Chapter Twenty-Five: A Play Within a Play, A Man in a Play
The main vein of the Ji family, Luoxue Pavilion.
This attic rolls beaded jade curtains, carved beams and painted buildings, is when Ji Quexue was born, Ji Hong gave Xu Lian'er a resting place for the mother and daughter.
"Quexue, do you know about the return of the eldest prince?"
Xu Lian'er looked worriedly at the girl who was fiddling with a true recipe on the couch, her expression was a little solemn.
Ji Quexue lowered her head and looked at the spell, and between the light dances of her hands, a ray of mysterious light flowed and appeared, condensing into a small and delicate fire lotus at her fingertips.
After a few breaths, she dispersed the fireworks in her hand, raised her head and said, "Don't worry about it, Grand Duke...... Ji Yuenian has lost his cultivation and extinguished the fire in his heart, and he can't get the position given by Hexuan Shangzhen. ”
Since the previous time after experiencing some twists and turns, Ji Quexue seems to have changed as a person, her eyes are extremely firm, and the cowardice and weakness in it have long disappeared without a trace.
Xu Lian'er sighed and said, "But after all, he is the eldest prince, although it is difficult to ignite after the heart fire is extinguished, but in case ......"
"No case," Ji Quexue stood up, her delicate and fair little face became more and more beautiful against the backdrop of the aqua blue skirt, "Tomorrow, Ji Hong will go to Heyun Temple to completely determine the location that belongs to me." ”
"Quexue, how can you call your father like that?" Xu Lian'er shook her head, her face a little displeased.
Ji Quexue was silent for a moment, walked up to Xu Lian'er, looked down at the woman in front of her who was half a head shorter than her, and said word by word: "From that day on, I will no longer recognize a cold-blooded and ruthless person like Ji Hong as my father, and even one day if I succeed in the mystical law, I will make him regret what he has done!" ”
"Magpie snow! How can you think so! ”
Xu Lian'er looked at Ji Quexue in a daze, this daughter had become so strange at this time.
Ji Quexue leaned closer, her hair full of green silk hung on Xu Lian'er's shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "Mother, you were also the eldest lady from the Xu family back then, if it weren't for you being so cowardly, blindly obedient and unassertive, my mother and daughter would never be so sad in the Ji family over the years, compared to the cruel and ruthless Ji Hong, you are the culprit." ”
With that, she turned around and walked out of the attic.
Xu Lian'er stood alone in the empty falling snow attic for a long time, lying on the couch and burying her head deep in her arms.
After a while, there were bursts of whimpering and low sobs faintly heard in the attic.
……
It's night again.
Ji Bugui looked at an ancient book in the study, and couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart.
Like such an obscure seal book, he couldn't even read a page. However, the eldest prince of Ji has densely marked the dozens of ancient books on the bookshelf on the west side, obviously, these different kinds of complicated ancient books, Ji Yuenian has already read them more than once.
"Those who are in the north of Luzhou, although they are good at killing, are only because they make a living, and they are clumsy and emotional, and they don't do much. Note: Therefore, it is not true. ”
Barely recognizable the ancient seal on it, after reading this sentence in a low voice, Ji Bugui couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and said to himself: "It is really ridiculous that the people in this ancient book of Lao Shizi have arranged Beiju Luzhou like this, and even the annotations of the eldest prince are a little confusing. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he put down the ancient book in his hand and turned his gaze to the large table made of sandalwood by the window.
In the upper left corner of the desk, there are many things densely placed, and there are all kinds of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, which are obviously used in Ji Yuenian on weekdays.
Ji Bugui stepped forward, and was just about to look through the books placed on it, when a somewhat muffled voice came from outside the study.
"Prince, the head of the family invites you to go to the Zhenhai Palace."
Zhenhai Hall is the core main building of the main vein of the Ji family, with a main hall and six branch halls, and the ancestral temple of the Ji family is in the Gathering Spirit Hall behind the Zhenhai Hall.
Ji Bugui paused and said, "Okay, I'll go over here." ”
The voice said, "Please leave now." ”
Ji Bugui was a little embarrassed in his eyes, and in his heart, he felt more and more worthless for Ji Yuenian.
Although this person is respectful and polite on the surface, in essence, his tone is aggressive, and it is really chilling that the eldest son of the dignified Ji family has been treated like this after extinguishing the fire in his heart.
"I see."
Ji Bugui thought of Ji Yuenian's confession, put down his extra thoughts, pushed open the study and walked out.
The windows of the attic were not closed, and the cold night breeze swept into the hall, turning the yellowed pages of ancient books.
The obscure ancient books that Ji Bugui had just put down were also gently closed, revealing the broken book cover.
Five twisted seal characters are arranged vertically on it, glowing with golden light.
……
The main vein of the Ji family, Zhenhai Palace.
"Eldest son, go in."
Xu Jianghe, who was dressed in black armor, looked at the "Ji Yuenian" in front of him expressionlessly, and spoke lightly.
Ji Bugui glanced at him, stood under the temple door for a moment, and stepped into the brightly lit hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Ji Hong sitting on the highest throne, and he couldn't help but feel a layer of gloom in his heart.
"Nian'er, how is the recovery?"
Ji Hong got out of his seat and walked slowly towards Ji Bugui.
