Chapter 282: Cleansing (4K, Seeking Powder)
Sheng Siyan hurriedly asked Zhou Huaixuan to put the little wolfberry down, and said to Wang: "Mother, I just asked you to come and see Ah Cai." Somehow, it's getting lazier and weaker these days, and I don't think it's right. β
Wang said: "I don't know much either, but I think it's similar to people, wait and see." β
Sheng Siyan was very convinced of the Wang family, and nodded busily, first taking the Wang family to Lanshui Courtyard to see her mother-in-law Feng.
Zhou Huaixuan nodded to the Wang family, said that there was something outside, and went out.
Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
With Zhou Huaixuan by her side, she can't talk to Siyan about herself, so it's better to walk away......
The mother and daughter came to Lanshui Courtyard.
Feng knew that Wang and Sheng Siyan hadn't seen each other for more than a month, and they must have a lot to say, so they only gossiped, then served tea to the guests, and said apologetically: "I'm not feeling well, so I can't accompany you more." Let Siyan accompany you. β
Wang Shi hurriedly smiled: "Grandma Feng is really too polite, then we won't delay." β
Feng smiled as they left, looking at the ledger in the inner room.
β¦β¦
Back in Qingyuan Hall, Sheng Siyan took the Wang family to the small suite where Ah Cai lived.
As soon as she entered, she saw that the little wolfberry was already squatting in front of Ah Cai's nest, chattering and talking.
Ah Cai was still lying in the nest, but he looked at the little wolfberry with a pair of black bean-like eyes, as if he still remembered him.
Little Goji turned around and said dissatisfiedly to Sheng Siyan: "Eldest sister, what's wrong with Ah Cai?" Did the eldest brother-in-law scare Ah Cai? β
Sheng Siyan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No." Your eldest brother-in-law is very good to Ah Cai. However, Ah Cai seems to be unwell lately, so I asked my mother to help me take a look. β
Wang walked over. Hold Ah Cai in his hands. Walk over to the couch and sit down. Inspect it carefully.
After a cup of tea, Wang gently put Ah Cai back into its nest, sighed and shook his head at Sheng Siyan.
Sheng Siyan's heart tightened, and he left the small suite with the Wang family and stood under the corridor outside to talk.
Wang looked at the bright spring light in the courtyard, squinted his eyes, and said softly: "Ah Cai has also followed you for more than ten years." Ordinary hedgehogs can't live for so long. β
"But...... But...... Before I got married. It's so good! Sheng Siyan said a little anxiously.
At that time, Ah Cai was energetic, and he kept blocking Zhou Huaixuan......
Wang looked at her with pity and stroked her fair and pink cheeks, "...... Ah Cai treats you as a relative. Seeing that you are married and have a good home, it will naturally rest assured. You know, as soon as it is relieved, the spirit that supports it is gone. β
Sheng Siyan was stunned when he heard this, and after a long time, he covered his face in his hands. Wipe away the tears from your face.
β¦β¦
After Wang took the little wolfberry and the little hollyhock away, Sheng Siyan sat alone in the small suite. With one hand, he brooded on his cheeks, and looked at Ah Cai's nest in the corner.
Wang's words, Sheng Siyan was skeptical.
She still thinks that something else should happen to Ah Cai, so she has become what she is now.
What's going on?
Sheng Siyan thought carefully about the things since she got married from beginning to end, and figured out that Ah Cai began to have abnormalities, which should have started when Ah Cai suddenly hid in the water the night before she got married.
Ah Cai didn't like water before, and he could even hide when he took a bath, but that day, he was unhappy without water, and he couldn't wait for his whole little body to be soaked in water.
It should be that from that time on, Ah Cai has gradually become different from before, right?
Is it hiding from something? What's the matter? Or...... Who is it?
Sheng Siyan pondered slowly and sorted out a clue.
Although there are still some things she doesn't understand, she has figured out the general situation.
Ah Cai really became irritable and weak, it should be after Zhou Huaixuan killed the fallen princess Bai Wan.
And after that, Zhou Huaixuan took the box containing the wilted and yellowed purple glazed buds that Ah Cai liked to the outer courtyard, and did not put it in Qingyuan Hall anymore.
Ah Cai is even busier because of this.
During the day, he accompanied her in Qingyuan Hall, and at night, he ran to Zhou Huaixuan's study in the outer courtyard, guarding the box and the purple glazed buds.
Is it because you can't sleep day and night, and you're too tired?
Or is there something else?
Sheng Siyan frowned, slowly put down the arm supporting his chin, got up and said, "Barley, call Xianbai to come over, and ask me where is the box with purple glass buds?" β
Barley was busy going to the second door to spread the word.
