In The Name Of Fang

Guard Zhan has been walking with wind in the past few days, because the lord entrusted him with a very difficult task.

The Yanjing Territory was listed separately, and the documents were no longer shared with other territories.In the past, because it was the territory of the Hanshan clan, some procedures that were done in the Hanshan clan could be exempted here, but now it is not allowed.Every blood clan who comes to Yanjing must report in advance, and the Shiliu clan is listed as a household that refuses to come and go. If it is not necessary, the Shiliu clan is not allowed to step into Yanjing.And this "necessity" depends on whether the Lord of Yanjing thinks it is necessary.

Ron hasn't come back yet, and the guard Zhan has become a happy spinning top.

Therefore, the knight task in the app has become directional again.

[Knight task: Wash a plate of fruit for the injured lord, reward 100 points, do you accept the order? 】

[The order was successfully received, and the knight asked for a kiss as a tip. 】

"The old man is confused, completely listening to those two foreign devils..." On the big screen in the living room, the weary face of Di Hua, the head of the Di family, was displayed.Because of the old man's molestation, there was turmoil within the family, and the otaku was forced to stop updating for several days, feeling devastated, "I've been scolded like a dog by readers, and if I don't resume updating, the great Internet literature career will be ruined." Once."

Si Jun was leaning on the sofa in loose pajamas, eating the fruit Xia Yuzhou had cut, with an indifferent expression on his face.

"I have to confirm with you personally all the passports of the Sixteen Clans. You want me to die," Di Hua showed Si Jun a lock of hair that fell out just now, trying to arouse his sympathy. Forget it, my nephew will go to Yanjing next month to participate in self-enrollment, so you have to give me this."

"Di Li?" Si Jun recalled that the child was still playing in Yanjing during the summer vacation. He was arrogant and rude, and had a bad attitude towards Xia Yuzhou. "Tell him to go to other schools and not come to Yanjing."

Di Hua: "Why?"

Si Jun: "I don't like him."

Di Hua: "???"

If you take a screenshot now, Di Hua's expression can be used as an emoji package, and the wording is [Is there any Wang Fa? 】

There are kingly laws, and in the territory of the blood clan, what the lord talks about is the kingly laws.

Di Hua lost his temper after several consecutive failures, and simply put aside the issue of the pass and started chatting: "What are your plans for the future, and you really don't want to leave Yanjing for the rest of your life? Why don't you give Xiaomo to me?" Well, young people need to get out and see the world..."

Si Jun raised his hand to hang up the communication.

"Hey," Di Hua hurriedly stopped, "Finally, the last question! I heard that the Bai family gave you the fourth fragment, and the old man's two foreign dogs barked, claiming that if the repair is successful, the world will be destroyed. Yes. So... when will it be fixed?"

After Bai Shu went back, he quietly delivered the broken mirror in the Bai family's collection to Si Jun.Gu Ji was ecstatic, holding the four fragments and went to retreat, assuring that the mirror would be repaired.

Xia Yuzhou wanted to laugh when he saw Di Hua's face watching the excitement, so he couldn't help teasing him: "The power in the mirror is very strong, and it may take ten days and a half months to find a clue to fix it."

"Ding dong!"

Just as he was talking, the doorbell rang, and Xia Yuzhou opened the door with his slippers on. In an instant, a disheveled young master Gu rushed in: "It's fixed, master, I fixed it!"

Di Hua stretched out her head to look beyond the boundary of the camera, but Si Jun decisively hung up the communication.

"So fast!" Xia Yuzhou was very surprised.

"Yes," Gu Ji grinned, and the dead fish eyes under his long bangs were shining brightly, "Thanks to me repairing it, if it was given to other members of our family, it might be broken!"

"As expected of the strongest craftsman in the world!" Xia Yuzhou gave him a thumbs up.

After being praised by Xia Yuzhou, Gu Ji jumped up happily, trying to hang upside down.However, the design of Sijun's apartment is too modern, not to mention the beams, there is not even a chandelier in the center of the living room, it is all hidden light strips.He could only turn over on the spot and land awkwardly.

