Chapter 407: Bloody Night (II)
"Imagine if I didn't do this, my sister would inherit the family business, my sister's children would be the next head, and I would be useless, and I would slowly become an old woman, and then die, and now I am afraid that there will be no ashes left. Is that a good outcome? Obviously not for me, the best I wanted, would never come true, it would only be an illusion, a dream, a dream out of reach. Jiang Yurou said.
What she said was right, after listening to her narration, I really don't know what to call her, the crimes committed by this predecessor of our Jiang family can no longer be described as hurting heaven and reason, and heaven is intolerable.
"You've done so much, don't you feel a trace of regret?" I asked.
"Regret?! Regret?! yes, do I regret it? In the first few years, I really didn't, because I felt in my heart that I was right, and all I did was follow my true wishes, but in the dead of night, the entire Jiang family mansion would become extremely quiet, impersonal silence, I began to have insomnia, and as soon as I closed my eyes, it was the shadow of my family. In order to be able to put my mind at ease, I set a fire. β
"You set the fire in the Jiang family's mansion before?" I asked.
"Yes, it's me, I set a fire and burned the entire Jiang family, I thought that in this way I could burn everything, so that I could sleep peacefully, but no, I still feel lonely, it is a loneliness that emanates from the bottom of my heart. I feel like my family is so far away from me. I know my sister fled with her niece, but they are not like me. They have yin and yang techniques, I think it's possible that they are still living with my mother, sister, brother-in-law, and Wang Jin, and they can see that they are dead, and you see that they can also be reunited in another world, but I am left alone, which is not fair, not fair. In order to make me feel better. I decided to build the Jiang family's mansion at the entrance to the ancestral tomb. In this way, outsiders will not be able to find the ancestral tomb, and no one will be able to know what happened here. Who would have thought that it was because I moved the Jiang family's mansion to the mountains that it was saved in the turmoil later. The period of invasion of China. Liberation period. I let Agui destroy the road, and the usual contact has become a flying pigeon, which is difficult. But in the end, the Jiang family was retained. Jiang Yurou said.
"At this point, I don't know if I should hate you or be grateful to you."
"You don't have to do anything, I'm redeeming by doing it, in fact, when I reached my mother's age, I already regretted it. I prayed with all my heart that my sister and my niece would still be alive so that I could make amends as best I could, and I finally took this step, and I asked my men to start looking for them. This matter can't be moved to the table, so I let Agui do it secretly. Fifteen years, a whole fifteen years, I finally got the news of them, it turned out that they didn't go far, how ridiculous, I was obviously looking for them all over the world, and they were under my nose, the most dangerous place is the safest place, I didn't even think of it. I guess my sister will also be worried about the situation of the mansion, this old mansion of the Jiang family has too many secrets, my sister obviously knows more, she is guarding here, or rather monitoring here. Jiang Yurou said.
"So, you found them later?" I asked anxiously, and I think I was getting closer to the answer I was looking for.
"Yes, but not exactly, it was many years later, my niece had grown up, I don't know where she went, I found my sister, but she was... On oneβs last legs. I saw her for the last time, but she couldn't say anything, her neighbors said she had been dumb for years, and I guessed that maybe she had used some forbidden spell to make her look like that. Jiang Yurou said.
"I think it's the opposite, the true heir of the Kui clan must be pure-minded, and she will definitely not use any forbidden techniques." I say.
"You junior doesn't know anything, why are you so sure?" Jiang Yurou said unconvinced.
"She would have used so many forbidden spells, but she has never retaliated against you when she hides near you, and neither does your niece." I say.
Jiang Yurou sat back in the crystal coffin, her eyes looked at the ceiling vacantly, sorry it was too dark, I guess there should be only a rock wall, no ceiling, she seemed to fall into some kind of contemplation, and kept muttering to herself.
"Why? Why is she? She repeated it over and over again, and I think I was dabbling in a field she had never thought of.
"It doesn't matter anymore, I guess you should know something more useful and valuable to me, right?" I asked.
