C21 (2/2)
But no matter how Sun Yong tried to persuade him, Sun Lianlin was determined this time. He didn't explain the reason, which caused Sun Yong to be angry and helpless.
On the afternoon of the second day, under Sun Yong's constant urging, the procedures for their ancestral home finally came to an end. Such a fast speed was equivalent to opening a green light all the way, and this was also the result of having money and people to do things for them. From then on, besides the small portion of the ancestral home's ancestral hall, most of their properties were in Sun Lianlin's hands.
The Sun Family Ancestral House was very big, but it was already very old, after all it was seventy to eighty years old and surrounded by self-built buildings. In the light of the two, it looked even more dilapidated and dilapidated, and the chaos a few days ago had caused the old house to suffer even more, with many places being dug so many times that it could not be used to house people, and it had to be renovated using money. If they wanted to return to the state that they were in a few decades ago, who knows how much money would be spent on it.
Spending so much money yet getting a house that can't be lived in, other than getting scolded by the locals as a fool, they would also think that this old house couldn't possibly have any treasures, if not why would they spend so much money. Thus, since the moment Sun Yong and the rest entered this old house, people started paying attention to them.
However, the first thing Sun Lianlin does when he returns is open the Ancestral Hall to pray for his ancestors, which is also a rule here. If someone is absent for several years, the first thing they do when they return is burn incense to pray for their ancestors, which means to tell them who among the younger generation is back. This is to prevent the ancestors from forgetting him and treating him as an outsider.
Sun Lianlin was rich, so naturally, this time he opened the Ancestral Hall with great dignity. The elders of the Sun Family family who were about the same age as him were all invited, and then all sorts of offerings were put in order, the fireworks had not been finished for more than half an hour, and after the prayer, he invited the clansmen over to a restaurant to eat, and even gave them a red packet. This action of his immediately eliminated the hatred the Sun Family clansmen had towards them.
However, after we finished eating, Sun Lianlin took Sun Yong and I and went back to the ancestral hall, removed the pig head that was worshiped, and changed it into the Pig Slaughtering Knife.
”Xiao Yong, take this talisman off!” The Uncle told Sun Yong to take this talisman off since the beginning when there was no response.
Sun Yong did as he was told and opened the Pig Slaughtering Knife's Rune. He didn't know if it was a coincidence, but once the Rune was opened, a gust of cold wind blew into the ancestral hall.
”No, no, why does the smell of blood here sound so heavy?” But not only did the cold wind bring with it a cold, dense smell of blood, I was very familiar with this smell. In the past, when pigs were killed at home, there would be blood dripping onto the ground, and if they didn't use water to wash it off immediately, when the sun came out, the smell would be extremely unpleasant.
”Shut up, lower your voice, and just watch,” Sun Yong coldly said to me, and then let me look at the altar, and then I saw with wide eyes that the Pig Slaughtering Knife was seeping blood, drop by drop, like a water droplet covering the blade's body, causing the shiny Pig Slaughtering Knife to turn red, which, under the shine of the moonlight, seemed extremely strange.
This made me suddenly recall a detail, which was that every time I went to see Sun Chengzhi, I would drip blood on the blade, but on the second day, the blade was already lit up, there was no smell of blood, and no traces of blood could be seen. I didn't think too much about it previously, but when I thought about it now, I felt fear.
This situation continued for around three minutes. However, other than the blood stench becoming stronger, there were no other changes. Uncle passed a piece of Spiritual Talisman over to Sun Yong and told him to put it away.
Sun Yong held the Spiritual Talisman in his hand, then used the Spiritual Talisman to cover the handle of the blade, and shook it. Those beads of blood were actually all dropped down, not a single drop was left, and the blade returned to its bright and beautiful appearance.
Sun Yong used the Uncle's Spiritual Talisman s to stick onto the Pig Slaughtering Knife layer by layer, then together with the Uncle, he kowtowed to their ancestors to apologize, saying that he had offended them.
”Let's go, my father is not willing to see me!” Sun Lianlin sighed in the end, her expression was extremely lonely, but when I heard it I was extremely shocked, how did Uncle know that Sun Chengzhi existed within the blade, could it be that he knows all my secrets?
I looked at the Pig Slaughtering Knife in Sun Yong's hands and hesitated, whether I should tell them the truth or not. But before I could make my decision, Sun Yong had already supported Uncle and left.
