Celestial Masters Alliance

There were a lot of things that shocked me today, but this one definitely ranks number one. Zhu Mo was born in the same year, month and day as me. To have such an old daughter, wouldn’t it mean that he got married and had children in his early twenties? And "Who is Tan Sili?" I accidentally said the question in my mind.

The grandma of the Miao family sighed unnoticeably, her eyes never leaving Zhu Jing: "Zhao Shuang's mother, Tan Shiping, has a sister who is thirteen years younger than her. When something happened to the Tan family, Tan Shiping got lost in the chaos and was not yet full term. Tan Sili was sent to the remote Miao family for shelter. When Miao Zheng and Zhu Wenzhu were in trouble, the Zhang family rescued Zhu Mo. Following Zhu Mo, the Yinjuan of the Purifying Heart Curse appeared. In other words, Zhu Mo was the Purifying Heart Curse. The chosen blessing person.”

What? Did the Purifying Mantra appear with Zhu Mo? The Purifying Mantra in my hand was given to me by my biological mother, and Zhu Mo was my biological mother’s son at that time, so the first choice for the Purifying Mantra in my hand was Zhu Mo. But where did the Purifying Mantra in his hand come from?

"Since records have been recorded, adults have only been chosen for the Purifying Mantra. Although adults have a greater ability to withstand pain, they also have a bigger disadvantage, that is, they have many distracting thoughts, so no one can survive more than two years after being blessed by the Purifying Mantra. Ten years, and some can't even last a year." Grandma Miao shook her head and finally turned her eyes to me.

I've heard the village chief say all this, but I don't have a year left to live. I just want to do what I can for the people around me before I move my head.

"We already knew a candidate for the blessing, so we started to discuss countermeasures. Since adults have many distracting thoughts, let's try letting the blessing person's children give it a try. With this plan in mind, we held a clan wedding for Zhu Mo and Tan Sili. Soon Zhu Jing was born and became a candidate for the Purifying Mantra." Grandma Miao took a step closer to me, reached out and grabbed my wrist.

And my brain was racing. Zhu Jing, the name Zhu Mo called before sinking into the swamp. He told me to help him take care of Zhu Jing, but it turned out that he asked me to take care of his daughter. Zhu Moben and I are cousins, so his daughter should naturally call me cousin. After all, Tan Sili is Mu Mu’s aunt, so how should this little girl call Mu Mu? cousin? Why did I suddenly get promoted? However, with this Zhu Jing, Mu Mu, who had no blood relationship with me, finally became a real relative.

Grandma Miao squeezed my wrist hard, interrupting my train of thought and startling me.

Yes, the Purifying Curse chose Zhu Mo at the beginning. Now that he is gone, the Purifying Curse has fallen on his daughter again. My biological mother gave me the jade lock with the Purifying Mantra. After I met the wood, I retrieved the Purifying Mantra and the jade lock. From this, it seems that the Purifying Mantra also selected wood. As long as the heart is purified, The curse has chosen you and you can't escape no matter what. I looked at Grandma Miao and felt nervous. The reason why she bewitched us was to prevent trouble during the selection process of the Purifying Mantra!

"Please grandma preside over the blessing ceremony!" I followed the example of the village chief and saluted the Miao family's grandma, which was considered as giving her a step down. Mu Mu's life was still in her hands! I must be respectful.

Grandma Miao glared at the village chief again. Seeing that I had made up my mind, she had no choice but to hold me with one hand and Zhu Jing with the other to the stone monument. I was still in a daze, and there was a tingling pain in my fingers. Grandma Miao pulled me He and Zhu Jing pressed their hands on the stone tablet, and our two blood watered the embossed phoenix on the stone tablet. The phoenix feathers on my wrist instantly became quiet, and the flames were extinguished at the same time.

There were rumbling sounds all around, and the ground beneath my feet shook with high frequency. The villagers held torches and approached the tomb. I could feel their excitement.

The stones on the tomb swayed, slowly opening like petals, revealing the pillar wrapped in the center of the tomb. I looked closely and saw that it was the load-bearing pillar standing in the center of the nine-cornered tower.

