Mr. Shen hesitated for a moment and said, “There is this possibility for the Shen family’s side branches. After all, the Shen family has been passed down for more than a thousand years, and it has gradually grown and scattered. Many of them have appeared, but many of them have no longer been included in the genealogy, so they must have been named more casually!”
I recalled the life experience that Mr. Shen had told me at the beginning, and continued to ask, “Old Shen, do you have any three taboos in your Shen family?”
“Do you actually know the three taboos?” Mr. Shen was very surprised. 126shu
I nodded.
“Why… hey, of course it was Shen Mengkong who told you. However, there is one thing you may not know. Only the core members of the family are still aware of the three taboos! If it is a side branch, it should have been divided by recent generations!”
“Why?”
Old Shen stroked his beard and said, “In fact, the Shen family is far from the strong as you imagined. The technique of divination is a technique of peeping at the secrets of heaven, and it is impossible to have no cost at all. For example, the descendants of the Shen family have never been many. Although the ancestors have successively divided some side branches, they often cannot pass on for several generations. Unless, after leaving the Shen family, these side branches will never touch the technique of divination, cut off their inheritance, and only live the life of ordinary people, otherwise they will not be spared. So…”
I took the conversation: “So, if it weren’t for the newly-separated side branches, or it would be yours!”
“Not bad!”, Mr. Shen nodded.
I frowned. If this is the case, Old Shen should have barely met, because he said that when his lineage was driven out, it should be his great-grandfather, which was considered a newly separated side branch.
“A few generations forward, is there someone in the Shen family who violated the three major taboos and was then driven away. Moreover, his lineage was convicted for this, and the disaster lasted for nine generations. No matter men, women, young and old, they will not live to be thirty years old?” I continued to ask.
“There is indeed such a thing.” After pondering for a moment, Mr. Shen nodded, and then looked at me in confusion, “Are you saying that Shen Mengkong a descendant of this lineage?”
“Yes, he admitted it personally!”
“Impossible!” Mr. Shen said decisively without thinking.
“Why?”
“The person who violated the taboo is my cousin’s uncle. His descendants have only lasted for three generations, and they are gone!”
Only lasted for three generations? But I clearly remember that Lao Shen said that he was the fourth generation of the Nine Generations of the Death!
My heart trembled suddenly, my fists clenched, and my breathing became heavy, but I didn’t understand the matter. I could only suppress my stormy mood and asked in a trembling voice: “There are only three generations. Can you be sure that there are only three generations? Will the third generation have children left behind, but no one knows?”
Old Shen shook his head: “My father, when he was young, he was taken care of by his uncle, soAlthough their lineage was driven out, our family still had contacts with them in private. As far as I know, their lineage was cursed and the population was not strong. Three generations were passed down to the third generation who were convicted and were also my nephews, only one nephew, named Shen Xianming. Shen Xianming was born with a weak body and lived to be fourteen years old, and died early. Do you think that a 14-year-old child will have future generations to stay? “
Sharp…
I originally wanted to see if I could find Shen Mengkong through Mr. Shen, but at this moment, something seemed to be torn apart in my chest, my chest was aching faintly, and my mouth was a little bit fishy and sweet. I didn’t know where it was broken. I tried hard to adjust my breathing and asked slowly, “That’s to say, the Shen family, there is no Shen Mengkong anymore? “
“There are only one time except my uncle, who violated the three major family taboos, but that happened a long time ago. If this Shen Mengkong is just an ordinary descendant of a side branch, it may be possible, but if it is a descendant of the Shen family who was punished for violating the family taboos, it is absolutely impossible. However, it is not easy for this person to know so many secrets of the Shen family. Perhaps he had contact with his late uncle’s family! “
I almost didn’t listen to Mr. Shen’s next sentence. In my mind, a questioning voice was yelling at me at the top of my lungs.
Shen Mengkong, this name and this person are all fake. So, what he said and what he did… are all fake?
