Chapter 818 Extra: Responsibility From Blood
Gu Xixi and Yun Morong exchanged a quick look and shook their heads at the same time: "No!"
This matter cannot be admitted at all.
If their family knew, they would almost never come back from that primitive tribe, and they would never even think about going out again!
The Yun family's attitude has always been very firm!
The two daughters were lost and found. For the Yun family, nothing was more important than their daughters' safety.
"I've seen that altar before." Mr. Yun really didn't think too much and just kept talking to himself: "That tribe is divided into two parts. One part has no contact with the outside world all their lives and has always lived there. In their territory, there are only a few people who have contact with outsiders, but they have very little contact with them. Apart from some necessary academic exchanges, they never have any personal relationships with outsiders.”
Gu Xixi's eyes moved: "Dad, how did you think of getting to know this tribe? From what you say, they don't want to communicate with you at all. How did you find out?"
"Oh, well, naturally it's because the other party wants to buy some of our Yun family's medicines." Mr. Yun said casually: "Our Yun family's medicines are world-famous. Those who want to seek medical treatment for those difficult and complicated diseases Anyone who asks about medicine will definitely ask our Yun family if we have such a medicine."
Mr. Yun looked proud, this is the charm of the Yun family.
"So dad just had a chance to interact with people from that tribe?" Yun Morong lowered his eyes and poured tea for Mr. Yun with his own hands: "Have dad ever been to that tribe?"
"No." Mr. Yun immediately shook his head and said, "Their tribe has set up a restriction. Without the permission of their high priest, outsiders cannot find the location of their tribe, and people in the tribe cannot leave the place he has set up. maze."
Sure enough!
That day in the primitive jungle, the high priest clearly led them there intentionally!
Yun Morong nodded slightly at Gu Xixi, saying that his guess was most likely correct.
There is indeed something wrong with this high priest!
There are also problems with his cooperation with Yin Sichen!
"That tribe has existed for thousands of years, and it is indeed a very miraculous thing that it still exists." Mr. Yun said: "Their high priest is also very miraculous. He has some abilities that are difficult to accept by common sense, although they In the sacrificial text, it is mentioned that the high priest is a person who can communicate with the heaven and earth and use the power of the gods. This sentence is true, but he must have some kind of ability. "
Gu Xixi sighed softly in his heart.
Isn’t it just that he has some kind of ability?
Being able to control souls is already scary, okay?
"If you can avoid dealing with such people, it's best not to deal with them." Mr. Yun made a concluding speech: "Xixi, hehe."
"Huh?" Gu Xixi and Yun Morong looked up at the same time.
"Dad, I'm content with just you two children in this life." Mr. Yun took one of his daughters by the hand and said, "Dad doesn't ask you to do anything earth-shattering. He just wants you to be safe."
"Dad." Gu Xixi said with a smile: "Aren't we very good now? Si Chen and I have a group of children. Although my sister is newly married, Jiang Yihai is very kind to her! The Jiang family is not so friendly. My sister is as comfortable as she was when she was married to her daughter-in-law. What else do you have to worry about?"
"Yes, ordinarily, I really have nothing to worry about." Mr. Yun sighed and said, "But, I always have something on my mind. You came back this time to find your grandmother, maybe it's because you have something on your mind. ? Even if you don’t tell me, I can actually guess that you are here for the next generation of astrologers, right?”
The smiles on Gu Xixi and Yun Morong's faces dropped: "Dad..."
Mr. Yun waved his hands and said: "Both of you are familiar with the history of our Yun family. Our Yun family all intermarried within us a long time ago. Only in this way can we ensure the inheritance of the bloodline. On the one hand, on the other hand, because only our family Only people will be willing to pay for the protection of the family. Every generation of astrologers must devote their lives to the Yun family. This is the principle."
Yun Morong lowered his eyes and nodded: "Dad, I understand."
"Neither Yu Yan nor Yi Nuo have obviously inherited this ability." Mr. Yun said: "Then the only possibility is your child. You are now married to Jiang Yihai, the young mistress of the Jiang family. Ordinarily, As long as you are an astrologer, you must be named Yun and return to the Yun family. Will you agree?"
Yun Morong hasn't thought about this problem yet.
She was only worried about her child now and didn't want her to be related to the mysterious high priest. As for her last name, she really hadn't thought about it yet.
Gu Xixi immediately said: "Dad, it's still a little early for this matter, my sister is not pregnant yet!"
"There are some things. Let's say hello to the Jiang family in advance." Mr. Yun picked up the tea cup and took a sip, like flowing water, indescribably chic and elegant.
But his words weighed heavily on Yun Morong's heart, making her inexplicably anxious.
