Tang riddles

Tonight's action was canceled temporarily, and the brothers of Qianyumen were a little at a loss. The six brothers who were originally planning to participate in the action were just sitting around the back hall drinking, and they didn't know whether they should breathe a sigh of relief or blame the sect master for the temporary delay. Change their minds so that they seem to have been tricked.Feng Zijian felt something was wrong, and kept lingering at the entrance of the back hall, with his hands behind his back and his thick eyebrows furrowed.The head of the sect would rarely do such a temporary change of mind, and the arrival of Yizheng seemed to have brought some terrible news, so that the head of the sect and Yizheng are now talking behind closed doors in the side room.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly saw a carriage with a familiar shape coming in from the back door. The female servant who drove the carriage jumped out of the carriage, opened the back panel of the carriage, and pushed a young man in a wheelchair down.

Feng Zijian opened his mouth and rushed to meet him.

……

In the side room, Shen Sui leaned back in a legless armchair, his face covered in his palms.She sighed deeply, rubbed her cheeks, and looked up.Yi Yan beside her was sitting upright, seeing her raised her head, she cast a questioning look.

Shen Sui said: "I'm much better, please tell me."

Yiyan took out a leather booklet from her bosom, handed it to the desk in front of Shen Sui, and said:

"This is a notebook handed down by the ancestors of the Yi family to describe the secrets of the Yin and Yi families. It was compiled by the 130th and sixth generation ancestors of the Yi family after the Yin and Yi families came out of the mountains during the Southern Liang Dynasty. It has been handed down in 210. Take a look first."

Shen Sui was terrified when she heard the numbers reported by her mother. With trembling hands, she slowly opened the sheepskin book. On the old leather, there were carefully carved characters, all of which were complicated small seal scripts, which gave people a headache.

[The Yi family has been handed down from ancient times to my generation, and it has been 130 and six generations.The family of the blood of the ancient gods was handed down from generation to generation, and only my lord, the Yin family, survived.Yin and Yi went into hiding in Shu from the Yin and Shang Dynasties. They don't know their age.Alas, sundials are accumulating in the vast expanse of time, and the vicissitudes of life, even the blood of the gods, is only a passerby of a hundred generations.Feeling the changes and vicissitudes of the world, fearing that our family will be unable to stand up, I write this note to warn future generations...]

While Shen Sui flipped through the pages, she listened to Yiyan tell her:

"Ancestors recorded that the Yin family was passed down by the blood of the ancient Luanhuang. According to legend, in ancient times, the whole world was a different scene. The human race was weak and rare, but there were all kinds of powerful creatures entrenched. Later, due to the drastic changes in the world, thousands of miles were frozen. The powerful creatures are almost all extinct. Everything in the world has changed and changed since then, and it has become another look. The human race has survived in the ice and snow, and has also experienced extremely cruel tests. There are some special people who lead the development of the human race. They are passed down from generation to generation. They all have the blood of the gods and have extraordinary abilities. The three emperors and five emperors were the leaders of the tribes of the gods with extraordinary abilities at that time. When the human race first developed, there were many tribes. Unlike now, father and son, monarchs and ministers successively recognized ancestors. At that time, ancestors were recognized by matrilineal blood. The Luanhuang family is one of them. The first ancestor recorded on the Yin family tree is a female leader named Qiongsang, the leader of the largest tribe in Dongyi. Later, the Yellow Emperor conquered the world, and Qiongsang married the Yellow Emperor , gave birth to a son named Shaohao. Shaohao named Yin, and the Luanhuang clan officially confirmed the surname 'Yin', and took the phoenix as the tribal totem."

Yishen paused, took a sip of tea, and let Shen Sui digest the message she just said.After a while, she opened her mouth and continued:

"Actually, the Yin family is not just from Luanhuang's bloodline. Luanhuang only refers to the mystical bloodline passed down by Qiongsang."

"What do you mean?" Shen Sui asked.

"Qiangsang's bloodline is extraordinary. Although she is a woman, her blood can conceive a woman and give birth to the next generation. People with Luanhuang's bloodline have extraordinary physical fitness, are strong and disease-free. The source of this bloodline is no longer traceable. The first recorded owner of the Luanhuang bloodline. She has three husbands, five wives, nine sons, and thirteen daughters, of which three sons and five daughters have the Luanhuang bloodline. The powerful bloodline ability makes her Her tribe is extremely prosperous. You see, among her children, eight have the blood of Luanhuang, but there are fourteen who don't. These fourteen are also descendants of the Yin family, aren't they?"

