Chapter 711: A Woman a Hundred Years Later
The contemporary Gu mother Miao Ling is nearly three hundred years old, and she is no longer bright and bright-eyed, but now she is full of pale hair and deep wrinkles, just like an old woman.
Another Gu master, Miao Ye'er, who was in his early 100s, was not in the clan all day long, and occasionally came back, only to have a few secret conversations with the Gu mother, and then disappeared.
According to the time, today should be the day when she comes back once a year, Gu Mu is dressed neatly in the morning, standing outside the tallest tulou in the village with a jujube stick, and waiting for her disciple to return with a quiet face.
In the northwest sky, a goose-yellow figure appeared, extremely fast, and reached the front of him in an instant.
The woman has a round face, and her two smart eyes are particularly jumpy, and she looks eccentric.
"Aunt Miao Ling."
The woman shouted crisply, although the two are masters and apprentices, she still prefers the title of childhood.
The old woman nodded with a smile, touched the top of her head and said:
"You must be hungry all the way back, so I've left you food."
The young woman smiled, squeezed out two dimples, and helped the old lady to walk towards the tulou.
……
At the dinner table, the woman was sitting precariously, not looking at the delicacies on the table, and said with a little self-reproach:
"Ye'er is useless, I still haven't been able to hear from him this time."
The old lady did not show surprise, gave the other party a chopstick dish, and said in a flat tone:
"It's been a hundred years, and he shouldn't be able to come back before our Gu clan completely loses its inheritance."
The longevity of the Gu clan is limited, even the Gu master is no exception, so he is no longer confined to the filth brought by the grains, and even if the body is kept clean and transparent, it still can't escape the three-hundred-year limit.
Miao Ye'er was also solid-eyed, she couldn't resist the temptation of food, picked up the bowl and ate it, Miao Ling looked at her lovingly, and her thoughts couldn't help but drift back to a hundred years ago.
……
When she returned to the clan, the Gu Mother told her that the Immortal Gu was related to the future of the entire clan, and thousands of years ago, the ancestor relied on a Gu King to obtain the ability, and this ability could be passed down from generation to generation.
It is said that the Immortal Gu King has a golden body, devouring the blood of no less than a hundred ancient gods, and its own strength is infinitely close to the Holy Void Realm, and it can even turn into a human form, the ancestor of the Gu clan is kind to it, and he has gained some of his power at one time.
Later, the immortals destroyed the Gu, and the Immortal Gu King disappeared with it, and the Gu clan was forcibly drained from the bloodline and fell back into mortals, and the only remaining trace of power was also consumed little by little in thousands of years.
As long as you find the Immortal Gu King, you can restart the power of the bloodline, and the red Gu King brought back by Miao Ling is far inferior to the Golden Gu King, and it can only help one clansman awaken, but this is also a long-lost hope.
Miao Ling, who learned the original situation, rushed back to the battlefield non-stop, but the royal authority had already been captured by the Netherworld, and the woman went to the Netherworld Territory alone and fought with the Netherworld, so she was naturally not an opponent.
Ning Ji was a rare kindness, not only did she not kill her, but also told her that she was sent to the Yang Court, and then seemed to recall what happened to her, and told her not to trust men too much, otherwise she would only hurt herself.
Miao Ling went to the central court, but the result was another empty fight, the royal authority was taken away by the servants of the Holy Spirit, the grievances between the two were too great, it was difficult to come back alive, even if they could really escape, the spiritual gate would be opened once every thousand years, and he would not be able to wait for that time.
Miao Ling returned to the tribe and informed the Gu mother of the matter, the old man sighed, and said sadly:
"I'm afraid that the sky is going to kill my Gu clan."
The Gu clan will not be extinguished, because they still have many clansmen who can pass on their ancestry, but the tribe without the inheritance is already dead in a sense.
In the following decades, Miao Ling helped Gu Mu complete the relocation of the family, and the Immortal Gu King she brought back was used on Ye'er.
Ye Er's father was a famous Gu master, and he originally had a bright future, but later died unexpectedly in a battle to defend the clan, so Ye Er was the most qualified inheritor.
After that, the Gu Mother Immortal died, and Miao Ling took over, this is an honor and a confinement, she can no longer leave the clan at will, and the matter of finding the Immortal Gu can only be handed over to Ye'er.
……
The young woman was finally full, and she burped and wiped her mouth and said, "It's still delicious at home." ”
After speaking, she noticed the Gu Mother's expression and asked in a low voice:
"Is it true that after Ye'er dies, the Gu clan will really not produce Gu masters again?"
Miao Ling came back to his senses, looked at the red box in the corner of the room, and suddenly asked:
"Ye'er, have you met someone you like outside?"
"Huh?"
The young woman didn't understand what the master meant for a while, but she still shook her head honestly and said, "No." ”
"Who is the young man in the starry sky?"
The woman said nonchalantly:
"It's just a piece of wood, followed me all the way, I don't want him to come to the tribe, let him wait outside."
Miao Ling smiled, "Was it just ordinary at that time?" ”
Ye Er didn't seem to understand, and with a puzzled face, Miao Ling continued: "Bring the box." ”
……
The big red box was brought to the table, and there was not even a layer of floating ash on it, apparently it was often wiped down.
The old man gently opened the box and took out a wedding dress in the style of a unique tribe, she gently stroked the delicate pattern on it and said:
"There are rules in the clan, Gu mothers are not allowed to marry for life, and every stitch and thread on this is sewn by Gu mothers for generations, hoping that one day they can break the curse, and their descendants will not have to be as lonely as themselves."
Miao Ling said, looked up at the woman, and said with a gentle gaze:
"If I can't find him before I die, the Gu Mother inheritance will be cut off from me, and if you find someone worthy of entrusting your life in the future, you will wear this garment."
Miao Ye, who has always been very arrogant, had red eyes when she heard this, she didn't say angry words such as "don't marry in this life" and "keep the clan for the rest of your life", but solemnly took the wedding dress and nodded:
"Don't worry, auntie, I will definitely cherish it."
The woman knew that this was the hidden wish of the Gu mothers of the past generations.
When she was young, she saw her grandmother Gu alone in a daze with her wedding dress more than once, and when she grew up, she accidentally bumped into Aunt Miao Ling.
This is the regret of their lives, at some point in their lives, they once met a man who made their hearts move, but because of their mission, they could only seal the wedding dress in a box.
……
The master and apprentice chatted for a while, and Miao Ye suddenly caught a glimpse of something moving on the ground out of the corner of his eye, at first he thought it was a mouse, but when he turned his head, he found that it was a three-inch villain who was struggling to climb the steps.
The little man looked like a child, but he had two extremely incompatible mustaches, a high crown on his head, and a burden behind him.
Miao Ye'er suddenly became interested, pinched his collar and lifted him, and said curiously:
"Aunt Miao Ling, this is what you raised?"
"Let go, you rude girl."
The villain slapped the back of Miao Ye'er's hand, the woman retracted her hand in pain, and the villain sat on the red box with a butt, grinning in pain.
Miao Ling next to him looked at the villain curiously, obviously it was the first time he had seen it.
The villain grimaced at the young woman, stood up, and respectfully waved at Miao Ling:
"Dare to ask, but Miss Miao Ling?"
The old man nodded.
"I found it."
The three-inch villain muttered to himself with joy on his face, and then said while untying the burden on his body:
"I was entrusted by my master to deliver something to the girl."
