Chapter 12: Bead Curtain Roll
In the dimly lit room, Zhou Yi's face was cold and solemn, his hands were clenched into fists, and he gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to kill. However, as soon as he opened his mouth to talk to the old man in front of him, he was respectful: "Old immortal, please wait in the house for a while, I will send someone to arrest the Su family child and cast a spell." ”
He called the old man an immortal, but in fact, the old man was not a god, just an ordinary person, who could neither spell nor be able to survive birth, old age, sickness and death.
The old man always raised his neck high, his eyes slightly squinted, giving people an arrogant and unfathomable posture.
He waved his hand, "The matter has come to this point, which means that Ling Lang does not have this life." ”
Zhou Yi was anxious, "Didn't you say that you were able to take the life of the Su family's child last night, and my son will no longer be weak and afraid of the wind?" ”
The old man said: "Last night, there was no moon and a windy night, yin and yang were confused, and the universe was chaotic, which was indeed a godsend. But haven't you seen it yet? There are capable people blocking this matter, and you and I are not opponents. ”
"You're a god." Zhou Yi was in a hurry, and a spark popped out of his eyes.
The old man smiled coldly, "There are no immortals in the world, but they borrow the power of spirit porcelain to meet the vision of the world's laymen." The matter has come to this point, and Lord Zhou is good at doing it himself. ”
Zhou Yi saw that he wanted to leave, so he stopped him, "The reason I exchanged for 10,000 taels of gold for your Tiangong Tower's "Medicine King Out of the Mountain White Porcelain Zun" is to keep Jin'er's life!" Now that this is happening, you can't just walk away! ”
The old man snorted coldly: "In the past half a year, have I been helping you less?" If it weren't for me, you would have been targeted by the people of the court a long time ago, why would you be so carefree, and you would still be regarded as a great hero by the people of the world. ”
"What will happen to my son when you're gone?" Zhou Yi asked urgently.
The old man glanced back at the son who was lying on the bed and dying, "It's all fate." ”
A wisp of black smoke rose and the old man disappeared without a trace. Zhou Yi sat weakly on the chair and smashed it with a fist, and a crack suddenly snaked on the wooden table.
The door was pushed open, and a handsome boy walked in and bowed to Zhou Yi, "Dad." ”
"Dad, brother, he...... It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't be what he is now. ”
Zhou Yi sighed, waved his hand, and didn't want to say a word.
Gongzi Zhou Jin said: "Dad, I sent more people to arrest the Su family's children, and I also prepared 10,000 taels of gold." When the time comes, we can go to the West Palace Tower again and ask for a black porcelain statue to save my brother. ”
Seeing that his father was silent, Zhou Jin said: "Si Ying has escaped from the Thousand Porcelain Workshop, if we don't want to find a way, I'm afraid we will be in trouble because of him." ”
Zhou Yi asked coldly, "What do you want?" ”
Zhou Jin got closer and planned: "Yu Tiangong Tower asks for another black porcelain, change it into an invulnerable soft armor, become one with the body, immortal and indestructible." ”
Zhou Yi looked at Zhou Jin vigilantly, "He's going to die, and you still don't let him go?" What else do you want to change to? ”
Zhou Jin knelt on the ground, "Father! The son did not do this for himself, but for his father's great cause. In the past, we have exchanged my brother's fate and future for everything, and if we give up now, we will only fall short. The younger brother's efforts were also in vain. ”
"Father, I did this to make my younger brother worthwhile!"
Zhou Yi was angry, "Don't say it!" ”
Zhou Jin raised a face full of tears, "He is my younger brother, we grew up together, how can I not feel distressed?" Father do you remember the first time you told me that you would trade my brother's talent, peace, luck, and longevity for my Wen Taowuluo, how I cried and begged you not to do this? ”
"We are a family, and it is sad for anyone to make sacrifices, but we must not be blinded by grief and let the sacrifice be in vain."
Zhou Yi's eyebrows moved, a thought floated in her heart, and she suddenly asked: "Then let me ask you, if you are asked to make this sacrifice, are you willing?" ”
"Father!" Zhou Jin lowered his head, so that Zhou Yi couldn't see the look on his face, "The son's life is given by the father, and if the father is in need, the son will never give up." It's just that right now, Si Ying escaped from the Thousand Porcelain Workshop, and he is afraid that there will be chaos, so it is better to let his son get rid of Si Ying first. ”
Zhou Yi waved his hand and did not say anything.
