Chapter 231 Strange things in the small village 31
"So..." Gu Nian pondered, "Is the picture of a tiger descending from the mountain painted on the screen wall to keep the house safe?"
She took a closer look at the tiger descending the mountain. Just as she was about to walk to the back of the screen wall to see if there were any strange patterns or words on the back, a voice suddenly came from behind her: "How could you two do this?"
Appear here?"
Gu Nian turned around and saw that it was Mr. Li wearing a mask who appeared behind them.
He was climbing up from the side of the hanging flower door and an open floor tile.
No wonder the footprints disappeared when they reached the Chuihua Gate.
It turns out that there is a passage hidden under the floor tiles next to the hanging flower door.
Because of a disease in his left leg, his movements are a little slow.
Seeing this, Gu Nian hurriedly ran over there with Lin Chen and helped him up from under the floor tiles.
"Mr. Li, is this your family's old residence?"
"My name is Li Rong." The masked man said.
"Mr. Li, we took the liberty of disturbing you this time because we happened to hear people in the village talking about the past events of the Li family. We want to know what happened to the Li family back then. What happened to the Ten Thousand Tombs Tomb. After all,
This is related to the safety of both of our lives. If you know anything, please give me some advice." Gu Nian said.
"I don't know exactly what happened to the Li family back then. Because my great-grandfather happened to not be in the village at that time."
Li Rong's great-grandfather was the youngest son of the head of the Li family. He happened to be out on business at the time and was not at home, so he avoided the bloody disaster that killed eighty-one members of the Li family overnight.
Li Rong changed the subject and clenched his fists bitterly: "However, through the investigation of four generations of our ancestors and grandchildren, we know that what happened back then was related to that demon. Even the Tomb of Ten Thousand Tombs, and even the
The ghostly Qingbo Town is also the work of that evil spirit."
"That's why Granny Li Liu warned us not to let us leave the house where we live..." Gu Nian said.
As Gu Nian spoke, he and Lin Chen helped Li Rong, who was panting from exhaustion, and asked him to sit down on the steps of the Chuihua Gate.
"Mr. Li, did you return to the old house to find something?" Gu Nian asked.
A look of astonishment appeared on Li Rong's face: "Yes. If you want to subdue the demon and return everything in the village to normal, you need something. But... if you want to get that thing,
It costs one hundred thousand taels of silver. I came home specifically to find the money."
Based on what his great-grandfather recalled and wrote, he searched almost the entire Li family. This time, he even dragged his inconvenient body to the underground secret room, but still found nothing.
"Do you need one hundred thousand taels of silver to defeat that demon? Spending such a large sum of money, what exactly are you buying?" Gu Nian asked.
She didn't expect that the chance to complete the task would eventually fall on Mr. Li, who was wearing a mask.
"Yes. I need the trunk of a peach tree struck by nine lightning bolts to make a peach wood sword to have a chance to kill the demon. However, the owner of the peach tree struck by nine lightning bolts said nothing.
Not selling it, I just want to exchange that piece of peach wood for a luminous pearl worth one hundred thousand taels of silver so that his daughter will not be disturbed by nightmares."
