After lunch in Baifu, Ling'er's mother instructed her subordinates to prepare a guest room for Xiao An. Coming all the way from the island here, experiencing the thrill of life and death, sitting on the bed at this time, Xiao Kian already felt soft all over, and it seemed that he could fall asleep instantly as soon as he lay down.

After planning his future plans, Xiao An unconsciously closed his eyes and fell asleep deeply. Maybe it was because I was too tired, and I didn't wake up until it got dark.

At this time, Bai Ling'er had already woken up, and she was in good spirits. Touching the jade flute hidden between his sleeves, a look of excitement flashed in Bai Ling'er's eyes.

Pushing open the door and looking up, the sky was already full of stars. "At this time, my mother-in-law should be stargazing. Bai Ling'er stroked her hair, looked at the shining stars, and muttered softly.

I walked all the way down the corridor, and after passing a courtyard, I arrived at the ancestral house where my mother-in-law lived. This is where the upper two generations of the Bai family lived, so it looks a little old. Perhaps out of nostalgia, Ling'er's mother-in-law was not willing to move to the new house in front of her, but lived here alone.

Because there are not many people in and out on weekdays, it is very cold. On such a clear night, except for a few scattered lanterns, the surrounding environment is also quiet.

Smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, Bai Ling'er walked out of the quiet path. When you raise your head, you can see the old figure of her mother-in-law, revealing a bit of mystery under the clear light of the moonlight.

This is an elderly man with paralysis of the lower limbs, so he can only be confined to a wheelchair all year round. Although she doesn't have those lively sounds in her life, she doesn't seem to be lonely, just like having the stars with her at this time, but she also feels a little comfortable in her heart.

In Bai Ling'er's memory, her mother-in-law can always guess something that is about to happen, or predict something to happen. Because thanks to this unpredictable ability of his mother-in-law, his father, who is in business, has saved the day many times. In Bai Ling'er's heart, her mother-in-law is a great astrologer, and she can judge some unknown things by looking at the stars at night.

"Mother-in-law, Ling'er is here to accompany you. Bai Ling'er walked over with brisk steps, and said in a light and intelligent voice.

The old man laughed kindly, his old face squeezed out the folds like the bark of an ancient tree, and laughed softly: "Ling'er is still the most filial, and she is willing to accompany her mother-in-law." ”

Bai Ling'er turned to her mother-in-law and squatted down, glanced up at the stars in the sky, and smiled mischievously: "Mother-in-law, from the stars, did you calculate that I would come to see you today?"

The old man raised his head and laughed, and the old man's voice was a little sluggish: "You child, where will the stars tell your mother-in-law this." ”

"Mother-in-law, guess what I brought you?" Bai Ling'er said with a playful smile.

The old man shook his head lightly, and said with a loving look in his eyes: "Don't let your mother-in-law guess, your mother-in-law is old." ”

"Mother-in-law, look, what is this?" Bai Ling'er took out the jade flute, and her eyes flashed with a strange look.

"Oh, Ling'er got this thing back?" the old man also said in disbelief.

"Yes, do you think Ling'er is very powerful?" Bai Ling'er smiled affectionately and handed the jade flute to her mother-in-law.

The old man took the jade flute, and his withered old hand stroked the simple phoenix lines on Xiao's body, and his eyes showed a complex look that was difficult to read.

"What's the matter, mother-in-law?, aren't you happy that Ling'er brought this treasure back?" Seeing the elusive look in her mother-in-law's eyes, Bai Ling'er was also puzzled.

Gently putting down the jade flute in his hand, the old man slowly raised his head, and under the silver glow of the moonlight, Bai Ling'er could vaguely see that there seemed to be a little tear on the corner of her mother-in-law's dry eyes.

Restraining the emotion in his heart, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a calm tone: "Ling'er, do you know that this jade flute once almost took the life of her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law is sitting in this wheelchair at this time, also because of this jade flute."

Listening to her mother-in-law's words, Bai Ling'er's nerves twitched slightly, and her eyes subconsciously turned to her mother-in-law's paralyzed legs. With a hint of pain, Bai Ling'er asked a little incredulously: "Mother-in-law, you said that your legs are caused by this jade flute?"

"Yes, that's been many years in the past" The old man sighed with emotion, recalling that painful past, and said in a slow voice: "At that time, my mother-in-law was still very young, and she was only the same age as Ling'er. A few decades ago, there was a war, and the city was unfortunately reduced to a battlefield, and the city was devastated by the war, and the poor were displaced, and it was difficult to keep themselves fed. It was at this time that a legend spread that thousands of years ago, there was a bustling capital city full of gold near Tianjing, which was later destroyed by a sudden and huge storm, and over time, the ancient city was gradually buried in the ground. After hearing this legend, the eyes of the poor people began to heat up, and a wave of gold rush began to grow more and more, and even attracted many caravans from other places, who drove here in horse-drawn carriages and hundreds of hundreds. Sure enough, the fanatics soon found the ruins of the ancient city, and they swarmed in, broke into the huge royal palace, and snatched the treasures like a demon. At this time, a huge phoenix covered in flames appeared in the sky above the ancient city, seeing this scene, although the people who plundered the treasure were surprised, but their minds were more focused on the treasure grabbing, and they did not pay much attention to the flame phoenix. ”

The old man paused, and then sighed lightly as if he was a little sorry, and then said: "Mother-in-law has no intention of snatching the treasure, but just wants to find a few secret books of blood cultivation from the royal family, when the mother-in-law rushed to the edge of the ancient city, she saw the fire phoenix, only to see it circling in the air again and again, and the sharp chirps in her mouth pierced the sky, as if she looked extremely desolate and helpless After seeing that kind of vision, the mother-in-law was also stunned at that time, and did not rush into the ancient city. It didn't take long for something strange to happen, only to see the dark clouds over the ancient city begin to gather, getting thicker and thicker, forming a huge black vortex, but in an instant, the ancient city was shrouded in darkness. At that time, my mother-in-law, who was outside the city, was also horrified when she saw this celestial phenomenon and retreated a few miles away. When the clouds had cleared, the mother-in-law rushed to the scene, only to find that the ancient city had disappeared out of thin air, leaving only the red dust in the sky, and the people who had robbed the treasure were gone. ”

Hearing her mother-in-law's story, Bai Ling'er also opened her mouth in shock, and was stunned for a long time before she asked slowly: "Mother-in-law, you just said that you want to go to the ancient city to find the secret book of blood cultivation in the ancient city?"

Fingers lightly against her thin lips, Bai Ling'er looked at the old man in front of her with some surprise.

(If you think the blood domain is still passable, I hope you can collect it)
