"Hey, Mu Chen. Bai Chen left the temple and returned to the place where he lived, and immediately told Mu Chen what he saw.

"Seventh Uncle?" Mu Chen noticed this key person, "This Seventh Uncle may be the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

"What should I do now? Do you want to keep staring?" Bai Chen asked on the phone.

"Hmm. It's not convenient for you to reveal your identity right now. In my opinion, the two of them were going to be ready to train zombies before the day they cast the spiritualism. So you stare at it first, I looked at the Nie family to see if there was any information about that seventh uncle, I always felt as if I had seen it somewhere. ”

After hanging up the phone, Mu Chen and Yao Si discussed for a while. Yao Si's mana is above Mu Chen, and her perception ability is also stronger. Yao Si told Mu Chen that she could sense that the Nie family had a mysterious power hiding in the shadows.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Nie went out early in the morning. This time, Mu Chen sent Bai Chen to follow her.

According to the latest news from Bai Chen, Old Lady Nie went to the woods on the outskirts of the city, and she was accompanied by Yunkong. When the two of them arrived in the woods, they began to cultivate, presumably to improve their skills as soon as possible.

In the courtyard of the Nie family's house, everyone looked up at the sky without sunlight, as if they were shrouded in a thick fog.

"Why is it so gray this day?"

"I guess it's going to rain, so I'm going to put things away. ”

The fog above the Nie family gathered more and more, and it became clearer and clearer. Originally, it was only seen with spiritual power, but now even ordinary people can see it, covering the sky and the sun in gray.

Yao Si looked up at the mist above, but found that this mist was deep and shallow, thin and thick. Eventually, Yao Si found the center of the mist in it.

The center of the mist was darker than the surrounding color, and the Yin Qi gathered the most, and this center was directly opposite the Nie family ancestral hall, Yao Si felt that there must be something strange in this.

While Old Lady Nie went out, Mu Chen and Yao Si avoided the sight of their subordinates and quietly slipped into the ancestral hall.

"Uncle Seven, by the way, I remembered!"

As soon as Mu Chen entered the ancestral hall, he thought of the title of Seventh Uncle that Bai Chen had heard from Yunkong and Pingping last night. Mu Chen remembered that he had seen this title in the ancestral hall.

There are two rows of Nie family tablets enshrined in the ancestral hall, and Mu Chen whispered in his mouth while carefully looking for them in the tablet.

Finally, he found the tablet of this person named Uncle Seven. It turned out that this person's name was Nie Gong. The tablet is engraved that Nie Gong is the eighteenth generation descendant of the Nie family, ranking seventh, and is known as the seventh uncle.

"The eighteenth generation, I remember that Nie Yang'er is now the sixty-fifth generation descendant of the Nie family. There was a difference of thousands of years in between, could it be that this seventh uncle has survived to the present?"

Mu Chen said the conjecture in his heart and gasped. The implications and hidden conspiracies are getting bigger and bigger.

"How many times have you been here?" Yao Si asked suddenly.

Although Mu Chen didn't know why Yao Si suddenly asked this, he still replied, "Counting that today is the third time I've come here, what's wrong?"

"You!" Yao Si suddenly scolded a little angrily, "What's the matter with your mana?

"Huh?"

After Yao Siyi's reminder, Mu Chen did feel a strong yin qi coming out from behind these tablets.

"I, I really didn't feel it the first two times!" The yin aura here is strong, and it stands to reason that Mu Chen should have noticed it the first time he came in, but now it was through Yao Si's reminder that he found that Mu Chen couldn't help but be confused.

Yao Si shook her head with some disappointment and said, "Alas, there are traces here that have been deliberately eliminated, and it is understandable that you didn't find it immediately." Didn't you say that Old Lady Nie stays here twice a day, maybe she deliberately got rid of it. ”

"But that's not a reason, you have to improve your strength. If this kind of thing was discovered early on, it wouldn't have been delayed for so long!" Yao Si warned Mu Chen very formally.

Mu Chen nodded solemnly, but he was a little disappointed in his heart. It turns out that the gap between himself and Yao Si is so big, whether it is identity or strength, it is too far apart.

Originally, he thought that he had saved Yao Si and would shorten the distance between the two of them. But just now, Yao Si's admonition like a predecessor once again made Mu Chen see the reality clearly.

"Okay," Yao Si patted Mu Chen on the shoulder, seeing that he was a little disappointed, he comforted: "We haven't seen each other for a few months, but your strength has improved a lot." There is also a 10,000-year-old merman essence in the body, as long as you make good use of it, you will definitely grow quickly. ”

"You can even tell that Jingyuan is from the merman clan?" Mu Chen couldn't help but sigh again at Yao Si's strength.

"Of course, you are very talented, and you have improved your mana for 10,000 years in such a short period of time. As long as you practice well, I believe you will be able to catch up with me soon. Come on!"

"It will definitely be!" Mu Chen assured Yao Si.

