Chapter 27: An An's narration

Looking at the ashes and dust that fell on the inside and outside of the humanoid sarcophagus, Yuan Mengru and I were struck by lightning and were speechless for a long time.

An An watched the ashes in his hand slip from between his fingers, stood up in despair, and suddenly roared on his back, hissing and screaming!

Before I could figure out how to comfort her, I saw An An rush towards the corpse of the high priest Deco like a madman, and in an instant the pieces of flesh and stumps flew around in the secret room.

Just as An An was venting frantically, a strong arm hugged her tightly, "Ah! She screamed, but the arm held her tighter.

"Enough!" I whispered in An An's ear, "He's dead, it's all over!" ”

"Ahh An An's mournful screams gradually turned into whimpering cries, and her arms no longer struggled, but hugged me, buried her head in my arms and cried happily.

I don't know how much grief and grievances are hidden in her heart, at least at this moment, I can empathize with her. So I forgave her for hiding something from us. I'm sure she'll explain it to us when the time is right.

Yuan Meng saw An An crying tightly in my arms, and didn't say anything, but I knew that she wasn't jealous, otherwise she would have said it. This is our tacit understanding.

She silently packed up some things beside me and An An, and then quietly walked out of the secret room and waited for us outside.

Finally, An An was almost vented. Covering his face, he gently pushed me. I knew she still needed to calm down, so I went out to be with Yuan Meng.

We waited in the outer secret room for three minutes before An An wiped away her tears and walked out. At this time, her state had completely calmed down, but her face was slightly pale.

"I know a secret way to leave, come with me!" After An An came out, he looked at us and said extremely flatly.

Before we could speak, she picked up the oil lamp that the high priest on the ground, Deco, had left in the center of the mysterious pattern, and walked out on her own.

Her expression was extremely flat and a little surprising, Yuan Meng glanced at me, I nodded to her, indicating that it was okay, and then took her hand and followed.

Coming to the underground cathedral, An An took us to an inconspicuous dark passage with a familiar car, and did not go far, and there was a T-junction in front of us, and there was a dark dark passage on the left and right that did not know where it led.

I was wondering whether to go left or right, and An An walked straight to the wall in front of me, reaching out and pressing a piece of masonry just enough to reach.

Immediately after, a series of jerky noises came from behind the brick wall in front of her, and the wall shook suddenly, and the seemingly tightly knit wall suddenly cracked a crack, just enough for one person to pass through.

An An didn't greet us, and walked in with the lamp.

Of course, Yuan Meng and I will not fail to follow. Passing through the brick wall, I don't know what mechanism was touched, and the crack behind me actually creaked and closed automatically. When you come to the wall, you will find yourself in an underground tunnel with equilateral triangles made of boulders on top and bottom.

This structure is the preferred form for dealing with landslides, and it appears that the site has been deep underground.

An An was guiding with an oil lamp in front, and Yuan Meng and I followed not far behind. The tunnel is getting deeper and deeper, and it is not a straight line, and although it is not clear, it can be clearly felt that it changes randomly along the course of the underground rock formations. And this secret passage is surprisingly long.

At first I thought I would be able to get out soon, but when we walked for almost half an hour without seeing the exit, I was shocked by the length of the tunnel. The amount of work to be built is huge now, not to mention the medieval period, when the technology and capabilities were extremely backward. At that time, it was estimated that it would take hundreds of years.

Just when I felt that the road ahead was still far away, An An, who was leading the way in front, suddenly disappeared.

Yuan Meng and I were startled, took two quick steps, and found that there was an exit in front of us.

The exit is relatively low, and it can only accommodate one person on its side. Yuan Meng and I squeezed over one after the other, and found that An An had already thrown away the oil lamp and was looking up.

We looked up and saw that we were in a dry well. The mouth of the well is covered with countless vines and vines, which is very hidden. I don't know how many years this dry well has been dry, and there is a thick layer at the bottom of the well under my feet, and it is very soft to step on. And now that it's dawn, the light under the well is still very dim because the wellhead is obscured. But it's a thousand times better than the dark passage.

Visual inspection of the wellhead more than ten meters from the ground, belongs to the height of not high or low, I turned my face to look at the wall of the well, all large and small gravel enclosure, the gap is very large, not to mention us, even older children can easily be afraid to climb up.

An An glanced upwards and didn't climb up right away. Instead, he turned to face me and Yuan Meng.

