Chapter 522: Get the Tree Lotus!
Chapter 522: Get the Tree Lotus!
Ji Chang sighed: "Many people think that we tolerate them because of the expensive gifts they gave back then, but in fact, what are those gifts? My Ji family has been going on since the primeval era, and although those things are good, we really put them in our eyes?"
"Then why?" Ji Yuyan looked at her grandfather suspiciously.
Ji Chang sighed, was silent for a long time, a look of struggle flashed in his eyes, and then he said slowly: "This Li Si who died today is the son of the Holy Emperor."
When Qin Li heard this, he didn't feel anything, because he didn't know who this Holy Emperor was, but Ji Yuyan was shocked, and her pink face suddenly turned pale.
Lost his voice and said: "This ...... How is this possible? son of the Holy Emperor...... How could such a thing be done? How could the Holy Emperor allow him to be born? Didn't it mean that the Holy Emperor and the Clan were not born?"
Ji Chang pointed to the tall tree lotus outside with a wry smile on his face, and said: "Our Ji family, every 100,000 years, when the tree lotus bears fruit, it will send thirty percent of the filial piety to the Holy Emperor, but a hundred years ago, your parents cultivated a special potion that made the tree lotus bloom and bear fruit in a very short time. But this matter was leaked by a traitor in the family, so the Holy Emperor sent someone to inquire that all the tree lotus fruits at that time had been picked, and most of them were taken by you, so we naturally denied it. ”
Ji Chang said, looking at the tall tree lotuses outside with a pair of deep eyes, and said slowly: "But not long after, your aunt came over, and we didn't feel anything at the time, until later, when your parents suddenly died, and when your aunt took the man named Li Si, we found out that Li Si poisoned your parents, so we wanted to kill all of them to avenge your parents." Your mother's family, although it is also a little powerful, is still too far behind my Ji family, and besides, this matter itself is their fault. But later, when we wanted to do it, Li Si suddenly revealed his identity, of course we didn't believe it, so we sent someone to the Holy Emperor to ask for instructions, child, do you know what the Holy Emperor said?"
"The Holy Emperor has admitted it?" Ji Yuyan looked incredulous.
Ji Chang shook his head helplessly, and said: "The Holy Emperor naturally won't admit it, but he said that Li Si is one of his juniors, and the juniors like to mess around, so don't mix with the old man......"
Speaking of this, Ji Chang glanced at Qin Li, and then said: "Later, there were guards around the Holy Emperor who quietly came to our family, gave us a lot of treasures, and told me that Li Si is an illegitimate son of the Holy Emperor, although it is not visible, and the Holy Emperor does not like him, but after all, this is the blood of the Holy Emperor, and the Holy Emperor cannot watch his child being killed...... Yan'er, now, do you understand why we have tolerated them for so many years? You know, here in Jijiagu, since the death of your parents, I came here for the first time, and my heart is not comfortable."
Ji Yuyan sat there with a little lost in her eyes, and after a long time, she showed a sad smile and said, "Then if I kill him today, won't I cause great trouble for the family?"
Ji Chang smiled faintly and said: "My Ji family is in this extremely cold and ice land, the power is huge, if it really fights, it doesn't necessarily mean that he is afraid of what else the Holy Emperor can do, at most, it is to hand over a substitute ghost, calm the anger of the Holy Emperor, let him have a step down, and that's it."
Ji Chang's words were an understatement, but Ji Yuyan and Qin Li both knew that things would not be so simple, at this time, Qin Li suddenly thought of a question and asked: "Senior Ji, junior has a question, I don't know if to ask?"
"Hehe, young man, you ask. Ji Chang seemed to be very satisfied with Qin Li and said with a smile.
"Since the uncle and aunt developed a special medicine that can promote the growth of the tree lotus, is the formula of this medicine lost now? Why doesn't the Ji family use this thing and cultivate a large number of masters, in that case, naturally there is no need to be afraid of anyone?"
Hearing Qin Li call his parents uncles and aunts, Ji Yuyan's face was slightly red, her eyes were a little evasive, and she didn't dare to look at her grandfather.
Ji Chang sighed and said helplessly: "That potion, not long after Yan'er's parents developed it, at that time, they did have some manuscripts, but after they died, those manuscripts all disappeared mysteriously. ”
"Could it be that Li Si and them got to go?" Qin Li asked.
Ji Chang shook his head and said, "Maybe there is this possibility, but the manuscript is not complete, otherwise, they would not have lived here for a hundred years."
Ji Chang said, glanced at the wooden box in Ji Yuyan's hand, and said, "He stopped you from taking this wooden box today, he must have thought that the remaining manuscript was in this wooden box."
Ji Yuyan suddenly raised her head, looked at her grandfather with clear eyes and said, "Grandpa, do you think so too?"
