People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 84 Past events

Chen Ziyan didn't know what was going on here, but he still knew a thing or two about what was below.

They're nothing more than some strange fish bred using evil techniques.

But no matter how beneficial this kind of fish is to people, he still can't eat it, so naturally it is worthless to talk about it.

What's more, what he wants to do most right now is to find a place to test the treasure he just got, and see what is so magical about this thing that is said to be magical.

With this thought in mind, Chen Ziyan nodded obediently and said, "Then just listen to uncle."

"Let's go, it's time to go back." Chen Yulou said softly, but even Chen Ziyan, who was so close, didn't notice. When he finished saying this, his ears moved involuntarily.

Moved.

When he arrived at the secret door, Chen Yulou turned around and sighed with emotion: "The water vapor here has completely overtaken the rustic atmosphere. In less than a year, in as short as half a year, this place where water gathers and condenses yin will be lost to the world."

."

Chen Ziyan understood what this meant, which meant that this place was almost in ruins.

But I am a little confused, when did Chen Yulou know the art of Feng Shui?

However, after thinking about it for a while and finding no results, he didn't think much more about it and just thought it was the old man's sentiment.

Maybe that golden abacus had left a message, who can say for sure.

But what Chen Ziyan didn't know was that just after the secret door was closed, an old figure slowly walked out of the dark passage.

The figure stared at the closed secret door for a while, then walked down the central secret passage without saying a word.

And just a minute after the figure walked down the secret passage, the closed secret door slowly opened again, revealing Chen Yulou and Chen Ziyan standing in another passage.

"Go ahead and hit the floor tiles the same way as before, but this time you have to reverse the order."

Slowly walking out of the secret door, Chen Yulou said to Chen Ziyan in a calm tone.

Although Chen Ziyan did not have the perverted hearing of Chen Yulou and could follow the thick secret door to hear what was going on here, he was able to learn from the footprints on the ground that someone had entered the secret passage just after they left.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Yulou. Chen Ziyan followed what he said and the method he had just done above, reversing the order and tapping the stone bricks next to the secret passage.

Click——

With a crisp sound of the machine starting up, the first stone step in the secret passage rose up. Its outline was exactly the size of a stone brick, filling the square gap on the ground tightly.

If no one has ever seen that secret passage, no one would have thought that there is a secret secret passage right here.

Chen Ziyan knew just by looking at it that the rising stone steps were a whole stone, not just a single layer of stone steps, so if he tried to verify it using his method, he would never gain anything.

"Are you confused as to why I sealed that person inside?" After the mechanism stopped operating, Chen Yulou, who had already been sitting on the stone bed, said calmly.

He knew that although Chen Ziyan didn't mention it, he must have doubts in his heart.

"Some..." Chen Ziyan nodded.

He did have some doubts. He could probably guess the identity of the person coming, but he couldn't figure out why he wanted to seal the person down.

"Zi Yan, do you know why most common thieves work together with father, son and brother?" Chen Yulou did not explain immediately, but asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

Chen Ziyan replied: "Profits, people's hearts."

Chen Ziyan still knew this. Money and silk moved people's hearts, but it was never just as simple as words.

Many casual thieves initially work as a family unit, and this is what they need to be prepared for.

"Yes, I sealed that man deep in the ruins for the same reason." Chen Yulou said with appreciation.

Then he told Chen Ziyan the whole story.

The story begins decades ago. When he first settled in this area, he happened to meet Jin Abacus who was traveling here. After the two made friends, they planned to make a big deal.

In the process of searching for Minglou, they discovered the pre-Qin ruins under the stone tablet store. This place was the gathering place where the first emperor sent people to extract medicinal materials. It was just enough to conceive the medicine that Chen Yulou brought back from Yunnan.

That stone box jade beast.

Chen Yulou knew very little about Feng Shui, not to mention that he was already blind at that time, so naturally he could not complete this project alone.

After thinking about it, he told the truth about the matter to Jin Abacus, invited him to plan the matter together, and agreed that after the object was conceived and raised, the descendants of both parties would each rely on their own abilities.

Naturally, Jin Abacus would not refuse such a good thing, which led to what happened now.

Although the two of them were colluding to work together at the beginning, after all, it involved such a valuable treasure, so both parties arranged manpower here.

On the surface, Chen Yulou was the only one who accepted the apprentice, but in reality, Jin Abacus also made another arrangement. He found a clever little carpenter in the village, secretly helped him acquire this place, and gave him the money he obtained from the stone box.

He was taught a fortune-telling technique, saying that the feng shui here was unique and could breed a kind of spiritual fish, and he wanted to use this to tie up the little carpenter.

Unexpectedly, when he went to the depths of Longling to touch gold, he ended up in the tomb, which caused the little carpenter to lose control.

Chen Yulou already knew about this matter, but he also needed someone to guard him, so he did not secretly get rid of this "insider".

After all, this little carpenter knew very little and knew nothing about the actual secrets. He was a very good tool man.

With this coming and going, decades have passed in a hurry.

In a few decades, even a pig will become cunning, let alone a clever person to begin with.

Although the little carpenter didn't know the real secret here, he still found the stone box jade beast hidden in the altar. He didn't know how he got it, but he found out the true secret of the evil art from it.

Usage: It began to abandon the use of animals to feed spiritual fish, and instead switched to using living people as bait.

Regarding this matter, Chen Yulou, who had been paying attention to this place, was naturally aware of it.

However, after he discovered that the little carpenter's goal was very measured, he didn't mind his business. Anyway, those people would be punished sooner or later, so it didn't matter how they died.

In fact, according to Chen Yulou's plan, he planned to wait until the young carpenter died and then take away the stone box hidden here, so there was no need to deal with the subsequent 'insiders' personally.

But after all, the plan failed to catch up with the change. Chen Ziyan's appearance broke his plan. Now that he has to leave early, he must deal with the end of the matter.

After knowing each other for decades, he also knew the little carpenter's temperament very well. He knew that if he just took away the stone box, the other party would never sit back and wait for death.

And for a person who can eat people in disguise, no matter how hard he takes precautions, he can't be too careful.

Therefore, after Chen Yulou realized that someone was hiding the passage, he decisively set a trap and coaxed the former young carpenter, now the old owner of the coffin shop, to go down to the deepest part to check, thereby sealing it in the secret passage.

He knew that compared to the unknown stone box jade beast, the water pool below that could breed spiritual fish was the most important thing in the other person's heart.
