After being reincarnated as a bad woman, I became my enemy?

It is used to support the ominous tree that grows by absorbing dead matter.

Zijin wood.

This is the biggest secret of the Zhou family. The existence of Zijinmu cannot be known to anyone outside the Zhou family, and most of the Zhou family members who know this secret will be executed in advance.

Guard the only Zijin tree left in the world, let it germinate and let it grow.

Make it as strong as it was thousands of years ago.

For this long-cherished wish, the Zhou family, starting from their ancestors, used the blood of their own family, corpses picked up by the roadside, and dead people obtained through secret transactions to irrigate and cultivate a party to supply Zijinmu to grow corpse soil.

Lacking vitality, the family members died early one after another, and instead of using their wealth to strengthen themselves, they used a large amount of corpses. This practice made this family with a long history impoverished and weak.

However, that's exactly what they're after.

Only the weak can guard this secret.

Only the weak can avoid being watched by those suddenly rising strong men, and can carefully water the tree of salvation that is rooted in the Zhou family's corpse in a long time.

In the long history, they guarded their secrets firmly, huddled in a small corner of Nanzhou, not to accumulate any power, not to attract anyone's attention.

Like a nest of ants in a torrential rain, they use the corpses of their clansmen to preserve the core ant queen.

In this way, after hundreds of years of hard work, in the world where spiritual sources are scarce, the Purple Gold Wood is growing extremely slowly.

Originally, according to the normal speed, it would take quite a long time for Zijinmu to fully develop into a towering tree.

The Zhou family should continue to live silently as a clan protecting Zijinmu.

But more than 20 years ago, a change happened.

The growth rate of Zijinmu suddenly became faster.

For some reason, the source of spirituality between the heaven and the earth became abundant, and the speed of Zijinmu died ten times or a hundred times faster than before.

The dead wood that the Zhou family has taken care of for generations is desperately looking for more corpses, more blood, and more nourishment.

Like a child who suddenly grows up and becomes hungry.

The Zhou family panicked and went crazy.

The long-cherished wish for thousands of years has finally gradually become within reach.

As a result, there was an additional Zhou family in Nanzhou who relied on selling drugs for a living and was located at the end of the top ten families.

This group of reclusive refugees began to seek their status in the world, and the corpses of their clansmen were not enough to provide the nutrients the trees needed.

The Zhou family needs more money and greater status to nourish that long-cherished wish and nurture that dream.

The obsession that has shrouded the Zhou family for thousands of years is finally about to be cleared.

The current head of the Zhou family, Zhou Zhuyi, announced the end of the short life of the Zhou family.

According to Zijinmu's growth expectations, in less than two generations, this sacred tree that once saved the world will complete its growth, spread its branches and leaves, shed its seeds, and become as prosperous as it was a thousand years ago.

Yep... only one generation left.

"His" long-cherished wish is about to come true.

What a long time.

The vicissitudes of life, the changes of the world.

But "he" finally witnessed Zijinmu's growth again.

Just one more generation to sacrifice.

Unfortunately……

This generation of Zhou family only gave birth to two daughters.

What a pity.

The appearance of these two daughters is not like the earliest "he".

Zhou Zhuyi often looked at his own face in the mirror, recalling what he looked like thousands of years ago when he was still following behind that "Zijin Daoist".

yes……

In order to ensure that the will of the Zhou family will not be changed, and to ensure that this spirit of sacrifice can survive.

In order to ensure that his great dream will not be destroyed by future generations who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

The earliest and earliest "he" turned his memory into a haze that enveloped the entire Zhou family, and passed it down from generation to generation.

The child of the Patriarch of the Zhou family will be branded with tattoos when he is three years old.

It was a tattoo transformed by yin and aura, and it contained his will and memory.

When the body of the previous Patriarch is about to enter a period of decline and becomes a living sacrifice and is fed to a big tree, the candidate for the next Patriarch will become "him".

This has been the case for generations.

An obsession that has survived for a thousand years.

A curse, a ghost.

"Ugh..."

Zhou Qingying's shoulders trembled, suppressing the desire to tear the book in front of her.

Ah... yeah...

Why did I feel familiar when I saw the branch that Hang Yanling handed over...

In the vague memory, that gloomy tree...it turned out to be the Zijinmu...

"You sent me away from the Zhou family... because... you didn't want me to be..."

"Ah."

Zhou Qinghe said with a smile: "That day was the day my father decided to brand you with a tattoo. I wanted to kill you directly, but if your body is found by my father, it will still turn into nourishment for that big tree... So I took you out while he wasn't paying attention."

She paused, and sighed softly: "So I won't lie to you - I really did want to kill you, and put you in that deep mountain, I want the wild dogs to eat you!" Drop your corpse, I am surprised that you survived."

"Why do you...don't..."

Zhou Qingying bit her lip.

Why do you decide my life or death?

I wanted to ask this, but if everything she said was true, this question was meaningless.

Because in the Zhou family, no one can decide their own life or death.

Born, either to become that person's parasite, or to become a living sacrifice to the big tree.

……

"I have nothing to justify. I want to kill you because of my own selfishness."

