Chapter 15 Contract Ceremony

"I've asked that kid many times, but he just didn't tell me." Su Ke also had a headache: "I've thought about it for a long time. The only time he might have seen you was probably three years ago in the palace. At that time He had just traveled to Shanghai, and when he heard that the elders of the clan had come out, he went to meet them. It seems that he followed up with the palace and attended the dinner party. If there is any knot between you two, you can untie it It’s better to untie it. After all, we may walk together for a long time in the future.”

three years ago.Palace dinner.Kong Zhuyin's hands under his sleeves were dripping with blood, but he didn't notice it.

Even without recalling, she can clearly remember what happened that day.In the past three years, for nearly a thousand days, he was haunted by nightmares every night.Vividly in my mind, it is the unbearable scene.

Is it because you saw those?Kong Zhu lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

From a distance, they saw the Lost Forest in front of the clan ancestral hall.Su Ke stopped at the intersection and bowed respectfully towards the Lost Forest.He said lightly: "The collateral line only saw the glory of the direct line, but never knew what a painful price the direct line paid. Not to mention the many clansmen who lost their lives for thousands of years because of disobedience to the curse. They don't know, because we are prophets The family is the children of the god of prophecy. Although we have extremely high talents and noble blood, this is also our greatest sorrow. Even if there are endlessly talented and brilliant people from our direct lineage, no one can break through that threshold , to become a true god."

Kong Zhu restrained his emotions and listened quietly.These are all the secrets of reading the heart, not to mention the collateral lineage, even most of the direct lineages don't know about it.

"After my parents died, I was adopted under the name of the patriarch. The patriarch is my father. My father said, you are tolerant, calm, and steady. You don't take the initiative to cause trouble. Frankly speaking, if it weren't for this incident, no one in the clan I can notice you. But if there is a danger that threatens you, you will not hesitate to show your sharp fangs. He said that you can help us out of the predicament. I have been by his side for so many years, this is the first time I heard him treat people like this High rating. What about you? What do you think of him?"

"What about you, what do you think of the patriarch?" Su Ke asked.

However, he didn't even wait for Kong Zhu's answer, so he continued on his own: "He is indifferent and ruthless. For the sake of the clan, he can use anyone as a pawn. He is treating you well now because you are valuable. If you Without the status of the royal family, without Shi Sang's attention, your ending will not be much better than before."

He looked at Kong Zhu with burning eyes: "You think so, right?"

Kong Zhu remained silent.

"Do you know? Our former patriarch was a great man. He was wise, kind, and kind, and he managed to win thousands of miles away by strategizing. All the qualities of a good monarch can be reflected in him. He is in charge of the mind-reading pulse three In [-], the authority of the direct line rose rapidly, and the power of the collateral line was constantly suppressed. He could see very clearly that the collateral line was once a dodder flower attached to the direct line, but now, they are constantly plundering the nourishment and living space of the direct line. The idea of ​​not breaking and not standing was first proposed by him, and this is the only way for the direct line!

If he had been in power for another ten years, the threat of collateral would have been eliminated long ago.However, just after the third year ended, he passed away just the day before the clan assembly. "

Su Ke's emotions became more and more agitated, Kong Zhu sighed and felt sorry for this rare person.

"We all know that the collateral lineage did it, but we have no proof! The collateral lineage is powerful, and we dare not suppress it! How has our direct lineage ever suffered such humiliation? The humiliation that all direct lineage members can feel! At that time, the clan was in chaos , the collateral was about to move. At this moment, my father came back.

My father is the younger brother of the former patriarch. He likes to travel the mainland, recite poetry and paint.He is very talented, but he is extremely lazy in terms of cultivation.Originally, with his prestige in the clan, he should directly take over the status of elder.But his ambition was not here, and the former patriarch had no choice but to throw him out of Reading Heart Pulse.

After all, he is a member of the direct clan. Although he doesn't like the oppressive environment on the top of the cold river, he gave up his freedom for the sake of the clansmen who are still in dire straits, and the hand holding the pen took up the weapon again.He has always advocated peace, and suppressed the chaos in the clan with iron and blood.And re-draft harsh family rules, anyone who violates it, regardless of direct lineage and collateral lineage, will be punished mercilessly. "

Su Ke took a deep look at Kong Zhu: "What I want to say is that what you see is not his true nature. In fact, most of the time, he can't help himself."

