Monument of Life and Death

Yiyao and Li Muyuan looked at each other, and it was Yi Yao who finally spoke.

“Do you know anything about the ancestors of the Four Xia?” Yi Yao asked first.

Xiaolan felt that she had some say, so she cleared her throat.

“We only know that it is a woman,” Xiaolan said thoughtfully, “Her life insect is also a snake.”

As for what Aunt Long said that Xiao Lan was similar to the Four Xia Yuanzu, Xiao Lan selectively filtered it out.

"That's right," Yi Yao nodded, "the Four Xia Yuanzu is different from other Four Xia family heads, and even other Four Xia people. The Four Xia Yuanzu's life insects do not have four sounds."

"There is no Si Ming?" Xiaolan's head turned, "Then the ancestor of the Four Xia...died?"

"No, the Four Xia Yuanzu also died in the battle," Yi Yao's eyes were filled with admiration, "It's just that the Four Xia Yuanzu did not choose to let the life bug leave the body, but retained the last cry. She In exchange for Yuanzu Siming, Yuanzu Life Insect will bless the descendants of Sixia."

"That is to say..." Xiaolan didn't know what it meant, because she actually didn't understand it. "Uh, that is to say..."

"That is to say, the Four Xia Yuanzu gave up the use of the life insect Si Ming. Therefore, when she passed away, the contract between the life insect and her was still there. However, because the Four Xia Yuanzu was dead, the Yuanzu Life Insect had to stay in Si Xia. , bless every subsequent Sixia family head from generation to generation."

"In this way, each family head of the Four Summers, in addition to his own four sounds, can also use the four sounds of the ancestor's life insect once," the Taoist priest concluded, "and using the four sounds of the ancestor will not harm them. Make an impact yourself.”

Yi Yao agreed, "That's what it means."

“However, so far, none of the Four Xia family heads have used the Yuanzu Si Ming,” Li Muyuan said, “It’s like it was an internal agreement within the Four Xia.”

"This is normal," Xiaolan looked at the faces of the other people and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't use it... After all, it is something left by the ancestors. Once it is used, it will never be used again. ”

"And what if the ancestor's life bug is gone and the people of Sixia can no longer practice bug," Qin Yin also said, "Although the possibility is very small, it does not mean that it is impossible."

"This is one of the guesses," Yi Yao said. "There is another theory circulating about this matter..."

 “What does it mean?”

Xiaolan looked at Yi Yao, but she was thinking in her heart, as expected, everyone can't escape the nature of gossiping. This is a family matter of the head of the Sixia family. As a result, two speculations have spread among the "public".

 “Si Xia is waiting.”

Jasmine, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Only then did Xiaolan think of Jasmine. Jasmine's face was pale and her lips were trembling slightly. It could be seen that Jasmine might be on the verge of collapse, but for Jasmine, this feeling of standing on the edge of a cliff was no longer something she could feel. It couldn’t be any stranger.

Yiyao turned her head to look at Jasmine and nodded.

 “Jasmine is right.”

 “What are you waiting for?” asked the Taoist priest.

"Actually, according to rumors, the Sixia family heads in the past did not use the Yuanzu Siming because... they couldn't use it." Yi Yao scratched her head in embarrassment, "Therefore, not only the Sixia family is waiting, but also the Yuanzu Life Insect is waiting. Waiting, waiting for someone who can use it.”

"Ah..." Xiaolan was speechless, "Have you ever asked Sixia for confirmation?"

“Of course,” Yi Yao shrugged, “They said it was nonsense.”

 Xiaolan was even more speechless.

 What mentality and trend led Yi Yao to make such a statement at this time?

"Okay," Jasmine interrupted this outrageous conversation and said with a frown, "In short, when Xia Hua... Sister Xia Hua's life insect left just now, you saw that it left the original ancestor Si Ming to Xia Ni Bar?"

Xiaolan thought about it for a moment, "Oh, the red snake spit out a black bead, and the bead fell on Xia Ni's head and disappeared."

"Yes, that's it," Jasmine sighed softly, "It seems...Xia Ni has really become the head of the Sixia family now."

“Is he the first male head of the family in the Four Xia dynasties?” Li Muyuan asked. "I heard that there seemed to be a male head of the family a long time ago," Yi Yao said, "I just haven't verified it, so I don't know whether it's true or not."

It seems that the relationship within your nine sects is also complicated and confusing. There are so many things that you don’t understand about each other.

“But these are digressions,” Jasmine said, “What are we going to do next?”

Yi Yao didn’t think much about it and raised his hand to point forward, “Have you seen that door?”

“Of course,” the Taoist priest said, “the door is open, as if to invite us.”

"But at present... we have no other choice." Yi Yao said.

This is true.

Xiaolan looked at the door.

 But for some reason, I always feel...somewhat resistant.

Everyone walked towards the door without saying a word. Xiaolan followed the Taoist priest and suddenly felt his sleeve being pulled by someone.

"Um?"

Xiaolan turned around and saw Lao Luo.

 “Uncle Luo?” Xiaolan was surprised, “You…”

"Shh-" Lao Luo raised his hand to signal her to be silent, then leaned into Xiao Lan's ear and said in a voice that only she could hear, "Xiao Lan, there is danger in that door."

Xiao Lan's expression changed immediately. She was about to say something, but was stopped by Lao Luo.

 “Don’t say anything, don’t stop, keep moving forward,” Lao Luo’s voice sounded serious, “Xiaolan, it’s very dangerous inside, you must be careful.”

Xiaolan couldn't speak and could only try to express her confusion with her eyes.

 There is danger, why not stop everyone from entering?

 And...why are you saying this only to me?

 But Lao Luo obviously didn't intend to answer her question. After finishing speaking, Lao Luo patted Xiao Lan on the back, and then calmly followed the pace of the large team as if nothing was wrong.

Xiaolan was left alone and messy.

Yi Yao came to the door first and looked inside.

 Before walking to the door, Xiaolan smelled a strange smell.

It is the smell of plants, some like grass and some like pine trees.

 “What does it smell like?” Xiaolan sniffed, “It’s so weird.”

"It's a bit like resin," Baomu's voice was still a little hoarse, "it came from the door."

 The world inside the door is dim yellow, the light is not bright, and the area inside is very large, so it is difficult to identify the specific appearance, and only some outlines can be seen vaguely.

Thinking of what Lao Luo said just now, Xiaolan's back felt numb. She hesitated, "It looks so scary. Do we really want to go in?"

“Other than going in, we don’t know where to go,” Luo Jiutian said.

Xiao Lan closed her eyes in despair, thinking that Lao Luo didn't even tell her son, only herself.

 The pressure is too much.
