Chapter Fifty-Three: The Empty Mulberry Sacrifice
Xuan Yuxuan seemed to think for a long time, and said quietly: "Is there only him in your eyes?"
These resentful words made me feel helpless. When he said this, was he blaming me for not caring about whether he was taking medicine or not, but when he pulled my hand just now, wasn't he still alive and well, and he didn't feel any discomfort in his body.
But I can't say that directly to him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little weak, and said, "The fiery red spirit bead, I will compensate you again." ”
"Compensation?" he turned, his broad shoulders in front of me like a mountain. "You're wrong, I don't have extra medicine to save him. ”
I froze, "Well, why did the pharmacist tell me ...... just now?"
"It wasn't me who saved Shangguan Yingsheng, but the female attendant beside you. ”
One sentence stirred up a thousand waves, how could I forget the people around me.
Feng Yin has a fiery red spirit bead in her hand, which I gave her at the beginning, I know, or it was used by chance to save Ying Sheng. But on top of that, what worries me more is why she hasn't come to see me since I've found Shadow Autumn, Yun Sheng has never appeared, and Feng Yin, why would she take care of me by someone else's hand instead of herself?
I asked, "What's going on?"
When the leaves were falling, and the wind rattled the fallen leaves on the ground, he stretched out his hand and straightened my hair, which had been blown by the wind, and said, "What would you think if someone around you betrayed you?"
I brushed his hand away and said, "It's impossible for the two brothers and sisters of Yunsheng Fengyin to betray me, at least, not at the moment. ”
He smiled and added, "They did not betray you." But it's not just the two of them by your side right now. ”
"You mean... Lingon?"
Why did Lingye betray me, and what does it have to do with Lingye?
When I realized what Yu Yu was trying to tell me, my heart sank. This matter will involve Ying Sheng and Yun Shengfeng Yin, who else can there be besides her?
But when did she find out?
I grabbed Xuan Yuxuan's sleeve, tried my best to restrain my emotions, and said, "Take me to see Yunsheng." ”
Behind the hut where Ying Sheng was, there was a small waterfall, and not far to the right of the waterhole under the waterfall was the Hundred Medicine Garden, where the medicine master planted a lot of medicinal herbs. Walking inside, I saw several rows of medicine drying shelves, a chic elegant house, I pushed open the door and walked in.
The smell is filled with the scent of various herbs. There is a large medicine tank in the room, and a counter is set up on one side of the medicine tank, apparently to facilitate the placement of different kinds of medicines. On the counter, there are piles of bottles and cans of various colors and sizes.
Walking through the lobby to the next room, after a distance, I heard the sound of the girls in the room whimpering, Yun Sheng's voice was very soft, as if to comfort her. Through the half-hidden door, I saw Feng Yin holding a medicine bowl, smoking and matching, Yun Sheng leaned on the edge of the bed rail with a pale face, gently rubbed Feng Yin's hair, and kept wiping her tears.
I pushed the door, and the sound of the door "creaking" alarmed Yun Sheng, he looked at me with his eyes open, and his dry lips moved: "House master." ”
Feng Yin also turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw that it was me, the hand holding the medicine bowl trembled, but it didn't spill out after all. She put the bowl aside and knelt down in front of me with tears in her eyes.
I knew what she was begging me for, all she wanted was that I could save her brother.
Yun Sheng struggled out of bed, Feng Yin helped him, and he also knelt down, lowered his head and said, "Family master, why are you here?"
I sat down on a chair next to me and said, "You didn't close the door yourself, do you have to knock when I want to come in?"
Yun Sheng's head lowered and replied, "Yun Sheng doesn't dare." It was Yun Sheng who had no face to see the head of the family again, just because of a murder committed by Yun Sheng in the past, but the head of the family was seriously injured, and Yun Sheng was deeply responsible for his death. ”
I sighed lightly and said, "Jing Hong was killed by the killer who arrived at the hour, you just happened to be that person, you didn't want to enter the Twelve Guardians at the beginning, but because of the wind groaning, and the wind groaning, it was because of me...... According to your logic, in the final analysis, isn't this matter to blame me?"
Wind groaned tears flowed down, Yun Sheng took her hand and said, "Yun Sheng has no such intention. ”
I glanced at the wind and groaned.
I think she understands me after all. In order to take revenge, Shadow Autumn attacked Yunsheng, and Shadow Sheng learned that I had gone to Yunyan for ten miles and went to rescue me, but was seriously injured and dying. Two injuries, she only has one pill, even if she chose to save her brother at that time, I won't blame her for a word, but she chose to treat the more seriously injured Ying Sheng. It can be seen that Yunsheng is very sad these days, she treats her brother so ruthlessly, but because she is too kind.
When Xuan Yuhui told me this, I thought that was the reason. She didn't want Ying Katsu to die like this, and she didn't want to see a deeper grudge between me and Ying Qiu. She cried because she felt sorry for her brother Yun.
Thinking of this, I can't help but recall that in the past, someone did something to my food, and for this reason, all the services related to me were sent to the sacrifice ground, and Yun Shengfengyin's mother was one of them.
In Kongsan, most of the people who have made mistakes are sent here. The triennial festival is held there. When the time comes, it will naturally be up to me to pray for the blessing of the whole clan with the secret method of empty mulberry. I have served the second and third uncles' ability to control the entire race, and I have been able to successfully package this matter into supreme glory. But what is the consequence of being sent to the sacrificial ground, the spiritual power is lost, the face is prematurely deceived, and after forty-nine days, it is death.
As for why this sacrifice is a necessary condition for the survival of the clan, I really don't know. It's just that the patriarch always educates me like this, and the sacrifice, once every three years, has never been interrupted.
Actually, my mother is not the last spirit girl, but an ordinary couple in Kongsang. My original identity was not a spirit girl, but a priest. The priest is the heir of the next generation of spirit maidens. The last spirit girl died when she was nineteen years old, and at the age of seven, I ascended to heaven and became the youngest head of the family in Kongsang, and successfully completed my first sacrifice at the age of eight.
The people of the Spirit Race live a long life, and it is not a problem to live for two or three hundred years. The patriarch is more than 400 years old, but he looks like he is in the prime of life. It is rumored that the spirit girl can stay young forever, and indeed, no one has ever seen the spirit girl grow old, because the spirit girls of all generations did not live to be twenty-five years old, and when it came to me, it was already the one hundred and ninety-third generation.
I think the spirit girl will also grow old, but in those last forty-nine days, she didn't want anyone to see it.
