Lord Tianshi, please take your seat

For a while, there was chaos outside.

As for Zhong Wanning, she came to the bed at this moment, looking at the woman who had long since died on the bed, and wanted to reach out to touch her, but her hand passed through the woman's body.

Xie Wanyun's face was blurred to Zhong Wanning, because she had never seen this deceased mother since she was a child, and the only contact she had was with the plaque she saw in the ancestral hall on her birthday.

Withdrawing her hand, Zhong Wanning felt as if her heart was being grabbed by something, suffocating, painful, and uncomfortable.

The feeling of headache struck again, as if her body was being grabbed by hands, trying to pull her to another place.

Zhong Wanning resisted, she wanted to see the face of her mother whom she had never met, even just a glance.

"Mother, let me take a look at you, just take a look at you..." Zhong Wanning struggled to speak because of a force.

That force was disobedient, and with the sudden force, Zhong Wanning only felt her body move backwards quickly, and the surrounding images began to become blurred.

Suddenly, the ancestral hall appeared in front of him.

Zhong Dangu was dressed in white, and in his arms was Zhong Wanning, who was not yet full-term.

Everyone in the Zhong family lowered their heads, and the ancestral hall was very quiet, but Xiao Wanning didn't seem to think so. She was a little hungry and started babbling.

But no one paid any attention to her, and Xiao Wanning, who was dissatisfied, began to cry. This cry surrounded the ancestral hall, matched with the paper money all over the place, it was indescribably lonely.

After a long time, Xiao Wanning's cries became hoarse, so Zhong Dan slowly lowered his head and looked at his daughter: "Wanning, you should cry, she is your mother, she died because of you, you You should cry."

Xiao Wanning in her arms naturally couldn't understand, she was so hungry and crying without milk, she couldn't figure out why no one came to breastfeed her, no one hugged herself in her arms like ordinary parents Here, softly spoken comfort.

On the other side, standing there, Zhong Wanning had grown up.Looking at the enshrined plaque on the ancestral hall, his clenched hands trembled slightly.

In my mind is the lingering words of my father.

You should cry, she is your mother, she died because of you, you should cry...

I couldn't bear the soreness in my eyes any longer, and looked up, everything here was so familiar.My father never mentioned how my mother died. From now on, perhaps, my father has always hated himself.

In the ancestral hall, the crying of the baby continued, so Zhong Dan got up and handed the baby in his arms to the person beside him.He lifted his foot out of the ancestral hall.

Zhong Wanning followed her father outside.

It is still a high wall of bluestone gray and white bricks, and a neatly tiled floor.It's just that these are much newer than those in memory.

The air that has just rained is still a little humid, and with the breeze, it should give people a quiet and comfortable feeling, but at this moment it seems lifeless.

When Zhong Dangu raised his hand, Zhong Wanning felt that the ground under his feet began to tremble slightly. The complex formation slowly spread out from Zhong Dangu's feet until it covered the entire Tianshi Mansion.

At this moment, her father was only in his early twenties, how could it be possible to activate such a huge formation, Zhong Wanning felt a little uneasy, not remembering that she was just an incorporeal body at this moment, so she stepped forward to stop it.

"Father, stop now!"

As a result, it is conceivable that the body still passed through Zhong Dangu's body, and no one stopped the opening of this formation.

A transparent barrier began to slowly rise in the sky of Tianshi Mansion, covering the entire mansion.

Zhong Wanning raised her head, this formation...is actually an enchantment above Zhong's house!

Zhong Dangu really couldn't bear the power of this formation, blood began to ooze from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't intend to stop.

Gritting his teeth, Zhong Dangu let out a loud roar: "Use my lifespan to strengthen the formation!"

After the words fell, the formation began to heal quickly. After a long time, a formation finally formed above the Tianshi Mansion, and then gradually disappeared, isolating all the evil spirits.

The formation was completed, but Zhong Dangu's body was crumbling. Zhong Wanning wanted to help him, but he couldn't do anything.

Looking at it again, Zhong Dangu seems to have aged a lot.

There was another pull, and the scene around Zhong Wanning changed again.

At this moment, Xiao Wanning is already 3 years old. She is obviously a girl, but she is wearing a boy's robe and a boy's hair in a bun.

When Zhong Wanning was a child, she didn't even know how to write, so she needed to draw symbols with cinnabar.Before he was familiar with the road, he was ordered to hold a mahogany sword.

Zhong Dan never told her what a man and a woman are. He always said that you are the master of the Zhong family, and you will take my place in the future. You need to be as strong and invincible as men in this world.

Xiao Wanning was puzzled: "Father, what is a man?"

Every time he asked about this, Zhong Dangu always stroked Xiao Wanning's robe: "If you wear my Zhong family's robe, you will be a man."

Xiao Wanning always regards her father's words as her standard.Apart from a few maidservants who served his mother during his lifetime, there were no other women in the Tianshi Mansion.

Xiao Wanning has never seen a dazzling array of dresses and jewelry since she was a child. She grew up with only the magic weapon of the celestial master and a plain robe.

Ye Zhinan came to Zhong's house when he was ten years old. That day Zhong Wanning was practicing martial arts with a group of his brothers and sisters. Ye Zhinan was running around like a strange rabbit.

I heard from the senior brother that the Ye family was also from the lineage of the Celestial Master before, but the whole family was killed by a ghost, and only she was saved by Zhong Dangu.

Zhong Dangu had a good relationship with the Ye family, and Ye's father said before his death that it was not Zhong Dangu who entrusted his daughter to him, and he only hoped that his daughter would be safe for the rest of her life.

Ye Zhinan was immediately attracted by the Tingting young man in front of the team, and rushed forward to save Zhong Wanning.

"Little brother, you are so pretty, what's your name?"

Not liking this noisy person, Zhong Wanning pushed away Ye Zhinan who wanted to hang on her body: "Zhong, Zhong Wanning."

Ye Zhinan tilted his head, as if he couldn't feel Zhong Wanning's resistance, he was still smiling: "My name is Ye Zhinan. Brother, you are so pretty."

For Zhong Wanning's beauty, Ye Zhinan always praised Zhong Wanning, at first Zhong Wanning felt noisy, but after a long time, she let her go.

Zhong Dan therefore stepped forward in time to answer everyone's doubts: "From today onwards, Ye Zhinan will be your junior sister."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Dangu was called away, leaving only a group of teachers and brothers around to tease the new porcelain doll.

For the enthusiasm of the senior brothers, Ye Zhinan lacked interest, but Zhong Wanning, who was indifferent to her, attracted her interest even more.

From then on, Zhong Wanning had a noisy follower beside her.

There were only a small number of women on the mountain, so it was logical that Ye Zhinan lived next to Zhong Wanning's other courtyard.

For this eccentric girl, the brothers on the mountain really like it. Zhong Dangu's family education is strict, and the disciples on the mountain always wear uniform plain robes.I can't wear good-looking clothes, so my brothers always save up money and sneak down the mountain to buy all kinds of weird clothes for Ye Zhinan.

So Ye Zhinan was "colorfully dressed" by her senior brothers, and then swayed around Zhong Wanning.

Every now and then, Zhong Wanning always likes to pinch her brows so maturely that she can't bear to look directly at her.

……

On a bright sunny morning, a group of disciples of Zhongfu were dancing peach-wood swords under the sun.Today's Zhong Wan moved a little slowly, unable to keep up with the password.

Zhong Dangu at the side frowned when he saw it, and said in a deep voice, "Wan Ning, the hand holding the sword is not steady, and the movements are slow. Is that what I taught you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Wanning's face turned pale, she shook her head, a little stubbornly: "It's Wanning who is dull."

With a snort, Zhong Dan walked away with a look of invisibility.

Seeing her father like this, Xiao Wanning's eyes turned red, but she still held back her tears.

Ye Zhinan walked to Xiao Wanning's side to comfort her: "Senior sister, you are already very good, so you don't need to blame yourself."

For some reason today, Xiao Wanning always felt cramps in her stomach, and her eyes were always dizzy under the sun, which slowed down the speed of drawing the sword.

But thinking of her father's disappointment just now, Xiao Wanning pouted, picked up the sword and joined the training.

After an unknown amount of time, a disciple's exclamation came from behind: "Senior Sister, you are injured."

The ranking of the Zhong family is not based on age, but on the basis of the time when they started. Although Zhong Wanning is much younger than all the other disciples present, after all, since he was born, he started, and his seniority is always higher. .

And the disciple who said that Xiao Wanning was injured was because he saw that the robe behind Xiao Wanning was stained with blood.

Ye Zhinan hurried forward to investigate, and found that there was indeed a puddle of blood on Xiao Wanning's back, which was particularly obvious because she was wearing a white robe.

But observing this "injured" place is a bit strange.

Although Ye Zhinan hasn't experienced it yet, when she was a child, her mother always pinpointed the time when Ye Zhinan grew up, and gave her popular science in advance.

Realizing something, Ye Zhinan hurriedly dragged Zhong Wanning back to the other courtyard.

They called the maids who usually waited on them. Seeing this scene, the maids knew what was going on, and hurriedly took Xiao Wanning back to the room to change clothes.

On the other hand, the person involved didn't seem to know what it meant, and was dragged into the room still wondering, when did he get hurt?

After taking off her clothes, Zhong Wanning sat on the bed in obscene clothes, and looked at the things that the maid was holding in her hand, which belonged to women's special needs, with a face of resistance.

The maid was a little helpless: "Miss, let's be obedient, can we change into this?"

Xiao Wanning shook her head: "What is this?"

The maid explained patiently: "Miss has grown up and is having her menstruation. This is what I need for my menstruation."

Xiao Wanning still resisted: "Does the menstruation you mentioned refer to my injury?"

The maidservant didn't know how to explain, so she nodded, "It's the young miss who was injured."

After listening to this, Xiao Wanning became even more puzzled: "Shouldn't you use wound medicine when you are injured? What can this thing do?"

"This this……"

Seeing the uncooperative Xiao Wanning, the maid was at a loss as to what to do, Ye Zhinan pushed the door in and replied, "Senior Sister, you must be bandaged if you are injured, this one is here to bandage you."

Finally, coaxing and deceiving, Xiao Wanning, the first major event in her life, has been dealt with.

In the evening, Ye Zhinan watched Zhong Wanning drink the brown sugar water brought by the maid, and took the opportunity to take care of her senior sister to sleep with Zhong Wanning.

In the evening, Xiao Wanning was still sitting in the study reading a book, Ye Zhinan felt that it was necessary to educate Zhong Wanning on the things girls need to pay attention to.

Walking in front of Zhong Wanning, she coughed lightly.

Xiao Wanning continued to flip through the book without looking up.

Ye Zhinan paced back and forth, and coughed again tentatively.

Xiao Wanning raised her head: "When?"

Seeing that he finally started talking to him, Ye Zhinan hurried forward and took out the book in Xiao Wanning's hand: "Senior sister, you can't do this."

Xiao Wanning raised her eyebrows: "What can't be done."

Ye Zhinan scratched his head, how can he say this: "It's just...just..."

Unable to say a word for a long time, Xiao Wanning took back the stolen book and looked through it again: "It's getting late, if you are tired, you can go back to your room to rest."

Seeing that the senior sister didn't really want to talk to him, Ye Zhinan puffed his mouth: "Senior sister, you have to know that men and women are different. You are a girl. My mother said before that a girl will grow up when she has menstruation. You should pay special attention to it." .”

The difference between men and women?

This is the first time Xiao Wanning has heard of this, because she always remembers her father's words, "When you put on my Zhong family's robe, you become a man."

Thinking of this, Xiao Wanning looked at Ye Zhinan and said, "I am originally a man, if Junior Sister is saying that I am different from you, you can go back to sleep in your own room."

When he heard that the senior sister wanted to drive him away, Ye Zhinan panicked instantly: "It's not the senior sister, I don't mean that I and you..."

Something seemed wrong, Ye Zhinan recalled Zhong Wanning's words just now, and was a little surprised: "Senior sister, you are a woman, how can you be a man?"

Xiao Wanning laughed: "Why am I a woman? Don't be joking, junior sister."

"Senior sister, you belong to a girl, you are not a boy!"

Ye Zhinan was a little short of words, so he could only repeat the conclusion.

Xiao Wanning didn't take it seriously, she just thought that Ye Zhinan was too young to understand.

Seeing Zhong Wanning's nonchalant expression, Ye Zhinan knew she didn't believe her, so he stood up and argued loudly: "Men don't have menstruation, women do!"

Thinking of today's scene, there are seniors in the mansion who are older than him, and they don't seem to have had the so-called "menstruation".

Even so, Zhong Wanning still didn't believe it: "Didn't Junior Sister admit that I was injured just now? Maybe it wasn't a menstrual thing."

Seeing that it didn't make sense, Ye Zhinan pulled Xiao Wanning outside and said, "Senior Sister, come with me."

As he spoke, Ye Zhinan kept walking all the way, and kicked open the door of the men's bathroom with a bang.

It was getting late at this moment, there was no one in the bathroom, only Luo Sheng was left, who was getting dressed just after taking a shower.

As a result, the naked Luo Sheng was stared at by the two of them.

The instigator didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. Ye Zhinan just wanted to prove himself at the moment, so he pointed at the naked Luo Sheng and said, "Look, senior sister, a man who looks like this is a man, and he is different from us!"

At this moment, 16-year-old Zhong Wanning has learned for the first time what is the difference between men and women, and it is still in this simple and rude way.

She didn't want to believe it, and she began to be afraid, so did her father always dislike herself, because she was not a real man.

Thinking of this, Zhong Wanning took a step closer to the bathroom.

Seeing that the two people outside the door were about to move forward, Luo Sheng finally realized it, and hurriedly began to put clothes on himself.

"Master... Senior Sister, you should not go any further..."

In the end, it was Ye Zhinan who held Xiao Wanning back so that she wouldn't tear off Luo Sheng's clothes for research.

Thinking of something, Xiao Wanning shook Ye Zhinan's hand and ran outside.

Seeing Xiao Wanning leave, Ye Zhinan hurried forward to chase after him: "Senior Sister, wait for me."

Watching the "perpetrator" leave, only Luo Sheng was left in place, shedding chaste tears.

……

Arriving at Zhong Dangu's room, he pushed open the door with a bang.

Hearing the noise, Zhong Dangu quickly put down the book in his hand, and looked at the visitor angrily: "Wan Ning, you are getting more and more unruly!"

Running a little out of breath, Xiao Wanning looked at the person in front of her: "Father, you once said that as long as you wear the clothes of the Zhong family, you are a man. It is not true."

Zhong Dangu stared at Xiao Wanning, and the patriarch's majesty was released, but Xiao Wanning still stared at her, unwilling to give up.

Without getting a response, Xiao Wanning still didn't want to give up, and continued to ask and answer: "Father, am I a man?"

Ye Zhinan hurried over from behind and broke the stalemate between the two: "Master..."

Finally, Zhong Dangu snorted coldly: "Zhinan, take your senior sister back and think about your mistakes behind closed doors."

In the end, Xiao Wanning didn't get an answer from her father either.

Zhong Wanning, who had become a soul body, did not leave with Xiao Wanning at this moment. She stood beside Zhong Dangu and looked at her father when she was young. I know the answer from my father's mouth.

Touching the fabric on her body, it was still the Zhong family's robe, because that sentence had already been imprinted in her heart.

A gust of evening wind blew in and flipped the books on the table. It was the book Zhong Dangu was reading when Xiao Wanning came in.

"It takes a blood-related man's lifespan to continue the enchantment forever..."

That's a sentence in the book.

His eyes, which were like a pool of stagnant water all year round, moved slightly, wanting to turn the pages and read the contents of the book.

However, the transparent incorporeal body is useless.

Zhong Dangu, who was standing by the side, turned to the next page in good time, which read

"Otherwise, a soul sacrifice is required..."

Suddenly, Zhong Wanning's head hurt, and a familiar voice sounded in her mind, as if calling her to wake up.

Unconsciously blurted out: "Ah Chu..."

And as Zhong Wanning's voice fell, the scenery around her suddenly blurred, and Zhong Wanning returned to the forest in a blink of an eye.