"Well, look at the back of the tablet, there should be a mechanism. Yao Si said.

Mu Chen carefully removed the tablets in the second row and walked to the front of the first row, and indeed felt that the yin qi here was even stronger. Mu Chen tried to pull open the slots in this row, but found that this row seemed to be fixed and couldn't move at all.

But this shows even more that there is a mystery here. Mu Chen gently moved each tablet, and when he touched one of the tablets, he only heard a "click", and Mu Chen found the mechanism.

I saw that this long row of tablets automatically separated from the middle to the sides, and a secret passage appeared in front of Mu Chen and Yao Si.

"Go in and have a look. ”

Mu Chen walked in first, and after the two of them entered the secret passage, the tablets automatically closed together. Mu Chen fumbled by the wall, found the switch, and turned on the light.

This secret passage is dimly lit, but it looks very clean. Presumably, the fake old lady Nie often comes in. The secret passage is not long, but Mu Chen and Yao Si walked very carefully in order to prevent a mechanism, and the speed was a little slower.

The two walked inside for a while, and after passing through the secret passage, what appeared in front of them was a large space. The space was lit with candles, and there were four large pillars lined up around it, with large, long chains hanging from them, each with red blood stains on them.

And in the middle there is a circular platform, and in the center of the platform, there is a person with long hair hanging down his head, and the two of them are sitting there with their backs to Mu Chen.

His hands and feet were bound by chains, and the skin worn by the violent struggle could be clearly seen at the joints where he was locked. Bleeding and scabbing and bleeding, these wounds are shocking to see. He's tied up here.

Mu Chen felt that this person's body was full of yin qi. The yin qi in the courtyard of the Nie family came from this person's body.

The man heard footsteps, did not look back, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How are things going?"

Mu Chen and Yao Si did not answer, but stood at a certain distance from this person and looked at him.

Mu Chen was already sure in his heart that this person should be the seventh uncle in Pingping's mouth.

Since he hadn't heard an answer, the person in the center of the stage seemed to sense that something was wrong, and immediately tilted his head to see the two strangers in front of him, and asked angrily, "Who are you?"

Mu Chen had an idea and said to the man: "Seventh Uncle, we are Yunkong and Pingping." We're doing things like someone else, and we still have urgent things for a while, so we haven't unloaded. ”

"Oh!" Maybe it was because there was an echo in this circular space, and Uncle Seven didn't hear the difference in voice at all, nor did he have doubts, and continued to ask: "Did things go well?

"Dead, all dead!" replied Pingping, played by Yao Si.

The real Pingping insisted on sending Nie Yang'er away, maybe it really saved her life.

When Uncle Seven heard the answer, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha! Okay, the Nie family is finally dead!" The hoarse laughter was like the sound of cutting things with a saw, which sounded numb.

Mu Chen endured the goosebumps on his body and asked the seventh uncle, "Do you have any other orders?"

The seventh uncle asked leisurely, "Is Nie Rongxiu done?"

Nie Rongxiu is the old lady Nie, Mu Chen naturally knows what Uncle Seventh means by what he said, and replied: "It's still a little close, I will definitely succeed tonight." ”

"Well, keep it up. Uncle Seven nodded with satisfaction and asked again, "What happened to the person with magic power you said?"

Mu Chen naturally knew that the seventh uncle said that it was himself, and replied: "No, he is convinced of me now. ”

Uncle Seven said with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, it is worthy of being a person I have cultivated with my own hands." When labor and management are freed from this shackle, they will surely reward both of you. ”

"Uncle Xie Qi. ”

"Well, let's go back quickly if it's okay, we'll see you at Nie's house tomorrow night. ”

Mu Chen and Yao Si retreated to the ancestral hall, carefully checked all the tablets, restored them to their original state, and finally confirmed that there was no one outside, and then quickly opened the door and left the ancestral hall.

"It turns out that this seventh uncle is the biggest black hand behind the scenes, and those two people are just two chess pieces. Mu Chen returned to the room and sighed.

Yao Si paid attention to another point, "Don't you think it's strange that this seventh uncle is locked all fours, as if he is imprisoned here?"

Mu Chen noticed this when he was in the secret room just now, and he had already guessed a very likely answer in his heart.

It is very likely that this seventh uncle is the sinner of the Nie family who secretly cultivated spells and went mad, and went on a killing spree, almost causing the entire Nie family to be ruined.

Legend has it that this person who went mad was subdued by the master invited by the Nie family, and was finally secretly eliminated. The whole world also thought that this man was dead in the end. But what he didn't expect was that he had been locked up in the Nie family all the time, and he still lived to this day.

Mu Chen told Yao Si the conjecture in his heart.

"I think your guess is very likely, this seventh uncle has a strong yin qi, and he is also wrapped in resentment and murderous aura. But we should be cautious about it. ”

"Hmm. I'll ask Nie Yang'er. Mu Chen wanted to come, and now he could only ask Nie Yang'er.
