Supreme pardon

The reason why grandma's health became so poor has a lot to do with the early death of my uncle.

Before that, he had never doubted or thought about the premature death of the guardians of the past generations, but now... Seeing grandma's painful expression, Bai Tan clenched his lower lip and asked another confused question, "Why didn't you tell me until today?" ?”

Is there any other purpose in choosing to wake up at this time?

"Tan Tan, I thought I would wake up to spend your 25th birthday with you." Jiang Qiwei's eyes were complicated.

Bai Tan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to apologize, "I'm sorry grandma, I'm too capricious."

Where were you on your 25th birthday?I'm living on the earth, so it's no wonder that no one can tell me all this, but it's been so many years since I returned to the interstellar world, why hasn't my father mentioned it yet?

"Did you live well during those years on Earth?" Jiang Qiwei wanted to blame her, but she couldn't bear it after not seeing her grandson for so many years.

"Grandma." With red eyes, Bai Tan wanted to cry when he heard this concern.After returning to Interstellar for so long, this is the first time he heard such gentle concern. Although indifference is also worried about himself, but when we meet, he complains and annoys more. No one has calmed down yet, asking himself carefully... How were you in those years?

Purely, not to inquire about anything, not just concerned about the result that I have returned safely, but to ask with a feeling of pity for myself, whether those years were difficult.

Bai Tan is not surprised that grandma would know that he had run away from home, after a little sober, grandma must have a general understanding of the big and small things that happened in the past twenty years.

Sniffing, he lowered his head and shook his head complicatedly.

Forcing himself to calm down, Bai Tan sorted out his messy thoughts, so grandma was going to wake up before her 25th birthday and surprise herself at the birthday dinner, and at the same time told herself these words today, but unfortunately everything was disrupted .

Regardless of why this timing was chosen, let's talk about the terrible conjecture in my heart, if it is true...why did all the guardians of the past choose to give up?

Give up the struggle and give up on yourself.Could it be, just for that rigid protection?

Because of the impact of this conjecture, Bai Tan couldn't stop the trembling of his body.

After fear comes anger, and after the anger dissipates a little bit, there is a breakdown.

If it's Wenren Jue, if Jue is here... Bai Tan pinched his thigh hard, gritted his teeth and warned himself to calm down.

If Wen Renjue faced these things here, what would he do?

Trying to regard himself as a mantra, Bai Tan's breathing gradually calmed down.

"Grandma..." His voice was hoarse, but it was louder than before, "I have a question."

"Yeah." With a look of relief, Jiang Qiwei never thought that the thin child next to him could recover his composure in a short period of time. She imagined that Bai Tan's reaction after knowing the inside story might go crazy, or he might be so frightened that he would lose his mind. self.

However, unexpectedly, Bai Tan quickly regained his calm and clear thinking.

"Do all previous guardians know this?" Knowing everything I know now.

"No." Jiang Qiwei said with a heavy tone, "The previous guardians only know that they hold the straw."

"What do you mean?" Bai Tan was puzzled.

"They are only told that if the Bai family encounters a catastrophe, they can use the key in their hands to reverse the situation."

"The key..." Bai Tan muttered, raised his head and said, "I've never seen the key you mentioned before."

"It was supposed to be given to you by your father on your 25th birthday and tell you the function of the key." Jiang Qiwei said with a frown, "But your father hasn't given it to you for some reason."

That's one of the reasons she had to wake up.

Bai Tan's brows were knotted, not because he wanted to get the key, but because the guess in his heart became more realistic and made him shiver.

I feel cold from the depths of my soul.

So... It's not that the previous guardians didn't know how to resist, but that they didn't know how much energy they possessed.

After all, if they were only told about those circumstances, who would try to use the key until the Bai family came to a desperate situation?The sad thing is that the crime of being pregnant is so muddled, and every guardian has somehow become a thorn in the side of his brothers.

From another perspective, Bai Tan imagined that if he hadn't run away from home and was told these things on his 25th birthday, he was afraid that he would not pay attention to the key at all, and would only feel that the so-called power that could turn the world around was just a virtual belief like the holy tree , so that the descendants of the Bai family will not despair at any time, just like a person who walks with an empty bottle in the desert, thinking that he has water in his chest, so he can persevere.

Grandma's previous stop was to prevent myself from being suspicious of my ancestors, because it was disrespectful, but what about uncle?What about the most beloved child of the old man beside him?

If... no, Bai Tan didn't dare to think about it anymore, but would running away solve the problem?

