Jinyun Lan's admission to the Guild caused an uproar within the clan, and the head of the Elder, who was the head of the Twelve Elders, expressed his opposition. He has always disliked Jinyunlan, and he has blamed her behavior a lot in the past. He thinks she is rude and presumptuous, playful and fun-loving, without any responsibility and responsibility. The council is required to deal with the affairs of a city. It was a matter of the people, and no one could hold a position unless they were serious and conscientious, and it was clear that with the reputation she had spread before, no one could be convinced that her joining would be beneficial to the development of the clan.

The patriarch respected him as his own brother and always attached great importance to his suggestions. What's more, it is rare for the central opinion to be so unanimous this time, although he wants to fight for his daughter's rights, he also has to consider their opinions.

In the end, both sides took a step back and allowed Jinyunlan to join the clan association, but only let her stay at the grassroots level, take charge of some inconsequential cases, and keep her out of contact with major matters for the time being.

The patriarch thought about it and felt that it was appropriate, so he sent her to the Elder Support Association to take care of the lonely and widowed old people in Los Angeles, hoping that she would earn a good reputation.

Jinyunlan originally thought that this was just a leisurely work to chat with the lonely old man and eat melon seeds, grind time and watch the day. Who knew that the situation was completely different from what she expected!

She was treated as a free laborer. Every time they entered a house, they had to do laundry, cook, clean the house, and even help their grandchildren with their bad homework.

Although Jinyunlan is not a hypocritical girl, she is willing to do it when she rolls up her sleeves. But in the final analysis, she is also the daughter of a big family, where has she done these rough jobs. It's just that, it's not difficult to learn now, but this cooking is by no means a day's work, when she blocked the stoves in three families for three consecutive days, and was swept out of the house with a broom, she really didn't have much confidence. Leaky night rushed to Zhuzhu's house, complaining to her with tears in his eyes.

"Zhuzhu, I'm too hard." She tilted her head and drank a glass of sake.

Zhuzhu laughed breathlessly on the other side, shaking the brush in her hand to drip a few drops of ink, staining her newly created manuscript. She didn't have time to take care of it, so she only gloated: "What are you crying about, shouldn't you be crying like those old people?" They still have to bother to get through the stove, which is really a disaster. She smiled again as she spoke, clutching her stomach and laughing bitterly.

Jin Yunlan's slightly drunken eyes stared at her very fiercely, "You bad-hearted guy can still laugh." The complaints were sent to the Elder Church. Now that the clan is criticizing me more than before, I am dying of sorrow. ”

Consummation is hilarious, and the abdominal pain and spasms do not stop. She had to pinch herself before she gradually eased her swollen smile. She coughed twice, cleared her throat, and asked, "But then again, haven't you always been uninterested in these tedious clan chores?" Why did you suddenly go to the Elder Church and be willingly sent for so many days? ”

Naturally, she wouldn't tell Zhu Zhu that she had strong doubts and incomprehensions about the origin of the grievances between Jinyun and the Li clan because of what she had encountered on the empty mountain, so she had to enter the clan association, hoping to get some clues.

It's just that now it seems that if you want to enter the high-level and let those stubborn and cautious elders trust her and know everything, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach the sky.

Even though her father is the Jinyun Patriarch and leads the whole clan, he should know everything. She didn't knock on his side, but she was immediately seen through by her quick-witted father, and replied to her sternly: "As the patriarch of the family, my father bears the safety and honor of the entire Los Angeles on his shoulders. Everything I say and do is incomparably important. Therefore, I cannot answer any of your questions about Lai. Or rather, your identity at this time is not enough for me to speak freely to you. ”

She was frustrated by her very blunt refusal to talk.

And at this moment, she can only tell Zhuzhu that she joined the club just to fulfill her father's expectations.

Recently, Zhuzhu has seen her full of sadness, sighing for a long time, and it is clear that she used to be such a carefree and carefree girl. She intuitively felt that she had something unspeakable, and she didn't have to force her to talk, but just tactfully persuaded her to relax.

She opened the back door of the bookstore, ushered her in, and picked out a few popular books for her. A period of lingering and sympathetic, nine-song sadomasochistic love and hatred were stacked high in Jinyunlan's palm, but she was not half interested.

Zhuzhu suddenly remembered that she had stopped reading love recently and switched to history books. With an idea, she took Jinyunlan through the bookshelves, came to the end, and opened a very inconspicuous small door without saying a word.

Jin Yunlan followed in confusion. She and Zhuzhu have known each other since childhood, and she has been to this bookstore more than a hundred times, but she has never noticed that there is a small door on this wall.

Zhu Zhu familiarly lit up the twenty lights on the wall one by one in the darkness.

Jinyunlan was able to see this wide panorama and she was immediately surprised, "It's so big! ”

Behind the unremarkable bookstore, there is half a keju field.

Zhu Zhu smiled: "Of course. This is Jinyun's library of books. Historical books have been stored here. Only those who have joined the clan are allowed to enter this place. ”

No wonder, this white wall has the power that flows secretly, and it seems to be surrounded by magic. I am afraid that this is not a physical place, but a space created by spiritual magic. But she really didn't expect that Jinyun's library was buried in Zhuzhu's bookstore.

