[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

Closing her eyes, the despair of nowhere to escape in the heavy rain seems to be vivid in her mind. Shen Xi didn't even know what happened at that time, her intuition made her choose to believe the words of her brother who has always loved her, and follow him to leave this place...

Although they soon discovered that they had nowhere to escape.

So... now?

Shen Xi is still Shen Xi, the daughter of High Priest Ziwei in Liuyue City, and the sister of the eldest son of High Priest Ziwei, but with an extra memory... an extra memory belonging to the previous life, that's all.

Looking around in a daze, the ancient circular stone room is decorated with light yellow and light green curtains. Some literacy albums and spell enlightenment scrolls are placed in the hollowed-out grid on the wall. The thick and soft velvet blanket insulates the cold stone floor. There are quite a few bulging pillows scattered here...very, very familiar, belonging to his own room.

Shen Xi slowly closed her eyes, feeling absurd as if she had passed away.

The ancient tribes who were born in a place with strong fresh air and believed in Shennong lived in Liuyue City, which was closed to the sky for thousands of years in northern Xinjiang, and the sacred tree Jumu that supported the whole city. They lived without drinking or eating with the power of divine blood. Severe diseases caused by turbid air erosion... For those who lived in the godless era in their previous lives and did not even have basic beliefs and only followed suit and went to temples to burn incense before the college entrance examination, it is simply overthrowing the three views and rebuilding in situ without giving demolition subsidies.

Could it be that the burning of divine blood also has the effect of removing the forgotten DEBUFF of Meng Po Tang?

She twitched the corners of her lips, wanting to laugh at herself, but her body, which hadn't recovered from the burning pain of the divine blood, couldn't even complete such a small movement.

Thinking of the past few years of living as a real loli before being sent to Jumu, the villain in Shen Xi's heart couldn't help hiding her face: It turns out that she also had such a natural soft and cute time... I can say something with my chest up high Elementary school students are amazing!

Well, back to the topic, diseases will not be eroded selectively because of age, status, strength... These factors, even innocent children who don't know the world, can't escape the situation of being sick. Then, together with his elder brother Shen Ye who was also sick, he was sent into the Jumu core by his own father, where he was burned in the hot blood of God like magma...

The reason for this situation is that Cang Ming, the only daughter of the city lord, is seriously ill.Residents in the city know that the high priest sent a pair of sons and daughters into the Jumu core in order to test the efficacy of the divine blood in curing diseases.

Judging from the current situation, the blood of the gods seems to be effective, but the process... It is useless to think too much, and it is serious to live well.

Long life, good at controlling spiritual power?Once you accept this kind of setting, it’s actually quite emotional—probably.

With the nine years of living as a naive loli, Shen Xi doesn't need to spend energy to adapt to her current identity and environment.

In the burning pain of the divine blood, the memory of her previous life was activated. In addition to making her thinking mode and behavior tend to be closer to adults, the biggest impact on her is probably watching a movie about the secular appearance of the human world after a thousand years.

When she was in deep thought, time always passed quickly. Shen Xi remembered that when she just woke up, it was vaguely three or four in the afternoon outside the window. By the time she recovered from her chaotic thoughts, it was almost night.The spar lamp infused with spiritual power illuminated the room just like the daytime, so Shen Xi didn't notice the change in the light before.

Oh, by the way, the spar lamp was made by myself on a whim after learning the method of using spell lighting.

Shen Xi tried to move her fingers, and before she knew it, the pain had receded a lot, at least the strength to support herself to sit up had recovered.

However, it's just a little bit of strength... She rubbed her belly and wondered if she should drink some porridge. After all, she was recovering from a serious illness. Eating too full or too greasy is harmful to the body.

Just as Shen Xi was sitting on the bed, wondering whether to drink fish porridge or pork liver porridge, the maid who heard her getting up outside the door had already entered the room.