Zhou Xianbai heard this in the outer courtyard, and didn't know how to respond, so he hurriedly sent someone to report to Zhou Huaixuan who was outside, while deliberately delaying time, saying that the box didn't know where the eldest prince was placed, and he wanted to look for it carefully.
As a result, he waited until it was dark, and the eldest prince did not come back.
Sheng Siyan sent Hibiscus to come over and urge her several times, and said that if she didn't get the box back, she would come and get it herself.
Zhou Xianbai had no choice but to take out the red gold jar containing the purple glazed buds that had been stepped on from Zhou Huaixuan's study and send it to Sheng Siyan in Qingyuan Hall.
He knew that although this young grandmother seemed to be soft and easy to talk, once she became stubborn, even the eldest prince couldn't stop her. Of course, the eldest prince is definitely reluctant to stop ......
"Grandma, it's here." Zhou Xianbai handed the red gold jar to Sheng Siyan.
Sheng Siyan was a little strange, "I remember it was a wooden box, how did it become a red gold jar?" β
Zhou Xianbai scratched his head and grinned: "I don't know this little one, but the eldest young grandmother will find out when I ask the eldest son." As he spoke, he bowed backwards and went out.
Sheng Siyan had already eaten dinner, washed up, and was waiting for Zhou Huaixuan to come back.
She started asking Zhou Xianbai to take her box back at noon, but Zhou Xianbai didn't bring it in until this time in the evening, what was the reason?
Sheng Siyan sat crookedly on the kang in the warm pavilion, put the red gold jar on the kang table on the kang, and frowned to look at it carefully.
Ah Cai woke up suddenly in the small suite opposite, hurriedly got up from the nest, climbed to the warm pavilion where Sheng Siyan was, squatted at her feet, and touched her ankle with his small nose.
Sheng Siyan bowed his head. I saw Ah Cai actually come over. Confusion even increases.
She picked Ah Choi up. I looked at it and smiled, "I want to see your box, right?" It's a pity that the box is gone, only the jar. As he spoke, he pointed to the red gold jar.
Ah Cai jumped from Sheng Siyan's hand, jumped onto the lid of the red gold jar, and squatted on it without getting up.
Sheng Siyan smiled and stretched out two fingers. took Ah Cai away, opened the red gold jar with the other hand and looked at it, it turned out that the purple glazed bud had become a flat "bookmark......
Is it for this reason that Zhou Huaixuan took this thing away and didn't let himself see it?
Sheng Siyan still couldn't figure it out, looked at Ah Cai thoughtfully, and said in a low voice: "Ah Cai, this purple glass has become like this, you are very unhappy?" β
Ah Cai crouched silently beside the red gold jar. Motionless.
Sheng Siyan sat in the warm pavilion and watched for a long time, but he couldn't see anything unusual. I had to close the lid and said, "Let's wait for Huaixuan to come back." β
Mu Hibiscus came in and said with a smile: "Grandma, it's not too early, do you want to rest?" The eldest prince doesn't know when he'll be back. You're just a little bit ......."
Sheng Siyan nodded, "Then let's rest first." So saying, he took the red gold jar and brought it to the inner chamber.
When Ah Cai saw it, he also hurriedly climbed to Sheng Siyan's inner room.
Sheng Siyan put the red gold jar on the small table next to the Babu bed, got into bed by himself, and read a book on the bed.
It didn't take long for her to feel very sleepy, her eyelids were too heavy to lift, she reached out to cover her mouth and yawned, and looked down to see Ah Cai squatting on the footrest beside her bed, curled up in a ball to guard her, just like when she was not married before, she felt infinitely warm in her heart, looked at it with a smile, put down the book and fell asleep.
It was midnight again, and Sheng Siyan had just fallen asleep.
Ah Cai's head rose suddenly, climbed along the leg of the bed to the edge of Sheng Siyan's step, and then crawled along the edge of the bed to the small table next to the bed, looking at the red gold jar like a great enemy.
Sure enough, from the red gold jar, a faint white and light purple light began to emit again, this time, I don't know if I returned to Qingyuan Hall, the light was actually more brilliant than yesterday.
Ah Cai's black bean-like eyes widened all of a sudden, and he bared his teeth at the red gold jar.
The pale and purple light slowly spread, gradually enveloping Sheng Siyan on the bed.
Ah Cai's body arched suddenly, and the thorns all over his body were distinct, and it took two steps back, then lunged forward, slamming into the red gold jar, pushing it from the small table next to the bed and pushing it to the ground.
The red gold jar made a crunch sound, and it was particularly loud in the quiet night sky.
