Chapter 106 Han's Ancestral Hall. (Second Update! Please Follow Up!)
"Mysterious Thunder Talisman." Xu Song said with a tense expression, "That location should be the Patriarch's study room. Brother Tang and the others should have arrived after some time. It's just that they used the Mysterious Thunder Talisman right after entering? Senior Brother Zhang, should we go there? have a look?"
Zhang Shuo pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's not necessary, let's continue to Han's ancestral hall."
"Being able to force Tang Nanzhai to use the Xuanlei Talisman shows the danger of the Patriarch's study."
"If He Yi had faced such a situation, it would have been impossible for him to escape back to the sect."
"So now it is basically certain that the treasure house is not there."
Xu Song was a little worried: "Brother Zhang, is it possible that the enemy was not there at the time, and He Yi took the opportunity to sneak in?"
"Junior Brother Xu, be safe and don't be impatient." Zhang Shuo said calmly, "Although we have made an appointment to share the foundation building formula with the foundation building experience, Chixuteng has its own means. But the person who discovers Chixuteng does not mean that he will It can be taken out of the villa. So it is not necessarily a good thing to get things in your hands early, understand?"
"...Yes." Xu Song was stunned for a moment, and then said in awe, "What Senior Brother Zhang said is absolutely true."
Everyone quickly collected the resentful daughter, and they also walked to the end of the alley.
I saw an exquisite courtyard in front of me, where a wisteria almost completely obscured the skylight.
Under the flower stand, there is a water tank exactly like the one in the alley.
It's just that there is no resentful woman in the water tank, but several bright red swimming fish, which have been left alive for so long without taking care of them.
Sensing someone approaching, it immediately floated to the surface, shaking its head and tail, as if begging for food.
Seeing this, Li Xiaqing took out a piece of dry food from the storage bag, broke it into pieces and threw it in.
However, those swimming fish had no interest in dry food, and even one that was particularly nimble suddenly jumped out of the water and bit her wrist fiercely!
"Patter."
Li Xiaqing frowned, grabbed the swimming fish casually, crushed it into minced meat, and threw it back into the water tank, and saw other swimming fish immediately swarming up to eat the flesh and blood of the same species.
She wiped her fingers and said displeasedly: "What's the matter with this villa? The spirit carp was originally gentle and vegetarian all the year round. Why are there a few here, so vicious."
"There is an alley full of resentful women next to it." Zhao Changan said, "The resentment and resentment have been eroded over the years, so it's no wonder it's not fierce?"
Except for the wisteria flower stand and the spirit carp whose temperament has changed drastically, there is nothing else in the courtyard.
I saw long strips of stepping stones embedded in the thick moss, leading to a moon cave door.
Behind the gate is the back mountain, with neatly repaired mountain roads, hidden among green trees and fragrant grasses.
The back mountain is not high, but Han's Villa is supposed to enjoy the beauty of the manor as much as possible, and the mountain road is extremely tortuous.
The vegetation along the way is luxuriant, and occasionally you can glimpse the willow bank of the lotus pond below from the gaps between the branches and leaves.
The mountain wind blows, and the lotus leaves in the pond are rattling and turning up the misty waves, and the bright lotus flowers are dotted among them, which is too beautiful to look at.
To everyone's surprise, there was nothing unusual until they stood in front of the Han's ancestral hall on the top of the mountain.
"Something's wrong..." Zhang Shuo frowned slightly as he looked at the ancestral hall, which was as elegant as the gatehouse but couldn't hide the traces of the years. Instead of entering immediately, he murmured, "I have a bad feeling...everyone be careful!"
After exhorting, he told Xu Song: "Go and open the door."
Xu Song nodded, and two palm-sized puppets rolled out of his sleeves, and they grew up quickly when they landed. In just two breaths, they were already like three or four-year-old children.
They ran to the front of Han's ancestral hall, chanted in a childish voice and pushed the door open.
They seem to have little strength, but the closed gate of the ancestral hall collapsed after holding on for a while.
The two puppets giggled, stepped on the door panel happily, and walked in bouncingly.
Everyone stood at the door and looked at it. There was a small courtyard inside, a stone road leading to the screen wall, and some flowers and plants were planted on both sides.
It may be because it has not been taken care of for a long time, and the flowers and plants grow wildly, squeezing the road to only a narrow gap.
The puppets walked all the way, and countless branches and leaves hit them, making a rustling sound.
Then...then there was no more, the two puppets fell down without warning, and returned to the palm-sized dead objects.
"The spiritual power has been drained." Xu Song frowned, "The two sides are planted with spirit-swallowing grass."
"Let's do it directly." Zhang Shuo took out a black spear from the storage bag with his backhand, and said lightly, "Follow me!"
After saying that, the spear was like a snake, and it swept towards the courtyard full of spirit-swallowing grass.
There seemed to be no other arrangement in the vestibule of the ancestral hall except the Spirit Swallowing Grass. Zhang Shuo chopped it down with a few random strikes, and even broke most of the stone slabs.
After bypassing the screen wall, you can see a spacious yard, and a fish pond is set up next to the screen wall, which is like the water tank at the bottom of the mountain, and there are many spiritual carps.
It's just that the spirit carps here have already died suddenly, floating on the water one by one, and the corpses all emit a strange smell.
A large tree with luxuriant branches is planted in each of the four corners of the yard, and there are red ribbons hanging on the tree that seem to be used for blessing.
Right in front is the main hall of the ancestral hall.
The door of the main hall was ajar, and there was a faint smell of incense from inside.
Without waiting for Zhang Shuo to speak, Xu Song took out the puppets just now and drove them forward to explore the way.
The puppet pushed open the door, and saw a very spacious hall inside. There was a shrine in the innermost part, and there was a bead curtain hanging down to cover it, so the appearance of the worshiped god could not be seen clearly.
Outside the bead curtain, there are densely packed memorial tablets of the Han family members of the past dynasties.
The surrounding area is brightly lit and spotless, as if someone has been sweeping and maintaining it.
Everyone looked at each other with solemn expressions.
Zhang Shuo said, "Go and see what's inside the shrine."
Xu Song nodded slightly, and with a thought, the puppet immediately ran behind the bead curtain.
But before they approached, the two puppet children lost their vitality in an instant, returned to their original shape, and fell to the ground just like before.
"It should be to set up a formation to expel spiritual power." Xu Song said, "to prevent similar spying methods."
Zhang Shuo said: "In this case, let's go in directly."
As he spoke, the spear flew out, pierced through an unopened fan, slammed into the main hall, and plunged obliquely into the ground, splashing a stream of sparks.
There was no movement in the hall.
Seeing this, Zhang Shuo beckoned, the spear flew back to his hand, and he strode inside immediately.
The others also pulled out their weapons and followed with alert expressions.
Although the hall is spacious, it is clear at a glance. The only thing that may be hidden is the shrine.
Everyone knocked on the floor tiles and walls, and all turned their eyes to the bead curtain.
Zhang Shuo said slowly, "Junior Sister Lu, let the Golden Winged Red Line Centipede take a look."
Lu Luqiang nodded: "Okay."
As he spoke, he patted an embroidered pouch similar to a storage pouch on his waist, and a centipede with four wings flew out.
