"No one knows how he got in there."

"This matter is too bizarre. After discussing it with the two elders, I announced to the public that my father had done something wrong and expelled our branch from the family tree."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was also a little surprised.

He never expected that what he had heard before was actually deliberately arranged by Gu Youmin. What was his purpose in doing this?

Noticing Jiang Chen's questioning look, Gu Youmin didn't dare to keep it a secret: "For Xiaoya."

"Because my mother also said something that night, the person who will bear the calamity in the next generation will be Xiaoya."

"At first I thought he was just getting old and talking nonsense, but as Xiaoya grew older, several things happened one after another. When he was ten, he fell on the ground for no apparent reason and broke his head. When he was twelve, he ran out alone and fell into a well, almost drowning. When he was fourteen..."

"She almost died several times."

"I consulted an expert, and he said that Xiaoya is destined to be a traitor to her clan. The only way to survive is to be expelled from the family."

"So I found an old friend and staged a play. Given her unyielding personality, she left for ten years. Fortunately, she didn't get into any trouble during those ten years."

Having said that, Gu Youmin sighed.

"I thought the matter was over, but two months ago, the two old men in the village died. Before they died, they found me and said the same thing my parents did all those years ago. They said that the time had come and if Xiaoya was not allowed to face the calamity at the ancestral tomb, something terrible would happen to the Gu family."

"I don't believe this, so I brought a group of people with me, under the pretext of moving my relatives' graves, to dig up that place and see what kind of evil things are there!"

"As a result, something strange happened on our way up the mountain. Someone shouted the words 'Headless Woman' and jumped off the cliff like a madman."

“We just had to run down.”

"Xiaoya should have told you about what happened next."

Jiang Chen's expression was also very uneasy after hearing this. Even if he had a strong logical ability, he would not have guessed that this was the truth before.

It was not the willfulness of the old man Gu Youmin that led to the disaster.

This is a story about a mother who is caught in a dilemma in order to protect her daughter.

On the one hand, there are unfounded strange things and curses.

On the one hand, he buried his daughter alive.

You can't blame Gu Youmin for being selfish. He sacrificed the lives of so many members of the Gu family for his daughter. After all, no matter who it was, they probably wouldn't be able to make the same choice.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and then asked, "Did your mother ever tell you anything else?"

"No, he didn't seem to know anything. It was only when he was about to die that he suddenly understood some things." Gu Youmin shook his head.

"But he left two things behind."

As he said that, he ran to the side room, opened a safe, and took out a black bag.

He took out an ancient book with two corners missing. It looked very old, the paper was yellowed and gave off a strong musty smell.

There was also a bone object, as big as an adult man's forearm, about a foot long, square, pointed at the bottom and wide at the top, a bit like an oversized square nail.

Just using bones to make nails is too weird.

Jiang Chen saw that this thing was also broken, with a horrible crack on it, as if it had suffered some kind of injury.

“This thing…”

He reached out and took the two items, trying to recite them silently.

"Strong."

"Ding, do you want to consume 100 ghost energy to strengthen the "Kuidou Seven Stars Secret Technique" (damage)? The strengthening process will repair damaged items, but more ghost energy will be consumed."

"Ding, do you want to consume 30,000 ghost energy to strengthen the drought bone pile (damage)?"
