In the middle of the night, the vast forest mansion was as silent as if there were no living creatures.

There were two corpses parked in the ancestral hall of the Lin family, and in one more day, it would be the day of burial.

The white cloth everywhere reflected the cold moonlight, and the entire ancestral hall seemed gloomy.

The patrolling housekeeper glanced at it hurriedly, and after making sure that no one was coming, he shrunk his shoulders and hurried away.

"Oh, could it be that someone really came to steal the body......"

Outside the sealed room, a small flame quietly ignited in a corner that no one cared about, burning quickly along the beige mark on the ground.

At the moment when the "fire dragon" on the ground began to burn, a black shadow quickly floated towards the ancestral hall.

The third lady has not been sleeping well these days.

The night before, the old lady called her to the bed and told her a shocking secret, which directly shocked her heart.

The home that was very familiar and felt very kind suddenly became very strange, looking at the room and tile, grass and trees here, she only felt disgusted.

The old lady's health was getting worse and worse, and she felt that her time was running out, so she chose to tell the third lady the secret of the Lin family.

At the same time, she made a last word, and after her death, she handed over the entire Lin family to the third lady to be in charge.

The third lady can marry, but she must recruit a son-in-law, and first consider orphans who have no father or mother.

All this is to ensure that after her death, the Lin family can still survive the foundation.

But the third lady didn't understand very much, what was the need for such a Lin family to insist on inheritance?

What she didn't know was that after her, the old lady also secretly met her eldest aunt.

The two also talked for a long time, but the old lady withdrew from the people around her, and no one knew what they were talking about.

The third lady was very confused, and she couldn't sleep no matter what, so she got up and sat in front of the window of her room.

Suddenly, she saw what seemed to be an unusual light outside.

She smacked to her feet and saw that it was a flash of fire!

Outside, on the pitch-black ground, a fiery dragon was snaking its way forward at a rapid pace.

"Ahh

The third lady screamed,

"Come on! It's on fire! ”

The screams spread very quickly in the quiet night, and the surrounding wings gradually lit up, and the people nearby hurriedly dressed up.

"Third sister, where is the fire?"

The first to arrive was the nurse of the third lady.

Hearing her say this, I thought her room was on fire.

The third lady's face was full of horror, and she trembled and stretched out her hand to point to the ground outside.

The nurse was also startled when she saw it, and at this time the fire dragon had burned to the front, and went straight to the old lady's room.

"Grandma!"

Looking at the direction where the fire dragon was going, the third lady suddenly realized that this thing was going for the old lady.

Mrs. Lin's mental state is not good these days, she spends more time asleep and less time awake.

Tonight, she fell asleep before dinner, and was woken up by the third lady and others who came in a hurry.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Grandma, are you alright?"

The third lady helped the old lady up from the bed.

As soon as they ran to the old lady's side, they realized that the fire dragon had just passed by the door of her room, and then moved forward.

The third lady instructed the family members who came with her to continue chasing the fire dragon to see where he was going to burn, and she took a few female dependents to check on the old lady's situation.

As a result, the old lady was out of the situation at all, and it was obvious that this "evil thing" was not coming for her.

The old lady looked confused, and before she could ask anything, she heard a family member running to report,

"Third Miss, the firelight is heading towards the ancestral hall!"

"Ancestral Hall?"

The third lady narrowed her eyes, thinking of the corpses parked in the ancestral hall,

"Oh no, it turns out this thing is going for the corpse!"

The old lady didn't ask any more, and directly turned over and got out of bed, letting the third lady support herself.

"Quick, take me to see it!"

The third lady wanted to persuade her grandmother to rest, so she left it to herself, but the old lady was very stubborn and refused.

The Lin family is destined to be unpeaceful tonight, how can she bear to stay in the rear and listen to the news?

The third lady had no choice but to help her in the direction of the ancestral hall.

The movement of the commotion also alarmed the eldest aunt, and he also hurried to the ancestral hall with the crowd, his thin body seemed to be about to fall.

"Grandma, third sister!"

Seeing that the old lady and the third lady also came over, he hurriedly greeted him.

"You saw that too?"

The third lady nodded, "I don't know where it burned from." ”

Unexpectedly, the eldest aunt saw the source,

"I look at it like it was burned out of the eldest young master's room, and I have already sent someone over there to check the situation."

Hearing that it was that room, everyone's hearts sank.

"That room, the ancestral hall ......"

The third lady muttered softly, her brows furrowed more and more,

"Could it be that the little nephew wants to tell us something?"

It's useless to guess, it's better to go to the ancestral hall to find out.

Most of the people of the Lin family were concentrated in the ancestral hall, and when the third lady arrived, the fire on the ground had been extinguished, and the ancestral hall was dark.

"Why don't you light the lights?"

The old lady grabbed a family member and asked.

"It's ordered, old lady," said the housekeeper, whose face was full of panic, "I've been trying to light the lamp since just now, but the door is evil, and the candles in the ancestral hall can't be lit!" ”

"Idiot!" The old lady scolded,

"The lights won't come on, don't you know where else to get the lights?"

"Hey, yes, yes!" The family reacted, and after agreeing a few times, he hurriedly beckoned the two of them to run away.

"Grandma." The third lady was a little scared, and subconsciously grabbed the old lady beside her.

The eldest aunt was more bold, and walked forward to take out a candle in the ancestral hall, and took it out to check it by the moonlight.

The candles used in the ancestral hall are made of the best material, and even if the wick is moistened with water, it can still be lit when the fire is seen again.

The eldest aunt reached out and grinded the wick and found that it was coated with wax.

I don't know if the wax oil is scraped off the candle body.

Candles can burn with the help of a wick, and pure wax cannot be lit.

He had some idea in his mind, the ghost should not have such a brain, and came up with a way to seal the wick with wax.

Someone who can do this kind of trickery, he already has a choice in his heart.

The family who went to carry the lantern elsewhere had not yet returned, and the third lady helped the old lady to stand outside the ancestral hall.

After the eldest aunt saw through the trick on the candles, he instructed the family members around him to take out a few candles and scrape off the wax and oil on the wick by the moonlight.

The family members were operating, and suddenly the fire in the ancestral hall was lit up again.

This kind of fire is different from the fire dragon just now, it looks like something is burning.

The Lin family's houses are all wooden structures, especially the ancestral hall, because they were built relatively early, and there are no fire protection devices.

If this fire burns, the Lin family will have to prepare to rebuild the ancestral hall tomorrow.

The old lady was about to ask the family to extinguish the fire, when she saw a woman's figure appear in the brilliant firelight!