Fortunately, no one paid attention to his performance art, Xia Yuzhou was already holding a mirror and huddling with Si Jun to study it.

A few days ago, it was four pieces that could not be glued together.The broken brass pieces have experienced wind and rain, and the joints have been rounded, and there are gaps in the middle no matter how they are put together.Today, those gaps are filled, smooth and seamless, like a new mirror.

Turning it over, not only the mirror surface, but also the exterior decoration has been completely repaired.The simple and smooth cloud pattern, as well as the lettering on the back, have all been restored.

"It's really uncanny workmanship, it's too powerful."

Xia Yuzhou stroked the writing on it with his fingers, but before he could make it out, the doorbell rang again.

Casually stuffing the mirror under the sofa, holding down Sijun who was trying to get up, Xia Yuzhou went to open the door himself.Gu Ji, who doesn't like socializing, silently hides in the toilet, taking care of himself who hasn't washed his hair for many days.

"Zhou Xiaoshu, why are you here?" Xia Yuzhou was very surprised.

"I didn't answer your call, so I just came here." Zhou Shu looked a little unhappy, and walked in with his head sullen.

Xia Yuzhou glanced at the mobile phone placed on the shoe cabinet: "It was muted last night and has not been turned on."

"En." Zhou Shu replied listlessly, walked to the sofa area and sat down, picked up the water glass on the table and drank it down.

Si Jun straightened the sleeves of his home clothes and sat up straight: "Did something happen?"

Zhou Shu glared at Si Jun, and couldn't understand his "sister-in-law" face very much.Xia Yuzhou came over and kicked him: "I'm asking you something, what's the matter?"

"When can I get in touch with Dad?" Zhou Shu asked without beginning or end.

Xia Yuzhou paused for a moment: "I can't get in touch now, just ask me if you have anything."

Zhou Shu raised his head, his eyes were red: "She said, my own father is a monster, and he knew our father."

He came back to deal with that troublesome mother these days, and got the expected news that the man who married his mother was not his real father.And his own father disappeared when he was very young.It's just that he didn't expect that this father, who was probably a blood clan, actually knew Papa Xia.

"You know our dad?" Xia Yuzhou was taken aback. Since childhood, Xia's father said that their family is the last blood clan, and they have never seen any contact with other blood clans.

Zhou Shu looked at him quietly for a while, lowered his eyes, and slowly stroked the red hair on the top of his head: "When will Dad come back?"

Xia Yuzhou was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "Dad won't come back."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Shu raised his head abruptly.

"Literally," Xia Yuzhou wiped his face and smashed the jar, "He's going to guard the sky mirror, and he won't be able to get out once he gets in."

In the mountain where the Xia family's old house is located, there is a tourist attraction called "Tianjing".It is a suspended waterfall composed of two natural semicircular boulders. The water flow is gentle and delicate, and it is reflected in the sun like a large natural mirror.

Si Jun knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. The so-called Shoutian Mirror obviously didn't set up a booth next to the Sky Mirror to collect admission fees: "Is there a mirror world in the waterfall?"

Xia Yuzhou nodded, and revealed a secret that only he knew all along: "The sky mirror must be guarded by a living person. Our family has been the mirror guard for generations, and when I grow old, I will also guard the mirror."

Si Jun frowned violently, subconsciously clenched Xia Yuzhou's hand.

Xia Yuzhou touched him soothingly: "Hey, don't panic, it's early."

"Hehe, hehehe, that's right." Zhou Shu suddenly sneered.

"So what?" Xia Yuzhou felt that his younger brother's smile was ugly, and stretched out his hand to call the back of his head, but the call came to nothing, and he couldn't help being stunned.

Zhou Shu, who had been beaten by him all the year round, suddenly dodged away.

"I gave that woman money, and she gave me a video tape." Zhou Shu took out a square box from his backpack with a blank expression.It was one of those old-fashioned cassettes, and he'd had a hard time finding an antique VCR.Inside is the image left by his biological father.

