Intertwined Destinies of Bonds

Chapter 97, Revenge of the Snake God

"Seeing that the whole family was poor and only two children depended on each other, the high priest was moved with compassion and decided not to pursue the matter anymore, but a word from the patrolling minister made the high priest change his mind again, because he said, 'poor man There must be something hateful. Now that these two children are abandoned by their parents, no one to raise them, and they are so poor, it must be because they did too many bad things in their previous lives'.

The high priest hates people who do bad things the most, even if they did it in their previous life.So he ordered people to arrest the two children and torture them, but the two children said nothing. In the end, under the strong instigation of the minister, the two children were dragged to the Pingxin Lake and killed. The situation at that time was very tragic. They were shot through by random arrows, and one was scalded to death by a branding iron.

After the two children died, when everyone was about to drag the corpses away, a big wave suddenly rolled up in Pingxin Lake, and the awakened two-headed snake came out of the water. After seeing the children's corpses, it cried out in grief .The mourning cry of the big snake caused the sun and the moon to lose their brilliance in an instant, the earth shook violently, and the sky was suddenly filled with wind and clouds, and a heavy rain accompanied by lightning and thunder poured down.It is said that the snake's chest burst suddenly because of excessive grief, and its heart burst out and fell into the woods by Pingxin Lake. All the people present were splashed with blood.When people came to their senses, the big snake had already rolled up the bodies of the two children and sank to the bottom of the lake. There was a thick smell of blood everywhere around Pingxin Lake. Even the rain that day was blood red, and the whole village was dark. For seven days and seven nights.

The high priest didn't realize until then that he had killed the master whom the Zi Ling Snake God had waited for thousands of years, and the Zi Ling Snake God was also buried for his master because he was too sad.He felt that the crime was serious, and he planned to apologize with death, but the patrol minister tricked him to fish up the corpse of the snake god, and then forcibly peeled off the snake skin, and dedicated it to the king at that time for glory and wealth. The accompanying officers and soldiers heard that It was the snake god, who swarmed up regardless of the high priest's obstruction, and gouged out the snake's flesh. In the end, only a skeleton remained by the Pingxin Lake.The high priest searched the Pingxin Lake for a long time but did not find the body of the child who sank, nor the heart that the snake god spewed out. In order to redeem his sins, he built a training hall to commemorate the dead snake gods and their souls. Two masters.

However, I didn't expect the snake god's revenge to be tragic. Before the Xinxiu Hall was built, Pingxin Lake had a three-year drought, then three years of floods, and then more than ten years of war and chaos, and people in the village died. Those who died, and those who fled, except for the four major families, there is no one left.In order to redeem his own mistakes and prevent the villagers from suffering such disasters, the high priest crushed the bones of the snake god and the two bowls used by the children into powder, and put them in a painting in the Xiuxin Hall , and then sealed the painting with his own blood.

In order to prevent someone from disturbing the sleep of the snake god and its master and causing another disaster, he told the priests of the three major families when he shed his last drop of blood that he had cast a curse in the mind training hall: those who trespass in the heart palace will die.However, the power of the snake god is too strong, and the seal can't last long with his own blood alone, so, in order to strengthen the seal, he had to make another curse, that is, the family that inherited his position will not only inherit his position At the same time, he will inherit the crimes he committed, and bear this responsibility with him. This family can only have one son in all generations. If two or two sons are born in a certain generation, it proves that the seal has expired. The snake god and his master will come to the world again.Whether they came to avenge or end the millennium-long grievances, everything will become unknown, but if no family is willing to make sacrifices to inherit his position, within three years, the entire village will be wiped out , the three major families could not escape the fate of extinction.

In this way, the Zhuo family took on the duties of the high priest again. After half a month, the whole village gradually settled down, and there were only three of the four major families, and there was no longer a thriving population like before.

And the strange thing is that since the Zhuo family inherited the duties of the high priest, every generation of girls married to the Zhuo family priests will die after giving birth to their first child, without exception for more than 900 years.Zhengxuan's mother also died when he was two months old.

I think the high priest must have concealed something. The curse was not placed on the son of the priest, but on the wives of the priests. Because priests are not allowed to remarry, only the death of the wife will ensure the second one. A son will not be born. "

"I think the high priest's approach is too cruel, so after Zhengxuan became an adult, he went to visit high-ranking hermits all over the world, hoping to find a way to have the best of both worlds, which can not only maintain the seal, but also let the Zhuo family get out of this vicious circle. But after traveling for many years, I didn't find anyone who could help me. On the contrary, I didn't know why and gradually understood something, and I firmly believed that this was the truth.

I began to wonder, in order to maintain the seal, why did the high priest of the Kang family sacrifice the innocent priests' wives instead of the high priest in charge of power?Although married to the high priest, the wives of the priests in the past are just ordinary women. They have the title of wife and do not participate in the god sacrifice ceremony. Lady's blood is more valuable?Moreover, with the ability of the High Priest of the Kang family at that time, it is absolutely possible to make the high priests of later generations die young.

Later, when I remembered the matter of the Priestess Temple of the Xiao Family, I finally realized that the curse set by the high priest was not actually imposed on the wives of the priests of the past, but on himself. Through this curse, he and the inherited The family of his position formed a marriage relationship, and reincarnated again and again to become the wife of the priests of the Zhuo family. "

Scarlett Scarlett was dumbfounded when she heard that, becoming the wife of the priests of all ages?How can this be?

Zhuo Yuanxin didn't notice her surprised expression, and continued to say to himself: "Scarlett, you also know that the term of office of the priests in the past is from his own coming-of-age ceremony to his son's coming-of-age ceremony, as long as the son holds the coming-of-age ceremony, he will The authority must be handed over to the son, so the priest's wife can only come to the world again before the next generation of priests grow up through early death, and be chosen as his wife when the next generation of priests get married, and then maintain the seal with the priests.

The high priest did not hesitate to experience countless terrible deaths to maintain the seal. I think it is because he sealed not only the power of the snake god, but also the soul of the snake god and its master. He was worried that the snake god and his master would seek revenge. Reincarnation, born in the home of the high priest, used the authority and influence of the high priest to once again create troubles in the world.

After realizing this, I decided to come back immediately. If the high priest is reincarnated successfully again, then Zhengxuan must have experienced the pain of losing his wife, and his son, my grandson, will also experience all this. I have to hurry back , Tell them these things, let them turn their grief into strength, and help the high priest continue to maintain the seal.The Zhuo family has been doomed to this fate since it was selected as one of the four major families. Glory is always accompanied by sacrifice. This is our destiny and our value.

However, after I came back, I realized that things did not go as planned by the high priest.I don't know what went wrong, the high priest failed to marry into the Zhuo family as his wife when Zhengxuan got married.After hearing this, you may ask why I am so sure that the wives of all generations are the reincarnation of the high priest, but you are not.Because the high priests and wives of the past passed away, they had to hang a portrait in the main hall on the second floor of the Xiao Family Priest's Shrine in accordance with ancient regulations.When Xiao Han passed away, I saw portraits of the high priest and the wives of the priests in the Temple of Priests.

I was a little surprised at the time, because the wives of the past generations all came from different families and even different regions, but all of them have one thing in common, that is, no matter how different their appearances are, there is a stud-like earring on the right earlobe of the wives of all generations. Mole, and the high priest is wearing an earring of the same shape on the right earlobe.My mother and grandma are real people, I have never seen them, but my wife Xiao Han does have such a mole on her earlobe, so, the wife of the high priest, Scarlett, you don’t have one, and you also gave birth to two child.
