"Just say it!" I didn't care, I didn't take my cousin's words seriously at all.

"Xiaoxue, do you really want to do it?" My cousin repeated it again and again, and her expression was always so serious and serious, that I had to be intrigued.

I was silent for a long time and asked, "Cousin, you can tell me first whether this matter is a good thing or a bad thing." "Actually, my cousin's expression has already told me that this is probably a bad thing, but I want to give my brain a little buffer time before accepting it.

"That's bad news!"

"That's ...... About whom? ”

"You...... Own! ”

"Myself?" I never thought I would have bad news about myself. Could it be Brother Yu Tong, who found the person in the painting? But I don't think it's possible, because the man is dead! Yu Tong's brother will never find her again.

"Which one?" I really can't think of any bad news about myself.

Just when I thought my cousin would say the word "feelings", she only said one word:

"Sick!"

I was taken aback. Standing up, staring at his cousin, he asked, "You mean...... Am I sick? ”

Vaguely, I thought of something, a curse that I was most reluctant to accept!

"That's right! Xiaoxue is sick! Genetic disorders. ”

Genetic disease! It's a curse, a nightmare! I fell to the top of my chair and felt weak. It turns out that I can't escape this curse.

"Impossible!" I'm still trying to deceive myself, saying, "I'm eighteen now, why am I still so healthy?" How could I have a genetic disorder? No way! Cousin, you must be mistaken! I...... How can I have a genetic disorder? ”

"Xiaoxue, although the news is heavy. But I think you have to make it clear first that congenital venereal diseases and genetic diseases are two different concepts, congenital venereal diseases are born with them, and genetic diseases are problems with the genetic material. Its pathological traits do not always manifest themselves at birth, and some do not develop until a certain age! ”

I looked at my own reflection in the teacup, my face, my lips were pale.

I hate the way I look because it's really ugly.

I bit my lip and was silent for a long time, digesting this fact that I couldn't accept!

I actually have a genetic disease! Why didn't Mom tell me? Why?

I'm so sad that my mother is cheating on me too!

I thought about the tragic appearance of those people I saw when I was a child, and I didn't want to be like them! It's better to live than to die!

But I didn't want to die. I'm still young, I still have a lot of things I haven't experienced, and I can even say that I haven't had a full life yet!

I don't want to be perfect, I just want to be complete!

I cried, tears rolling down my cheeks and dripping in the teacup. The pale green tea in the cup rippled.

"Xiaoxue......" my cousin called me softly.

I heard it, but I didn't want to speak.

"Light Snow ......"

"Xiaoxue, don't be so pessimistic......"

"Cousin," I asked, looking up, wiping away tears, "when will I have a seizure?" ”

"Thirty-five years old! So...... You still have a long time left. ”

"Am I going to die? Otherwise, why would you come and tell me this question? ”

"Yes......" After a long time, my cousin nodded, but shook her head again, "Not exactly!" ”

She looked at me a little sadly and said, "Xiaoxue, now the entire Wu family knows that you have a genetic disease, and it will have an attack when you are thirty-five years old.

But the first seizure, you don't die. It's just painful, and if it's not cured, it will happen again at the age of seventy. If at that point, you really let the disease come out completely, you will become a vegetative state, and by the third time, you will die. That is, you will live to be one hundred and five years old at most! This...... It's less than half the lifespan of our people...... The average life expectancy of our people is now two hundred and eighty years......

"But...... I felt like I was going to die at seventy. What is the difference between a living vegetative person and a dead person? ”

I was so sad that I didn't even notice the word "cure" in my cousin's words. I have the impression that genetic diseases are incurable.

"Xiaoxue, don't be too decadent. Because you are different from them, you are a sacrifice spirit! Your genetic diseases can be cured, and this is clearly written in the genetic map. And we know you're going to have a genetic disease, and it's because of that genetic map. It seems that the ancestor has long thought that there will be something wrong with your genes, so he has arranged other ways for you to retreat. ”

"Yes...... Cure? "I was stunned, I was shocked, I didn't believe it!