【Xiao Shu, Dad is going to do a great thing, so I can't grow up with you. 】

[Xia Yuzhou's grandfather is also your grandfather, he is the one who gave Dad a second life. 】

[Uncle Xia will take care of you instead of Dad, Xiaoshu needs to be well... Dad is sorry for you. 】

The man who looked exactly like himself, took old photos and identified him as "Grandpa Xia", "Uncle Xia" and "Little Yuzhou", grinning like a fool, the kind who was sold and helped count the money Fool.

Xia Yuzhou's eyes widened. He really didn't know these things.Zhou Shu's biological father turned out to be a blood clan transformed by his grandfather.Well, the so-called picking up a seriously ill child abandoned by his mother in the hospital is also nonsense.It was obviously Xia's father who had been paying attention to Zhou Shu's situation. Seeing his mother give up, he took him away immediately.

Zhou Shu put the video tape back into the bag, zipped it up and stood up: "My dear father is the son your grandfather first embraced. He went to guard the mirror for your father and can't come back."

Xia Yuzhou's fingertips trembled slightly: "For..."

"That's right, replace!" Zhou Shu suddenly raised his voice, staring at Xia Yuzhou with red eyes, "Your family is desperately procreating offspring, and you first embraced half of the species, just to have more people guarding the mirror for you."

Xia Yuzhou shook his head, wanting to explain: "No, Xiaoshu..."

"Don't fucking call me that!" Zhou Shu straightened his neck, tears rolled in his eyes, but stubbornly refused to shed them, "What kind of life-saving grace, what kind of nurturing affection. Your family raised me to make me like my father Same, be a scapegoat. I'm just a slave of your family, that's all!"

"Isn't it good to be a slave?" Gu Ji poked his head out of the bathroom while holding the door frame, "That's a great ancestor!"

"Shut up, you!" Xia Yuzhou felt suffocated for a while, his eyes turned black.

Zhou Shu grabbed his backpack and rushed out like a tornado.

Xia Yuzhou chased after him, but the door that was slammed hard hit his nose, and he staggered and sat on the ground with an "ow".

"Yuzhou!" Si Jun rushed over and hugged him to check the injury, "Don't move, I'll take a look."

The nose was bleeding when touched, but luckily it didn't touch the teeth.The fragile little blood tooth was still in the mouth, sticking out a little aggrieved.

"Woo..." Soft fingers touched the tip of the nose, and a sore pain suddenly spread from the nasal cavity to the back of the head, and Xia Yuzhou's tears flowed down.

"Does it hurt?" Si Jun panicked, and quickly took a tissue to wipe his tears, wiping more and more.

"I don't know about his father, Lao Xia never mentioned it at all! I only know that he is my younger brother, woo woo woo..." Xia Yuzhou cried sadly. He is a good young man in modern society with good roots. What can he do? The idea of ​​a slave for a dead ghost.From a young age, he only knew that he was his younger brother who needed to be loved. Although he was always fighting, after his father was gone, Zhou Shu was his dearest person.

Si Jun hugged him and let him use his home clothes as a face towel, rubbing his nose with tears and snot: "Why does your family guard that sky mirror?"

"Old Xia said that if no one is guarding, the world will be destroyed. I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, every generation has done it this way." Think about the generations of Xia's family who put people's lives in the mirror, and it didn't work out in the end. A group of foreign devils wanted to pull out his teeth, and the younger brother who had been brought up with great difficulty turned against each other.The more Xia Yuzhou thought about it, the more wronged she became, and she hiccupped from crying.

Si Jun patted him on the back lightly: "Why don't we look at the memory in the Wuji Mirror first, maybe we can also have answers to the family affairs."

The inheritance of the Xia family was broken, and with the little knowledge that Xia's father had, he did not dare to speak clearly because he was concerned about the child's feelings, so he could only place his hopes on the virtual mirror left by his ancestors.If you know the cause and effect of Tianjing, Zhou Shu's matter may have a different angle.

