Chapter 383 How About Giving Birth to a Descendant to Break the Curse?
Qin Liuxi did not ask for Xiong Er and the others’ thank-you gift. To be more precise, she asked for it but did not accept it. She only asked them to give it all to the Wuyang tribe leader to buy sacrificial items for the camp.
This was also a thank-you gift for her and Si Lengyue’s troubles for a few days.
The Wuyang tribe leader naturally declined, but Qin Liuxi insisted again and again, so he had to thank him.
Xiong Er reported Qin Liuxi’s refusal to Jing Xiaosi, who frowned and waited for a day. He wanted to thank them in person and ask what he needed, but was told by the Wuyang tribe leader that Qin Liuxi and the others had already left.
Jing Xiaosi couldn’t tell what he felt in his heart. He felt as if he had been slapped in the face and felt ashamed.
Xiong Er was unusually smart and said, "Xiao Si, didn't the clan leader say that she is a Kun Daoist from Qingping Temple in Licheng, Ningzhou? If she doesn't want this thank-you gift, then we should go to the Taoist temple in person to donate some incense oil, which can at least show our sincerity. In this world, which temple or Taoist temple doesn't want incense oil?"
Qingping Temple Patriarch: That's right, I want a lot, come quickly!
Jing Xiao Si rarely gave his cousin Xiong a look of approval. This big fool finally used his brain.
"You are right. If she doesn't want it, it's her business. We can't be ignorant of etiquette." Jing Xiao Si nodded and said, "Then let's stay for two more days and then go down the mountain to Licheng."
"Okay."
Qin Liuxi didn't know that Jing Xiao Si and the others had such a plan. She and Si Lengyue took the Yin Road directly and returned to the Si family's Wuzhai. After all, the matter of removing the curse had to be informed to the old clan leader and her father Si Tu.
This was a matter of gambling with life.
When Si Tu and the old patriarch heard the vicious method of removing the curse, their faces turned pale, and Si Tu burst into tears, tears flowing like water.
"You might as well kill me, your father, first." Si Tu cried and said, "Anyway, your mother has been waiting for a long time. I can be with her when I die, which is better than watching you die."
The old patriarch wanted to say something but stopped, but said nothing. He just took out the pipe with shaking hands, but he couldn't roll the cigarette, so he could only put the cigarette holder in his mouth.
"Dad, old patriarch, this is the only chance for our Si family." Si Lengyue said, "This is also the secret that the saint can break. Only Xixi is the only one who can solve the difficulties of our family."
"But it will be so painful to burn in the fire of karma. If you can't bear it, you will die." Si Tu cried.
Si Lengyue smiled bitterly and said, "If I don't try, how many years can I live? The Si family can't live past 25, so at most they can live to 25. I'm 16 this year and 17 next year. How many years can I live? Mom only lived to 21."
Si Tu froze.
"Dad, if I don't try, I won't even have a chance to live, but if I try, I can still have a glimmer of hope. If I can't resist, it's just death anyway, what's the difference between dying later?" Si Lengyue took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears and said, "Dad, with this glimmer of hope, would you rather watch me die than let me grab it?"
"Nonsense! How could Dad? I'm just saying, maybe there's another way!" Si Tu said anxiously.
Si Lengyue smiled faintly, "If there were another way, my clan wouldn't be so withered, and the saint wouldn't be able to see through the secret that pointed directly to Xixi."
Si Tu choked.
He understood the truth, but how could he watch his daughter suffer the pain of burning her body, which might lead to death?
But he couldn't bear to see his daughter end up like her ancestors.
Si Tu was in a dilemma and asked the stupidest question: "Can Daddy bear it for you? Isn't there some evil magic in Xuanmen that can replace life or something? Can we ask someone to do this magic?"
"Dad!" Si Lengyue shouted sternly: "We are the descendants of white witches, and we can only punish evil and righteousness. Our Si family has ended up like this because of evil spells. You actually want that kind of mess, do you want my life to be shorter? That will be punished by God!"
Si Tu shrank his neck after being scolded. Seeing Si Lengyue angry, he couldn't help but pull her sleeve aggrievedly and said: "Dad was thinking wrongly for a moment, don't be angry, Daddy just can't bear it."
"You can't think about that, evil magic harms others and yourself, you must not have that kind of thought." Si Lengyue sighed.
"I know."
Si Lengyue looked at him like an eggplant hit by frost, withered to the point that only the skin was left. She couldn't help but sigh and said, "Dad, there is no hope if you don't try. I will definitely make it through. Believe me."
Si Tu cried again: "I believe you. I don't believe that the fire of karma will be gentle."
It is said that the wicked will be burned by the fire of karma in hell. It is terrible to think about it, but what did his daughter do? She is beautiful and kind, and she has never done anything evil. Why should she suffer such pain?
The old patriarch said: "Master, have you made up your mind?"
Si Lengyue nodded: "Old patriarch, you are the only one who is still alive and has been with the saint. No one knows her witchcraft better than you. I believe that she is willing to suffer the backlash and reveal the secrets of heaven."
The old patriarch naturally knew the saint's ability, but could a mere mortal body withstand the fire of karma?
If he didn't try, he would indeed let this only chance slip away, and Si Lengyue would die anyway.
The old patriarch gritted his teeth: "When will we start to remove the curse?"
"We still need to make some preparations. Xixi needs to prepare some medicines to protect me. I also need to borrow some external objects to reduce the pain." Si Lengyue was silent for a moment and said: "In addition, old patriarch, the so-called merits can offset thousands of sins. I want to use half of the Si family's property for charity to offset some of the curse."
The old patriarch's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea."
Si Tu said: "Is half enough? How about more? It's a pity that Gong was blind and made a mistake, so he used such a vicious curse. In the end, we have to spend money to avoid disasters and sins. God is so unfair."
Si Lengyue and the old patriarch coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed. The person who was mistaken was sent by their Si family.
Everything is cause and effect.
"Dad, there's no need to go into details about the right and wrong, just do what we should do." Si Lengyue looked at the two of them and said, "Give away half of the family property, and you have to plan the other half carefully, just in case I'm gone..."
"Don't say it!" Si Tu screamed and covered her mouth, "Don't say these unlucky words."
Si Lengyue saw the great panic and fear on his face, and her heart ached, and she pulled his hand down, "Okay, I won't say it."
Si Tu breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and said, "Anyway, there's no set date for the removal of the curse, Yue'er, why not postpone it for a year? In this year, you quickly find someone to sleep and give birth to a child, so that the Si family will have a successor."
Si Lengyue: "..."
Dad, your heart changes so quickly.
Isn't giving birth to a child just in case, afraid that she can't resist and dies?
Didn't you say unlucky words?
