Chapter 145: Blossoms
"How many people from that caravan you were in went out back then?" Su Heng asked another question.
"There's only one, and the others should all be dead. Shi Tuo couldn't help but be gloomy after speaking, "But we didn't dare to spread the news, so we said that more than a dozen people had left the country. ”
"Is all this the lord of the country doing behind his back?" Su Heng frowned.
"The lord of the kingdom is actually the fastest nobleman in the entire Tusheng country. Shi Tuo sighed, "I have been in Shisan City for seven years, and in these seven years, the lord of the country has died twice, but this news is unknown to ordinary people, and it is only circulated in a special aristocratic circle. ”
"Are these nobles the constantly changing lords?" Su Heng looked at Shi Tuo.
"Yes. Shi Tuo nodded, "Every nobleman is looking for a way to slow down the growth of their mandala, but with little success......"
"Especially after becoming the lord of the country, he needs to live in the palace all the time, so the mandala of the lord of the country grows especially fast, basically one in three years. Shi Tuo sighed, "So three years ago, I moved to the outermost city at home, just to slow down the growth of my mandala, but you see ......."
Shi Tuo brushed the hair from his forehead.
"Flower Seal Seven Petals!" Su Heng's pupils shrank sharply.
"Yes, I only feed one drop of blood a day now, and let the slaves feed the rest, but now I still have the seven petals of the flower seal, and my current mandala will bear fruit in a few days......" Shi Tuo sighed.
What Shi Tuo said was completely different from what the common people and slaves outside said, and even the nobles became the most miserable people in the entire Tusheng Kingdom.
"How many nobles are there in the Tusheng Kingdom, and after so many years, shouldn't the nobles have died a long time ago?"
"Have you forgotten? Mandala is constantly evolving, slaves can become commoners, commoners can become nobles, those slaves who desperately want to get rid of slavery, will try to feed their mandalas, so the noble mandala will not be broken, but everyone who becomes a nobleman will be summoned to Shisan, and someone will tell him the responsibility of being a noble mandala, otherwise this country will be in danger......"
Su Heng nodded, he was combing through the information he had learned, this Tusheng country was like being cursed, but it was self-contained, knowing that it was very weird, but he didn't know where to start to break the situation.
"The only one who went out, how do you know that he went out?" Su Heng was silent for a moment and then asked.
Shi Tuo shook his head, "Actually, we can't be sure, but after that person entered the Holy Mountain, it has been five years now, and he is still alive, so we guess that he may have walked out." ”
"How do you know he's still alive?" asked Su Heng.
"This is still the everlasting lamp we asked for from Mount Landa, as long as the everlasting lamp has been on, it means that the person is still alive, after the person entered the holy mountain, although the everlasting lamp is shaking, but in the end it is still burning, indicating that he is still alive. Shi Tuo didn't hide anything.
Su Heng suddenly laughed, "You told me everything, aren't you afraid of what I will do to you?"
"Even if I don't tell you, you'll know. Shi Tuo pointed to the mandala that was still swaying above Su Heng's head, "Your mandala is going to open tonight, you will definitely be a blue mandala, and the people in Shisan City will naturally tell you everything at that time." ”
"Moreover, your cultivation is much stronger than ours back then, and it is very likely that as soon as it blooms, it will be a dark blue mandala, and then you will become a prince......" Shi Tuo smiled a little gloatingly.
Su Heng stood up and shrugged, "Believe me, no one can force me, no matter what kind of prince he is, I have made up my mind for this Tusheng country!"
"This is the millions of people in the Tusheng country, if the lord of the country is broken, soon there will be a large number of mandalas withering, no joke. Shi Tuo shook his head, but he didn't dwell on this, "Brother Su, it's better to stay in Shifu tonight, you still have to pay a little attention to the mandala flowering, otherwise it may be dangerous." ”
"Okay, that's a bother. Su Heng nodded.
......
"Dad, why did you let that person stay here? He slapped me in public!" The news of Su Heng's stay in the Shi Mansion quickly spread throughout the Shi Mansion, and the eldest young master of the Shi family yelled at Shi Tuo.
"You evil beast, you still don't know how to repent, do you know that today you almost brought disaster to the whole family?" Shi Tuoqi's hands were trembling, and he raised his hand to pull it down, but when he saw the five finger marks on his eldest son's face that had not yet disappeared, he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and put his hand down again.
"Anyway, as long as you see that person, you will hide far away, don't provoke him again, otherwise if you are killed, I will not be able to save you." After Shi Tuo finished speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
How could he not be angry? Being scolded at the gate and being threatened to open the door in front of so many people did not make him angry? But what could he do? This person who looked so young that he didn't talk would really kill everyone in a fit of rage, and with that tsunami-like killing intent alone, tens of thousands of people would probably just be a bottom, and he would not dare to gamble.
Time passed slowly, the sun moved westward quickly, and twilight covered the land.
Su Heng was arranged in a quiet small courtyard in Shifu, and Shi Tuo brought dinner with his servants, as well as three demon blood grasses.
"Brother Su eats something first, these three demon blood grasses still have to be prepared first, just in case. Shi Tuo said, "The first time the mandala blooms, it will consume a lot of qi and blood, and Brother Su must be mentally prepared." ”
"Thank you, Master Shi, for ignoring the past suspicions. Su Heng nodded, he was now sitting cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the mandala above his head to bloom.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Shi Tuo said with a smile, waving his hand to let the servant retreat, "Shi Mou is here tonight to protect the Dharma for Brother Su, others are not safe here." ”
"It's fine. Su Heng closed his eyes again, his true qi was constantly circulating in the meridians, he was observing what changes were in his body, as for Shi Tuo, if there was any abnormal movement, he would kill him as soon as possible!
Suddenly, there was a hint of fragrance in the air, which was naturally sweet and not offensive.
Su Heng smelled this fragrance, and his originally slightly nervous mood was actually relieved.
The fragrance became stronger and stronger, and soon filled the entire house, and Shi Tuo also cheered up, he was waiting for what color Su Heng's mandala was.
"It's coming, it's coming soon......"
The mandala on the top of Su Heng's head no longer swayed at will, but instead stood straight, and the two flower touches wrapped around the flower stem seemed to have turned into a bewitching beautiful snake, dancing wantonly in the void, so ghostly.
The true qi in Su Heng's body seemed to have suddenly found its source, and it was uncontrollable and surged above his head like a tide.
"Poof. ”
With a soft sound, Su Heng felt as if his soul had suddenly left his body and kept flying upwards.
Su Wuchang, who was still sleeping in the depths of the Purple Mansion, suddenly opened his eyes,
"Su Heng!"