"Xiaoniang... you mean, the owner of the Luanhuang bloodline can choose to marry a man or a woman, no matter what gender the partner is, they can have children. But the bloodline successors among the children are limited Yes, is it?"

"Yes, but not quite right. What you said is only the case of female Luanhuang bloodline successors, but there are actually male and female Luanhuang bloodline successors. Among them, female Luanhuang bloodline successors are particularly special. Their blood can To make a woman pregnant. Regardless of whether the bloodline heir is a man or a woman, whether you are pregnant by yourself or let someone else become pregnant, the first child is often the successor of the Luanhuang bloodline. Because when you are pregnant with the first child, you often consume a lot of energy. The first child is also extremely difficult. The second and third child, the ability of blood inheritance will become weaker and weaker. The more children are born, the greater the consumption, and the later the child, the weaker the blood. It’s also very costly to me.”

She stared into Shen Sui's eyes and said: "God has a reason for a man and a woman to combine to reproduce offspring. This way is the least costly and the most efficient. Girls give birth, it can be said to be a path on the side of a smooth road , It is extremely difficult to go up, although it is not impossible, but it has to pay a higher price than male and female reproduction. After giving birth to a child, you will consume at least 30 years of life, and your physical ability is not as good as before. Originally, the successor of the Luanhuang bloodline The lifespan can reach 150 years or even longer, but if you want to reproduce the next generation, the lifespan will be greatly reduced. The stronger your child is, the more lifespan you will lose, sometimes even when you give birth to a child. Die directly."

She sighed and said: "So, this is the reason why the descendants of the Yin family are so difficult."

Shen Sui's lips trembled involuntarily, she took a deep breath and said:

"The lotus maid... will she lose her life?"

"No, she is pregnant with this child, but it will strengthen her physique, and even cure her many stubborn diseases, even congenital diseases. But you will shorten your life, because you are a bloodline heir."

A smile appeared on Shen Sui's pale cheeks: "That's good."

This silly boy... Tears rolled in his eyes.

She cleared her throat, suppressed her tears and said, "Luanhuang, phoenix is ​​yin, phoenix is ​​yang, and phoenix represents women. The blood of Luanhuang actually refers to the special characteristics of female members of this bloodline. The bloodline of Luanhuang It is a special bloodline branch of the Phoenix Yin family. However, male heirs are not so difficult in terms of offspring. Although their births will also shorten their lifespan, after all, they are a combination of a man and a woman, so it will be much easier. Even so, their fertility is also than the average male.

Akashi, the Yin family has been handed down for nearly 3000 years. Not all female ancestors are female-female couples to reproduce offspring. On the contrary, very few people choose this path.Most of them choose their son-in-law to marry and give birth to offspring.In the beginning, the world was full of aura, and there were many bloodline owners.But three and five hundred years later, since entering the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the aura of heaven and earth has been greatly reduced, bloodline owners have plummeted, Dongyi has gradually declined, and the Yin family has also gradually declined.From the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, there were frequent battles, and the Dongyi people were torn apart, and most of them were scattered in various places.The Yin family of Luanhuang fled away. In order to protect this precious blood, they left their hometown, traveled long distances, and moved to the mountains in the southwest.Finally, he lived in seclusion in the mountains of Shu. This seclusion lasted for more than 500 years.By the time Nanliang came out of the mountain, the Luanhuang Yin family had almost become a single bloodline, and sometimes even a few generations of people would have a Luanhuang bloodline.Before your father was born, no matter whether it was your grandfather, great-grandfather or great-great-grandfather, they were not the heirs of the Luanhuang bloodline. It took three generations to wait for your father. "

"Father..." Shen Sui called out the title in a daze. After a while, she lowered her head and asked:

"So when did the Yi family become Yin's family doctor? Why did the ancestors choose to leave the mountains where they had lived in seclusion for more than 2000 years and blend into the world of mortals during the Southern Liang Dynasty?"

