As mentioned earlier, the Black Tower is tired of the unbridled greed of humans, but it has not given up on humans either.

The Black Tower gave the Seven Human Families seven keys, and the Seven Families were able to use the keys to make a wish to the Black Tower once every ten years.

This is the "Black Tower Token".

Under normal circumstances, the holder of the "Black Tower Token" and the family patriarch will not be the same person, and most of the time they are kept separately to ensure the safety of the "Black Tower Token". You must know that in the past hundreds of years, not only Gu Qi has calculated the "Black Tower Token" of other families, but other families have also calculated each other. On the surface, the seven families are smiling and smiling, but in fact, they are eager for the other six families to ascend to heaven on the spot.

In order to prevent these unreliable teammates from sticking knives in the back, they tried all kinds of routines - such as leaving illegitimate children outside, using their bodies as containers for the "Black Tower Token", and killing the illegitimate children once the family needs to use the "Black Tower Token", and forcibly taking out the "Black Tower Token" hidden in their bodies, and so on, I don't know how they came up with such operations.

There is a hard and fast rule for holding the "Black Tower Token".

The container must be a descendant of the Seven Great Families, and the genes of the Seven Great Families flowing in the blood will become the key to stimulating the "Black Tower Token", and it is also a necessary condition for compatibility with it. And because the seven major families have married each other over the years, their bloodlines are mixed, and they have long been indistinguishable from each other.

There have even been cases of secretly hiding the "Black Tower token" of family A on the illegitimate child of family B.

Gu Lu asked his henchmen to find out the whereabouts of the Shujia token, which was so difficult that it was tantamount to looking for a needle in the sea.

The seven families have been in constant conflict over the years, but they can't fight, and it has something to do with the unknown whereabouts of the "Black Tower Token".

Gu Qi wanted to take the initiative to break this balance.

Once it fails—

The Gu family will definitely become the target of public criticism!

When the henchman expressed his inner concerns, Gu Qi looked at the henchman calmly and said, "There is no if!"

"But the second master ......"

Gu Qi interrupted him, showing a rare strong side: "Just do what I say, don't ask more questions." ”

Henchmen can only do so.

Gu Lu did not deliberately hide this action from the second and third young masters of the Gu family.

I don't know which of them made a mistake, and the news leaked to the ears of several retired elders of the Gu family.

What is strange is that these elders not only did not jump to their feet and say that Gu Luo had brought danger to the Gu family and asked him to roll down from the position of acting head of the family and the helmsman, but they personally came to the door to talk to Gu Lu in the study, and no one knew what they said except themselves.

“...... How sure are you about this now?"

The elder asked Gu Lu, but instead of a domineering posture, he was a little cautious.

Gu Qi said: "As of now, the Shujia is the best place to start - although the goal has not yet been determined, there is not much time left for us. What is the current situation of the Gu family...... As you know, I won't say more. We must get a handful of 'Black Tower Tokens' before the next 'Holy Day', whether it is from the Su family, the Su family, or anyone...... Otherwise, the Gu family will be the last to be out. ”

He spoke vaguely, but several elders could grasp the truth.

“...... Truly...... It's not long before the Holy Day......"

The outside world thinks that the "Holy Day" is the day of the "Black Tower Coming" every year, and every year on the "Holy Day", whether it is a slum, an ordinary area or a rich area, various celebrations are held in various places, and the lively atmosphere is similar to the Chinese New Year in the previous life.

However, the "holy days" spoken of within the Seven Great Families are different.

Not once a year, but once a decade.

Every ten years, the Seven Great Families pray to the Black Tower with the "Black Tower Token", and the Black Tower will temporarily come to fulfill their wishes.

After the "Holy Day", the strength of the Seven Great Families will undergo a qualitative change.

And the Gu family's "Black Tower Token" has been missing since the patriarch of the previous generation and the eldest brother Gu Qi died violently.

For so many years, the Gu family secretly searched but did not find the "Black Tower Token". The loss of the "Black Tower Token" means that the skylight will be opened on the "Holy Day", once the other families know, even if the Gu family is still the head of the seven families, the six of them will unite to tear the Gu family apart and share the food!

It's not as simple as losing a token, it's about the life and death of a huge family and a huge force!

Thinking of this, the elders resented the patriarch of the previous generation even more.

That's rubbish.

If Gu Qi hadn't been too young back then, they would definitely have elected Gu Lu as the head of the family, and the previous head of the family would be cool.

If they die, they have to clean up the mess with a few of their old ones.

There is not much that the Gu family can do now, either to retrieve the original key or to take away the keys to other homes.

Anyway, if you miss a key, you have to be out of the game.

Since this is the case, then the dead Dao friends will not die and the poor Dao, and the matter of exterminating the clan will let other families suffer.

At first, he aimed at his in-laws Yang family, and let Gu Yun, the second young man of the Gu family, get engaged to the eldest lady of the Yang family, and the relationship became closer.

As a result, the eldest lady of the Yang family also died violently.

The Yang family is on guard and it is difficult to move.

Several elders were bald, so Gu Luo chose to "dream of home".

Another elder worried, "The Shujia family is not a bone to gnaw on. ”

Gu Qi said: "If the tooth is broken, you have to gnaw it off." ”

The study fell into mysterious silence again.

Indeed, there is not much time left for the Gu family.

Several elders left, and Gu Lu sneered and asked the housekeeper to bring the second young master of the Gu family over to exchange feelings between uncle and nephew.

At the end of the exchange, the relationship between the uncle and nephew went further.

In the dead of night, Gu Lu sat by the window of his room in a thin windbreaker and looked at the full moon outside the window, his eyebrows stretched.

He raised his hand and muttered something in a low voice.

“...... Time is running out......"

The palms in the line of sight are as white as jade, and there is not a single flaw in them when they turn over and over.

“...... If it is not broken, it will not stand...... Only by breaking the balance will the Gu who was raised by the Black Tower riot and kill each other......"

A strange thing happened, and his palm was slowly surrounded by a faint black mist, condensing an illusory key.

If you look closely, you will see that there seems to be the word "Gu" above the phantom of this key.

This is exactly the "Black Tower Token" that the Gu family couldn't find and the elders thought was missing.

At the same time, Pei Ye also looked at the key in his hand that was condensed by black mist.

This thing floated out of the body of the young master of the Su family.

At first, she thought it was a ghost, but when she looked closely, she realized that it wasn't.

Her instincts told her what it was supposed to do.

So, the small paper figure version of Pei Ye made a special talisman seal on the spot and took it away, and quickly left the crime scene.

yes –

The scene of the crime!

Pei Ye's body was inconvenient to move, so he simply possessed the little paper man, carried a few "superhuman medicines" on his back, waded through mountains and rivers from the ordinary area to the rich area, and found the young master of the Su family who had just been freed from the "nightmare". The latter lay on the bed exhausted, his clothes wet with sweat sticking to his skin, and his body was damp on the sheets.
