Extra 2: The Qi Family Brothers and Sisters
When Qi was pregnant, she passed by a crossroads.
There was a unique stone on the road, shining brightly, even more dazzling than gold and silver, and looked very expensive.
Seeing that there was no one around, she put the stone in her arms and continued on her way.
Qi's husband died early, and she lived alone for a long time.
But with her unborn child about to be born, she had no choice but to cross the mountains alone to return to her parents' home, praying for some help. She had originally called herself the jinx that would bring her husband to his death, but everything changed after she found that stone.
Her arrival brought heavy rain to her mother's hometown, which was always dry.
With the rain, crops no longer withered and people no longer suffered from hunger.
Even my seriously ill mother gradually got better.
The title of "disaster star" was gradually forgotten and replaced by "lucky star".
In her first year, she gave birth to a son, Qi Sheng. When Qi Sheng arrived, the sky was filled with colorful clouds, which the people regarded as an auspicious sign. In her fifth year, she gave birth to a daughter, Qi Yu. When she arrived, a seven-colored rainbow appeared.
But the stone that she regarded as a treasure disappeared out of thin air one day.
As Qi Sheng grew up, his relatives gradually passed away.
Before his mother passed away, she told him that the world's view of their transformation was due to the magical stone. Although the stone disappeared, the good fortune really happened to them and their son.
That unique stone must be a gift from the gods. Therefore, we should be respectful to the gods.
Qi Sheng and Qi Yu depend on each other in a small house.
A few years later, an old man who claimed to be an immortal found this house and told him the secret of the "stone".
That is not a stone, but the immortal bone from the body of a god a hundred years ago.
God loves the world, and she saw the suffering of the Qi family through the immortal bones.
The immortal bone contained spiritual energy, and when it reached the dry land, it brought a heavy rain. It was never the stone that brought people luck, but the god who could not bear the suffering of the people.
"Now, the immortal bone has been split in two, one in you and one in your sister. You have accepted the grace of the gods, so naturally you must make some sacrifices." Qi Xizhi looked at him straight in the eye. "Now, I need someone to guard the secret realm for the immortal world. Are you willing?"
Qi Sheng hesitated.
It’s not that he is selfish, but his sister is still young and needs him to take care of her.
Qi Xizhi didn't care about these things. If he didn't want to, he would arrest his sister Qi Yu.
Qi Sheng had no choice but to compromise.
They gave him two days to deal with his affairs on earth, and when the time came, they would come to take him away.
Qi Sheng gave his sister to a distant relative and mortgaged his house to the other party, only begging the man to take good care of his sister. He also gave most of the money in the house to the man, leaving only a small portion for Qi Yu.
Qi Yu is still young and cannot survive without his family.
After hiding his sister, he followed the immortals and left the mortal world.
Ren Zhao spoke nicely and told him to guard the secret realm, but he didn't expect that it would require drawing power from the immortal bones in his body and consuming his lifespan.
Because he had immortal bones in his body, his lifespan was longer than that of ordinary people, which was exactly what they wanted.
The double torture he suffered physically and mentally made him want to escape countless times. Unfortunately, he failed every time and was caught by the other party and forced to endure the whipping again.
He was pierced by chains and hung on the stone wall, dying.
"Forget it." He faced the pitch-black surroundings, his eyes empty as he muttered to himself, "Now that they have me, they won't bother my sister. As long as my sister can live a happy life, that's enough."
He had lost all desire to survive and was too lazy to even escape. Even if Ren Zhao Jin came to visit him, he was too lazy to even open his eyelids, and there was no ripple in his heart.
Just wait until the lifespan is consumed.
As long as I die, it will be fine.
-
Qi Yu was adopted by her distant cousin.
My cousin is a profit-driven person who will do anything for the sake of profit. He smiled heartily when he accepted the house, and kept saying that he would treat Qi Yu as his own daughter. In fact, she had lived like a mouse for many years.
In her life, there has never been the word "eating".
Only after her cousin's family had finished their meal could she sneak over to pick up some leftovers to fill her stomach.
Qi Yu didn't know that his brother had been arrested.
Her cousin always said that she was an unwanted child and that her only brother regarded her as a burden and abandoned her.
But she didn't believe it.
The brother in my memory clearly liked her very much.
When she was young, her family was frugal and her brother always wore old clothes, but he never hesitated to buy her new clothes. He would also buy a lot of delicious cakes and candies to make her happy.
How could such a good brother suddenly leave her and think she was a burden?
It was cold at night and she had no room to sleep, so she could only curl up in the pile of thatch in the yard to keep warm.
Unable to resist the sleepiness, she fell asleep in a daze and had a dream.
In the dream, her brother did not abandon her.
Instead, his brother was captured by people from the fairy world and forced to guard a place with his life.
She just thought that it was God's pity on her and he couldn't bear to let her be kept in the dark.
Little did she know that it was because half of the celestial bone in her body was resonating with the half of the celestial bone in Qi Sheng's body.
After waking up from the dream, she packed a small package without telling her cousin's family, left without saying a word, and set out on the journey to find her brother.
But people always say that gods can ride on clouds and the fairyland is naturally in the sky.
How could she, a mere mortal, possibly walk to heaven on her own two feet?
So she asked around and happened to meet a man in a restaurant who claimed to be an immortal. The man showed himself, and Qi Yu was convinced from the bottom of her heart that this man could definitely take her to the immortal world.
As long as we go to the fairyland, there will be a way to rescue my brother!
She drank the pot of wine handed to her by the immortal.
Amidst the crying, she opened her eyes blankly and found herself in a shabby carriage with several dusty women sitting next to her.
The person who handed him the wine jug was indeed an immortal.
But he is also a kidnapper.
She screamed like crazy in the carriage: "I want to go to the fairyland! I want to save my brother!"
Everyone around her thought she was crazy, and none of the kidnappers paid any attention to her. One kidnapper thought she was too noisy, so he stopped his carriage by the roadside, walked up to her and slapped her hard several times.
"A foolish and ignorant wild girl is worthy of entering the fairyland?"
The kidnappers laughed loudly.
But she couldn't hear it.
The voices in her ears gradually faded. After a while, she saw a girl who looked somewhat like her. But her eyes were bright and lively, even more beautiful than the fairies she had seen in the storybooks.
The most important thing is that the man gave her a very familiar feeling.
Qi Yu told her what happened in his dream and made a deal with her.
As long as she can rescue her brother, she will not regret her decision today, even if she will eventually face the fate of being torn to pieces.
That person was indeed very powerful. He actually stopped her soul which was about to dissipate and threw it into the cycle of reincarnation.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that the sense of familiarity came from the sage bone in her body.
She was able to meet that person because of the guidance of the celestial bone. The celestial bone emitted a slight humming sound, and it turned out that person was the owner of this celestial bone.
She will never know.
Fortunately, she knew that her brother did not abandon her or despise her, and that he loved her from beginning to end.
Just like she has always loved her brother.
That's enough.