Zhou Qinghe looked at his sister honestly: "Do you know how my mother died?"

"……Can not remember."

"When she gave birth to you, she had a difficult labor. But the medicine at home can actually make her survive, but after that... her body will be very weak for many years."

"..."

"But at that time, my father felt that the vitality of the mother who was barely saved would become much worse than before. Instead of letting her waste her life, it is better to turn her into the nourishment of the tree before she is completely weakened."

Zhou Qinghe smiled gently, she lowered her head, the hair around her ears fell down, covering half of her face again.

"So, when you were only two days old, your mother was taken to that cemetery...and buried alive."

Zhou Qingying was speechless.

But Zhou Qinghe's gentle voice continued to tell the past.

"It was at that time that I knew the fate of the Zhou family—of course, my father would not hide it from me. After all, I was the most likely person to become his next body. My tattoo has already been branded... But when my father decided to bury the weak you, I stopped him."

"Mother is dead, you, you are the only proof that she has survived."

"I put a knife on my neck and begged my father not to kill you. At that time, I was my father's only choice. If I died, it would be difficult for him... So, I saved you."

"By the way, I also took your name... Yinger, Shadow... At that time, I hoped that you would be the shadow of my mother. Taking care of you was also out of nostalgia for my mother..."

"Father promised me to find a nanny for you, to treat you, and to grow you up... When you were young, I stayed by your side every step of the way, crying secretly, thinking about my mother secretly, and complaining secretly about my fate."

"Later you grew up, became cute, could crawl, walk, and be called sister... I realized that you are my sister, not the continuation of my mother."

"At that time, I began to wonder... Will one day, you will be abandoned by him just like your mother."

"When you were three years old, my father told me to plant the same brand on you. I was afraid..."

"You will definitely die when you grow up, and you will definitely be buried in that cemetery... You must be as scared as I am..."

"You are my lovely sister, my shadow, there are only two endings in the future."

"One is that you become the body of that person, and your soul is completely distorted and ceases to exist. The other is that I become that person and kill you with my own hands."

"And the time for this ending to come can be as long as 30 years or as short as 20 years."

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I will cherish you as a younger sister more and more, and I will be more and more reluctant to part with you."

"I'm afraid of your pain, and I'm even more afraid of my own pain."

"I also hate my father and the Zhou family."

"Since mother's death, as you grow up, my hatred for the Zhou family sprouts day by day."

"The fate of our sisters is not good. We were reincarnated by mistake in this life."

"While you are not very sensible... let you end early."

Zhou Qinghe covered his face and let out a hey laugh.

"The Zhou family was not very powerful, but for me at that time, it was really too far, too far... I couldn't let your body be absorbed by that tree, so I secretly made a plan to put You were sent to Qiudang Mountain, which is the farthest distance I can go, and it is also the distance where you are absolutely impossible to be picked up and sent back to Zhou's house."

"I wanted to find a wild dog den, and I would be eaten before you. If you reincarnate in the next life, I will compensate you for something."

"But I didn't expect that after imprinting that tattoo, I would not even be able to commit suicide."

"I lost control of my body and was ordered to go home. My father didn't beat me, but he just felt like I lost a puppy. If I can find it, I will look for it. If I can't find it, forget it."

"After that, I was planning how to destroy the Zhou family. The most direct way is to let myself die."

"I've tried many things over the years - no matter what, I'm going to lose control of my body before killing myself..."

Zhou Qinghe raised his head and looked at Zhou Qingying.

"When I saw you again, I have been looking forward to... looking forward to the day when I can tell you all these words that I have held in my heart for 17 years... I will tell you all. Because you will not be controlled by your father... ...And I was the one who once wanted to kill you, so you must really want to kill me too... I hope that after you kill me, you can inherit my will and use the power of Lianhua Palace to destroy our Zhou family."

After all, Zhou Qinghe let out a long breath, and his smile became bitter.

"I've helped so many people, and I just want them to remember me well, to remember the original me, Zhou Qinghe's person, more after I'm dead or taken over by 'him'."

"If you killed me a few days ago... I would never complain. But it's different now... I, I want to live a few more days... I want to wait for her to recover her memory... Ask that Hang Yanling, why She wants to do so much for me...I want to know what kind of person I am in her heart...Do I have any value left..."

After saying this, looking at his sister who had not said anything for a long time, Zhou Qinghe felt a bit of bitterness in his heart.

She wanted to reach out and touch her sister's face, just like she did when she was a child.

She also wanted to ask her sister how she was doing...

But there is no need for that anymore.

With that Hang Yanling by her side... she should have had a very happy childhood.

I can't give her happiness, so naturally I don't have the right to ask her.

Zhou Qinghe fluttered up, her legs wrapped around her skirt, and her knees were bent.

puff.

She knelt on the ground, pressed her hands to the floor, and sank her head, clinging to the ground.

kneel.

kowtow.

"I know I don't have the face to say that, but I beg you to spare my life first...Give me a few days, just a few days... Please."

Bang, bang.

Again and again, the older sister kowtowed to her younger sister for mercy.

This sister who wanted to kill her own sister.
