Dream Maker [Rebirth]

Hearing this, Que Jinxian couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Yo? Are you still not old-fashioned?"

Ji Yuanchen said indifferently: "Not as old as you."

Que Jinxian stopped bickering with him, but asked curiously, "You guessed it before I said it? How do you know he's a businessman?"

Ji Yuanchen didn't seem to think that it was so difficult to guess, and was very disdainful of Que Jinxian's fussy reaction, saying: "The story you told Wu Zhou back then was so vague, even if he listened to it all outside the door, it would be nothing more than just talking about it." Can determine who the next island owner is, as for the timing of the seal collapse and the decline of your spiritual power, how could he know so clearly if it wasn't for the guidance of an expert?"

Que Jinxian nodded slowly as if deeply convinced: "Tsk, it's really you."

The conversation between these two people was like playing a riddle, and the three of Lu Ci were all at a loss when they heard it.

Que Jinxian had already retracted his gaze, but when he saw the reaction of the three of them, he frowned and squinted at Ji Yuanchen again and said, "I said you can really do it? Wu Zhou has been away from Zhou for so many years, why don't you Didn't you tell him anything about your ancestors?"

Ji Yuanchen snorted and said, "The less you know, the better, so you don't have to rush to your death all day long."

These words were obviously talking about the transformation of spirit gates. After hearing Lu Ci's gaze, Lu Ci couldn't help but glance at Ji Wuzhou, but Ji Wuzhou had a calm face, and even smiled when he met Lu Ci's gaze. He stroked the back of his head to comfort him.

When Que Jinxian saw the appearance of the two of them, he understood what he should understand and whether he should understand it or not, but he still smiled and looked at Ji Yuanchen and said: "Since you don't want him to know, why did you send him to the secret realm back then? No Is there nothing wrong with sending it?"

This time, Ji Yuanchen didn't refute anymore, as if he was choked by these words, he just gave him a sideways glance and then turned his head away.

The three of Lu Ci were really dizzy from the words in the words and the weird attitude of the two of them, and couldn't help asking: "Master, what are you talking about?"

Que Jinxian finally withdrew his gaze and looked at the three of them again, sighed helplessly, and said in resignation, "Well, I have to explain everything in the end."

After that, he silently thought about where to start, and then said again after a long time: "In ancient times, there was not only one ancestor who suppressed evil spirits in the secret realm."

Que Jinxian’s memory left on the mural back then has already told about the past when human ancestors forged spiritual weapons to suppress evil spirits, but that memory did not mention that this feat was not done by an ancestor alone, but It was completed by three ancestors——

Xi Yao, the ancestor of the spirit guard, Ji Ying, the ancestor of the Ji family, and Shang Gan, the ancestor of the merchant.

At that time, the idea of ​​suppressing evil spirits was first proposed by Xiyao, and this idea coincided with the wishes of the other two ancestors, so the three ancestors planned together and finally made the decision to "gather spirits" —— Gather the aura of the world, and cast spiritual weapons to suppress the evil.

However, spiritual energy is the same as evil energy. If you want to gather it, you need something to store it. The ancestor Xiyao was particularly determined to suppress the evil energy. He decided without hesitation to donate his spiritual gate to store spiritual energy, and was willing to throw himself into the furnace after the spiritual energy was gathered. , using his own flesh and blood as a spiritual weapon.

Ji Ying and Shang Gan were grateful for his righteousness, but they also understood that this alone was not enough, because spiritual energy and evil energy are not dead things, even if one side forms a seal to temporarily suppress the other, it will gradually loosen and weaken over the long years. Until the seal is completely broken.

Therefore, what they can do is probably only to create a starting point, and the process that will be repeated for thousands of years will need successors.

For this reason, Xi Yao resolutely decided to give up reincarnation, and divided his soul into two soul embryos and hid them in the spiritual weapon, so that when the seal was about to break, one of them would transform into a human being. Shouldering the responsibility of suppressing the evil energy again, after death, the soul returns to the spirit weapon to become a soul embryo again, and so on and on.

But Ji Ying and Shang Gan promised to help the person transformed by Xiyao's soul embryo from generation to generation, and do their best to help them get back their evil spirits.

Therefore, the three ancestors swore an oath of eternal life with their blood, and agreed that the descendants of the three will perform their respective duties every time the evil energy dissipates in the future:

Xiyao's lineage is responsible for "guarding the spirit", taking back the evil spirit with the spirit gate transforming device, and guarding the seal after suppression.

Ji Ying's lineage is in charge of "seeking evil spirits", looking for people who have been invaded by evil spirits with the hair color and eye color that will change when they are close to evil spirits.

The lineage of Shanggan is responsible for "showing disasters", using the power of foresight to inform the people with evil spirits of the foreseen disasters, and thus admonishing them to open the spiritual gate and give up evil spirits.

The bond of eternal life entangles a hidden thread that can never be separated between the three bloodlines, making them a permanent alliance and never being able to kill each other. Life will stagnate after the seal is repaired, and will resume circulation when the new guardian appears 8000 years later, while the life of the other two veins will stagnate when the muscles, bones, body and skin reach their peak, and will begin to age after the birth of offspring.

Because of the hidden thread formed by the bond of eternal life, even if the descendants of the three lines are separated in the remotest corners of the world, they will meet by various chances and coincidences when the evil spirits dissipate, and complete their respective missions.

8000 years ago, Que Jinxian, who brought the Quartet Spirit Artifact to the Human Continent, met Ji Yuanchen and Shang He, a descendant of the merchant, precisely because of such a coincidence.

