snow god

Chapter 22

After everyone left, Zi Shen looked at Zi Yunqi and said, "Go and change your clothes."

Ziyun nodded, took the robe from Zimingshen's hand, and entered the room.

Zishen looked at Ziyun's back, and sighed deeply. He put on this fancy dress with full of hope at the beginning, but later he realized that it was not a fancy dress, it was a prison uniform.

Zi Ming listened deeply to Zi Shen's sigh, and said: "This is his own choice and no one can blame him."

"My own choice?" Zi Shen snorted coldly, and the dissatisfaction in his heart burst out instantly, "This is obviously a..." Before he could finish speaking, Zi Yunqi, who was dressed in purple and gorgeous clothes, came out of the room , Immediately shut down.

Zi Yunqi was a little puzzled, what was he arguing about just now?Asked: "What's wrong?"

Zishen said: "It's okay, let's go to Buxitang."

The Buxi Hall is a place where only patriarchs can set foot. Zi Mingshen can't go there. The clothes have been delivered and the task has been completed. After saying that, he turned and went back home.

Zi Yunqi felt very uneasy, his long-cherished wish was finally realized today, and he felt a little unreal for a while, could he really see Snow God?Yes, definitely can.

The Zi Clan's Endless Hall is just a small room, sealed tightly around it, leaving only one door with a big heavy lock on it, Zi Shen took out the key and opened the door, Zi Yunqi followed Zi Shen walked in, there was light in the room, it was a huge luminous bead, illuminating the room like daytime, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a desk against the wall, and there was a delicate small box on the table, the box was very beautiful. High, can't see what's inside.The room was very quiet, only the footsteps of the two of them, Ziyun stared at the box intently, it must contain the power of Snow God.Holding your breath and approaching, the box contained a transparent bead.

Zishen also looked at the beads in the box, took them out, handed them to Ziyunqi, and said, "Yunqi, take it."

Zi Yunqi hastily stretched out his hand, held it carefully in his hand, and was about to ask what to do, when Zi Shen took out a thin needle and pricked his index finger, "Patriarch, what is this?"

Zishen squeezed a drop of blood onto the bead, and a multicolored glow flashed by.Zishen took the bead from Ziyunqi's hand, handed him the needle, and said, "You also put a drop of blood on it."

Zi Yunqi didn't hesitate, and immediately pricked his index finger, dripping a drop of blood on the bead, just like before, a multicolored glow flashed by, and disappeared in an instant.Ziyun thought secretly, he really has supernatural power.

The handover ceremony was completed, Zishen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "Yun Qi, you are now the patriarch of our clan, and it's time to tell you about the patriarch and Buxitang."

Ziyunqi's heart was beating endlessly, he looked at Zishen nervously, and said: "You say"

Zishen said: "The patriarch changes every 20 years. For 20 years, the patriarch is not allowed to go out without reason. He has to guard Ziyuan day and night, and Ziyuan cannot allow people to enter or leave without reason, and cannot allow people to stay overnight."

Ziyun nodded, this matter has already been spread, and everyone in the clan knows it.

"The patriarch has only one mission, and that is to protect the power of the Snow God in the Endless Hall."

Zi Yunqi nodded again, everyone in the clan knew about it, and he knew it since he was a child, so he wanted to become the clan leader.

Zishen put the bead back into the box, and watched it lying quietly in the box as before, as if it never left, but he didn't know how many people's blood was inside.After a while, he said: "It is said that this is a bead filled with divine power."

legend?Zi Yunqi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Why is it a legend?"

Zi Shen looked at Zi Yunqi and said, "Because there is no divine power in it now."

"Are you joking?" Zi Yunqi's heart sank for a moment, but he still didn't want to believe it. After all, everyone in the clan knew about divine power, and it had existed for hundreds of years. If it didn't exist, there wouldn't be any news leaked.

With a serious face, Zishen said, "It's unbelievable, but the fact is, it may have happened before, but I don't know how long it has been."

A burst of anger suddenly rose in Zi Yunqi's heart, and he said: "Then what are you protecting?" After finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait," Zishen looked at Ziyunqi who was about to leave, and hurriedly said, "The divine power is gone, but there is a curse inside, if you leave, you will suffer backlash."

"Curse?" Zi Yunqi was startled, turned around and stared straight at Zi Shen, "Patriarch, what is going on?"

Zi Shen shook his head, and said: "I don't know exactly what happened, I just know that blood is a contract, and it must be terminated after 20 years, when the next patriarch has blood."

"What if I insist on leaving?" Zi Yunqi was furious in his heart, this was clearly a fraud, what would he want the position of patriarch without divine power?

Zi Shen shook his head, "No, if you violate the agreement, you will die suddenly."

