Chapter 33: The Secret Room Discovery

All four of them straightened up at the same time, staring at the hidden door across from them

The collision just now was not a muffled sound caused by the wind blowing the wooden door, it was like a behemoth in the dark being pushed when it was made, Mo Siyou subconsciously thought of the secret door, but at this time, the person who appeared in this place to pull the secret door was probably not a simple person, even if it was not a ghost

Could it be......

"Go in and have a look," Mo Siyou hesitated for a moment, but still made a decision, he walked to the room first, and grabbed Purple Kite's hand, although he felt that this room might be strange, but he couldn't leave Purple Kite outside, so he could only let her stay by his side and do his best to protect her

Stretching out his hand to push open the old door, there was a "squeak" sound, and what came into view was a whole row of tablets

"It's the ancestral hall, ......," Purple Kite secretly thought in her heart, following closely behind Mo Siyou, the house was already very dilapidated, and the plaque outside had fallen off, so she didn't notice it before entering, and after walking in, she was greeted by a yin aura that made the hairs on Purple Kite's body stand up

Behind the tablets, a secret door opened horizontally in the wall, revealing a dark opening

Mo Siyou glanced at the purple kite, signaled that they wanted to go in together, saw the purple kite, nodded and got ready, and the other two also nodded in agreement, Mo Siyou was the first to enter the secret door, and soon he lit the fire fold to light the road ahead

Under his feet is a narrow dark passage, deep and tortuous, I don't know where it leads, but I feel that the yin qi is thick, and if I look closely, there are many white bones piled up in the middle of the road

"This is ......," the purple kite squatted down with Mo Siyu to check the white bones on the ground

Each of the bones had many scars, and around them were scattered some fragments of weapons and clothing, which had been a long time and only a few blood-stained rags, but the cold weapons were intact, except for some gaps in the blades left by the fight

"Did they break in and then be killed?" In fact, what Jin Ling wanted to ask was what they were killed by, in such a gloomy haunted mansion, and there was such a dark corridor, seeing such a pile of white bones, anyone would have a bad guess

Zhao Kaizhi, who was silent, seemed to have discovered something, checked all the weapons on the ground, and finally got a definite answer, and said in a deep voice: "They are officers and soldiers five hundred years ago."

"Officers and soldiers" Jin Ling was taken aback, and suddenly remembered what the shopkeeper had said that after the Fang family tragedy, the imperial court sent several groups of officers and soldiers down to investigate, but no one walked out of this place alive, could it be that these are those missing officers and soldiers

Seeing Jin Ling's doubts, Zhao Kaizhi further explained: "My ancestors left a lot of things left behind when they joined the army in the last generation, so I am still good at this aspect, and these weapons should be distributed to the barracks in the early days of the founding of this dynasty."

"They...... is to investigate the tragedy of the Fang family and then be ...... Those officers and soldiers who were killed by the ghosts in the secret passage," Jin Ling felt a sense of compassion in his heart, and hoped to get a negative answer, because no matter whether it was the unjust soul of the Fang family or the people under the command of the general surnamed Chen who killed these officers and soldiers, it was too undeserved, after all, these people were innocent

The purple kite didn't think about what Jin Ling thought of, and nodded and said, "It should be."

"They killed each other to death, and they were cruel to each other, as if they did it when they were mad," Mo Siyu inspected the bones on the ground, almost none of them were intact, and there were many hand bones and leg bones scattered on the ground, and those wounds were in line with the weapons next to them, and Mo Siyu made this inference after checking a few of them

Jin Ling and Zhao Kaizhi both gasped

"Is it the ghosts?" asked Jin Ling

Mo Siyou frowned, and was a little more vigilant around him: "It's possible that no matter what, everyone should be vigilant, and we must not be facing ordinary people."

Although this discovery made their trip more dangerous, but since they had already walked in, there was no reason to retreat now, so they kept walking inside, in fact, this dark passage was not as long as they imagined, but they were too careful to spend a lot of time to come to the end, and nothing strange happened along the way, but they always felt a cool breeze blowing on their backs

At the end of the room is a secret room that suddenly opened up, and there was an inextinguishable lantern lit in it, if it was lit by the Fang family when they were alive, it had been more than 500 years, and it seemed that the things enshrined in this secret room were very important to the other party's family, and that thing was placed in a circle surrounded by the lantern at this moment, and was placed on the stone platform and covered with a red cloth

Looking at the purple kite from its silhouette alone, they were a little surprised and suspicious that it seemed to be a sphere......

