Part 1 Staggered Time and Space Chapter 4 The Journey of the Kingdom of Li

Section 314 Elder Visits (4)

"You, hmph, don't be defensive to tell you, it's just that this matter is related to my luck in the villa, and it's not something that can be said here."

Yueqing turned her head to look at Mo Xue, Chang Yuxiao, and Qi Jiao, "Seventh Elder, Chang Yuxiao is my spiritual guard, and basically he will know what I know." As for Qi Jiao and Mo Xue, the Seventh Elder felt that with their identity, they couldn't know about it? ”

The Seventh Elder glanced at Mo Xue and the others.

The fifth elder said: "The master of the Qingyue Courtyard knows that the master of the Peony Courtyard and the master of the Wutong Courtyard also don't know about this. It's not that they can't let them know, it's just that this spirit girl's guarding the leylines is the secret of the Chang clan, and it is also related to the luck of my villa. Except for the patriarchs of the various clans and the elders of the mountain villa, no one else could know. ”

Yueqing was about to say more, but Mo Xue stepped forward and said, "Miss, you don't need to say it again, let's avoid it." ”

Yueqing thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, why don't you just go back and wait for me, and we'll go back later."

Mo Xue saluted, went to talk to Jiao and Xiao, and returned to the courtyard together.

Yueqing walked to the square chair and sat down: "Now that there is no one, the two elders can tell me." ”

The Seventh Elder also took a few steps and sat down on the square chair opposite her. The Fifth Elder sat down next to her.

The Seventh Elder sighed and said, "You girl, you have said that it is not good to know about this matter, you have to know." ”

Yueqing smiled: "It's always uncomfortable to have things in your heart." ”

"We told you about it, would you like to tell us about the priestess's courtyard?"

Yueqing thought for a moment, "Seventh Elder, are you planning to exchange news?" Didn't I say that I hadn't even entered the courtyard of the goddess, so I can't guarantee anything. Well, I can promise you how about at least one thing when I go in? ”

The eyes of the Seven Elders were obviously dissatisfied.

The fifth elder smiled: "You girl, the longer you stay here, the more shrewd you become." I still remember that I was willing to say anything in the mountain villa in order to achieve my goal. ”

"The five elders have all said that I am trying to achieve my goal, isn't it? exchanged information. ”

The Seventh Elder snorted, "Not only is he shrewd, but he is also very good at buying people's hearts. These people sent by the mountain villa have only been out with you for a long time, and they are not very willing to listen to the admonition of our two elders. ”

"How can it be, Seventh Elder, you think too much."

"Hmph, I have already reprimanded them today, you have to be called the master of the courtyard, not Miss, but they didn't listen to it at all, and they still call you Miss."

Yueqing smiled: "You can't blame them for this, it's my rule, I don't think I like the title of the courtyard master, I'm already out of the villa, what are you doing with such a strange title, isn't it noticeable?" Do you want to protect me or expose me? ”

"Strong words, my Chang's women rarely show up, let alone spirit girls. If you don't have to be exposed to outsiders, where do you have to worry about that? ”

Yue Qing hurriedly stretched out her hand to interrupt the words of the Seventh Elder: "Okay, okay, Seventh Elder, can we get farther and farther away, do you want to discuss with me here whether you should go out for activities or stay at home?" Even if you had this time, I wasn't going to spend time here with you. Let's talk about this too, back to the point. ”

The Seven Elders sighed. He stood up and walked to Yueqing's side, and looked at the garden again.

"No one in my Chang clan has dared to speak to me like this, and since you appeared, there has been no peace."

Yueqing turned to look at her: "You can't say that, don't the Seventh Elders also think that I have brought immeasurable value to the villa, right?" Otherwise you wouldn't have tolerated me so much. ”

The Seventh Elder gave her a blank look. "Since you want to know so much, it's defenseless to tell you."

The Seventh Elder turned and walked back to the chair opposite him and sat down.

Yueqing looked at her, indicating that she was listening.

The Seventh Elder said, "You have participated in the Spirit Girl Test, and you have also seen the test of the Spirit Stone, what do you think are the characteristics of the Spirit Stone?" ”

Yueqing recalled, "Eh, will it glow?" ”

The Seven Elders glared at her.

Yueqing hurriedly said: "Oh, I want to think about it, that spirit stone usually doesn't glow, and it needs the spirit girl to press her hand to glow, oh yes, the Wutong courtyard master will feel uncomfortable when they get close to the spirit stone." ”

The Seven Elders nodded. "You're right, the spirit girl will feel uncomfortable when she gets close to the spirit stone, and if the spirit stone wants to light up, she needs to have a spirit girl lay her hand on the spirit stone. Do you know why that's that? ”

"Isn't it to test the spirit girl's abilities?"

