Five hundred and twentieth chapters get tree lotus
Chapter 522: Obtaining the Tree Lotus
Ji Chang sighed: "Many people think that we tolerate them because of the expensive gifts they gave us back then. In fact, what are those gifts? My Ji family has been in existence since ancient times. Although those things are good, we just
Do you really take it seriously?"
"Then why?" Ji Yuyan looked at her grandfather suspiciously
Ji Chang sighed and was silent for a long time. A look of struggle flashed in his eyes before he slowly said: "Li Si who died today was the biological son of the Holy Emperor."
Qin Li didn't feel anything after hearing this, because he didn't know who the Holy Emperor was at all, but Ji Yuyan was shocked, and her pink face suddenly turned pale.
He lost his voice and said: "This... how is this possible? How could the Holy Emperor's son... possibly do such a thing? How could the Holy Emperor allow him to be born? Isn't it said that the Holy Emperor's family is not born?"
Ji Chang pointed to the tall lotus tree outside with a wry smile and said: "Our Ji family, every hundred thousand years, when the lotus tree bears fruit, we will send 30% of the filial piety to the Holy Emperor. But a hundred years ago, your parents
A special potion was cultivated that allowed the tree lotus to bloom and bear fruit in a short period of time. However, this matter was leaked by a traitor in the family, so the Holy Emperor sent someone to inquire. At that time, all the tree lotus fruits had been picked.
, and most of them were taken by you, so we naturally deny this."
Ji Chang said, looking deeply at the tall lotus trees outside, and said slowly: "But not long after, your aunt came over. At that time, we didn't think anything was wrong, until later, your parents suddenly became violent.
Damn it, when your aunt brought the man named Li Si over, we found out that Li Si poisoned your parents, so we wanted to kill their whole family.
Now, to avenge your parents, your mother's family, although it is a little powerful, is far inferior to my Ji family. Besides, this matter itself is that they were in the wrong first, but they thought we wanted it later.
When we started, Li Si suddenly revealed his identity. Of course we didn't believe it, so we sent someone to ask the Holy Emperor for instructions. My child, do you know what the Holy Emperor said?"
"Did the Holy Emperor admit it?" Ji Yuyan looked in disbelief.
Ji Chang shook his head helplessly and said: "The Holy Emperor will naturally not admit it, but he did say that Li Si is one of his juniors. Juniors like to mess around, so the old man should not get involved..."
When Ji Chang said this, he glanced at Qin Li, and then said: "Later, some guards from the Holy Emperor quietly came to our family, gave us a lot of treasures, and told me that Li Si was an illegitimate son of the Holy Emperor.
, although he is shady and the Holy Emperor does not like him, but this
After all, they are the blood and bones of the Holy Emperor. The Holy Emperor cannot watch his children being killed... Yan'er, now, do you understand why we have tolerated them for so many years? You know, here in Jijiagu, ever since your parents died
Finally, this is my first time here, and my heart feels uncomfortable."
Ji Yuyan sat there with her eyes a little dazed. After a long time, she revealed a sad smile and said, "Then if I kill him today, won't it cause big trouble for the family?"
Ji Chang smiled faintly and said: "My Ji family is very powerful in this extremely cold land of ice and snow. If we really fight, we may not be afraid of the Holy Emperor. What can we do? At most, we can hand over a scapegoat to calm the Holy Emperor.
It’s enough to give him a way out of the emperor’s anger.”
Ji Chang's words were an understatement, but both Ji Yuyan and Qin Li knew that things would not be that simple. At this time, Qin Li suddenly thought of a question and asked: "Senior Ji, this junior has a question. I don't know what to ask."
Isn’t it appropriate to ask?”
"Haha, young man, you ask." Ji Chang seemed to be very satisfied with Qin Li and said with a smile.
"Since my uncle and aunt developed a special potion that can promote the growth of tree lotus, has the formula of this potion been lost now? Why doesn't the Ji family use this thing to cultivate a large number of masters? In that case, there is no need to be afraid.
Who?"
Hearing Qin Li calling her parents uncle and aunt, Ji Yuyan's pretty face turned red and her eyes were a little dodgey, not daring to look at her grandfather.
Ji Chang sighed and said helplessly: "That potion was developed not long ago by Yan'er's parents. They did have some manuscripts at that time, but after their death, those manuscripts mysteriously disappeared."
"Could it be that Li Si and the others took over?" Qin Li asked
Ji Chang shook his head and said: "Maybe it is possible, but the manuscript is not complete, otherwise, they would not have lived here for hundreds of years."
As Ji Chang spoke, he glanced at the wooden box in Ji Yuyan's hand and said, "He stopped you from taking away this wooden box today because he must have thought that the remaining manuscripts were in this wooden box."
Ji Yuyan suddenly raised her head, looked at her grandfather with clear eyes and said, "Does grandpa think so too?"
