"It's all sacrifices. Including me, and your mother-in-law. ”

The girl in white widened her eyes, her eyes turned red unconsciously, and her voice was difficult: "So the so-called serious illness and death back then was actually my father-"

"Jin Lian needs sacrifices, but there are few people in Wuzheng Villa, and since your ancestors, there are few owners with three children. For this reason, your ancestors came up with a way to teach outsiders to cultivate the Yang Scroll. In order to satisfy the golden lotus, these children had to drink the ice water dissolved by the golden lotus when they entered the village, and some of them died like this, and those who survived were cultivated as sacrifices. But in the end, this is an act against the harmony of heaven, so the village never makes a noise, and when a head of the house takes office, he accepts ten children, one sacrifices, and if the rest survive, let them go. But by the time of your grandfather, there was a turmoil in the village, and there were no sacrifices to offer. ”

"It was also at that time that I was sent back to the village by my mother. My mother is one of the few people in Wuzheng Villa who survived without being a sacrifice, she went to the land, and became a relative to the scattered people on the land, with me. Your grandfather wrote to her that she had taken in apprentices, and she sent me as a reward for her upbringing, but she never thought that this would send me to death. At that time, there was still turmoil in the village, although the sacrifice time was missed, Jin Lian did not move, your grandfather saw that I was talented, so he simply sealed the ice tower and never mentioned it again. Then I came back from the land, the Golden Lotus rioted, and your father locked me up in the tower......" Granny Gu smiled sadly and sighed lightly: "But who knew that I didn't die, and I became one with this ice tower, and in this tower, I seem to be able to live forever...... I've rummaged through the books in the tower, and I know more and more clearly than your father, but I can't leave here for half a step, and this golden lotus still needs a sacrifice of flesh and blood. ”

"You have been married to the Dongying Genji for more than 500 years, just because your wife and grandfather accidentally discovered that the Genji bloodline seemed to echo the spiritual power of the Golden Lotus, and he did an experiment and found that the Golden Lotus really accepted the flesh and blood of the Genji. This marriage is more terrible than for power, and Genji also chose to agree in order to rely on the fairy gate. In the initial marriage, the Wuzheng Villa lowered his stature to help the Genji do some unsavory things to consolidate his position, and the Genji also worshipped the Wuzheng Villa as a god, and as time went by, the Genji family declined, and even the bloodline seemed to be not enough to satisfy the Golden Lotus, and your mother's death confirmed this, so your father left a will before he died, and since he did not need to marry again, but recruited disciples and re-walked the original path. ”

"Now, why did Wufeng have to be personally taught by your father and pass on his sentient beings to fan their hearts, do you understand?" Granny Gu looked at the three hundred with a face like ashes, and sighed softly: "Innocent, if it is not Wufeng who dies, or your brother who dies, you can't bear to see Wufeng sacrifice, so you can't bear to let your own brother die?"

There seemed to be a muffled thunder in her ears, and the girl in white was in a trance, staggered, and fell to the ground. She looked at the Gu mother-in-law in front of her in a daze, and then looked at the golden lotus on the top of the tower, at that moment, it seemed that her mother was smiling at her in the ice; she remembered the cold-faced brother who was weak when she was a child, ran before and after running for her, remembered the first time she saw Wufeng who was eight years older than herself at the age of fourteen, remembered the morning and twilight in the past five years, and remembered that she cried and fainted outside the tower when her father died......

Death didn't touch her, but she seemed to be standing on Huangquan Road.

"What...... When?" The girl almost squeezed out these words from between her teeth, she stood up slowly on the cold ground, trembling slightly: "The sacrifice is...... When?"

"Seven days later. The owner will return from Dongying within seven days, and when the time comes, the sacrifice will begin. ”

Three hundred nodded, looked at the red rope on his wrist, and closed his eyes: "Mother-in-law-" The voice trembled, and she couldn't say any more words, and the girl who had just calmed down burst into tears like rain for a moment, and she knelt on the ground with a thud, clasped her hands and covered her eyes, and cried.

I can not go out of the tower for seven days, can you let me see him on the last day......

I don't want him to die without knowing my mind, and a bowl of Meng Po soup will forget me......

At this moment, the light of the Ice Condensing Tower dimmed, and Granny Gu looked at the three hundred who were crying into tears, and sighed.

Dongying. Genji's house.

A faint hint of sandalwood lingered around the tip of his nose, and Wuyong looked at Genji Hiiragi, who was lying on the hospital bed with a sallow face, and his expression was calm: "My father left a will before he died, and since he has passed, there is no need to marry Genji." I didn't marry Sakura, I just followed my father's orders, and it didn't have anything to do with what happened to her. ”

The person on the bed coughed twice, and his voice was hoarse: "So, the old man knows...... It's just that my daughter is arrogant, and if this matter spreads, it will definitely ruin her reputation, so if the immortal chief doesn't have a favorite person, can he ......?"

