Chapter 285 Adapting to the Darkness
Nan Mubai has met Lu Chaochao.
He looks stupid and silly, and doesn't seem to be very smart.
He doesn't look very smart.
The blood of women in the South is closer to the gods, so the royal women of the South will never marry outside the country, and the daughters they give birth to are extremely precious.
His sister is the most talented person in the South Country in the past hundred years.
Her mother protected her very well, and even she herself rarely had contact with her.
"Yes. The girl's name is Lu Chaochao, and she will be three years old soon."
"Emperor Beizhao values her very much and takes her with him during all sacrifices."
"She looks silly and foolish, how can she compare to our little princess from the South." The young eunuch behind him agreed with a smile.
Nan Mubai's face suddenly fell.
The young eunuch knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Drag him away." He said coldly, and the servants behind him covered the little eunuch's mouth and dragged him away.
Outside the yard, the Hydra chewed it into pieces with a few crunches.
A new eunuch immediately took over.
"Is my sister comparable to a mortal woman like Lu Chaochao? You are insulting my sister!" Nan Mubai sneered.
The man behind him looked slightly gloomy.
"You let the Hydra eat people just because he flattered you. That's too cruel!" The man was imposing and looked quite righteous.
This was a close minister sent by the old emperor himself to help him search for his daughter who was living outside.
"My sister is the most talented woman in the Southern Kingdom at summoning gods. The hope of the entire Southern Kingdom rests on her. He deserves to die for insulting the princess. If Lord Ming has so much time to spare, why not think about how to summon the gods?"
"Ming family, you haven't summoned any gods for worship in ten years, so you should worry more about yourselves." Nan Mubai curled his lips slightly, with mockery in his eyes.
The Ming family, who worship Xianting, the god of life, has not summoned a miracle in ten years.
"Your Highness, don't worry about the affairs of the Ming family. Your Highness should find the princess as soon as possible and return to the capital as soon as possible so that His Majesty can rest assured." Minglang's expression was indifferent. He came here this time to protect the princess who was stranded outside, and nothing could happen.
The Nan Fengyu lineage is growing stronger day by day. His Majesty is worried that something might happen to his daughter who is living outside, so he has been secretly investigating over the years.
"What if I find the blood of a mortal?"
"It's just to make Grandfather Emperor feel at ease." Nan Mubai chuckled, with disdain revealed between his brows.
"Without a trace of divine power, I cannot summon the gods, and it is of no benefit to the Southland."
"Your Highness should keep a low profile. The last time Lord Zongbai appeared in Beizhao, he did not accept the royal summons. I wonder what went wrong. Bring Xiangliu to the palace tomorrow, and don't scare His Majesty Beizhao. Beizhao has become increasingly powerful in recent years, like a sleeping dragon. Even Your Majesty is unwilling to be their enemy." Minglang did not want to argue with him, so he turned around and left.
Nan Mubai rolled his eyes.
What kind of sleeping dragon is Bei Zhao?
The Southern Kingdom has always been a powerful place, but the Northern Kingdom was once a swamp.
A group of barbarians, a group of mortals, were not taken seriously at all.
When passing by the yard, Minglang smelled a strong smell of blood in the air and glanced unhappily at the nine-headed giant snake hovering in the yard.
The vicious beast Xiangliu feeds on mortals. He has written to the emperor countless times, asking him to seal Xiangliu.
But Princess Nan Fengyu refused. The emperor was old and could no longer check his daughter who was becoming increasingly powerful, so he had to let her do what she wanted.
Xiangliu sensed the malice and raised his head arrogantly.
There was blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, revealing a chilling and terrifying look.
The god of life worshipped by Minglang represents vitality and hope, and he dislikes such ferocious beasts that feed on humans the most.
Minglang concealed his annoyance and turned away.
Back in the room, he sat cross-legged on the couch.
He looked dazed and slightly dazed.
"God, why don't you accept our call?"
"What happened to you?"
Minglang pursed his lips slightly. Over the years, the call from the God of Xianting has become weaker and weaker, and the divine power left for the God's servants has also become weaker and weaker.
The Ming family had a hard time.
Everyone in the Ming family was extremely anxious as they watched their powerful family decline.
He sat cross-legged on the couch, the moonlight falling on him through the window.
He made hand gestures quickly.
The man's hair danced lightly in the wind.
A faint glow appeared on his body: "The believers respectfully invite the God of Xianting to come to the world."
"The believers clearly and respectfully invite the God of the Garden to descend to the world."
After calling out three times, there was still no response.
The hope in Minglang's eyes slowly faded.
late at night.
The Duke of the Protectorate stood by his grandson's bedside and asked, "How is Siqi's eyes?"
The head of the Imperial Hospital shook his head slightly: "It is said that there is a kind of night blindness, which will make people lose their sight at night. But they will return to normal after turning on the lights."
"Mr. Li's eyes, the reason for which has not yet been found."
He searched through all the ancient books but did not find any record of it.
Li Siqi covered his eyes with a white cloth: "Grandfather, don't worry. Siqi has been used to this for many years."
The Duke Protector of the Country looked at his grandson with pity.
Li Siqi is the eldest grandson of the Duke of Huguo. He has been calm and steady since childhood and is an extremely outstanding child.
Unfortunately, he suffers from eye disease.
After sending the imperial physician away, the old lady looked at her grandson and wiped away tears.
"What will happen to your eyes? You won't be completely blind in the future..."
The old lady didn't dare to say it out loud; her heart trembled at the mere thought of it.
Normally, I was only blind at night, but last time I fainted, I was blind for three whole days and could not see during the day or at night.
"Don't talk nonsense. The Fourth Prince had a conflict with Your Majesty back then. He was raised in the Huguo Temple since he was young, and he recovered to be normal later, didn't he?" The Duke of Huguo shook his head at the old woman. His eldest daughter-in-law was crying beside him.
"Mom, it'll be okay. My son is blessed with great fortune and will definitely recover." Li Siqi smiled.
"Yes, my son is a kind-hearted person. He doesn't even want to hurt a blade of grass by the roadside. How could God treat him so badly?" The eldest lady wiped the tears from her face.
Li Siqi has been kind-hearted since he was a child. In his eyes, it is extremely difficult for trees, flowers and plants to grow, and he respects all life in the world.
Even if it's just a blade of grass.
"Mom, I'm tired. I want to rest..." Li Siqi pulled his mother's arm and said with a smile.
The Duke Protector of the Country and his wife and the eldest lady then walked out of the door.
There was only a servant left in the room serving.
Li Siqi stood up slowly and walked towards the table little by little.
"Master, would you like some tea? I'll pour it for you..." Just as the servant was about to step forward, he saw the master raising his hand to refuse.
"After so many years, I should get used to life without eyes." He always had a premonition.
Your eyes will gradually lose their sight.
Recently, he could clearly feel that his eyes were not as bright as before and he could not see things as clearly as before.
"Master..." The servant almost cried out.
"Don't tell my parents and grandparents, so as not to make them worry." His eyes are incurable and will only add to his troubles.
The servant had no choice but to agree while crying.
Li Siqi walked around the room and opened the door again.
"Stand guard at the gate and don't let grandpa and grandma get close." He gradually adapted to the darkness in the yard and made sure to understand everything in the house clearly.
He must remember every brick, every stone, and every blade of grass.
He opened his arms and walked slowly in the yard.
The maids and servants lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
Outside the courtyard gate, the Duke of Protectorate's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and the iron-willed old general was in tears.
late at night.
After washing up, Li Siqi lay down on the bed.
In deep sleep, I seemed to hear a faint call: Please... Xianting...
The sound is ethereal, like a dream.
