Chapter 25: The drama in the play, the people in the play
The main vein of the Ji family, Luoxue Pavilion.
This attic with beaded and jade curtains and carved beams and painted buildings was the resting place that Ji Hong gave to Xu Lian'er and her daughter when Ji Quexue was born.
"Magpie Snow, do you know about the return of the eldest son?"
Xu Lian'er looked worriedly at the girl on the couch who was playing with a true formula, her expression a little dignified.
Ji Quexue looked down at the mantra with her head lowered. Between her hands and the light dance, a ray of mysterious light appeared and condensed into a small and delicate fire lotus at her fingertips.
After a few breaths, she dissipated the fireworks in her hands, raised her head and said, "No need to worry, Grand Duke... Ji Yuenian has lost his cultivation and extinguished the fire of his heart. He Xuan Shangzhen gave him this position, he can't afford it. arrive."
After going through a lot of twists and turns in the past, Ji Quexue seems to have changed his personality, his eyes are very firm, and the cowardice and weakness in it have long disappeared without a trace.
Xu Lian'er sighed and said, "But he is the eldest son after all. Although it is difficult to ignite after the fire in his heart is extinguished, but in case..."
"Nothing in case," Ji Quexue stood up, her delicate and fair face became more and more beautiful against the background of the aqua blue dress, "Tomorrow, Ji Hong will go to the Heyun Temple to take this The place that belongs to me is completely determined."
"Que Xue, how can you call your father like that?" Xu Lian'er shook her head, her face a little unhappy.
Ji Quexue was silent for a moment, then walked up to Xu Lian'er, looked down at the woman who was half a head shorter than her, and said word by word, "From that day on, I won't recognize Ji Hong again. A cold-blooded and ruthless person is a father, and even if one day I succeed in mysticism, I will make him regret what he has done!"
"Magpie Snow! How can you think so!"
Xu Lian'er stared blankly at Ji Quexue, this daughter has become so unfamiliar at this time.
Ji Quexue leaned closer, her head full of blue silk hanging on Xu Lian'er's shoulders, and whispered in her ear: "Mother, you were also the eldest lady from the Xu family back then, if you weren't so cowardly and blindly obedient. And no opinion, my mother and daughter will not be so sad in Ji's house these years, compared to the cruel and ruthless Ji Hong, you are the culprit."
After that, she turned around and walked out of the attic.
Xu Lian'er stood alone in the empty Luoxue attic for a while, then fell on the couch and buried her head deeply in her arms.
Not long after, there were bursts of whimpering and low-pitched sobbing in the attic.
...
It's cold night again.
Ji Bugui flipped through an ancient book in the study, and couldn't help but admire secretly in his heart.
He couldn't even read a single page of such an obscure seal script book. But Young Master Ji marked the dozens of ancient books on the bookshelf on the west side. Obviously, Ji Yuenian had already read through these different kinds of ancient books more than once.
"Though people in Luzhou in the north are fond of killing, they only do it for the sake of making a living, and their temperament is clumsy and affectionate, and they don't practice much.
Reluctantly recognizing the ancient seal on it, Ji Bugui couldn't help shaking his head after reciting this sentence in a low voice, and said to himself: "This ancient book of Lao Shizi actually arranges Beiju Luzhou like this, it is extremely absurd, even Even the eldest son's annotations are a little confusing to me."
After he finished speaking, he put down the ancient book in his hand, and turned to look at the large table made of sandalwood by the window.
In the upper left corner of the table, many things are densely placed, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all available, which is obviously used by Ji Yuenian on weekdays.
Ji Bugui stepped forward, and just as he was about to flip through the scrolls on it, a low voice came from outside the study.
"My eldest son, the Patriarch invites you to the Zhenhai Hall."
The Zhenhai Hall is the core main building of the Ji family's main line. There is a main hall and six sub-halls. The Ji family's ancestral hall is located in the Juling Hall behind the Zhenhai Hall.
Ji Bugui paused and said, "Okay, I'll go over here."
The voice said again: "Also ask the eldest son to leave now."
Ji Bugui's eyes were a little embarrassed, but in his heart he felt more and more worthless for Ji Yuenian.
Although this person is respectful and observant on the surface, his tone is actually aggressive. After the dignified Ji family's eldest son has extinguished his heart, it is a little chilling to treat him like this.
"I know."
Ji Bugui thought of Ji Yuenian's explanation, suppressed his extra thoughts, pushed open the study and walked out.
The window sash of the attic was not closed, and the cold night wind swept into the hall, turning the yellowed pages of the ancient book with a rustling sound.
The obscure ancient books Ji Bugui had just put down were also gently closed, revealing the torn cover.
Five twisted seal characters are listed vertically on it, slightly glowing with golden light.
...
The main vein of the Ji family, Zhenhai Hall.
"Eldest son, go in."
Xu Jianghe, who was wearing black armor, looked at "Ji Yuenian" in front of him expressionlessly, and said lightly.
Ji Bugui glanced at him, stood under the hall door for a moment, and stepped into the brightly lit hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Ji Hong sitting on the highest seat of honor, and he couldn't help but feel a haze in his heart.
"Nian'er, how's your recovery?"
