04 The ban of the underworld
Okay, you say", she looked at me seriously.
I picked up the tea, blew it, took a few sips, and put down the tea bowl.
"More than 4,000 years ago, the underworld and the demon world selected seven demon clans in the human world, gave them a secret talisman each, and made different contracts with them according to the different attributes of the secret talisman", I said, "Among them, what was handed over to the Su family to guard was the Vermilion Bird Secret Talisman among the seven secret talismans." ”
"Suzaku Secret Talisman?" She frowned.
"Yes," I nodded, "They hid the Vermilion Bird Secret Talisman on Tianfeng Mountain, but where this Tianfeng Mountain is, only the Underworld and the Demon Realm know. ”
"And what's going on with this phoenix eye?" She asked.
"The Eye of the Phoenix is the key to finding Tianfeng Mountain and opening the secret talisman", I said, "The Underworld and the Demon Realm handed over this key to the Su family, and it will choose the right person by itself and hide it on this person's body, and this person is the head of the Su family." Because the Eye of the Phoenix is good at concealment, for more than 4,000 years, the head of the Su family has been mysterious, not to mention outsiders, and even many people in our clan have not been able to understand their identities. Therefore, for more than 4,000 years, other families have been attacked by other demons to varying degrees, trying to seize the holy relics they guard, but the Su family has always been safe. ”
"You're right," she sighed softly, "The Su family has indeed not experienced much change in the past 4,000 years, and it has always been safe. ”
I nodded and continued, "We can be safe because of the Eye of the Phoenix, as long as it does not appear in the world, the Tianfeng Mountain and the Vermilion Bird Secret Talisman will be safe." But once it went wrong and left the Su family's body, Fengshan and the secret talisman would be in danger that day. Therefore, when the underworld and the demon world made a contract with the Su family, there was such a clause - if the secret talisman left the head of the Su family and appeared in the human world, then the underworld would destroy the Su family. ”
She was shocked, "Destroy our clan? ”
"Yes, exterminate the people," I said calmly.
"That's unreasonable, isn't it?" She was excited, "The successive family heads were chosen by the Phoenix Eye himself, can we intervene?" If it is to manifest itself, what can we do? We can't do anything! In such a situation, we still want to destroy our race, how can there be such a reason in the world? ”
"The underworld and the demon world are doing this to make the Su family follow the rules", I looked at her, "You are one of the seven demon clans in Yanxia, but you are forbidden to conflict with other demon clans, isn't that so?" They originally lived in the north, but later they were forced by other demon clans to give up their territory again and again, and they kept moving, isn't that the case? ”
She calmed down and nodded, "You're right, that's ......"
"The reason why we are forbidden to fight with other demon clans is because behind the eye of the phoenix is the Vermilion Bird Secret Talisman," I said, "The Vermilion Bird is the chief official, and it is easy to fight, and if they start a war with other demon clans, it will inevitably touch the Vermilion Bird Secret Talisman through the Phoenix Eye." And once the Vermilion Bird Secret Talisman is touched, it will in turn impact the Eye of the Phoenix, in that case, the Eye of the Phoenix will inevitably leave the head of the Su family and show its true appearance in the world. The underworld added the clause of exterminating our clans in order to deter our aggressive hearts, so as to prevent our future family heads from starting wars with other demon clans because of their own family strength. ”
"But we didn't go to war," she said sadly, "for more than 4,000 years, we moved from Shangjing to Xijing, then to the Central Plains, to southern Yunnan, to Nanyue, and finally to Jinling. We've been forbearing, we've been keeping the contract between the underworld and the demon world, but now isn't the phoenix's eye still going to manifest? ”
"I said, it manifested because its mission was coming to an end", I said, "More than four thousand years later, the owner of the Vermilion Bird Secret Talisman came, and it was looking for her master, so the Phoenix Eye began to manifest." ”
"Its owner......" she looked at me in amazement.