Zhu Zhu took out an old book from the bookshelf on her right hand and handed it to her, "This book is all-encompassing." When I'm short on inspiration, I often use it to relieve my boredom. You see, too? ”

Jin Yunlan took it and read the words on the cover one by one by the bright light, ""Chronicles of the Four Seas"? ”

She found a chair and sat down, and read intently.

When Zhuzhu saw that she was concentrating, she was no longer in the way. It was rare that the moon had not yet risen and yawned, and the desire to fall asleep earlier tonight quietly closed the door, leaving her alone to wander through the anecdotes.

"Chronicles of the Four Seas" records various myths, various artifacts, biographies of celebrities and famous battles in ancient times, almost everything.

After Jinyunlan browsed the catalog carefully, the words "Battle of Zhuolu" caught her attention, and she immediately had a direction and turned to the designated page number.

It was written: Chi especially snatched the shallow cultivated land in the Central Plains and brought the Jiuli tribe and the Yan and Huang Emperors united tribes to fight in Zhuolu.

Chi is especially powerful, but the engine is Tianjiaolong, lifting the sword of Li greed, calling for wind and rain, which can be compared with the gods. The combined forces of the two emperors of Yan and Huang were defeated in nine battles and nine defeats, and they were defeated and retreated in three years. The two emperors worked together to slash it under the four legs of the mount, the iron-eating beast.

Since then, the Jiuli tribe has been integrated into the Yanhuang tribe. Emperor Yan and Huang issued an edict to all the clans of the world, ordering them to offer a policy of containment, and those who were adopted could become officials.

The people of the clan sacrificed the method of cruelty and imprisonment, and the rule of restraint and suppression was not allowed to anger Huang Renhou's heart. The Jinyun clan won the favor of the two emperors with pure and tolerant love. After Jiuli settled in the empty mountain of Los Angeles, Jinyun was also ordered to lead the responsibility of the Xia official, get a reward of ten thousand gold, take charge of the four seasons, and rank above all the tribes.

There is also a compiler's comment at the bottom: Xiao Jinyun, unknown nationality. A trick of Huairou, sitting on the summer. Day and night, there are thousands of glories. Sigh and respect, sing and cry.

could have been ranked among the celebrities, but because the Jinyun clan was unknown, it was temporarily between the containment battles.

After reading this, Jin Yunlan's heart couldn't help but tighten. This "Chronicles of the Four Seas" is like a key, opening the treasure chest of doubts is the root of everything, and it is urgent for her to continue to search.

She excitedly searched for unclear clues in the huge library cabinet, and a vague intuition led her to a manual called "Jinyun Discipline".

She opened it and looked at it, and the first one was: the Jinyun clan is known for curses and enchantments. Unless there are special circumstances, the clansmen are not allowed to use curses on living beings without authorization. Violators, loss of hands.

Reading this, she suddenly remembered that Li Yi had said that Jinyun had put a blood curse on the Li family. Apparently this curse is the new key. She followed this direction and found a roster deeper on the bookshelf, called "List of Blood Sacrifices".

This book is very different from the previous two, when you open it, you will see the name written in cinnabar, and even some of the strokes are elongated intentionally or unintentionally, as if it were blood. It is visible that the hair stands upside down.

Jin Yunlan suddenly felt an inexplicable coldness crawl up her spine and drill straight to the back of her head. She pressed her back against the wall for some support and leaning on.

She paused to observe the names, and soon noticed that the number of names varied on each page, but at the end the time, place, and object of the spell were named.

For example, in the spring of the third year of Yuanwu, in Chenjiazhuang, A, B, and Ding applied a plague curse to Chen San's whole family, and his hands were destroyed.

This was the case for dozens of pages after that. From this, Jin Yunlan understood one thing, after casting the spell, the spellcaster's hands would be crippled.

The price is so great! If the ignorant person uses it without authorization, it will not lead to a disaster of innocence, no wonder the Jinyun people no longer learn spells now, because of the huge risk.

Once she had grown accustomed to the horrific arrangement of names, she quickly flipped back, and suddenly noticed that the name of the caster had been written on a certain page until the end of the page, and the identity of the person who had been cursed did not appear. She flipped over suspiciously, horrified to find that the number of spellcasters was increasing.

The second page, the third page, the fourth page, and the fifth page are still not finished.

She thought to herself, what kind of pomp and circumstance could have caused hundreds of people to sacrifice their hands to cast this curse.

It wasn't until at the beginning of page six that she saw the bloody text in the true sense of the word.

…… In the empty mountain of Luocheng, he cast a blood curse on the entire Jiuli tribe, resulting in the death of all the 128th spellcasters.

One hundred and twenty-eight lives were borne by the Lai family.

Borne by Lai?!

With a "snap", the book in her hand fell to the ground, and the bright candle flame shook a few times due to the fluctuations in the air current.

The light and shadow reflected on her cheeks swayed, licking the horror and despair between her brows.
