My wife is horrible

"Besides you, Cang Yue'an, and your grandfather, are there any other spirits here?"

"No more..." Zero shook his head.

"There were some at the beginning, but they were eaten by grandpa. Now there are only three of us left."

"So, what happened to the former Cang Yue clan? Also, is there anything in the core area here?" Su Wu continued to ask, but the girl Ling shook her head.

"The only memories I can keep are what I experienced after becoming an earthbound spirit. I don't remember the rest." The girl seemed a little lost, but soon became cheerful again: "So, you may need to investigate these by yourself, Su Wusang. You came here to investigate these, right?"

Su Wu looked at her deeply.

There is a secret in Cang Yue Ling.

"How long have you been awake?"

"I don't know. I just kept cleaning up the things around me after I woke up. After all, Sister An said that she would be angry if Cang Yue Residence was too dirty."

"Can you communicate with them?"

"No, Sister An and Grandpa are both very scary and we can't communicate at all." Cang Yue Ling shook his head.

Alone?

In this extremely empty Cang Yue Residence, I have been cleaning up the entire Cang Yue Residence since I woke up.

That's why it's so clean when I arrive.

Su Wu suddenly felt that the girl in front of him seemed a little stupid.

After all, it was the first time he had seen such a naive earthbound spirit that still retained some kindness.

If Cang Yue Ling was born after the demise of the Cang Yue clan.

Then...

Has it been hundreds of years?

Su Wu seemed to be thinking about something.

"What is Su Wusang going to do next? But let me remind you, Grandpa is a very scary person. He was already very powerful before, and he will be even scarier now. He is the fish-slayer of the Cang Yue clan..."

Chopping fish...

Hearing this familiar word again, Su Wu raised his head.

"ceremony…"

"Eh?" Cang Yue Ling was stunned for a moment.

"I want to know how much you can remember about the rituals of the Cang Yue clan?" Su Wu looked at the girl in front of him.

"Ritual..." Cang Yue Ling's expression became dazed, as if he recalled something, and then he woke up immediately.

"Chopping fish... Chopping fish festival, festival..."

"Did you remember anything?" Su Wu asked.

Cang Yue Ling nodded: "I have a little memory, but not much."

"Can you tell me?"

"it is good…"

Through Cang Yueyou's narration, Su Wu gradually understood this special celebration called the Fish-Chopping Festival.

In ancient times, although the people of the Cang Yue clan ate the flesh and blood of mermaids and gained eternal life, they were also cursed.

The flesh and blood they eat will gradually grow in their bodies.

Among them, women's bodies grow the fastest, but they also bring powerful spiritual power.

Therefore, the women of the Cang Yue clan are generally very powerful priestesses.

As for the men of the Cang Yue clan, they will change as the mermaid flesh and blood grows in their bodies.

The most obvious change is towards women.

That's why Cang Yue Ling calls his grandfather "she".

Because her grandfather, the first head of the Cang Yue family, was a man who ate the flesh and blood of mermaids.

And because she ate a lot, not only did her appearance completely change into that of a woman, she also gained powerful spiritual power and inspiration.

She calls herself a disaster to the entire Cang Yue clan.

Chapter 171 Cutting Knife

Huo is the patriarch of the Cang Yue clan, and also represents the highest authority of the entire Cang Yue clan.

At that time, she was the god of the entire Cang Yue clan and the host of the Fish-Slaying Festival.

When talking about disaster, Cangyue Ling's face clearly showed a look of fear. It was obvious that the grandfather in her eyes was not a kind and approachable person.

The Fish-Chopping Festival is an extremely grand celebration held by the Cang Yue clan at a fixed time.

During this celebration, Huo will wear a special mask and kill the priestess who represents the mermaid.

During the ceremony, the mermaid blood flowing in the Cang Yue clan will be stimulated to the maximum extent, and beheading the fish will kill the spirituality of this blood.

All along, the first generation of mermaids have not died, but exist in the bodies of the Cang Yue clan members, constantly trying to revive, and the Fish Killing Festival is a celebration to stop this process.

Although it is impossible to completely erase the problem, as long as the ritual is performed within a fixed period of time, it can bring about stability for a period of time without any problems.

In this way, the Cang Yue clan has been passed down for who knows how many years.

And during the final ceremony, something went wrong.

Not only did it cause the mermaid blood in the body to revive, turning all the members of the Cang Yue clan into hideous monsters with hideous faces, it also allowed the real mermaids to escape.

However, due to Huo's final action, the mermaid that had escaped was not completely freed, but was trapped again by the Cangyue clan. However, this time, it could not be used as before.

At this point, the remaining tribesmen entered the mermaid's underworld through the trapped mermaids, because they could not leave the underworld. If they left for too long, they would turn into horrible monsters because they could not suppress the mermaid blood in their bodies.

And mermaids have become their true belief.

Cang Yue Ling did not know the specific process of the ceremony. According to her memory, she should have hidden herself in the end. Although she did not escape the fate of death in the end, at least her soul was preserved and was not eaten by other spirits.

According to what she said, she didn't know how long she had been wandering here. She had been alone all the time, cleaning the entire Cangyue Mansion alone. The reason was that Sister An hated the dirty Cangyue Mansion.

