Chapter 224: Code-named Bat (30): Chen Dian's Real Purpose of Murder
I had a dream, a very long dream, in which I felt extremely painful. I dreamed of being tied to a chair, with my hands and feet wrapped in chains, and even my mouth was stuffed with a towel.
, shortness of breath and pain, a dim light shone in front of me.
At this time, someone came over. She was tied up like me, with a towel stuffed in her mouth. She looked painfully at the light shining on her face. I slowly saw clearly that he was Wu Ruolan. In her eyes
Full of sadness, he asked me for help, but I was powerless. Then, he was suddenly dragged away by an unknown thing.
Immediately afterwards, another person was pushed out from the darkness. Like Wu Ruolan, she also had her hands tied and a towel stuffed in her mouth. She looked at me painfully. She was Ye Mei. Finally, when I was helpless,
He was snatched away again by an unknown force in the darkness.
Next, another woman appeared. She was Cheng Sulan. She looked at me and seemed to be saying something, but she couldn't hear me at all. I felt like my heart was about to explode. I tried to speak, but the towel was stuffed in my mouth and I couldn't say anything.
I couldn't come out, I felt like I couldn't breathe, and I felt very painful. I raised my head and wanted to say something, but I saw a black shadow suddenly falling from the sky and covering my face directly.
I opened my eyes and sat up suddenly. The room was still the same as before, except that Chen Dian was gone. Hei Tou and Lao Hai were lying on both sides. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Shen Yao was also leaning next to him, but he hadn't woken up yet.
My head hurt a lot. I rubbed my head and stood up. I walked over and patted Shen Yao. Soon Shen Yao woke up. Then I walked over and was helped up by Lao Hai and Hei Tou, but I suddenly found that Hei Tou and Lao Hai were helping him up.
Hai unexpectedly had injuries on his chest, especially the blackheads. He must have been stabbed in the heart by a knife, and he seemed to have been dead for a long time.
Chen Dian killed Heitou.
Why did Chen Dian attack the blackheads?
Seeing this scene, everyone didn't quite understand. My head was still dizzy, but Heitou's experience made me sober up a lot. Lao Hai woke up and saw Heitou being killed, and he immediately cursed.
Cheng Sulan, I thought of Cheng Sulan, obviously he is no longer in the room.
"What happened just now?"
"We don't know why we fainted," Lao Hai said.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Acheng and Cheng Suminmin ran in. When they saw our situation, they were stunned.
"Now we have to calm down." I rubbed my head and said, "Chen Dian took Cheng Sulan away from here. Its destination is obvious. He has already said it. What we have to do now is to find what they need before him.
If rejected, Cheng Sulan's life would be in danger.
"Yes, but I don't quite understand why Chen Dian killed Heitou but we were not poisoned. As long as I ask, it seems that there is only one reason, because Heitou recognized his identity and he was worried that Heitou would affect his plan.
, so we killed Heitou. As for us, we actually know that he is Chen Abao’s grandson, but we don’t know other circumstances, and it will not affect him. Other lives will not affect his plan, so he did not kill us. "
I said.
"Then it seems that Cheng Tian has not gone crazy enough." Cheng Sumin said harshly.
"Let's not talk about it for now. Now that we know that Chen Dian is Grandma Chen's grandson, I think it's okay without further delay. We should find the mayor of Forgotten Town immediately and tell us about this situation. Maybe we will know through the mayor. What is Chen Dian’s ultimate goal?”
I said okay to Acheng, let’s go look for it now. Blackhead had no choice but to ask Xiao He for help. A few of us helped him up and ran out immediately. At the village committee, we found the mayor and told the matter After talking for a while, the mayor's face changed drastically after hearing this, and he said, "I really didn't expect that Chen Dian would do such a thing. After his grandmother died, he left our selfless town. How could I not I didn’t expect that he would come back and do something so outrageous. You are right. Chen Dian’s goal should be the Xishan King’s Tomb on the Ancestral Mountain to the west of our Forgotten Town.”
"Where is that place? Is it worth letting Chen Dian take such a risk to do such a thing? Shen Yao asked.
"Things have come to this point, and I have nothing to hide. Come with me," the mayor sighed, and then led us towards the ancestral hall in front.
Under the leadership of the mayor, we entered the ancestral hall. This was the first time I saw the ancestral hall. The ancestral halls in my impression were all from books or movies and TV series. It was a relatively simple room, maybe decorated Full of spiritual tablets from ancestors.
The ancestral hall in Forgotten Town was very luxurious. When I opened the door and walked in, I thought it was some ancient palace. Others also opened their eyes wide, and they were all attracted by the ancestral hall in front of them.
The mayor walked to the middle, where there were many spiritual tablets of the ancestors of Forgotten Town. They were densely packed and numerous.
The mayor formally introduced the three people. They had no names, and their names were just guardians. "Actually, it is a bit wrong to say that they are the guardians of our Forgotten Town. It is correct to say that they are the guardians of the Xishan King's Tomb." There is a Western Mountain to the west of our Forgotten Town, and there is a royal tomb inside. It is a royal tomb that is kept secret from the outside world. Who is buried in the Xishan Royal Tomb? No one knows. They don’t even know these guardians, they only know them Our ancestors have handed down instructions from generation to generation to protect the Xishan King’s Tomb, as well as our selfless town, so their mission is to protect the Xishan King’s Tomb.”
It seems from the current situation that Chen Dian's goal should be the things in the Xishan King's Tomb.
"I told them this situation. If you want to save people, just go up with the three guardians." The mayor said.
Ah Cheng next to us wanted to say something, but was stopped. So we didn't talk anymore, and walked silently to the west of Xishan Mountain with the three guardians.
On the road, we looked at the three guardians next to us. Their mysterious appearance really surprised us. Out of politeness, I asked about their situation. I always thought they would ignore us, but I didn’t expect that the guardian in the middle was very talkative. For convenience, I will introduce their details.
"I am the guardian, and these two are my children. We have no names, and our names are guardians. Because our family is born to serve the Xishan King's Tomb, so our lifelong responsibility is to protect the Xishan King's Tomb. "Now the problem we have been worried about has emerged. If the Xishan Royal Tomb is destroyed by Chen Dian and others, our guardianship mission will be tantamount to failure. In that case, we can only die to apologize." The guardian said.
"Don't worry, we won't let him succeed. Besides, even if he does succeed, you won't
We use death to apologize. Now if something goes wrong, it is equivalent to losing our lives. So we treat everything we do as the last thing in our lives, because you may not see it if you are not paying attention.
Tomorrow's sun." The guardian said, looking at the guardian's face in front of him. These words shocked me very much. In my impression, guardians rarely sit down like this, and descendants have always done this, treating their lives as waiting.
.
"Since you are the guardians of the Xishan Royal Tomb, why don't you guard it there? Instead, you live in Forgettable Town?" I don't understand this.
"This is very simple. The Xishan Royal Tomb is not an ordinary royal tomb. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but there are some mechanisms inside. If you don't pay attention, you may lose your life. That's why we stay in the ancestral hall in Forgettable Town and wait.
