Chapter 19: The Past of the Hua Family

After half an hour, the Acropolis was already anxious and looked out of the store.

Finally, in the crowd, I saw the summer night in the shape of a hawker and looked in. Then he ran out and shouted, "Catch that man!" The crowd of catchers also squeezed through the crowd to catch the summer night.

After running a few streets and sneaking into an alley, the two stopped.

The Acropolis said to the pursuers: "Go back and inform the Divine Blessing Hall and the people. It is only said that there are people who sell counterfeit medicines in the name of Shinhekudo. He has now been arrested. Go ahead. ”

The crowd of catchers returned in a daze.

The Acropolis came to the side of the summer night and said, "What did you find?"

Summer Night informed the Acropolis of what he had seen in the Secret Passage.

When I arrived at the end of the secret passage, I saw that the lights were bright and wide.

A hundred-zhang stone statue in the shape of a human stands in the center. Hundreds of people are carving and carving on the wooden frame surrounding the stone statue. Dozens of people carry waste materials. More than a dozen people were carving something on the ground. There are also more than a dozen people in white who are supervising the work. And Wen Luo was sitting on the sidelines.

The summer night etherealized Izumo blended into the shadows, and then climbed the stone wall. After coming to the high place, I saw the things carved by more than ten people on the ground. It's actually the magic circle seen in the Loulan Sword Room!

Summer Night had an epiphany about what he wanted to do, and he immediately returned.

Acropolis asked, "If there is something wrong with the circle, why don't you wait for the opportunity to make trouble?"

Xia Ye said: "According to the direction and distance in the secret road, the huge stone chamber should be in Meizhu Mountain. If he acts rashly, he will definitely attract the sect leader and Wu Tao. If there is a big battle, none of the nearly 100 people in the stone room will be spared. ”

Acropolis nodded yes, "What is the purpose of the circle?" ”

Xia Ye replied: "That is the Zhenling Array that Loulan saw, which once sealed the King of Loulan for a hundred years. And the stone chamber magic circle was several times larger than that of Loulan. Reminiscing about the trip to Loulan. Mo Stop is defeated by a hundred ghosts. The Sect Master may be preparing for this. From this point of view, the sect leader may want to reproduce the Loulan blood pool......"

The Acropolis was very surprised, "Ten thousand blood sacrifices, one step up?" ”

Summer Night nodded yes.

The Acropolis was still surprised, "I didn't expect those rumors to be true......"

Summer Night frowned, hugging her arms and thinking hard about how to break the game.

After a moment, the Acropolis came back to his senses from the shock, "That's right. There's something I forgot to mention. At noon, I went to check the Hua family's secret room again. Some findings. ”

So the two returned to the secret room of the Hua family.

With a torch, he entered the secret room under the secret door, and the smell of rotting corpses was still strong. Going deeper along the straight, the summer night saw that there were iron prisons on both sides. Although the corpses had been removed, there were still blood stains on the walls, claw marks, and unrecognizable filth on the ground.

On a summer night, I walked and remembered that I walked to the end of the secret room, and there were twenty cells on both sides.

At the end of the chamber was an iron door, but when it opened, it was an extraordinarily tidy room.

The room is about five zhang square. In the center is a long table with belts embedded in many places. On the left wall is an empty wooden cabinet, and on the right wall is an entire wall of medicine cabinets. Summer Night guesses that this is the place to experiment.

Xia Ye looked at the secret room that had been cleaned up by the government, and asked the acropolis, "Where is the new discovery?" ”

The Acropolis led him around the long case and walked to the corner of the opposite wall, "There's a secret door here. Because it was too thick, I couldn't notice the abnormality before. I don't know where the mechanism is, so I can only forcibly push it away. "Pressed his hands against the wall, kicked the ground with both feet, and pushed the secret door with all his strength.

The secret door was gradually pushed, moving little by little, and the harsh and dull grinding sound echoed through the room.

Seeing this, Xia Ye stepped forward to help, but found that even if he used all his strength, he couldn't make the secret door open much faster. I can't help but sigh that the Acropolis has such a strange power. Fortunately, I didn't have a hard time with him at the beginning.

After the stone door was slowly pushed open, dust flew up. Holding the torch and looking at it, it was just a smaller secret room. Among them was an offering table, on which the fruits and vegetables and pastries had long since rotted, and the white candles on both sides had long since burned into wax water. There is a tablet on it.

After taking a closer look at the summer night, he found that the spirit card actually said "Beloved Daughter Hua Qingdai Spirit Position". The incense in front of the row is full of incense ash, which shows that people often come to worship.

If Hua Qingdai is indeed dead, then the landlord is not Hua Qingdai. After being dazed, Xia Ye thought for a moment, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart, "Is it ......?"

Summer Night turned to the Acropolis and asked, "How is Hua Jiangli?" ”

Acropolis crossed his arms and said: "On weekdays, he is kind and kind. I just like pomp and circumstance, and I have a good face. ”

Xia Ye asked again: "What is so strange about Miss Hua Qingdai since she was a child?"

Acropolis said: "In front of people, she is a beautiful lady, dignified and decent. But I heard that I like swords in private, and I practice well. But when she was sixteen, no one saw her. Since then, he has been in the boudoir every July, and has not been seen by anyone. ”

Xia Ye recalled Su Mu's simple smile, and her steps softened in panic. If it weren't for the Acropolis's quick eyes, I am afraid that he would have fallen to the ground.

Acropolis hurriedly asked, "What do you think of?"

Xia Ye hurriedly waved his hand and reluctantly stood up, "It's still unsure, I'm going to go to Hua Lao to ask about this matter." So saying, he walked out.

