Is it possible that you, like him, are an enemy of this family?
He Feilong is a usurper, and you might be a traitor!
I find this kind of ethical drama unbelievable.
I'm completely numb after saying all this!
The woman was shocked.
"Brother, are you saying that I am a member of their family, but my ancestors betrayed their original clan?"
The woman finally understood and pointed to her face: "Am I a traitor?"
I gave a bitter smile: "That must be it! So the situation back then was probably that someone in your family colluded with He Feilong's ancestors to replace the original family!"
That's why similar things happened later. He Feilong's family was cursed, almost to the point of being wiped out, and you were also marked with that curse!
Once it all connects, everything makes sense!
This perfectly explains why there was such a vicious thing on the old lady!
These are all family secrets!
So neither of us are good people?
After hearing this explanation, the fat man couldn't hold back any longer.
I understand the feelings of the fat man and the middle-aged woman. One thought he was a good person, and the other thought he was a victim.
As it turned out, when the truth came out, neither of them were good people.
"Alright, girl, it seems we're destined to be together. Let's team up again here!"
The fat man switched roles quite quickly, preparing to team up with the auntie again to overcome this challenge.
The older woman just rolled her eyes, ignored the fat man, and instead took my arm.
"Let's go, brother. We're already here. Let's go inside and take a look. Maybe we'll find the clues we're looking for!"
With the help of the older woman, we entered this secret room.
It's less of a secret room and more of a hidden passage.
It's exactly the same as the secret passage under the guesthouse.
Even the patterns are almost identical, and there are various paintings of gods on the walls.
This includes the owl god.
Judging from the content of these paintings, the most revered of all the gods is the Owl God.
“Shenwu County originally worshipped the Owl God, but for some reason, in the end, only Haopo Village remained as a believer!”
I found some answers in these murals.
The owl god is depicted as extremely revered in the murals, as if he were the head of all gods.
In other words, the people of Shenwu County at that time held this deity in great awe.
But for some unknown reason, that reverence disappeared, and in the end, only Haopo Village retained this reverence.
"Entering our clan's core territory! Die!"
Suddenly, a deep, guttural sound came from inside the passage, as if it came from hell.
The sound caused intense tinnitus in both of my ears.
The older woman next to him was alright, but the fat man was already scared out of his wits.
"Sir, there's something ghostly here!"
The fat man screamed.
The voice grew lower and lower, emanating an evil aura and an incredibly thick resentment.
Immediately following the stone gate, it closed abruptly, blocking the entrance.
My heart sank. My first thought was that things were going to go wrong. They probably already knew that the old lady was a traitor, so they lured us in to kill the three of us.
"Grandpa, are the three of us going to die here?"
The fat man couldn't hold back his tears and cried uncontrollably.
The sound grew closer, and the eerie atmosphere inside the tunnel intensified.
I raised my lightning sword, ready for battle.
No matter how strong the opponent is, I have no intention of backing down. Let's just do it now!
A man suddenly appeared inside the tunnel.
They were dressed like servants from the Ming Dynasty, so they were probably servants of this household.
I counted them, and there were exactly seventeen.
Seventeen again!
This family seems to have a grudge against the number seventeen!
Each puppet held a long spear, like a private soldier.
They were staring at me, or rather, staring at the fat man behind me.
laugh!
The lead puppet brandished its spear and pierced right through the fat man.
"Xiao He, are you alright?"
After the fat man was stabbed, he was thrown away. I quickly ran to him to check his injuries.
"I'm so sorry, sir, I've dragged you into this!"
The fat man was spitting out large amounts of blood, and his body had become extremely weak.
"Sir, you and the girl go ahead, don't worry about me!"
The fat man pushed me away, which almost moved me to tears. Although I really wanted to leave, the door was blocked, and we couldn't leave at all!
Several puppets struck a pose and immediately locked onto me as their target.
"Die! Die! Die!"
The puppet emitted a mechanical sound, and seventeen guns rushed towards me.
Just as I was about to dodge, the old lady ran in front of me and blocked the puppets.
"Come at me!"
The older woman blocked my way and shouted loudly at the puppet.
This action also aroused the hatred of those puppets.
The puppet pointed its spear at the old woman and thrust it at her.
I checked the fat man's breathing; although the puncture wound was in his abdomen, there wasn't much blood.
Although the fat man was grimacing in pain, it did not affect his mobility at all.
"There's not a trace of life in his body; even if he's pierced through, he'll still be in this state!"
I examined the fat man's body; his mouth was twitching slightly. I really didn't know whether his condition was good or bad.
Fat men are essentially like corpses; once pierced, they have no chance of survival. The only difference is that fat men can feel pain.
"Why don't you try moving your body first?"
I helped the fat man up so he could move around a bit. He obeyed and twisted his waist and lifted his legs.
"Grandpa, you know what, I don't seem to be affected at all! And it doesn't hurt much!"
This thrilled the fat man.
She was twisting her neck and waist.
I was speechless: "You were crying your eyes out just now, you were practically calling for your mom!"
"I thought it hurt, but this old man reminded me, and now it doesn't hurt as much!"
The fat man chuckled.
"Look at this girl! Holy crap, this girl's awesome!"
The fat man pointed in the direction of the old woman and shouted.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that the old woman was holding off seventeen puppets all by herself.
I don't know what secret method they used to control these seventeen puppets.
However, the bulging veins on the woman's forehead showed that doing this was not an easy task for her.
"Huahua! Help me check if there are any guardians inside this tunnel? If so, how do I control them? Wait! No need!"
I had just taken out the bronze mirror, intending to ask Hua Hua if there was any way, when it suddenly occurred to me that I might be able to use the bronze mirror to take in these seventeen guardians.
I took out a bronze mirror and pointed it at the seventeen puppets.
The next second, the golden puppet flashed and I put it into the mirror.
"That's it?"
The middle-aged woman, who had just been exhausted and nearly collapsed, looked at me in disbelief.