"I'm going out soon!" She said, "There are some things I don't want to hide anymore, and I'm sure you've already found out, but you just haven't asked." ”

I knew she would explain, so I smiled kindly and noncommittal. But Yuan Meng's expression was serious, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Before I explain, let me tell you a story!" An An said sincerely, "Once upon a time, there was a girl who lived in a castle, and her father and mother not only loved each other, but also loved her even more. This girl felt that she was the happiest person in the world. But all happiness was shattered after the appearance of a woman. That woman was Elizabeth. She has a charm beyond the ordinary, and the girl's father was captivated at the first sight of her. Deeply caught in love and unable to extricate himself.

The girl's mother wept all day and all night, and even the white violets in the castle withered. In the autumn of that year, the girl's mother contracted the terrible Black Death, and she would not have died, but she refused treatment and finally left the world that had left her heartbroken during the snowy season.

The saddest thing for the girl is far more than that, after the death of her mother, her father actually gave the whole castle to the woman, and then disappeared completely.

That one was called Elizabeth. The woman of the Countess of Bartory drove the girl out of the castle that belonged to her as soon as her father left.

The helpless girl is taken in by a kind farmhouse near the castle. But suddenly a large number of maids began to be recruited in the castle, and from then on, the girl's life was no longer quiet, and there were always people who wanted to seize her and sell her to the castle.

There is no way out for the girl who can only go away to seek refuge with distant people. Since then, the girl has never set foot on the soil of her homeland. ”

An An finished speaking, very calmly, as if telling someone else's story.

"That girl is you," I whispered.

An An nodded, "I don't know why my father cruelly abandoned me after my mother died. All I knew was that he was looking for something, but he didn't know that it was actually on the woman named Elizabeth. ”

"The Book of Nord?" I seem to get it. If this is the holy book that Dracula is looking for, then I know what his ultimate purpose is.

"You also know the 'Book of Nords'?" An An asked in astonishment.

"Not only do I know, but we've been searching for it!" I smiled and said, "And to tell you a secret, if you find the Book of Nord, you may find the legendary 'Door to Time and Space'." ”

An An gasped, she looked at me and An An in astonishment and stammered, "How do you know this, are you the legendary old corpse of the East?" ”

Yuan Meng and I looked at each other and smiled, then nodded.

"How is it possible, how is it possible?" An An was surprised to be confused, she rushed up very rudely and reached out to touch my and Yuan Meng's chests, "There is no heartbeat, there is really no heartbeat, oh my God!" ”

Yuan Meng saw An An touching his left chest and not letting go, he was a little embarrassed, and said with a slight red face, "It's time to let go!" ”

"Oh yes," An An hurriedly let go, and apologized embarrassedly.

"How did you know about the existence of our Eastern Old Corpse?" I asked curiously. I still remember the doppelganger of Yuan Meng's father, Yuan Tiangang, who told us personally on the ancient boat of the grave mountain, to go to Europa to find the bloodthirsty people. Could it be that An'an is the clue we have been looking for but can't seek?

"I heard my uncle say that the old corpse of the East knew a man from the ancient East, and he knew it from his mouth." An An recalled.

Yuan Meng grabbed his pants suddenly, and his voice changed so nervously, "Then did your uncle say that the Oriental he knows, what is it called?" ”

"It seems to be surnamed Zheng, what's the name?" An An couldn't remember it for a while.

"Is it called Zheng He?" I said out loud.

"Yes, it's Zheng He, he's a great navigator!" An An clapped his hands and said.

"Yay!" I waved my hands excitedly, and then hugged Yuan Meng tightly. We searched for more than a year, and finally we had a clue.

That's right, Zheng He must have learned about the Book of Nord through An An's uncle, and then came back to tell Yuan Tiangang, and then Yuan Tiangang went to Europe for the Book of Nord. Connected, the clues from hundreds of years ago are finally connected. The Dracula clan is the bloodthirsty people that Yuan Tiangang asked us to find.

Slowly, I suddenly remembered something, "Isn't the Book of Nord in the hands of your Dracula?" ”

An An said helplessly, "In the Middle Ages and before, the Holy Book of the Blood Clan 'Book of Nord' was indeed in the hands of our Dracula clan, but in the Middle Ages, the conflict between the Blood Clan and the Holy See was huge, and there was a split within the Blood Clan, and the elders of the clan felt that possessing the Blood Clan's holy relics would bring disaster to the whole clan, so they handed it over." I traced it for hundreds of years and found several elders who were scattered all over the world, and I got some less specific information. ”

"What is it?" I couldn't help but ask.

An An was just about to speak, but when he heard a noisy noise suddenly sounding above the dry well, we quickly closed our mouths and looked up curiously together, who was passing by above?