Grandma Miao let go of my and Zhu Jing's hands, turned to the village chief who was still bowing and said, "Okay! You go down and light the fire first."

The village chief finally stood up and walked towards the pillar stiffly, not daring to show any signs of neglect. He twisted the mechanism on the pillar, and the pillar slowly descended. The village chief waved his hand back, and a group of villagers followed him and jumped to the top of the pillar. Soon the pillar carried them and disappeared from the ground like an elevator.

Could it be that this is the sacrificial site where the Purifying Mantra is held? It’s too lax! A phoenix was even sacrificed here! Working on multiple businesses under one roof! Grandma Miao's eyes kept falling on me, which made me shudder. Is now a good time? I couldn't control that much anymore, so I said a little recklessly: "Grandma, I'm sorry!" In any case, only by being soft to your elders can you achieve your goal faster.

Grandma of the Miao family closed her eyes, pursed her lips and made a hum. After not seeing her lecture for a long time, I spoke again: "Grandma, you see, it is inevitable for me to accept the blessing of the Pure Heart Mantra. Then Zhao You don’t need to restrain him!” At the end of the sentence, my voice was so weak that I could hardly hear it.

Grandma Miao kept her eyes closed and pursed her lips, but she still didn't move. I started to panic, and just as I was about to continue begging for mercy, Zhu Jing quietly stretched out her little hand and held my bleeding finger. She looked at me with clear eyes. bright. Looking at her, my heart felt like it was hit hard by a heavy hammer. She lost her father at such a young age, and I guess her mother is gone too, otherwise it shouldn’t be me and Grandma Miao who are standing next to her now. And I will definitely live up to Zhu Mo’s trust...

Perhaps it was this moment of silence that made Grandma Miao change her mind. She opened her eyes, fumbled out a small black porcelain bottle from her arms and handed it to me. I quickly took the porcelain bottle and thanked her repeatedly. Grandma Miao said, "Drink this." It won't be effective immediately, because this potion does not repel insects, but transforms them."

"Yes, yes! Got it, grandma!" I smiled at Zhu Jing, took my fingers out of her hand, and carefully put the porcelain bottle into the inner pocket of my coat.

"You have to go back and save him with your life!" Miao's grandma added coldly, which made my originally relaxed heart tighten again. Could it be that blessing the Pure Heart Mantra would put one's life in danger? If I can't bear it, what will Zhu Jing do?

Just as I was thinking about it, the pillar rose up from the ground. Grandma Miao took me with one hand and Zhu Jing with the other, and climbed to the top of the pillar. When we stood still, several villagers came up to hold torches for us.

When I came to this underground world again, it was different from the last time I came in. It had obviously been renovated. The cobwebs and pictures that once covered the walls were covered with gold paint. The vermilion ground was made of an unknown material, and it had a sound-absorbing effect when stepped on. There were braziers neatly placed on both sides of the aisle. The flames crackled and there was no black smoke at all. It's strange that so many braziers are burning at the same time. Where does the ventilation and oxygen supply come from under the ground?

Grandma Miao led Zhu Jing and I towards the splendid hall. The layout here has not changed much. The village chief and the vanguard are standing beside the grooves on the ground, still holding torches in their hands. All the open flame equipment in the entire hall has been lit. The light of the fire gives the place a sacred feel.

We stepped through the grooves on the ground, avoiding all the rhinoceros horn cups on the ground, and came to the place where Miao Dan's head once stood in the center of the hall. The village chief bowed his head respectfully and arched his back, holding the red lacquered wooden box in both hands and slowly came forward. Give it to Grandma Miao.

Grandma Miao took the box, waved the village chief to retreat, chanted a strange spell, and opened the box. Two wisps of white smoke floated out of the box. They slowly rose into the air, first spinning and entangled, and then separated and surrounded the entire The hall was spinning and dancing. At this time, the villagers standing outside the groove began to sing in a low voice. The incomprehensible singing echoed in this confined space and made me panic.

The two wisps of white smoke in the air finally slowly descended towards the large rhinoceros horn cup in the center of the hall while chanting. Only then did I see clearly that they were heart-purifying mantras.