Zhou Jin didn't say much, and withdrew from the room in frustration.
As soon as Zhou Jin exited, he was taken to the eldest lady's room by the housekeeper.
The door slammed shut, and the room was dim, with no lights, only a beam of light coming in through the window and falling on the futon in front of the Buddha statue.
The lady knelt on the futon, her head bowed, and her mouth reciting scriptures.
Wait until you have finished reciting the scriptures before you open your eyes.
Zhou Jin stepped forward to help, but his wife brushed his hand away and got up with the support of his personal grandmother.
Under the white light, the old lady stared at Zhou Jin, her eyes were like ashes, "There is something I have hidden in my heart for twenty years, and now I should tell you." ”
"You and Jin'er, the twins, were not born to me."
Zhou Jin was surprised, "Mother, you must have been overly worried and started to think cranky......"
The old lady raised her hand to interrupt him and continued: "You twins, you are strong in the womb, which is bitter for your mother-in-law." She gave birth to you for more than three days, and finally begged the doctor to disembowel her with a knife in exchange for the safety of your brothers. ”
The old lady's eyes pierced into Zhou Jin's eyes like a knife, "Every bite of food you eat now, every mouthful of water you drink, and every moment of freedom are exchanged for your mother's life!" If she had a spirit in heaven, do you think she would like to see the situation today? ”
"Mother! I don't know what you're talking about. Zhou Jin knew that he had used his younger brother Zhou Jin to trade with Tiangonglou, but he refused to admit it.
The old lady didn't listen to his defense, "Zhou Jin! Do you know who your mother is? She is not the woman that Zhou Mansion Ming Media is marrying, she is the girl your father Qinglou met while drinking flower wine. At the age of five, he was sold as a tea picker, at the age of eight he was resold to someone for a secret marriage, at the age of ten he was robbed, and at the age of twelve he was sold to a green house as a maid. Later, I was urged by the bustard to pick up customers, and I met your father. ”
"She was pregnant when I knew this, and according to the rules, she was going to be killed. She knelt outside my door and begged for three days, fainted twice, and almost died, and begged me again and again, saying that she was willing to take care of the old lady for me, and only wanted to keep the child alive. I relented and agreed, because the tricky and eccentric old lady really needed someone to take care of her. ”
"If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant, and the old man could no longer have children because he was framed, it would have been impossible for the old lady to let her live until the day she gave birth to you."
"I still remember the basin after basin of blood that came out of the house that day. Later, she grabbed my handkerchief and begged me to spare the two children, and it was only after I nodded that she finally gave her breath. ”
"After I learned about her life experience, I knew that everything was not her own choice, and I felt sorry for her, so I forgave all kinds of things, raised you brothers as my own children, and taught you civil and military skills."
"Your younger brother Zhou Jin is gifted and intelligent, and he is kind by nature, and he can only tolerate and never disobey your strong brother, even so, you can't tolerate him."
Zhou Jin didn't want to listen anymore, "Mother, don't say it, you're tired." ”
The old lady's eyes were cold, and she asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”
Zhou Jin was silent for a moment and said, "My younger brother is kind by nature, this is his strength and his weakness. If I am a substitute and he is a living person, even if I have immortality, Wen Taowu strategy, and thaumaturgy, I can't do many big things, and I can't protect the Zhou Mansion. ”
The meaning of his words is already obvious.
A tear flowed from the old lady's eyes, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”
She had an extra medicine bottle in her hand, which contained medicinal powder, as long as she spilled the medicinal powder, Zhou Jin would faint to the ground, and she couldn't go to Tiangong Tower to exchange the dying Zhou Jin for his soft armor.
At the door, a black shadow flashed, and the next moment, an invisible huge force hit the old lady and the old lady at the same time, and the two fell to the ground, vomiting blood.
The door was kicked open, and the old man Zhou Yi walked in with the cold wind, helped Zhou Jin away, and dropped a cold sentence: "The benevolence of a woman!" ”