After scurrying through the streets on the ridge, the summer night returned to the dilapidated house.

Summer nights calm the mind and soothe the breath.

Hua Lao curled up under the porch and exhaled a puff of white smoke, "It seems that you know everything." ”

Summer Night said word by word: "Six years ago." Hua Qingdai and Su Mu made an appointment to run away from home and roam the rivers and lakes. But there was an accident, and Hua Qingdai died. Am I right? ”

Hua Lao did not refute.

"Huajiang Li's reputation is the most important to the Hua family, and it cannot be damaged because of this incident. So you can't let others know. "Say it again on a summer night.

Hua Lao's figure was more curved and he sighed.

Xia Ye said coldly: "I have seen a kind of medical technique in the collection of books collected in the September Building. One person can be completely transformed into another. After the surgery, you will need to rest for a year, and every year after that, you will need to make another fine-tuning to avoid becoming more and more like your original face, but you will also need to rest for a month. Did Hua Jiangli use this technique on Sumu? ”

Hua Lao still didn't answer, and only cared about smoking.

"This procedure requires the person to be anesthetized to the depths. Because this operation requires the skin and tendons to be opened, the flesh and bones removed, which is a pain that no one can endure even in hell. However, even so, I still feel a piercing pain and cannot walk for a year after surgery. "Summer Night Road.

Hua Lao looked up at the sea of clouds, not knowing what he was thinking.

Summer Night said again: "This is just changing the body to be the same as another person." If there is no one to distinguish between the two, you need to learn the person's gestures and personality habits. Over time, most of the time will go crazy. ”

Hua Lao finally responded, "The Hua family is gone." She didn't need to pretend to be a young lady anymore. She was very fortunate that she could forget these things. I'm just a steward, and even though I know these things, I can't do anything about it. Now I can only look at the passport material from the sidelines, and make up for it a little. ”

Summer Night's mood is complicated, and the conjecture in Shicai's heart has come true. Who would have thought that such a misfortune would befall that lively girl. A sense of pity and compassion inevitably rose in my heart.

Xia Ye asked, "Then does Elder Hua know who the Divine Blessing Sect Master is?"

Hua Lao replied: "Xia Shaoxia thinks too much about the old decay. The old man just spent more than 30 years in the Hua family and knew some things. I took care of Sumu after the operation, so I knew about it. Hua Jiangli was indeed afraid that the Su family would be powerful and took away his position as the chief doctor and raised his fortune. But how could that strange fire not be extinguished for five days under the torrential rain. Why is there no one in the Hua family to survive? Origin of the Divine Blessing Cult. How Sumu lost his memory. Why can old decay survive by luck? These old decays really don't know anything. Now it's just living because of the guilt of Su Mu. ”

Summer Night got up and walked into the courtyard, tilted his head and closed his eyes to relax.

After a while, Xia Ye looked back and said to Hua Lao: "Old man." You will regret the rest of your life because your mind is lazy and you do nothing. With that, he flew up the wall and left.

At nightfall, the beginning of the day. The sea of clouds is churning, and the stars and moon are not visible.

The summer night came to the main entrance of the altar of divine blessing.

As soon as he stepped in, Wen Luo appeared, "What is Xia Shaoxia's visit this time?" ”

Xia Ye said lightly: "Come and see the sect leader."

Wen Luo walked through the summer night and walked down the mountain.

The summer night followed.

The two walked quietly on the Meizhushan Road, not hurrying or slow. The evening breeze is chaotic, stuffy and wet, as if the mountain rain is coming.

"Why are you assisting the Sect Master?" Summer Night asked.

"The grace of saving lives should be repaid with life." Wen Luo responded like his footsteps, not in a hurry or impatient.

"Are you planning to sacrifice ten thousand people with the blood of the assistant lord to ascend?" Ask again on a summer night,

"Yes." The text is omitted.

"That's tens of thousands of lives." The summer night is slightly angry.

"Tens of thousands of volunteers." The tone of the text is still so bland.

"Voluntary? Even though you have blessed the people of a city, they will not be like this. "Summer Night Road.

"Ten days later, the church will have a prayer ceremony. Then please take a look at Xia Shao at that time. Wen Luo said.

The two unknowingly reached the foot of the mountain.

Wen Luo walked into the bamboo forest, came to a cave covered by weeds, and raised his hand sideways, "Xia Shaoxia, please." ”

Summer Night walked alone into the cave, and after a short walk, he reached the end.

At the end of the day is the stone chamber with a hundred zhang stone statues. A foul smell was emanating from the stone room.

The sect leader and Wu Tao were looking up in front of the stone statue, and more than ten white-clothed sect members stood neatly behind the two. There were dead bodies all around, and it was the nearly 100 busy people in the daytime.

After establishing himself in the summer night, the sect leader said, "You are here." Let's see if this stone statue is ingenious. ”

Xia Ye looked at the dead corpses all over the ground, frowned slightly, and said, "Although the magic circle has been carved, the statue of the god still needs to be carved, is it too early to kill them at this time?"

The sect leader said, "This stone statue doesn't need to be carved in the first place." Then he walked to the summer night, "You came to look for me, you must know something." I wonder if you saw it clearly at this time? ”

Summer Night raised his hand and shot a flying needle, piercing the sect leader's robe, and then pulled the thread back. Glancing at the flying needle, there was no trace of blood on it.

Xia Ye said: "Sure enough. You don't have a body, just a soul. No, half a wisp. As I expected, it's good. Su Mu did not lose his memory, but divided his soul into two parts, and his memory also became two parts. The girl who seems to be Hua Qingdai is Su Mu, and the sect leader is also Su Mu. And the sect leader carries with him the memories of the sixteen years old to the present. ”
