Chapter 371 Everyone loves everyone, but birds see shit
Walking out of the long and redundant road, you can see a valley where wooden houses are arranged in a patchwork pattern. At the highest point is a building with a golden roof. The sun shines on it, reflecting the dazzling golden light. There is a small waterfall on the mountain peak, with splashes of water, rising water vapor, and a rainbow across it, surrounded by clouds and mists that are about to disperse in the morning. This scene is like a fairyland.
In the valley, there is no one walking around. It is like a forgotten paradise, silent for a hundred years, as if welcoming guests for the first time, and there are groups of birds chirping and flying in the valley.
Chirp a few.
Qin Liuxi built a tent between her eyebrows, and something flew towards her against the light, colorful and long tail.
The bird flew close, and it was only then that it was a colorful bird, with colorful feathers, a red beak, and a pair of eyes as bright as obsidian, which could make out a human figure.
The colorful bird flew around Qin Liuxi a few times, singing crisply, as if welcoming her. Finally, it boldly stopped on Qin Liuxi's shoulder and looked sideways at it.
The old patriarch was even more excited when he saw it, and said: "This is the sacred object of our Wu clan, the five-color bird. It is colorful and hard to see at ordinary times. When you come, it will appear. It must welcome you."
Si Lengyue was also very surprised, and said: "In all these years, I have only seen it three times in total, and they were all during the family sacrifice."
Qin Liuxi smiled and said: "It can be seen that I am loved by everyone, and birds come to see birds, it..."
Poof.
Qin Liuxi paused, looking at the pile of fresh bird droppings slipping down his shoulder, his face darkened.
Si Lengyue chuckled and covered her mouth.
The old patriarch and others: "..."
This is a bit embarrassing.
Qin Liuxi stared at the innocent-looking five-color bird, and quietly said: "I think that if you stew it with the ginseng whiskers of small ginseng, eating it will definitely increase your lifespan."
Five-Colored Bird was excited: I couldn't hold back the chrysanthemum in a moment of excitement, as for?
Seeing Qin Liuxi stretching out his claws, it was so frightened that it flapped its colorful feathers and flew away.
The old patriarch stepped forward with his cane, and said, "Master, go change into clean clothes first?"
Si Lengyue also said: "I also have a place to live in the valley, I left some clothes behind, can I change there?"
"No need." Qin Liuxi took out a talisman from his sleeve, drew a new anti-filth talisman on the talisman, and burned it. The wet bird droppings on his body disappeared, and the clothes were as clean as they had been washed.
Everyone watched with eager eyes, and looked at Qin Liuxi's eyes with a little more awe.
No one in the Si family has practiced witchcraft, and other disciples have gone everywhere, so most people in the village have never seen such supernatural powers.
Only the old patriarch, his heart became more and more at ease, Qin Liuxilu is capable, and he must be the noble son who can break the blood curse in the mouth of the saint.
A group of people went up again.
Si Lengyue introduced to Qin Liuxi that the building with the golden roof is the holy temple of the Wu clan. There is also a holy temple behind the temple, which enshrines the ancestors and disciples of the Wu clan.
Qin Liuxi looked at the valley, and said: "There is still a faint auspicious aura in the valley, it must be the magic circle blessed by the witch power of your ancestors."
Si Lengyue: "You can't hide it from your eyes."
Qin Liuxi said: "This auspicious aura is already very weak, if it disappears..."
Si Lengyue understood what she meant. If she disappeared completely, then the Si family would have no protection, not to mention the family, and what they owned would fall apart.
"If this is the case, that is the fate of my family."
Sijia’s sacrifice is a big one every ten years, but this year is just a small one. It is not as grand as the big one, but it is also well-prepared and solemn.
When we arrived at the small square in front of the temple, there were many people among them. They were all the people who guarded the valley. Go out of the valley, unless the head of the house and the old patriarch agree.
If there are lords who don't want to, they can also die in the world. Today's Lord Shougu, the oldest of them is 70 years old, he can be regarded as the great-grandfather of Si Lengyue.
Everyone showed fiery eyes on Qin Liuxi's arrival. This is the noble son who the Holy Maiden predicted would pull the Si family out of the century-old blood curse.
Si Lengyue discussed with the others about offering sacrifices, while Qin Liuxi walked into the temple. The decoration inside was not luxurious, but rather simple and solemn. The murals, there is a fist-sized pearl in the circle, the walls are also painted with murals, Qin Liuxi looked at them from the left, one by one, his eyes narrowed.
The Wu clan has a long history and a long history, and this story chain in the temple is the history of the origin of the Baiwu family.
Qin Liuxi looked at the past bit by bit, and pieced together the story from the scenes in the painting, stunned to piece together a complete Si family witch history, from the origin to the decline, to the support of generations of female households, and it came to an abrupt end.
"If I can survive, I will make it up from here." Si Lengyue stood beside Qin Liuxi at some point, pointed to the part of the wall that hadn't been painted, and said, "From here, rise again."
Qin Liuxi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "If I helped, remember to draw me better."
Si Lengyue smiled: "Okay."
She led Qin Liuxi to the middle of the temple, made a seal with both hands, pointed at the statue obliquely and said, "This is Si Qing, the saint of our clan."
Qin Liuxi looked at it, surprised: "Why are you so similar?"
"They all say that I am the reincarnation of a saint." Si Lengyue took sandalwood and lit it, held it between her eyebrows and worshiped three times, then put it in the incense burner, looked at the exquisite statue and said, "I don't know if it is a reincarnation." If so, then how talented she is, she can predict that I will meet you. But such a person died of a blood curse."
"No wonder I see the way the old patriarch looks at you. There is always a trace of mixed emotions that I don't understand. It is nostalgic, loving and distressed, as if looking at someone through you. It turns out that it is because of her."
Si Lengyue smiled shallowly: "He has been brought up by the Holy Lady since he was three years old, and he has admiration and admiration for the Holy Lady. Until her death, he never left her for half a step. The feelings are naturally extraordinary."
Qin Liuxi understands that for the old patriarch, the saint is like his mother, and it must be his only belief.
He can live to this age, is it not because of the support of this belief?
"Patriarch, it's time to go to the holy temple to offer sacrifices." Wu Sang came forward and said respectfully.
Si Lengyue said to Qin Liuxi: "The holy temple does not allow outsiders to set foot, so I will come as soon as I go? After the sacrifice, I will take you to see the letter left by the saint. The cabinet over there is the historical records of our family." , you can read one or two by yourself.”
Qin Liuxi smiled and said hello.
