Chapter 125
Shikigami is a set of magic that the An family has figured out to save their family. Whether it is their original creation or not is still unknown, but only a few people in the An family can use it. What kind of magic this is is still unknown to the outside world.
It is common for Taoist families to gradually decline in the long course of history, and many of them even come to an end.
The most widely circulated theory about the origin of Taoists is that it was during the ancient war. The peak of Taoists was also during the ancient war. Since then, Taoists began to decline.
The sudden drop in the number of Taoists and the significant decline in overall capabilities are the most troublesome issues for the Taoist Alliance nowadays.
The life span of humans is only a few decades, and that of Taoists is even shorter, so the Taoist Alliance has repeatedly lowered the marriageable age.
However, Taoists who are truly capable and have ideals often choose to get married and have children later. Some even give up starting a family for the sake of their Taoist careers. Some do so for various reasons. There are many such Taoists in Lezheng today.
The Taoist Alliance even thought about using force to protect the Taoist priest. Maybe one day it will come to this. After all, the lifespan of demons is much longer than that of humans.
Some families accept their fate, but naturally some families do not. They begin to look for other ways to protect their family. There are also many families that take unconventional approaches. Therefore, Taoists become more and more valuable, and people pay more and more attention to the qualifications of Taoists. Therefore, people will become more prejudiced against those with low qualifications in Taoist families, and the saying of "lazy people" will become more and more serious.
The An family was one of those families that refused to accept their fate, and the method they found was "Shikigami", and they quickly stood up again.
Therefore, the Taoist Alliance also began to explore the way of Shikigami, but since it was created by the An family after all, the An family would not voluntarily hand it over, and the Taoist Alliance did not dare to use tough measures due to face.
Moreover, the An family also had foresight. The inheritance of the Shikigami was very strict, so much so that the Taoist Alliance has not been able to obtain any useful information so far.
However, there are many hypocrites among the Taoists, and the An family also knows that this is hard to guard against. In order to protect the An family, the inheritance of the Shikigami gradually became the inheritance of the head of the family.
An Ruosu's father had no sons, and she was his only daughter, so she would definitely be targeted. Her parents thought of many ways, and finally had to adopt a nephew as their adopted son, who is the current head of the An family, An Ruoyu.
An Ruoyu was also a man of foresight. He asked An Ruosu to study with him since she was young, so An Ruosu also knew the method of Shikigami. He also made a prompt decision to choose Le Zheng for her marriage. Le Zheng's specialness was also a great protection for her.
Therefore, An Ruosu's fame did not come from being the only daughter of the head of the An family, but from being the daughter-in-law of Le Zheng.
At this point, An Ruosu could no longer make any plans, so her eyes fell on An Ruoyu. However, they could not have expected that An Ruoyu was still unmarried, and there was no news about the next head of the family.
There are also rumors that An Ruoyu wanted to stop passing on the method of Shikigami, but he couldn't interfere too much in the An family's internal affairs. Some people were so anxious that they began to plot against An Ruoyu.
An Ruosu knew very well what her brother was thinking. Reputation was not important to him. The safety of the An family was what he cared about most.
He did think about cutting off the inheritance of the Shikigami, after all, it was the culprit of everything, but it was created by his ancestors after all, so he let An Ruosu learn this method and gave her the Shikigami passed down from generation to generation.
The shikigami passed down from generation to generation in the An family are the black and white shikigami. The black one is called Xuan and the white one is called Su. They are now in the house of Le Zhengqiming.
"That's right, we are Miss An's shikigami, and I am Su."
"It too?"
Le Zheng Qiming was very close to Le Zhengli and was worried that he would be attacked again.
"Yes, he is my brother, Xuan. I'm sorry, I don't know why he was frightened today and acted rudely by attacking the young lady's guest. Please forgive me, I will definitely teach him a lesson later."
Xuan jumped out from under the bed and deliberately brushed Su's hair, as if to express his dissatisfaction with her words.
"Is it angry?"