"What?" Zi Yunqi's heart suddenly fell to the bottom, how could it be like this?

Zishen looked at the astonished Ziyunqi, recalled himself back then, and couldn't help feeling compassionate, so he couldn't help but say a few more words, "Yunqi, the matter of divine power is passed down from generation to generation among the patriarchs. Do not speak out"

"Are you going to lie to others to come here?" Zi Yunqi's heart was icy cold, 20 years, the most precious years of his life, did he really want to spend them in this lonely courtyard?

Zishen sighed, "Divine power is the belief of the people in the clan, and it must never be lost." After speaking, he patted Ziyunqi on the shoulder and left the Buxitang.

Walking out of Ziyuan, a woman was waiting outside the door. Seeing the person coming, she smiled and said, "Master, let's go home."

Zishen looked sideways at Ziyuan, after 20 years, she was finally freed.Then he walked up quickly, held the woman's hand, said with a smile: "Okay", and left without looking back.

The three of Nangong Xun waited until midnight, but they didn't see Ziyun come back.Lan Yu couldn't sit still anymore, and said, "No, I have to go and have a look."

Seeing that the moon had already set in the west, Nangong said, "Let's go tomorrow."

Lan Yu was very worried, even if the person didn't come back, she still had to deliver a letter, but now there is no news at all, will things go wrong?He said, "I can't sleep anyway, so I'd better go and have a look."

A Xue thought for a while and said, "Brother Xun, let's go and have a look too."

Nangong Xun looked at the two of them and said, "Well, let's go now."

After finishing speaking, the three of them hurried towards Ziyuan without delay.As soon as they went out, they realized that it had started snowing again at some point, and the snow was flying heavily. After a while, all three of them were covered with snowflakes.Nangong Xun thought it would be very cold, but he didn't expect to feel it at all, his hands were not cold, his feet were not cold, his body didn't feel cold, and the cold wind blowing on his face was not bone-piercing.Can't help but be surprised, what the hell is going on?But you can't ask in front of Sapphire, that's all, let's find some time to ask A Xue in the future.

Lan Yu was worried about Zi Yunqi in her heart, so she walked very fast all the way, Nangong Xun and A Xue naturally followed Lan Yu closely.After a while, they arrived at Ziyuan, but they saw two snow servants still standing at the door from a distance, they stopped immediately, and hurriedly turned into a small alley, Lan Yu asked, "What should we do now, over the wall?"

Nangong Xun shook his head, "Not right", Ziyuan's wall is much higher than normal walls, standing under the wall can't even touch the roof, let alone climb over it.

"Then what should I do?" Looking at the maid at the door, Lan Yu became even more worried. When she came here before, there was never a maid guarding the door.

Nangong Xun frowned, and a bad premonition arose in his heart, something must have happened, he really had to go in and have a look, after thinking about it, he said: "The only thing is to lure the maid at the door away."

"How?" Asked Ashue.

Lan Yu hesitated, "Throw some snow cubes over there?"

Nangong Xun nodded, he could have a try, so the three of them each picked up a large snow block and threw it to the side vigorously, the snow block was scattered as soon as it hit the ground, everything was quiet, the sound was very clear, the three People sneaked out their heads to look, and the two Xuemai stood at the door, not to mention leaving, they didn't even move their feet.The three of them sighed silently, and stood back in the alley.

This plan doesn't work, so I can only think of a way, Nangong Xun lowered his eyes, hey, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind, he suddenly had an idea, when he looked up and saw two people staring at him, he asked: "What's wrong?

The two asked in unison: Ah Xun, brother Xun, do you have an idea?

So you didn't even think about it?Nangong Xun nodded and said: "Come here with your ears", after whispering for a while, the three of them looked at each other, and walked out of the alley tacitly, towards the gate.

When they reached the door, Maid Xue took a step forward and said to the three of them: "Ziyuan is not allowed to enter if there is nothing to do, please go back."

Nangong Xun looked anxious, and said: "There is an accident in Zi's family, and I need to see the patriarch urgently."

"Zi Lao?" Xue Maid didn't believe it. Although the faces of the three were anxious, how could Zi Lao let a foreigner come here?

Seeing that Xue Maid didn't believe Lan Yu, she was really anxious, she thought quickly and said: There is something wrong with the clothes that Mr. Zi sent, why don't you hurry up and take a look.

Although Xue Maid had doubts, but this matter was related to the patriarch and Zi Lao, both of whom were of vital importance, so she didn't dare to delay, and hurried in.

But this one went in, and there was another one at the door, Nangong Xun thought a little bit, and said: "Zi Lao hurriedly made a new dress, you should send someone to get it."

When Xue Mai heard this, she didn't doubt that there was him, but Ziyuan never had any extra people, so she said: "There is no one else in Ziyuan, I wonder if I could invite some of you to come."

