Sick King and Concubine

Chapter 214: Feeding Demons With Your Body (2)
His voice was gentle, and he slowly revealed the deepest secret hidden in the hearts of the high priests of all ages. Perhaps, from now on, this will no longer be a secret.

"From then on, the bloodline of the royal family began to lose its purity. The so-called emperor's blood of Emperor Dongcheng gradually became weaker and weaker from generation to generation. Thus, the crisis began."

"The first person who discovered this crisis was the most powerful high priest in the history of Dongzhi, Guangyuan. If there were no later events, he would be enshrined on the altar by the people and the royal family of Dongzhi, and he would be immortal. However, he After all, choosing such a path is the destiny of our priests, and we only exist for Dongzhi, and everything else can be abandoned."

Chu Yudao: "Didn't it mean that Guangyuan broke a taboo and caused a natural disaster because he fell in love with the princess of the royal family?"

Gu Chengdao: "That's a legendary secret. Even the royal family always thinks that, the royal princess is a disgrace. So they have always been taboo. But they don't know that the secret they are guarding is not the real secret. .If there is no Guangyuan, then more than the hundred thousand people will die, maybe the people of the entire East Branch.”

Gucheng was silent for a while, then suddenly took out a dagger from his arms, and then swiped it along the palm of his hand, blood flowed out, then condensed into water droplets, rolling down the river and sea drop by drop.

Jiang Li slightly opened his eyes, and saw the few drops of blood sinking into the waves, and there was no more sound.

But just when Jiang Li thought it was all right, the sudden change suddenly popped up!

Under the crimson moon, the billowing waves suddenly stagnated, but in the next second, there was a turbulent black billowing out of the river water. The ten miles of river waves seen at this glance were completely invaded by the darkness of the giant dragon in an instant. I just felt that my eyes were stabbed severely.

What exactly is this!
She couldn't help but think of the scene of Jiang Hai seen in the rain that day. It was just like this. She thought it was dizziness at the time, but now it seems that it really exists.Could it be that the lonely city was there that day?
A thought flashed through Jiang Li's mind, but he couldn't catch it quickly.

After those dark tumbling, finally slowly quiet, and then disappear.

Gu Cheng said: "This is the secret."

"East Branch is no better than the Central Plains. In order to gain powerful power, Emperor Dongcheng used ancient forbidden techniques. He brutally killed nearly a million people, and the East Branch became a pool of blood. He poured the bones of these people into the river. And seal them, and use their grievances to gain the power of ever-victorious. However, although he succeeded, the grievances at the bottom of the water are still there, ready to counterattack anytime and anywhere. Therefore, he heard about the ancient survivors and asked them to One person came to be the priest of the Eastern branch to suppress this kind of power, so that one generation of emperors and one generation of priests was officially established. Therefore, the ancient alien race became the priest, and each generation must choose someone from this clan to inherit the priesthood."

"However, among the ancient alien races, they were not always willing to involve their own bloodlines in human affairs. Therefore, they sometimes chose sideline bloodlines, and those sideline bloodlines were too weak to notice the hidden threat at all until the arrival of Guangyuan. "

"Guangyuan discovered the decline of the royal lineage, and with this decline, the grievances at the bottom of the water began to gather. The royal family could no longer drive such power, so they could only stay there, but they didn't know that the entire eastern branch was about to face the biggest disaster. .”

"Under such circumstances, Guangyuan came up with a way, that is, to blend his own blood with the blood of the royal family, so he had something to do with the princess of the royal family. He successfully let himself accept the blood of the royal family, and will Most of the threat to the entire royal family is transferred to myself."

After hearing this, Jiang Li felt a faint and inexplicable feeling in his heart. The love between the high priest and the royal princess seemed to be full of taboo beauty after breaking away from the mundane world.But I don't know if the princess of the royal family who put out the fire for love got Guang Yuan's slight love?But a hundred years have passed, and these are all submerged in the dust, and no one knows.

"Heavy rain poured down, and the rivers flowed backwards. Wherever the rivers flowed, those souls who had been sealed for hundreds of years began to run wildly. They devoured the lives of the people in Dongzhi. Guangyuan sacrificed his own life and temporarily suppressed These wraiths."

"Later, the princess of the royal family gave birth to a child and gave it to his clansmen, and she disappeared without a trace. Guangyuan has endured a hundred years of infamy, but no one knows that he is the one who should be enshrined on the altar the most. people."

Chu Yu shook Jiang Li's hand, and then asked, "Are you the descendant of Guangyuan and that princess?"

"Yes. And my mother is the last priest of Dongzhi and the only priestess in the history of Dongzhi. Her name is Youyu."

As soon as his words fell, Jiang Li suddenly opened his eyes wide and took a quick look at Chu Yu, but his expression was calm, as if he had nothing.

Youyu Youyu, if she remembers correctly, she has heard this name before, Chu Yu's mother, the daughter of the Rong family, Rong Youyu.

So...they are brothers? !
But why!
Jiang Li asked, "May I take the liberty to ask, I don't know how old you are now, High Priest?"

Gu Cheng glanced at her and said, "If my birthday is used, it would be August [-]th today."

Chu Yu's birthday was in July, yet he was the same age as Chu Yu!So that means that within a month of Chu Yu's birth, Chu Yu's mother gave birth to Gucheng, but how is it possible?Even with the news from the capital, Chu Yu's mother didn't really die when she gave birth to him, but in a short period of time after being born to one mother, why was Chu Yu dying of illness, but Gucheng didn't have any symptoms of inadequacy at all? !It just doesn't make sense.Rong's daughter-in-law, how could she be the priest of Dongzhi?

A thought of Jiang Li suddenly flashed out, yes, it seems impossible at first glance, but there is another thought, although it is too surprising, but it is the most reasonable guess under the current situation.

That is, in order to protect one child, Rong Youyu completely abandoned the other child!

And Chu Yu was the abandoned child!

Jiang Li's thoughts flashed now, but she didn't know that she had guessed to the edge. Back then, she knew that she was pregnant with twins when she was poisoned. In order to protect a child, she completely transferred all the poison to Chu Yu's body. She deliberately gave birth prematurely in order to give birth to Chu Yu, but she brought another child who did not have enough time to Dongzhi, and after giving birth to Gucheng, she died forever.

But she didn't know, because her actions destroyed Chu Yu and Gucheng at the same time in her previous life.

One withered silently because of her body, and died for love; the other had her soul destroyed because of her choice, and was cast aside by thousands of people.
