Chapter 198 Fragile alliance(1/2)
Zhuanyun's face was cold, his right hand was like an eagle claw and he grabbed Peng Yu's neck, and said fiercely: "What's wrong with him!"
Peng Yu was surprised at Zhuanyun's hidden cultivation, but he was not panicked about his arrest.
He did not activate the backhand left on Zhuanyun, and said calmly: "It's smallpox, he has infected smallpox."
"Smallopsis." Zhuanyun's face changed and he took a few steps back and opened his hand: "How could he get smallpox? Simu Palace is very cautious and it is impossible for outsiders to bring things in. How could he get smallpox?"
Zhuanyang and Kunhao are the core figures of the Zhuansun clan, Kunwu clan. Both sides tried their best to protect the "cup".
Not to mention the ceiling, even a piece of rag could not be secretly sent in.
Zhuanyun could imagine that when his father and the Divine Emperor learned about Simu Palace, a large number of people would be in trouble.
Especially the Divine Emperor, Zhuanyang Neng was attacked, what about Kunhao? Are his brothers plotting against him?
As long as the God Emperor develops associations, it will be the wrath of the emperor, and he will be buried in millions of corpses.
Zhuanyun's brain was spinning rapidly, but he could be sure.
This matter has nothing to do with my family, and in this matter, I will reach a tacit understanding with the God Emperor and work together to investigate the real murderer. Therefore, my family's power is not damaged.
Seeing Zhuanyun's expression constantly changing, Peng Yu slowly explained: "I checked the palace and except him, no one was infected in the past three days, and it seemed like it was a sudden outbreak."
Thinking of this, Peng Yu felt even more guilty. Maybe it was his typhoid elixir that attracted the acne demon?
"He's the only one?" Zhuanyun's expression was strange: Could it be the thing he touched three days ago? But why did the curse not rebound to me, but fell on Zhuanyang?
The two of them stood quietly for a while.
Zhuanyun said, "Since something happened to my brother, let's be honest. Who am I? Your Highness knows, I want to save him."
The clouds slowly circled, and he showed his true face, a face similar to Zhuanyang.
Peng Yu nodded: "Your sin of trespassing into the underground palace will be reconciled to you. Now, it is important to treat him."
Are you also breaking into the underground palace?
Zhuanyun wanted to fight back, but it was related to his brother's safety and he was temporarily patient.
After thinking about it, he revealed a secret about his family: "Smallopsis is different to my family than others."
"I believe Your Highness knows the origin of smallpox. It was the curse of the ancient demon god's acne on the ancestors of Dakun. Initially, the mortality rate was as high as 100%, which was even more fierce than the curse of the Plague Emperor and the Wind Demon."
Peng Yu was not surprised: the Queen Mother of the Pox God applied the curse to a disease, and the effect was definitely stronger than the dispersion.
Zhuanyun: "The Holy Queen came up with a way to lock the curse in her descendants, use the Kunwu divine vein to weaken the curse, and minimize the casualties of the people. And this person..."
"King Gaoyang?"
"No, it's Princess Zhaohua."
The mother of King Gaoyang and the sister of Emperor Ren of the third generation.
Peng Yu was silent.
Sacrifice of one of Kunwu's daughters in exchange for the survival rate of all the citizens, this deal is even more cost-effective.
But it is too unfair to the victims.
And the more innocent one is Gao.
After looking at Peng Yu, Zhuanyun continued: "The Holy Queen will incorporate the curse into her granddaughter's body. As her granddaughter married into the Gao family, this curse invisibly pitted the Gao family's lineage."
Therefore, Emperor Ren promised that as long as the Great Kun is immortal, the wealth and honor of the Gao family will always be there.
Later, the Gao family changed its name to Zhuansun because of the birth of King Gaoyang, and became one of the three royal families with the support of the Ling Emperor.
"Smallopsis is very lethal to my family, and it is the disease that most restrains the Zhuansun family. And almost every Zhuansun clan member will get smallpox."
"No one can survive?"
"Someone can be spared." Zhuanyun saw Peng Yu's eyes lit up and told a unique joke from Zhuansun: "Before Zhongli, if you die because of other diseases, you will be unable to get the smallpox. Your Highness and Zhuanyang have such a good relationship, you should know that he is most afraid of the cold."
“…”
Yes, Zhuanyang is afraid of the cold and is prone to diseases such as typhoid fever.
This is also a characteristic inherited from the divine nature of Zhuansun.
"Wait, Zhuansun's intermarriage with foreign tribes, will this blood disease spread?" Peng Yu thought of one thing: "Why haven't I heard that smallpox has harmed other gods so strongly?"
Zhuan Yun looked at Peng Yu with a complicated look, as if he wanted to say something, but he held it back.
After a while, he said: "The curse is entangled in the divine nature of our tribe. When the daughter of our tribe marrys a foreign tribe and is impacted by the divine nature of the foreign tribe, the curse will disappear. But if the foreign tribe marrys into our tribe and retains the divine nature of the Zhuansun clan, the curse will also be preserved."
The Zhuansun clan came from the combination of Gao and Kunwu clans. But back then, it was the early stage of the Divine Dynasty, and the divine concentration of the major gods was insufficient, so it was impossible to wash away the curse in Kunwu's bloodline.