Kneeling straight, he faced the old man's position and said firmly: "Please tell me everything you know, no matter how cruel the truth is, I can accept it."

"My dear grandson." Jiang Qiwei knelt down and embraced him again, "The reason why grandma held her breath is to end all of this."

"So..." His body was still trembling, Bai Tan said with difficulty: "Is it true?"

The guardians before him all encountered misfortune, and those misfortunes all came from the closest relatives.

"The head of the family is selected from the direct line, and there is also competition among brothers."

Like now, as Bai Feng and Bai Chen grow older, the atmosphere becomes more and more weird and tense.

"So once the shadow Bai family is known to exist by those in power, they will not rest assured that it will fall into the hands of their own brothers. Even if their brothers don't know anything, as long as he holds the key, as long as he has the only command Shadow The qualifications of the Bai family can't really make people feel at ease."

"So..." Bai Tan is not stupid, being held in the arms of the old man, he has more courage, "If you must have a guardian, a brother is not as reassuring as a son, right, grandma."

"Yeah...it's better for my son to be reassuring." Apart from the closer blood relationship and younger age, his son can be taught by himself, and he knows how much ability he has with patience.

How ridiculous!

Bai Tan raised the corners of his mouth but couldn't make a laugh, the fear in his eyes faded away, leaving only deep sorrow.

"Why, these patriarchs don't just take back their shadows?"

Since you are so worried, why bother to pass the tragedy down from generation to generation!When I step down as the Patriarch and leave this world, the person who succeeds the Patriarch will kill his brother. All the patriarchs in power can think of this, don't they feel distressed?

What's wrong with the son who is the guardian?What crime?

"Rules." Jiang Qiwei's voice revealed hatred, "Because the Shadow Bai family only obeys the guardian."

"Grandma, you said that the village head is responsible for supervising the inheritance."

"Yes."

"But why, I'm already over 25 years old..." Bai Tan had a little extravagant thought, that is, his father didn't tell himself all this for a long time not only because he escaped the age of 25, but also because he couldn't bear to change .

However, when Bai Tan calmed down, he understood what was more important to his father.Only the family is the only one, as long as the strength of the family can be guaranteed, what's the point of sacrificing one's own self?

"Although there have been rules from the first generation that the shadow and the Bai family are not allowed to be connected, but because of the existence of the guardian, they have not been completely separated, but after the eighth guardian, the shadow and the Bai family have created a gap. Those who don’t want to interfere with the guardians will choose, as if they have disappeared.” After a pause, Jiang Qiwei continued: “But in order to ensure that the shadow can be successfully activated in the event of annihilation in the future, the guardians must continue to pass on no matter what. "

If there is no guardian, the shadow will really disappear.

It is useless for only the head of the family to know this secret. The only person who can open the "key" must have the status of a guardian. Therefore, from generation to generation, each head of the family can only choose to continue, even if he will "sacrifice" a son for it , but for these people in authority, another son who inherited the family is obviously more important.

Even... In order not to cause too much trouble and threat to future successors, the Bai family's training and teaching methods for guardians have always been subtle.

The rules are the invisible chains, which completely turn the delicate people who cannot land into waste.

With this kind of thinking, there has never been a strong guardian among the previous guardians. These guardians who are simple, arrogant or cowardly and naive have become an alternative to the "wolves".

This is a real tragedy, and Bai Tan finally understands why the kind old man who loves his uncle in every possible way is so indifferent when facing his father.

No matter which mother is standing here, facing another son who killed her own son, where can she be warm?

In addition to feeling sorry for the fate of those guardians, Bai Tan also felt sorry for the old man who embraced him.

How cruel it is for a mother!

And these secrets that I should never let myself know, my grandma told me all of them, Bai Tan believed that apart from loving me, there must be uncle's reasons for this.

If the lovers who created the Bai family saw what happened to their descendants in the past thousand years, would they be angry and come back to life?In this kind of situation, Bai Tan didn't expect that he would be able to think about these things...but very quickly, because it was too painful, he stretched out his hands and hugged his head.

Bai Tan couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't figure it out, why... the protection set up thousands of years ago has now become a curse for killing people.

Can that well-intentioned ancestor predict it?

No... In the midst of grief, Bai Tan suddenly thought of another person, a person who logically should never know this.

Qi Di!This man once talked to him about the former guardian of the Bai family for no reason, and arrogantly let him follow him.

"Do you want to live? Follow me." At that time, I only felt that the nonsense was extremely ridiculous, but now... Bai Tan suddenly became confused.