Su squinted her eyes and smiled, and replied: "No, no, this is just our way of saying goodbye." When she said the last few words, she opened her eyes, and her smile gradually became fixed, revealing pupils that were not round. After feeling Le Zhengqiming's gaze, she squinted and smiled at him again, and said: "Everyone, take a rest, Miss Shuiling is on the way. That, Su has another request, please help me."
"You wanted us to keep it a secret."
"It's easy to talk to smart people. Please keep it a secret, otherwise Miss Shui Ling will be angry, okay?"
"It was coming for me just now. He should have seen it. It's better to hide it for now to avoid embarrassing Shui Ling."
Le Zheng Yuhua agreed immediately. The person involved had already spoken, and Le Zhengli would not say anything else. He was just a little concerned about the reason why it attacked Le Zheng Yuhua, but Le Zheng Qiming didn't care. Besides, they both agreed to keep it a secret.
"Then I would like to thank you all in advance. I am sorry for bothering you. I will take my leave now. Please have a good rest."
Su turned into a beast again and ran out quickly. Not long after, Le Zheng Shui Ling came over and brought a lot of snacks.
"We rarely have guests at home, and I've only brought Qi Ming here twice. This guy is a loser, and he's terribly afraid of my mother. Although my mother is strict, she's still a very good person."
"You talk as if you're not afraid of her."
Le Zheng Shui Ling was ruthlessly exposed by Le Zheng Qi Ming and could only cover it up with a silly smile.
"Eat, eat. These are the cakes that mother made for us."
Le Zheng Yuhua remembered that there was no such thing as a cat in this world, and he didn't know how to call the cat tribe here. Moreover, the two shikigami just now were obviously not the cats he knew, but they were very similar to cats. He also wanted to ask Le Zheng Shuiling about them, but he couldn't open his mouth after all.
"She must be very sad if something unpleasant happened the first time she invited me to her home. Since we are both fine, let's forget it so as not to upset her."
"Brother Yuhua, why are you looking at me? Look at Qiming, eat quickly, or he will eat it all."
"It's okay, there's plenty, just let him eat more."
"Do you think everyone is as delicious as you?"
"Why don't you put down what you're holding before you talk to me? You're just as delicious as I am."
"No, no, no, I'm definitely not as good as you. After all, I learned how to be good at eating from you."
"You stinky Qiming, you say you learned all the bad things from me, but why don't you say you learned the good things from me?"
"Who made you notorious, right, uncle-master?"
"Don't pull me into the water."
"If delicious food can't stop your mouth, I'll use my clothes to stop it."
Seeing this, Le Zheng Qiming stood up and ran. The two of them made a fuss around the table for a long time and almost overturned the whole table before they stopped.
Le Zheng Yuhua and Le Zheng Li standing by, one looked at the cakes on the table and smiled occasionally, while the other would tease Le Zheng Shuiling from time to time, as if he was looking for trouble in the world. Le Zheng Qiming couldn't help but say a few words to him, and he laughed even harder after hearing that.
Xuan was still on the roof opposite, his eyes fixed on Le Zheng Yuhua and the sword on his back.
"Heavenly Sword!"
It bared its fangs, and the aperture in its pupils became narrower, as if it was about to pounce and bite off Le Zheng Yuhua's throat.
"That's the Heavenly Sword, yes, but he is not the same person he was a thousand years ago. It's better for you to recognize him, brother."
Su's true appearance gradually became apparent. Xuan was interrupted by her again. He felt it was boring and turned around and ran to another yard.
Su looked back at him, shook her head and said, "For thousands of years, the disputes surrounding the Heavenly Sword have never stopped. Although we cannot pass it on to Miss Shui Ling, Master Zhong Ming must be worried about her. Would we, brother and sister, be willing to be involved in the dispute over the Heavenly Sword again?"
Su looked up at the moon and couldn't help shedding tears. When she raised her hand, she turned into a young girl, covering her face, then turned into a wisp of green smoke and followed Xuan.
