Chapter 1539: Auntie
"Which bodyguard is it?"
Mike picked up his phone, flipped through a photo and handed it to Tang Qingxue, "It's him!"
Tang Qingxue glanced at it and was very surprised, "It's him!!"
"Does the young grandmother have an impression of him?" Mike asked, because there were too many bodyguards at home, and he usually only said hello when he saw Tang Qingxue, and there was not much intersection, basically he didn't know his name. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters-
"Yes, I saw him in the study the other day...... Let's go, let's go upstairs and have a good search in the study!"
Tang Qingxue remembered that the last time she saw Shaoqing picking Guanyin in the courtyard, she asked this bodyguard to look below, so she was familiar with him......
"Okay!" Mike waved his hand and brought all the bodyguards upstairs.
Instantly, the study was lively.
"Let's search carefully again to see if there is anything missing......" Tang Qingxue commanded.
After another ten minutes, one of the bodyguards suddenly exclaimed, "There are blood stains here......
Tang Qingxue hurriedly turned around and saw a trace of blood, which should have been artificially wiped, but it still left a faint trace, which dragged from the side of the desk to the back of the bookcase, and then disappeared, feeling that half of it had disappeared into the wall inexplicably.
Tang Qingxue looked at the wall, stretched out her hand and knocked on it, and suddenly said, "Here, demolish, here is a hollow ......"
Seeing this, Mike stepped forward and knocked on the wall with his fist, and found that it was indeed a false sound coming from inside, which must be a hollow wall, but he did not tear it down immediately, but continued to beat along the perimeter with his fist for a while, and finally said in surprise, "There is a door here, wait a minute, I'll find the mechanism......"
At Mike's beckoning, all the bodyguards came running, looking around for marks on the walls.
Finally, an invisible mechanism was found, from which the wallpaper could be removed, and when it was removed, it was revealed that there was a very narrow door, almost tightly fitting the wall, and it was impossible to see it without looking closely.
There was a small lock on the door, which was mosaic, and it was so locked that it could not be opened at all.
"Young grandmother, this lock is not on this door, I remember that in the same era as this castle, there was no such mosaic lock, this should have been installed within this year......"
Tang Qingxue nodded, looking at this door, she knew what had happened in the recent period, all kinds of suspicious and terrible secrets, and the answers were all behind this door.
Mike had tried to open the lock with a wire sleeve, but after trying for a long time and not opening it, he simply took an axe and began to cut the door.
The door was made of wood, and it could not withstand the slashing of a few men in the prime of life, and after a while it was cut down, and a small broken hole leaked out, and Mike reached into it with his arm, and felt the handle along the back of the door, and opened it with a slight twist.
The moment the door opened, many black crows flapped their wings and flew out of it.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise and retreated.
"Young grandma be careful!"
Mike thought that some terrible creature was coming, and hurriedly used his body to cover Tang Qingxue.
Soon, after wandering around the study, the group of black crows flew out of the window, and for a long time, everyone covered their eyes with their sleeves in panic, not daring to look. Compassion was the first to be reflected, "The book says that this black crow is the soul of the resentful dead!"
It was just a temptation, but several people looked at her, but they didn't take it seriously, and no one answered her.
"Ma'am, it's alright, you can come in!" Mike walked in.
It was a completely enclosed room, with no windows, and only when the narrow door was opened, could a glimmer of light come in, so that one could see the inside without being forced. Tang Qingxue then remembered that the last time she saw that mysterious figure, he disappeared magically, presumably, he should have fallen into the back of this room at that time, no wonder she couldn't find it, it turned out that there was such a mechanism.
The dim light added some mystery to the small room that had been sealed for a long time, and Mercy quickly walked in with a candle.
"Cousin-in-law, this room has been closed for too long, so you should test it with a candle first, so as not to hurt people...... "Compassion and thoughtfulness prompted.
Tang Qingxue took the candle and handed it to Mike, paused for a moment, then turned to look at Mercy, "You go downstairs and watch Niannian, be careful of what happens." ”
All the bodyguards are here, and in case a bad guy invades, it will be troublesome.
Mercy nodded and quickly ran out.
Mike held the candle forward, this room is not big, it is elongated, but it is two meters wide, but it is nearly ten meters long, it can be seen that this room should have been a part of the study, and then it was deliberately isolated with wooden walls, the strange thing is that on the walls on both sides of the room, there is a very long mural, these murals are painted directly on the wall with paint, these murals are brightly colored, and the characters are very vivid.
