Chapter 255 It's not over yet

"Jiang Xi, Jiang Xi..."

Someone is calling her name?

Jiang Xi slowly opened his eyes, but saw the room full of bright light and birds singing endlessly.

Where is she...?

"Madam! You are finally awake!" Ah Fu rushed up and looked at her with tears in his eyes, "You have been sleeping for three days!"

"Afu." Jiang Xi opened his mouth and found that his throat could not be stopped.

The clever Afu immediately held the teacup and moistened Jiang Xi's lips. After drinking it slowly, he thoughtfully said that Jiang Xi must have been hungry after sleeping for a few days, so she went to the kitchen to make porridge for her.

After saying that, without waiting for the slow Jiang Xi to react, he quickly went out.

Jiang Xi, who was half a beat slow, tilted his head, and his mind was still filled with dull pain, as if he had inexplicably put too much stuff in it, and was inexplicably drained from it, soreness and emptyness, the two feelings were intertwined, which was really not very pleasant for Jiang Xi.

"You're waking up." Lou Chen hurried in and saw Jiang Xi sitting at the head of the bed with his eyes slightly red. "In the past three days, you have been getting fever for a few days and can't take any medicine. I thought you were about to wake up."

Lou Chen simply didn't want to recall. The past three days were definitely the most powerless three days after she woke up and became a witch doctor.

She was just a simple fever, but she tried all her best and was helpless. No precious witch medicine could work for Jiang Xi, so she could only watch and make some simple cold compress to cool down.

"Is I having a fever?" Jiang Xi could not recall anything.

"Well, three days ago, you came back from the underground palace..."

"Yes! Am I in the underground palace?" Jiang Xi suddenly remembered, "I remember I fainted! But how did I come back? And the dark witch of the apostate, he..."

"Don't worry, ask questions one by one." Lou Chen sat down beside her and helped her press the quilt.

Jiang Xi nodded and repeated the first question.

"You not only fainted, but also vomited blood. When you came back, you were seriously injured in your internal organs. You should be affected by the power of the underground palace."

"What about Chu Ji?"

"Crown Prince Chu naturally came back with you, and he also came back fainted, but his injuries were not serious. I came to see you yesterday, but you were just sleeping and not waking up."

"The dark witch that appeared in the underground palace..."

"Hey, since you have seen him, I won't hide it from you. The person you met that day was the leader of the apostate, the master of Youying, and the most powerful dark witch."

When Jiang Xi heard her mention the apostate, he felt deeply hatred and fear in his tone, and guessed that there should be other grudges between Lou Chen and the apostate.

Instead of asking those sensitive ones, she said, "What is this person's identity?"

Lou Chen shook his head and said he was unaware: "No one knows his true identity. His existence among the apostates is like a shadow... Well, the shadow was founded by this person."

"Then, what about the man in white who appeared later? He is the witch of the Jiang clan?"

Lou Chen's eyes suddenly flashed: "Well, he is, but that person lurked in Chang'an all year round in order to investigate Youying, and his identity has always been a mystery."

Seeing that she was dodging her words, Jiang Xi thought that this person was quite special, so he understood and did not ask much.

"Where is that underground palace? I saw that there was a complete blood-calling altar underneath."

Jiang Xi was a little suspicious. Such a large underground palace was mostly built by Shaoyu, the last witch master of the Jiang clan. Could it be that the Jiang clan today had no idea?

Lou Chen sighed long and said, "Originally, this matter was the highest secret in my Jiang clan. Apart from the elders, there were very few people who knew it. But since you entered the underground palace this time, Elder Nansang will let me tell you in a real way - yes, that Jiang clan underground palace was left by the wizard master Shaoyu, and it is also the biggest reliance of my Jiang clan's Taoist guardians now! As you can see, there is a complete blood-calling altar in the underground palace! It is also it that supports us to lose in the sacred mountain, and the bloodline of the sacred witch will not be completely cut off!"

"Isn't this altar the one on the sacred mountain? But the blood-calling altar is unique, how could it be..." Jiang Xi looked shocked.

"The blood-calling altar in the underground palace is just a imitation. It does not have the power of the blood-calling altar in its complete power, because it was transformed by the Shaoyu Witch Lord with all his strength."

"What?"

"The witch Master Shaoyu was unpredictable. He had already predicted the difficulties of the Jiang clan a thousand years ago. After helping the founding emperor of the previous dynasty to establish the Great Zhou Dynasty, his only request was to build an underground palace underground in Chang'an. Then he ordered the witch craftsman to cast an altar and pour it into it with all his strength. This is the real reason why the witch Master Shaoyu refused to take the recruitment of the Great Zhou emperor and left. After losing all his strength, he quickly aged and died suddenly on the throne shortly after returning to the sacred mountain."

The departure of Shaoyu's witch master was the beginning of all dark history such as the turbulent and division of the Jiang clan for thousands of years.

As a member of the Jiang clan, Lou Chen couldn't help but burst into tears when he said this.

Jiang Xi was stunned and exuded his deity.

She thought of what her grandfather said to her in person before her relatives sacrificed her flesh and blood.