"That's the effect, I asked?"

"How do I know this, I'm a foreigner, let alone know the reason, just seeing this kind of spirit stone that glows because of people feels very strange."

The Seventh Elder said, "The reason why the spirit stone glows is because it is absorbing the spirit girl's soul energy. Including the spirit stones that the spirit girls usually wear? ”

Yueqing frowned: "Didn't you say that this spirit stone is a good thing for the body?" What nourishes the soul? All lied to us? ”

"Of course not, although the spirit stone that the spirit girl usually wears will also absorb the spirit girl's energy, but the difference with the test spirit stone is that it will store those energy in the spirit stone, and then feed back into the spirit girl's body. And after the spirit girls' own energy is absorbed, they will also recover on their own. In this way, absorbing the energy of the spirit stone will naturally nourish itself more. The longer you wear it, the more noticeable the effect will be. ”

"Oh, there's such a good thing, what about the test spirit stone? Where does the absorbed energy go back? ”

"It's stored in the spirit stone, the spirit stone is not commonly used, and the energy absorbed is not much, plus it will dissipate some of it itself."

"Oh, so the Sycamore Courtyard Masters, they are very uncomfortable because the energy of their souls has been absorbed. So why am I okay? ”

"This has something to do with the strength of the soul's ability, the stronger the ability, the more unaffected it is. The reason why you are not affected is because of your strong ability, so that the spirit stone has very little effect on you. ”

Yueqing nodded. "The Seventh Elder has said so much, what does it have to do with that leyline altar?"

The Seven Elders looked at her: "Because the leyline altar also has a spirit stone, and the spirit girl guarding the altar is guarding the spirit stone." ”

Yueqing smiled: "What should I be, just a spirit stone, keep it, don't you want to be so mysterious." ”

Seventh Elder: "That spirit stone is different, its effect is thousands of times stronger than the test spirit stone. ”

Yueqing was stunned: "Thousands of times, how can the spirit girl keep it?" If it's a thousand times stronger, it's a problem to even get close. ”

The Seventh Elder nodded: "What you said is right, so there is a formation on the altar, which will reduce its influence on the spirit girl and become much gentler." ”

"What about the effect, will it also be reduced?"

"Naturally, it will be lowered, but no matter how the spirit stone is suppressed, the consumption of the spirit girl's soul is also huge?"

Yueqing frowned and was silent for a long time: "What about the results of the last spirit girls who guarded the altar?" ”

The eyes of the seven elders were firm and fierce: "The spirit girls who go in can't get out, and all that awaits them is death." They will be slowly consumed in the altar and eventually die of exhaustion. ”

Yueqing's brows furrowed even deeper. "So as long as you go in, you can't get out, Seventh Elder, why do you do such a cruel thing, didn't the mountain villa say that the spirit girl is noble? Is this how much you respect the Spirit Maiden? ”

After speaking, he looked at the five elders: "Fifth elders, do you also know about this?" Didn't your Qi clan protect the Chang clan? Isn't it said that you are proud to be able to protect the spirit girl? Don't you feel anything as you watch the spirit girl walk towards the altar? ”

The fifth elder looked lonely, "How can I not feel it, if possible, the old man also wants to go in instead of them." ”

The Seventh Elder said: "Yueqing girl, you don't have to question the Fifth Elder like this, this is my Chang Clan's duty, it is my Chang Clan's tradition, and I have been doing this for thousands of years. ”

Yueqing said coldly: "Can I ask the reason?" Why did Chang do this? ”、

The Seventh Elder said: "Because of the mountain villa, the mountain villa needs the power of the spirit girl, and there is a mysterious power under the mountain villa, which will consume the vitality of the people living here. The most affected is the Chang family, especially the Chang family's women. Chang's women are often frail and sickly, and that's because of this. ”

"What effect does the Spirit Maiden guarding the altar do to that power?"

"As long as the spirit girl of the altar absorbs enough soul energy, it will not have much impact on the outside world, everyone in the villa can live here in peace, and the bloodline of the Chang clan can be better preserved."

Yueqing said: "Then, how long can the loss of a spirit girl keep that spirit stone stable?" ”

"It depends on the spirit girl's abilities."

"What about the master of the Peony Courtyard as an example?"

"Ling'er's ability is superior, and she can probably make the spirit stone stable for twenty or thirty years."

"Such a short period of time."

"It's already a long time, and you have to count the auxiliary role of the spiritual guards on her."

