After Dawn Chapter 108: Save my sister (3)
From the mouth of the white-haired old woman, Hua Liuli learned little by little the hidden facts of the great war a thousand years ago.
As the first family at that time, the painters were obliged to take on the important task of leading the crowd to repel the demons, and the painters did not live up to everyone's expectations. An enchantment was set up in between, which ensured the tranquility of the Xuanwu Continent and gave the Xuanwu Continent time to recuperate... But the truth is far from being so simple.
The strength of the painter is based on the unique physique of the painters and the strong secret inheritance of the painter. However, unlike the inheritance of the other eight great families, it can be cultivated since childhood and can be recorded in words. The inheritance of the painter But it needs word of mouth, so far no way to record it has been found, and those who require to practice the artist's secret method must be at least sixteen years old, and they are too young to bear the pain of practicing the artist's secret method. In order to carry the powerful power brought by the painter's secret method, because the painter's secret method has the effect of washing the marrow and changing the bone, although it is much later than other aristocratic families, it is not difficult to catch up.
At that time, the painter planned to send some masters into the demon world to snipe the demons, and take the opportunity to build a barrier between the two continents, but the eight great families moved other thoughts, claiming that all the painters who entered the demons were killed, forcing the The other masters of the painters all followed in, and they attacked the painters outside while the painters were building the barrier, killing the few painters who were left behind to master the inheritance of the painter's secret technique.
With the enchantment, the painters could no longer leave the demon world, and they also discovered that most of the people in the family who mastered the inheritance of the secret arts came to this place. How did the people come in later? It's not difficult to say. Discover the conspiracy of the other eight great families.
“The unique physique of the painter can be inspired only by the inheritance of the artist’s secret technique. This is why other families are jealous of the artist’s secret technique, but they have never thought of capturing it, because the artist’s physique and The artist's secret technique is interdependent..."
"Now that the painter's secret technique has disappeared, the unique physique of the painter will gradually be hidden. At that time, even if you marry the painter's daughter, it will be difficult for the offspring to have the gift of giving birth to offspring when they are married now... "
"If the painter can't find the inheritance in time, I'm afraid it won't take many years, he will completely fall out of one of the nine great families and disappear into the torrent of history..."
The white-haired old woman sighed.
"What do you want to do?" Hua Liuli looked at her calmly and asked.
"You are now half-human and half-demon body..." The white-haired old woman was not afraid to poke her sore spot, and a look of embarrassment flashed on Hua Liuli's face, "The artist's secret technique is of no use to you, However, I have been in the demon world for many years, but I can provide you with a way to cultivate demons, so that you can quickly become stronger..."
"If I'm not mistaken, your sister is just sixteen years old, and it's a good time to practice the artist's secret art..."
"Liu Li, Li'er!" The person on the bed interrupted her, and she sat up abruptly. She looked at the surrounding environment and found that she was not in the previous dilapidated hall, panicking. He turned his head, as if he was looking for something.
She saw Hua Liuli not far from the bed at a glance, with surprise flashing in her eyes, crying and laughing as she grabbed her sleeve and said, "I knew I found Li'er, I'm not dreaming..."
"You have recognized the wrong person, I'm not your Li'er." Hua Liuli said coldly, a trace of impatience flashed between her eyebrows, "Since you are awake, then I will go first."
"No no no, you are my Li'er." Qing Ran grabbed her sleeve tightly, then reached out to caress her cheek, but she turned her head away to avoid it. Annoyed, he just smiled lightly and said: "You are my Li'er, you see your eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as mine, we were together before we were born, your breath, your soul, your every move, I am very familiar with..."
"When my family Li'er is nervous, her little fingers will tremble slightly, you see... your fingers are shaking..."
"Li'er, what are you nervous about? I'm your elder sister, and I was born and raised with you."
"Humph!" Hua Liuli snorted coldly, waved her away, took a few steps back, Qing Ran was swept onto the bed by her, the wound on her body was not yet healed, and the sudden impact made her gasp. She breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time she ignored the pain on her body, just looked at the skirt that Hua Liuli lifted up, "Did you see it?"
Under the skirt, what supports Hua Liuli's body are not two legs, but countless thick and soft vines, which are obediently lying on the ground, holding up Hua Liuli's body, and looking up, You can see the smooth skin of painted glass, and the delicate and small navel.
"What is in front of you is not your good sister Hua Liuli, but a half-human half-demon monster. Do you still want to say she is your sister?"
"Yes, she is!" After being stunned at first, Qing Ran's eyes showed distress, and then turned into firmness. She stepped on the ground with her bare feet, and quickly ran over to hug her: " You are my sister, no matter what you become, you are my sister."
"You are Li'er, the one who was bullied and would rather cry alone than tell me..."
"You are Li'er, the one who will quietly make flower handkerchiefs for you and make a mess of embroidery..."
"You are Li'er, the one who grew up with me and cried and laughed with me..."
"You are Li'er, you are my sister, we are closer than anyone else, no matter what you become, you can't change your status as my sister."
