I walked in the direction the old man pointed towards the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall. There is no such concept of a street in this kind of shanty town, and you can find a one-person-wide corridor between any two buildings, and when you pass through the moss-covered walls on both sides, you find that there is an oncoming corner in front of you. I walked dizzily through these cobweb-like alleys, but fortunately, the dark yellow glazed tiles of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall were always higher than the other buildings, and I would not end up getting lost.

I turned another road, and my front suddenly became clear. In the center of the layers of iron tile wooden sheds, the vermilion temple stands on the bluestone square, but the two majestic stone lions in front of the hall can no longer see their faces, and some small cracks faintly appear on the blue-gray stone, announcing the ups and downs experienced by this ancestral hall. The roof of the palace is covered with dark yellow glazed tiles, and decades of wind and rain have caused most of the yellow paint to fall off, and the dark blue tiles are directly exposed to the sun. The dark red wooden door was ajar, but the ancestral hall was pitch black, and there seemed to be no light that could break free from the endless darkness.

Squeezing through the crowd, I grabbed a heavily armed riot policeman and asked:

"What's going on here?"

The policeman glanced at me disdainfully through his thick helmet, and replied coldly:

"Sorry, no comment."

I glanced at the half-open door, and the darkness in it was not just darkness, wisps of demonic energy spread out, and the ghoul must be in this ancestral hall. But this has been cordoned off by the police, and how to get in is still a problem.

It's okay to lie to people, I'm good at this.

I turned my head, squinted, stared at the riot policeman, and said sharply:

"Huh, no comment? I don't think you can solve what happened here. ”

The riot policeman was obviously stunned for a moment, and a confused light flashed in his eyes, as if he was surprised by the rapid change in my face, and I naturally couldn't let him think about it, and even shouted:

"You can't be the master of this matter, call your captain over!"

His momentum weakened significantly, he nodded, said a few words into the walkie-talkie, and a rugged man in civilian clothes walked over. Before he could get near, I snapped:

"This is not an ordinary criminal case, if it is made public, the whole Shenzhen and Hong Kong should panic."

The rugged man was also stunned, and then said with a smile on his face:

"Lin Guoan, the captain of the special police detachment of Xiashengang City, may I ask who your Excellency is?"

"You don't care who I am, are you sure I am here to tell what happened in this ancestral hall?"

I ignored Lin Guoan's questioning and shouted with a cold face.

Lin Guoan obviously understood how much panic would be caused if he revealed what happened to the people, and he did not hesitate, and hurriedly signaled the police on both sides of the cordon to release him. He bowed over and invited me in.

"It's not any ordinary theft," I said, after a pause, "and it's not something you can solve. I dare say that even if you block this square, if that thing inside really makes trouble, the whole shanty town will suffer, and your men will not be able to stop it. ”

When Lin Guoan heard what I said, his face changed slightly, obviously extremely surprised that I knew the inside story of the case so well. As I said, this ancestral hall is not a simple theft case, when the local police station came to the scene for the first time to investigate, the monster that suddenly appeared in the underground black cave injured the police in the ancestral hall. The police who led the team directly reported to the director, and the director did not dare to delay when he heard this, so he directly called the office of the city bureau, and the city bureau held a meeting, and immediately sent their special police team over to stabilize the situation and block the scene. I originally thought that the special police would solve the monsters in the ancestral hall, but I didn't expect that the first batch of special police who attacked were inexplicably overturned to the ground before they walked to the door. Lin Guoan didn't dare to send anyone in again, so he had to set up a cordon, claiming that it was the police investigating the case, and at the same time reporting to the city bureau to see how to solve this strange case.

"What the gentleman said is that we have never seen that thing in it, and several of my brothers have been hurt by it."

He said resignedly.

I narrowed my eyes and said in a deep voice:

"I was asked by the city bureau to help you solve this problem, you don't care what my name is, you directors don't know my real name, you just need to remember, I can solve this problem."

"But...... Why didn't I get a notification from the city office? ”

Lin Guoan is still a little confused about my identity, he has been a SWAT captain for several years, but his superiors sent someone over but he didn't receive a notice, he always felt that something was wrong.

"You can solve the problems of your police system by yourself, I just want to tell you, if you don't deal with this thing as soon as possible, see who can take this responsibility."

I feigned impatience and said, with a cold sweat running down my back. It still takes a lot of courage to be a fake tiger in front of this special police officer, and if I am found pretending to be a government officer, I will have to enter the bureau.

But fortunately, the SWAT captain in front of him had already been overwhelmed by this ghoul, and after only hesitating for a moment, he put a smile on his face again, and said politely:

"Don't dare, sir, please."

I snorted coldly, and suddenly remembered the yellow dragon that had disappeared, so I asked again:

"Have you ever seen a fat man with dyed yellow hair? He's probably already infected by that stuff inside, and I don't know what will happen if I'm left in the middle of the city. ”

Lin Guoan obviously understood who I was talking about, and hurriedly replied:

"I've seen it, he advanced this ancestral hall for about fifteen minutes, and now he hasn't come out again."

"Entered the ancestral hall?" I frowned, "Why did you let him in?" ”

"We wanted to stop him, but that kid didn't know what evil he had fallen into, and he was always able to skillfully avoid my teammates, and these dozen or so people didn't stop him."

