Chapter 44: The Long Family Bans Books
When night fell, the rain stopped.
Crooked and Du Zhong exchanged clothes, and wanted to go out of the palace with the Dragon Yin Sword, but were stopped by Chunlan: "Fool, you are dressed as a maid, and you will definitely attract attention with a sword, you must know that in the palace, except for the Praetorian Guard, no one can wear weapons."
Crooked had no choice but to hand over the Long Yin Sword to Chunlan and let her keep it on her behalf, and she walked out of Qingluan Villa lightly.
In the secret place, a pair of eyes followed closely, watching her take the waist card and leave the palace. Where does she want to go? Is she really different?
The man quietly followed, and finally crooked into a mansion, he raised his head slightly, and what caught his eye was the huge two words:
"Dragon House"
The first thing that Crooked returned to Longfu was to go to Xia Zitong, and when Mrs. Xia saw Crooked, she was overjoyed: "My little girl, are you back, isn't Tianlin with you, is it happy to live in the palace?"
Crooked lips: "There is no meaning in the palace at all, it is comparable to Grandma's here." ”
Xia Zitong was so amused by the crookedness that she touched her head, but the moment her hand touched her, she couldn't help but be surprised: the seal, the seal was broken, but it hadn't been completely revealed, so the spiritual power in her body was still in a semi-sleeping state, which was mixed with Long Qi's spiritual power.
Odd!
Xia Zitong calmed down, pretending to be casual and said: "Then you don't want to go to live in the palace anymore, the province is in trouble, I am worried every day, and I keep asking them how you are in the palace, I am worried to death." Xia Zitong clenched his crooked hands, "I heard that the princess is about to marry the prince, although the princess has lived in my house for a few days, but she has not come out of the house for a few days, and I haven't even seen a shadow." You must have seen it crookedly, did the prince see it, did the queen see it, did the king of Annan see it, the princess and the prince are not as good as the match. ”
He smiled crookedly, "I don't know which one to answer to so many of your questions." ”
"Haha, it's Grandma who is so happy, and she talks too much. Xia Zitong gently patted the back of his crooked hand.
"What about Yinuo, how is he?"
"He has been practicing diligently all day long, and he has grown a lot, Tianlin is not here, your grandfather will teach him personally, you must know that Qi'er and they are all taught by your grandfather. ”
Crooked eyes shining: "Isn't that promise going to surpass me." ”
"So you have to work harder. Xia Zitong paused and said, "Do you want to call Yinuo to you, you two brothers and sisters will talk." ”
Crooked shook his head: "I'll look for him later, now I have something to ask Grandma." ”
"What?"
Biting her lip crookedly, she didn't know where to start, she hesitated for a long time, and her heart was crossed, this huge Long family, except for Grandma, she had no one to ask for help. On her own, she didn't even know where the Long family's banned books were.
She spoke: "Grandma, I want to ask about the Long family's ban on books. ”
"The Long family banned books?" Xia Zitong held his crooked hand and froze, "How did you know this, who told you?"
"It doesn't matter who told me what I was told, what matters is that I'm going to use it to save people. ”
"Who?"
"Long Qi. ”
Xia Zitong's eyes widened suddenly, he looked around, lowered his voice and said, "You saw Qi'er, where are you? What's wrong with her?"
Crookedly told Xia Zitong about a series of things such as encountering demons and then Long Qi's soul appearing. Xia Zitong's face became more and more gloomy, she had thought that Crooked was her granddaughter, but she never thought that her baby daughter was dead. Her heart was poked in an instant, and blood gushed out, and it hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.
She held crooked in her arms, and tears flowed down the wrinkles of the years, falling on the girl's shoulders and soaking the girl's clothes.
The moment the tears hit the crooked body, the crooked body trembled uncontrollably, and when the tears gathered more and more, the trembling became more and more intense. Suddenly, a translucent white shadow came out of the crooked body, looking deeply at the old man with teary eyes.
"Mother!" a soft cry struck Xia Zitong's heart through the endless years.
"Qi'er!" Xia Zitong stretched out his hand towards Long Qi, but he couldn't touch her, "How could this be! How could this be!" Xia Zitong's sorrow was in his chest, all the waiting and expectation came to naught in an instant, and a huge loneliness surged towards her. She gritted her teeth, trying to keep herself from crying. She wasn't sure if the hatred between Qi'er, Long Zhan, and Long Yuanwu would be eliminated. Now she can't alarm anyone.
I finally saw my mother again, and my crooked eyes were moist.
Two lines of clear tears also slipped down Long Qi's face: "Mother, don't be sad, don't be angry with me." ”
Xia Zitong was annoyed: "What a bad girl, among all the children, you are the most proud of me." ”
Long Qi lowered his eyes: "What I did disgraced the Long family, so I never blamed my father and brothers for what they did to me. Moreover, it is true that I killed the sixth brother, and I am willing to bear all the blame. But mother," Long Qi's eyes raised and he looked at Xia Zitong, "I only hope that you can take care of my daughter for me and keep her safe." ”
"The first time I saw her, I knew we had a different fate. Xia Zitong smiled with tears, "Look, I guessed it." Your daughter is just like you, stubborn. She's really a good daughter, and she wants to save you. ”
Long Qi looked at the crooked dotingly: "I know, I always know." ”
Xia Zitong sighed: "She came to me to ask for the Long family's banned books." ”
"What?" Long Qi was surprised.