Grandpa said that everything is not over yet.

They opened a star path for her with the Zhoutian star plate and came to the world of Dayun. Is it really just to let her stay in a different place, or is it that it is not intentional?

Jiang Xi couldn't help looking down at her hands. The lines on her palms were complicated, just like her messy fate, and she couldn't see the roots and directions clearly.

The Jiang clan was dead in his previous life, where is the Jiang clan of Dayun?

"I want to see Chu Ji."

Lou Chen, who was immersed in sadness, unexpectedly said, "...what?"

"Mr. Lou Chen, I have something important to see Chu Ji!" Jiang Xi couldn't wait to lift the quilt and wanted to turn over and get out of bed. Who knew that as soon as she stepped on the ground, her body was sore and weak that she couldn't control her from falling forward.

Lou Chen held her in time.

"You have just woken up and your health has not recovered. You have to recuperate for a few days." Seeing Jiang Xi eagerly trying to say something, Lou Chen patted her shoulder comfortably, "When the Prince of Yongcheng came to visit yesterday, he said specifically that if you wake up, you should notify him immediately. I believe he will come here in person after receiving the news."

"Okay." Jiang Xi had no choice but to respond.

Ah Fu's porridge was just cooked and brought it to Jiang Xi for drinking.

As Lou Chen ordered, he added a few herbs to the porridge. After eating, Jiang Xi was sleepy and leaned against the head of the bed for a while, but was awakened by the sound of the sound outside the door.

She opened her eyes hazy: "Is anyone here?"

Afu, who was guarding the bedside, shook his head blankly: "No one is coming."

Jiang Xi glanced at the closed door: "Mr. Lou Chen seems to be saying that I'm asleep, go and have a look at the door."

Afu obediently said, ran to the door quickly, opened a crack in the door and looked out quietly.

"Hey, someone is really here. Mr. Lou Chen is talking to them!" Ah Fu said in surprise and looked at Jiang Xi in great admiration, "Madam, how did you know?"

"Of course I heard it..." Jiang Xi was stunned after saying that.

Yes, how did she hear it?

Jiang Xi gathered his mind and after Afu opened the door a crack, the sound outside became clearer.

It seems to be Ye Zheng and Qi Wu?

"Is it because when I was in the underground palace, I experienced the chessboard and the illusion of mountains, rivers, and my body changed?" Jiang Xi murmured to himself, but always felt that things would not be that simple.

Jiang Xi was confused for a moment and could only ask Afu to help her change her clothes first.

She was wearing close-fitting clothes when she was sleeping, so she had to fix it so that she would not see Ye Zheng and Qi Wulu's identities.

Afu was quick-witted and helped Jiang Xi change her clothes, and even comb her hair.

"They all thought you were still in Jiangnan and you were not inconvenient to show up, so just stay in the house."

Ah Fu said yes twice.

After taking a nap, Jiang Xi got out of bed and walked was not a problem, but he felt particularly weak after walking for two steps.

She slowly walked to the door and opened the wooden door.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Xi's weak voice attracted the attention of the three people in the yard.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Lou Chen walked quickly.

"I have been sleeping for three days, so how can I still sleep?" Jiang Xi said a playful word to calm Mr. Lou Chen's concern for her body. Then she looked at Ye Zhengqiwu and the others who were walking happily, "Why did you two come together?"

"The Ministry of Justice has been very busy recently. I was sent to the King of Wei to do odd jobs. Everyone happened to talk about your injury, so let's see you together." Qi Wu said.

How could Qiwu know that she was injured?

Jiang Xi paused hesitantly.

Ye Zheng explained clearly: "You should be injured and don't remember what happened. That day, you took a carriage to Ning Mansion as a guest, but you were accidentally targeted by the evil people, led Qi Wu away, and kidnapped you and A Ji, causing you to be seriously injured and lie down for a few days. Alas, I'm also blamed for this matter. If I hadn't involved you in that case, why would you be targeted by those extremely vicious people?"

Could those extremely vicious people be talking about the old coachman?

Ye Zheng said guiltily: "Fortunately, Atractylodes came back in time to report the news, and your uncle rescued the two of you together with someone. Humph, the old coachman died so easily. The old devil who used innocent lives to practice evil skills should be cut into pieces!"

Jiang Xi slowly understood it - Ye Zheng meant that the old coachman not only became the culprit of kidnapping her and Chu Ji, but was also designated as the real culprit of the series of murders of a girl in Chang'an?

There is no doubt about the former, but the latter... is not right.

The old coachman is a dark witch and doesn't have to practice any evil skills at all. Those who use the blood of innocent girls to practice evil skills should be people outside the Jiang clan!

Jiang Xi subconsciously looked at Lou Chen, but saw Lou Chen nodding to her silently.

Jiang Xi suppressed his doubts and exchanged a few more greetings with Ye Zhengqiwu.

"You are still recuperating when you are injured, so we won't keep much. This case is being closed recently, and there are still a lot of cumbersome evidence to be sorted out. After we have been busy with this period, we will get together again."