I never thought there would be room for manoeuvre in genetic diseases.

"Hmmm! But this is still very difficult for you now, if you want to cure your disease, you have to activate the power of Ling Yue in your body! And if you want to activate the power of Ling Yue in your body, you have to go to the Hidden Cloud Palace. But the specific location of the Hidden Cloud Palace, as well as the detailed method of entering the Hidden Cloud Palace, were placed with my father. He won't give it to you now. So...... Xiaoxue, I want to come to discuss with you, and let's go and steal the map of the Hidden Cloud Palace together.

”

"Aren't you afraid your father will be angry?" I asked.

My cousin shook her head, "Actually, my father and I have been at odds for a long time. A lot of the things he did were really excessive. His prestige among his clan was waning. This is a question that I am very worried about, I am afraid that one day, someone will suddenly rise up and pull my father from the position of patriarch!

Well! Xiaoxue, I'm not talking about you and your mother. Actually, I hope you can go back as soon as possible to become a priest and inherit the position of patriarch. In that case, I can at least ask you to spare my father's life. But if the position of the patriarch falls into the hands of Wu Yan, then my father ...... and he will surely die. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and sighed, it is naturally the best to not die and not get sick.

I also sighed a little, how can such a perverted person as the old thief have such a daughter as his cousin?

I took my cousin's hand and said softly, "Cousin, if I can really become a priest, then I will promise you not to kill him." But...... For the sake of peace in the clan, he will most likely be placed under house arrest! ”

"Xiaoxue, thank you!" My cousin's voice was a little choked, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "Then let's go back now and steal the map of the Hidden Cloud Palace!" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Then I have to go back and tell my mother first, and at least leave a letter for her, so that she won't see me when she comes back and worry about me!" ”

"Good! I'll go back with you! ”

……

In the evening, I returned to the mountain, looked for pen and paper, and after thinking about it, I wrote:

Mom, I'm going back with my cousin to steal the map of the Hidden Cloud Palace. If you're not at home, I'll tell you.

Finally, I write at the end: Xiaoxue.

Looking at these two lines, I hesitated for a moment, and added another sentence: Mom, why don't you tell me that I have a genetic disease?

Ever since I knew I had a genetic disorder, it was the one question I wanted to ask my mother the most, and now it's finally being asked.

With a sigh of relief, I folded the white paper in two and pressed the teacup on the table of the Eight Immortals in the middle of the hall.

I picked up the backpack that I had already packed and said to my cousin, "Sister, let's go!" ”

This is the first time in 13 years that I have gone it alone! It's the first time to go so far!

But I also didn't expect that for thirteen years, I would still be in the huge Hengduan Mountains. It's not particularly far from where I lived before I was five years old.

But if it's not far away, it's false, because the Hengduan Mountains are huge.

My cousin and I flew in the same aircraft for hours before we got back to where my family was.

Here, in fact, there is also a name, and people outside call this place Tiangou Peak!

Tiangou is that huge canyon, and our Wu family lives on the halfway of the snow-capped mountain.

The familiar rift, the dark and secluded feeling, is actually a little familiar, and while it is still in the air, you can feel the cold air in the rift!

I had never been down to the Rift Valley because I was too young to go to such a dangerous place.

Halfway up the mountain, I saw the snowy lights again, but they were much dimmer compared to before.

There was still a long way to go from the village, and my cousin and I were left behind.

Even though we're flying low, if we're too close, we'll still be detected by the defenses.

It is a forest with a thick layer of pine needles on the ground, which is soft to step on.

My cousin looked at the tall building in the distance that was shining brightly, and whispered, "Xiaoxue, where is the map of the Hidden Cloud Palace hidden, I have already inquired clearly." Well! I learned from my father that he was drunk and I used words to get him out. The reliability is still relatively high, but ...... I can't go to that place because it's guarded and I can't get in! That's why I want you to come over. ”

"I'm coming? What can I do? "I'm a little puzzled, if the other party is wearing a mecha, even if I have learned my mother's swordsmanship and Yu Tong's brother's fighting skills now, I can't beat them......

