Chapter 22: Coerced Confessions

Sure enough, this old man Su wanted to take this opportunity to escape upstairs, and as soon as he jumped to the staircase, I grabbed the back collar, and he turned around and smirked at me.

"Old man Su, am I too gentle? Sue you, if you don't make it clear today, don't think about leaving, or else, just go out, don't come back, my life or death in the future has nothing to do with you, you choose. I looked at him coldly, I couldn't be softer today.

"Uh......" Grandpa struggled for a moment before waving his hand, then pointing to the collar and motioning for me to let him go.

I snorted, let go, and stared at him as he walked back to the tea table and sat down, he twisted unnaturally a few times, then coughed and hummed again.

"I ask, you answer." As soon as I looked at it, I held it up any longer, and it was time for the bar to open.

"Okay......" he replied reluctantly.

"Soul Gathering Array." I asked lightly, then picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, although it was a little cold, it was still very fragrant.

"This is a very vicious formation, mixed with all the vicious mana, using the pattern to operate, and the lead of the operation, is blood, human blood, and the demand is very large, it must be the blood of a boy or a virgin, and all the patterns drawn can be full in order to be effective." Grandpa knew that he couldn't escape, so he sighed and began to "confess".

I nodded slightly, indicating that I was listening, and asked him to continue, he took a deep breath: "And the key point of this formation is that it is to resurrect and regenerate as the main purpose, so it is necessary to engrave the birth date of the dead person on it, and the birth date of the person who needs to be bled must match it for the formation to work." ”

"Because it is too vicious, and the destination is not pure, so thousands of years ago, the ancestors began to seal this formation, not allowing family disciples to learn this method, and warned that if this method is encountered, it must be broken and eliminated with a ghost order, but although the ghost order can restrain this formation, it will also expose the identity of our Su family, so I have not taught you, and it is also for this reason." After Grandpa finished speaking, he touched the sweat on his head with his hand, picked up the slightly cold tea and poured it in one gulp.

"Exposed?" I seemed to have grasped the point again, because as soon as my words came out, my grandfather's body trembled slightly.

He looked at me with a pleading eye: "Little Ancestor, can't you not ask?" I've found a way to lift the curse, and as long as you succeed, you can marry whoever you want to marry like a normal person, and live to the age of a normal person. ”

I stared at him for a long time, and then the corners of my mouth were slightly raised, and I knew that things were not so simple, and I finally understood now that the things that Old Man Su didn't tell me were all related to curses.

"Grandpa, if it fails, the Su family, will it be gone?" I looked at him deeply.

Grandpa blinked, turned his head to the side, but shook his head.

"There are still people in the Su family, but they are just side branches, when the time comes, I will go back to the ancestral house and hand over the big seal of the Su family, just do it." Grandpa said it calmly, but I knew that he was very turbulent.

"Ancestral home? Side branches? "Again, I didn't know that before.

"Yes, the ancestral house of the Su family is in Anhui, we came out of there, three hundred years ago, the Su family was born two girls, one died early, and the other married safely and smoothly, but she followed the ancestral rules of the Su family and returned to the ancestral house of the Su family with her family. Grandpa looked at me with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"That's not all, right?" That's what he looked at me, there must be something to come, he didn't say.

"Alas...... You wait for me. After Grandpa finished speaking, he got up and went upstairs.

After I had two more cups of tea, my grandfather walked back with an A4 paper-sized book-like thing wrapped in animal skins.

After he sat down, he touched it with his hand before handing it to me and bowing his head to me: "Look at it." ”

I reached out and took it, my hand touched it, pure leather, the texture is very delicate, like deerskin, so very soft, I can see, this old man is very well maintained, I gently opened this layer of leather, a little yellowed thread-bound book appeared.

I couldn't help sighing, it's an old book again, the traditional Chinese characters look really tiring, but I can only accept my fate, who made my family an ancient family.

When I opened the book, a line of words came into my eyes: Only those who inherit the Su family can read it, but no, the disaster will be tied to the body, and it will not end well. (Only the heirs of the Su family can read it, no, they will be riddled with disasters and will not die well.) ）

In just one sentence, I have already explained clearly, what kind of book is this, I looked up at my grandfather, he was just drinking tea with his head down, and he couldn't see any changes in his feelings, but he held the white fingertips at the teaglass, and I knew that he was very nervous now, very nervous.

I didn't ask him anything, and kept scrolling down.

This is a book that records the old house of the Su family, from how the old house came to be, how it fell later, to how it was revitalized later, and how the family population grew.

It's just that in the last page, he only said a paragraph that made people scratch their heads: Today, the patriarch suddenly wrote a letter to inform him that there is a big disaster in the family, and the whole clan disappears, so that he can escape the world!

There was nothing after that.

I looked up again in confusion and looked at my grandfather, who was sitting there with no tea to drink, just in a daze.

"Done?" He looked at me with a solemn look in his eyes.

"I'm done." I answered.

"Alas...... The old mansion of the Su family is just a ghost house now, a ghost house that no one dares to approach, and there is no one left. Grandpa sighed.

"Old man, play deep, don't you, I don't believe it, you haven't gone back to see it." I raised my eyebrows at him, pretending to be pitiful, sympathizing, this is what he is best at, from childhood to adulthood, I can't finish the loss of this for three years, and I still pretend.

"Stinky girl, just know it, do you have to say it?" Grandpa glared at me, and the corners of my mouth lifted slightly.

"I knew you would be like this, let's get a new one, this trick is too old." I shook my head helplessly.

"Uh......" Grandpa must have wanted to say something, but he clicked his mouth and still didn't say it.

"Tell me, what's going on, why are you showing me this?" I said as I lifted my hand.

"Don't get carried away." Grandpa stood up nervously, snatched the notebook in my hand, touched it carefully a few times, and then wrapped it in the leather and carefully placed it on his lap.

"To say or not to say?" I narrowed my eyes.

"Say, of course, that you are now grown up and can inherit the family business, and I will pass it on ......to you," he began.

"Okay, let's go, what's going on?" I looked at him impatiently.

"I went back and looked at it, and it was true that no one lived on it, but there was still something else to gain." There seemed to be a sly light flashing in Grandpa's eyes.

"No one lives up there? Old man, you're playing word games with me again, aren't you? I squinted my eyes again, what was the old fox calculating.

"Ahem...... Girl, I found that you are getting better and better-looking, ahem...... It's getting smarter...... Hehe...... "As soon as he saw that I saw through it, he began to giggle.

I hurriedly stretched out my hand to block his face: "Stop, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, let's get down to business." ”

"Girl, ancestor, can you ignore this? I'll take care of it, and that's it. Grandpa had a bitter face again and started a bitter drama.

"You think I want to take care of it, the curse is for me, it doesn't matter, I'm worried about you, a lot of age, even if you are young, but you must be more than ninety years old, almost 100 years old, still tossing here every day, you are not tired, I am tired when I look at it." My eyes stood up, and I glared at him angrily, and my tone hardened a lot.