With that huge inertia, Ah Cai also fell from the small table to the ground, and his little head hit the ground heavily, and he fainted suddenly.
The maid who was on night duty outside heard this voice, and was busy outside and asked, "Grandma, young man?" What's wrong? β
At this moment, Zhou Huaixuan finally strode in, stopped the maid on duty at night, walked into the inner room by himself, and slammed the door tightly.
When he came back late, he didn't plan to go back to the inner courtyard, but as soon as he went back, he heard Zhou Xianbai say in the outer courtyard, Sheng Siyan ordered him to take the red gold jar containing purple glazed buds to Qingyuan Hall in the inner courtyard, so he had to rush in immediately.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw that the white and light purple light emanating from the red gold jar on the ground was even more intense than yesterday!
The corners of Zhou Huaixuan's lips tightened, rushed to the side of the bed first, and pressed Sheng Siyan's shoulder, who was humming and about to wake up, making her completely faint.
Then Zhou Huaixuan took two steps back and picked up the red gold jar on the ground.
This time, as soon as he got his hands on the red gold jar, he knew that it was not good, because he was immediately carried into a realm of reality and illusion by the light.
β¦β¦
He returned to the holiest place of the fallen peopleβthe temple.
The same high priest in a white robe, in the large vat in front of the high priest there are five purple glazed water lilies floating on the water, budding to be released, Ah Cai squatted on the stone table, looking at the high priest.
But the high priest was much more energetic than the last time he saw it.
Several gray-robed men stood at the head of the high priest, and a woman in a white robe bowed to him and said, "High priest, what are your orders when you come to us?" β
Zhou Huaixuan was stunned. The woman in the white robe was none other than Bai Wan, the former princess of the fallen people. But it is much younger and immature than Bai Wan's appearance. - This is when Bai Wan was young?
The high priest looked at the people standing below, and the expression on his face was sad and miserable.
He raised his head, his eyes stared at the empty starry sky in the distance, and suddenly said, "...... I actually fell asleep. Not only did I fall asleep, I also had a dream! β
A gray-robed man in the middle looked up.
This man is the Great Elder of the Fallen People.
The High Elder of the fallen people looked at the High Priest and asked in a low voice, "High Priestess, you have never slept before, what is the reason this time?" β
The High Priest looked at the Great Elder, the expression on his face was sad and happy, and he said in a low voice, "...... I just had a dream, no, maybe not a dream, but an oracle. I will close the temple and pray to heaven. β
Several Great Elders and Bai Wan glanced at each other, bowed in response, and exited the temple.
Zhou Huaixuan watched the high priest pray to the heavens in the temple for seven days and seven nights.
Then the high priest opened the door of the temple, called all the fallen people, and said to them, "My children, I will sacrifice blood for everyone to have a second chance to live." Remember, continue to persevere in the search for the Destiny. This is where some of the Mandate of Heaven people I have calculated will appear, you take them, and when the blood sacrifice is over, you will set out to find the Mandate of Heaven. β
The fallen people were so convinced of their high priest that they bowed down.
The Great Elder took the manuscript of the calculus from the high priest's hand, gave him a great gift to the fallen people, and bowed down.
The high priest closed the door of the temple again in front of the crowd.
Zhou Huaixuan stood in the corner of the temple like a shadow, silently watching this scene.
This time, he was convinced that he was seeing what the fallen people had told him about.
It was more than thirty years ago, and the high priest returned from a wandering trip and brought back Bai Wan.
It was also in that year that the high priest, who had never slept before, suddenly fell asleep, and when he awoke, he prayed in the temple for seven days and seven nights, and finally decided on a blood sacrifice.
Zhou Huaixuan breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, he was convinced that he was in this world.
It's just that what he saw was more than thirty years ago.
At that time, he was not yet born.
But Ah Choi was already by the high priest's side at that time.
Zhou Huaixuan's gaze fell on Ah Cai.
Ah Cai sat on the stone table, motionless and looking at the high priest, his eyes focused and solemn, as if waiting for the final verdict and result.
The high priest walked over and stood in front of the vat, looking at the purple glass that was budding inside.
"Ah Cai, this time, I have to work a lot. This purple glaze may have changed. But you can't do without it. The high priest sighed and reached out to stroke the purple glazed buds in the vat, "It was originally a sacred relic for the fallen people, but it will eventually be covered with dust." What will it take to cleanse you? β
The little hedgehog on the stone table awkwardly jumped down from the stone table and stood at the feet of the high priest.
The high priest glanced at it, "Ah Cai, if I die, I will entrust it to you." β