"Wuyong already has a place in his heart, and it is difficult to solve his worries. The man's answer was extremely crisp, which was also expected by Gen Hiiragi. Indeed, although he had only seen the woman in red, he could also see that she was a young man with amazing talents, and with his profound cultivation, Sakura had no advantage. The Fujita family has learned of the death of Takeshi Fujita, and is now rushing here, I heard that the emperor is also quite concerned about this matter, and sent a confidant samurai to come, and Gen Hiiragi grounded Sakura because he was afraid that she would do something again, after all, he was getting sicker and sicker, and he really didn't have the energy to give it to her anymore.

When the old man was sighing in his heart, he heard Wuyong ask: "Mr. Hiiragi, there is one thing that Wuyong has not been able to know, the emperor has not given a knighthood to his foreign surname for a long time, why can Sakura become the emperor's personal Sakurahime?"

"The matter...... It is related to the old man's illness. Gen Hiiragi was silent for a moment before continuing: "Last year I was falsely accused of embezzling 30,000 taels of gold, and the emperor was furious and put me on death row; Sakura verified the matter and told the emperor that someone had made a false accusation and that I would not die for my crimes, so the emperor forgave me and demoted him to one level, but beheaded the man. For some reason, the changes in my family reached the ears of the Emperor, who admired Sakura and named her Sakurahime. ”

"But I see that Genji is very disrespectful to Sakura. Just because of her mother's relationship?"

At the mention of Miwako Fujita, Gen Hiiragi's pupils shrank, and he coughed more violently, and it took a long time to ease up: "When the small country rebelled, I fought with Fujita-kun, and Miwako gave my strategy to Fujita, and Fujita took military merits and was appreciated by the emperor, which is what we have today." At that time, I didn't know, or if their brother and sister joined forces to blame me, I realized that my beloved wife actually didn't love me at all...... After that, I grounded her, and half a month later, she killed herself. I'm cold to Sakura because her eyes look too much like Miwako, and when she stands in front of me, I feel like I've gone back in time...... I love this daughter very much, but I also hate her mother very much. Sakura Ruo is an ordinary daughter, when she gets married, I will definitely let her be beautiful, but she is too smart and often wants to participate in the affairs of the court, I really can't help but be careful......"

The old man on the bed sighed, and the man in white nodded slightly and stood up: "Mr. Hiiragi is resting, so I have to leave first." ”

"Immortal Chang walks slowly. Seeing the white clothes disappear behind the door, Gen Hiiragi coughed again, this time it seemed to be particularly serious, he slapped the bed hard while coughing, and a few stars of blood splashed on the beige placket, which was particularly eye-catching.

Jun Luo followed the spider silk to the forest behind the house, and sure enough, he saw Qing Chi dressed in water red. The place chosen by Qing Chi was naturally hidden, and seeing that she was still standing intact, she quickly breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you are not dead yet." ”

You know?" Jun Luo asked with a slight frown.

"Nature knows. Qing Chi rolled his eyes: "This mind eater is the old thing that was placed in the ancient bell, in order to kill Wuyong." Although his soul was suppressed by me, it was not broken for a long time, and I never found this information until he snatched his body to commit suicide before he collapsed, and I took it back before the spell was finished, and his soul was broken, and I didn't know about it. That snake demon was actually consumed by them after being trapped by the Dharma, and that Sakura is probably also with them, otherwise why did you trigger the mind eater when you went in?

Suddenly, Qing Chi remembered the silent 'you know' just now, and looked at Jun Luo silently, Jun Luo raised his eyebrows, pointed at himself, and spread his hands.

"......" Qingchi was speechless for a moment, and hugged his fists in admiration: "Obey or obey you." ”

Jun Luo smiled, and also hugged his fists: polite and polite.

"I said, master, all the kindness you have in your life was used by you yesterday, right? The Mind Eater devours words one day, smells on the other, hears on the third day, sees on the fourth day, and devours the heart on the fifth day, and dies by exploding the body. Which Bodhisattva did you go up to block that for him!" Qing Chi fell into a collapse: "If you die, you will die, the problem is that if you die, we will all die with you, isn't the life of a monster!"

The woman in red smiled: I won't die.

She said so confidently that Qing Chi sneered and was about to mock, but she was suddenly stunned, as if she had thought of something.

Building wood.

That's right, with Jianmu, Junluo won't die, but he will enter the state of inner demons and merge with Jianmu...... Qing Chi frowned slightly, and saw the woman take out a note from her sleeve and hand it to her, blinking her eyes.

"......" Qingchi took the note, and when he saw Jun Luo turn around, he couldn't help but stop, and hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't die." I haven't lived enough. ”

Jun Luo smiled and made a lip shape: Don't worry, I can't die yet.

After all, Huangquan does not accept people who are obsessed.

Qingchi disappeared into the forest, and the woman in red put her hand on her chest and was silent for a long time before walking towards the house. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in the forest, although the speed was extremely fast, it still fell in her eyes, the black was too iconic, almost in an instant Junluo thought of life and death, she immediately flew up to follow. But the speed of the black shadow was too fast, Jun Luo only saw him disappear when he rolled into the house, and when she jumped into the house, she only saw a man in white leaning over and picking up a string of silver bells on the ground, which was the one she had just thrown down when she left with the spider silk.

Wuyong raised his head and looked at the man on the wall, looking at each other, speechless for a while.