Purple Kite looked at Mo Siyou, took a step towards the stone platform, quickly grabbed his hand, shook his head, she didn't want him to take risks

"Don't worry," Mo Siyou patted her head to signal that she didn't have to be afraid, and then walked to the stone platform alone, hesitated for a moment, and he reached out to uncover the red cloth

Although they had been mentally prepared, when everything was presented in front of them, everyone was still taken aback, perhaps because although the red cloth was covered with their imaginary skull, it was not a pile of white bones, but a well-preserved fresh skull, even the eyelashes were quite a bit

Even Mo Siyou, who had always been calm and composed, was a little surprised

The head was wearing a general's crown, and its eyes were closed, as if it had just died, and it might not even be able to breathe

But Zhao Kaizhi saw that this general's crown was owned by the previous dynasty

He ...... It's the general surnamed Chen," Zhao Kaizhi said to them, and after he said it to them, he also came to such a conclusion with half a doubt, thinking about it with common sense, how could a person who died five hundred years ago, and a head that was cut off five hundred years ago be preserved so well, not even a single hair is missing

Mo Siyu looked around at Changming Lantern and said in a deep voice: "This may be the general's obsession, obsession, immortality, incorruptibility, and the Fang family's enshrinement here, it doesn't seem to be like showing off the spoils, but like ......."

“...... Sacrifice," the purple kite said these two words quietly after Mo Siyou's words

Jin Ling and Zhao Kaizhi looked at the purple kite indistinctly

"People who respect or revere themselves use the method of worship to express their respect, and the formation of these ever-bright lamps is a kind of ancient sacrificial ritual," Purple Kite explained to them, she is also a demon who has lived for more than a thousand years, and it is not strange to these things, there are too many strange things in the Six Realms, and human beings are indeed short-sighted, but now is not the time to laugh at human beings, because Purple Kite is also very confused in her heart

"Didn't the Fang family betray General Chen, why would they give up his head," Jin Ling asked puzzled

That's what a few others want to know

"Could it be that the rumors were wrong from the beginning," Mo Siyu muttered

Zhao Kaizhi squinted at Mo Siyou, trying to guess the meaning of Mo Siyou's words, and after a moment, he continued: "You mean that the soldiers surnamed Fang did not betray General Chen back then."

As soon as the words fell, the entrance that they left behind came like a muffled sound at the beginning, and everyone looked at each other in shock, and reacted for a moment, probably because the entrance was sealed

The purple kite suddenly felt a deep chill on her back, turned her head, and saw a white shadow floating towards her quickly, she subconsciously raised her hand and gave the white shadow a palm to repel it, and the white shadow also "pierced" its body, leaving a deep crack in the wall behind it

The rest of the people reacted and stood with the purple kite, but the white shadow did not immediately approach, but stood quietly opposite and looked at them

"Who are you," Zhao Kaizhi yelled angrily at Bai Ying, probably because he was choked by a powerful ghost before, and Zhao Kaizhi was angry when he looked at this thing now

"Death to the intruder," the white shadow said without saying a few words, and pounced on a few people, and then suddenly several more of the same white shadow circled around them

The flame of the ever-bright lamp began to tremble, as if blown by the wind, but the temperature in the secret room was getting lower and lower, and the warmth of the candle flame could not be felt at all

The whole chamber seemed to start spinning with the white shadow, and the sky was dark......

"Brother You" Purple Kite pressed her temples and reached out to pull Mo Siyou's sleeves, but she felt that everything in her mind was spinning and spinning...... Then fell into a blur, and a moment later, the world before her was lit up again

She saw herself standing on a battlefield, surrounded by corpses and countless people attacking the city with swords and guns

In the midst of the bloody rain, night quickly fell, a dim candle light up in the barracks, and the conversation between the two came from the darkness

"No, general, never"

"The adjutant general, listen to me, we can't hold on, there are still many innocent people in this city, we can't bother them, they will be buried with us, I can't surrender if Chen Chong dies, but the people are innocent, please."

"General......

"Good brother...... If it weren't for the last resort, brother, I wouldn't want you to bear the infamy of treason, but you have to remember what we are serving as soldiers for, if we can't even keep the people, what kind of battle will we fight, don't hesitate to do it."

"......" The man in military uniform held back the tears in his eyes, slowly pulled out the knife from the sheath, and swung it violently at the general in front of him

Blood spattered, five-foot lamp shadow swaying

In the darkness of the night, there was a shout that the general had been killed, the dragonless soldiers were in turmoil, the city gates were opened, and the enemy army took the city......
