The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

Shen Yu looked at Shang Junlin, feeling his hand being grasped, the two looked at each other, and stepped into the door.

The room was pitch black, and with their footsteps, the light gradually lit up. Right in front, the white-haired man was sitting in front of the desk, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Sullenly looked at the man in front of him. Although he had white hair, his face looked like he was in his 20s. Only those eyes, with vicissitudes inside, could tell the real age of one or two men.

"Who are you?" After Shen Yu came to the Ji clan, under the leadership of Ji Wuwang, he recognized many people in the clan. The characteristics of the people in front of him are so obvious. This person gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"It's just an inconspicuous elder." The white-haired man put down the scroll in his hand, "Aren't you curious about the existence of 'Jieyin' and so on? There are many books here that can clear up your doubts."

"You asked us to come just for this?" Sullen and suspicious.

"You can read it first. I believe you have verified it yourself. There are many things that cannot be found out from other people. The doubts in your hearts can be answered in this attic."

The answer sent to the door was not in vain. At this time, the room became brighter, and he saw that there were bookshelves all around. This place was obviously a place like the Library Pavilion. They walked all the way just now, but they didn't notice it.

"What you want to know is in the third cabinet in the second row on the left."

Shen Yu took Shang Junlin and walked to the place the white-haired man said. There was only one volume of books here, which was very thick. Shen Yu picked it up and looked at it. The volume was very new, and it didn't look like it had been placed for a long time.

After opening, the content inside is written in Dahuan characters.

There are some differences between the Ji family’s commonly used characters and Dahuan’s. Shen Yu thought it would take some effort to finish reading, but unexpectedly, the above characters were replaced with Dahuan’s characters so thoughtfully.

There are tables and chairs on the other side. Shen Yu and Shang Junlin walked over and sat down, opened the book and read together.

The first half of this book introduces the origin of "Jie Yin". It is said that the ancestors of the Ji family found a strange-looking little beast when they went to the mountain to collect medicine. They brought the little beast back to feed, and then the little beast died. The ancestors of the Ji family used small animals as raw materials to make a magical spell, named "Jieyin".

With this little beast, the ancestors of the Ji family learned to use the power of the gods to judge life and death with one word, know the future with one word, and various unreasonable abilities.

The ancestors chose the most intelligent woman in the clan at that time, planted a "precept" for her, and asked her to cooperate in managing the affairs of the clan.Those who receive the "precept" will become smarter, more likely to master the abilities of the Ji family, and can guarantee that they will not age. After each person who receives the "precept" dies, the next one will appear, the chosen one, and the next one will appear. Known as the saint who serves the gods, she needs to dedicate everything to the gods, and she is not allowed to marry or give birth to the next generation.

After hundreds of years of evolution, the Ji family has grown from weak to strong, and at its strongest, a Ji family is equivalent to a country.Nothing can get rid of the principle that prosperity must decline, and the Ji family is the same. After the prosperity, it will lose quickly.Because there were too many forces offended during the heyday, the Ji family had to go dormant again.

Shen Yu also discovered that every saint of the Ji family will not serve for more than 30 years. The book does not say how these saints died. It only says that when a saint passes away, the new saint will come It will appear naturally and take over the position of the previous saint.

The content of the book is not long, and it didn't take much time to read it. He put down the book depressedly, and walked up to the white-haired man: "My mother fled the Ji family with 'Jing Yin', so who is the current saint of the Ji family?"

According to the records in the book, there has never been a situation where two saintesses existed at the same time in the Ji family.

"There is no saintess in the Ji family now," the white-haired man's expression changed for a moment, and then quickly turned expressionless again, "Your mother is not here, and the family can't choose a new saint. Combining various conditions, you are actually very conform to."

Sullen quickly realized: "You mean, to be a 'saint', one must be a 'precept'?"

"You can understand that without the saintess, the mystery of the Ji family will gradually disappear. Your mother has been away for more than 20 years, and in another ten years at most, all the mysteries of the Ji family will disappear."

"Ji Wuwang asked me to come back because he wanted me to be a 'Saint'?" If not, Shen Yu couldn't figure out why Ji Wuwang went to Dahuan Capital to find him.

"You can ask him for this answer yourself, he has no intention of harming you."

While speaking, the white-haired man covered his mouth and coughed a few times, blood spilled between his fingers.

"Are you okay?" Shen Yu felt that this person was more like a seriously ill person than himself.

Shang Junlin has been standing silently behind Shen Yu, only when Shen Yu asked if Ji Wuwang wanted him to stay, his body tensed slightly.

The white-haired man took out his handkerchief and wiped off the blood with ease: "No problem."

"The person that Ji Wuwang brought back once said something. What Ji Wuwang said is nonsense. I want to know if people from your clan can really predict the future." Shang Junlin said suddenly .

"Actually, the future is uncertain. Different choices will lead to different futures. People in the Ji family can indeed divination, but what we can see is only one of the directions. What will the final future be? You don't know, you can take it as true or you can take it as nonsense."

