Chapter Ninety-Eight: Antecedents 1
She saw her mother crying secretly, and she became more and more silent when she was young, and she became less and less concerned about the outside world, except for her mother, she didn't want to pay attention to anything.
In this way, she has changed from a lively and cute child to what she is now.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since her father had come to see their mother and daughter, even if he had loved them before, but in front of the family, he still gave in.
And her poor mother had no choice but to accept her fate.
You must know that Wu can only identify one man in his life, so this is the path he chooses, and there is no other way.
At this time, the picture changed, and the moon appeared in the middle of a mountain, and the surrounding buildings were different from what she usually saw, which were made of bamboo and wood, and they were all built against the mountains, with long wooden pillars under the roof, and the roof was covered with tree bark.
Most of the houses have only three rooms, and there is an eight-story one in the middle, which can be imagined to be the place where the chief lived.
Each floor of the house has overhanging corridors that connect the entire building, looking sophisticated and quaint.
But what makes Dongfang Yingyue strange is that there is no one here.
So she followed the path and planned to look around, but when she climbed the mountainside, she saw what seemed to be a large crowd of people on the flat ground in the distance.
At this time, she was in a fantasy world, so she didn't need to move, and as soon as her mind turned, she immediately arrived in front of her.
I saw that there were colorful cloths all around, and the women were wearing silver ornaments, and in the center there was an altar with a black jar on it.
At this time, a sacrificial person, dressed in a bright red robe and a mask with green fangs on his face, was beating wildly around the altar, and there were words in his mouth.
And there was a woman sitting quietly on the side, because she was wearing too many jewelry, she couldn't see her appearance, but seeing that she was dressed in a costume, the jewelry was heavy and luxurious, and she should be extraordinary.
I saw a sorcerer come forward and hold a silver bowl with silver powder and cinnabar in the water, and he respectfully handed the silver bowl to the woman in costume.
She took the bowl and stood up, and slowly poured the water from the bowl into the black jar on the altar, and sang in her mouth, and in an instant the water poured into her mouth steamed, shining silver and crimson.
Dongfang Yingyue looked very intent, she knew that this was a witch's sacrifice, and it was usually very rare to see, because she didn't know that she didn't have a chance in the future, so she took advantage of this time to feast her eyes.
She didn't realize that she had a characteristic at all, that is, not only was she curious but also gossiped, and when she gossiped, she sometimes forgot about business.
At this time, she was admiring this rare sacrificial activity without distraction, although the cultivators also attach great importance to all kinds of sacrificial ceremonies, but the difference between the two is huge, if the sacrifice is solemn, then the witch sacrifice is more natural and happy.
After all the ceremonies were completed, everyone gathered around the altar and danced merrily, and the whole atmosphere was very lively, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
At this time, Dongfang Yingyue reflected, it was impossible for the illusion to take her to a place without any contact for no reason, combined with the previous conversation between Qu Ruohan and her mother when she was a child, it can be seen that this should be the place where she was born.
Dongfang Yingyue swept her scrutinizing gaze over every woman present, and finally stopped at the woman in full costume.
At this time, it is difficult for her to connect with Qu Ruohan's mother, but she can see from her facial features that she is the same person, but now her face does not have the same facial lines as when she saw it, and her clothes are not just monotonous black, and the temperament of the whole person is completely different.
At this time, she was not as dull as she had seen before, and there was still a hint of a smile on her face, and she was looking intently at the people dancing happily around the altar, with the innocence of a girl on her face.
At this moment, the scene around Dongfang Yingyue seemed to be messed up by something, and when it became clear again, the scene had been changed to another place.
This is supposed to be a dense forest, with dense foliage overhead, and the sunlight is blocked out by layers of leaves, making it look a little eerie.
And under one of the trees, leaning on a bloody man, who looked weak and looked extremely badly injured.
At this moment, a young girl walked out of the forest, who was also Qu Ruohan's mother later, Dongfang Yingyue had also heard their people call her "Ana", but it didn't seem to be her name, but a title, and the clansmen respected her very much.
Ana walked quickly over to the man and lifted him up slightly, checking on his injuries.
I saw her eyebrows frowning slightly, as if she felt a little tricky.
She fed the man some water, then half-snuggled him up to a tree, scurrying around looking for something.
Dongfang Yingyue knew that she would come back, so she didn't follow, and sure enough, within half an hour, Ana came back with a few spirit grasses in her hands.
After a simple treatment, the spirit grass was fed to the man.
The Wu clan did not practice pills, their use of spiritual grass is very natural, only after a simple treatment can be used to treat external injuries, or it can be taken directly with spiritual spring water, and the effect is said to be very magical.
She had always been curious about their use of spirit grass, and if she had the opportunity, she wanted to learn from it.
It didn't take long for the man to wake up.
Dongfang Yingyue felt that she didn't have to think about it to know what kind of story this was.
That is, Qu Ruohan's mother, who saved her father this time, and the two have been in love for a long time.
Things really went according to her ideas, and the two developed feelings in contact.
However, the Wu clan was isolated from the world and had never been in the habit of intermarrying outsiders, so they were strongly opposed by Ana's father, that is, the great elder of the Wu clan, and locked the man up.
Ana was determined to be with her lover, so she found an opportunity to rescue the man and escaped secretly while she was discovered.
But it didn't take a few days to find out, the two were only married for a few days before they were about to separate, Ana endured the heartache and asked the man to leave quickly at the last moment, but she was taken back to the clan.
Although the Great Elder was angry that Ana didn't listen to him, after all, she was his own daughter, and of course she was still distressed, so he just locked her up.
But as time passed, I didn't expect Ana's belly to get bigger and bigger, but she was pregnant.
Ana's father was so angry that he tattooed her face when she gave birth.
It was a seal placed by the Wu clan on those who were no longer saints, and this mark followed her ever since.
Soon, Ana gave birth to a baby girl, and that baby girl was Qu Ruohan, but she was not called this name at that time.