Xia Yuzhou washed his face, returned to the sofa area, and the three of them stared at the ancient mirror for a while.

"As a family heirloom, Wuji Mirror must have recorded very important information." Gu Ji watched eagerly, wondering if there were any records about his ancestors in it.

Si Jun nodded and looked at Xia Yuzhou: "Let's get started."

Xia Yuzhou: "...What did you start? How do you open this thing?"

He doesn't know how the virtual mirror looks at it!

Suddenly, Si Jun apologized to him in a low voice, pulled Xia Yuzhou's finger and took a bite, dripping a drop on the back of Wuji Mirror.

Xia Yuzhou looked at the back of the brass mirror in amazement. The bright red color gradually infects the complicated lines, revealing the engraved writing on it, the word "Wuji" flying around.

Then, turning the mirror around again, the originally empty mirror surface gradually became brighter.

"The virtual mirror is like a tablet computer, and the corresponding blood is like a battery. The amount of energy in the blood can support the screen for a long time," Gu Ji dutifully explained to Xia Yuzhou, "Our one is more advanced. , only recognize the blood of the Xia family members. My blood is useless..."

The more you talk, the lower your voice is, because the light in the disease-free mirror is getting brighter and brighter, far exceeding the brightness of a TV show on a tablet.

"Wow, what is this!" Xia Yuzhou exclaimed, and the sudden burst of white light engulfed all three of them.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already on a rather primitive river beach, with clumps of rocks and weeds up to my knees.

There were noisy voices not far away, and the three of them turned their heads to look over, and the scene suddenly drew closer.It turned out to be a group of people dressed in ancient coarse cloth, including men and women, old and young.In a huge basket tied with red cloth, there were two children wearing red bellybands tied up, a man and a woman both crying and ignorant.

"How many times have I told you that human sacrifices are not allowed!" A young man in white walked past the three of them looking silly like a breeze, and stopped in front of the villagers.

"Wow!" Gu Ji exclaimed suddenly.

"Keep your voice down!" Xia Yuzhou quickly covered his mouth.

"No," Guji struggled. "This is not a simple virtual mirror. This is a holographic image! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Si Jun looked around carefully, raised his foot and walked over, approaching the man in white.

The face that was always automatically replaced by Xia Yuzhou in the dream finally showed its true appearance.With just one glance, one can understand what is the moonlight on the silver poetry strings.It was a beauty that could not be described by pale words, and it was a banished fairy that mortals were not qualified to touch.Looking at these ignorant and sloppy men, women and children in front of him would be a blasphemy to him.

At that time, the ancestor of the Si family, the Marquis of Ma'anshan, a noble knight and bard originally surnamed Stuart - Si Nan, obviously thought so too.Wearing the same knight uniform as the one on the statue, Lord Hou kicked his riding boots and ran over quickly, blocking the people before they clashed with Xia Wuya.His big-brimmed hat with bright feathers is out of tune with this antique environment, which is very funny.

"Don't be rude!" Sinan firmly held down the hand of a strong man who was trying to push, and protected Xia Wuya behind his back, "This is Master Guoshi!"

After saying this, the guards in charge of protecting the national teacher came in a hurry.There is no way, the two masters run like flying, and they really can't keep up.

The common people didn't know Xia Wuya, but they knew the national teacher, so they quickly knelt down and saluted.

"My lord, there is really nothing we can do. The plague has been rampant recently. I heard that some people in Lin County threw boys and girls into the water, and the epidemic stopped soon. We..."

"What nonsense!" Xia Wuya shook his sleeves and held his hands behind his back, revealing the bright blue sword at his waist, "The plague in Lin County was cured by me entering the water, so what has it to do with the living sacrifice? You wait for the plague to recede quickly. This seat will take care of it myself!"

With that group of vicious guards with knives, the common people naturally did not dare to say much, and after thanking them, they quickly left with the boys and girls who had escaped.

The river beach was empty, and Xia Wuya stood on a high place, looking at the slowly gurgling river with cold eyes.

"Are you still going into the water?" Sinan asked him in non-standard Mandarin, his eyes full of worry.

