04 The ban of the underworld
"Okay, you said," she looked at me seriously.
I picked up the tea, blew it, took a few sips, and put down the tea bowl.
"More than four thousand years ago, the underworld and the demon world selected seven demon clans in the human world, and gave them a secret talisman, and signed different contracts with them according to the different attributes of the secret talisman." I said, "The one handed over to the Su family to guard is the Su Bi secret talisman among the seven secret talismans."
"The Suzaku Secret Talisman?" She frowned.
"Yes," I nodded, "They hid the Suzaku Secret Talisman on Tianfeng Mountain, but only the underworld and the Demon World know where this Tianfeng Mountain is."
"What's going on with this Phoenix Eye?" she asked.
"The Eye of the Phoenix is to find Tianfeng Mountain and open the key to the secret talisman," I said, "The Underworld and the Demon Realm have handed this key to the Su family. It will choose the right person and hide it on this person, and this person is the head of the Su family. Because the Eye of the Phoenix is so ignorant, the head of the Su family has been mysterious for more than 4,000 years. Not to mention outsiders, even many people in your clan cannot understand your identity. Therefore, for more than 4,000 years, other families have been attacked by other demons to varying degrees, trying to seize the holy objects they guard. Only your Su family is safe and sound."
"You are right," she breathed a sigh of relief, "The Su family has never experienced much change in the past four thousand years, and has always been very safe."
I nodded and continued, "You can be safe because of the Phoenix Eye. As long as it does not appear in the world, Tianfeng Mountain and Zhuque Secret Talisman are safe. But once it has problems and leaves the body of the Su family, Tianfeng Mountain and the Secret Talisman will be in danger that day. So when the underworld and the Demon World signed a contract with the Su family, there was such a thing - if the secret Talisman leaves the head of the Su family and appears in the world, the underworld will destroy the entire Su family."
She was shocked, "Destroy our entire clan?"
"Yes, kill all your clan," I said calmly.
"Is this too unreasonable?" She was very excited. "The heads of the family in all generations have chosen by the Phoenix Eye themselves. Can we intervene? If it wants to show itself, what can we do? We can't do anything! In this case, we have to destroy my entire clan. How can this be done in the world?"
"The underworld and the demon world do this to make the Su family abide by the rules." I looked at her, "You are one of the seven demon clans in Yanxia, but you are forbidden to conflict with other demon clans. Is that true? You were originally living in the north, but later forced by other demon clans, and had to give up your territory again and again and again and continue to migrate. Is this true?"
She calmed down and nodded, "You are right, that's it..."
"The reason you are forbidden to fight with other demon clans is because behind the Phoenix Eye is the Suzaku Secret Talisman," I said, "The Suzaku Master is a good official and likes to fight. If you start a war with other demon clans, you will definitely touch the Suzaku Secret Talisman through the Phoenix Eye. Once the Suzaku Secret Talisman is touched, it will in turn impact the Phoenix Eye. In that case, the Phoenix Eye will inevitably leave the Su family head and show its true appearance in the human world. The underworld plus the clause to destroy your entire clan is to shock your fighting spirit, so as to prevent your later family owners from fighting with other demon clans by controlling their own family strength."
"But we didn't start a war," she said sadly, "For more than four thousand years, we moved from Shangjing to Xijing, then to Central Plains, to southern Yunnan, to Nanyue, and finally to Jinling. We have been tolerant and always adhered to the contract between the underworld and the demon world, but now the Phoenix Eye is still about to appear?"
"I said that it appears because its mission is about to end," I said, "For more than four thousand years, the owner of the Suzaku Secret Talisman has come. It is about to find her master, so the Phoenix Eye began to appear."
"Its owner..." She stared at me in a daze.
I avoided her gaze and cleared my throat, "It is precisely because of the terms of the underworld and the demon world to destroy the entire Su family, that your ancestor set the family rules for blood sacrifice to the Phoenix Eye. Because it takes time for the Phoenix Eye to be fully displayed, before it is completely revealed, as long as the head of the family is killed, the Phoenix Eye will have to be transferred to another person and start the process of manifestation again. Your ancestor did this with the last resort, and he was in order to preserve the entire Su family."
"It's a last resort..." She smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly.
"The secret talisman of the Suzaku is about to return to the owner, and the Phoenix Eye must appear, and no one can stop this." I looked at her, "So I just said that you are the last head of the Su family chosen by the Phoenix Eye. This set of rules has been passed down in the Su family for more than 4,000 years, but now, it must be changed. From now on, only your direct descendants can inherit the position of the head of the family. Only in this way can the Su family be in chaos."
She lowered her head and nodded silently.
"I know, it's difficult to challenge traditions," I sighed softly, "But don't worry, as long as you agree, I will help you. After solving this, I will let you truly control the Su family and become the real head of the family."
She was silent for a moment and looked up at me, "Master, can I ask you a question?"
"Yes", I said.
"You are the master of the Zhuque Secret Talisman, right?" She looked at me.
I looked at her quietly, not knowing what to say.
"Am I right?" she asked.
"Why do you think so?" I asked her.
"Because after I saw you, the Phoenix Eye began to appear." She stared at me, "You are its master. It has been waiting for you for more than 4,000 years, so I can't hold back when I see you, right?"
I didn't say anything and nodded silently.
She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at me, "Okay, then I'll feel relieved. I'll listen to you, I'll do whatever you ask me to do!"
"Okay," I said, "You must keep this matter confidential and never tell the people of the Su family."
"Don't worry, I understand," she said, "This is a secret. You can tell me that it has given me great face and I will not disclose it to others."
"Yeah!" I nodded.
She took a deep breath, calmed her emotions, and then said to me, "I agree to both of your words. Now, can you tell me how much blessings I need?"
"I am the master of the Zhuque Secret Talisman", I looked at her, "Don't you think I've implicated you? In this case, do you ask me to pray for blessings?"
"You can't say that," she looked at me seriously, "I don't think it was you who implicated me. I am the head of the Su family. Protecting the Phoenix Eye is my mission. You are helping me now and you must follow the rules! Master, don't think too much, just tell me, just how much is appropriate."
I looked at her for a while and nodded, "My casual, my assistant's one thousand three million."
"Okay!" She was very happy, "Send me your account and I'll do it right away!"
I took out my cell phone, edited a text message with Keer’s account, and sent her.
She then started to operate.
After a while, I received a text message from the bank and she transferred me 210 million.
I subconsciously glanced at her.
"Don't think it's too little..." she said quickly, "I beat it based on my feelings..."
I smiled softly, "You feel very accurate."
She smiled embarrassedly and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she picked up the tea and drank it down.
It can be seen that she is so thirsty.
I picked up the tea and took a sip.
At this time, Ke'er called.
"Young Master, are you going to do business?" she asked excitedly.
"Where are you now?"
"I'm at home and came back last night," she said, "Young Master, where are you going this time?"
"Wait at home," I said, "I'll have someone pick you up."
"Okay!" Keer was very happy.
I hung up the phone and asked Su Jing, "Do you know where Ke'er lives?"
"I know!" She stood up, "Mr. Chen and I have been to Instructor Su's house and remember the address."
"Okay", I nodded, "Go and bring Ke'er."
"Yeah!" She clasped her fists at me, "I'll go now!"
She turned and left.
I watched her leave, watched her walk out of the villa, and her figure flashed and disappeared with a whistle.
I thought for a moment, stood up, and turned around.
