Chapter 27: The Rupture

“…… Yu Sinuan? ”

"Yes, your mom gave you the name."

I hesitated for a moment, "Then why change your name?" ”

Dad sighed, "It started a long time ago. ”

Dad's eyes drifted into the distance and began to explain to me.

"Our Yu family from the Ming Dynasty began to dig graves for the business, until your grandfather's generation, only slowly changed careers, started a business, but has been sluggish, the Qing Dynasty at the end of the family has been poor jingling, at that time just when the war broke out, the economic depression, your grandfather had to start digging graves again, reselling cultural relics and antiques to foreigners, the family gradually got better."

"Your grandfather inherited the mantle of your grandfather, and since he was a child, he has been visiting the tomb with his grandfather, and by the time I was born, our Yu family was already a wealthy family."

"The reason why you were able to gain a firm foothold in that turbulent era so quickly is that in addition to your grandfather's courage and carefulness, on the other hand, it is thanks to the help of the Song family."

"The Song family? Just Song Qianxue's family? ”

I was slightly stunned when I listened, and my father nodded.

"That's right, it's their Song family, your grandfather made friends with the ancestors of the Song family back then, and partnered with them to dig graves, I also listened to your grandfather, it is rumored that the Song family was very rich back then, and provided a lot of financial help to grandpa Tai, our Yu family is responsible for the inverted bucket, and the Song family is responsible for surveying the location of the tomb and selling the stolen goods, and when your grandfather comes out of the mountain, it still maintains a cooperative relationship."

"Then why did you break up? I see that you and the third master treat the Song family, not like partners who have worked together for decades? ”

I asked, and my father's eyes couldn't help but deepen.

"It's not so much a breakup as a complete breakup."

"Why?"

Dad was silent for a few seconds, then said:

"The ancestor of the Song family was born as a Taoist priest, and the ancestors of the Song family have studied the art for generations, but when it was passed on to Song Changping, the current head of the Song family, the nature completely changed."

"Is it the Song master that Song Qianxue heard before?"

"That's right, it's him, now he should be in his sixties, I used to work with your grandfather, I have seen him, I heard your grandfather say, Song Changping liked to study secret methods when he was young, obsessed with ghosts and gods, he used secret techniques to control dead corpses and even undead, so that they could be used by him, so as to make huge profits."

"It is also because of this that Song Changping used the corpses and undead under his control to find your mother's tomb back then."

I was shocked, "Is that the tomb that grandpa picked up and brought back my mother?" ”

Dad nodded, "That's right, it's that tomb, Song Changping personally asked your master to fight, saying that this tomb is rare to see in a hundred years, it is a big tomb, I was still young, and I didn't fight with your father." ”

"I remember very clearly, it was the winter of 1973, your father brought more than a dozen Yu family disciples to the tomb, but there was a revolution back then, your father was reported by the locals, and they were surrounded in the tomb by the locals, after the conflict, the local people blew up the exit, and your father and more than a dozen Yu family disciples were all buried alive in the tomb."

"And then?"

I couldn't help but get nervous, and my dad motioned for me to be quiet.

"Your lord and they were completely cut off after they were buried alive, the Song family spent a lot of money to settle this matter, the incident was suppressed, but the tomb was also seized, many people said that your lord and they would definitely die, but just over a month later, your lord suddenly came back, but only three of the dozen disciples came back, and the rest all died."

"Is it that grandpa picked up mom at that time?"

I couldn't help but ask, and my father's eyes couldn't help but soften a little when he said this.

"Yes, it was at that time that your grandfather brought back your mother, when your mother was still a little baby, and your grandmother liked it very much, because I was the only boy in the family at that time, and your grandmother decided to take her as a goddaughter, and named her Yu Hanjing."

My heart couldn't help jumping, I grew so big, and for the first time I knew that my mother's name was Yu Hanjing.

"Your grandfather only told me that Hanjing was picked up in the tomb, and as for why a baby girl appeared in the tomb, your father didn't tell me."

"At first I thought your father was fooling me, how could a little girl live so long in the tomb? It wasn't until later that I learned that Hanjing was not an ordinary person. “

Dad stared at his mother in the coffin, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Hanjing, she is not like an ordinary child, she has a flower behind her, as she grows older, the flower on the other side is also growing, when your father brought it back, Hanjing still didn't open her eyes, I thought she was too young, but after five or six months, Hanjing still won't open her eyes, we once thought Hanjing was blind, but when Hanjing was five years old, she suddenly opened her eyes."

"Is there anything strange about that?"

I've also heard that some children only speak at the age of four or five, and I can't help but be curious, but my father frowns slightly.

"We are naturally happy that Hanjing can see the light, but Hanjing's eyes are different from ours."

"What's the difference?"

I couldn't help but look into my mother's eyes, no different from us, huh?

My father gently stroked my mother's face and said to me:

"Hanjing's left eye is a human pupil, while her right eye is a snake pupil."

“…… Snake pupils?! ”

I was shocked, and Si Yin's snake pupils suddenly appeared in my mind, and I couldn't help but shudder.

"How can ordinary people have snake eyes? At that time, I began to believe what your master said, and as Hanjing grew up, the snake pupil of her right eye could see dirty things that ordinary people couldn't see, dead souls, ghosts, and even the evil qi before death. ”

When Dad said this, his eyes couldn't help but be cold.

"But all this was targeted by the Song family."

"The last incident caused the Song family to lose a lot of money, in order not to arouse suspicion, the Song family did not contact our family for several years, until the aftermath of the revolution gradually subsided, and the Song family found your father again."

"Song Changping personally visited the door to apologize, and asked if your father found it in the tomb back then, your father naturally won't say, only that it was an ordinary tomb, and there was nothing valuable, but Song Changping was quite scheming, and he was kind on the surface, but secretly sent someone to secretly investigate, and naturally investigated your mother Hanjing."

"Is Song Changping suspicious of his mother?"

"How can I not be suspicious, I still remember his expression when he first saw Hanjing, as if a vicious wolf saw food, that kind of eager greed and undisguised desire, which frightened your father, since then, your father began to embankment the Song family, but Song Changping is insidious, and he will never give up until he reaches his goal, and he once openly quarreled with your father, saying that Hanjing is an evil thing, and insisted on taking it away, saying that it was a pity to let his research go to the next level, your father naturally will not agree, Song Changping is not good, so he secretly prepared to take Hanjing away, Fortunately, your master is careful and has already made fortifications, otherwise Hanjing will be snatched away by the Song family, and I don't know what will become. ”

"Since then, the relationship between our Yu family and the Song family has gradually collapsed, and it was not until Hanjing was fifteen years old that Song Changping killed your father that it was completely broken."

I was shocked, "Song Changping killed my grandfather? ”

Dad said this and slammed his fist on the coffin, looking angry.

"Song Changping is terrible, for more than ten years, he has not given up trying to snatch Hanjing, your father fell into Song Changping's trap and died in order to protect your mother, since then, our Yu family is inseparable from the Song family, but at that time, the power of our Yu family is not comparable to the Song family, the Song family has a big business, and our Yu family has gradually declined, your grandmother is afraid that Song Changping will continue to entangle, so she has to move the family, and she has changed several places in a few years, and in the end, she has to live incognito and live here."

I was silent for a long time, chewing on my father's words.

"However, it was still found by the Song family."

I now finally understand why the third master was so angry that day.