"Qi'er, do you know why the Long family's banned books have become banned books. ”
Long Qi shook his head: "Qi'er doesn't know. ”
"Five hundred years ago, the ancestor of our Long family produced an unborn talent, who recorded what he learned and wrote a collection of martial arts and spells into the "Book of the Long Family". But he was arrogant and arrogant, and there was no one in his eyes, and the elders of the clan united and detained him, and then he went crazy and went on a killing spree, and since then he has betrayed the Long family and fallen into the devil's path. Since then, his books have become banned by the Long family, and the descendants of the Long family are not allowed to practice. Xia Zitong said leisurely, "The martial arts in the book are extremely strong and domineering, and most of the spells are treacherous, in addition to the spells of exorcism, there are also spells that poison and harm people, and ......" Xia Zitong paused, "There is indeed a spell that brings people back to life - the spell of returning yang." ”
When I heard this, I thought happily that the witch really didn't lie to her.
"However, this kind of curse that changes one's life against heaven will be punished by heaven. Xia Zitong's eyes were like torches, and he glanced at Crooked and Long Qi.
"What is the damnation?" asked crookedly.
"Either early death, or a bad fate, or a betrayal of relatives, or falling into the path of the devil and never being able to turn over, these are all punishments from heaven. ”
"The people rebelled and left. Long Qi smiled bitterly, "This should be my damnation." "Whoever becomes an exorcist, which one can get a good death, Long Qi thought in his heart, he has more dealings with the dead and resentful spirits than the living on weekdays, and in the long run, he has gathered a lot of yin energy and resentment, how can he have a good death.
"Qi'er!" Xia Zitong was full of distress.
After a long silence, the crooked voice sounded firmly: "God's damnation, God's curse, I'm not afraid, as long as my mother comes back to life, I'm not afraid of anything." ”
"You've figured it out. "Long Qi, Crooked, like the ancestor who fell into the demon before, are all born anti-bones.
Perhaps, everything is predestined by God. He held his head crooked, his eyes sparkling.
"However, the spells in the book have long been lost, and even if you get the book, you may not know how to use it. Xia Zitong said in a deep voice.
crookedly: "Some people say she will, she ......"
While he was talking, Long Zhan's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Madam, who are you talking to?"
Long Qi's body flickered, and he disappeared in the crooked body again.
Xia Zitong hurriedly wiped away his tears and said loudly: "Crooked back." ”
How could she come back, Long Zhan Nahan, pushed the door and walked into the room. Crooked was grinning at him, he was full of suspicion, although he said to his wife that Crooked was going to play in the palace, but the real purpose he knew, right now Long Tianlin didn't come back, but she came back?
"Where's Tianlin?"
"He has a lot to do, and he doesn't have time to come back. He said crookedly.
Long Zhan felt more and more that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it clearly at the moment, so he had to endure it. He was worried about whether something had gone wrong, this was related to the fate of their entire Long family, no, it was better to send someone to find Tianlin to live in peace.
"Yinuo is still practicing in the martial arts field, I went to call him, he must be happy when you come back, he asks me every day when you will come back. Long Zhan said and turned out the door.
Crooked listened to his heart sank, Yinuo actually worked so hard, thinking about himself in the past few days, he hadn't practiced much, wouldn't he be overtaken by him, this is not good.
"Grandma, I'll go back as soon as I go. Before the words fell, the people had already run out of the door.
Under the lamp, Xia Zitong wiped her tears again. Crooked firmness kept emerging in front of her eyes: "God's damnation, God's curse, I'm not afraid, as long as my mother comes back to life, I'm not afraid of anything." ”
I'm not afraid of crookedness, so why should I be afraid of an old woman who is about to die!
She picked up a lamp and walked around to the back of the bed, pressing her hand against the wall. At this moment, the wall suddenly moved, and slowly moved away, revealing a downward staircase.
The cold wind blows in your face, and the candle flame flickers.
Xia Zitong paused, once he went down, he couldn't turn back. After settling his mind and taking a deep breath, Xia Zitong took a step.
In the underground secret room, the forbidden technique lay on the stone platform in the center of the secret room, glowing with blue-black light. Xia Zitong slowly moved over, his steps were so heavy.
Two opposing voices tugged at her head, causing her headache to split.
She endured the pain and put her hand on the book, and the biting coldness came, and the three bronzing words of "Long's Family Book" on the book cover flashed.
"Ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors, all the punishments are borne by the old body, and it has nothing to do with my seven sons and crookedness. ”
Xia Zitong picked up the book and climbed the stone steps.
The door of the secret room closed leisurely, Xia Zitong leaned against the wall, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, and the "Book of the Long Family" in his arms exuded cold air like an ice cube. She found a black cloth bag, placed the book in it, and pressed it under the bed. After doing all this, she slumped in her chair, her heart beating faster and faster, almost out of her chest.