Belch? Wait a minute! Wrong. How could I forget, I am now a quasi-sacrificial spirit, the spirit snake flame order silver order is in my hands, I am fully capable of making their mecha stop!

It turned out that my cousin asked me to come over to kill the other party's mecha!

As long as the golden order does not appear, the silver order can stop all the mechs!

The gold and silver orders cannot be hedged against each other, otherwise both orders will be useless, the gold orders cannot fully control the mechas, and the silver orders cannot let them stop.

"You should be able to control the Qingling Box by now, right?" My cousin looked back at me and asked.

I nodded.

She continued, "The Green Spirit Box can create illusions so that we can confuse the guards and sneak in and steal the map of the Hidden Cloud Palace. As long as the map of the Hidden Cloud Palace is in our hands, even if they find it, we don't have to worry. Your Silver Order can stop their mechs! ”

It turned out that my cousin had already arranged these things.

She took out another map, unfolded it, laid it out in front of us, pointed to a red line on it, and said, "Xiaoxue, this is the escape route I planned, you see what's wrong, except for this road." There are also several backup options. In short, this time, we must succeed. ”

The cousin pointed to the very middle of the map, the place where the white light glowed every night: "This is the Council of Elders, but now that the Council of Elders has been dissolved, this is the archive and the place where meetings are held. It stands to reason that the map of the Hidden Cloud Palace should be placed here, but my father didn't do that, he put the map in another place. A place that no one could have imagined. ”

My cousin said, pointing to a not-so-tall house next to the Elders...... It's true that the above-ground part of the house is not high, but the part hidden underground is quite large.

It's a prison here. A place where traitors or mentally ill people are imprisoned. This place, originally very deserted, basically no people. But since Wu Zhi became the patriarch, there have been more people in this place, and they are either madmen or traitors.

It is said that this was not originally a prison, but a place where people in the clan who made mistakes reflected on their mistakes, and later, for unknown reasons, it became a prison.

I know that there must not be so many traitors in the clan, and there are not so many madmen, this must be a "reasonable" means for Wu Zhi's old thief to eradicate dissidents in line with the rules of the clan!

Looking at the location of the prison on the map, I didn't expect that the map of the Hidden Cloud Palace would actually be placed in such a place.

A dark, dirty, cold-blooded, dehumanizing place!

My cousin pointed to this prison called Sanshengtang and said, "There is only one entrance and exit in this place now, it is easy to enter and difficult to get out. But I also found one of its weaknesses. ”

"What weakness?"

The cousin pointed to the north of the Three Provincial Halls, and said, "This place itself is not a prison, just a place for people to reflect on their mistakes. So it's more than one door!

In the past, the Three Provinces Hall was a natural cave, so it was also called the Three Provinces Cave or the Listening Rain Cliff. There are two entrances and exits in the three provincial caves, one is relatively large, and the other is smaller, the large entrance becomes the main entrance, and the small one naturally becomes the back door.

I checked a lot of information and learned about the secret of the Three Provinces Hall, which is no longer known.

In the process of listening to the rain cliff that was later transformed into the current "Three Provinces Hall", the small back door was blocked, and the gate of the Three Provinces Hall we see now is the main gate of the original Three Provinces Cave.

Through the comparison of the maps, I found the sealed back door of the Three Provinces Hall. Light snow, you see, it's in this place. ”

As she spoke, her cousin drew two red lines on the outside of the Sansheng Cave to indicate that the passage had been sealed.

The cousin put down the red pen, paused, and continued: "This back door is very remote. Xiaoxue, you see, the entrance to the Three Provinces Hall is here, and the duty room inside the Three Provinces Hall is here, both of these places are very far away from the back door, so it is not easy for them to find out if they start in this place. ”
