Chapter 370 I'll Protect You

The old patriarch knew that he had only a few years to live. In the past ten years, he had relied on extremely precious materials and treasures to save his life. However, despite this, his body was getting worse day by day, and he was getting older day by day. .

But he couldn't bear to close his eyes. He didn't see the noble son that the saint said appeared, and he didn't see the blood curse of the Si family being lifted. He refused to close his eyes and had no face to see the saint.

Now, the one predicted by the saint has appeared, and her prediction is right.

Holy lady, you never make mistakes.

The old patriarch wiped the corners of his eyes, his face flushed with excitement.

Si Lengyue advised: "Old patriarch, you are not in good health, so don't get excited. Xixi, could you check his pulse and prescribe a prescription?"

She looked at Qin Liuxi with pleading in her eyes.

The old patriarch waved his hand: "No, this old slave has only a few years to live. If the old slave sees that the blood curse is broken, he will be able to live in peace and serve the Holy Lady underground."

Qin Liuxi said: "If this is the case, then it is more important to check the pulse. This blood curse does not mean that it can be solved immediately."

When the old patriarch heard this, he said, "Then I'll bother you, noble man."

Qin Liuxi stepped forward and put his fingers on his wrist. After a long while, he said, "Old Patriarch, you are in good health. Do you think your muscles and bones were tempered when you were a child?"

The old patriarch nodded, with a look of nostalgia on his face, and said: "When I was young, the Holy Lady gave me a medicated bath to strengthen my muscles and bones. I was also empowered by her with the sacrament. I also took the body-building pills made by her. Over the years, I have been doing the same. I have eaten a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and I have no serious illnesses or minor illnesses, just a few colds. This is all thanks to the Holy Lady."

Otherwise, how could he live to this fate?

Qin Liuxi looked at Si Lengyue and said: "The old patriarch has no physical illness, but he is old. This man is old. Even if he lives a long life, his body's internal organs will decline with the years. There is no cure for old diseases. "

Si Lengyue's face darkened slightly after hearing this, and her eyes looking at the old patriarch were a little sad.

The old patriarch smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter, no one is immortal. I have lived long enough. If I can see the blood curse broken, I will die without regrets. My young master does not need to feel sad for me."

Si Lengyue nodded.

Qin Liuxi also said: "The old patriarch is right. The most rare thing for a person is to be healthy and live a long life. If he is not deaf or blind, he will die without any disease in the future. That is a great blessing."

The old patriarch was even more happy when he heard this.

Si Lengyue stopped mentioning this and only talked about the opening of the clan land and the sacrifices. The old clan leader said that everything was ready and he could go to the clan land at any time.

Qin Liuxi said: "Then let's go and have a look."

The Si family's clan is located in Yinlou Peak. Over the past hundred years, in order not to disturb the souls of their ancestors, the Si family has long ago bought Yinlou Peak and the two nearby hills. The five villages and the entire five villages belong to the Si family. territory.

Qin Liuxi said: "You are not afraid that the imperial court and interested people will swallow up the Si family."

With all the financial resources shown by the Si family and even a jade mine, it can be said that the Si family is very wealthy. However, the Si family has only had an orphan girl for generations, so it is natural that people will covet it.

"There are still three nails in the broken ship. Although we no longer practice witchcraft, it does not mean that we have no ability to protect ourselves." Si Lengyue said quietly: "We orthodox no longer practice witchcraft, but it can be compared with Our Si family is closely related to shamans all over the country. Another point is that we also have business cooperation with the imperial court and some old-school aristocratic families. My mother dedicated a gold medal to the saint during his birthday. The mine was exchanged for a piece of Danshu Iron Deed."

Qin Liuxi staggered and turned to look at her: "Gold mine?"

Si Lengyue nodded.

"This is too arrogant. Your mother is very courageous." Qin Liuxi sighed.

Gold mine, anyone who is willing to give it will give it up, but Si Lengyue's mother was willing to give it up.

Qin Liuxi asked in a low voice: "We all have gold mines, jade mines, what else don't we have? Your Si family is as rich as the country."

Si Lengyue smiled bitterly: "It is not a good thing to be rich and rival the country. As you said, the more things you have, the more people will covet you. Since the time of the late emperor, he has wanted to marry the Si family."

Qin Liuxi's eyes flashed coldly and he sarcastically said, "Marriage?"

"Yes." Si Lengyue sneered: "It's just because of our short life. Otherwise, my mother would not give up a gold mine just because the one on the throne wants to accept my mother as his concubine."

Understand, that is to say, wanting to have a concubine is just a fake, but the purpose is still the gold mine.

"and you?"

"Me? Just look at how shameless they are." Si Lengyue looked cold and paused.

"The desires of the royal family are like a bottomless pit. Once there is a beginning, there will be a second and third time. Now that you are sixteen, if you have a suitable son-in-law, you must make a decision early." Qin Liuxi said.

Si Lengyue said nothing. In the past, she knew this was the way to go, but now, she didn't want to live according to the way of her ancestors.

Qin Liuxi suddenly felt a heavy burden on her shoulders, like a huge boulder that could not be moved away, and there were countless jackals and wolves around her.

She suddenly stretched out her hand, shook Si Lengyue's hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's hard for others to tell. If it were you, I would definitely be able to protect you. From now on, I will protect you!"

Si Lengyue smiled at her, with starlight in his eyes. He couldn't help but shake her hand and said, "I'm in a hurry, so I have no choice but to retreat to the clan. Look, we're here."

Qin Liuxi looked up and saw a huge cave in front of him. It was made of black iron as the door. On the door were the totems of the witch clan and some complicated incantations, which were simple and solemn.

Si Lengyue knelt down in front of the mountain gate, muttering something, then stood up and pressed the totem hard, revealing a keyhole inside. Then he and the old patriarch each took a key, put the two together, and inserted them into the keyhole.

There was a click, and then a groove appeared.

Si Lengyue cut her fingertips and dripped the blood from her fingertips into the groove. After a moment, the groove retreated and the mechanism started again with a clang.

The black iron door opened to both sides.

Qin Liuxi's mouth twitched.

"Please." Si Lengyue wrapped her fingertips with a handkerchief.

Qin Liuxi did not move, but took out a bottle the size of a finger from the cloth bag hanging from her waist, pulled Si Lengyue's hand, opened the bottle cap, and sprinkled the golden wound medicine on the wound.

Her movements were gentle and delicate, and the bleeding stopped quickly after the medicine was sprinkled.

Si Lengyue looked at her drooping eyebrows and felt that her always cold heart was injected with a trace of warmth, and the corners of her lips curled up.

Qin Liuxi wrapped her up again with a handkerchief, then looked up and said with disdain: "You ancestors, why can't you do anything else? Why do you have to use your own blood to set up a ban to open the door? Don't you feel pain when you cut your hand? This is too stupid. Anyone who wants to break the door can get in as long as they catch you."

To set up a ban, you can use the secret method that is not passed down by the direct lineage. Why do you have to use blood? What if the blood is caught?

The pace has been a bit slow recently, and I have been adjusting the outline. Obviously, this is a story strung together by small units, not a main line. I hope I won't break down, because I really want to write it well. Limited ability is my problem. And the children who stop here, thank you for your support along the way, come and go as you please, no need to say goodbye~
