The door of the ancestral hall slowly closed, and the candle in the middle of the room suddenly lit up.
In the room, a vague scent of sandalwood rose slowly, giving people a sense of drowsiness. Li Songlin, Zhou Yue and others turned on their mobile phones and searched the room for a while. Finally, they found a book in the corner.
Old and worn books.
When I opened it, I found that this book was actually the genealogy of the Zhou family.
Moreover, it is the genealogy of the direct line.
Chu Ye frowned slightly. If he wanted to know whether this direct lineage was related to Jinling Zhou Qimo, just look at the family tree.
Chu Ye took the genealogy, but before he could turn it over, suddenly, a hand was placed on his shoulder... In an instant, not only Chu Ye, but also Li Songlin and Zhou Yue next to him stopped.
A feeling of numbness in the scalp spreads throughout the body, making people feel a strong palpitation.
It turned out that the person who suddenly appeared behind him not only put his hand on Chu Ye's shoulder, but also on Li Songlin's shoulder.
The next moment, the group of people turned around. At the moment when several people turned around, the person behind him took his hand back.
The figure of a scrawny old man came into view.
The old man has short hair, dark skin, and unfocused eyes. He looks to be in his seventies. What's even stranger is that the old man is wearing black clothes with a big white word "Shou" written in the middle.
He wore a shroud that only the dead would wear! "Little girl, who are you?"
The old man looked at Liu Fei with cold eyes, and Liu Fei had goosebumps all over her body. She took a step back in a hurry, opened her mouth, and it took a long time before she made a weak voice: "We... are here to find someone."
"Find someone?
Are you looking for a living person or a dead person?"
The old man raised his head blankly and asked slowly.
"A living person..." Liu Fei said nervously.
"Since you are looking for a living person, why did you come to our Zhou family's ancestral hall?"
The old man said with a somewhat complaining tone, "Don't you know that the people worshiped in the ancestral hall are all dead people?"
Zhou Yue and others looked at each other and asked: "Old man, who are you and why are you wearing a shroud?"
The old man frowned and said: "I am the person responsible for guarding the ancestral hall. The old man is all alone with no one to keep him company. He might die one day. If he puts on his shroud in advance, even if there is an accident one day, he will be dead."
It’s a decent way to die... This ancestral hall is making a lot of noise at night, if you don’t want to get into trouble, just leave as soon as possible!”
After saying that, the old man turned around blankly, stepped across the threshold like a zombie, and walked slowly outside.
The moment the old man turned around, Chu Ye looked through the family tree, only to find that the last few pages had been torn out. In other words, the direct lineage genealogy of the Zhou family in the past hundred years could not be found.
"Ask him who has been here in the past few days."
Chu Ye put a few pages of the family tree that had been torn out on the table and said, "The pages at the back of this family tree were torn out just now."
Several people looked at each other and immediately chased after him without hesitation.
Outside, the sky was getting darker and darker, with almost no light, and the old man could no longer be seen.
"That's weird, where did you go?"
Li Songlin frowned.
Master Baiyun said gloomily: "This old guy is very familiar with this place. If he really hides, we won't be able to find him for a while. We might as well just threaten him with his life to make him tell the truth!"
Lin Jianghe also nodded.
He also felt that the old man walked too strangely and made no sound at all.
He is a strong Master of Transformation Realm, with very good hearing and alertness. Even if he is also a master of Transformation Realm, Lin Jianghe would have noticed it a long time ago when he came so close. He didn't even hear the old man's footsteps just now. If it were anyone else,
I'm afraid I was scared out of my mind a long time ago.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps beside the ancient well that we had just passed.
"There's movement over there!"
Li Songlin rushed out first, followed closely by Master Baiyun, and the two of them came to the ancient well one after another.
"The sound just came from here!"
"Would you like to go down and take a look?"
The two of them turned around and looked at Chu Ye.
"Chu Ye, you brought us here. Among us, you and Lin Jianghe are the strongest. You two will take the lead. Is that okay?"
Li Songlin said.
"Why?"
Zhou Yue retorted, "Isn't the reason why you two came here to break the curse mark on your body?"
"Since you don't want to go down, then just wait here. Anyway, it's not my father who was arrested."
Li Songlin did not give in at all.
"He is not your father, but he is your master!"
Liu Fei screamed angrily and actually took the lead with one foot across the ancient well and was about to jump in.
Bang! Liu Fei suddenly felt a hand grabbing her waist, and her whole body was pulled back.
"I'll go first."
Chu Ye glanced at Li Songlin lightly and jumped in without saying anything.
Seeing that there was no danger below, several others jumped in one after another.
At the same time, a gust of cold wind blew in the courtyard, but no one noticed it. Among the figures who jumped in, there was a black figure... Under the ancient well, everyone turned on their flashlights and shined them everywhere. They found that the bottom of the well was actually full of people.
Human skeletons, and skulls of cattle, sheep, and pigs.
"This is indeed a place of worship!"
Master Baiyun frowned and said, "I guessed it right!"
"Using living people as sacrifices?
This direct lineage of the Zhou family is a bit evil!"
Lin Jianghe leaned down and observed the human skeletons on the ground. His face suddenly darkened, and he looked at the traces on the wall of the ancient well and said: "Before he died, this man was very strong, with thick knuckles. At first glance, he was a person who practiced martial arts all year round, and
There are no injuries on the bones, and he still maintained a posture of leaning against the wall and climbing before he died, which proves that he was trapped here alive!"
The group of people looked at each other.
They believed what Lin Jianghe said. Lin Jianghe was the number one master in Su City before. Except for Chu Ye, he was stronger than anyone here.
At this moment, Chu Ye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stared at the ground illuminated by the flashlight and said, "There are only six of us, but why are there seven types of footprints on the ground?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the group immediately lowered their heads to observe. Sure enough, there was a strange footprint at the bottom of the well.
Could it be said that a "person" got mixed up among them?
The mouth of the well is covered with evil talismans.
There is a master trapped alive at the bottom of the well.
The entire ancient well is a secret altar.
And they happened to enter the ancient well.
"No, this is a trap, get up!"
Almost as soon as Chu Ye finished speaking, green rays of light suddenly lit up above the wellhead, forming more than a dozen weird patterns on the wellhead, and a coercion descended like a mountain bearing down on the top of the well.
"ah!"
Liu Fei had the worst physical condition. As an ordinary person, she was forced to her knees on the spot.
Several other people were also overwhelmed.
At the bottom of the well, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred!