Ji Chang shook his head and said: "That manuscript, even if someone gets it, is of little use. The number of botanists in this world is already very small. Without botanists, there is no way to prepare that kind of medicine. Moreover, even if they are here
If you wait another thousand years, you won't be able to get all the information on the medicine. Your father told me back then that only 80% of the manuscript for making that special medicine was written down, and the other 20% was in his and your mother's minds."
When Qin Li heard this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. He thought that Ji Yuyan's parents were not simple back then. They didn't write the entire manuscript. I'm afraid that this is what happened today?
"That's it," Ji Yuyan said softly, then reached out and opened the wooden box about a foot square in her hand.
Inside, a withered lotus occupies more than half of the wooden box, sitting there quietly. Here, there is a golden phoenix hairpin and a colorful wooden doll. In addition, this wooden
Inside the box, there is nothing
Seeing these things, Ji Yuyan's eyes instantly became gentle, as if she had suddenly returned to the carefree days of her childhood.
"Tree lotus?" Ji Chang's eyes were sharp and he could tell what this dried flower was at a glance.
Ji Yuyan nodded, closed the wooden box, and handed it to Qin Li. Qin Li casually put it into the storage ring. Ji Yuyan said at this time: "Grandpa, what are you going to do next? I didn't expect that my aunt,
She turns out to be the daughter-in-law of the Holy Emperor, how does grandpa plan to settle them?"
Ji Chang said slowly: "Both mother and daughter are no longer suitable to continue living in this world. They all see what happened today. If we just find a scapegoat, they will not agree. Yan'er, this
What do you think about this matter?"
"I..." Although her aunt participated in the killing of her parents, even if she was not involved, she was at least an insider, but she still felt a little unbearable to kill them like this.
Qin Li said softly at this time: "Senior Ji is right to do this. After they all died, he sent the bodies directly to that holy emperor. He said that the cause of death was the same as that of Yuyan's parents. The Ji family will investigate
If you don’t come out, there is nothing you can do. Please ask the Holy Emperor to help you investigate.”
Ji Yuyan said: "In that case, wouldn't the Holy Emperor know at a glance that his son was poisoned? How could they not see the poison in their own family?"
"Haha, so what if you can tell? Admit that the poison is from his family? Then the cause of your parents' death..." Qin Li said this and stopped talking.
Ji Yuyan was slightly startled, blinked, and then said: "That's right. Even if he knows it, he can only accept this fact."
At this time, someone came in and whispered a few words quietly into Ji Chang's ear. Ji Chang nodded, indicating that he understood, and waved the person away.
Then he said: "The three members of their family have all been conferred the title of Shou Yan'er. Your parents' great revenge... has been avenged."
Ji Yuyan nodded silently. Among the three people who died, two were directly related to her by blood and had no relationship with Xiao Man. But her aunt was a relative after all, so Ji Yuyan couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad now.
, she raised her head and whispered: "Grandpa, I want to pay homage to my parents."
Ji Chang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look with you."
Ji Yuyan's parents were buried in a sunny place in Jijia Valley, under a thousand-meter-high lotus tree, and a tomb was quietly located there.
Ji Yuyan knelt in front of her parents' graves, crying silently
Ji Chang stood behind, also silent. On one hand, he felt sorry for his son, but on the other hand, he thought: If they had not died, I am afraid that the Ji family would have surpassed the Holy Emperor and become the true overlord of this polar region.
It's a pity that God doesn't fulfill people's wishes.
Qin Li stood there, silently bowed several times to the tomb, and said in his heart: Your revenge has been avenged, so you two should rest in peace. Yu Yan is living a good life now, you guys
No need to worry about it
On that day, Qin Li and Ji Yuyan did not leave directly. After Ji Chang persuaded them to stay, they stayed in Jijia Valley. That night, many senior members of the Ji family came from all over the place. When they saw Ji Yuyan, they were all sighing. Naturally.
Reminiscing about old times
What's interesting is that these people all regarded Qin Li as the husband Ji Yuyan was looking for. When they were drinking, they tried their best to persuade Qin Li to drink.
Because they could not see Qin Li's realm, they all thought that Qin Li was a young man with average strength. Although his attitude was not arrogant, his words were somewhat too casual.
Qin Li doesn't care about this. He accepts all comers. He doesn't need to force the wine out of the body at all. He only needs to use the innate purple energy to neutralize it a little. The wine drank will naturally be converted into energy and stored.
Therefore, no matter how much wine he had, Qin Li would not take it seriously at all.
In the end, Qin Li's boldness won the admiration of some people. A middle-aged man whom Ji Yuyan called Uncle Qi drunkenly patted Qin Li on the shoulder and said: "Little brother, if you are not strong enough...it's okay."
, that is not important, as long as you are determined, you can improve the Ji family... I like an uncle like you."