"My sister doesn't just give birth to one child." Gu Xixi calmly held Yun Morong's hand and said to Mr. Yun: "My sister is not like me. Her body was destroyed by drugs. She can give birth to two children. It’s time to burn incense. With our Yun family taking care of her, my sister is young, so she can have as many children as she wants! I don’t think there’s anything wrong with choosing a child named Yun. "
"It's up to you to communicate about this matter." Mr. Yun nodded and said.
"Dad!" Yun Morong couldn't help but said: "Why are you so confident that the new generation of astrologers must be my child? There are so many branches in our Yun family, won't it be one of them?"
Mr. Yun immediately raised his hand and pointed to the attic above.
Gu Xixi understood instantly: "Is this the result of grandma's divination? So, my sister's... child will definitely be the next generation of astrologers?"
Yun Morong's heart beat faster.
The worst ending is nothing more than this.
If her child will be the next generation of astrologers, then... will the high priest of that tribe have ideas about the child?
"Are you two hiding something from me?" Seeing that both of his daughters looked unhappy, Mr. Yun couldn't help but ask, "Even if there is an astrologer, it is still our Yun family's child. Why are you so nervous? Could it be that our Yun family can still wrong your child?"
"Dad, we don't mean that." Gu Xixi said quickly, "My sister, she just feels that... Will the child have any pressure with this identity? You also know that parents always want their children to grow up easily and happily."
Mr. Yun is a man after all, and his heart is not so delicate. After hearing his daughter's explanation, he believed it: "You are a mother now, so you can naturally understand our feelings."
"Yes." Gu Xixi immediately smiled and said, "Dad, do you think that if my sister's child inherits this bloodline, will he have to be an astrologer?"
"Yes." Mr. Yun was unambiguous on this point: "This is a responsibility from the bloodline. Our Yun family has been protected by astrologers for thousands of years. Speaking of this, our Yun family also has a very beautiful legend."
"What legend?" Yun Morong asked casually.
"According to records, about a thousand years ago, it was a time of chaos, with princes and kings fighting endlessly, and the people were living in poverty. At that time, the Yun family chose to lie dormant, but the Yun family's astrologer was invited by a prince to be a military advisor. He had to go because his sweetheart was selected to enter the palace to become the prince's woman. His sweetheart was the youngest daughter of the Yun family at the time, and his fiancée who grew up with him as a childhood sweetheart."
Gu Xixi and Yun Morong were immediately attracted by this story: "What happened next?"
"In order to prevent his fiancée from being selected, the astrologer took great pains and took the initiative to approach the prince's daughter. As a result, the daughter of the prince fell in love with him and insisted on marrying him. The astrologer told her that as long as she could make the youngest daughter of the Yun family lose the election, he would agree to marry her. The daughter of the prince agreed and really used means to make the youngest daughter of the Yun family lose the election. "
"In order to fulfill his promise, the astrologer married the daughter of the prince. But on the day of his wedding, he was told that his fiancée was seen by the prince before she even left the palace gate and was shocked by her beauty. He was then made a lady. And the one who designed all this was the daughter of the prince, the wife of the astrologer. "
Gu Xixi and Yun Morong's breathing stagnated.
They both had their own beloved husbands, and they could understand the feeling of powerlessness to struggle.
They were originally childhood sweethearts, and now one is the wife of the prince and the other is the son-in-law of the prince.
They can never be together again in this life.
This kind of pain and torture, this kind of struggle and despair, although Mr. Yun did not tell it, Gu Xixi and Yun Morong could taste it.
"It turns out that the daughter of the prince was jealous of the astrologer's obsession with the Yun family's youngest daughter, so she pretended to agree to help the astrologer, but secretly designed her father to meet the Yun family's youngest daughter and forcibly separated them with human ethics."
"Then, what happened next?" Gu Xixi asked Yun Morong again.
"Later, the day after the youngest daughter of the Yun family was named a lady, she ended her life with a white silk. This action angered the Hou King, who wanted to exterminate the entire Yun family. At this time, the astrologer stood up and was willing to use his lifelong knowledge to help the Hou King win the war in exchange for the safety of the Yun family."
"The Hou King agreed. The astrologer really fulfilled his promise and helped the Hou King to fight and sweep all the territories in the Yangtze River Basin. Just when the Hou King was preparing to spread the word of the heroes to dominate the world, the enemy suddenly appeared at the gate of the palace. Taking advantage of the Hou King's unpreparedness, a fire burned the entire palace to ashes. The astrologer jumped down from the city wall holding the tablet of his fiancée. Before he died, he swore that all future astrologers would never leave the Yun family and would dedicate their entire lives to atone for their sins."
