Back to Xianzun's youth [Transmigration Book]

Yan Qing was stunned and said, "Breathing-avoiding bead?"

Xie Shiyi nodded and said, "En."

Yan Qing asked: "What is the function of the breath-avoiding beads?"

Xie Shiyi said: "Two, one is to conceal the breath, and the other is to expel evil things."

Yan Qing frowned: "That's no wonder, the water that Liu Yirui's family drank was purified so that they could stay awake all the time. It's just that her ancestor was a hunter, where did she get the breath-absorbing beads in the well?"

Xie Shiyi said: "Tonight I will go to Liu's house with you to have a look..."

Yan Qing was startled, and raised his head worriedly: "You recovered?"

"Yeah." Xie Shiyi nodded, lowered his eyes and said, "We've been here long enough."

For him, the barrier city is just the most insignificant step. The City Lord's Mansion, Zijinzhou, and even the people behind the Qin family involved in it are the key. There is no need to delay too long in the barrier city.

Yan Qing brought Xie Shiyi to Liu's house, and the streets of Zhancheng were deserted at night.Under the cold moonlight, the dry well of the Liu family looked even more eerie and gloomy.

Xie Shiyi stood by the well, a trace of ice-blue spiritual power overflowed from his fingertips, and merged into the well water. After a while, he whispered: "It's a bit strange."

Yan Qing was taken aback: "What?"

Xie Shiyi said: "There are no breathing beads in this water, but the spiritual power of breathing beads is everywhere."

Yan Qing pondered for a while, and said: "Now you come here to see if there are any other abnormalities, I'll go and ask Liu Yirui."

Xie Shiyi glanced at him slowly before saying, "Okay."

In order to investigate the origin and whereabouts of Bi Xizhu, Yan Qing went to the foot of the mountain to find Liu Yirui.

The mountains are empty and silent, and the crows and sparrows are everywhere.Liu Yirui was sitting by the fire, and when the door moved slightly, she immediately held the knife in her hand and said vigilantly: "Who?"

Yan Qing said, "It's me."

Hearing Yan Qing's words, Liu Yirui put away the knife in her hand, her lips were chapped and her complexion was gone, and she asked anxiously: "Is the clan's mansion still looking for me now?"

Yan Qing closed the door and said, "No, Madam Su is about to give birth, and they are all busy with Madam Su's affairs. I came here this time just to

I have two questions for you. Before Liu Yirui breathed a sigh of relief, she immediately raised her spirits for his last sentence, she bit her lips: "What do you want to ask. "

Yan Qing said bluntly, "Does that well in your house have any origins?"

Liu Yirui's expression changed violently, she immediately lowered her head, and said uncomfortably, "It's just a well dug for drinking water, there's nothing to talk about."

Yan Qing sighed helplessly: "Liu Yirui, what's the use of you lying to me, now that your parents are both dead, and your younger brother's life or death is uncertain in the city lord's mansion, all you can do is cooperate with me as much as possible." He didn't hide it, and smiled Then, Tao Huayan looked at her coldly and said: "I already asked about the well, do you think I can still fool around casually?"

Liu Yirui's already sickly face became paler, and under the light of the fire, her brownish pupils slowly shrank to a point.

Yan Qing said: "If you tell me everything, maybe I can save your brother. What's in the well?"

boom--!

A huge thunder suddenly sounded outside, splitting the entire sky in two.The lightning like a silver snake fell on Liu Yirui's face through the dilapidated window, her face was pale.

The word "brother" seemed to touch a certain chord in her heart. Liu Yirui curled up, moved her lips, then closed her eyes as if desperate, and murmured: "Under the well is the corpse of a fairy."

Yan Qing was stunned.

Liu Yirui smiled bitterly: "I lied to you earlier, there are actually a lot of things about immortals passed down by my great-grandfather. He wants us to pass it on from generation to generation and keep this in mind as a redemption. The corpse in the well is that immortal of."

Liu Yirui seemed to be immersed in a nightmare from which she could not wake up, her fingers were trembling violently, and she whispered about the past: "In the first year of Jinghong, the five families of Zhancheng held a hunting banquet here. The head of the Xie family brought the favored Mrs. Chuxuan I also participated in the hunt, but unexpectedly, the nine-day thunderbolt struck the top of the mountain, and when everyone was fleeing, the carriage of Mrs. Chuxuan, who was pregnant in nine months, accidentally fell off the cliff. My great-grandfather picked her up on the line. "

Yan Qing remained silent.In this barrier city that has been smoggy and rainy for hundreds of years, the truth hidden by the years seems to be slowly revealing to him.

Liu Yirui tremblingly said: "But finding Mrs. Chuxuan was not a good thing. At that time, the five families in Zhancheng were covering the sky with one hand, and the Patriarch of the Xie family had a violent temper. If Mrs. Chuxuan had an accident with my great-grandfather, it would be difficult for our family. Escape to death."

"However, when Mrs. Chuxuan fell down from the mountain, she died long ago. After my grandma opened her stomach, she found that the child in her stomach had died long ago. One dead body and two lives."

Yan Qing didn't speak.

Liu Yirui's body trembled more and more, staring at the fire as if her soul was flying away: "Soon, the guards driving Madam Chuxuan's horse found this place. Seeing this scene, they were so angry that they wanted to kill my family. Because Madam Chuxuan died, If the Patriarch of the Xie family vents his anger, he will die too—we will all die! At this moment... that immortal came over."

