Chapter 67: Undercurrents
Harvest's answer really surprised Shi Nian, even he doubted whether he was the 'Shi Nian', and Harvest actually believed that he wasn't!
"There's one thing I've been hiding from my father and mother. ”
He raised his head and poured a large sip of strong wine, and only said slowly when the heat in his chest was rolling: "Fourteen years ago, my younger brother was kidnapped, and I searched the world for three years without finding anything, and finally I had to go to the seclusion of my grandfather in southern Xinjiang and ask his old man for help. ”
He turned his head to look at Shi Nian, who already had some understanding, and said, "You have practiced with his old man for a period of time, you should know what his old man's methods are. Back then, his old man deduced the past with innate gossip, only to find that his younger brother had completely disappeared from heaven and earth, in other words, not only did he die, but even his true spirit was wiped out by people......
A true spirit is the mark of a living being, and it will not change even if it is reincarnated thousands of times. And once the true spirit is annihilated, it means that it has completely disappeared from the Three Realms, and there is no chance of reincarnation.
When it comes to the matter of the younger brother, the harvest is sad and angry. It is sad that the younger brother died shortly after birth, and the anger is that the murderer not only killed a baby while it was still in its infancy, but even wiped out its true spirit!
He has never dared to tell his parents, especially his mother, about this, for fear that his mother and daughter will not be able to withstand this blow.
"Have you found out who did it?" Shi Nian is also sorry for the 'Shi Nian' who has never met, that murderer is really too cruel, and he doesn't even let go of a child.
Bei Shu shook his head, jumped down from the rockery, and said to Shi Nian: "Although I can't be sure who did it, I can be sure that this matter must have something to do with Erniang's treasure." I'm afraid that if she thinks about her son, this will kill her little brother with natural resources. ”
Shi Nian was shocked, but he didn't expect that this matter was inextricably related to the treasure that seemed gentle and generous on the surface.
"The younger brother was born with a golden muscle and jade bone crystal body, which is the body of innate fire and virtue, the capital of heaven, and on the occasion of his birth, his grandfather even deliberately descended the Dharma as his name Shi Nian. And a day later, Erniang Fubao also gave birth to a son, who was identified as the body of Tude, slightly inferior to the younger brother. His grandfather also named him Miao Qi, and claimed that the two had the attitude of inheriting the great cause. ”
When Bei Shu said this, Shi Nian had already roughly understood. This is nothing more than the drama of the two sons seizing the heir, and in order to let his son get the attention of Shaodian, Fubao sent someone to murder Shi Nian. said a thousand ways and ten thousand, which originated from Fu Xi's sentence 'The two have the posture of inheriting the great cause'.
The so-called mother is expensive by virtue of her son, and the attached treasure is the second concubine of Shaodian, as long as the youngest son of Nudeng is brought down, it is not impossible to be promoted to the concubine of Shaodian.
In fact, after the disappearance of the 'Year of the Stone', the heartbroken Nuden left this sad place and moved to the bank of Jiang Shui alone, and Fubao naturally became the concubine.
If it weren't for the fact that Nu Deng heard that the body of the ancestor Thunder God would be brought back by his eldest son and rushed back to Wanqiu yesterday, I am afraid that he would not be able to see Shi Nian, let alone recognize his son.
Knowing the undercurrent of this Shaodian family, Shi Nian smiled bitterly and said, "Aren't I in danger then?"
Except for one person in the Shaodian Mansion, the rest of the people think that he is the stone year who disappeared more than ten years ago, and the Yuan Concubine was able to poison a baby who was still in swaddling clothes more than ten years ago, not to mention now, I am afraid that if I stay here for one more day, my life will be in danger.
"Don't worry, you can be my brother with peace of mind, as long as I am here, Erniang won't dare to touch you!"
In fact, he was passive in this matter, although he knew that the initiator was Erniang's treasure, but no matter what, the treasure was an elder, and as a junior, he couldn't say anything, let alone do anything. Of course, this is not the case if there is substantial and sufficiently convincing evidence.
"This world is too dangerous, I'd better heal my injuries quickly, and then go to the Void Secret Realm, which is relatively safe. ”
Shi Nian muttered, turned around and walked towards the stone house. But he didn't take a few steps, he suddenly turned back, snatched the wine gourd from his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother, this pot of medicinal wine will be given to my brother, no problem, right?"
After speaking, he didn't wait for Bei to accept or not, and went into the stone house.
"This kid!" looked at his empty hands, and scolded with a smile.
Shi Nian, who returned to the house, happily drank a sip of medicinal wine, and immediately the abundant life essence and aura circulated among the limbs and organs. This wine is a good thing, whether it is healing or restoring mana, it has a great effect!
Although he has a more precious elixir than this medicinal wine, it is his old book, and he can't just use it.
"Hurry up and heal, otherwise you won't know when you'll die!"
After muttering, he immediately settled down and used his skills to heal his wounds.
Shi Nian concentrated on the exercise of healing, and the leper dog was relatively stable for the first few days, but after a few days, he couldn't sit still, and slipped out in the middle of the night, and when he came back, his mouth was full of dirt.
