Chapter 208 Return
"Put down the sword."
Wei Ping held the child in one hand and hid a silver needle in the other hand, with the tip of the needle pointing at the child's temple.
Qi Wuhan threw the sword to the ground with a whoosh, his eyes fixed on Wei Ping's actions.
"Stand back."
Qi Wuhan stepped back step by step and said soothingly, "I can agree to anything you want, as long as you don't hurt my child."
"Your Highness, do you know what this is?" Wei Ping turned his gaze towards the pool in front of him.
The golden flower bud, which was more than two people tall, was kept in the round pool, which was filled with a pool of bright red liquid that looked like blood and was very creepy.
"Why don't the high priest talk to me." Qi Wuhan glanced in the direction of the high priest.
Ever since Wei Ping snatched the child away, the high priest hadn't spoken a word. He stood by like an outsider, his gaze fixed on the golden bud. Only after Qi Wuhan pointed it out did the high priest speak, "This flower is called the Forget-Me-Not Flower. It was cultivated by the first high priest over decades. Every hundred years, it will give birth to a Spirit Gu. The purer the bloodline of the sacrifice, the more powerful the Spirit Gu will be. The person parasitized by the Spirit Gu will also gain more powerful divine power. Everything I do is for the future of Beimo. I hope Your Highness will grant me your blessing."
The high priest looked very calm, but this kind of calmness was more terrifying than madness. It was as if he devoutly believed that he was doing the right thing and did not need anyone to judge right or wrong. His mind was free of distractions and he would not be shaken even if the sky fell.
Qi Wuhan knew that it was useless to reason with the other party, so he proposed to exchange himself for the child as a sacrifice.
"If you want to offer a sacrifice, let me do it. My child is innocent."
The high priest said: "Your Highness is the crown prince. Beimo will still need your Highness's protection in the future. As long as Your Highness is willing, there will be more children in the future."
"Bullshit!" Qi Wuhan cursed angrily, "Listen up to me, if you dare to hurt my son, I will destroy this damn spiritual flower of yours and turn the Northern Desert upside down. You don't have to think about the future, there will be no future."
"Alas~" The high priest shook his head and sighed, "Why is Your Highness so stubborn?"
The high priest raised the scepter in his hand and struck the ground. Qi Wuhan felt a heart-wrenching pain in his heart, as if something was drilling inside. The forget-me-not Gu that was parasitic in his heart veins seemed to be awakened again.
As if sensing the breath of the poisonous insect, the golden flower bud that had been silent seemed to be awakened. The flower bud bulged and swelled as if breathing. The flower bud slowly stretched towards Qi Wuhan. At the same time, those tentacle-like golden threads also emerged from it and wrapped around Qi Wuhan.
The golden threads coiled around him again and again, and the parasitic insect in his heart seemed to sense the call and became increasingly agitated. His heart beat violently, almost reaching its limit, and his body temperature rose rapidly, as if it were burning in flames, as if it wanted to burn everything to ashes… Countless voices whispered in his ears, like the demonic sounds of ghosts and monsters, crying and laughing...
When the golden threads completely wrapped him into a golden cocoon and he slowly sank into the pool of blood, Wei Ping walked over to the high priest with the child in his arms and asked, "How do we explain this to His Majesty?"
The high priest looked at the child in his arms and said, "Then keep this child. This child has inherited your Highness's bloodline. In the future, there may be someone among your descendants who awakens the Eagle God bloodline and can be parasitized by even more powerful spiritual Gu."
The high priest glanced at the pool of blood, a trace of regret flashed across his eyes, and said to Wei Ping, "Let's go."
As soon as the two turned around, the blood pool behind them began to move unusually.
I saw bubbles gurgling out of the pool as if it was boiling, and the golden flower buds quickly withered, as if something in the pool was absorbing its power.
The high priest was startled, and then he saw a figure floating up from the bottom of the pool, with golden lines extending from the neck to the face. After the high priest was shocked, his eyes gradually became fanatical, and his whole body became excited. The hand holding the scepter was trembling, as if he was about to witness an unprecedented miracle.
The eyes suddenly opened, and the pupils were like golden animal pupils, flowing with dark golden light. The moment he opened his eyes, an extremely evil and cold aura rushed out in all directions, making the high priest and Wei Ping tremble all over.
Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying was heard in the room.
Wei Ping only felt a shadow passing by in front of his eyes, carrying an evil and cold aura. When he looked down again, the child in his arms was gone. When he looked in the direction of the high priest's excited eyes, he saw the child appear in Qi Wuhan's arms.
He held the child in one hand and the sword thrown on the ground in the other, with the cold and bright tip of the sword pointing directly at the two of them.
"Your Highness, do you still recognize me?" The high priest was so excited that he didn't care about life and death. At this moment, he only had a heart that was seeking the truth.
Wei Ping felt something was wrong. As soon as he moved his feet, he felt a chill on his neck. The sword flashed across his neck at lightning speed. The next moment, a three-foot-high wave of blood splashed in the pool, and the sword was stuck in the pool of blood.