"The clothes on her body seemed to be glowing with white light, which is not something that can be found in the mortal world. She was very beautiful, with disheveled hair and blood all over her body. She fell in front of my yard. My great-grandmother was shocked, and she died after going out. Death grabbed her hand and begged to save the child in her belly."

"Yes... she is pregnant too."

Liu Yirui's tears kept flowing, she didn't know whether it was because of remorse or fear.

"My great-grandmother helped her deliver the baby, and a boy was born."

"The fairy was seriously injured and died soon. After giving birth, she was already dying. Before she died, she took out a bag of gold, silver and jewels from her sleeve and handed it to my grandma. She knelt down and begged my grandma , I hope our family can help raise that child until he grows up."

Yan Qing was silent for a long time, and said, "But you broke your promise."

Liu Yirui said with trembling teeth: "Yes, otherwise, how can I say it is a redemption. Mrs. Chuxuan died twice, our family and the guards will not be able to survive. But if the child survives, tell the Patriarch of the Xie family that Mrs. Chuxuan gave birth to the child. And those who die will not die. For the Patriarch of the Xie family, it is an honor for a woman to die because she left him an offspring."

"So, we gave that child to the Patriarch of the Xie family, falsely claiming that it is Mrs. Chuxuan's child."

"At that time, both my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother felt that this was the best of both worlds. After all, Xie's family is the head of the five families, and they enjoy endless prosperity and wealth. The child will only suffer if he stays with my family."

"Sure enough, the Patriarch of the Xie family didn't pursue Mrs. Chuxuan's death too much. My great-grandfather's family shared the gold, silver and jewels with the guards, and moved from the foot of the mountain to the city."

Liu Yirui said: "We even held a funeral for that immortal, dug a grave for her, and erected a monument."

"However, one day, when my great-grandpa came back to tidy up his things, he found that the fairy's grave had been dug up. No, it was split rather than dug up—there was scorched earth around her, and the coffin was opened. At that time The scene is simply not something that humans can do, like the wrath of the sky. My great-grandfather was taken aback, and looked over to find that although there was a mess next to the mountain grave, she was unscathed. My great-grandfather felt ashamed, so he took the body Brought it back to our home and buried it in the backyard."

"But the grave hasn't been dug yet, but the fairy's body has already melted... After the fairy died, it turned into water! Her bones were gone, and she turned into a handful of pure water."

Yan Qing was taken aback, and asked in disbelief, "Water?"

Liu Yirui said: "Yes, water. Grandpa didn't continue digging the grave, but instead dug a well and poured this handful of water into it."

"This is what happened in the first year of Jinghong. In fact, I guessed that the strangeness of our family is because of that well." Liu Yirui held her clothes tightly with both hands, her nose and eyes were red, and she burst into tears unknowingly. With a full face, he murmured: "I don't want to suffer from being sober, but I also don't want to become a lunatic like them. Who will save me, who will save me."

Yan Qing ignored her collapse, and only asked, "Did your great-grandfather never pay attention to the child you sent to Xie's Mansion?"

Liu Yirui clenched her fingers tightly, her eyes dodged, and she said: "No, there are too many heirs in the Xie family, and the head of the Xie family is always romantic. Only the newcomers laugh and the old ones cry. What is the name of the child later? We don't know what life is like."

"My great-grandpa tried every means to inquire about it, but there was no news."

Yan Qing said lightly: "You lied to me again, Liu Yirui."

Yan Qing smiled and said every word. "Even if he didn't remember him when he was a child, how could your family be able to pretend to be stupid at that time in the 15th year of Jinghong, when the civet cat was replaced by the crown prince?"

boom!Another lightning struck, causing Liu Yirui's mind to go blank.

Liu Yirui's hand was completely put down, and she raised her head in a daze.She wanted to beautify those disgraceful things from her ancestors again and again, and then she was exposed again and again.This grievance from 200 years ago should not have been borne by her long ago.It's just that their family was forced to think about it while drinking water from the well day after day.Day and night, from this moment into the bone marrow.

Yan Qing said: "If the barrier city hadn't become what it is now, you would have been a special case. The secrets of your Liu family might never be told to outsiders."

"Who the hell are you?" Liu Yirui was so shocked that she was almost speechless.

Yan Qing said: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is. Liu Yirui, how much did your family contribute to the replacement of the civet cat for the prince in Jinghong's 15 years."

In the 15th year of Jinghong, he graduated from Dengxian Pavilion. No one would have thought that the proud son of heaven, who was so glorious at the time, would be dragged into the abyss like that.

Yan Qing said: "Back then, a beggar came to the door with a token. The Patriarch of the Xie family will definitely investigate what happened back then. Did he really not look for you?"

Liu Yirui's tears were dried by the fire, with tear stains hanging on her face, she just looked down at her hands and smiled bitterly.

Their family is not a good person, but it is not a bad person either.

If they were really evil people, they would not have helped that fairy give birth to a child in the first place, would not have dug her grave and erected a monument for her, and would not have passed down their sins from generation to generation as a lesson.

Liu Yirui murmured: "But my great-grandfather really never thought of harming him. Now that the barrier city has become like this, maybe it has been foreshadowed since the beginning. Everyone is crazy, especially the five great families. "

"The Patriarch of the Xie family looked for us. He looked for us in a panic and asked us to testify—" Liu Yirui said with a sad smile: "We want to testify, his child is that beggar!"