"The ancestors of the Yi family were originally a small tribe of the Dongyi tribe. They survived because of the powerful witch doctors. Later, we merged with the Yin family of Luanhuang, and we became the witch doctors of the Yin family. The mystery of the blood of the Yin family, we started from the very beginning. It was mastered in the early days, and has been responsible for the health of members of the Yin family. The Yin and Yi families have been married many times, and they have long been indistinguishable from each other. Later, when they entered Shu, the two families never left. But this will bring about a problem It may not be a problem for the Yin and Yi families to marry within three generations, but if it takes a long time, almost all of them will become consanguineous marriages. This is not only an ethical problem, but also extremely harmful to the prenatal and postnatal care of blood. He made a plan, let the young men and women of the Yin and Yi families who have reached the age of sixteen go out to travel in the mountains after the coming-of-age ceremony, and it is best to find a suitable partner to marry. If they can be trusted, they will bring the marriage partner back to the clan. If you can give birth to a child, try to send the child back to the clan, and if you don't want to, don't force it. Therefore, although the Yin and Yi families have lived in seclusion in the mountains for more than two thousand years, they are not completely isolated from the world. The method is also barely able to maintain the normal inheritance of the blood. However, every year, some children go out and never come back.

After working so hard until the Nanliang period, the survival of self-cultivation and self-cultivation could no longer be maintained.At that time, the heads of the two families and several elders decided that they could no longer be closed in this way, and had to go out of the mountains and live outside.At that time, something happened that made it necessary to go out of the mountain. "

"What's the matter?" Even though it was an old story, Shen Sui still became nervous.

"A student who went out of the mountain accidentally attracted someone with a heart on the way back to the mountain. Our hermitage has been exposed. Although the smog made the follower lost, this hermitage is indeed no longer possible. Continue to live. As a last resort, the whole family abandoned the land that had survived for more than [-] years and migrated. However, no one knew where to go. The Yin and Yi clans had been hiding from the world for too long, and they had no place to stand outside. Fortunately, the head of the Yin family had a great talent at that time. She said that if she didn’t know where to go, she would go to Kyoto. At that time, Kyoto was in Jiankang, so they went all the way east. It happened that Yin and Yiben were from the Dongyi tribe. Living in the East is equivalent to returning home.

Since then, the two families have gone through untold hardships and traveled thousands of miles, and finally came to the vicinity of Huzhou.For a period of time, in order to give the clansmen a reasonable identity, the two families attached themselves to the Wuxing Shen family in Huzhou, and the Yin family even changed their ancient surname to 'Shen'.The Yi family also reduced their status to 'slave' and erased the 'Yi' surname.Fortunately, after that, the two families got rid of Wu Xingshen's family and settled down in Jiankang.The ancestors have suffered enough to hide from the world, and know the importance of intelligence.So while traveling north and south to do business, he set up Qianyumen to collect intelligence from all over the world.One is to protect oneself, and the other is to have a means to compete with the world.Relying on the Qianyumen, the ancestors survived many disasters such as the Civil War between the North and the South, and the uprising of heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty.It wasn't until entering the Great Tang Dynasty that the world was at peace that there was finally room to breathe.

55 years ago, your father was born.This bloodline heir acquired through three generations has become the treasure of the whole family.The two families devoted all their efforts to cultivating him.He was originally talented and willing to work hard. At a very young age, he was able to manage the entire Qianyumen's huge industry with ease.It's just that he never mentioned important events in his life, and he was still silent until he was 25 or [-] years old.In this matter, the family can't be in a hurry. After all, he is the heir of the blood line, so he must be cautious about who he chooses.Maybe it's because his own bloodline ability is so rare and powerful. His parents, that is, your grandparents, were short-lived and passed away very early, and they couldn't see him get married.He became the head of the family, and finally revealed his ambition to enter the court and become an official. He began to make friends while studying, and established a poetry club.When I went south to Huzhou to meet friends, I met your grandfather and your mother. "

When Xiongniang spoke up to this point, she paused and said:

"Chishi, I have never met your father. I am too young. When he was an official in Chang'an, I was still in my hometown in Jinling. Until I married and came to Chang'an, I hardly saw him face to face. For him , I have a lot of things that I don't know, and I only heard a few words from my father. But one thing I know is that his death is because of his special blood. This special blood is not allowed in this world Appearance, once in the world, will bring death disaster. He left too suddenly, so that he didn't have time to tell you the secret of the family blood passed down by word of mouth. And my father is the same, family secrets, passed down from generation to generation. Female, I was raised in my hometown in Jinling in the early years because I was a woman, and it was best not to get in touch with the head of the house, so as not to leak the secrets. So we have only now figured out who we are.

And since you know who you are and why your father died, Chishi, you must understand how dangerous your situation is. The cult Annayi knows the secrets of the Yin family, and maybe there are more people who know , let alone... the vampire in the tooth shop will know.Akashi, promise me, you will never risk your own life. "

Shen Sui didn't answer for a while.She put down the sheepskin book in her hand, raised her eyes to look at Yiyan:

"Why tell me now, you will know that night."