After Nangong Xun listened, he smiled secretly in his heart, God helped me, but on the face he was extremely embarrassed, and said: "It's not that we don't want to, it's that the patriarch's new clothes, Zi Lao said that people from other clans can't touch them."

When Xue Mai thought about it, it made sense, and said: "Then I'll go when he comes out."

That's okay, Nangong Xun said: "Zi Lao said, we must hurry up and do this before dawn. The word has been delivered, and we should go back." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

Axue naturally followed. Although Lan Yu didn't know why, she also knew that Nangong Xun must have a way, so she also followed.

Seeing that the three of them had left, Xue Maid saw that the traces of the sky were faintly white, and there was no one on the street, so she thought it should be all right, so she hurried to Zi's home.

The three people hiding in the alley looked at each other and smiled, and while the maid was walking away, they hurried into Ziyuan, it was pitch black, and saw a luminous bead coming towards them from a distance, the three of them hurriedly hid behind the snow sculpture beside it .After a while, Xuemai walked in, muttering: "I really don't understand, how could this happen?", the three of them clung to the snow sculpture, not daring to breathe, but fortunately, Xuemai walked quickly, and left in a short while Go outside and close the door.

After Xuemai passed by, the three people slowly came out from behind the snow sculpture, and immediately headed towards the direction that Xuemai came over just now. Along the way, Lan Yu was deeply concerned about what Xuemai had said just now, with a worried expression on her face. He asked in a loud voice, "Is something really wrong with Yun Qi?"

Axue comforted: "Probably not, if something happens, it will definitely not be so calm."

Not long after walking, they saw a room with light in the darkness, the three of them were overjoyed, Lan Yu hurried over, pushed the door open, and saw Ziyun wearing a light purple inner coat , sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a bead in his hand, with his face down, unable to see clearly, he hurried over and said, "Yun Qi, what happened?"

Zi Yunqi raised his head, looked at Lan Yu in front of him, with a bitter expression on his face, and said: "Ayu, there is no snow god's power in Buxitang at all."

Nangong Xun and A Xue who had just entered the door were also shocked when they heard Ziyunqi's words, and quickly asked, "Why is this happening?"

Zi Yunqi shook his head, he also needs someone to tell him, how could this happen?I closed my eyes exhaustedly, and the hope of more than ten years disappeared like this.

Lan Yu looked at Zi Yunqi's lost soul, felt a sharp pain in his heart, and quickly said: "Yun Qi, don't be disappointed, we are thinking of other ways."

A Xue also felt a little uncomfortable, and quickly echoed: "Yes, we are thinking of other ways."

Nan Gongxun noticed that the beads on Zi Yunqi's hands were not for lighting. He looked at the furnishings in the room, and a desk was the most conspicuous. He stepped forward and saw a square ice cube on it. It looks like a box, and it is exquisitely carved. Nangong Xun took a closer look, and there is a snow fox carved on all sides of the outside. bead.

At this time, Ziyunqi also cheered up under the comfort of Lanyu and Axue. Seeing Nangongxun looking at the box on the table, he explained: "That is for this bead."

Nangong Xun turned his head, looked at the ordinary beads lying on Ziyunqi's palms, and asked, "This is it?"

"It used to be filled with the power of the Snow God." Zi Yunqi put the beads into the box, just enough to fit in.

Nangong picked up the bead and looked at it. Lan Yu and A Xue also came over and stared at the bead carefully. This ordinary appearance really doesn't seem to have supernatural power. Lan Yu asked uncertainly: "Is it true?" Didn't you take it wrong?"

Ziyun shook his head.

A Xue said: "It should be it." Seeing that there is nothing more similar to it in this room.

Nangong Xun asked: "Before?"

Zi Yunqi is not sure now, but there has always been a saying about divine power in the clan, it should be impossible that it did not exist, but where did this divine power go?

Before the discussion came to a conclusion, I heard Xuemaid's anxious voice outside the door, "Patriarch, are you okay?"

The three of Nangong Xun knew that it was Xue Mai who came back from Zi's hometown, and they fell silent for a moment, Zi Yunqi replied calmly: "It's okay."

"Then." Xue Maid asked hesitantly, "Did someone break in?"

"Aren't you guarding the door? Did someone come in and ask me?" Ziyun said angrily.

"But..." There was no sound in the middle of the conversation, and only another Xuemai continued, "What the patriarch said is that the night is over, we came here to ask, do we still need to guard the gate?"

According to the rules of the clan, guarding the gate is only required on the first day and night of taking over as the patriarch.There are only two servants in Ziyuan at present, if they don't guard the gate, they will have to do chores in the garden, and if they want to check their divine power, naturally no one is the best, so they said: "Go and guard."

"Yes"

The author has something to say:
