Chapter five hundred and first: female sacrifice
At this time, Ange was already pacing around in the courtyard of the Mohou Mansion, waiting for him to come back. An Ning was beating the back of the elderly Granny Kan, watching Ange walking back and forth in front of her eyes.
The faster, but after a while, her eyes blurred and she felt nauseated. An Ning angrily held him down and forced him to sit down. He whispered: "Stop wandering around all the time. My mother-in-law said that Miss Long is nothing serious."
, let her sleep well, and just apply the detoxifying ointment when she wakes up tomorrow. You are really annoyed to death and can’t calm down for a second."
An Ge had been trained by An Ning since he was a child. He simply pursed his lips and didn't bother to talk back to her. He stared at the wall courtyard restlessly. Finally, when Xiao Qianye came back quietly as before, he immediately climbed over the wall.
He jumped up and rushed over. Before he could ask anything, he saw three more figures coming in behind him. The leader was a tall man. His skills looked like those of a martial arts practitioner, except for his left arm.
It was a shiny silver prosthetic leg. Behind him was a young girl who almost somersaulted to the ground. Finally, there was an old woman on crutches. Although she was hunched over a lot of age, her movements over the wall were relatively small.
The girl was very neat, so the three of them followed him inexplicably, standing in a row and looking at each other with Ange.
"Ah...who are these?" Ange scratched his head and couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment. Xiao Qianye pointed at Huo Cang and introduced, "This is my White Wolf's former general Huo Cang."
Cang, this is Miss Yuxu from Xixue Valley. As for this old woman..."
Before she finished speaking, Granny Kan, who was a few steps away, couldn't help but snorted coldly. She squinted her eyes and looked at the other person up and down several times, and then said in a weird voice: "Isn't this the old lady Zhu from the Kamani tribe? You're not dead yet.
Woolen cloth?"
As soon as these words came out, several people were silent. They looked at the two old people rolling their eyes at the same time. They didn't know what old grudges they had between them. They hummed in unison. Xiao Qianye was not in a hurry. Originally,
After Huo Cang left the Military Pavilion branch, he wanted to find the old woman at that time. Unexpectedly, when he left the front door, the other party seemed to have noticed that he was coming to find him. In order not to cause trouble to Kun Hong, he simply took the three of them to search together.
When Qiang returned to the Desert Marquis Mansion, Granny Zhu looked older than Granny Kan. She pointed her crutch at the opponent's nose without showing any signs of weakness, and immediately retorted angrily: "You haven't died yet."
Don’t think that just because you are younger than me, you will live longer than me. We still don’t know which one of us will be buried first!”
"You...you damn old woman, you curse me as soon as you open your mouth after we haven't seen each other for almost 30 years!" Grandma Kan turned blue with anger. Her waist and legs no longer hurt. She jumped up and was about to rush over to hit someone. Aning
He was so frightened that he immediately held her down. Unexpectedly, she still couldn't let go of her anger. She raised her hand to take off her shoe and hit it in the face. Zhu's mother-in-law was just a few steps away from her. After all, she was old, and the cloth shoe was
The old man staggered back and almost fell down. He was so angry that he picked up his crutches and was about to rush over to fight. Yuxu held down the angry mother-in-law Zhu, "Two old men, please say
I started the scolding in a nonchalant manner, which made several young people around me embarrassed and unable to interrupt at all.
An Ge stopped between the two old men. After a while, they both stopped panting, and invariably told An Ning and Yu Xu next to them: "I'm so thirsty, get some water quickly."
"Oh, oh... Please take a break first, sit down, sit down." An Ning and Yu Xu helped the two of them sit down at the stone table in tacit understanding. Each of them poured a glass of cold water and handed it over. Grandma Kan felt relieved.
After taking a breath, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Qianye and asked coldly: "You old woman's nose is still so sharp, so you can smell the breath of a divine object and follow it so quickly? I'm warning you not to have any ideas about that thing! No wonder the former
Your people have been spreading nonsense in the city for a few days about how the emperor's blood will be cut off and the flying wall will soon sink into the sea. Have you been targeting the treasure for a long time?"
Her words did not make Granny Zhu have the slightest reaction. Instead, Xiao Qianye couldn't help but be more vigilant. Even though he was facing two elderly women, his hand still silently pressed Gu Chen's hand in an instant.
The handle of the knife, Granny Zhu glanced at the movements in his hand with her peripheral vision, and snorted disdainfully: "I have no idea about that thing. If I insist on saying it, the only one who really has thoughts about divine objects is Tabanbu.
Has the Taban tribe been completely wiped out now? Hehe...he deserves it. I have warned them a long time ago that they shouldn’t worry about things they shouldn’t. If they don’t listen, they deserve it!”
Ange blinked and sat down between the two of them curiously. Regardless of the atmosphere, he asked directly: "Two mothers-in-law, what kind of treasure are you talking about?"
"Oh, is this Anlu's son?" Granny Zhu pinched Ange's face, touched it from his forehead to his chin, pinched his nose hard, and suddenly his face showed a kind look, and said cheerfully, "Everyone
It is said that a son is lucky to follow his mother. A stinky guy like your father, who is so tall and thick, has no idea how lucky he is to marry a lady like your mother. Fortunately, you look like your mother, you are pretty and clean, but you don't look like a bandit.
, are you going to be laughed at if you go out to rob on weekdays? Hahahahaha..."
"Uh..." Ange didn't know the old woman in front of him at all, but he had heard of the Kamani tribe. They were a group of sand bandits in the Southern Desert. However, there was no doubt that the female priests of the two tribes were related to each other.
What kind of conflict was there? They really hadn’t interacted with each other for nearly thirty years. They didn’t even attend the Treasure Thief’s Party. Thinking of this, Ange turned his attention to his Granny Kan. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he blurted out
Asked, "Is it possible that the conflict between the two of you thirty years ago led to the quarrel between Andretu and Kamani?"
"Hmph." Granny Zhu did not deny it, pointing at Granny Kan's nose and scolding, "At the treasure thief's gathering thirty years ago, I once observed the trajectory of an Emperor Star disappearing in a flash. At that time, I
Let me tell you, the blood of the emperor is about to be exhausted. Forget it if you don’t believe it. You still go around saying that I am alarmist! Huh, I thought you were the only one among hundreds of female priests who had some talent. Who knew you were also mediocre and incompetent? Really
It’s a waste that I have treated you like a sister for so many years and even told you these secrets.”
Granny Kan pursed her lips, obviously she was really wronged by what she said, but she still retorted unwillingly: "How can it be thirty years, twenty-nine years, it is obviously twenty-nine years!"
Xiao Qianye listened carefully, and was also secretly thinking about the mystery hidden in the conversation between the two. Twenty-nine years ago... it should have been the year when Tianzun Emperor Mingxi was born. At that time, the treasure thief's daughter
Ji had already observed the appearance of the Emperor Star, and even sensed that the Emperor's blood was about to end?
Ange had also noticed that there was something hidden in the words of the two old men. He held one by one hand, put on a harmless smile and asked: "Good mother-in-law, please tell me what is going on, okay? I
After all, he is the leader of a treasure thief tribe. He only robs in the desert every day instead of doing business. No, no, it’s time for me to get to know the real treasure thief. My dear mother-in-law, please stop arguing.
, tell me what’s going on?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the two old men raised their hands and knocked hard on his forehead at the same time, cursing in unison: "Isn't robbery bad? Do you want to imitate Tabanbu and steal treasures, you brat?"
An Ge touched his forehead in aggrieved manner, feeling that he meant nothing, so he simply shut his mouth and sat obediently. Granny Zhu suddenly let out a long sigh, stared at Xiao Qianye meaningfully for a long time, and finally waved her hand and said: "
That’s all, I won’t hide anything from you at this point in my destiny. I want to ask you young people over there, have you read Fei Yuan’s history books?”
Xiao Qianye looked at her doubtfully and replied: "If it is official history, I have studied it since I was a child. If it is unofficial history... I was born in the imperial capital and I am not allowed to read those things."
"From the imperial capital?" Although Granny Zhu was a female priest, in recent years, as she got older and older, she rarely wandered around with her clan members. She looked at the young man in front of her seriously, and she really didn't know who this person was.
Feiyuan is currently the number one fugitive, but she doesn't seem to care about these things. She slowly stood up with a cane, pacing while recalling the past, and whispered: "According to official history, the founding emperors and empresses were all in
Dacheng passed away forever, but what happened behind him is all a mystery, and the ten cronies who accompanied him have also lost their whereabouts since then, and have never appeared in this land again."
