destiny [ancient]

15 Bloodline

Walking through Panshui Shanghe, the two brothers came to a towering pass.

The huge city wall is built between the two mountains. The gable wall is as strong as iron stone. It was made by Emperor Dayu with the breath of soil. It was used to remove the seal, and it was also an important military place to prevent monsters from attacking the southern wasteland.

But now, there is no one on the tall city wall.

In the thick clouds and mist that submerged the entire checkpoint, there was no sound at all, not even a single cicada or bird could be heard in this midsummer.

Ji Zhen's hand holding the sword tightened, and Ji Hui also frowned slightly. Both of them are strong in the sky, and they are extremely sensitive to aura, but within this mile, they have not felt the slightest aura.

"On weekdays, there are 600 guards from top to bottom." Ji Zhen said in a low voice.

As the most important checkpoint in the Southern Wilderness, it has always guarded the most elite troops in the Southern Wilderness. They came to this bitter cold and desolate place to protect the human race from their hometown, but now they are broken here.

"It doesn't have to be something wrong. Maybe the commander sees something bad and leads the troops to retreat first." Ji Hui said lightly.

"Ninth brother already knows how to comfort people." Ji Zhen forced a smile, but this is the most important place to protect the southern wilderness. The troops were elite, not inferior to Nie Ah, how could the commander retreat so easily.

"It's not about consolation," Ji Hui stared at the empty city in the distance, and then turned his head to look at him again, "If the bereaved family of King Xia can break through Qianguan so easily, then the No. [-] pass in the Southern Desolation is too inaccurate."

"You mean...fifth brother?" Ji Zhen couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"If I remember correctly, this place is guarded by the Ji Su mother clan, and the general who guards the gate is not only our cousin, but also his uncle." At that time, the Ji Su mother clan was also the largest branch of the Southern Wilderness, which is why he could be with Ji Zhen. The biggest backer in the fight for the throne.

"That's right," Ji Zhen couldn't help but smile wryly when he thought about it, "Father felt that he didn't have much time, so he wanted to pass it on to me, but he was worried that the fifth younger brother would be unhappy with the ninth younger brother, so he secretly summoned the generals. During the autumn festival, sacrifice to heaven and abdicate."

"There was a change in the demon race in the south the day before yesterday, but the generals still came to the autumn festival. I guessed at that time that Ji Su has been watching you for a long time. If this is the case, he must be aware of it." Ji Hui also figured it out. That's right, the fifth prince, Ji Su, saw that his father was about to die, and summoned the generals to come, knowing that the throne must be passed on to the eldest son, and in desperation, he joined hands with the bereaved family of the Xia Kingdom to create this incident, which forced Ji Zhen to come forward. Come.

"This is really a deadlock..." Ji Zhen had to shake his head, "Actually, I don't necessarily want to be king, but if my fifth brother becomes king, it will be very difficult for my third brother to survive."

"You were never king, and Ji Lan tried to kill Ji Su and me several times. If you were king, how could you guarantee that he would not come and kill you?" Ji Hui spoke contemptuously, "How can you be better than him?"

"Of course I know that the third brother has gone too far...but I have broken his legs more than once, but he still does his own thing." When Ji Zhen said this, his voice lowered slightly, and he murmured, "I can't, really kill him."

"Why not." Ji Hui said coldly, "Back then, a tiger could sacrifice even your mother, but a younger brother. How can you not do it in order to stabilize the royal power?"

"Ah Hui!" Ji Zhen couldn't hold back and raised his voice, and a look of mourning flashed between his brows.

Ji Hui stopped talking immediately, and she didn't understand why she uttered evil words. Ji Zhen was also a victim of what happened back then, so why did she...

With vigilance in her heart, Ji Hui flipped her wrist, and the astrolabe floated, and countless stars spun in her palm, but there were faint nebulae in it, as if they were covered by something.

"Someone cast an obsessive spell on the entire formation. It was my fault that I didn't investigate for a while, and my words were unscrupulous." Ji Hui was rarely wronged, and sincerely apologized.

"Forget it, what you said is also true. If you really become a king, many things will be difficult to follow your own will." Ji Zhen asked again with a little worry, "Ninth brother, I have the spirit to practice according to the scriptures, and I am not afraid of ordinary mantras." surgery, you..."

"I'm not weak when it comes to spells, but I'm vigilant and know how to guard against them better than you," Ji Hui said.

"Ninth brother, when it comes to being king, in fact, my father doesn't want to drive you away, but he is worried about the bereaved family of the Xia Kingdom. After you agree, he will be very sad..."

"You, shut up!" Ji Hui said lightly.

"Ninth brother, the elders and younger are orderly..."

"I want to enter the customs, are you sure we will go together?" Ji Hui interrupted him bluntly.

"Of course, it's my responsibility. It's not right for my ninth brother to be in danger. How can I let you go there alone?" Ji Zhen said as a matter of course.

"Then let's go." Ji Hui left straight away.

-

In Qianguan, there is a large formation seal, a series of eight halls, the Qiandian is the most important, all the temples are made in the shape of eight trigrams, surrounded by dragon crystal heavy stone walls, each wall has a door in the middle, and a high platform is built under the high hall , these eight halls are all large in scale, almost occupying the entire open space of the pass.

In the main hall, the Tai Chi hovered on the ground, and a boy in linen was sitting upright in it, with blood flowing from the tip of his right index finger, pouring into the yin and yang fish.

It may be that he lost a lot of blood, and the young man's exquisite face was a little pale. He was five points similar to Ji Hui, and it was Ji Hui's younger brother Ji Huan who came to look for him.

Among Tiger's remaining sons, the eldest son, Ji Zhen, and the third son, Ji Lan, were born of the same mother. The fifth son, Ji Su, had no siblings. The ninth son, Ji Hui, and the eleventh son, Ji Huan, were also born of the same mother.These are also the three factions of the Nanhuang princes today, but Ji Hui's faction does not fight with others, so the battle for the throne of the Southern Wilderness has always been a battle between the eldest son and the fifth son.

An extremely beautiful woman showed worry on her face, and finally sighed: "Come down first."

"However, you said that without the blood of the royal family, this battle cannot be opened..." Ji Huan bit his lips slightly, "Now, you shouldn't be able to back down, right?"

"There is already a lot of blood in the formation, enough." The woman has plain hair and is dressed in white, but between her brows and eyes, it is as ethereal as the first snow of pear blossoms. She looked up to the south and sighed in a low voice, "Your brother coming."

"Mother, you're not dead, why didn't you tell elder brother?" Ji Huan bit his lip and said sadly, "Elder brother has had a hard time these years, and elder brother can also be a king. He is so smart and has high mana. can help you more."

"He is not someone who would kill father Shi's brother for the throne." The woman shook her head slightly.

The boy's face became paler, and after a while, he whispered: "In your heart, I am this kind of person, right?"

"No, you are just willing to listen to me, but Ah Hui, he won't listen." The woman sighed.

"Mother, what if the demon clan attacks?" After a while, the young man was really disturbed and couldn't help asking again.

"Now that the seal has been opened and the counterattack of the formation has been activated, no matter whether it is a human or a monster, if you enter this formation lightly, you will definitely die."

"What about brother? He came in too?"

"Trust your brother. He can handle it." The woman said softly.
