All Chapters_Chapter 79: The Sacrifice of the Chen Family
"The Qiang River is not dry, and the Chen family is endless!"
I involuntarily repeated this sentence that my grandfather once said, the Qiang River is the Tsing Yi River where I am now, and why is the Qiang River water associated with the luck of our Chen family, I looked at the scene in front of me, and faintly had a trace of understanding in my heart.
More than twenty children's skeletons knelt on the huge altar in front of them, facing the white coffin in the middle, and a tank around the white coffin was filled with scarlet viscous blood, which gurgled and bubbled from time to time.
It looks dazzling.
My body was trembling, not only because of the strangeness of the scene in front of me, but also because I felt that the coffin in front of me seemed to be buried something very important to me, the blood in my body seemed to be boiling, and my heart was beating like thunder.
What exactly is inside this white coffin?
Even if I saw the white stone in the shrine of Tsing Yi Qiang Castle, the feeling of longing was not as strong as it is now, and even said, in addition to longing, I also had a trace of fear, and the things in it had a great relationship with me, and even he was very likely to be the ultimate secret of our Chen family, the truth where the Chen family had planned for more than three hundred years.
"Brother, come here! My brother! ”
There was another ethereal voice, and I watched as the child, who appeared to be my brother, stood next to a skeleton on the first altar, the white skeleton was small and delicate, the size of the child in the small flower jacket.
I followed the sound and walked over, stepping on the stone steps made of white jade, I walked up to the altar step by step, when I walked to the white skeleton, I was shocked to find that the child was gone, just now when I was under the altar, I could clearly see the child in a small flower jacket standing here, but when I walked up and walked to the skeleton, he disappeared without a trace, and only this skeleton with a faint white light appeared in front of me.
Just when I was in shock, the skeletal head on the skeleton in front of me suddenly turned, and the small white head made a "click" sound, and the two empty eyes looked at me like that.
Click!
It was as if a switch had been flinched, and the heads of the more than twenty or so white bones kneeling around the altar on the first floor all turned, and they looked at me with two hollow, fleshless eyes, saying that they were eyes, but in fact, they were more like two black and faint holes in the white bone head, which looked very gloomy and terrifying in the dim light around them.
I couldn't hold up a trace of fear in my heart at this time, I looked at the body in front of me that only had Sensen's white bones left, and asked softly, "Brother, is it you?" ”
There was not a sound in the silent hall except for my breathing, the child from the moment ago did not reappear, and not even when I walked up to the altar.
Click!
I don't know how much time passed, but the white head in front of me actually nodded its head lightly in front of my eyes, and the friction between the bones stimulated the eardrum of the person.
I couldn't hold it back any longer, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down my eyes, dripping to the ground, especially in this silent hall.
He's my brother!
The child who drowned in the Tsing Yi River when I was born has never appeared in my memory, and I can only get sporadic information about this child from the conversations between my mother and my father from time to time.
I couldn't stop feeling sad in my heart, and by this time, I could also see that he wasn't drowning at all, and what my grandfather said was a lie!
Everything in front of him is obviously related to our Chen family, and the white coffin on the altar may even be the secret of our Chen family, if my grandfather doesn't know this, no one can believe it.
Perhaps, it was my grandfather who brought my brother here and then ...... him
The extremely thick blood in the sink is the blood that our Chen family has accumulated for I don't know how many generations!
In the past 300 years of the Chen family, there have been more than 20 generations, and there are more than 20 skeletons kneeling around the altar, even if I am stupid, I can see that each of them was once a child of my Chen family, and the white bones are all fresh lives.
What is the Chen family planning, why, to use the flesh and blood and lives of more than 20 generations of my Chen family to sacrifice this white coffin in the middle, and what is buried in this coffin?
Tears blurred my eyes as I heard the frightened, helpless cries of a child, and I gritted my teeth and walked up the stone steps towards the white coffin at the top of the altar.
The white scales shimmered strangely in the ghostly light, and I rubbed my eyes, wiped the tears from my face, and looked at the coffin in front of me.
This is the fourth white coffin I have seen, from Tsing Yi Village to Tsing Yi Qiang Ancient Village, then to Qingcheng Mountain, and finally back to this Tsing Yi River, this kind of white coffin of the same appearance continues to appear in my life, the first three white coffins have buried this woman named Ruochu, and what is buried in the fourth white coffin in front of me?
I let out a long exhale, stretched out my hand and put it on the white coffin, and started to lubricate it delicately, a kind of reptilian scale armor, perhaps also made of the skin of a large snake.
The white coffin lay quietly on the altar, and I put my hands in the gap on the edge of the white coffin, trying to lift it, but just as I had the idea, my whole body suddenly trembled unnaturally, my limbs spasmed, my eyelids beat uncontrollably violently, and my heart felt like it was about to explode.
"Can't open!"
"Never open the white coffin in front of you!"
I don't know where the thought came out of nowhere in my heart, I don't know why this happened, but my mind is full of such thoughts at the moment, it seems that as long as I open the white coffin in front of me, I can understand the truth of the Chen family's plan, but at the same time, the most terrifying thing in the world will happen, and the things inside are not only related to me, but also related to the Chen family, and related to the mysterious man three hundred years ago.
I sat on the ground, gasping for breath, looking at the white coffin, curious, frightened, and terrified.
"Chen Zixuan! What are you doing standing here alone? ”
Just as I was looking at the white coffin in a daze, I suddenly felt someone call me, and at the same time a hand patted me on the back. I suddenly felt the world spinning, and the white coffin, altar, and skeleton in front of me began to twist in front of me, and finally burst open with a bang and turned into countless brilliant fragments floating in front of my eyes, and my eyes were blurred.
When I felt that I had regained control of my body and my eyesight was back to normal, I realized that the scene in front of me had changed to the bank of the Tsing Yi River at night.
The gust of night breeze blows, bringing a little coolness to the tired body, I looked at the stars in the sky and the rushing Tsing Yi River in front of me, and my heart was in a trance, was everything just now an illusion?
Is it just an illusion that I have because I miss my brother?
I couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion, but when I turned my head and saw a few water-stained footprints next to me, my pupils shrank suddenly, and I remembered the child who led me to the river.
My brother, Chen Zilong!
Perhaps it was because of his smile when I was by the river that I experienced this fantastic experience, there is a huge altar under the Tsing Yi River, and the altar is buried the biggest secret of my Chen family, the secret that needs to be sacrificed with the flesh and blood and life of each generation of the Chen family.
"Brother......
My mouth made a dream-like sound, and the thought of the poor child ached in my heart.
"Chen Zixuan, what are you doing? You call me brother, hehe, you should call me sister! ”
A small white hand shook in front of my eyes, and a girl in a goose-yellow t-shirt was standing in front of me and looking at me with a whimsical smile on her face.
I was a little helpless, the woman in front of me was actually the Li Xiaohui who was sitting with me on the bus, the girl who had eaten snacks for four hours along the way.
"It's nothing, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable."
I replied to her, and then squatted down and sat on a big rock on the side, looking at the Tsing Yi River not far away, and the sorrow in my heart kept surging.
"You're not happy, aren't you? Let's have something to eat, and if you're not happy, eat a snack, and your heart will be comfortable. ”
A small white hand holding a bag of pickled pepper phoenix feet stuffed into my hand, I turned my head to look, a beautiful little face bloomed with a spring breeze smile......