Ji Hong got out of his seat and walked slowly towards Ji Bugui.
After all, Ji Bugui is only a mortal person, and Ji Hong is quite majestic as the head of the family. At this moment, his body can't help but tremble slightly, and his mind is aware of an indescribable feeling of depression.
"Year?"
The ground in the Zhenhai Hall is divided into three layers, from high to low to the gate of the hall. Ji Hong stopped in front of Ji Bugui and stood on the ground on the second floor. If you don't return, you can't see Ji Hong's expression at all.
Ji Bugui calmed down, forced a smile, and said, "The head of the family...Father, I am better."
Ji Hong frowned slightly, as if he noticed something, but he didn't care. He reached out and patted Ji Bugui's shoulder, and said, "Nian'er, do you want revenge?"
"Vengeance?" Ji Bugui was a little puzzled.
Ji Hong turned slightly, let the lights in the hall illuminate Ji Bugui's bewildered face, and said solemnly: "Yes, when you were abolished and thrown into the Qingluan Mountains, you should have died without life. I don't know why I was able to return intact, but my heart was extinguished, and all my memories were lost, this revenge... must be avenged."
"Father, what do you mean by this?"
A streak of cool air permeated into the body from above the ghost robe, making Ji Wugui much more awake.
Ji Hong glanced at Ji Bugui and said softly: "Your memories of this life are all in your soul, if you want to take revenge, you can only try to take out some of the spells that are quite damaging to you. The memories before the Qingluan Mountains."
Ji Bugui noticed the slight trembling of the Soul Soul Ghost Clothes, and he felt a lot more at ease. He raised his head and said, "According to my father's will, what should I do?"
Ji Hong was silent for a moment, as if he was extremely reluctant, and sighed slightly.
Ji Bugui sneered, but still maintained respect on his face, and said: "Father, but it's okay to say, Nian'er has already been cultivated at this time. If you can avenge this revenge, it will save some face for my Ji family, Nian'er. Willing to!"
Ji Hong hesitated for a few breaths before opening his mouth and said, "For now, the only way to do this is to cast a soul-searching spell to split a part of your soul, so that you may be able to detect those memories."
Without any hesitation, Ji Bugui responded, "Okay!"
The Zhenhai Hall was extremely quiet, except for the "father and son", there was no half-person figure.
Ji Hong was a little surprised at Ji Bugui's decisiveness, thought for a moment, and then said: "There is one more thing, I don't know if I should talk about it as a father."
Ji Bugui sneered in his heart, but he didn't stop at all, and respectfully said, "Father, but it doesn't matter."
Ji Hong paused for a while and said, "Your heart fire has been extinguished, and there will be no chance for it to ignite. But if you can take down this sixth-grade fire that is attached to your soul when you split your soul, It is also a way to enhance the strength of my Ji family to use it as a father after refining it."
silence.
Ji Bugui didn't know what to do at this time, so he had to be silent.
Seeing that he seemed to be resisting, Ji Hong hurriedly said: "Nian'er, this matter must be done voluntarily, otherwise this kind of heart fire cannot be obtained as a father, and the Ji family is now weak in the ancient city of Taichu. How about you help as a father once?"
The soul of every creature is attached to the fire of the heart, but 99% of the creatures are unable to ignite it. However, the fire of the heart fire that is extinguished after the fire of the heart is ignited, can be swallowed up by the rest of the creatures to enhance the rank of the fire of the heart!
It's just that most of the living beings after the fire of their hearts are extinguished die directly, so there are not many opportunities to use this kind of harsh method.
Ji Hong's Heart Fire rank is only the seventh rank. If he can devour the sixth-rank Heart Fire that has been extinguished in "Ji Yuenian", then he is very likely to use this to improve his Heart Fire rank. You can even use this momentum to directly break into the Upper Realm of Returning to True!
All the flaws of "Ji Yuenian" were covered up by the ghost clothes. In Ji Hong's induction, there is indeed a fire in the soul that has been extinguished. This is also his The real purpose of calling "Jiyuenian" at this time!
It can even be said that when he first saw the "Ji Yuenian" that had extinguished his heart, this vicious thought had already surged in his heart.
Ji Bugui was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, when will my father decide to cast the spell?"
Ji Hong's eyes were a little excited, and it was only at this time that the master of the cultivation family who had returned to the first realm was able to remove his thick mask and reveal the truest side of his heart.
"I'm going to ask people to prepare now, and I'll cast a spell at midnight! Don't worry, Nian'er, after I take out my memory, I will definitely avenge you!"
After saying this, Ji Hong knew that something was wrong, he laughed dryly, and said, "Even if you split your soul, you won't necessarily die. Don't worry, you will do your best for your father to save your life!"
Obviously, in his eyes, "Ji Yuenian", who had lost all his memories at this time, can already be coaxed at will without disguise, without worrying about any consequences.
Ji Bugui nodded similiarly, and then retreated directly into the dark place of the main hall, sneering lowly.
Save your life?
Casting a spell to split the soul is the result of ten deaths and no life.
If the fire of the heart is plucked from the source of the soul, then the soul will be destroyed directly, and the true spirit will be reincarnated and reincarnated, and there will be no possibility of survival.
