eyes appeared, "Then the queen mother is the descendant of the 'jade' Qing Dynasty?" There is no 'jade' clan with the bloodline of the 'jade' family. ”

Master Enlightenment nodded.

'Hua' Jiu got up with satisfaction, the purpose of going to Fahua Temple today was to achieve, she held the 'jade' pendant, squinted one eye in the direction of the light for a long time, and asked in a fluttering voice, "Dare to ask, what is the identity of the master who first kept the 'jade' family tree?" ”

If the first master who kept the genealogy had nothing to do with the 'Yu' family, how could he know so clearly about the secret things.

"Master has a saying, if the donor asks, you can say it directly, if the donor doesn't ask, then don't mention it," I looked at the tea stalk in the tea cup in front of me, the face of the tea soup had faded, and even the taste of tea was a little less, "The first master is a descendant of the 'jade' family." ”

As he spoke, he opened the family tree, turned to a certain page, and pointed to a man on it and said, "This person escaped and has been a monk incognito since then." ”

'Hua' Jiu lowered his eyes, and the man on the portrait could see that it was a baby face, his eyes were smiling and squinting, like a crescent moon, very kind, who would have thought, but in the end, he abandoned his surname and spent his life.

"'Hua' Clan understands, thank you, Master." After a long time, the voice of 'Hua' Jiu came, with an unreal etherealness, she put the family tree into the box, let Xi Zixiao hold it for her, and bowed to Master Jue with great respect.