Ji Chang shook his head and said: "That manuscript, even if it is obtained, it is useless, the number of botanists in this world is very small, and without botanists, I don't want to make that kind of medicine." Moreover, even if they waited here for another thousand years, they would not be able to get all the information on the potion, and your father told me that the manuscript for the manufacture of the special potion was only eighty percent written, and the other twenty percent was in his and your mother's minds."
When Qin Li heard this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and said that Ji Yuyan's parents were not simple back then, and they didn't write the manuscript in full, I'm afraid that what they are afraid of is this kind of thing today, right?
"I see. Ji Yuyan said softly, then reached out and opened the square wooden box in her hand.
Inside, a dried lotus flower occupies more than half of the wooden box, quietly placed there, here, there is a golden phoenix hairpin, and a colorful wooden doll, in addition, this wooden box, there is nothing
Seeing these things, Ji Yuyan's eyes instantly became gentle, and she seemed to return to the carefree days of her childhood.
"Tree Lotus?" Ji Chang's eyes were very sharp, and he could see at a glance what this dry flower was.
Ji Yuyan nodded, closed the wooden box, and handed it to Qin Li, who casually received it into the storage ring. Ji Yuyan said at this time: "Grandpa, what are you going to do next? Unexpectedly, my aunt turned out to be the daughter-in-law of the Holy Emperor, how does grandpa plan to settle them?"
Ji Chang said slowly: "The two of them, mother and daughter, are no longer suitable to continue to live in this world Today's things, they all see it in their eyes, let's just find a substitute for the dead, they won't agree, Yan'er, what do you think about this matter?"
"I ......" Although my aunt participated in the killing of her parents, even if she didn't participate, at least she was an insider, but killing them like this, Ji Yuyan always felt a little unbearable.
Qin Li said softly at this time: "Senior Ji is right to do this, after they all die, they will send the corpse directly to the Holy Emperor, and say, it is the same as the cause of death of Yu Yan's parents back then, the Ji family can't find it out, there is nothing they can do, please ask the Holy Emperor to help check it." ”
Ji Yuyan said: "In that case, wouldn't the Holy Emperor know at a glance that his son was poisoned?
"Hehe, what if you can see it? admit that this poison belongs to his family? Then the cause of death of your parents back then ......" Qin Li said this, and he was silent.
Ji Yuyan was slightly stunned, blinked her eyes, and then said: "Yes, even if he knows, he can only accept this fact."
At this time, someone entered the door and whispered a few words in Ji Chang's ear, Ji Chang nodded, indicating that he understood, and waved his hand to let the person leave.
Then he said: "They are a family of three, and they have all been awarded the first Yan'er, the great enemy of your parents...... Reported"
Ji Yuyan nodded silently, among the three people who died, two of them were directly related to her, and they had no feelings for Xiaoman, but her aunt was a relative after all, so Ji Yuyan couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad now, she raised her head and said softly: "Grandpa, I want to go and pay homage to my parents." ”
Ji Chang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to have a look."
Ji Yuyan's parents were buried in a leeward and sunny place in Jijia Valley, under a tree lotus that was thousands of meters high, a grave, quietly located there.
Ji Yuyan knelt in front of her parents' graves, crying silently.
Ji Chang stood behind, also silent, feeling sorry for his son on the one hand, but on the other hand, he thought: If they don't die, I'm afraid that now the Ji family has surpassed the Holy Emperor and become the real overlord of this polar region
It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes
Qin Li stood there, bowed a few times to the tomb silently, and said in his heart: Your revenge has been avenged, so you two elders, under Jiuquan, you should also be blind, Yu Yan is doing well now, you don't have to worry about it.
On the same day, Qin Li and Ji Yuyan did not leave directly, and stayed in Ji Chang's stay, and lived in Jijia Valley.
Interestingly, these people all regarded Qin Li as the husband Ji Yuyan was looking for, and they desperately persuaded Qin Li to drink when they were drinking, wanting to bring down Qin Li.
Because they couldn't see Qin Li's realm, they all regarded Qin Li as a young man with average strength, and although there was no contempt in his attitude, his words were somewhat too casual.
Qin Li didn't care about this, he didn't refuse to come, he didn't need to force the wine out of his body at all, he only needed to use the innate purple qi to neutralize it a little, and the wine that was drunk would naturally be converted into energy and stored.
Therefore, even if there was more wine, Qin Li would not take it seriously at all
In the end, Qin Li's boldness also won the appreciation of some people, a middle-aged man named Uncle Seventh by Ji Yuyan, patted Qin Li's shoulder with drunken eyes and said, "Little brother, your strength is not good...... It's okay, that doesn't matter, as long as you have the heart, you can improve the Ji family...... Like an aunt like you."
