Chapter 268: Zhao Family Ancestral Hall

"It's Mr. Yi and Uncle Tan!" When the two of them got closer, Mu Yuan recognized them.

Yi Youdao and Tan Xiaosheng just walked over, and two more people ran out of the ditch on one side, a man and a woman, it was Luo Qiren and Jiang Bixue. The two of them endured in the ditch for a long time, and they had already rested, but they didn't know what was going on outside, so they reconnoitred several times, and when they were about to come out, they found that there were several figures running in the woods and in the village, and they scared the two back for a while, until they heard Mu Yuan's voice, and the two dared to appear.

"Why did you two end up in the ditch?" Long Ling'er smiled and asked, "Did you go to do something bad?" ”

"A dog can't spit out ivory!" Jiang Bixue waved the wooden stick in her hand.

Seeing Hongli, Tan Xiaosheng and Yi Youdao were both stunned, and looked up and down for a long time.

"Are you Ling'er's grandmother, Hongli?" Yi Youdao asked.

Hongli didn't answer, just nodded slightly.

"What? Little witch, is this your grandmother? Jiang Bixue exclaimed, looking up and down, back and forth, "Why does it look like a sister, I thought it was a big witch!" ”

"Blue blood, this is an elder, don't talk nonsense!" Yi Youdao hurriedly stopped, Jiang Bixue's last sentence was right, this is not only a big witch, but also a female devil, known for her ruthlessness in the rivers and lakes, this is the master who raises his hand and wants people's lives.

"Teacher, how are you doing over there? Are you all right? ”

"It's fine!" Yi Youdao waved his hand, "Now it's being taken care of unreasonably, but let that cat-faced old lady run away!" What about the Silent River? ”

"Let my grandmother clean it up!"

"Dead?"

"Not dead!" Long Ling'er smiled, "But it's about the same, it is estimated that this time it will not be a month to lie down, and there will be no one who will not be able to get out of bed for a year and a half!" ”

"Teacher, Master Tan, you take Brother Luo and Bixue back quickly, so as not to have another trouble!" Mu Yuan said, "Ling'er and I went to the ancestral hall with my aunt to find out the whereabouts of the cat-faced old lady!" ”

"What? You're still going to kill people? Tan Xiao was taken aback, "Mu Yuan, forget it, so as not to make another grievance!" ”

"Master Tan, I also know this, but the grudge has been settled, and it will be difficult to resolve it later!" Mu Yuan said, "If you don't take the opportunity to completely eliminate this place now, after the news spreads, I am worried that Sister Ran and the people in the village will be implicated!" ”

"Well, that's good!" Hongli nodded with satisfaction, Mu Yuan's thoughts seemed a little more ruthless to the scholar who talked about Xiaosheng, but it was quite temperamental to her.

After Hongli said this, he walked towards the village without looking back, and Mu Yuan and Long Ling'er had to follow quickly.

Although it was tossed in the middle of the night, it was only three o'clock in the morning, and everyone in the village was still asleep. , but what makes Mu Yuan strange is that there is not even a dog barking in the village, I don't know if Hongli used some means. Mu Yuan and Long Ling'er both knew the location of the ancestral hall, but Hongli was obviously more familiar, and after turning a few corners in the many alleys, the ancestral temple of the Zhao family appeared in front of the three of them.

The ancestral hall of the Zhao family has been repaired quite generously, even today it can be regarded as a cultural relic worthy of protection, the whole house covers an area of more than ten acres, surrounded by trees and flowers, but the house is slightly decayed. The three of them walked through the archway in front of the house and went straight to the gate of the ancestral hall. The door of the ancestral hall is not closed, the courtyard is hung with white lanterns, the candles are flickering, and the main hall is densely filled with black spirit cards, and the candles on the table are fluttering, just like the remains of the cat-faced old lady.

In this kind of place, if a timid person comes in, he will probably be scared into a mess.

Hongli ignored these things, and seeing that there was no one in the ancestral hall, she felt that she had saved a lot of trouble, so she went around to the back of the offering table, observed carefully for a while, and opened a secret door.

"Grandma, how do you know about this secret door? Have you been here before? ”

"No, I saw Jinghe and that old woman sneaking around before, and when I walked behind this altar, I disappeared!"