A hint of hesitation flashed in Hua Liuli's eyes, her eyes flickered, and she asked, "Then why didn't I see you when I was sent as a sacrifice."
Although she already knew that if she had to choose between herself and Hua Qingran, she would be sacrificed, and she had no intention of letting Hua Qingran sacrifice instead of herself. As Hua Qingran said, both People are closer than anyone else. She is Hua Qingran's sister, but Hua Qingran is also her sister. How could she just watch her sister die.
Since others have already made a choice for them, she can only wish her sister, and hope that she can live well in the days without her.
But what she didn't expect was that on the day she was sent away, she would not be able to see Hua Qingran's figure. She couldn't help but maliciously wonder if Hua Qingran was afraid of seeing her, so she Could it be exchanged as a sacrifice?
"It's my fault, it's my fault... I'm sorry..." When mentioning this, Qing Ran hugged her and burst into tears, "I didn't expect my parents to do this... I overheard that they wanted to I will send you as a sacrifice, but I don't want to send you, so I ask my parents to let me make a sacrifice..."
"I didn't know they said it orally, but when they turned around, they dazed me and sent me to the dark prison..."
"When I escaped, it was too late, too late... They all said that you were already dead, and the enchantment of Xuanwu Continent was sealed. I didn't believe it... I knew you were still alive..."
No wonder, no wonder. Hua Liuli's heart trembled.
A few days before she was informed that she was about to become a sacrifice, she felt very flustered, and since that day, she never saw her sister Hua Qingran again. When I asked Hua Qingran's maid, what she got was Hua Liuli, who went to retreat and practice. She knew that although her sister was long-sleeved and good at dancing, and behaved well, the most impatient thing was retreat and practice. The effect is also minimal, so she would rather deal with the major families and seek a better life for the two people in the future, so she has always been dubious about the maid's words.
She later thought that the panic was a hunch that she was about to be sacrificed. Now that she thinks about it, it should be that something happened to Hua Qingran that day. The connection between them as twins made her feel the love of Hua Qingran. disturbed.
"You sisters, you really have deep feelings for each other." The white-haired old woman opened her mouth with a smile, her eyes were full of relief, and she was naturally happy to see such mutual love for future generations.
Qing Ran was startled. She had previously seen painted glass in her eyes, but she didn't realize that there was an old white-haired woman sitting next to her.
"Qing Ran has seen her mother-in-law."
"My elder sister is more polite. As soon as she sees me, she knows to call her mother-in-law," the white-haired old woman laughed.
"Painting?" Qing Ran asked suspiciously.
"She is the painter who stayed in the devil world thousands of years ago," Hua Liuli explained, "she is the ancestor of our painters."
"Then mother-in-law, aren't you over a thousand years old?" Hua Qingran asked in surprise.
"Almost, I don't really remember the days. When I came in, I was over three hundred years old." The white-haired old woman who claimed to be the painting mother-in-law shook her head and said, "This demon world is not very clear between day and night. It's gloomy all day long, and I can't estimate the days. If you say that more than a thousand years have passed in the outside world, then I must be more than 1,300 years old."
Hua Liuli also thought of this. He and Qingran looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. You must know that in the Xuanwu Continent, the average life expectancy is only 200 years old. Even a successful person can only increase his lifespan by 800 to 1,000 years at most, and since the war a thousand years ago, there has been almost no life expectancy. Humans can have the cultivation base to reach this lifespan.
"Don't be weird," said Granny Hua, "This Demon World is different from the Xuanwu Continent."
“It was only after we entered the Demon Realm that we found out that those who attacked the Xuanwu Continent were not masters of the Demon Realm at all, but just some remote places that happened to be connected to the Xuanwu Continent, where the Demon Race’s strength can be regarded as the most powerful in the entire Demon Realm. Low. But it is these demons who are considered to be the downstream strength in the demons, but they have spent 10% of the top experts in our Xuanwu continent to keep the peace of their land. If the entire demons are dispatched, The Xuanwu Continent will certainly be hard to survive.”
"Later we discovered that the Demon Realm is much more advanced than the Xuanwu Continent, and the inheritance possessed by the Demon Realm can be traced back to a much longer period of time. We even found traces of the painter's ancestors in the Demon Realm... …”
"So we started to wonder if the Demon Realm is actually the same place as the Upper Realm where my Xuanwu Continent masters have reached a certain level."
"The more in-depth approach and understanding of the Demon Realm, the more I feel the gap between the Demon Realm and the Xuanwu Continent. Until later, some of us reached the level of soaring in the Xuanwu Continent, but did not attract the sky in the Demon Realm. Jie, but naturally completed the conversion of the profound energy in the body to the spiritual energy... We can truly be sure that this place is the same level of continent as the place where we ascended after breaking through."
"What about the other painters?" Qing Ran asked. It stands to reason that more than just the painter's mother-in-law came in. Moreover, "Since there are a lot of people coming in, why didn't the painter thrive in the Demon Race?"
Qing Ran asked obscurely, but Granny Hua understood what she meant, smiled and glanced at her, then said, "You guys, it's too simple to see this demon world..."
