Chapter 24: The Mystery of the Bones

I saw that my brother had suddenly disappeared, leaving only an open window, and it was dark outside, so I hurriedly ran to the window and shouted out to my brother. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing that no one responded, he hurriedly ran to the dark courtyard, looking at the darkness around him and feeling a little dazed.

At this time, Bai Feng and Long Yang also walked out with me, I ran to Bai Feng, grabbed his hand and said anxiously, "Can you take me to find Senior Brother?" ”

"Yes!" The white wind picked me up and swept across the roof into the darkness in the distance.

I wrapped my arms around his neck tightly for fear that I would fall, and looked ahead. Although I couldn't see clearly in the darkness, I could roughly tell from the direction I had left that it was the direction to the mountain.

What did the senior brother find? Why go up the hill? Could those bones on the mountain have anything to do with this?

There was a sound of breaking wind behind him, and it should be Long Yang following behind.

I looked at Bai Feng, he was always looking straight ahead, his eyes seemed to be able to see everything around him, and with my keen senses, I could feel him constantly changing direction, dodging obstacles in front of him.

At this moment, I trusted him, not only believing that he could help me find my senior brother, but also believing that he would not hurt me and that he could help me help my senior brother in an emergency.

Soon after, he stopped under an old pine tree, put me on the ground, and looked ahead. Long Yang also arrived at this time, standing beside Bai Feng.

I followed his line of sight, and it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything, only the sound of fighting.

As soon as I wanted to step forward, I was grabbed by Bai Feng, who seemed to know that my eyesight was limited, and his right hand rushed into the two acupoints on my back with two breaths, and the acupoints were instantly opened after a stinging pain, and my eyes gradually began to become clear.

When my vision was completely clear, I saw a scene that shocked me: a young man about 20 years old fell to the ground in a night suit, and a large amount of blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. The senior brother walked up to him, watched him quietly without speaking, and then raised his hand and slapped him on the chest, and the man immediately lost his life.

I watched in disbelief at the scene that happened in front of me, and when I came back to my senses, I was about to step forward to question, but I was pulled by Bai Feng, who seemed to want to see what my senior brother would do next.

My mind was very confused at that time, I didn't know what to do, I didn't know how to react, I was only shocked in my heart, how could such a kind and upright senior brother kill someone!

So he was pulled by Bai Feng like this, and in the confusion he watched the senior brother pick up a thick branch next to him and dig a pit half a meter deep, and then threw the man into the pit, then filled the soil back, and finally spread a layer of withered grass on it.

This kind of killing method, such a burial method, is exactly the same as the bones found before, and there are no less than 600 such corpses in these mountains, is Senior Brother the murderer who has killed so many people?

After doing all the follow-up work, the relaxed senior brother seemed to have discovered us. My body shook, and I stood there for a long time without reacting. Then he walked slowly towards me, and when he came up to me, he asked a little dejectedly, "Have you seen it all?" ”

My tears immediately fell, and when he approached me, how I wished that the man was not a senior brother, but that I had seen it wrong.

I looked at him and asked, "Senior brother...... Did you kill all those people here? ”

The senior brother didn't answer, but just looked at me quietly for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. Then he turned to Bai Feng and said, "Please send Xiaoxiao back, I'm a little out of strength and can't hold her." After saying that, he quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Bai Feng sighed, then picked me up and quickly swept back.

I don't know if the wind dried the tears or what's wrong, when I got home, the tears that had been raging before had stopped. After knowing the truth, my heart felt a little calmer, I can understand that my brother has his reasons for doing this, but I need a reason for him to do this now, and I need him to give me a reason.

Bai Feng and Long Yang and I walked into my senior brother's room, he had already prepared the tea and sat down in the previous position, waiting for his guests to arrive.

Bai Feng and Long Yang sat down in the previous positions, and I walked over to Bai Feng and sat down on the chair next to him.

Seeing that we were already seated, the senior brother picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and began to explain all this.

He didn't look at me, just looked at Bai Feng and asked, "When did you find out?" ”

Bai Feng looked at me, and then replied, "When I accompanied Xiaoxiao to the mountain to collect medicine before, Long Yang found a corpse. We thought it was strange, so I used my spiritual power to probe it, but I didn't expect to find so many bones with the same way of death. ”

Bai Feng paused and continued, "We didn't have any interest in these, we only suspected that this might have something to do with Xiaoxiao before we went to investigate. Now that I know that there is no threat to her, I don't want to ask more, but you should still owe Xiaoxiao an explanation! ”

Senior brother looked at me, sighed, and said, "I originally wanted to hide it from her, but I didn't expect ......"

"Senior brother, what the hell is going on? Why do you want to kill people? "To be honest, I'm still hard to come to terms with this.

"Where to start with this!" Senior Brother seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was asking me, and he was silent for a while and continued: "The existence of the Zhan family at the beginning was a threat in the eyes of some descendants of Yan Huang. Although the Zhan family has always lived a low-key life and never fought for anything, in order to eliminate their so-called hidden dangers, those people organized a secret organization and began to send killers to gradually attack the Zhan clan.

At first, the clansmen of the Zhan clan did not find anything, but it was only after several successive deaths or disappearances that the patriarch at that time realized the seriousness of the matter. He wanted to avenge the death of his clansmen, but he couldn't find the murderer and the mastermind behind the scenes, so he had to leave his original residence with the whole family and live in a remote valley.

It's just that it didn't take long for the quiet life to start looking for killers again, and the patriarch could only recall the guardians of the Zhan clan from all over the place, and start killing the killers together with some strong people in the clan to ensure the safety of the clansmen. This method did have some effect, probably because none of the killers sent at that time returned, so the residence at that time was not revealed. They also captured alive a few killers and tortured the mastermind behind the scenes, but they found nothing except that they knew that they were the descendants of Yan Huang.

Within a few months, another killer discovered the place, so they killed the killer one by one. It's just that this is never a good way, and the killers are like they can't be killed, and batch after batch comes. Later, the people of the clan agreed to leave the original place and find a more secret place to settle down.

In the past 10,000 years, the Zhan clan has been migrating like this, constantly changing places to avoid pursuit. More than 300 years ago, the Zhan clan came to settle here, probably because the terrain here is somewhat hidden, and the killers were found a year later, and the number was not large, and they were quickly killed.

For more than 300 years, the Zhan clan has been killing the killers they found to prevent their residences from leaking, and at the same time they have begun to collect energy to set up a protective barrier in this area. ”

"Is this energy that can be felt around here this protective barrier?" Bai Feng asked.

"Hmm." Senior Brother nodded: "This enchantment is not strong, and it needs to be constantly replenished with energy, so after the death of every Zhan Clan guardian, they will scatter their ashes on these mountains to continuously maintain the protective enchantment." ”

"That's why Master will let me scatter his ashes on the mountain after he dies?" I felt a little stuffy in my heart, and tears began to roll in my eyes.

Senior Brother looked at me and nodded, and continued: "Due to the pursuit of these people, the Zhan family has also begun to decline gradually, and a powerful family has reached the generation of Xiaoxiao's parents, and only the two of them are left. After they gave birth to Xiaoxiao, they handed Xiaoxiao over to me and Master to raise, and then left here without listening to Master's advice, and there has been no news since then.

During this period, killers continued to be found, although Xiaoxiao's bloodline was sealed, but we were still worried that she would be discovered, so we still killed the killers found one by one as before to ensure the safety of the last bloodline of the Zhan clan. ”

I was stunned when I heard it, but I didn't expect that the root cause of this was actually me. Master and Senior Brother took the lives of these people for my sake, and I still blame them for killing people.