"Otherwise? You go for me?" Xia Wuya raised his upper lip, revealing his sharp fangs.

"Oh, dear Ya, don't show your bloody teeth at me." Si Nan covered his chest with one hand, his cheeks flushed.

Xia Wuya ignored him, pricked his fingers and formed seals in the air, and hit the river with his flicks.The complicated imprints made of blood were just suspended on the rolling river water without dispersing.Xia Wuya pulled out his sword and jumped in.

Not long after, thick black blood suddenly appeared in the clear river water, and was sealed by the blood seal covering it, so that it did not scatter into the river water.

"Boom—" Xia Wuya jumped out of the water with a sword in one hand and a wolf's skin in the other.

"Cough cough cough..." Throwing away the fur in his hand, Xia Wuya supported the ground with his sword, knelt down and choked up a few mouthfuls of water.

Si Nan hurried to help him, but was pushed away by Xia Wuya in disgust.He took out a fire folder with a silver casing from his pocket, threw it to Sinan, and told him to burn the black mass sealed by the blood seal.

"Why did you go into the water to catch these wolves? Isn't it good to lure them to the shore?" Sinan burned for a long time, unable to do anything, and almost fell into the water himself.Finally, after the burning was over, Xia Wuya looked up again, and Xia Wuya had already changed into dry clothes.

"These are the puppets of the wolf demon." Xia Wuya wiped his sword with a silk cloth, "they have the demonic energy of the wolf demon on them, once they disperse, they will cause plague, and they must be killed in the water mirror."

Si Nan picked up the wet wolf fur and shook it, and wanted to put it by the fire to dry with Xia Wuya's changed clothes, but was mercilessly rejected by the guards.He was obviously not a Marquis at this time, he was just a foreign nobleman who came from afar, and the guards didn't take him seriously at all: "How can a filthy wolf skin stain the clothes of the national teacher."

Fortunately, he was an optimistic bard, he didn't care about these things, and felt that what the guards said made sense.Throwing the wolf skin on the stone to dry naturally, ran to Xia Wuya and sat down beside Xia Wuya, took out the zither hanging behind his back, and gently plucked the strings.

The simple and unadorned timbre plays exotic tunes, which are surprisingly beautiful in this wild and deserted mountain.

Xia Wuya chuckled lightly: "Although your huqin is small, it sounds beautiful."

"It's great that you like it." Si Nan smiled so hard that his teeth couldn't be seen, and dutifully played music for the national teacher.

Xia Wuya put away his sword and looked at him with one hand on his chin: "You have this skill, why don't you become a musician in the palace. If you follow me, you won't have the chance to get promoted and make a fortune."

"Oh, my dear teacher, what I'm after is not promotion and wealth." His slender fingers slid across the strings one by one, his blue eyes were full of stars, "What bards are after is happiness and stories. In this country, you He is the most worthy of my pursuit. Can you tell me what magic energy is?"

The sky is getting dark, the sun is setting and the moon is rising.

Xia Wuya stretched out his hand, and there was a very faint starlight falling from the sky, surrounding his fingertips, and the sparkling dots were really beautiful: "The devil energy is naturally generated by the heaven and the earth, and our spirit race is born with it, one ebbs and another grows. What you burned today is the filth condensed by demonic energy, with less demonic energy, there will be fewer disasters in the world."

Si Nan was overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery and forgot to play the piano.After a long while without seeing Xia Wuya speak again, he regained his senses and continued playing: "Ah, our side is called the Blood Race." As he spoke, he slightly stretched out the tip of his teeth to show the national teacher, and then retracted quickly, his ears were red .

"Spirits, the name is straightforward." Xia Wuya raised his eyebrows, as if he thought the retractable teeth were very interesting, and suddenly moved closer to pinch his chin for a closer look, "The Spirits survive on the aura of heaven and earth. Blood is the body of living things." The essence of the blood is the place where the aura of heaven and earth gathers the most intensely, and sucking blood is actually absorbing aura."