Shi Nian, who wanted to heal as soon as possible, didn't bother to take care of the leper dog, and with the help of medicine and wine, his injuries improved rapidly.
At the end of the day and night, the leper dog was about to go out again, but as soon as he stood up, he immediately lay down, and the thief's eyes grunted. At this time, Shi Nian also opened his eyes, and he sensed that there were people outside the house, and more than one, who were quietly approaching here.
It was when Shi Nian was thinking about whether to shout for help, and a few people outside quietly disappeared, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
After that, almost every night, people approached the stone house, but those people did not seem to have any concerns and did not dare to enter the house. Slowly, Shi Nian was also relieved, thinking that it was Bei Cheng who was protecting himself, and he didn't care if there was anyone or no at the moment, he was healing himself.
Shi Nian stayed in the stone house for more than half a month, and Nu Deng also delivered food three times a day, and it didn't fall for a day, which made Shi Nian moved. Although he can already open the valley, the feeling of being cared for and cared for like this is really warm.
From the beginning of being coerced to recognize Nu Deng as his stepmother, he slowly began to really regard Nu Deng as a mother in his heart, because she is really similar to his mother, just as gentle and kind, and as close to himself.
In the middle of another day and night, the mysterious person who appeared almost every day in the past half a month did not come again, and the leper dog, who had not gone out for half a month, finally went out excitedly. Shi Nian could think of it even with his toes, and this non-stop dog cub must have stolen medicine.
He had told the leper dog not to be insatiable to engage in those elixirs, and if he only made some old medicines, the great cause of the Shaodian Mansion would not be good. The previous few times the leper dog was safe, and this time he took it for granted that it was okay.
The morning sun rose in the east, the morning light sprinkled on the green courtyard, Shi Nian stood up and stretched his waist, the bones of his whole body collided, and there was a sound like fried beans.
"It's finally all right!"
Shi Nian was happy in his heart, after more than half a month, with the assistance of a pot of medicinal wine, he finally recuperated from the injuries he suffered in Lei Ze that day, and even his physical body improved slightly, and the condensation of his soul also improved. It can be said unceremoniously that as long as he is willing, he can condense the Yuan Shen at any time and advance to the God Transformation Realm.
"Wow! Wow......"
Outside the house, the howl of a leper dog suddenly sounded, and the sound was terrible. Shi Nian didn't have time to think about it, and stepped out with an arrow step.
In the courtyard, the leper dog was tied with a golden rope and hung upside down on the thick branches of an ancient tree, while below were several seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers laughing and laughing, and one of them even held an iron whip and whipped it on the leper dog from time to time, until the leper dog screamed.
"Stop!"
Shi Nian shouted, the whip-wielding boy paused for a moment, looked back and saw Shi Nian outside the house, smiled evilly, waved the whip and hit it again.
Shi Nian was furious, how to say that beating the dog depends on the owner, he flickered his footsteps, turned into lightning and bullied, and grabbed the iron whip when it was not more than a foot away from the leper dog.
"What do you mean?"
The iron whip was grabbed by Shi Nian, and the young man couldn't pull it anymore, so he immediately said with a gloomy face: "If you don't let go, believe it or not, I will beat you together?"
Shi Nian snorted coldly, his arms shook slightly, and the young man was thrown three feet away with a whip, and almost fell to the ground. If it weren't for Shi Nian's mercy, why not throw it out of three zhang? I'm afraid it would be more than thirty zhang!
"Shi Nian, don't think that you are the uncle's righteous son and can do evil in the house!"
The companion was thrown out, and the remaining teenagers stood together and shouted at Shi Nian.
These people have seen Shi Nian, and they know that they are all the sons of Shaodian's younger brothers, and they also have the blood of the human emperor flowing in their bodies. He didn't have a few birds, and he reached out and grabbed the golden rope to tear it off, but strangely enough, he couldn't pull it off.
"I can't help myself!"
The young man who was thrown out by Shi Nian before walked back with an iron whip, looked at Shi Nian with a look of disdain and said, "Even if you have great strength, how can you break the immortal rope made of gold essence mixed with hundred-year-old silk?"
Shi Nian still didn't speak, and the seven hundred and twenty fires in his body turned in unison, flowing out of a terrifying mana. He once again held his hands on the so-called immortal rope, and with a soft shout, the law and force moved together, and terrifying fluctuations surged around his body.
"Hey!"
With another low roar, the young men were stunned and burst into a shocking momentum, and with a pop, the rope of the immortal bundle was broken.
"Woohoo!"
The leper dog who had been able to break free from his restraints howled excitedly, and then bared his teeth at the five teenagers.
"Really...... Was he really pulled it off?"
"How much strength does it take to pull the rope of the immortal rope apart?"
The teenagers were dumbfounded, they couldn't believe that the rope was really broken by a fourteen-year-old boy, you must know that it was a rope that even a king could tie!
It was the young man with the iron whip who came back to his senses first, he pointed to the leper dog and said to Shi Nian: "What about the strength? Your dog has committed a great crime, and as the master, you should also be punished.
"Yes, the leper dog will be put to death, and you will have your hands cut off!" the remaining four teenagers echoed in unison.