"Lingwei?"

"Yes, if the master of the Peony Courtyard goes to guard the leylines, everyone in her courtyard will naturally follow her. In order to prolong the life of the spirit girl, all the red guards will become spirit guards and prioritize the consumption of their own lives, as for those who do not have soul stones, they will also be buried in the underground palace after the death of the spirit girl to show their loyalty to the spirit girl. ”

Yueqing was amazed in her heart.

"Then why don't you get out of here? The villa is so powerful, you can't go anywhere, you just need to change your life. ”

The Seventh Elder smiled, "This is impossible. ”

"Why?"

"Because the forbidden place of the goddess is here. When we stay here, we are guarding the forbidden place of the goddess. ”

"Who knows when the goddess will come, just send someone to see it every once in a while."

The Seventh Elder looked at her: "You have this kind of thinking because you are not from here, the goddess is the belief of my villa, even if my Chang clan dies here, I will not stay away from the forbidden land of the goddess, this is our root, we will not go anywhere, we will stay here for generations." ”

Yueqing was depressed in her heart, and she didn't know what to say, it turned out that it was for the sake of this so-called goddess.

Seeing her sad expression, the Seventh Elder said, "The old body just said that knowing it is not good for you, and these are not things you should worry about. No matter how you choose, it is impossible to send the most qualified spirit girl to the altar. ”

Yueqing raised her head: "What about the master of the Peony Courtyard?" Will she be sent? ”

The Seventh Elder lowered his head and sighed: "I have watched these children grow up since I was a child, and I don't want to send any of them, but someone must stabilize the leyline." And as it stands, Ling'er is the most suitable candidate. ”

"Why is she the best fit?"

"Because the ability of the spirit girl guarding the leyline altar can't be too weak."

"The ability of the master of Wutong Courtyard is not weaker than her."

"Although the master of Wutong Courtyard is not weak, her body is too weak, and she won't live long if she enters the leyline. Not to mention entering the leyline, even now it makes people worry about how long she can last, and the spiritual guards in the Wutong Courtyard have already gone to two, but they still can't stop her body from weakening. On the one hand, the reason why she is so weak is because of herself, and the biggest reason is because she is most affected by the leylines.

It has been a long time since there has been no spirit girl guarding the leylines, and the spirit stone does not know how long it can be stable. If it goes on like this, not to mention the master of the Peony Courtyard, other women of the Chang family will also be weakened, including the master of the Peony Courtyard. ”

Yueqing raised her head: "Is there no other way?" ”

The Seventh Elder looked at her, "Of course there is. ”

"What's the solution?"

"The goddess is alive. As long as the goddess is alive, the spirit stone will be completely stable, even if the goddess dies, the spirit stone will be stable for a hundred years, and there is no need for the spirit girl to protect it for a hundred years. ”

Yueqing was speechless for a long time, "Can I go and see the spirit stone?" ”

The Seventh Elder reprimanded: "It's nonsense, what kind of place should you be, you are the most powerful spirit girl in my mountain villa, how can you let you go to that leyline." ”

Yueqing said: "The test spirit stone has no effect on me, and I don't think that the earth vein spirit stone may have an impact on me." ”

"That's not possible, if you want to solve the predicament of my villa, the most important thing to do is to let the goddess appear earlier, and leave more heirs for my Chang clan, and the problem of this leyline will naturally be solved by my Chang clan. The old body often thought that maybe the decision to let you leave the villa was the right one, at least it wouldn't be consumed by the spirit stone. ”

"Won't it be affected if you leave the villa?"

"The farther away from that spirit stone, the less affected it will be."

Yueqing didn't ask any further.

The Seventh Elder said, "Okay, I've already told you everything you want to know, don't forget what you promised me." ”

Yueqing sighed: "Seventh Elder, don't worry, I won't forget." ”

"Hmph, the old body won't rest assured, when you left the villa, you said that you would leave an heir for the Chang family, but you didn't even have a man in the same room, you don't believe it, how can you rest assured."

Yueqing replied: "These are two different things, the goddess courtyard has nothing to do with me, I won't feel guilty about betraying them for one or two things, and telling you won't have any impact on me." How can you not do it, the Seventh Elder should not always hold on to my heirs, or hurry up and urge the Chang clan people in your villa to work harder. ”

The Seven Elders didn't have a good face.

Yueqing ignored her and sighed, "Hey, Seventh Elder is right, this is really not a pleasant topic, but I'm glad you can tell me." Although it is depressing, it is better than being in the dark. We've been talking for too long, Mo Xue and they should be in a hurry, let's go back quickly. ”