And when she saw the bowl of soup in the hand of the maid Yun Yu, which was kept warm with spiritual power, Shen Xi remembered that there is no need to eat in Liuyue City... After drinking the nasty medicine, you can eat something sweet to suppress it.

"When did Miss Xi wake up? Why didn't you call your servants in to serve her?"

While speaking, the round-faced, kind-hearted and lovely maid put the soup on the low stool beside the bed, took a robe and put it on Shen Xi, "This is Miss Xi's medicine, drink it while it's hot .”

Shen Xi's face wrinkled all of a sudden.When she was plagued by a serious illness before, she drank all kinds of strange soups and medicines. She didn't recover from her illness, but her tongue suffered a lot, and in order not to dilute the efficacy of the medicine, no sugar was allowed in it... It's almost over now drink?

Due to the previous illness experience, Shen Xi had an instinctive resistance to taking medicine. However, based on past experience, the result of refusing to take medicine was probably due to the father who was the high priest hearing the news and reprimanded him. , and then I still have to pinch my nose to pour down the medicine... In order not to be scolded, it is better to take the medicine obediently.

Thinking of seeing someone complaining about feeding medicine bit by bit with a small spoon in a costume drama before, Shen Xi picked up the bowl, closed her eyes and gurgled down her throat, then quickly took the cloud delivery The small earthenware pot that came, scooped a large spoonful of jam and stuffed it into the mouth.

Seeing that Shen Xi obediently drank the medicine without crying or fussing, Yun Yu was about to give a few words of praise as usual, but felt that something was not quite right.

——Miss Xi, who loves to joke and act like a baby, seems a little too quiet today?

The festered hands and feet have grown new flesh, and the porcelain-white skin does not even have any scars. If you only look at the appearance, it is indeed healed... Shen Xi opened his mouth silently, without making any sound, and then pointed to his throat, shaking slightly. shook his head.

The meaning of these actions is actually not difficult to understand. Yun Que quickly understood what Shen Xi meant, and she couldn't even hold the staff in her hand. The staff made of gold and wood fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Shen Xi felt that she would never forget what happened that night.

Kneeling down and begging his father not to send his sister to Jumu, enduring the pain of the burning blood of the gods, comforting his sister with gentle words... The elder brother, who is a little mature and a little awkward, is holding her, crying hoarsely, almost suffocating.

"...beautiful little flowers, little birds, and the fluffy rabbits and shiny fishes mentioned in the book, whatever Xiaoxi wants, my brother will find it for you, as long as Xiaoxi responds to her brother... okay... "

She couldn't help but bury her face on Shen Ye's shoulder, suppressing the inexplicable tears.

She wanted to say, brother, I don't want little flowers, birds, rabbits, and fishes. I'm not a child anymore, I just can't talk. I'm really not sad, so don't be sad either...

With a little effort, she struggled out of Shen Ye's arms, then took one of his hands, and slowly wrote what she wanted to say in his palm stroke by stroke.

The characters that prevail in Liuyue City are evolved from the characters used by the ancient gods. For Shen Xi, writing is still a bit difficult.The difficult and complicated characters were written intermittently, and he stopped several times in the middle to think about how to write them, and even replaced them with a few homonyms with simple strokes. Shen Ye gritted his teeth, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his throat could not be suppressed. made a choking sound.

"Stop writing, Xiaoxi... I, I will go to my father, he is the high priest, he must know how to cure you!..."

Shen Xi knew very well that ever since Shen Ye tried to take her away on that rainy night, but was caught by his father and rejected his plea to "let Xiao Xi go", the elder brother's admiration and love for his father no longer existed. Only hate remains.

The only thing that bowed her head was for her sister... This is her proud brother.

She held back Shen Ye who was about to turn around to find his father, and motioned him to look outside.Shen Ji, the high priest in white sacrificial attire, covered his face with a mask that was cast together with the crown, covering his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression clearly, only his bloodless lips were pursed into a thin line.

Neither brother nor sister knew how long he had stood outside the door and how much he had listened to.
