Chapter 511 Atavism
Miao people, under the central altar.
This is a huge underground world. The entire Miao Clan, who knew of the existence of this place before, does not exceed ten people, each of whom is the core of the core members of the Miao Clan.
At the bottom and the center of the underground world, there is a circular pool of ten meters square, but the pool is not filled with water, but bright red blood. In addition to the strong smell of blood, there is also a A terrifying vicious air.
Around the pool, there are nine golden dragon heads facing the pool. There are bloodstains on the corners of the mouths of the nine dragon heads. The blood in the pool seems to flow from the dragon heads.
Above the pool, at the place where the tails of the nine golden dragons are connected, there is a jade bed, engraved with some mysterious and mysterious runes, full of mystery. In addition, there are small ravines on the jade bed , connected to the dragon's tail, there are still obvious bloodstains in the gully.
On the east stand, Miao Haoze stared intently at the jade bed with his hands behind his back. The light flickered in and out of his deep and gloomy eyes, and he seemed very excited.
"Grandpa." Suddenly, a weak voice came from behind Miao Haoze.
Miao Haoze turned around, and there was a girl in white standing behind her, with her head lowered and her hands clasped together, looking a little at a loss.
"Ling'er, what's the matter?" Miao Haoze asked gently with a doting look on his face.
This person is none other than Shui Ling'er.
Shui Ling'er hesitated for a moment, then raised her head to look at Miao Haoze's face, her big eyes looked extremely lifeless, and her face was extremely pale. Miao Haoze frowned, Shui Ling'er's current situation was really bad.
Asked: "Ling'er, are you sick, come, let Grandpa see."
Miao Haoze reached out to grab Shui Ling'er's hand, but Shui Ling'er avoided it subconsciously, and Miao Haoze felt even more strange. Although Shui Ling'er was not his own granddaughter, she was closest to him since childhood. He also loves this little girl very much, why does he look so raw now?
"Grandpa, do we really want to do that?" Shui Ling'er asked.
"What do you mean?" Miao Haoze asked suspiciously.
Shui Ling'er said: "It's just using Shui Xian'er's blood as an introduction, is it really necessary?"
Miao Haoze didn't answer directly, but paused and said, "Ling'er, do you know the real origin of Narcissus?"
Shui Ling'er shook her head ignorantly.
Miao Haoze said: "Actually, Shui Xian'er's family, the Shui Clan, was a family with our Miao Clan a long time ago. But because of some things, the ancestors of Shui Xian'er defected from our Miao Clan, created the Shui Clan, and later joined Lu family."
Shui Ling'er hurriedly said: "Doesn't that mean that Shui Xian'er, like me, has the blood of Mingyue's ancestors flowing in her body, why do you want to harm her?"
Miao Haoze's face trembled slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Ling'er, we are not trying to harm her, but she can be used by us."
Shui Ling'er still didn't understand, and asked: "We have collected the blood of forty-nine people of the same race, which is enough, why use her as medicine? Besides, we still need all her blood?"
Miao Haoze frowned, unexpectedly Shui Ling'er felt compassion, thought for a while and said, "Ling'er, come with me!"
After finishing speaking, Miao Haoze walked down from the stands, and then walked up the stairs to the top of the altar. Shui Ling'er, full of doubts and anxiety, followed closely behind Miao Haoze.
At the top, there is a small secret room, and this is the first time for Shui Linger to come here.
The entire secret room is semi-suspended, only connected by a spiral staircase.
Miao Haoze knocked seven times regularly on the stone door of the secret room, and the stone door suddenly retracted to the left, and suddenly a burst of smoke and fire came out from the stone room.
Inside this stone chamber is actually an ancestral hall. On the front wall, there is a portrait. The person in the portrait is dressed in white, with a bright moon above his head, like a nine-day fairy, lifelike and beautiful.
Shui Ling'er was stunned for a moment when she saw the portrait. The person in the portrait was actually very similar to her, and also extremely similar to Shui Xian'er.
To say the biggest difference is the age and temperament of the person in this portrait, just like Shui Ling'er ten years later, with a gentle and elegant temperament, but also a domineering look at the world. This is something that Shui Ling'er and Shui Xian'er do not have.
Only this portrait is enshrined here, and the incense candles inside are all immortal. After Miao Haoze walked in, he knelt on the futon and stood up after kneeling respectfully and respectfully facing the portrait three times and nine times. Seeing that Shui Linger was staring at the portrait in a daze, he reminded: "Linger, come quickly and pay respects. Ancestor Mingyue."
"Mingyue Ancestor?" Shui Ling'er suddenly thought of a lot, walked over to knelt down and kowtowed, and then stood up in a daze. During this time, Shui Ling'er's gaze never left the portrait.
After bowing to the portrait, Miao Haoze pulled Shui Ling'er away, returned to the previous stand and said, "I didn't want you to see the portrait of ancestor Mingyue so soon, but since you asked, I will I'll tell you the truth."
In Shui Ling'er's mind, the portrait she saw just now is still recurring.
Miaohaoze said: "In this world, it is very difficult for two people who look exactly the same, except for one reason." Miaohaoze deliberately paused, but Shui Linger did not ask, and continued: "That is Atavism."
"You and Narcissus both have different degrees of atavism, so the two of you are not twin sisters, but you look like twin sisters. It can be said that to a certain extent, you are one person."
Shui Ling'er trembled suddenly, quickly shook her head and said, "No, we are not alone."
Miao Haoze patted Shui Ling'er on the shoulder, comfortingly said: "I'm talking about a certain degree, for example, your appearance, the blood of the bright moon body flowing in your body, aren't they all exactly the same?"
"If you can combine the two of you into one, your atavism will become more thorough, and the blood of the moon body in your body will become more pure. This is why, it is the blood of Narcissus that must be used as medicine. She is an extremely crucial factor in this plan."
Shui Ling'er's face became even paler, and she asked with some fear: "After I completely return to my ancestors, am I still me?"
Although Shui Ling'er has always had a heart of reverence for Mingyue's ancestors, no one wants to be a substitute for others.
Miao Haoze smiled and said: "Silly girl, although all aspects of the phenomenon of complete atavism will become exactly the same as the ancestors, you are still you, and no one can replace you."
Shui Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Can you make Shui Xian'er draw only part of the blood instead of the whole body like everyone else?"