Tang Qingxue is studying traditional Chinese medicine, so he is still somewhat familiar with the ancient life scenes of the characters, here is the scene of the sacrifice, the map is like a big snake entrenched in a group, a priest-like person waving a scepter, behind him, is a row of cross torture instruments, the torture instruments hang the dead, these hanged people, there are missing arms, missing legs, and there are noses and ears that have been cut off, it looks very terrifying. Moreover, the position of the priest and the tortured person is the eye of the serpent.
There are also some very strange words on it, and Tang Qingxue can't understand these words, and she doesn't understand what they mean after reading them for a long time.
Mike, on the other hand, watched with relish, and walked all the way down the hallway with a candle......
The other bodyguards were more timid, standing in place and watching, hesitating and not daring to follow.
"Young Grandma ......"
Mike finally stopped, and Tang Qingxue also came over.
"Well, do you understand the meaning of this, why is there such a strange mural?" Tang Qingxue asked strangely.
Mike smiled, "Young Grandma, this mural is not really painted by ancient people, because judging from these murals and hieroglyphs, this kind of scene was recorded thousands of years ago, when humans would only record the scene with murals on the rocks. Moreover, the paint material used for this painting is obviously a product of modern society, so I speculate that the author of this mural is a modern person, and he must have painted it in imitation of some kind of scene. ”
Tang Qingxue nodded, "When was that drawn?"
"I don't know much about this, maybe it was painted when the castle was first built, or it was painted shortly after the castle was built. It doesn't matter when, what matters is what these murals are trying to convey ......"
"Tell me, what does this mural mean?" Tang Qingxue asked anxiously.
"Do you see this snake?" Mike said, pointing to the large silver snake that had been repeated many times on the mural.
"Well, I saw ......"
"This snake-like terrain is actually Thousand Lakes Island, and a long time ago, the island was surrounded by a circle of whirlpool-like rivers, and it was so long that these circles were flooded and joined together. The last time I dived to the bottom of the lake, I saw a huge ring that resembled a circle of dikes, about 10 meters deep underwater. There is a legend on this mural, she is a banshee with a snake head, her body is covered with silver scales, her two eyes are one is frost, the other is fire, her real body is transformed into this thousand lakes island, her eyes are so evil, as long as she sees the living creatures, they will fall into hell. It is said that the banshee appears once in a hundred years, and when the banshee appears, it must be sacrificed by nine people......" Mike explained with some difficulty, although he understood the meaning of the painting, but his ability to express himself was limited, and the words he said were intermittent and very reluctant.
"Sacrifice !!" Tang Qingxue's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Yes, you see, our room was built on the snake's eye, and I guess the owner of this castle is supposed to be a senior priest, and it is fake to move here to live, but it should be for a sneaky sacrifice. After all, it is illegal to kill people in broad daylight, and it will be fine to build a house and kill people quietly. ”
Mike shrugged her shoulders, Tang Qingxue suddenly felt a chill in her back, she leaned against the wall, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time, yes, Qianhu Island is indeed the snake eye on the mural. Before, a lot of bones were dug up under the big tree, and the exact number of people at that time was not counted, because some of the bones were missing, and many parts were missing, after all, it had been so many years. But the skull, she remembers, seems to be exactly nine...... These people are really scary, even the children are spared.
If this qiē is true, then it is reasonable to explain why she was knocked unconscious when she got the book, because the person did not want her to know the secret hidden in the castle.
"What if you don't offer a sacrifice?"
"Uh...... That is, it is said that anyone who is seen by the eyes of the snake will be burdened with a terrible curse, that is, they will sink into hell, and in all kinds of cruel ways. Sacrifice nine people to death, you can save countless people......"
Tang Qingxue took a deep breath, "Since this is the case, then there will definitely be the entrance to the sacrificial room around here." If the mural is real, then Li Bin may have been killed. ”
"Well, here, Mike, young grandma, there's a staircase here......"
The bodyguards who were cowering at the end of the corridor didn't dare to follow, and lingered in place for a while, then suddenly screamed.
When Tang Qingxue heard this, she hurriedly pulled Mike and ran back.
The dark room had been carpeted, but it was lifted, a wooden door was pulled up on the floor, and a black spiral staircase led into the darkness.