Each of the three bloodlines adheres to the teachings of their ancestors, and they all know their own missions well, so they didn't seem too surprised when they met, but just like countless ancestors did, they performed their duties in an attempt to suppress the evil spirits again .

However, in the process of taking back their evil energy, Shang He gradually wavered in his mission - persuading the world to open the spiritual gate is not as easy as he imagined, even if he knew what kind of disaster the evil life would bring, most of them would People are still unwilling to give up this extra "life span".

This is actually another function of the Sifang spiritual tool. When you meet someone who is unwilling to give up the evil life, use the spiritual tool to fulfill his wish and exchange it for the evil life.

This kind of exchange has continued since the first generation, and it can be said to be the practice of the ancestors, but in Shang He's view, this is a cowardly concession at all, not only extremely aggrieved, but also meaningless.

Such thoughts took root in his heart and continued to spread, which made him more and more resistant to the practice of fulfilling his wishes with spiritual weapons, and even had disagreements with Quejinxian two times because of this-he believed that those who did not want to give up the evil life were not worthy of being killed. Salvation should allow them to suffer the consequences and pay for their choices.

Que Jinxian and the two only wanted to safely complete the mission entrusted by their ancestors, and seal the evil energy as soon as possible. Naturally, they ignored his proposal, which seemed like a dispute between emotions. Finally, the queen couldn't bear it anymore and decided to part ways with the two of them.

"I only accept the responsibility of 'showing disaster', but people in the world know the disaster and don't avoid it, and they see the benefit and make up their minds. Since you are willing to compromise, why should I waste my words to persuade them, and they will all be lured with benefits. From now on My business line will never participate in this matter again, let’s just say goodbye today, and there will be no date in the future!"

Before leaving, Shang He's words not only clarified his own position, but also drew a clear line between the two lines for future generations and his determination to never bear the responsibility of disaster again.

Que Jinxian and the two of them didn't try to change his mind, nor blocked his decision, and let him leave resolutely, and there has been no news since then.

Without Shanghe's help, the process of taking back Xie Shou was naturally more bumpy than before, but fortunately, there were no major mistakes, and the two finally worked together to complete it and take back all the evil spirits.

Before returning to Xihezhou, Que Jinxian asked Ji Yuanchen what his future plans were.

Although he asked tactfully, Ji Yuanchen could still tell that he was not asking about his own plans, but whether the Ji family would continue to inherit the teachings of their ancestors in the future.

At that time, Ji Yuanchen hadn't yet enlightened on the matter of children's love, so he answered casually: "I don't know what will happen tomorrow, and it's hard to say whether there will be descendants, just let nature take its course."

Que Jinxian couldn't help teasing: "It's not difficult to know what will happen tomorrow, Tianhe Feather Fan can find it out, but can I help you find out when we can meet marriage?"

Ji Yuanchen didn't waver at all: "No need, the fun of life lies in the unknown, wouldn't it be boring to explore."

Hearing what he said, Que Jinxian also smiled and didn't say any more. After saying goodbye to him, he set off to leave.

In the thousands of years that followed, the three of them knew nothing about each other's situation, until the couple in the mainland of the world accidentally drifted the sick child down the river to a secret place, and the legend of "Island of Immortals" spread in the world Afterwards, children were sent to Xihe Continent one after another, and disciples from secret realms returned to the mainland one after another. Only then did Ji Yuanchen learn a little bit about the current situation of Quejinxian.

What Ji Yuanchen said at the beginning, "It's hard to say whether there are descendants" is not false, because for thousands of years later, he has been obsessed with studying the medical skills passed down from the Ji family since ancient times, and he has been traveling all the year round-the trace of practicing medicine is hard to find, and he has never tried to find it. The so-called marriage.

From this point of view, the records of Ji's surname in "Hundred Houses Miscellaneous Notes" are not wrong. They are indeed hard to find ghosts and ghosts, and they do often appear in places where disasters occur, but they are not the culprits of disasters, but In order to save lives and heal the wounded.

However, in the process of helping the spirit guards to explore evil spirits, their hair color and eye color are very different from those of ordinary people due to their repeated approach to evil spirits, so they really look very special and weird in the eyes of the world.

And the world has always been like this, can't understand the special, can't tolerate weirdness, anyone who is different from my generation must be weird, whether he is true or not, we have to arrange it first.

Ji Yuanchen didn't care about these, and didn't bother to pay attention to their random speculations due to ignorance, and just continued to act according to his original intention, like a lone ranger who had no love or hatred.

He originally thought that this kind of solitude would last forever, but he didn't expect that just when the 8000-year period was drawing to a close, the person who seemed to be destined to make him fall in love appeared in front of him without warning.

It's too late to meet each other, and we fall in love with each other.

Mutual promise for life, tied the knot.

Everything is so logical.

After more than a year of marriage, when Ji Yuanchen learned that he was about to become a father, he was surrounded by great joy and satisfaction, and it even reminded him of Shanghe's decision at the beginning - if the child does not have to bear the burden of seeking The responsibility of the evil, the family of three can live in such a peaceful, peaceful and uncontested way, that would be the best.

That was the first time he wavered in the mission entrusted by his ancestors. Although it was just a fleeting thought, it left an indelible mark after all, which made him often conflicted in his heart during the years of waiting for the arrival of this child. indecision--

When he grows up, should I let him fulfill the responsibility of finding evil?

What if I don't go...?
