Chapter 19 Old Mother-in-law
In the past few days, Zhang Zhentian's injury is fine, and he can get out of bed and move freely. In his spare time, he always wanders around the town. Soon, he became acquainted with the people in the town. After all, he is not a dull person, and the people in the town are happy to associate with this "hero" who led a large number of original people here.
"Grandma Su!" Zhang Zhentian wandered around the town. He saw the oldest woman in the town staggering out of the town with a bucket of water. He quickly caught up and took the water in the old man's hand, "Where are you going?"
"Oh, it's shocking." Grandma Su looked up at him and said, "Oh, I'm old. I'm going to the old sandalwood tree outside the town to water it.
"I'll help you with such things in the future." Zhang Zhentian held the bucket while holding Mother Su and said, "You don't have to do such a heavy work in the future."
"That won't work!" Grandma Su replied, "That old tree once saved my life. I must repay it well."
"Is it?" Zhang Zhentian asked curiously.
"Yes! When I was young, I was attacked by a lion spirit. I just escaped from it. With the help of Zhang Zhentian, Grandma Su has come to the bottom of the old sandalwood tree. Grandma Su looked at the old sandalwood tree and said affectionately, "That time, there were more than ten of us. In the end, I survived. If it hadn't been for it at that time, I'm afraid I would have been gone."
"Then we really should take good care of it." Zhang Zhentian smiled at the old sandalwood tree, and then returned the bucket in his hand to Mother Su. Since Grandma Su is coming but her own wish, it is naturally most appropriate for Mother Su to do the final watering work by herself.
"All right! Old buddy. How are you? I'll come to see you next week. Grandma Su watered the old sandalwood tree and sat under the tree for another hour. Finally, she stroked the old sandalwood tree and said affectionately.
"Let's go! Mother-in-law. I'll help you back." Zhang Zhentian said as he held up Grandma Su's arm and walked to the town.
"All right! I'm home." Coming to Grandma Su's door, the old woman said politely to Zhang Zhentian, "Come on! Earthquake. Come to my mother-in-law's house. My mother-in-law has something for you.
"Okay, mother-in-law." Zhang Zhentian promised to enter her room with Grandma Su.
"You sit down and I'll be back." As Grandma Su motioned Zhang Zhentian to sit down, she got up and went to the room. About ten minutes later, Mother Su came out of the inner room with a set of leather armor, "Come on, child. Can you change it and see if it fits?
"Thank you, mother-in-law." Zhang Zhentian thanked him while taking off his clothes and changing into the leather armor handed over by Mrs. Su. This armor is obviously made of good animal skin. Moreover, it should be a brand-new leather armor that has not been worn. And it is also very suitable for Zhang Zhentian's body.
"It's really good." Grandma Su muttered, "This is what my late old man left. He left before he could wear it. I didn't expect that after 50 years, it would be the same as when it was newly made. Well, from now on, it will be yours.
"Ah? How good is this?" Zhang Zhentian was a little embarrassed after listening to Grandma Su's words, "Since it is Grandpa Su's relics, you'd better collect it!" How can I..."
"No. After all these years, it's time to find a new owner. Grandma Su interrupted Zhang Zhentian's words with a smile, but her eyes immediately stopped on Zhang Zhentian's neck and said in a shocking tone, "Son, is there a blood sacrifice stone on your neck?"
"The Stone of Blood Sacrifice?" Zhang Zhentian was a little surprised when he heard Grandma Su's words. He obviously didn't know what Grandma Su was talking about. He looked down at his chest, and the jade pendant he picked up from the ruins of the city that night was now hanging outside the leather armor.
"Oh, are you talking about this? I accidentally picked it up when I was in the ruins. Zhang Zhentian replied with a smile, "I really don't know what it's called. I found it on a white bone.
"It seems that it is predestined to you." Mother Su took over the pendant sent by Zhang Zhentian. She narrowed her eyes and looked carefully, "Don't underestimate this stone. This is the stone of blood sacrifice." After saying that, she went to the inner room to get a silver needle and came back. "Come on, kid. Give me your left hand."
Zhang Zhentian obediently stretched out his left hand. Mother Su grabbed his hand and said something softly. Then, she pricked Zhang Zhentian's index finger with a silver needle, and a drop of red blood came out of Zhang Zhentian's index finger. After that, Grandma Su gently pressed Zhang Zhentian's hand on the pendant, and her mouth was still talking. At this time, the index finger of Zhang Zhentian's left hand became red and bright, and blood kept pouring into the pendant along his fingers. After about a quarter of an hour, the color of the pendant changed from the original milky white to blood red. Mother Su then stopped her spell, "Well, it seems that you are really predestined. Now, it is your protection.
