I don't want love games

172 Chapter 172. Gourd Bite

When Xia Shu was stabbed, the rest of the elders also reacted, but after they confirmed Xia Shu's death, the elder who attacked Xia Shu had disappeared.

Xia Yi stayed in this timeline for another two days, and it wasn't until the third day that the villagers found the elder who attacked Xia Shu.

Xia Yi then came to a pothole in the northern mountain, the elder was in the pit, his eyes were closed tightly, and there were densely packed small holes on his body, in which dark red blood flowed.

"It must have been silenced by someone behind the scenes!" The villagers speculated.

To this sentence, Xia Yi half agreed.

He looked to his right, where stood a short and thin boy, that was Xia Yuan, another young master besides Xia Shu and Xia Yi, who was also Xia Qing's master, who was responsible for Xia Shu's death. Behind the scenes.

This incident must have been caused by him.

Taking a deep look at Xia Yuan who was secretly teasing with the female subordinate, Xia Yi looked away.

He looked around again, and found a woman from the Royal Sister family, that was Xia Ke, the fourth young master.

Xia Ke also noticed Xia Yi. She came to Xia Yi and said, "What do you think? Who ordered the second elder?"

Her voice was full of maturity just like her appearance. Looking at her, Xia Yi couldn't help but think of Fang Bei from the Green Snake Club.

"The second elder is not necessarily ordered." Xia Yi replied.

"How do you say?" Xia Ke raised his eyebrows.

Xia Yi remembered again that he held Xia Qing back the previous time, but Xia Shu was still kidnapped.

That's because the little doll girl turned into Xia Qing.

The second elder may have been replaced before the ceremony started.

"You mean someone pretended to be the Second Elder?" Although Xia Yi didn't get an answer, Xia Ke continued, "I've never heard of such a bloodline."

"Maybe it's evil."

"This is impossible. With the protection of the ancestor gods, no ghosts can approach the village."

After hearing Xia Ke's words, Xia Yi frowned. Compared to herself as a fake young master, Xia Ke was the real young master. She said that there would be no ghosts entering the village, so there really shouldn't be any.

It's not a ghost, and it's not a ghost, so what is it?
"A corpse that can turn into someone else's?" Xia Yi asked again.

"When performing the ceremony, all the corpses will be removed." Xia Ke once again denied Xia Yi's guess.

Xia Yi had no choice.

Forget it, whatever it is, I just need to be able to complete the ceremony.

Thinking of this, Xia Yi relaxed.

It's just a game. It's hard to find a clue, but it doesn't need to be too long. I'm not in control of everything.

And this incident is not completely without clues. The little girl who met Xia Qing that night and hugged the doll was a breakthrough.

But don't worry, the most important thing is to continue the ceremony.

Reading the file back to October [-]th, the day before the ceremony, when Xia Shu arrived at night, Xia Yi warned the girl to be careful of the second elder's attack.

If Xia Yi and Xia Shu were just ordinary siblings, Xia Shu would not have believed Xia Yi, but Xia Shu's affection for Xia Yi was 93 points.

"I will pay attention." Xia Shu had no doubts, nor did she ask how Xia Yi knew.

The next day, the ceremony was held as normal.

This time, unlike the previous world line, Xia Yi met the mother of this body before the ceremony started.

The woman was waiting for Xia Yi not far from the attic door. Xia Yi stepped forward, greeted him in a normal way, and thought about why this time was different from the previous world line.

Is it because I reminded Xia Shu?
"Something happened." The woman and Xia Yi said, "The ley lines were attacked last night. Your awakening ceremony may fail."

Xia Yi didn't care about earth vein attacks or anything like that, but Xia Yi was very concerned about the fact that the awakening ceremony might fail.

Was it because Xia Yuan knew about what he reminded Xia Shu, so Xia Yuan did this deliberately to disgust himself?
Xia Yi thought of this possibility.

"Go, there is still a high probability of success." After leaving these words, the woman left the attic.

Xia Yi entered the attic, just like before, performing the ceremony.

At the last step, the second elder came out to attack Xia Shu again, but was stopped by the third elder next to him, and the rest of the elders also rushed forward after reacting, but they still couldn't keep the second elder.

Why did the second elder still come to attack?Has my warning to Xia Shu not been exposed?What happened to the leylines?

Xia Yi was puzzled.

After the episode, the ceremony continued. Xia Shu poured the water from the long wooden spoon on Xia Yi's body.

The water was very hot, and the part of Xia Yi's body where the water flowed also became hot. The heat penetrated deep into his skin and into his blood vessels, and his blood slowly boiled.

What followed was severe pain, but compared to the previous methods of death, this pain was acceptable.

Beside, the nine elders looked at Xia Yi, their eyes were originally curious and ridiculed, but slowly turned into admiration.

They whispered in low voices:

"Yi boy actually didn't scream at all!"

"The older you get, the more your blood boils, and the pain is excruciating!"

"Not at all, just like me back then!"

"Hey, I remember someone passed out from the pain all of a sudden!"

"Can the matter of the old man be called fainting? It is a loss of consciousness. Losing consciousness is not called fainting!"

"Okay, maybe the ceremony failed, and the blood was not drawn out at all."

"Boy Xia Yi is still the clan after all, a slight change in the earth veins should not affect the awakening of the bloodlines."

"Look, it worked!"

The elders cast their eyes on Xia Yi again, and they saw the phantom of a khaki gourd gathering around Xia Yi.

"There is actually a shadow. Shuya didn't have such a clear shadow when she was a child, right?"

"Girl Xia Shu is nine years old, and Xia Yi is already this old, so he's quite well-behaved!"

"You can't say that, after all, you just awakened."

Not paying attention to the whispers of the elders, Xia Yi's eyes were dark at this time. He found that he was in the same dark space as when he saw the green snake in Yuqi City.

In the space, there is a khaki gourd that is one person tall.

Under the gourd, there was a big mouth full of sharp teeth, which opened and closed, biting hard on his shoulder.

!!!

Suddenly waking up, Xia Yi found that she was already lying on the bed.

Opening the curtains, it was already pitch black outside, and looking at the bedside, the little maid was lying there, soundly asleep.

Is the ceremony complete?
What kind of changes have taken place in yourself?
He clicked on the system panel.
