"The number of these fruits represents how many living people were sacrificed to that tree, so over the years, my great-grandfather did not fall once, and he secretly sent people to find people to sacrifice on the eighth birthday of August according to the method explained by Husin.

Among these people, some of them are cheap, and they will be sent to death voluntarily after giving some settling-in expenses, and some are secretly tied into the old house and devoured by strange trees, although human life is not worth much in that era, but this is still hurtful to nature, so even if it is a sacrifice to the living to nourish the Fang family, it still makes the descendants suffer from cause and effect.

In less than a few years, there were not many descendants left of the Fang family.

Seeing that the Fang family's heirs were not prosperous but decreasing, his great-grandfather was also anxious, not because his conscience found out, but because there were no heirs, there was no one to borrow his life.

Great-grandfather suddenly felt that he might have been deceived, because at this rate, his life span would not be extended for 50 years, and there would be no children and grandchildren, who would continue his life.

So he hurriedly sent someone to Nanyang to find Hu Xin, wanting to find out, but what he didn't expect was that this Hu Xin died a year ago while fighting with a certain head descending master.

The great-grandfather was anxious for a while, and he looked for a master, but the people who invited him were helpless.

It was during this period that my great-grandfather was suddenly trampled on the head by a startled horse, and he died.

As soon as my great-grandfather died, my grandfather became the head of the Fang family, and at this time, he learned the secret.

Grandfather was at first incredulous and shocked, but when he recalled his past performances and went to the big house to see the strange tree, he realized that it was all true.

He couldn't imagine that his father would do such a crazy thing, and as soon as he thought that the bad luck would affect his children and grandchildren, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately sent people everywhere to find a master to crack it.

In the end, I finally found a master surnamed Ma, but this master had no choice, and told my grandfather a tragic truth, that is, the method used by Hu Xin, a native of Nanyang, was actually a kind of descenting technique that harmed others and oneself from the Chinese Sect."

"Smack~" The fourth tape was played, and Qin Ding put the fifth tape in.

"I'd better call you back."

"Leave me alone, you can continue."

"Okay. Where did you just go?"

"Say that the Nanyangs use the technique of descending."

"Oh, yes. This kind of descending technique is to lead to the life of a blood relative, in order to achieve a certain purpose, in short, it is very difficult to crack, even if the person who borrowed Yang Shou to continue his life died halfway, it only slowed down the time, and the descendants will still be affected, and only by continuing to sacrifice the living can we temporarily ensure peace.

Grandfather was extremely opposed to this, but in the end, he had no other choice, for the sake of the descendants of the Fang family, so he also accepted his fate, and like his great-grandfather, he began to harm people with a clear conscience.

Despite this, the Fang family was still not prosperous, and in the end, only our family and two uncles and grandfathers were left, and the uncles and grandfathers were all half-brothers.

Later, my two uncles and grandfathers died one after another, and their sons were long gone, leaving only my cousin and my younger cousin.

A few years later, my grandfather became terminally ill and told my father the secret of the Fang family.

As for my father, he was sent to study abroad early, and it was difficult to accept this kind of thing from the ideological point of view, and some of the things that happened in the family were known to him when he was a child, and some of them were not particularly clear when he grew up abroad, so he couldn't believe this fact.

Even if my father accepted this reality later, he could let him sacrifice the living to continue the life of the Fang family's descendants, he really couldn't do it.

Although my grandfather said the stakes again, my father still couldn't do it, he didn't want to continue this kind of mistake, he also thought that even if the living people were sacrificed, the Fang family would not be any better, and this kind of harmful thing would inevitably be revolted to the children and grandchildren, maybe the Fang family Ding Buwang was also the reason.

Grandfather actually understood this truth, and he didn't force it anymore, so he just went.

After taking care of my grandfather's funeral, my father took over the property, and soon after, he moved us to Hong Kong.

In the years after our family moved to Hong Kong, the old house was always taken care of by the old housekeeper.

In those years, except for my father's poor health, my cousins and I were still safe and healthy, so my father felt more and more that my ancestors were used by bad people to do such ignorant and ridiculous things as sacrificing the living, which is really deplorable, and we have left the old mansion all these years without doing such heinous things, and we are all safe and sound, which shows that it is all nonsense.

At the beginning of that year, news came from the old mansion that the old housekeeper had died, and the old housekeeper had given my father a letter saying that he should read it.

I remember very well that my father's hands were shaking after reading the letter, and he threw it aside.

Later I learned that the old butler had advised my father to sacrifice to the living.

It turned out that after we moved to Hong Kong, the old housekeeper secretly carried out my grandfather's order, and every year he would take a person born on August 8 to the big house.

In his letter, he said that the reason why we have been safe and smooth and prosperous in recent years is because he has not stopped sacrificing living people, otherwise, the Fang family would have been gone a long time ago.

He also advised his father that although it was a matter of time before the Fang family would die, he must go to the sacrifice of the living on time, otherwise the bad things would soon come true.

