Of course, in the end, nothing was accomplished, and all the efforts became empty words and turned into nothing.
As time became more and more urgent, something went wrong on Xie's father's side.
The cause was that the substitute, knowing that he was about to replace the dying Xie Zhiyi and become the new generation of living sacrifice, was so depressed that he committed suicide.
The Xie family fell into a rare panic. After Xie's father used tough measures to calm his subordinates, he began a large-scale search for his illegitimate son.
As long as there is one with the Nine Yin Body, he can be used to make up the number.
But how could the Xie family have so many good things in the world? When Xie Zhiyi's life was hanging by a thread, the people sent by Xie's father were unable to find a person with the Nine Yin Body. Not to mention the Nine Yin Body, even those born with it were few and far between.
Seeing that the Xie family's skyscraper was crumbling, the Xie family members finally started to panic.
If Xie Zhiyi, one of the "dragon veins" of the Xie family, died, the thing that had maintained the Xie family's fortune for a hundred years would be completely destroyed.
Where will they go to share eternal prosperity and wealth then?
The pressure was put on Xie's father. Both the clan leader and the relatives who depended on the Xie family for their livelihood forced Xie's father to give an explanation.
Under pressure, Xie's father found the descendants of the founder who opened the altar to try to extend Xie Zhiyi's life.
"Master, please save us. I can give you whatever you want." Xie's father lowered his noble head for this. He was willing to sacrifice anything as long as he could save the fortune of the Xie family.
The master shook his head and sighed, "Everything has its own destiny. The Xie family is destined to come to an end."
"Is there no way to save us?"
The master asked in return: "Don't you know who you have offended?"
The master had warned Xie's family long ago that their evil deeds would lead to their own destruction. But how could such arrogant people listen to the advice of their subordinates?
Just as one will not be anxious unless the fire reaches one's eyebrows, they will only blame the patriarch's incompetence for the family's downfall and will never face up to the mistakes they made in the past.
As for the victim Xie Zhiyi, no one cared about him when the flowers were in full bloom and the moon was full, and Avalanche Mountain would pay even less attention to him.
"Master, is there really no other way? As long as there's a glimmer of hope, I'm willing to try."
The Xie family's prosperity for a hundred years was not only due to the burial objects, but also the efforts of several generations. Xie's father did not believe that without Xie Zhiyi, the Xie family would fall into ruin.
We are already in the 21st century. Can't the problems left over from feudalism be solved by science?
Even if Xie Zhiyi died today, wouldn’t the Xie family still have money to squander?
Of course, it would be best if Xie Zhiyi's life could be saved, but if that is not possible, we can only think of the next best method.
"Go and ask for help from Taoist He."
Taoist Priest He, He Wenxiu?
Didn’t Lao Jin say that He Wenxiu was dead? How come she is still alive?
Xie's father said expressionlessly, "How can a young boy like him be as proficient in Buddhism as the master? Master, are you kidding me?"
"He has the Nine Sun Body. His blood can keep your son alive. Don't you know that?"
Xie's father was too busy with his work to check the castle's surveillance cameras, and he always thought his son had fallen in love with a man out of his mind. He never expected that it was actually to save his life.
"Just kill him and let my son eat him, then my son can live, right?"
The master said: "Amitabha, Buddhism does not advocate killing. As long as he willingly gives his life to the Xie family, the Xie family can still retain its fortune for ten years."
"Ten years is too short."
Father Xie sighed helplessly and chose to compromise.
Ten years is ten years, it won't be hard to find a replacement in ten years. At worst, he can just work harder and have a few more children, so there will always be a suitable one.
After Xie's father had someone thank the master handsomely, the driver took him to the villa.
This was his first time setting foot in the villa. Back then, to be cruel enough, he had had people move out after Xie Zhiyi was born. Xie's father had never cared about his life or death.
Now, in order to convince his disappointing son, he can only repeat his mistakes and use tough measures to force him to face reality.
Fortunately, everyone was there when Xie's father arrived.
He looked at Xie Zhiyi lying on the bed with a frown.
He had a skinny body, a face as pale as paper, no flesh on his face, and deeply sunken eye sockets, showing no sign of vitality.
Facing such a dead face, he didn't say a word of blame. He didn't even dare to speak loudly, for fear that Xie Zhiyi would get too emotional and die.
"Son, I'm here to see you."
Xie Zhiyi opened his eyes and looked at the stranger sitting beside the bed. His heart was as calm as water, without a single ripple.
If time went faster, he would rather die than see this disgusting man.
What qualifications does he have to be a father? No, not even a single qualification.
"You..." Father Xie couldn't come up with anything heartfelt, so he just told the truth. "Where's He Wenxiu?"
"I don't know." Maybe he went to the kitchen, or somewhere else. It didn't matter. He didn't care anyway. Because he would come to accompany him sooner or later.
Ever since sending Wen Rong away, He Wenxiu has often been out of sight.
Xie Zhiyi had complained a few times, but thinking that time was running out, he no longer had the desire to continue.
They agreed to die together. In the last moment of his life, he hoped that He Wenxiu would accompany him instead of this hypocritical old man saying those hypocritical and disgusting words to him.
"Xie Zhiyi, He Wenxiu likes you, right?"
Xie Zhiyi nodded. Yes, He Wenxiu liked him.
Xie's father was delighted to hear this. "How could he be so cunning in liking you? Between you two..."
"Get out." Xie Zhiyi closed his eyes, not wanting to listen to his father's nonsense.
"Listen to me, you have to make He Wenxiu willingly give his life to you, so that you can live forever. Don't you want to live?"
Who doesn’t want to live?
His wishes since childhood have been related to staying alive, and he did not want to give up the desire to survive even at the last moment.
But he was not willing to exchange his life for He Wenxiu's.
He couldn't be as selfish as Xie's father and drag people to death. Trading lives for lives was too cruel, and he didn't want to live with a guilty conscience.
If possible, he hopes to go with He Wenxiu, so that he can have a companion on the road to the underworld and not feel so lonely.
Father Xie was still chattering, but none of his words were what he wanted to hear.
Xie Zhiyi opened his eyes when the door opened. The person who slowly walked towards the door was the one he had been thinking about. He couldn't help but smile and said, "You are finally here."
"He Wenxiu." Father Xie was about to say something, but Xu Jing interrupted him. "I'll give you a satisfactory answer. Can you please leave first?"
Xie's father sighed. "Five minutes, I'll give you five minutes."
That's enough.
After Xu Jing watched Xie's father leave, he took out a bracelet from his pocket and put it on Xie Zhiyi's hand.
"Why did you give me the jade bracelet?"
