In ancient times, this place was originally a deep residence of a wealthy family, and Qingle Lake was originally built in the yard of this family.
Later, due to some reasons, the family suddenly experienced great changes and quickly declined.
A local warlord became the new owner of this house, where he had fun every day, had wine and meat in the woods, sang and sang every night, and fished and ate for the common people.
However, no one would have thought that the warlord who looked like this on the surface was actually doing even more unscrupulous things behind the scenes.
I don’t know where he heard about a so-called method of extending life, and he actually wanted to use human sacrifice to extend his life!
Speaking of this, Sheng Chengcai's face, which had never shown any emotion before, showed a hint of anger, which made Li Yi's heart move.
"So from that day on, two major events happened in the town."
"One is that the warlord stationed here wants to re-excavate the lake in the courtyard. He said that in order to benefit the people, he will re-excavate the lake to make it bigger and demolish the courtyard wall."
"The other thing is that since then, there have been cases of disappearances in the town. Almost every few days, there will be children under the age of one who disappear inexplicably."
"I know! This must have been done by the warlord leader! He captured the child and sacrificed it to extend his life! Bah, scum!"
Hearing this, Li Xu couldn't help but replied with an indignant look. In his opinion, everyone who hurts children is scum and deserves to die!
Sheng Chengcai paused, ignored him, and continued: "In fact, the current situation at that time was that the people had no problem even eating, so how could they bother to enjoy the lake view? But there is one good thing, that is, the warlord said
You can work for him for one yuan a day and take care of a meal. This alone attracts countless people who can't survive. Therefore, except for those families who have lost their children, almost everyone in the town applies for the job.
Yes, every day, the yard of that house is crowded with people who have come to apply for jobs."
"What happened next?" Li Yi asked while observing the surrounding situation. At the same time, he was still observing Sheng Chengcai's expression.
Gradually, he discovered that since entering this mysterious place called Qingle Lake, his emotions seemed to have become much richer.
This further strengthened some of his previous judgments.
This must be related to the hidden plot this time!
"Later..." Sheng Chengcai's eyes seemed to be confused for a while, and then he regained his clarity, "Later, it was revealed that the warlord was killed by his subordinates after drinking, and the rest of them died or escaped.
The warlord's compound, which had been in power for a while, fell into decline."
"Warlord compound? Is this what you are talking about?"
Li Yi's voice came, and he pointed to a stone tablet in front of him, with four traditional Chinese characters written on it.
Sheng Dujun Mansion.
"Hey? Old man, this governor has the same surname as you? You don't know him, do you?" Li Xu soon discovered it and said it as a joke, but found that as soon as he said this, the whole audience fell silent.
.
When Li Xu discovered it, he felt that both of them were looking at him with strange eyes.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Originally, we have the same surname, and they were from a hundred years ago..." As he spoke, he also discovered something was wrong, and covered his mouth in surprise, "No, no.
Well, you are the warlord who killed a thousand swords?"
"How is it possible? What are you thinking! Have you forgotten that Mr. Sheng was a scholar from the beginning? How can he look like a military governor?" Seeing that Sheng Chengcai didn't answer, Li Yi helped him out.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Chengcai didn't seem to hear anything and just continued what Li Xu said.
"You are right. The governor named Sheng is indeed related to me. I also know him. In other words, our relationship was very close, because he is my father."
What!?
As soon as these words came out, even Li Yi was greatly surprised. He had never thought about this fact, but he quickly thought of the other party's previous description.
"So Mr. Sheng, your father did not actually occupy the Governor's Mansion, but came back to inherit the family business as a matter of course?"
"Don't call this man my father. Although I am indeed his son, I have long since disowned this man." Sheng Chengcai shook his head, with an expression on his face that said, "Don't ask me, just ask because there are too many stories to tell."
.
"None of this is important anymore. I just want to ask, now that we have come in, what is going on in the so-called supernatural place?" Li Yi waved his hand and asked the question he wanted to know most straightforwardly.
"You don't know? Then how do you know this address? I thought you knew everything. You were testing me before!" Sheng Chengcai glanced at Li Yi in surprise. He felt that he couldn't understand the man in front of him.
.
Sometimes he is so shrewd that he cannot tell what the person is thinking, but sometimes he is just like a rookie.
"Well, haven't you seen it already?"
Looking in the direction Sheng Chengcai pointed, Li Yi saw a room.
On the surface, this was an ordinary room, but Li Yi could tell at a glance that there was something unusual about this room.
The reason is also very simple.
Which house will sparkle? Even the window paper cannot be covered, and the light shines through.
Is there a treasure in this room? Something supernatural? Or something else?
Sheng Chengcai clearly saw what Li Yi was thinking: "Don't think too much, this is just a room where treasures are stored. These were all collected by my father when he was a warlord. Many people knew that there were weird things at the bottom of Qingle Lake.
But they still come one after another, just for the treasure here, you can take it, these things are of no use leaving them here."
He thought that the other party would rush in without hesitation and collect all the gold and silver treasures he could see. Unexpectedly, Li Yi just looked at him for a while and finally shook his head: "That thing that slaps your house, what's the matter?"
If it's not mine, I won't ask for it. If you don't have any use for it, just leave it to your descendants."
Hearing this, Sheng Chengcai was stunned for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "Our Sheng family was indeed a big family back then, but I was the only son of the Sheng family. Since my death, the Sheng family has had no descendants, so these things,
Naturally, it is of no use."
"Then leave it here. After I solve the supernatural incident here, someone will naturally come here to take away these treasures." Li Yi nodded, seemingly not coveting the treasures in that room.
"That's your business. Let's go. If it's a supernatural place, this is the only place I can think of."
