On March 21, the 15th year of Xiantong, there were two days left before the Dragon Girl Temple held the sea ceremony.
The Dragon Girl Temple in Yudu Town is instructing the townspeople to make Kowloon lanterns. The so-called Kowloon lanterns are lanterns covered with nine sides of rice paper, with different dragons and beasts drawn on each side of the paper.
The so-called dragon gave birth to nine sons, which means that the ancient dragon god gave birth to nine dragon sons: Bi Xi, Jiao Tu, Qi Niu, Chaofeng, Pulao, Suanni, Bifan, Negi Xi, and Yasui, and each dragon gave birth to nine sons.
Their appearance and personality are all different.
Just when the temple blessing was explaining to the townspeople how to get the portraits of the nine dragons, a flying sword suddenly fell from the sky, chopped the temple blessing into several pieces, and then flew away again.
The Dragon Girl Temple Zhu in Lianchi Town suffered a murderous attack while leading believers to decorate Zhushan Mountain.
On that day, the entire town of Lianchi Town was busy in the square in front of the Dragon Girl Temple. The so-called candle mountains are racks of different heights made of iron or wood. At a certain distance between the racks, bamboo poles are installed.
Clip for holding candles.
When it comes to worshiping the sea day, male and female believers will each offer dragon and phoenix candles, and remember the positions of the candles. When the dragon and phoenix candles are burned to only one or two inches, they will extinguish the fire and take it home to continue lighting it.
A sign of auspiciousness is coming, and peace will come throughout the year.
But before it was time to offer candles on the day of offering sacrifices to the sea, the temple blessings were chopped into pulp by frog thieves who came from nowhere. There was nothing that could be done about this Zhushan!
In the next two days, similar cases continued to occur. Finally, on the day of the sea sacrifice, the murderer suddenly disappeared without a trace.
On this day, a handsome young man suddenly came to the door of Yu Mansion in Yudu Town. He claimed that he was the illegitimate son of the Yu family who had been living abroad, and now he came to recognize his ancestors!
After hearing the shocking news from the concierge, the housekeeper quickly personally received the handsome young man who came to his door, and then hurriedly ran to contact the head of the Yu family, the old mayor Yuchang.
Wu Qiudao was sitting in the side hall of the Yu family, drinking tea, and slowly waiting for the subsequent development of the matter. At this time, he had not yet thought clearly about how he should deal with the previous relationship of the original body if the Yu family was really his relatives.
You can take one step at a time.
After sitting for a long time, even the stool under his butt was heated from sitting, and then the housekeeper led a beautiful young man out. Really, Wu Qiudao could only use the word "beautiful" to describe the boy. This is a bit like filtering
The Internet celebrities who were watching the live broadcast walked up to the scene, and there was a surreal beauty.
Wu Qiudao touched his face, feeling that this was the first time in this world that he had met an opponent who could compete with him in beauty!
The beautiful young man hesitated for a moment and then said, "You said you are of the Yu family's bloodline. What evidence is there?"
Wu Qiudao let go of the hand touching his face and looked at the other person firmly: "You can identify it! I have no problem!"
The handsome young man snorted and said, "Of course we need to get tested! Are cats and dogs coming to our door, and our Yu family will also accept them?"
Before coming here, Wu Qiudao had researched ways to identify relatives in this life. Without the help of blood type and genetic technology, people still used the unreliable "bone dripping method" and "blood combining method" at this time.
The so-called "blood fusion method" is to take a small drop of the blood of two people and put it into a bowl of water. As the saying goes, "those whose blood is compatible are relatives." If they cannot fuse, they are not blood relatives.
As for the "bone dripping method", it means dripping blood on the bones of relatives. If the blood penetrates into the bones, they are close relatives. As early as the Three Kingdoms, there were examples of dripping bones to recognize relatives because "relatives are connected by blood".