The SWAT captain in front of him said with a bitter face, he understood that it was his dereliction of duty to let unrelated people into the area cordoned off by the police, and if something happened to that person under the noses of their police, the police uniform on his body would be worn to the end.

My heart sank, I didn't expect that this yellow dragon had been infected by the ghoul's demonic energy to this extent, it seems that this ghoul is not some brainless monster, it knows that I will find him sooner or later, so it will control the hostage first, so that it can make me fearful when fighting me.

Anyway, let's see this ghoul first.

I straightened my face, turned my head to Lin Guoan and said:

"You send someone to guard the gate of the ancestral hall, and no matter what sound there is inside, you can't take half a step."

"Sir, then you ......"

"Leave me alone, it's a burden for you to follow me." Without waiting for Lin Guoan to finish speaking, I interrupted him, stared into his eyes, and said word by word, "Remember, no matter what noise comes from inside, don't come in." ”

After speaking, I didn't care about Lin Guoan's reaction, and strode towards the gate of the ancestral hall. Lying in front of the SWAT captain who really fought on the battlefield, he was still panicked in his heart, and if he said a few more words, he would be exposed sooner or later.

Pushing open the door of the ancestral hall, a musty smell wafted into my nostrils, and it seemed that no one had come to worship in this ancestral hall for a long time. With the sunlight streaming in through the door, I took a general scan of the room. On the altar that originally enshrined one hundred and eighty spirit tablets, the fragments of wooden cards, the remains of candles, and a little blue-black demonic qi were mixed together, the offerings placed in front of the offering table were already a little moldy, thick incense ash and even the corpses of a few flies were deposited in the incense burner, the corners of the walls were covered with white cobwebs fluttering in the wind, the bluestone floor was full of dust, and even a thin layer of moss grew in the damp places in the corners.

This Chen family ancestral hall, if it falls in a deep mountain, it is estimated that there will be only broken walls and ruins long ago.

But what made me most curious was the deep black hole in the center of the bluestone floor, although I couldn't see the light inside, I could still feel the extremely rich demonic aura gathered in it, and I didn't have to think about it, the ghoul was hiding here. It seems that it is really like what the old man said, the Chen family buried all the ancestors who ascended to heaven under this ancestral hall, otherwise the ghouls would not have bothered to come here. However, I was a little surprised that there were such burial mounds in the middle of the city.

A glowing spell was pinched out of his hand, and with a push of his palm, it turned into a ball of golden light and flew into the cave, dispelling the endless darkness that was originally filled with the crater without a trace. This is a light spell, and it is a supporting spell like the Forgetfulness Charm that helps Xun Qingzi forget his terrifying memories, and it has no other use than to dispel the darkness.

With this light spell, I was able to see the inside of the cave. The cave was not as deep as I had imagined, but it was a passage that sloped downward, but the walls were made of concrete, and the place where the feet were stepped on made of simple steps directly on the mound of earth. It seems that this is not the work of a ghoul, but a secret passage to the tomb of the Chen family, but the way this ghoul opened this secret passage is extremely rude.

I don't know how long I walked underground, a stone gate more than two people high appeared in front of me, but the bluestone more than ten centimeters thick was destroyed only the corners, and the strong demonic aura mixed with the smell of rotten meat filled my nasal cavity. I commanded the light of the light spell to break into this stone gate, but it was a huge burial chamber, in which dozens of coffins made of ebony were neatly placed, and the coffins were engraved with different names of Chen clansmen, some of them had been dusty for a long time, and even the wood was a little rotten, while some were still as new as new. The roof of the tomb was so high that I was a little frightened, and even the light spell I cast could not illuminate the roof, and the dark darkness hung over it, and I couldn't see where the roof of the tomb extended.

After scanning the entire burial chamber, there was surprisingly no trace of ghouls, and there was no trace of the yellow dragon.

"Am I wrong? They weren't hiding here? ”

I thought to myself, but the demonic aura in this tomb is extremely strong, and if there are no monsters, the ghosts will not believe it.

Carefully walking through the neatly displayed wooden coffin, under the illumination of the light spell, the handwriting on the wooden coffin is clearly visible, although some have become blurred because of the age, but if you carefully distinguish it, you can still barely see which ancestor of the Chen family is lying in this coffin.

"Chen Zhijun, died ...... 1892"

"Chen Ge, died in 1907......"

"Chen Yanxing, died in 1910......"

“……”

Walking further in, the stele hall crane deer that had been blurred or even disappeared on the coffin in the early years became clear, and the weapons of the dark eight immortals were also depicted quite exquisitely, looking at the epitaph engraved on the coffin, I found that all the old people who had died a few years ago.

"It's ......"

The coffin on the top caught my attention, this coffin was different from the other coffins in the tomb, there were no cranes and deer in the stele hall, no pines and cypresses, and no weapons held by the eight dark immortals, just a square piece of wood, and even the place where the epitaph should have existed on the coffin was empty.

I find it extremely strange that it is very reasonable to say that in today's society, there are very few people who prepare coffins while they are still alive, and besides, even if the coffin is prepared in order to prevent people from suddenly encountering a coffin in middle age, why it is carried into this tomb dozens of meters deep underground without even a little decoration, I really can't figure it out.

took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and stroked the upper three pages of the coffin, but it was piercing cold.

"Not good!"

My face changed and I jerked back.

The coffin was under my eyelids, bursting open.
