The old patriarch knew that he had only a few years to live. In the past ten years, he had relied on extremely precious treasures of heaven and earth to save his life. However, despite this, his body was getting worse day by day, and he was getting older day by day.
.
But he couldn't bear to close his eyes. He didn't see the noble son that the saint said appeared, and he didn't see the blood curse of the Si family being lifted. He refused to close his eyes and had no face to see the saint.
Now, the one predicted by the saint has appeared, and her prediction is right.
Holy lady, you never make mistakes.
The old patriarch wiped the corners of his eyes, his face flushed with excitement.
Si Lengyue advised: "Old patriarch, you are not in good health, so don't get excited. Xixi, can you check his pulse and prescribe a prescription?"
She looked at Qin Liuxi with pleading in her eyes.
The old patriarch waved his hand: "No, this old slave has only a few years to live. If I see that the blood curse is broken, I can go underground to serve the Holy Lady in peace and contentment."
Qin Liuxi said: "If this is the case, then it is even more important to check your pulse. This blood curse does not mean that it can be solved immediately."
When the old patriarch heard this, he said, "Then I'll bother you, noble man."
Qin Liuxi stepped forward and put his fingers on his wrist. After a while, he said, "Old Patriarch, you are in good health. Do you think your muscles and bones were tempered when you were a child?"
The old patriarch nodded, with a look of nostalgia on his face, and said: "When I was a child, the Holy Lady gave me a medicinal bath that strengthened my muscles and bones. I was also empowered by her with the sacrament. I also took the body-building pills made by her. Over the years, I have been doing the same.
I have eaten a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and I have no serious illnesses and few minor illnesses. I just suffered from some wind and cold. This is all thanks to the blessing of the Holy Lady."
Otherwise, how could he live to this fate?
Qin Liuxi looked at Si Lengyue and said: "The old patriarch has no physical illness, but he is old. This man is old. Even if he lives a long life, his body's internal organs will decline with time. There is no cure for old diseases.
"
Si Lengyue's face darkened slightly when she heard this, and her eyes looking at the old patriarch were a little sad.
The old patriarch smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter, no one is immortal. I have lived long enough. If I can see that the blood curse is broken, I will die without regrets. My little master does not need to feel sorry for me."
Si Lengyue nodded.
Qin Liuxi also said: "The old patriarch is right, the most rare thing for a person is to be healthy and live a long life, not deaf or blind, and if he dies without any disease in the future, he has received a great blessing."
The old patriarch was even more happy when he heard this.
Si Lengyue stopped mentioning this and only talked about the opening of the clan land and the sacrifices. The old clan leader said that everything was ready and he could go to the clan land at any time.
Qin Liuxi said: "Then let's go and have a look."
The family land of the Si family is on Yinlou Peak. Over the past hundred years, in order not to disturb the spirits of their ancestors, the Si family has long ago bought Yinlou Peak and the two nearby hills. The five villages along with it all belong to the Si family.
territory.
Qin Liuxi said: "You are not afraid that the imperial court and interested people will swallow up the Si family."
With all the financial resources shown by the Si family and even a jade mine, it can be said that they are very wealthy. However, the Si family has only had an orphaned daughter for generations, so it is natural that people will covet her.
"There are still three nails in the broken ship. Although we no longer practice witchcraft, it does not mean that we have no ability to protect ourselves." Si Lengyue said softly: "We orthodox no longer practice witchcraft, but it can be compared with
One thing is that the shamans closely related to our Si family are distributed all over the country. Another point is that we also have business cooperation with the imperial court and some old-school aristocratic families. My mother, when she was alive, dedicated a gold medal to the Holy Father on his birthday.
The mine was exchanged for a piece of alchemy and an iron deed."
Qin Liuxi staggered and turned to look at her: "Gold mine?"
Si Lengyue nodded. "This is too arrogant. Your mother is very courageous." Qin Liuxi sighed.
Gold mine, anyone who is willing to give it will give it up, but Si Lengyue's mother was willing to give it up.
Qin Liuxi asked in a low voice: "You all have gold mines and jade mines, what else don't you have? Your Si family is as rich as any other country."
Si Lengyue smiled bitterly: "It is not a good thing to be rich and rival the country. As you said, the more things you have, the more people will covet you. Since the time of the late emperor, he has wanted to marry the Si family."
Qinliu
A cold light flashed in Xi's eyes, and he sarcastically said: "Marriage?"
"Yes." Si Lengyue sneered: "It's just because of our short life. Otherwise, my mother would not have given up a gold mine just because the one on the throne wants to take my mother as his concubine."
I understand, it’s just a fake desire to get a concubine, but the goal is still the gold mine.
"and you?"
"Me? Just look at how shameless they are." Si Lengyue looked cold, paused and said...
"The affairs of the royal family are like a bottomless pit. Once there is a beginning, there will be a second and third time. Now that you are sixteen, if you have a suitable son-in-law, you have to make a decision early." Qin Liuxi said.
Si Lengyue said nothing. In the past, she knew that this was the way to go, but now, she didn't want to live according to the way of her ancestors.
Qin Liuxi suddenly felt a heavy burden on her shoulders, like a huge boulder that could not be moved away, and there were countless jackals and wolves around her.
She suddenly stretched out her hand, shook Si Lengyue's hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's hard for others to tell. If it were you, I would definitely be able to protect you. From now on, I will protect you!"
Si Lengyue smiled at her, with stars in his eyes. He couldn't help but shake her hand, and said, "I've been forced to retreat to the clan's territory. Look, we're here."
Qin Liuxi looked up, and a huge cave appeared in front of him. It was made of black iron as the door. On the door were the totems of the witch clan and some complicated incantations, which were simple and solemn.
Si Lengyue first knelt down in front of the mountain gate and murmured something, then stood up and pressed the totem hard to reveal a keyhole inside. Then he and the old patriarch each took a key, combined them into one, and inserted them into the keyhole.
.
Click, click, click, there was a sound of a mechanism, and with a sudden sound, another groove was revealed.
Si Lengyue cut his fingertip and dripped the blood from the fingertip into the groove. After a moment, the groove retreated again, and the mechanism sounded again with a clang.
The black iron gate opens to both sides.
The corners of Qin Liuxi's mouth twitched.
"Please." Si Lengyue wrapped her fingertips with a handkerchief.
Qin Liuxi did not move, but took out a finger-sized bottle from the cloth bag hanging on his waist, took Si Lengyue's hand, opened the bottle cap, and sprinkled the golden sore medicine on the wound.
Her movements were gentle and meticulous, and the blood quickly stopped after the medicine was sprinkled on it.
Si Lengyue looked at her lowered eyebrows and felt a warmth pouring into her normally cold heart, and the corners of her lips raised.
Qin Liuxi wrapped her up with the handkerchief again, then raised his head and said disgustedly: "Your ancestors, what can't you do? Why do you have to use your own blood to open the door under the ban? Isn't it painful to cut your hands?"
This is too stupid. If you want to break the door, I can get in as long as I catch you."
If the ban is imposed, you can use the secret method that is not passed down by direct lineage. You have to use bloodline. What if this bloodline is caught?
The pace has been a bit slow recently, and I'm adjusting the details. Obviously, this is a story that is connected by small units, not a main line. I hope I won't write it down, because I really want to write it well, and my ability
Limitation is my fault. To the children who are limited to this, thank you for supporting me all the way. You can come and go as you please, no need to say goodbye~
