step by step

What he said was clear and his eyes were calm, unlike ordinary liars who stumbled and evaded.Xingkong froze for a moment, lost in thought.For a while, the blood in the eyes faded a lot.

Back then, the reform of the Judiciary Hall to the Law Enforcement Team caused a stir among the clan. Even though the newcomers didn’t know much about it in the past two years, there are still many old people who have lived here for more than ten years. Naturally, they still remember that incident. .

Su Ke continued: "The law enforcement team is reading the heart, and it is an independent organization. Neither the elders' pavilion nor other forces in the clan can interfere with any decision of the law enforcement team. From the establishment of the law enforcement team to the present, the names and portraits of all members have been kept. If there are records, they can be found in Zangshuge.

Moreover, although the members of our law enforcement team will hold big competitions every three years, and some of them will rotate, but every time the members rotate, there will be files kept.Whether it's a current member, or a member who left the law enforcement team for any other reason, there are records.I can take you there right now to see if there is a face you are familiar with? "

Xingkong frowned tightly, and after a long while, he said coldly: "Take me to see." How firm his will is, even if the fact that he has believed for more than ten years is suddenly overturned, he still hesitates for a moment.Now that he is standing here, he is confident that under his control, no one can get out of his sight and replace those files in advance.

Of course, it is also possible that those people were just pawns for reading minds, and they never even had records.But he doesn't mind, the more lies, the more lies to make up.Now that there are loopholes in the matter, no matter what the facts are, he is naturally capable of following the clues to find out the truth.Although he is not afraid of reading his heart, he also doesn't want to be fooled by others.

Su Ke said: "Okay!"

Immediately, he took the lead and led the way. As he said, none of the elders, including the patriarch, refuted his decision.Xingkong turned his head, his eyes swept over everyone in the field one by one, his eyes were as cold as a sharp edge, as if he wanted to imprint everyone's faces in his heart.Feel free to tear it apart if necessary.He snorted coldly, his tone couldn't tell whether it was hatred or anger, and then he followed Su Ke's footsteps.

The elders comforted the frightened clansmen, while Kong Zhu watched coldly from the sidelines, always feeling that something was wrong.In his own territory, being forced to such an extent by an outsider, the patriarch didn't seem to be disobedient; although the elders looked puzzled, they didn't intend to stop the patriarch; Su Ke's subordinates looked at their backs and wanted to speak He stopped, looked at each other, but obeyed the commander's order, and did not catch up; that Su Ke looked at the patriarch before leaving, no matter how he looked at it, Kong Zhu felt that there was something deep in it.

"Do you think I'm a bit too afraid of him?" the patriarch laughed.

Kong Zhu glanced at the vertical and horizontal wrinkles on his face, turned a blind eye and said, "It has nothing to do with me."

The patriarch didn't care about her indifference, and explained to her with great interest: "Ordinary masters naturally don't know the mind-reading pulse, and those who know the mind-reading pulse, and those hidden clans don't have the same experience as my clan." They overlap. So you must have a good idea of ​​his origin."

Kong Zhu pondered for a moment, and said with certainty: "The divination line."

The patriarch stroked his gray beard in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's from the lineage of divination. In terms of identity, it has a lot to do with Shi Sang. Xingkong's father is very talented. Before he left the clan, he was a The patriarch of the next generation recognized by the clan. It's just that he was willing to degenerate and made the same decision as your mother. After going away for more than ten years and not returning, this title fell to Shi Sang's head.",

Kong Zhu couldn't help frowning, and said coldly: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Don't you understand?" The patriarch suddenly turned his head, and Kong Zhu followed his line of sight.In the chaotic crowd below, a woman in a purple robe appeared at some point, watching the back of Xingkong and others leaving from afar.Half of her body was covered by the crowd, and her eyes were slightly lowered, reflecting the dimness of her expression.

"□□, when encountering a storm, it will turn into a dragon." The patriarch shook his head, the corners of his lips slightly curved, and his smile was filled with unspeakable bitterness.He glanced at Kong Zhu and sighed: "What a pity, what a pity." He didn't know what he was referring to.

In vain, he was called a behemoth by the world, but his heirs were not prosperous, and even the power he held was gradually taken over by the wolves of the side line.If that ancestor had knowledge in heaven, would he have mercy on their descendants?Can you have pity on the miserable situation of these descendants?

"What do you think he was thinking at the time?" the patriarch asked puzzled.This question has been bothering him since he learned about that period of history.More than ten years have passed, and it is difficult to sleep and eat day and night.With eyes open and eyes closed, they are all the children he personally sent away. They are obviously high-spirited teenagers, but they are forced to hide behind another person in their most brilliant years. Since then, no matter what they do, there is another person. Awareness, even possible interference, no more privacy, restrained everywhere, painful for a lifetime.

He said: "Genealogy records show that he is an extremely intelligent person. Could it be that he couldn't have imagined the consequences of his actions? Couldn't he have imagined that his descendants would pay a heavy price for this?"

Kong Zhu stood silently, while the slightly chilly autumn wind raged on the top of the mountain, swept past the crowd, and hit her with a howl.She felt an unspeakable coldness, and couldn't help tightening her collar.

"What happens if you break the curse...?" she asked.The voice was torn by the cold wind, and the cold voice was distorted into a strange tone.

As soon as the words came out, Kong Zhu was stunned.She was a little confused, obviously she didn't care about these at all, but why did she ask?

The patriarch smiled, unlike the dimness just now, at this moment, his expression was almost cold.He didn't answer her question immediately, but asked leisurely: "In front of the clan ancestral hall, there is a forest of lost traces, have you noticed it?"

Kong Zhu nodded. Although she was only taken to the clan ancestral hall yesterday, the large stretch of twisted trees and the naturally generated psychedelic formation still left a deep impression on her.

"—Don't you think that twisted tree looks like someone who was tortured to death?"

"—Don't you think that twisted tree looks like someone who was tortured to death?"

Kong Zhu almost thought he had heard wrong.She suddenly turned to look at the patriarch.An unknown light flashed quickly in her eyes, even she couldn't control the surging emotions in her heart at this moment.

Those twisted to the extreme, the branches that almost entwine the whole body of the tree, the pattern that resembles a crying human face, the wide-open painful lips, and the parasitic weed that broke out from the inside of the body.The shockingly realistic expression made all the passers-by dare not look up at all, feeling cold all over their bodies.More importantly, there are thousands of trees!Thousands of trees!One must know that even now, the number of direct lineages in the Hanchuan Peak definitely does not exceed 500.

"Is it true?" Kong Zhu couldn't help asking.

Seeing the patriarch's heavy nod, Kong Zhu took a deep breath, even though he was as indifferent to the reading of the mind as she was, he couldn't help silently greeting the damned ancestor in his heart.What is the priority of the dead, what is the priority of filial piety? Now she just wants to dig his ancestral grave!Drag him out and flog his corpse!

With such an ancestor, it's no wonder that his descendants always think about righteousness and extermination of relatives!

"Since she chose you, the curse has already taken effect. If you want to violate it, you will be punished by the curse."