It seemed that he was out of energy. After saying this, the white-haired man showed the intention of seeing off the guests.

After the two left, Ji Wuwang walked out through the secret door: "Why did you tell them this?"

"You are willing to disregard the survival of the Ji family and agree to remove the 'Jing Yin' for him. What's the point if I tell him the truth?"

One thing, they tacitly did not say it, before Shen Yu, no one had ever pulled out the "Jie Yin" alive.Why can a new saint be found quickly after the previous saint passed away?Because there is only one copy of "Jingyin", which is nourished by the lives of saints from generation to generation and has been preserved to this day.

If you want to gain power beyond ordinary people, you always have to pay for it.

"The situation outside is stable now. Even if there is no barrier, the Ji family can still live well with the medical skills passed down. There is no need to be bound for generations because of some unimportant things." Ji Wuwang said.

"If he could think like you did back then, how could he be in the current situation?"

"What about you, what kind of future did you see two years ago? Why did you suddenly change from blocking me to standing by me?"

"I saw……"

Doom and hope.

In the next few days, Shen Yu didn't go out with Shang Junlin, and he was going to start making final preparations for removing "Jie Yin".

Take a medicated bath for an hour every day.

The water in the tub is light green, and as the soaking time increases, the color of the water will gradually fade, and finally turn into transparent white.

When taking a medicinal bath, Shang Junlin will accompany him by his side.

Putting his arms on the edge of the bathtub, he looked at Shang Junlin with a smile: "Your Majesty, tell me a story."

Cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead. The potion was extremely irritating to his body. When Shen Yu soaked it for the first time, even though Ji's family had informed him in advance, he almost jumped out of it.

It hurts so much.

It was like countless needles dipped in salt water, piercing the skin little by little, stirring inside, especially when it was just soaked in, the pain was so painful that I couldn't feel anything outside.

When the pain subsided, he found himself biting Shang Junlin's arm, and his mouth was full of bloody smell.

He saw the distress in the man's eyes, saw that he wished he could replace it with his body, and suddenly felt less pain. Later, in order to divert his attention, he would talk to Shang Junlin, although most of the time he was listening to Shang Junlin. Jun Lin said.

"What do you want to hear, Ah Yu?" Shang Junlin's tone was gentle, and the distress in his voice was hidden by his master.

"I want to hear about His Majesty's past."

"it is good."

The man's voice was low, gentle, and melancholy. He seemed to have seen Shang Junlin at that time, a young boy who was brilliant on the battlefield even though he was still young.

That was Shang Junlin he had never seen before.

Shang Junlin was very patient. Even if a story was repeated several times, the tone did not change at all. When the time came, he took Shen Yu out of the tub, wrapped it up, and put it in the next room.

At this time, Shen Yu had no strength at all.

He leaned on Shang Junlin and looked up at him: "Your Majesty, don't frown."

After tidying up for Shen Yu, Shang Junlin called the people waiting outside to check Shen Yu's body.

Doctor Gu took Shen Yu's pulse first, followed by other Ji family members, and finally took a drop of blood.

With gloomy eyes, he looked at his fingers, and on his fingertips, there were many wounds left when blood was taken.

Shang Junlin held his hand: "Doctor Gu said that the preparations are almost done over there, and in a few days, Ah Yu won't have to suffer so much."

Every time he sees Shen Yu in pain, Shang Junlin's heart feels like being cut by a blunt knife, and there are blunt pains. When Shen Yu sees him in pain at first, he wants to let him go outside. If he can't see it, he won't feel uncomfortable. , but Shang Junlin refused to agree, no matter what, he would stay by Shen Yu's side.

After resting for half an hour, Depression's physical strength recovered. Although it was uncomfortable when taking the medicinal bath, after the bath, Depression's physical condition was indeed much better than before.

Shang Junlin hugged Shen Yu and basked in the sun outside the house. The two whispered something, and Ji Wuwang walked in from the yard: "I just went to confirm it, and now I'm waiting for the results of 'Yuelian'."

"'Yue Lian' can really bear fruit?" Shen Yu poked her head out of Shang Junlin's arms.

"Yes, its fruit is the most important medicine. Haven't you noticed that since you came to the tribe, there have been small fruits under its buds?"

Shen Yu really didn't notice this point, after coming here, "Yue Lian" was taken away by Ji Wuwang and said that she wanted to study together, there was Imperial Physician Gu there, so Shen Yu didn't bother to ask too much.

"I saw a white-haired man the other day, and he told me that you brought me back because you wanted me to be a 'saint' at first." Shen Yu stared at Ji Wuwang, "Is it true?"

"Yes," Ji Wuwang did not deny what he had thought, "but then I changed my mind. You don't have to worry about what I will do when I take the opportunity. Since I promised to remove the 'Jieyin' for Xiaoyu, I won't break my promise."

"Why did you change your mind?"

"If you insist on an answer, it's because of him," Ji Wuwang looked at Shang Junlin, "You are obviously happier with him than staying in the clan. Back then, my father failed to do for your mother." I hope I can do it for you, just treat it as a little compensation for my brother."