"Hey, old lady, do you really want to tell them these things?" Grandma Kan stopped her sternly, her hands like deadwood trembled violently for a moment, and Grandma Zhu snorted disdainfully, "I'm already at this age, it doesn't matter if I live a few days less.
, you can’t really bring everything into the coffin, right?”
Grandma Kan hesitated to speak, and sighed after a long while. Instead, she continued: "That's right, since twenty-nine years ago, there have been no new female sacrifices in the tribe of hundreds of treasure thieves.
, this is the end of the emperor's blood, and there is no need for anyone to keep the secret anymore, hey... Ange, all the treasure thieves who are still in Feiyuan are descendants of the ten former confidants. They know
The emperor and empress also know the secret of the blood of the two gods. In order to hide this secret forever, they chose to stay away from the imperial capital and political disputes, and decided not to appear on this floating island again."
"But they didn't overestimate their capabilities so much that they thought that future generations could keep this secret forever. In fact, before all ten people passed away, the first traitor had already appeared. This person's name was 'Rui Zhou', Ta Ban.
They are the original ancestors of the tribe, but as time slowly passes, there are always people who choose to abandon their original intentions. After all, with the blood of the emperor, they can influence the political power or even replace it." Granny Zhu answered with a smile, looking at the few people helplessly.
, "The secret of the blood of the emperor is still slowly spreading, and the descendants of these people are also growing. Each of them is encircling their territory and becoming king. More and more tribes of treasure thieves are born. The royal family is also alerted and sends troops.
I dug three feet into the ground and searched for two thousand years. Fortunately, the underground palace was blessed by the two gods and everything was fine. This crazy obsession slowly faded away. The treasure thief had gained nothing for hundreds and thousands of years, and he was gradually forced to
He changed his career and became a bandit."
Ange grinned in embarrassment. His father did say something similar to him when he was still alive - with so many mouths, there is always something to eat. Instead of digging for an illusory and legendary god, it is better to concentrate on robbing the things passing by.
Caravans, what are you doing as treasure thieves? Sand bandits have a much better future than treasure thieves!
Granny Zhu continued: "The Taban tribe has never given up. Four years ago, they stole the colorful stones from the Temple of the Sun. They made the imperial capital furious and ordered to suppress the bandits. You, An Lietu, are also blessed with great fortune.
Not only did he not die in the suppression of bandits, but he also became a desert marquis. Ange, seize the time to live the last stable days. The blood of the emperor will be broken, and Feiyuan's future is unpredictable. Twenty-nine years
I've said it before, but no one believed me at the time. Huh, do you believe it now? But it's too late."
"Mother-in-law, where did you know these things?" Ange endured the shock in his heart and held their hands in confusion. The two old people, who had not been in contact with each other for thirty years, sighed at the same time and said in a low voice, "Girl Priestess"
One job is to pass on this memory. Only after the previous female priest dies, will this memory directly enter the successor's mind. This is a forbidden technique left by the ten ancestors. The human heart is really complicated.
, they don’t want this piece of history to disappear completely, and they don’t want to publicize it too much and cause competition. They just want this kind of rhetoric to become a legend that is both true and false. According to the forbidden technique, this piece of history cannot be told outside, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what?" Ange's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously exerted force on his hands. The two old men looked at each other, both with indifferent expressions, and replied casually, "What else can we do? We are already at this age.
, the blood of the emperor was also taken away, it doesn’t matter if I say it now.”
Xiao Qianye thought about these words and sighed in her heart. This emperor's blood was really deliberately left by Xiyu in order to save the blood of future generations, but she also really gave up thousands of years of painstaking efforts to save an unrelated person.
Once it was all in vain, fate... was it really just like what she said at the time, that she felt that the two gods of the sun and the moon and A Xiao were destined to be secretly destined?
Ange was extremely anxious and was still asking how to resolve the ancient magic. Xiao Qianye rubbed his brows and walked over. His face flashed with gentleness for a moment, and his words sounded more like another person's tone.
As the two old men touched their foreheads gently, and with the movement of his fingertips, something wonderful slowly disappeared from the old man's mind, he smiled lightly: "Don't worry, the confinement technique has been lifted, you two can let it go.
After so many years of hard work, let’s spend our remaining years peacefully.”
An Ge quickly winked at An Ning and asked her to help the two old people go to the wing to rest. Then he suddenly straightened his back and stood up and looked directly into Xiao Qianye's eyes. The outspoken sand bandit looked at him seriously.