"Because I can't be sure if you are the bloodline successor until I feel the pregnancy vein of the lotus maid." Yiyan replied, "If you are not the bloodline successor, then I don't need to let you know these things for the time being, it will interfere you."

"Does the maidservant know?" Shen Sui asked.

"I don't know, I think you should tell her this matter yourself." Yi Suo said.

Shen Sui nodded, Yizheng's approach was very prudent.

"Don't let Qin Nu know about this for now. You didn't tell her, did you?"

Yizheng shook her head.

"Is Qin Nu the bloodline successor?" Shen Sui asked.

"It shouldn't be. The bloodline successor can be seen from the early stage of pregnancy. Qin Nu is the child of the princess, and there are detailed records of pregnancy and childbirth. I have seen that she was pregnant in October, and everything is normal." Yi Suo said.

Shen Sui was silent for a moment, and said:

"Xiaoniang, if my father's bone marrow can make Anna Yi prolong her life and keep her youthful. Then can my bone marrow make Qin Nu stand up?"

Yiyan's eyes widened, she was tongue-tied for a moment, then she rushed to Shen Sui and said in a low voice:

"Do you know what you're talking about!"

"I just want to know what effect Luanhuang marrow blood has." Shen Sui lowered his eyes and said wearily.

Yi Yan trembled her lips, and said after a while: "Your bone marrow can make Qin Nu stand up. But you are going to die!"

With a loud "pop", the door was suddenly pushed open, and the two people in the room were startled. They saw Shen Jin outside the door. She was sitting in a wheelchair, her hands were tightly clutching the armrest, her face was full of panic and anger .

"Qin..." Before Shen Sui could utter the second word, Shen Jin turned the wheelchair and left quickly.Behind her the bluebird stood blankly, not knowing what to do.Shen Sui glanced at the blue robin, stood up hastily, and staggered after him.

Yizhuo felt as if she had lost all strength, her body loosened, and she fell on top of the table.

The author has something to say: refine the points that need to be paid attention to in this chapter:

1. The Yin family is one of the Dongyi people. The original meaning of Dongyi is the people of the east, which generally refers to the various ethnic groups living in the east of our country.These include Huaiyi, Laiyi, Niaoyi, Daoyi, Huangyi and so on.Distributed in today's Anhui Province, Shandong Province, Jiangsu Province.Yin's ancestors are Qiongsang and his son Shaohao (the eldest son of the Yellow Emperor), and the tribal totem is Phoenix.It is also the source of the southern Phoenix totem worship. [Historically, Qiongsang is actually a place name, the capital of the Dongyi Tribal Alliance, and also a reference to Shaohao, which is quoted here as a person's name. 】

2. The Luanhuang bloodline specifically refers to the one that inherits the special bloodline of Poor Sang. Most of the heirs who inherit the bloodline will be regarded as the head of the family. The secrets of the family bloodline are passed down orally from generation to generation, and they are often told to the next generation after they become adults.In fact, the Yin family has more than one Luanhuang bloodline, and those who did not inherit the bloodline will generally not be told the secret of the family bloodline.

3. Yishi is a witch doctor of Luanhuang Yin's tribe. He had intermarried with Yin's in the early generations, and the relationship was extremely close, regardless of each other.The secret of Yi's mastery of Yin's bloodline was passed down orally from generation to generation before Nanliang, and only those who inherit Yi's family will know.After Nanliang came out of the mountains, the secret was passed on to males and not to females, and most of them were only passed on to the eldest son who inherited the family business, and an additional notebook was added to record the secret.

4. Epino didn't tell Shen Sui earlier because she was not sure whether she was the bloodline heir.The reason why she didn't tell Maid Lotus was because the matter was so important that she couldn't make her own opinion, she had to let Shen Sui make up her own mind.And Shen Sui told Yiyan not to tell Shen Jin because she deliberately wanted to find out the efficacy of her blood marrow, and wanted to secretly heal Shen Jin with her own blood marrow.The function of blood marrow is to promote cell regeneration. After taking it, it can speed up the body's metabolism, but it will not make people live forever.

5. Shen Jin is not a bloodline heir.

6. The Yin family is not passed down from generation to generation. The combination of women and women in the ancestors is very rare, and it is a huge price to pay for childbearing.Bloodline successors are already very rare, almost disappearing.

This article does have a fantasy color, but I have always controlled the speed. The Luanhuang bloodline is not a bloodline that defies the sky, nor does it have the ability to defy the sky, and it will also be forced to a corner.This ethnic group is just a special race with genetic genes and the ability to conceive in a woman's blood.