But she herself was trapped here.

"Grandpa guards the entire core of Cang Yue Mansion. He transforms himself into an evil spirit and kills any living creature that tries to enter the core." Cang Yue Ling reminded Su Wu.

"So Su Wusang, it's very dangerous here. Although it may be a bit discouraging to say this, at least you can save your life."

Su Wu glanced at her.

"Is there no way to kill the disaster?"

Cang Yue Ling nodded: "Grandpa has bound himself to Cang Yue Residence. As long as it is here, it will not die, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless I find my sister's device..."

"Tool?"

"Well, although I'm not sure, the device should be something made from my sister's body. It can erase the immortality in grandpa's body. So if you want to kill grandpa, you can only find my sister's device."

"What is your sister's role in the ceremony?" Su Wu asked, but he already had a rough guess in his mind.

Hearing Su Wu's question, Cang Yue Ling's eyes flashed with sadness, as if he recalled some painful memories.

"My sister was a mermaid priestess who was beheaded during the ritual."

She could never forget the scene of her sister's death, so she stole her sister's body after they made it into an artifact, but it also caused the entire ceremony to collapse and the Cang Yue clan was almost destroyed.

"Sister An has the most concentrated mermaid blood in her body, so she is the most suitable carrier for the mermaid spirit, so she is also the witch who was killed. Only in this way can part of the ritual be completed."

Su Wu looked at her seriously.

He thought for a moment: "When will the disaster come?"

"I don't know. After all, grandpa has his own behavior trajectory." Cang Yue Ling shook his head.

"Okay, then can you take me to where your grandfather lives?"

Since it can kill the disaster, the most likely possibility is that the weapon is at the place where the disaster is.

"Do you... still want to go?" Hearing Su Wu say this, Cang Yue Ling was obviously hesitant.

But Su Wu just looked at her: "I have to do something."

If it is really as Cangyue Ling said, then the weapon that Cangyue Ling mentioned is what Cangyue You asked her to find.

The weapon that can kill Huo should also be the thing that seals the mermaid.

“Well... okay..." Cang Yue Ling felt the seriousness in Su Wu's eyes, and she finally nodded.

The place where Huo lived was not far from Cangyue Ling's room, so Su Wu didn't spend much time to reach Huo's room.

"Grandpa is actually a very pure person. Perhaps it's because he ate too much human flesh that his emotions are like those of a child who never grows up. He is pure and innocent, so many people in the family are afraid of him."

Su Wu was stunned for a moment: "Why? Shouldn't purity mean not being afraid?"

But Cang Yue Ling just shook his head: "Sometimes, children who know nothing do things that make people feel scared."

"Grandpa is the god of the entire Cang Yue clan and the maintainer of order, so some clan members who violate the rules will also be dealt with and punished by him."

Cang Yue Ling looked at the room in front of him: "And what grandpa likes to do most is to bring people who have made mistakes to his room for execution, so this is also the place that everyone hates the most."

Su Wu seemed to be thinking about something, and he pushed open the door.

After opening the door, there was a small room. Although it was small, it was filled with a familiar and rich sweet smell, but this greasy smell could no longer cover up the strong fishy smell.

Su Wu suddenly seemed to think of something, but he did not rush to confirm it. Instead, he looked around and felt that there was no breath of disaster, so he walked straight into the room.

After closing the door, he could see clearly what was inside the room.

The dim candlelight flickered, illuminating everything here.

This is a very ordinary girl's room.

only…

If you ignore the torture instruments on the other side.

The almost rusty iron chains were connected to the wall. This was a place similar to Xingtai. There seemed to be dried blood and some rotten meat on the surface of the platform.

The walls are covered with various torture instruments, all of which are covered with rust due to the passage of time.

This is…

Iron nails, broken bones, and some black sewage.

This place is almost completely separated from the ordinary girl's room next to it.

It's like a scene from two different worlds.

At this moment, Su Wu suddenly understood where that sweet feeling came from.

He looked towards a dark water tank, inside which was a dried corpse...

No, to be precise, it was a corpse without limbs.

With a pale face and no head, she just sat quietly in the dark water tank. Her body was covered with scars.

And she...made the calm Cang Yue Ling's expression change instantly.

"grandfather…"

She subconsciously wanted to speak, but suddenly covered her mouth.

Although it is not clear why this unfortunate corpse is staying here, it is obvious that this is not a lucky thing.

Without its head, it seemed that nothing could be seen. Its body was immersed in a dark water tank. The exposed skin was unusually pale, and there seemed to be an oily green liquid on the surface.

And that sweet smell came from this body that was not dead.

Cang Yue Ling was so frightened that her face turned pale. She didn't expect that Cang Yue Huo, whom she had been avoiding, would actually stay in this room.

"She should be sleeping..." Su Wu looked at the corpse and did not feel any resentment from her.

Obviously, everyone needs to sleep and rest, let alone this horrible evil spirit that has not died until now.

Looking at the headless corpse, Su Wu felt a numbing sensation in his heart. The strong fear reminded him that if he continued to stay here and let the corpse wake up, something terrible would happen.
