Chapter 203 The Secret of the Dragon Spirit Cult (1)
It is a "moon" shaped pattern, which looks like a tattoo or a birthmark.
Mu Lianzhi stood up from the chair and was shocked.
Because she suddenly remembered that the killers who died in the house before all wore strange masks, and there seemed to be a mark on the inside of their wrists. When they were in danger of death, the mother's first reaction was to deal with the mark.
Mu Lianzhi felt that this mark must be very important.
Instinctively, she turned her head to look at Father Mu, but Father Mu shook his head.
"This is the mark of the Dragon Spirit Cult. Men have it on the left and women have it on the right. Women have it on the red moon and men have it on the blue sun. Your father doesn't have it."
After applying some medicine powder and treating it quickly, Mrs. Mu's wrist soon returned to its original state.
She couldn't believe her eyes, let alone her ears. Mu Lianzhi's head was buzzing.
So, those people came to kill my mother?
What on earth is this Dragon Spirit Sect? Is it some kind of evil cult that opposes the imperial court?
But isn’t her mother an orphan of an official family?
"This is a long story. Sit down first and I'll tell you slowly."
Motioning to Mr. Mu to continue watching over his son at the bedside, Mrs. Mu pulled her to sit down at the small table and lowered her voice.
"Mom, I don't know if you have heard of the Dragon Spirit Sect. It was once the most famous cult for protecting the country in Fengyun Continent. It was said to have treasures, the ability to call the wind and rain, and immortality, etc."
"In fact, the predecessor of the Dragon Spirit Cult was a small tribe in the Dragon Spirit Village. At the beginning, our tribe was good at divination. Almost every family knew it and believed in the Dragon God. The tribe was very tolerant. Later, after several generations of development, many famous masters emerged. They could communicate with animals, predict changes in celestial phenomena, predict the future, change fate, etc. But at the same time, there were also some crooked people who were obsessed with fame and fortune and cheated people."
"So, gradually we caught the attention of the king, and more than 150 years ago we reached our peak, and the Dragon Spirit Sect was established."
"Not everyone in the Dragon Spirit Clan is gifted. In fact, only the clan leader and a few individuals in the related major families can truly reach a certain level. From generation to generation, they become the leaders and saints. The rest are ordinary people."
"In order to maintain the purity of blood and talents, the tribe did not allow intermarriage with outsiders in the past. Therefore, people of the Dragon Spirit Tribe would be imprinted with this mark when they were born, and it became a tradition over time."
"A hundred years ago, Fengyun Continent was destroyed, and various countries rose up and changed dynasties. The Dragon Spirit Sect also ceased to exist. Those who survived would inevitably cause trouble. They would definitely hide their marks and integrate into their respective countries. Naturally, many rules no longer exist."
"My mother's surname is Wanqi, not Lian. Your grandmother's family is actually just my mother's adoptive parents."
"Back then, my mother fainted from hunger in front of the Lian family's doorstep while fleeing for her life. They saved me. Later, their daughter unfortunately died. Your grandmother cried until she went blind and always treated me as her. Your grandfather simply let me replace her, and I was able to obtain the status and life of an official. We lived a good life for several years."
"Unfortunately, it didn't last long. Later, your grandfather worked too hard and got sick. He was also chased by bandits. The two elders died one after another. After mother saw them off, she sold her property and came to the capital to live with her relatives. They were not relatives to begin with, and they looked down on me. I didn't want to have to pay attention to their faces, so I rented a small house and lived alone."
"I have loved poisonous herbs since I was a child. Whenever I have time, I would go up the mountain to collect herbs to earn some money and support myself."
"That's how your father and I met."
"Haven't you been asking about the precious 'Youlian Pill'? In fact, the pill that saved the Queen Mother back then was not a semi-finished product, nor was it accidentally contaminated by something else and could not be used. It was because the 'Saint Crystal Snow Lotus' in the Youlian Pill was extremely cold and yin. Not only was the snow lotus hard to find, but most importantly, in order for it to work, it needed the blood of the 'Fire Snake', a cold-blooded animal with a very strong fire nature, as a medicine guide. This kind of snake is hard to find in the entire Chiyan Kingdom."
"And our Wanqi clan was once one of the five major families of Longling, gold, wood, water, fire and earth. My grandmother and mother were both the 'Holy Fire Envoy' and the chosen successor of one of the five holy envoys of Longling. By the time of your grandmother, there were already some intermarriages with people from other clans. Because our eyes are slightly different in color, we have been sought after by some people who were unwilling to see Longling destroyed. Even though we scattered early on, we still couldn't avoid the fate of being found and captured."
"So, there are also the marks of the Dragon Spirit Cult on my mother's body. I grew up raising fire snakes and drank a lot of snake blood. Due to natural disasters and years of fleeing, I eventually became an orphan. But because my eyes are normal color and I have the protection of the official identity of the Lian family, I have lived a peaceful life these years."
"For that Youlian Pill to work, it needs to be soaked in my mother's blood. The one the emperor gave us is not half as effective, but your father and I were too hasty when we made the medicine, leaving traces. Your father wanted to hide my identity, so we can only say that it was accidentally contaminated."
"Everyone knows that the 'Sacred Crystal Snow Lotus' is peculiar, rare and difficult to make. It must be used immediately and cannot be preserved at all. Everyone thinks that the medicine is not very effective, so it was given to your father."
"If it weren't for my blood, your father would have lost half of his hand and it would have been useless to get the Holy Crystal Snow Lotus. I am better at poisons, and your father is better at medicine. We are also destined to be together. Your father helped me get rid of the remaining poison in my body. We appreciate each other. In order to protect my identity, he was tired of the pressure and life of court struggles, so he decided to take this opportunity to stay away from the court with me and live an ordinary life."
"In fact, your father could open a clinic and practice medicine. We switched to business because we wanted our family to live a simple life."
"Oh, what a pity! We finally got pregnant with you, but to our surprise, your mother was determined not to leave you with the mark of the Dragon Spirit bloodline. The light-colored pupils that haven't appeared in our family for generations actually appeared on you. Oh, man proposes, God disposes."
"Mom and Dad would like you to stay at home and keep a low profile."
"You look quiet and gentle, but once you become stubborn, even ten horses can't pull you back. You didn't like studying medicine, and you pretended to be sick when you started. Your parents had no choice but to let you learn the music, chess, calligraphy and painting that you love. I originally thought that you would become a lady from a wealthy family and marry into a good family. But I didn't expect that the person you fell in love with at first sight turned out to be from the Pingyong Marquis Mansion..."
"You will know everything later."
"Originally, your father and I thought that you would be happy if you entered the Marquis' Mansion. It would be good to have someone to protect you. If you are happy, we will accept it."
"We thought that if we left you, we might be able to protect you and also find a career to support you, killing two birds with one stone."
"We were chased on the road, and we thought my whereabouts had been exposed, so we hid for a while while recovering from our injuries. Later, we found out that those people were not all remnants of the Dragon Spirit Cult."
"We have actually been preparing every day for these years. We were afraid to have a child at first, but later when we settled down, we realized that my body was not suitable for pregnancy. We finally had you, and we are really content in this life."