He didn't even have time to say his last words before he knelt straight on the ground, breathless.
When the golden pupils met the high priest's fanatical and excited eyes, the high priest seemed to be possessed by his soul. His pupils suddenly shrank, and a smile remained frozen on his face.
Qi Wuhan turned around holding the child and disappeared in a flash.
…….
One night five days later, Jiang Lan was sitting by the cradle and shaking a rattle for the child when Ling Feng came over with a child in his arms.
Ling Feng said something, Jiang Lan's expression changed, and the rattle in her hand fell to the ground with a snap.
"Madam, the Marquis is missing."
When Jiang Lan heard the word "missing", she felt a buzzing in her head, as if she could not hear anything... until she heard the word "Madam" again, she gradually came back to her senses.
Ling Feng called her several times before she responded.
"Madam, don't be anxious." Ling Feng had just finished speaking when the child in his arms started crying, as if he was woken up. Ling Feng was a little at a loss. Qing'er came over and took the child away to show Jiang Lan. When Jiang Lan took the child, the child stopped crying.
Holding the child she had lost and found, she finally felt at ease. After sorting out her messy thoughts, she asked, "What on earth happened?"
When Ling Feng brought Jiang Lan to the wing room to see An Yue, An Yue was covered in wounds and her clothes were stained with blood.
At that time, he brought two shadows to escort the child back. After handing the child to Ling Feng, he fell straight to the ground.
An Yue woke up after being in a coma for two days. Ling Feng immediately sent someone to report to Jiang Lan. When Jiang Lan rushed over, An Yue fainted again, but before she fell into a coma, she told Ling Feng all the key information.
The high priest wanted to sacrifice the child, Qi Wuhan killed the high priest and took the child back, then handed the child to An Yue and left. An Yue brought people to escort the child back overnight.
After Dark Moon regained consciousness, the two obtained more detailed information from him.
At that time, after killing the White Tiger Elder, An Yue was already seriously injured. Qi Wu Han suddenly appeared in front of him, holding the child. His pupils were golden. After handing the child to him, he said word by word, "Little Lan'er."
Just like someone who has just learned to speak.
After saying these three words, he seemed to no longer be able to control the murderous intent in his eyes, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
Jiang Lan is going to find him, no matter where he is, she will bring him back!
"If Madam can trust me, I will definitely bring the Marquis back!"
Jiang Lan has not yet finished her confinement and is still weak, unable to withstand long-distance travel.
Ling Feng promised to find the person and set off that day.
......
One day passed, two days passed... Jiang Lan would stand at the gate for an hour or so every day, not allowing Qing'er and Gui'er to follow her. She stared at the entrance of the alley, almost becoming a husband-waiting stone.
That day, she was standing at the door looking at the alley entrance as usual, when she suddenly heard the sound of wheel turning. Fearing that she was hallucinating, she hurried out to listen carefully, and then she saw a carriage driving towards her from the alley entrance.
She ran over immediately and saw that it was Ling Feng who was driving. She ran faster and faster, wishing she could grow a pair of wings and fly over directly.
When she ran to the carriage, she was so anxious that she couldn't even speak.
At this time, the curtain of the car was lifted, and Xie Yun stuck his head out and grinned, "Sister Lan, I brought your brother-in-law back~"
He stepped aside, and Jiang Lan saw the person sitting in the innermost seat, and excitedly rushed in and hugged him.
After holding him for a while, she realized that the person was tied up, and then she found that there was another person in the carriage.
Jiang Lan glanced at Qi Wuhan who was tied up, then at Ye Rushui, and then at Xie Yun and Ling Feng. The three of them were avoiding her gaze.
"Sister Lan, listen to me and I'll tell you slowly." Xie Yun put his hands to his mouth and looked at it, saying, "My brother-in-law has gone insane."
......
In the next two years, Jiang Lan taught Qi Wuhan to read and speak again as if she were taking care of a child, and he would only become gentle and non-aggressive in front of her.
One night, Jiang Lan woke up from her dream when she felt that he was not by her side. When she woke up, there was indeed no one beside her. She found that the door was still open. She was so panicked that she ran out without even putting on her shoes, fearing that he would suddenly disappear again and she would never find him again...
When she ran out, she saw him standing in the yard, and at that moment she was so happy that she wanted to cry.
When she walked over gently, she saw him looking at the moon in the sky.
The moonlight was clear and bright, reflecting in his eyes that were as black as obsidian, sparkling with a clear light.
"Xiao Lan'er." He suddenly called her, his voice as gentle as before.
Jiang Lan was stunned for a moment, not realizing he was calling her. When she turned to look at him, his peach blossom eyes smiled gently at her, as if a peach tree was in full bloom...
He held her in his arms and whispered softly in her ear, "Xiao Lan'er, I miss you so much."
"You still remember missing me. If you dare to forget me again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!" She hugged him very tightly, and her tears rolled down his chest like pearls.
"Say it again."
"Xiao Lan'er, I miss you so much, Xiao Lan'er, I miss you so much..."
From now on, year after year, year after year, you must never forget it.