The pure yang divinity of the Gao family lineage and the sun and moon divinity of the Kunwu family are extremely complementary. The combination of Princess Zhaohua and her husband's divinity has not been retained, but has become a kind of dignity that is most strong and domineering.
It has the ability of Kunwu to activate the sun essence, and the ability of Gao's lineage to subdue demons and exorcise evil spirits.
In the past, Kunwu clan concealed the curse of Princess Zhaohua and asked Gao to join this marriage. It might be that he intended to use Gao's divine nature to wash away the curse of Zhaohua.
But the curse of the Queen Mother God of Acupoint was too sinister and even Gao's power to subdue demons could not be washed away, but instead he almost killed Gao's clan.
If the Spirit Emperor hadn't helped King Gaoyang to prosper, the entire Gao family would have been able to declare their removal directly.
But even the power of the Spirit Emperor can only save King Gaoyang and cannot eradicate the curse. Since the divine nature of the Zhuansun clan was passed down by King Gaoyang, the curse of the Smallpox was also passed down.
In each generation, the Zhuansun clan members died of smallpox. As a sacrifice, the smallpox curse would be weakened for other citizens of the Great Kun Divine Dynasty.
Since the Gaoyang King, the Zhuansun clan has been passed down for six generations, but there are still not many core clan members, and more than half of them die from smallpox disease.
This also caused the Zhuansun family to join forces and attach importance to the tradition of their tribe members.
Anyone who dares to hurt Zhuansun's bloodline will be chased to the ends of the world.
Even the Kunwu clan has never stopped revenge.
This point is almost an imprint engraved in their divinity.
After Zhuanyun explained his secret, he half-jokingly said: "After your highness knows this, please don't spread it. Otherwise, my family will not get married."
"If we do not rebirth, Kunwu will not find other suckers to fight the disaster for the people."
Hearing the sarcasm in the words, Peng Yu wanted to speak but stopped.
Everyone knows that the Holy Queen weakens the smallpox curse and benefits the God Dynasty for thousands of generations, but she does not know that there is a clan behind her silent sacrifice.
"Of course, our despicable behavior is different from Kunwu's family. Before marriage, our son of Zhuansun family will tell the woman his own situation seriously. Only when both parties understand it will marry."
"But in recent years, there are not many big families who are willing to marry us."
Peng Yu's mind went through. Indeed, Zhuansun's marriage partners in recent years rarely saw a large family daughter, and many of them were ascending female cultivators from all over the world. Even Zhuanyang's mother, the second wife of Yunyang Hou, was also the daughter of two Ascensioners in the lower realm.
Faced with Zhuanyun's resentment, Peng Yu was speechless.
If you conceal your "sickness" before marriage, you will be scolded on earth.
But in this case, Kunhao is the child of Kunwu. Peng Yu reluctantly said: "I heard... I heard that the parents and husband of Gaoyang were in love and had a good relationship. Maybe he knew about it before marriage-"
"I don't know!" Zhuan Yun interrupted: "This was written by the ancestors in their diaries, even Princess Zhaohua admitted. After the two of them died in succession, the ancestors became suspicious and began to investigate the matter."
Before Princess Zhaohua, Gao's divine nature resisted many curses, and smallpox did not harm them much. Almost no descendants of Gao died under the normal version of the smallpox curse.
This is also why the Holy Queen forced Princess Zhaohua to marry the Gao family.
But the super-enhanced version of the Smallpox Curse tricked three children into one after another, causing the entire Gao family to be confused.
In the end, Princess Zhaohua could not withstand the pressure and could only tell the truth.
Peng Yu's eyes were slackened and he stumbled: "Didn't King Gaoyang survive later?"
"Only one of the twelve children survived. You must know that Gao was born and died in the Divine Dynasty. His three sons and two daughters died in the battlefield, leaving only one young son, which is the only one of the Gao family."
"Kunwu deliberately married Princess Zhaohua to Gao, and several children died one after another. The old man Gao was so angry that he saw his last granddaughter died the day before his death."
"Do you know, this incident was a huge impact back then. All the major families asked the God Emperor to ask for an explanation. In the end, Emperor Ren swears to protect the Gao family forever, so that each family can barely give up."
Peng Yu was silent. The impact of this matter was too bad. No one could allow Kunwu to be so cheating.
The only person involved knows whether the eldest princess and his wife were in true love or show.
But watching the children die because of their curse. What complicated emotions does the ancestor Gao family hold?
"Later Gao's name was changed to Zhuansun. After all, Princess Zhaohua was the mother of our ancestors."
Other Gao clans may hate the eldest princess, but what about Gao Xuan. After all, he was the mother who gave birth to him and raised him.
Perhaps, the statement that parents have deep feelings was also deliberately spread by King Gaoyang?
Seeing the change in the expression on Peng Yu's face, Zhuanyun guessed what he thought.
Not only him, he also thinks so.
What happened back then must have been passed down, and the ancestors must have had various beautifications, right?
And as a descendant, can you hate the curse brought by the eldest princess?
Just like Mrs. Yunyang, Zhuansun only revenges the people in Xiaoyunyang Cave, but never disrespects Mrs. Yunyang.
Facing the eldest princess, Zhuansun clan would only vent his resentment on Kunwu clan.
Because the eldest princess and Mrs. Yunyang are both the creators of their bloodline.