"You answer me, why did she do this? Why didn't she just come and kill me? She has the ability. β
"That's right, she must have this ability, if it weren't for the Jiang family's family banquet that you arranged a large number of people, I don't believe that anyone could push the descendants of the Kui family into a desperate situation." I say.
"Then why is she..."
"Why does it matter? Maybe she has more important things to do, maybe she understands what her mission is, and maybe your little bit of hatred is nothing compared to those missions. Or maybe she just doesn't want to have the blood of her loved ones on her hands like you. I said.
"But... Iβ" Jiang Yurou's tone became flustered, and I sensed that this conversation she was leading should be over.
"Jiang Yurou! I'm not here to hear you say this, if that's all you can tell me, then I feel like I can leave, I don't want to miss dinner with my grandmother, thanks to you, my time with her has become even shorter. I said and turned to leave.
"The mission of the family, the mission of your Kui clan." Jiang Yurou suddenly shouted beside me.
"What do those missions that I don't know exactly are, those destinations that have no direction, what do they have to do with me?" I say.
"That's what your grandmother has been seeking." Jiang Yurou said.
"Compared with these, I hope that grandma can live a long life." I say.
"There's a chance she's not going to die!" Jiang Yurou shouted, "Don't you want to know how you can give up the Yin-Yang Technique? As long as she gives up the yin-yang technique, she is an ordinary person, and she will not die at any time because of the recovery of your talent, at least she can live like an ordinary person. Jiang Yurou said.
"How?" I asked.
"I told you, I don't know, but there's a way here, and there's the answer you want behind this knock, and if it's you, it's definitely okay."
"Me? Why can I? I asked, puzzled.
"This is the ancestral tomb of the Kui clan."
"I've been very clear about that." I can't wait to know the results.
"My mother used to do things here, because there are more important ancestral graves of the Kui clan here, and there will naturally be some sacred blessings here, but I am not a Kui clan, I have never walked here before, so I don't know what spells they used, it may be simple or complicated." Jiang Yurou said.
"Since I can't even see you, then what can I do..."
"You can see it, huh? I heard Gui say, you can see it, it's amazing. If you can see it in the mansion, you can definitely do it here. Jiang Yurou said.
"Give me a reason? Having said all this to me, what exactly do you want me to do? I asked sharply, "Whether it is the Kui family's mission or my grandmother's life and death, it has nothing to do with you, why are you waiting for me here for so long?" Is it just out of guilt? I'm afraid I'm not convinced by this reason. I said.
"I... Well, I confess I just want to know what's going on here, whether my mother, my sister, my brother-in-law, in this door, is still there. Jiang Yurou said.
"You've been talking about that door, but where else is there any door here?" I say.
"That door is right in front of you." Jiang Yurou pointed behind her.
"Doors? But there's only a huge rock wall... You... You don't mean this is the door, do you? I asked, surprised.
"That's right, do you think that the Jiang family, the Kui family, or a little further, the entire Hi family, there is only one house above, obviously not, here, this underground ancestral tomb is actually the treasure house of the Hi family, otherwise why should I block the entrance to the ancestral tomb." This stone wall was formed after that day, originally I couldn't enter the ancient tomb, and then the enchantment disappeared, but there is an extra stone wall here, I have used various methods to no avail, I guess this is my mother made it, and the disappearance of the enchantment means that my mother is gone. For so many years, what has haunted me has always been how they spent their last moments, and I wonder if it may only make me feel more guilty, or maybe it will make me hate myself, but I have to know what my mother did to me in the end. Jiang Yurou said.
"To tell me the truth you don't want to know, Kui's forbidden arts, most of them will not end well, and have you forgotten that your sister was pregnant with a second child at the time, and you directly killed your other niece by doing so." I say.
Jiang Yurou covered her face in pain, "I know, I know all of this, so I want to know even more, even if it is for your grandmother, for the mysterious mission guarded by the Kui clan era, for the sake of my wishes, please pity a poor soul who has done something wrong, my time is running out, just do a good deed, the Kui clan has been kind for generations, can you bear to watch your ancestor Chen corpse in this stone wall." But I don't know if you can break the seal. Jiang Yurou pleaded.
"I, of course." (To be continued.) )
