Chapter 418: Ancestral Hall
With the meaning of respect and respect for his predecessors, before paying homage to the incense, Luo Xiaobei did not carefully look at the names of those seniors written on the spirit card.
After completing the basic movements, Luo Xiaobei began to look at everything in the secret room again.
The surnames on the spirit cards are all ordinary, and as described by Uncle Li before, there is no description of the word "public loss" on it.
Knowing that this was just to avoid suspicion, Luo Xiaobei was not surprised.
But the layout and layout of this secret room seem to be the place in this village where only people who have guarded the ancestral hall for generations can enter? Why did Uncle Li let them come here?
"Uncle Li......" Luo Xiaobei opened his mouth to ask the ins and outs of the whole thing, but Uncle Li's shaking of his head made her swallow the next words into her stomach.
The expression on Uncle Li's face was very serious, and he was still holding the key to the red line in his hand, motioning for Luo Xiaobei and the two to come with him.
I didn't understand what Uncle Li meant by this, but he couldn't let the two of them come in to play, so he no longer looked at the scene in the secret room, but followed Uncle Li to the right of the Guanyin statue.
On the right side of the Guanyin statue is also a row of painted spirit cards, and the three of them walked to the end of the spirit cards, only to see Uncle Li take out the key in his hand and insert the key in a subtle position on the wall.
As when I entered the place before, as soon as the key was put in, the shelves of all the spirit tablets placed together with the statue of Guanyin moved.
The movement was very slight, and there was no special sound, but after this short movement, Luo Xiaobei turned around and saw a passage that accommodated a person coming out behind the shelf and the statue of Guanyin.
Compared to the previous passage, which could only be crawled, the passage now allows people to walk upright.
This kind of setting made Luo Xiaobei unexpected, there is actually a special secret room behind the ancestral hall, is this secret room where something important is placed?
In order to protect this thing, the ancestors who built this village probably spent a lot of thought.
The three of them entered through the passage, and only then did they see that in this secret room, which was not half the size of the outside, there was also a statue of Guanyin.
Unlike the previous two, this statue is lit with candles in the secret room, and the soft light decorates the delicate and small statue of Guanyin.
At the front of the statue of Guanyin, in a jade plate that is also white and clear, a thin brown paper is placed.
Luo Xiaobei understood at a glance that this was the drawing that Uncle Li had mentioned before and was enshrined in front of the Guanyin statue, that is, the one drawn by Lu Zhe that happened to be similar to the pattern on this one.
This village and the mausoleum had some kind of connection before, Luo Xiaobei and Wang Xiaowan came here to confirm before, but now that this matter has passed, why did Uncle Li call them here again?
"I didn't want to bring you here!" Seeing that Luo Xiaobei was puzzled for a long time, Uncle Li finally spoke, "But I think it's necessary to tell you about this matter!"
"What's the matter?" vaguely felt that Uncle Li didn't call them here this time for the sake of the ancestral hall, and the question in Luo Xiaobei's heart deepened.
Uncle Li shook his head and signaled Luo Xiaobei not to worry, only to see him turn around and pick up the brown paper on the crystal white tray with one hand, and the Guanyin statue suddenly shook violently as if something was hitting behind it.
Luo Xiaobei and Wang Xiaowan subconsciously stepped back, but when they saw that Uncle Li who was standing in place did not make any movement, they realized that such a movement should not be dangerous.
The movement quickly vanished, and after a thick cloud of dust dispersed, a chill came over the face.
After the dust in front of him completely dispersed, Luo Xiaobei saw clearly what the cool thing was.
Behind the statue of Guanyin was a black cave, and bursts of cold air came out of the grotto, causing goosebumps on Luo Xiaobei's body to pop up one after another.
"This is?" Luo Xiaobei looked at the grotto puzzled, and the cold atmosphere inside made Luo Xiaobei subconsciously retreat.
The last time she entered the mausoleum, Luo Xiaobei was extremely angry and wanted to avenge the villagers, so she didn't have much feeling for the snakes she was afraid of, but now that she thought about it, let her experience it again, she didn't dare anymore.
The fear of snakes is already a deep-rooted thing, and she may forget it at some point, but after the whole person calms down, she will feel scared in hindsight.
Luo Xiaobei is such a situation.
Uncle Li shook his head, "It's the first time I've found out, and I just feel that the grotto behind here is very similar to the one in the mausoleum at that time, so I called you over." ”
Uncle Li's observation ability is definitely not inferior to Luo Xiaobei and Wang Xiaowan, as soon as the giant python came out, Wang Xiaowan took Uncle Li and left the scene, but in that short period of time, Uncle Li had already recorded the appearance in the grotto.
The grottoes are all about the same, but the stalactites that are about to touch the ground from the top are grottoes that are deep in the ground and do not see the light of day all year round, and they can only be produced after tens of thousands of years of accumulation. The predecessors of the public loser must have the meaning they wanted to express when they built the grotto here, but the intention of doing so made Luo Xiaobei find that the people here did not dare to step in.
"Uncle Li, didn't the senior who asked you to take over the ancestral hall tell you that this paper would trigger such a mechanism as soon as you pick it up?" Luo Xiaobei was a little incomprehensible, as soon as the Guanyin statue was opened just now, the dust flew out of the sky, and at first glance, this place had never been opened.
"I didn't say it!" Uncle Li's answer was the same as Luo Xiaobei guessed, "I only found out when I brought Feng Qi here today!"
This paper was picked up by Feng Qi unintentionally, but he didn't expect that such a thin piece of paper would become the key to triggering the opening of this Guanyin statue.
Seeing that it was extremely cold in the grotto, Luo Xiaobei thought about it, but gave up the idea of going in. She turned to look at Wang Xiaowan standing behind her, and understood at a glance that Wang Xiaowan and her thoughts were the same.
"Let's go back first!" Wang Xiaowan nodded and said, "Uncle Li, thank you for your willingness to bring us here, but it's too dangerous here, and with the strength of the two of us, there's no way to get in here!"
What was the situation last time, Uncle Li also understood in his heart that he would tell the two of them about this matter just hoping to help the two of them, and he didn't think of asking Luo Xiaobei and Wang Xiaowan to go in.
"I understand!" Uncle Li nodded, "I just think I can tell you about this, but it's too dangerous to go." ”
Uncle Li turned around and hobbled towards the end of the spirit card, the key was pulled out, and the Guanyin statue returned to its original position.
