So I just asked the key points.
A century-old curse?
Professor Wu sat down from the stool with a "swoosh" sound, and his pupils with golden-edged eyes began to magnify unconsciously, as if a nervous mood spread across him.
I had no idea that he would be so nervous about the fact that a cursed child in the four major families would have been so cursed that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
At that moment, I could only stand in place and look at him with an inexplicable and confused look.
After the two were silent for a while, Professor Wu suddenly sighed, slowly sat on the stool, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "There are people who remember the century-old curse. It seems that you are prepared?"
Then he changed his mind and said slowly: "Tell me, who sent you?"
Look at his performance, it turns out that he misunderstood my purpose?
I looked at his face inadvertently, and saw that although he was silent, he did not look too angry. I felt a little calmer.
The correct expression was immediately responded with righteous words: "No one sent me here. Today I was just trying to discuss the history of Xiangxi, but I accidentally talked about the four major families, so I had this question."
If the professor thinks I am a person with ulterior motives, then I will leave immediately and I will never disturb the professor for a moment!
After saying that, I quickly stood up, glanced at him calmly, and prepared to leave the professor's house.
But at this moment, my heart kept calling: "Hurry up and keep a guest, you nerdy professor, I am really not a bad person!"
etc!
The professor's voice came from beside me, living up to expectations.
My heart finally settled with his voice.
If he didn't keep me just now, I would really leave his house without hesitation. Even though I especially wanted to find out about curses from him, my personality determines that I am not a shameless person.
"How do you know about the Centennial Curse?"
The professor asked questions calmly.
I think his mood should have calmed down at this moment, because when he said this, he didn't even raise his eyelids.
"Twelve years ago, I heard the three elders of the Wang family talk about the century-old curse, and there was a corpse-driver from your Wu family - Uncle Wu Mingtian, as evidence!"
I answered calmly, while my eyes carefully looked at his expression to see if he had any abnormal movements.
Although I must believe in his character, after all, the four major families are all from the same lineage no matter what, so they should not do anything to betrayal.
But my grandfather taught me since I was a child that I would like to talk to everyone, and I would be willing to give up all my heart.
So no matter when, I will act extremely cautiously.
What's more, it's a place like a provincial capital that is thousands of miles away from home. If something happens, I can only rely on my own support. In this situation, I should be more calm.
In addition, since I practiced Zhuyouke's Qi Technique, my nerves were extremely sharp, and any abnormal movement around me would arouse my alertness.
However, Professor Wu did not reveal too many abnormalities, but continued to answer calmly: "You actually know my cousin - Wu Mingtian?"
"It's not just about knowing each other. We have also fought against the Star Demon Cult in Lao Siyan's corpse driving inn together, and fought side by side in the Wang family's old house to turn the tide if so, but there is no need to talk about these past events. You should tell me about the century-old curse of the four major families first?"
I looked at Professor Wu with great enthusiasm, hoping to learn more relevant knowledge from him, so as to increase my confidence in unraveling this curse in the future.
After all, I am now twenty years old. If nothing unexpected happens, I may die in a disaster at any time within ten years, or even within three or five years.
Seeing that I was so urgent about asking questions, Professor Wu also considered that I was Bai Renshi's grandson and would not have any evil intentions towards him.
He simply stood up from the stool and said mysteriously: "Yiyang, sit and wait, I'll take something to show you!"
After saying that, without waiting for my answer, he was already walking towards the bedroom on the side under my gaze.
Looking at his slender and strong back, I couldn't help but start to habitually guess his personality in my mind.
After about two minutes, Professor Wu took a sandalwood box about 30 centimeters from the bedroom, took it in the palm of his hand and walked towards me.
Although it is still far away from me, the sandalwood box exudes a quaint smell invisibly, so far from me, I feel that the things in this box are definitely not simple.
After Professor Wu approached, he gently took a piece of yellow cloth from his pocket and spread it flat on the mahogany table in front of me. Then he patiently and carefully placed the sandalwood box on the yellow cloth.
After the series of things was completed, he said in a distant tone: "Yiyang, guess what would be the things in this box?"
After hearing this, I immediately used my grandfather’s technique of praying for my qi and looked at the sandalwood box with concentration.
Unfortunately, this box seems to have some kind of magic blessing, and I cannot detect the attributes of what is contained in the box with my spiritual sense.
Apart from that quaint aura, no other information was revealed.
I shook my head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I can't guess what's inside, but it's very likely that it is a very ancient object, and the history should be no less than six hundred years!"
The professor nodded at me with satisfaction and said aloud: "That's right, there is indeed an antique inside. You might as well open the sandalwood box and take a look."
As he said that, he glanced at the box with his eyes and signaled me to open it.
This... I'm not suitable for me to open it, it seems to be a bit overwhelming?
I was a little hesitant.
"There is nothing wrong. If I was wrong, you would be shocked by this thing!" Professor Wu continued to say calmly.
What kind of thing is Professor Wu who thinks I will be shocked by it?
After he said this, I became more and more curious.
But since he has already opened his mouth, there is no need for me to refuse. After all, I still understand the truth about the guest following the host.
He slowly stretched out his tender white and slender palms, gently took the sandalwood box into his hand, and looked at it carefully.