Then he used another angle to persuade his father, which meant that the sacrifice of the living person would delay the time first, and during this period, he would try to find a master to solve it.

It's not that my father doesn't listen to these words, but because he can't and won't do it. A few days after reading the letter, he contacted the auction house to prepare to sell the old house, but before he could entrust it, he had a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital.

My mother actually knew about it, so when my father got sick, she was a little uneasy.

My mother tried to persuade my father, but my father insisted on his idea, saying that our Fang family had already made too many mistakes and could not make mistakes again and again.

That night, my father dreamed of the old house, of the tree, and of ...... The scene where he pounds something in a stone mortar.

He probably had a premonition, and he called me to his bedside and told me the whole thing.

I was as shocked as my father was when he heard my grandfather say it, but I was more scared and helpless.

My father told me that the reason why he let me know was to let me see something clearly, those Fang family members who were selfish for their own selfish purposes were murderers, and he didn't want his only son to become a murderer too.

Anyway, the Fang family will cut off their children and grandchildren in the end, why continue to harm others, he doesn't want the last descendants of the Fang family to bear the sin of murder.

I understood my father and agreed with him, but I was also deeply afraid of my future.

I couldn't sleep in those days, I always felt that bad luck would come at any time, and I wavered to trade someone else's life, but this thought made me even more tormented, and I felt that I couldn't sit still like this anymore.

So I went to my father to discuss it, and I wanted to spend a lot of money to find someone who could solve this problem. My father didn't oppose or support it, he was actually very afraid that I would fall into it and go crazy for it, and finally follow in the footsteps of those people, but there was no good way to solve this matter, so I could only find someone to crack it.

Just when I was busy looking for the master, suddenly came the bad news, my father was fine, but suddenly shouted a few times at home, "Come, come", and then fainted, never woke up again.

My father's death hit me hard and made me very angry. His anomaly before he left was enough to prove that he was affected by something unseen, and this was a curse.

However, there is nothing wrong with us about why we have such a tragic end, why we should bear such consequences for the desires and mistakes of our ancestors, and why we let a tree dictate life.

I am unwilling, I hate, so I will not compromise even if I die, but what I never expected was that this cursed fate would soon befall my cousin.

She was diagnosed with a terminal illness at such a young age, and I thought that if I didn't find someone to crack it, it would be my turn soon.

There are only three of our heirs left in our Fang family, and our great-grandfather also got his wish, and finally the Fang family is about to lose their children and grandchildren.

I didn't tell my cousin the secret, I didn't want to

Let her know that her fate was cursed and unjust, so I decided to hide it first.

But while I was busy looking for the master, my cousin disappeared.

After nearly a year of inconclusive investigations, I had to blame my cousin's unexpected disappearance on the curse.

I insisted on continuing to search for the master, but what I didn't expect was that I accidentally found a clue about my cousin's disappearance.

It turned out that before my cousin disappeared, my cousin had told him about returning to his old house in the mainland.

At that time, I suddenly felt that something was not quite right, and when I thought about it, I actually found that I had not paid any attention to the changes in my cousin in the past year and a half.

It stands to reason that she is terminally ill, but when I went to see her, I did not feel weak or sick in her at all, but her mental and physical condition was very good.

At that time, I thought that the medical level was high and her condition was under control, and I was still a little happy.

But when I learned that she had mentioned the old mansion to her cousin, I suddenly felt uneasy in my heart, and even a little scared to think about it.

In the past year and a half, except for the disappearance of my cousin, it seems that my cousin and I have nothing to do, so I suspect that someone has gone to sacrifice the living, but who will it be?

I thought of my cousin, and I thought of my cousin, but I rejected it again, because I kept my mouth shut about them, how could they know, how could they possibly do this.

Although I did not believe that this would be the case, my keen intuition struck me, and I had a strong premonition that it was no coincidence that my cousin had suddenly disappeared and that my cousin had mentioned the old mansion.

So while continuing to look for the master, I secretly investigated my cousin, and finally found some clues.

It turned out that my cousin carried me behind my back and took my cousin to the old mansion.

Why did they go to the old house, why did the cousin disappear, why did the cousin stay stable and radiant after that.

I really don't dare to think about it anymore."

"Smack~" Qin Ding turned over again.

"Mr. Fang, is your cousin's eighth birthday?"

"Yes, his birthday is the eighth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. Alas, if it weren't for this birthday, I wouldn't believe my cousin would sacrifice my brother. Huh, I really don't know if our Fang family is cursed, or if there is this vicious gene in the blood.

Shocked, angry, and heartbroken, I went to my cousin.

She actually pretended to be pitiful and begged me for forgiveness, saying that she didn't mean it.

If she didn't mean to, why did she bring her cousin on August 8 with her?

She had known about it for a long time, and she was right outside the door when my father told me the secret.

She said that she originally wanted to work with me to find someone to change her fate, but she suddenly fell ill with cancer. She wasn't reconciled, she was scared, she was going through a painful struggle, and she couldn't wait.

However, for the sake of herself, for the sake of fruitless results, she actually sacrificed her only brother."