"He is not the only one who can't help himself." Kong Zhu said softly.In this world, he is the only one who can't help himself?Why should she be ambitious?Because she has no ambition, and if she doesn't take that position, with her embarrassing status, she can't protect herself at all.

She had had enough of these years of humiliation.Really enough.

Both fell silent.After standing silently under these twisted trees for a moment, he walked towards the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall was already full of people, the patriarch and the elders stood at the front, and at a glance, there was no collateral.

"Please take the seat." Su Ke said seriously.

The ancestral hall has a large space, and there are not many direct descendants. They just stand at the door and leave the middle and front tablets empty.Sora stood in front of everyone.

Su Ke retreated to the patriarch, and the patriarch turned to face all the clansmen and said, "Today is another clan's contract ceremony, so today, although the ceremony is held in the ancestral hall, we don't worship the ancestors."

The holding of the contract ceremony represented that another clansman had to be bound by a curse and lost his freedom.And all of this was caused by that ancestor.Therefore, the ancestors are not sacrificed during the contract ceremony, which is a tradition established in the clan long ago.

The patriarch said: "Salute."

Except for the patriarch, all the clan members including the elders bowed to Kong Zhu in salute.The atmosphere was solemn.

Kong Zhu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the patriarch.The patriarch was also looking at her, with a faint smile on his stiff face.

The ceremony was not complicated, it was a utterly sad process.In the lost forest outside the ancestral hall, one can vaguely feel the roaring and screaming of those unyielding souls.Under the oppressive atmosphere, no one wants to stay here for a while.In this background, the only people who can come here are the direct descendants of the owners with pure blood.It's not that they don't know Kong Zhu's identity, but here, all the grievances and hatreds are not important.As Su Ke said, every clansman who devotes himself to the clan should be respected by all the clansmen who know the truth.

After offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, the original ancestor worship ceremony was cancelled, so only the most important step remained in the contract ceremony, which was to outline the contract.Shi Sang didn't appear in the ancestral hall until then.Chao Patriarch bowed slightly, and then came to the opposite of Kong Zhu.There was a faint smile on her face, as if what happened three days ago never happened at all.Kong Zhu lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, dazed.

The tribe next to them gave them sharp knives and porcelain respectively.Shi Sang picked up the dagger without hesitation, and slit his wrist.Her movements were crisp and quick, and the bright red liquid gushed out instantly, filling half the height of the porcelain in a short time.A layer of colorless light appeared on her wrist, and the three-inch wound began to heal almost instantly.Just as she lifted her eyes, her wrists became smooth again.

Kong Zhu looked at the sharp blade held in the hands of the clansman, but still did not move, his expression was in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking.Shi Sang couldn't help frowning slightly.The ceremony has already progressed to this point, even if Kong Zhu wants to get away, she will never give her a chance: "Haven't you considered it yet?"

Kong Zhu gave her a cold look.Shi Sang took a few steps forward and took the dagger on it, stuffed the dagger into her right hand, covered her hand with his own, and slowly clenched the dagger.She came close to her ear and said with a low smile, "Since you don't know how, then let me help you. I'm happy to teach you."

Her tone was extraordinarily ambiguous and pointed.However, the force in his hand was still strong, no matter how hard Kong Zhu tried, he couldn't break her grip, so he had no choice but to give up resisting, watching the dagger slowly approaching his left wrist.

"—chuck"

The sound of sharp knives cutting flesh made one's scalp tingle.Shi Sang didn't cut open along the texture of the muscles all at once, but just moved from one end of the wrist to the other end very slowly and in a daze.

The so-called long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and the pain that passes in an instant is always more refreshing than the long, almost endless pain now.Kong Zhu gritted his teeth, his heart filled with anger.She could feel her lips trembling slightly in pain.Shi Sang was angry.Why?Is it because of her?

Being angry means that you care too much, which means you have a weakness.Will a character like Susanna show her emotions because of her silent resistance?Kong Zhu almost sneered.
