Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liu Sanniang’s voice was soft, but it somehow made everyone in the Tang family want to cry.
Being a member of the Tang family was more than tiring.
Liu Sanniang looked at Master Tang and continued. “I saw a very dark night and heavy rain. You stood in that trap and didn’t open your mouth to shout a word. You heard many people searching for you. They called your name, Muxun, Tang Muxun.”
Master Tang’s body trembled. Just like that, the memories in the depths of his heart were pulled out by Liu Sanniang without any warning. Scenes replayed in his mind as if they had happened only yesterday.
“Those who loved you shouted your name, hoping that you could give them some response. You stood in the trap and looked at the extremely small exit. Your eyes were filled with despair. But you don’t want to live anymore. You don’t want to hear people call you a monster again.”
When his memory was pulled out by Liu Sanniang, Master Tang trembled and almost instantly broke down. “Enough, enough…”
Master Tang suddenly retracted his hand. He still had a lingering fear in his heart. When Liu Sanniang told him about this memory, he became afraid and believed her instantly.
Liu Sanniang’s identity was unquestionable.
Master Tang was afraid that Liu Sanniang would describe the pain in the depth of his heart. Fortunately, after he asked Liu Sanniang to stop, she stopped.
He took a few deep breaths before he regained his rationality.
Madam Tang did not know what Liu Sanniang was talking about, nor did Tang Huaiyu or Tang Huaijin. However, they could tell from Master Tang’s expression that something was wrong.
Tang Huaixiao said, “Father, what she said…”
Was it all true? Tang Huaixiao didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone knew what she wanted to ask.
Master Tang nodded. “What Miss Liu said is true.”
Those memories had been buried in his heart for many years. He had never mentioned it to anyone.
Master Tang looked at Liu Sanniang and said solemnly, “Miss Liu, our Tang family has been trying to wash away our sins for generations. We’ve invited countless psychics, but we couldn’t remove the curse. Now, I, Tang Muxun, beg you to help our Tang family. As long as you can help the Tang family, our family will agree to all your requests. No matter what it is, as long as you ask, we will do anything to satisfy you.”
Master Tang made a solemn promise.
Liu Sanniang replied calmly. “Let’s talk about this after I take a look at the statue.”
Master Tang was stunned for a moment before nodding. “The Buddha statue is in the ancestral hall. Miss Liu, please follow me.”
“Father.”
Tang Huaixiao called out.
Master Tang looked back at Tang Huaixiao and said, “Huaixiao, don’t worry. 1 won’t do anything stupid. I have to get an answer, no matter what it is.”
Even if what came with the answer was a bloody calamity, he had to know.
Master Tang led the way and brought Liu Sanniang to the ancestral hall. After walking out of the main hall, Master Tang suddenly stopped and turned back. “Everyone, come. Since the rule is already broken, there’s no need to abide by it.”
Tang Huaiji and Tang Huaiyu followed behind. Madam Tang walked up to Tang Huaixiao and held her hand. “Let’s go. Your father knows what he is doing.”
The Tang family’s ancestral hall was located in the center of the Dizang Manor. This courtyard was deep and cold. Only the head of the family had the key to open the door.
Master Tang opened the door and let everyone in.
Even Madam Tang had never been to this ancestral hall in all these years.
There was a Buddha statue and memorial tablets for the ancestors of the Tang family in there. Only the head of the Tang family had the right to worship it.
In the bright ancestral hall, there was a golden Buddha statue with a charitable face.
Master Tang looked at the Buddha statue with mixed feelings. He shivered for no reason.
Liu Sanniang looked at the statue with a cold gaze.
The souls were filled with anger towards her, and she heard many angry voices.
“What’s going on with Muxun? Didn’t I teach him to remember the rule? I’ve only been dead for a few years. Why doesn’t he take my words seriously?”
“Hurry up and get him to take away these people. Otherwise, what if they anger the Buddha? The hard work of so many generations must not be destroyed.”
Below the Buddha statue were a few rows of memorial tablets.
When Liu Sanniang heard these voices, she released her power. Soon, these souls appeared in the ancestral hall like phantoms.
For a moment, the huge ancestral hall actually seemed a little crowded.
The souls didn’t seem to notice that they had taken form. Instead, they kept arguing.
“Look at what kind of unfilial son you brought up. He didn’t even take what you said to heart.”
“What did I teach you back then? How did you teach Muxun? Why did you make him so impetuous?”
The soul that was scolded lowered his head and said, “Father, Grandfather, Great-grandfather, please don’t blame me. Muxun is not an impulsive child. There might be a reason for this…”
At this moment, the shocked Tang family gradually came back to their senses.
Master Tang and Mrs. Tang had already knelt down. “Father, it’s my fault, but don’t be angry. Listen to me.”
Tang Huaixiao, Tang Huaixiao, and Tang Huaiyu knelt down as well.
Only then did the souls realize that something was wrong. Their expressions were complicated. In the end, they pointed at Master Tang and Madam Tang and asked. “Muxun, can you see us?”
After asking, he was even more surprised. “That shouldn’t be the case. You’re not dead yet.. How can you see us? No, no, how can you all see us?”