The identity of Xiao Zong, the prince of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasties, is questionable. His mother Wu Shuyuan was originally the concubine of Emperor Donghun Hou Xiao Baojuan of Southern Qi, but she was kidnapped by Emperor Wu of Liang. She gave birth to Xiao Zong in the seventh month after entering the palace, so Xiao Zong was always present in the palace.
There are rumors that he is not the biological son of Emperor Wu of Liang.
You must know that after Lu Buwei dedicated Zhao Ji to a foreigner, Zhao Ji gave birth to his son Ying Zheng ten months later. The full-term pregnancy still caused people to have different opinions about the identity of Ying Zheng's biological father. What's more, in Xiao Zong's situation, if she gave birth in July, then
But a proper premature baby!
When Xiao Zong grew up, he was always worried about his identity, so he robbed the tomb of Donghun Hou, dug out the bones, and dripped his own blood on the bones. It actually penetrated into the bones!
He was dubious, so he killed his biological son and tried again, but the blood still seeped into the bones. Only then was he convinced that the bone dripping method was true! So Xiao Zong defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty and changed his name to Xiao Zuan. Zuan means "inheritance".
He also served three years of mourning for the Marquis of Donghun.
It can be seen from this that the "bone dripping method" and the "blood combining method" were highly believed by people in ancient times.
It's a pity that Wu Qiudao didn't see anyone take out a bone. Instead, the housekeeper personally took a bowl of water and asked the beautiful young man to cut his finger to get a drop of blood, and then brought the bowl to Wu Qiudao.
Wu Qiudao took the dagger and asked: "Who is he? If he is a bastard born to the fish family's daughter-in-law who stole from a man, wouldn't it be too unfair if I fail the blood test?"
Before the results came out, the housekeeper did not dare to offend either side and quickly explained: "Young Master Yu Wenfang is the master's biological son in his later years. Madam... is not an ordinary person, so there can be no mistake! If the young master is really a descendant of the Yu family living outside,
Speaking of which, the young master of the study should be your uncle!"
The handsome young man who was originally arrogant was obviously very proud of his identity as a member of the Yu family. Hearing Wu Qiudao's slanderous words, he became angry and said: "You bitch is a bastard! If I talk to
Your combined blood is a big joke!"
Wu Qiudao smiled: "Then let's wait and see!"
Regardless of the bone-dropping method, the blood-combination method can actually roughly determine whether both parties have the same blood type, which makes sense. However, blood type is a bit complicated. The blood types of biological parents and children are not necessarily the same, let alone uncles and nephews?
Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, Wu Qiudao, who did not believe in the usefulness of the blood combining method, directly secretly performed the Xiaozhu Rong method, adding a little fire energy to the blood. Under the influence of heat, the two drops of blood quickly merged into one and condensed into one.
group.
The two were ignorant of magic and could only use dragon energy to cast the Four-Handed Dharani spell. Xiaobai didn't realize that Wu Qiudao had added any ingredients to the blood. They all thought that dripping blood to identify relatives was really a way to recognize the person.
Already.
Wu Qiudao breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head and asked, "How is it? Which one of us is the bastard? Or are we both bastards?"
"Huh!" Yu Wenfang, who couldn't argue with Wu Qiudao, turned around and left in anger.
The real head of the Yu family, Yuchang, quickly came out in person. When he saw Wu Qiudao's face, he looked at it carefully for a long time, and said in his mouth: "It looks like! It's so similar!"
Wu Qiudao asked inquiringly: "Who does it look like?"
"A son is like his mother, and a daughter is like his father. Not only are you very similar to your mother, you are also very similar to me when I was a child!" After saying that, Yuchang grabbed Wu Qiudao and hugged him very tightly.
Wu Qiudao endured the strong smell of fish and asked: "So... what does my mother look like? Is there a portrait or something?"
Yuchang was stunned: "Why do you need a portrait? Wouldn't it be better if you went to meet her in person?"