After all, Ji Bugui is just a mortal body, and Ji Hong is quite majestic as the head of the family, and his body can't help but tremble slightly at that moment, and his heart is aware of a burst of indescribable depression.
"Nian'er?"
The ground in the Zhenhai Hall is divided into three layers, from high to low until the palace gate, Ji Hong stopped in front of Ji Bugui, and stood on the ground on the second floor, under the cover of a large shadow, so that Ji Bugui couldn't see Ji Hong's expression clearly.
Ji Bugui calmed down, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "The head of the family is ...... Father, I am better. ”
Ji Hong frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something, but he didn't care, he reached out and patted Ji Bugui's shoulder, and said, "Nian'er, do you want to take revenge?" ”
"Revenge?" Ji Bugui was a little puzzled.
Ji Hong turned sideways slightly, let the lights in the hall shine on Ji Bugui's bewildered face, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, you were abolished and cultivated and thrown into the Qingluan Mountain Range, you should have been dead and lifeless, but now although you can return intact for some reason, you have extinguished the fire in your heart, and you have lost all your memories, this revenge ...... It is necessary to report it. ”
"What does my father mean by this?"
A stream of cool air diffused into his body from the top of the ghost clothes, making Ji Bugui sober up a lot.
Ji Hong glanced at Ji Bugui and said softly: "The memories of your life are all in the soul, if you want to take revenge, you can only try to take out your memories before you were thrown into the Qingluan Mountains by casting some spells that are quite damaging to you." ”
Ji Bugui noticed the slight tremor of the ghost clothes, his heart calmed down a lot, and he raised his head and said, "According to my father's wishes, what should I do?" ”
Ji Hong was silent for a moment, as if he was extremely unwilling, and sighed slightly.
Ji Bugui sneered a little, but he still maintained respect on his face, and said: "Father, it doesn't hurt to say that Nian'er has already cultivated at this time, if he can take revenge and save some face for my Ji family, Nian'er is willing!" ”
Ji Hong hesitated for a few breaths before he spoke: "For today's plan, only by casting the Soul Exploration Spell and cutting off a part of your divine soul, you may be able to detect those memories." ”
Ji Bugui didn't hesitate for a moment, and responded: "Okay! ”
The Zhenhai Hall is extremely quiet, except for the "father and son", there is no half of a figure.
Ji Hong was a little surprised by Ji Bu's decisiveness, thought for a moment, and said: "There is another matter, I don't know whether to talk about it for my father." ”
Ji Bugui sneered in his heart, but his movements did not stop at all, and he said respectfully: "Father, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Ji Hong paused and said, "The fire in your heart has been extinguished, and there will be no more chance to ignite." However, if you can take down this sixth-grade fire attached to your divine soul when you can cut your divine soul, and use it for your father after refining it, it will also be a way to enhance the strength of my Ji family. ”
Silent.
Ji Bugui didn't know what to do at this time, so he had to be silent.
Ji Hong saw that he seemed to be a little resistant, and hurriedly said: "Nian'er, this matter must be done voluntarily, otherwise this heart fire will not be able to be obtained for the father, the Ji family is now weak in the ancient city of Taichu, you will help the father once, how about it?" ”
Every living being's soul is attached to the heart fire, but nine out of nine living beings can't ignite it. However, the Heart Fire that ignites and then extinguishes the Heart Fire can be devoured by the rest of the living beings to enhance its Heart Fire Sequence Grade!
It's just that most of the living beings after the heart fire is extinguished are directly extinguished and die, so there are not many opportunities to use this extremely harsh method.
Ji Hong's Heart Fire Sequence Rank is only the seventh rank, if he can devour the Sixth Rank Sequence Heart Fire that has been extinguished by "Ji Yue Nian", then he is very likely to use this to improve his Heart Fire Sequence Grade, and even use this momentum to directly break into the Truth Upper Realm!
All the flaws of "Ji Yuenian" were covered up by the ghost clothes, and in Ji Hong's induction, there was indeed a heart fire that had been extinguished in the soul of "Ji Yuenian", which was also the real purpose of his calling "Ji Yuenian" at this time!
It can even be said that when he saw the first time he saw the "Ji Yuenian" who had extinguished the fire in his heart the first time, this vicious thought had already surged in his heart.
Ji Bugui was silent for a long time, and said, "Okay, my father decided when to cast the spell?" ”
Ji Hong's eyes were a little uncontrollable with excitement, and it was only at this time that the master of the cultivation family who had returned to the Beginning of the Truth could take off his thick mask and reveal the truest side of his heart.
"I'll have people prepare now, and I'll cast a spell tonight! Don't worry, Nian'er, after I take out my memories, I will definitely avenge you! ”
After these words fell, Ji Hong knew that something was wrong, so he laughed dryly twice, and said: "Even if you cut off your soul, you may not die, don't worry, I will do my best to save your life for my father!" ”
Obviously, in his eyes, "Ji Yuenian", who had lost all his memories at this time, could already be coaxed at will without disguise, without worrying about any consequences.
Ji Bugui nodded in a similar way, and then retreated directly into the dark place of the main hall, and sneered lowly.
Saving your life?
Casting a spell to cut the soul of the god is ten deaths.
If the heart fire is plucked from the origin of the divine soul, it will definitely be directly extinguished, and the true spirit will be reincarnated and gone, and there will be no possibility of survival.