I avoided her gaze and cleared my throat, "It is precisely because of the terms of the Underworld and the Demon Realm to destroy the Su family that our ancestors have set the family rules for the blood sacrifice of the Eye of the Phoenix. Because it takes time for the Eye of the Phoenix to complete its manifestation, before it can be fully revealed, as long as the head of the family is killed, the Eye of the Phoenix will have to be transferred to another person and start the process of manifestation again. The ancestor of the family did this as a last resort, he was in order to save the entire Su family. ”
"Last resort...... she smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly.
"If the Vermilion Bird Secret Talisman is going to return to its master, the Eye of the Phoenix will be revealed, and no one can stop this", I looked at her, "So I just said that it is the last head of the Su family to be chosen by the Eye of the Phoenix." This set of rules has been passed down in the Su family for more than 4,000 years, but now, it must be changed. From now on, only the descendants of the descendants can inherit the position of the head of the family, and only in this way can the Su family be ensured. ”
She lowered her head and nodded silently.
"I know it's hard to challenge tradition," I sighed softly, "but don't worry, as long as you say yes, I'll help." When this matter is resolved, I will let the Su family really control it and become the head of the family in the real sense. ”
She was silent for a moment and looked up at me, "Young Master, can I ask you a question?" ”
"Yes", I said.
"You're the owner of the Suzaku Talisman, aren't you?" She looked at me.
I looked at her quietly, not knowing what to say.
"Am I right?" She asked.
"Why do you think so?" I asked her.
"Because after I saw you, the phoenix's eyes began to appear", she stared at me, "You are its master, and it has waited for you for more than 4,000 years, so it can't bear to see you, right?" ”
I didn't speak, but nodded silently.
She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at me, "Okay, then I'll be relieved." I listen to you, what you tell me to do, I will do! ”
"Okay", I said, "this matter must be kept secret, and it must not be told to the people of the Su family." ”
"Don't worry, I know," she said, "it's a secret, you can tell me, it's already given me a big face, and I won't reveal it to others." ”
"Hmm!" I nodded.
She took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and then said to me, "I agreed to both of these points, and now you can tell me how many blessings I need, right?" ”
"I'm the owner of the Suzaku Secret Talisman," I looked at her, "Don't you think, I'm the one who has caused it?" In this case, you still ask me to pray for blessings? ”
"You can't say that", she looked at me seriously, "I don't think it's you who has caused me to be affected, I am the head of the Su family, and it is my mission to protect the Eye of the Phoenix, you are helping me now, you must follow the rules!" Young master, don't think about it too much, you just tell me, how much is appropriate. ”
I looked at her for a moment and nodded, "My casualness, my assistant's thirteen million." ”
"Good!" She was very happy, "You send me the account, and I'll do it right away!" ”
I took out my phone, edited a text message from my and Kerr's accounts, and sent it to her.
She then got to work.
After a while, I received a text message from the bank, and she transferred me 210 million.
I subconsciously glanced at her.
"Don't be too little......," she said quickly, "I hit ...... by feeling"
I smiled lightly, "It feels accurate." ”
She smiled embarrassedly and breathed a sigh of relief, then she picked up the tea and drank it with a clatter.
You could tell she was thirsty.
I picked up my tea and took a sip of it.
At this time, Kerr's phone called.
"Young master, are you going to do something?" She asked excitedly.
"Where are you now?"
"I'm at home, I came back last night", she said, "Master, where are you going this time?" ”
"Wait at home," I said, "I'll have someone pick it up." ”
"Good!" Kerr was happy.
I hung up the phone and asked Su Jing, "Do you know where Ke'er lives?" ”
"Yes!" She stood up, "I have been to Instructor Su's house with Ju Chen, and I remember the address. ”
"Okay," I nodded, "go get Kerr." ”
"Hmm!" She threw her fist at me, "I'll go!" ”
She turned and walked away.
I watched her leave, watched her walk out of the villa, her figure flashed, and she disappeared with a thud.
I pondered for a moment, stood up, and turned to go upstairs.
