Sheng Hongyi felt that she had never suffered such a big loss in her entire life.
In the past, she was the only one who let others suffer. When will it be her turn to suffer?
So when she got home, her face was gloomy and expressionless.
The whole family was sitting around having breakfast. Seeing her like this, the three of them and the bear all looked at each other, giving each other a subtle look of knowing that God knows and earth knows, you know and I know.
Especially Huihui. In fact, when Sheng Hongyi didn't come back last night, it had the unique sensitivity of a beast. It always felt that the white jade carrot that Sheng Hongyi owed him might not be so easy to get back.
Today I saw this man standing there with a sinister look on his face. He made a "dong" sound, swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly covered his mouth, lest Sheng Hongyi heard him and used the topic to attack him, and then he would be finished.
Several people looked at me, and I looked at you. Finally, the leader of the group, Sheng Yunfan, came forward. He cleared his throat and put down his chopsticks:
"Ahem, Hong Yi? Are you back so early? Your Aunt Fen brought salted duck eggs over yesterday. They taste good. Do you want some?"
Bai Wanzhen also immediately said:
"Eat some, and Mom will mix some lettuce for you. Isn't this your favorite side dish?"
Although it was a question, the person had already stood up and went to the kitchen.
Concubine Sheng Yu didn't say anything, so she poured a glass of pomegranate juice and placed it in front of Sheng Hongyi.
Sheng Hongyi sat down next to Concubine Sheng Yu with a stiff face. She drank a glass of pomegranate juice in one gulp, and the expression on her face softened slightly.
She raised her head and glanced at the big pomegranate tree that was laden with fruits, and thought about it again:
"Sister, I see that the pomegranates in our house are getting better every year. This year's aura is enough. How about making wine?"
The pomegranate tree in her house is not an ordinary pomegranate tree. Sheng Yunfan dug it from a secret place. It can be regarded as a third-grade fruit tree.
There is no spiritual vein to support it in the Sheng family. In the early years, Sheng Yunfan spent a lot of money to set up a simple spirit gathering array under the roots of the pomegranate tree. Every now and then, he had to change the spirit stones in the spirit gathering array. .
Later, something happened to Sheng Yunfan, and the family had no money left for the pomegranate tree, so the spirit gathering array fell into disuse. From that time on, the pomegranate tree only bore ordinary fruits and had no spiritual energy.
In the past few years, Sheng Hongyi has begun to support her family, and she has begun to put spirit stones into the spirit gathering array. No, after a few years, the pomegranate tree has finally recovered.
After hearing this, Sheng Yunfan smiled and supported:
"That's a good idea."
He is also a good drinker, although this fruit wine is a little less interesting.
Concubine Sheng Yu responded to everything:
"Okay, then after dinner, my mother and I will go get it."
Sheng Yunfan saw that his daughter's face seemed to have softened, so he took the opportunity to ask:
"Hong Yi? Did something happen? Is it possible that the talisman was not sold?"
In fact, when Mrs. Wu Jiafen came yesterday, she said that she seemed to have heard her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wu, come back and say that Hong Yi was fighting with the Wang family's children outside.
Sheng Yunfan didn't believe it. Hong Yi was most afraid of trouble. How could he want to be in the limelight?
Sheng Hongyi shook her head:
"The talisman was sold and I had a talisman fight with the owner behind Ninglu Pavilion, but I won and nothing happened."
Sheng Yunfan looked at Sheng Hongyi. Although he didn't know why she wanted to fight with others, he heard that it was all good news. Why was Hongyi unhappy?
"Is there anything else?"
Sheng Yunfan took a bite of food and asked a question.
Sheng Hongyi answered the question incorrectly:
"Dad, do you still remember what happened when you were injured? Why were you injured by the firebird?"
Sheng Yunfan went out that time to prepare for the natal magic weapon after forming the elixir.
He has the dual spiritual roots of wood and fire.
Although he was practicing arithmetic, Sheng Yunfan was practicing swordsmanship.
Sheng Yunfan seemed to have found someone to help him refine the natal sword, but he was missing a fire sun stone, so he went to the secret realm.
"Although Fire Sun Stone and Fire Bird both belong to the fire attribute, they are incompatible. Why do they appear in the same place?"
This was something Sheng Hongyi discovered when she was studying talismans recently.
For Sheng Hongyi, drawing talismans is a matter of getting twice the result with half the effort.
However, although she is close to spiritual energy, she still needs to understand which materials are mutually reinforcing and incompatible.
Otherwise, no matter how close you are to spiritual energy, wouldn’t it be ridiculous to draw talismans with things that are incompatible or even incompatible with each other?
Therefore, she bought a book on the black market in the past year that specifically talked about various birds, animals and minerals in the wasteland continent.
By coincidence, when she was falling asleep the night before yesterday, she came across the chapter about fire-attributed spiritual objects.
The book says that the natal fire carried by the fire bird is the Nine Nether Fire. It is said that the fire bird was originally a ferocious beast spawned in the Nine Nether Hells of the underworld. Later, it received enlightenment from gods and Buddhas, escaped from the underworld, and came to the human world. boundary.
However, its original habits have not changed.
It is afraid of the sun, stays up all day and comes out at night, and extremely hates the strong Yang energy.
Likes to stay in dark places.
Nine Nether Fire also has such characteristics.
If anyone is vicious and dark and is burned by the Nine Nether Fire, his or her own soul will be hurt first.
But the Fire Sun Stone contains a hint of the true fire of the sun that is strong, hot, and destroys all darkness and filth.
The True Fire of the Sun and the Nine Nether Fire are like the pros and cons.
How do firebirds coexist with it?
Thinking of this, Sheng Hongyi took out the book, found the relevant entries, and pointed them out to Sheng Yunfan.
When Bai Wanzhen came back from the kitchen, she saw that the faces of the father and daughter were more serious than the other.
Especially Sheng Yunfan, his face was a little startled, a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking of!
Bai Wanzhen was shocked and didn't dare to speak. She placed the side dish in front of Hongyi. She quietly sat next to Sheng Yunfan, frowning and listening with worry in her eyes.
Sheng Hongyi continued to ask the second key question.
"Fire Bird's Nine Nether Fire hurts the soul, but Dad, your soul has no effect at all, right?"
Sheng Yunfan was injured in his spiritual roots, but the strength of his soul was still the same, otherwise he would have been unable to maintain most of his lifespan.
Although there was no evidence, Sheng Hongyi was completely convinced that Sheng Yunfan's incident should be man-made.
She frowned and looked at Sheng Yunfan:
"Dad, think about it carefully, have you ever encountered a demon cultivator in that secret realm?"
According to the words of the Qi Refining Demonic Cultivator, only the Zhou family in the Demonic Cultivator can do this.
If her father's spiritual root was really taken away, then Zhou's family would have to be present as well!
Apart from Sheng Yunfan's initial gaffe, he had calmed down and his expression returned to normal.
He was originally an open-minded person, especially in recent years, the physical and mental hardships he had endured had made his mind even more open-minded and peaceful.
He recalled in silence for a while, then said:
"So, there is indeed something fishy about this matter. I did see two suspicious men in black robes in that secret realm, and it was because they robbed my things for no reason. In order to chase them, I went to a place alone. Places I haven’t been to yet.”
"After that, I was stabbed in the back and I activated the talisman to save my life."
"Then I lost consciousness. When I woke up again, it was your clan uncle who was guarding me. He said that he found me with great difficulty and saw the fire bird. He apologized to me and said that he blamed his low cultivation level for clearly seeing the fire bird. Attack me, but he can’t save me!”
