Chapter 64: Appalling
However, at this moment, Ye Qisheng, who had positioned the three of them as honest croppers, became unpredictable and cold because of Yin Seventeen's words. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
And all this happens in just one breath.
When Hua Zilai saw Ye Qisheng's eyes that were almost about to eat people, he was a little skeptical that he was wrong.
He couldn't help but rub his eyes, and when he raised his eyes to take a closer look, Ye Qisheng just looked at Yin Seventeen with a sad expression, not as sharp and cold as he saw.
He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he had really misread it!
But Hua Zilai didn't know at this time, in fact, Ye Qisheng's flashing malice was not only seen by him, but also captured Zhanyan and Yin Seventeen.
The two of them were silent, not as eye-rubbing and relieved as Hua Zilai, and their movements and emotions were so big.
Yin Seventeen saw that Ye Qisheng didn't speak for a long time, so he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes:
"Uncle Ye? Uncle Ye ......"
In fact, Yin Seventeen and Ye Qisheng were not sitting close, she shook her hand a few times in front of her at best, but it was enough for Ye Qisheng who was staring at her.
The coldness in Ye Qisheng's eyes faded, and he jumped into his eyes full of gentleness and kindness, he wiped the tears that slipped uncontrollably from his face, and said with some embarrassment:
"Let the three poor masters laugh, when I talk about the old things of our Ye family, I will inevitably always be excited!"
Ye Qisheng's contrast and deliberate concealment all fell into the eyes of Yin Seventeen and Zhanyan, the two only glanced at each other slightly, and then separated after a breath, as if it was as natural as a coincidental eye contact, it was normal and casual, and it would not make people look strange at all.
Yin Seventeen smiled lightly: "It's really human nature, we understand." ”
Zhan Yan also said: "It's okay." ”
Hua Zilai also said that it was not in the way, and let Ye Qisheng continue.
Ye Qisheng said that the new patriarch of the Ye clan that the baby boy grew up in was not his ancestor.
When he said this, he looked sad and inhibited, apparently trying to control his emotions.
Yin Qiqi looked at Ye Qisheng like this, and couldn't help but look down and stare at the pair of black cloth shoes at Ye Qisheng's feet.
Like her and Zhan Yan's hunch, Ye Qisheng's next narration of the Ye family's history really surprised the three of them, and more of them were terrified.
The baby boy became the new patriarch of the one hundred and twelfth generation, and after taking power, he began to practice the method of the Wang clan that he had seen in the strange book, and he wanted to prove that even if he only had half of the Ye bloodline, he could do the best job in this patriarchal position.
The old patriarch's questioning has undoubtedly become a permanent thorn in the baby boy's heart.
In order to remove this thorn, the baby boy almost went crazy.
Hua Zilai asked: "What is the law of the Wang people?" ”
Hua Zilai's question is exactly the question in the hearts of Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen, but Yin Seventeen has a bad intuition, and this kind of Wang method is usually not a good way.
Ye Qisheng said: "On top of the Ye family's annual clan sacrifice, the new patriarch canceled the usual five animal sacrifices and changed it to ......."
He stopped, his eyes drooping, his eyes tragic.
Yin Seventeen didn't urge Ye Qisheng, nor did Zhan Yan, and even Hua Zilai, who has always been quick to talk, was very eye-catching and waited patiently.
Yin Qiqi didn't miss the strangeness in Ye Qisheng's lowered eyes, she thought, he said that he was not the descendant of the new patriarch of the baby boy, so there must be a big problem, either he lied, or he had something else to hide.
Ye Qisheng was silent for a while, during which Ye Yin came in to refill the tea for everyone, and Ye Yin said to him:
"Lao Ye, say it! This matter has been on our hearts for so many years, and if we press it again, we will have to bring it into the coffin! ”
Ye Yin spoke heavily, and the three of Zhan Yan also listened heavily.
After Ye Yin went out, Ye Qisheng finally stopped being silent:
"The new patriarch canceled the usual sacrifice of five animals and replaced it with ...... Blood Sacrifice! ”
Blood sacrifices?
Hearing this word, Yin Seventeen suddenly had a terrifying picture in her mind, but she still lowered her voice slightly and asked:
"Uncle Ye, these five animal sacrifices generally refer to five kinds of animals, such as cows, dogs, sheep, pigs, and chickens, and blood sacrifices generally refer to the sacrifice of these five animals, slaughtered for blood to sacrifice to gods or ancestors......"
Ye Qisheng smiled, and smiled a little weirdly:
"Yin Kuaishou, I don't mean the small blood sacrifice of the five animal sacrifices of the regular sacrifice, but the big blood sacrifice that uses living people as sacrifices, also known as the big red sacrifice!"
The flowers are creepy, and the cold rises from the feet.
Only at this moment did he know that this appalling blood sacrifice was actually big or small?!
Zhan Yan looked at Yin Seventeen, whose heartbeat and panting began to be abnormal:
"Seventeen?"
After Yin Seventeen exhaled an air, he waved his hand to Zhanyan, but did not look at him:
"I'm fine, but when I think about that scene, I think it's too ...... It's too ......."
Ye Qisheng continued: "It's too bloody, it's too inhuman, Yin Kuaishou wants to say that." ”
His tone was surprisingly calm, devoid of the maddening gloom that he had before he said it.
Although the gloom was hidden by him very deeply, and even in everyone's eyes, he probably only saw his sadness and panic, but the subtle and fleeting gloom still did not escape her eyes.
And it's not just appearances.
She felt more deeply the gloomy mood and dark resistance he had when he spoke of the Great Blood Sacrifice.
Such a performance made her involuntarily guess - could it be that Ye Qisheng was present during the Ye Clan's Great Blood Sacrifice?
No.
As Ye Qisheng himself said, the Great Blood Sacrifice took place during the period when the baby boy was the new patriarch who had grown up, but it was not clear when it was.
Because of this, Yin Seventeen deliberately asked Ye Qisheng again:
"Uncle Ye, can you remember how long ago this living Great Blood Sacrifice happened?"
Ye Qisheng thought for a moment and said, "About a hundred years ago." ”
This makes even more sense.
Ye Qisheng is only in his forties, even if he really has a past life and this life, it is also a matter of his previous life or another life.
So, what is it that makes him feel so deeply like witnessing his own experience?
Yin Seventeen was even more sure that Ye Qisheng was hiding something at this time.
Ye Qisheng said that the Ye clan has declined, and the descendants of the Ye surname are in several neighboring villages, but they are only in a few households, and the prosperity of a hundred years ago has long been lost, and the Ye family has long lost the patriarch in charge.
Although the ancestral hall of the Ye family is still there, in addition to Ye Lao, who guards the ancestral hall, the annual ritual sacrifice is also the descendants of the Ye surname from several neighboring villages who make up enough five animal sacrifices, and the sacrifice process is simple and sloppy.
The festival in pomp and circumstance takes a day, but now it is just a formality, and it often ends in just a few hours.
Yin Seventeen asked the ancestral hall again, who has painted the flat forehead in recent years?
Ye Qisheng said that it was Ye Lao, who guarded the ancestral hall, who paid for and renovated it himself, and this Ye Lao is now also the person in charge of the Ye ancestral hall, and everyone and everything in the ancestral hall can be agreed by Ye Lao.
In other words, if the three of them want to enter the ancestral hall to have a look, they must obtain the consent of this Ye Lao.