Below the secret door was a corridor, and nothing could be seen in the dark, so Makihara took out a flashlight and shone it inside, and found that it was a stone staircase road. Hongli protected the two of them behind him, put a black snake in first, and himself slowly followed. Walking down for more than ten meters, a few people can see the appearance below, this is more than a basement, it is not too much to describe as a maze.

Corridors, secret rooms, this underground is much more complicated than the above.

"No wonder there were so many fewer people last time I came here, they all hid here!" Hongli said hatefully.

The three of them searched underground, and almost all the rooms were empty, and even if there were some clutter, they were in tatters that no one wanted.

"Grandma, it's blood!" Long Ling'er squatted down and looked at the puddle of water stains, "And it's just flowed down!" ”

"It must be here, hurry up and chase it!" Hongli said and chased after him in the direction of the blood droplets.

After turning a few corners, Mu Yuan found more and more blood stains on the ground, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Why is there no blood stains in the entrance just now?" ”

"The three caves of the cunning rabbit, such a big underground palace, there must be more than one exit!" Hongli said, "Otherwise, once the entrance is blocked, won't it become a turtle caught in an urn!" ”

"Grandma, here!" Long Ling'er pushed open a door and screamed.

Hongli and Muyuan hurriedly stepped forward, this is a forty or fifty square meter hole, there are several bed boards in it, and there are several corpses lying on it, an old lady with gray hair is leaning on the bed board, her face is pale, which makes that face look even more terrifying.

Seeing someone break in, the cat-faced old lady struggled a few times, but because of excessive blood loss, she was too weak to move.

"Say, where are all the people who evacuated from here hiding now?" Hongli asked.

"I won't live long anyway, so I won't tell you!"

"Believe it or not, I've slaughtered all your sons!" Hongli threatened.

"I believe it! I know you, there were four people in Zhaojia Village back then, and you were among the people who robbed my Zhao family's ghost fire core more than ten years ago! The grimace old lady smiled sadly, "But it's useless for you to kill them, they were still young at that time, and I was the only one who knew the inside story!" If it weren't for my wife's reluctance to leave this last batch of eight stiffs, I would have left a long time ago! It's a pity, although the eight stiffs have been practiced, they have been half ruined! It's okay, let them accompany me to the Hades Palace, it can be regarded as a companion on the Huangquan Road! ”

"Ghost Fire Core?"

"Right at that table behind you!" Hongli said, "Ten years ago, your master worked hard and traveled all over the country to collect these things, and then worked with me to practice the fire!" ”

Mu Yuan turned to look, and saw eight oil lamps on the offering table on one side, and in the oil there were flames the size of eight match heads, which could be extinguished as long as the wind blew slightly.

"Flames? You've become a firebolt? The old lady suddenly came to her senses.

"Of course!" Hongli said proudly, "Back then, we traveled all over the north and south of the river, mass graves, thousand-year-old tombs, as long as it was a place with a lot of anger, almost all of them went, and it was not easy to find the ghost fire core, aren't your Zhao family also collecting this with great difficulty?" ”

"That's right!" The cat-faced old lady nodded, "Corpses need to be moved, and the ghost fire core is an indispensable link, but this thing is too difficult to find, and it takes a lot of time to cultivate, otherwise this corpse is everywhere, why don't we worry about not being able to practice zombies!" ”

"Hmph, the side door is left!" Hongli snorted, "The fire was originally meant to punish the ghosts, but you hollowed out your mind to divide it, and then transferred the spirit to control the walking dead!" Muyuan, take away all these ghost fire cores! ”

"You dare!"

Although the cat-faced old lady knew that she couldn't stop it, she was still unwilling to see her baby snatched away, she struggled to stand up, pinched the mantra and wanted to control the four zombies on the bed board, but the four zombies just moved, and the cat-faced old lady fell to the ground with a "poof", and blood immediately gushed out from the wounds on her shoulders and back.

"Dead?" Long Ling'er had just put on a posture to meet the enemy, but she didn't expect the situation to take a big turn.

Hongli walked over to check it and said, "If you don't die, you won't be alive for a few minutes, you have already run out of oil and the lamp is dry, so after such a struggle, the wound bursts, and you go directly to the ghost gate!" ”

"It's a bit of a tragedy!" Long Ling'er sighed, and then she giggled, "If the king of Hades asks, I don't know if she will kill herself or him!" ”