"It..." Zhang Zhentian's body had shaken a little due to blood loss, and he sat down feebly. "Is it my bodyguard?"
"Yes! "Child." Grandma Su smiled and said, "It seems that you really don't know where it came from. Then I'll tell you. It is said that in ancient times, there was a war between the original and the spiritual people in this world. As a result of the war, the original man won, but he also paid a heavy price. In order to prevent those ancient spiritual clans from being arrested in the war and coming out to harm the world, the original mages at that time sealed those spirit clans with their own blood combined with the power of ancient artifacts. If you want to open the seal, you must collect all the twelve sacred stones used to seal them at that time. And these twelve divine stones are the stones of blood sacrifice that we are talking about now. They are all kept by the most powerful family of mages. Yours should be one of the twelve blood sacrifice stones.
"Well. So you mean that white bone..." Zhang Zhentian looked at Grandma Su in surprise.
"It should be! Now most of these stones can't be found. When Grandma Su said this, her face became solemn. She thought for a moment, and finally she put her hand to her neck. She took out an ornament similar to Zhang Zhentian's pendant from it, "In addition to yours, there are only seven blood sacrifice stones in the world now. Five more are gone.
"So, mother-in-law, you are a powerful mage?" Zhang Zhentian's face was suddenly full of respect for Grandma Su.
"Alas! I don't have the ability to launch this stone. Mother-in-law Su said with regret, "Although this stone is a treasure handed down from my mother-in-law's family, my mother-in-law does not have the ability to integrate with it. It doesn't absorb my blood.
"So that's what a strange thing." Zhang Zhentian looked at the pendant in his hand, "Grandma, what is it for?"
"Each of them corresponds to a unique natural force or special ability." Mother-in-law Su said slowly, "I haven't seen through what power it corresponds to. However, you can come to my place often when you have time, and I can teach you some spells. Speaking of this, she stuffed the pendant under her neck back. "I hope I can find a new owner of this stone before I die."
"My mother-in-law will definitely live a long life!" Zhang Zhentian listened to Grandma Su's words and felt that the old woman was a little sad. He comforted the old woman, "You are still in good health now."
"Ha ha, good boy, don't comfort me." Grandma Su replied with a smile, "Okay! It's getting late. Go back and have a rest. Remember, don't eat tonight. Go back and lie down ** and have a good rest. Don't mention the stone of blood sacrifice to anyone else.
Zhang Zhentian listened to Mrs. Su's words and nod his head. Immediately, he changed back his clothes, put Grandpa Su's armor in his hand, and left Grandma Su's house.
"Brother Zhang, where are you going?" Zhang Zhentian came out of Mrs. Su's room and met Su Wanyue and Jiang Dongfang head-on. Su Wanyue greeted him politely.
"Oh, it's Wanyue and Dongfang. I'm going back to my room to rest." Zhang Zhentian said slightly tiredly.
"Brother Zhang, I don't think your face is very good?" Jiang Dongfang looked at Zhang Zhentian's face and said in surprise.
"Oh, maybe my injury is not healed yet." Zhang Zhentian had to prevaricate his injury, "I should take a break and be fine."
"Maybe!" Jiang Dongfang said so, but he still couldn't rest assured, "Then you have a good rest. I think your face has just lost a lot of blood."
"Yes! Brother Zhang. I think I'll ask the kitchen to cook more for you, right? Su Wanyue also said uneasily.
"No, no." Zhang Zhentian replied with a smile, "Yes, are you two coming back from practicing?"
"Oh, yes." Jiang Dongfang answered with some embarrassment. Su Wanyue, who was beside him, also blushed, but her mouth was chattering, "Dongfang... He is making progress so fast. My father said that he was a good material for practicing King Kong's fighting spirit.
"Haha! That's good." Zhang Zhentian laughed happily, "Then go ahead! I still went back to rest. By the way, don't call me for dinner. I want to have a good rest." After saying that, he turned around and walked to his room.
Being him, Jiang Dongfang looked at his back and still shouted uneasily, "Brother Zhang! You should pay more attention to your health.
Zhang Zhentian returned to his room. He locked the door of the room firmly from the inside according to Grandma Su's instructions. Then, he pulled up the curtains early and then lay down to his **. Soon, he fell asleep.
What he didn't know was that as he fell asleep, the pendant on his chest emitted a strange brilliance. As the brilliance overflowed, his whole body became blood-red and transparent. Then, the luster of the pendant continued to flow into his body, and the blood in his body seemed to flow into the pendant again. Until midnight, all the visions suddenly disappeared. And the pendant on his chest disappeared, and instead, a strange symbol appeared on his chest.
