Walking inside through the gate, what comes into view is a majestic and domineering hall, which is completely black and gives people a complete sense of oppression.
The rotten copper and iron seemed to have been burned by a fire, and there was still a smell of gunpowder smoke.
Looking at the hall in front of him, Ye Qiu suddenly remembered something and called out to Ye Wuhen in front of him.
"senior!"
"Well, what's wrong?"
Ye Wuhen turned back in confusion, only to hear Ye Qiu looking at the ruins on the left and saying, "I want to go there and take a look..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Wuhen frowned instantly and looked in the direction Ye Qiu pointed.
That place was once the ancient site of the Ye clan, where the clan leader once lived. It was burned down by a fire due to a turmoil decades ago.
After experiencing the tragic death of his wife and children, Ye Wuhen did not dare to face the mansion and never set foot in the ruins again, so it has been abandoned until now.
Now hearing Ye Qiu say that he wanted to go over there and take a look, Ye Wuhen suddenly fell silent.
He didn't know why Ye Qiu suddenly wanted to go there, but he was silent for a long time, as if he had let go of his past.
"Haha, since you want to go, let's go and take a look."
Ye Wuhen did not refuse, and led the way. As he walked, he introduced: "There used to be a mansion here. It was the place where my bloodline was located."
"But unfortunately, a fire burned this place down. Over the years, I have been busy managing the family and stabilizing the situation within the clan, so I have never been able to clean it up."
Listening to him talk about the past of this ruin, Bai Junlin and Yaya nodded thoughtfully, feeling it was a pity.
But Ye Qiu walked silently behind, suddenly turned around and walked towards the abandoned copper and iron hall on the left.
Ye Wuhen was very puzzled by his strange behavior, but he did not stop him and let him go.
Ye Qiu was seen coming into the abandoned hall, passing through the side door, and walking to a chopping board at the back.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Junlin walked up curiously, only to see Ye Qiu squatting down and groping under the chopping board, as if he had triggered some mechanism.
Bang…
Suddenly there was a crisp sound, and a door suddenly opened in the iron wall in the distance.
"Um?"
At this moment, Ye Wuhen was completely shocked. How did Ye Qiu know that there was a secret door there?
If he remembered correctly, behind the secret door was the secret room that the deceased eldest son had built for his cultivation.
However, after the secret room was successfully built, he was still underage and unable to practice, so he never used it, and then the Ye clan turmoil occurred.
As the secret room gradually revealed its true appearance, Ye Qiu's solemn expression suddenly turned into a smile.
"Haha... Such a familiar place. Is this a dream, or have I really been here before?"
Ye Qiu couldn't help but ask himself. In his mind, there were many images of this place, but most of them were incomplete and scattered.
It seemed to have appeared in a dream, but Ye Qiu couldn't remember it clearly.
The secret room was very empty. Ye Qiu walked in slowly. Through the cracks in the secret room, he could see everything going on outside.
It was like a dream, in a fire, with flames and smoke everywhere, a woman was lying helplessly in the sea of fire, looking at him with unwilling eyes, and ignoring his words, telling him not to come out.
Ye Qiu gently stroked the stone wall with his fingers, turned around and looked at the bed behind him. It seemed that there was a child hiding underneath.
The child was not very big, only about three or four years old. He had no idea what was happening outside and fell asleep peacefully.
Ye Qiu just watched quietly, and suddenly a tear inexplicably flowed down his face.
He himself didn't even notice it, as if there was a heart-wrenching pain in his heart that came very suddenly.
The young and ignorant boy in the dream eventually walked out of the secret room, leaving only the half-grown child behind, who led all the rioters away alone.
There were a determined look on his young and tender face. He knew that if he did not show up, this place would be exposed sooner or later, and then the child hiding under the bed would not be able to escape death.
“Damn it!”
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head and Ye Qiu cursed angrily. He tried desperately to recall all the scenes in his dream, but it seemed that something blocked his sight.
When I wanted to remember it again, I had forgotten it all.
"Master, what happened to you?"
Yaya was a little worried. She had never seen her master behave so abnormally. She was very scared and worried.
He kept pulling Ye Qiu's clothes, while Bai Junlin and Ye Wuhen watched it all silently.
After a long time, Ye Qiu finally came to his senses. The scenes in his mind seemed to have been completely forgotten, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Yeah... I'm fine."
Ye Qiu frowned. He couldn't remember anything about what happened just now. Then he asked, "Why are we here?"
"Brother, have you forgotten that you are the one who brought us here?"
"I brought you here?"
"How is that possible?"
Ye Qiu looked at him questioningly, "Are you trying to make fun of me? How could I bring you to a place like this?"
After these words were spoken, everyone was speechless.
Ye Wuhen did notice some clues. He had always felt that something was wrong, and now his guess had been confirmed.
Ye Qiu had never been to the Ye clan, but he knew everything about the situation there. This was too strange.
"Could it be that this boy is really my son?"
Ye Wuhen couldn't help but guess, but unfortunately he didn't have any evidence. If he rashly recognized him, Ye Qiu would only think he was a psycho and become distant from him.
So he did not act rashly, and silently recalled what Meng Tianzheng said when he met Ye Qiu in Zhaixing Tower.
"He owes you this!"
At first, Ye Wuhen found it strange when Meng Tianzheng suddenly said this, but he didn’t think much about it at the time.
But now when I think back on it, I suddenly feel that there must be some mystery behind this sentence.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. With Meng Tianzheng's cultivation level and mentality, it was impossible for him to say such a thing for no reason.
He and Ye Qiuping are close friends, so how could I owe him anything?
"No, this is definitely weird!"
Ye Wuhen, who was already very suspicious, now began to suspect Meng Tianzheng.
Could this be a trap he set up deliberately? Is there a possibility that his son, who was supposed to have died in the turmoil, did not die?
Instead, he was taken away by Meng Tianzheng! Sent to the underworld, and his memory was sealed?
It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to do such a thing in front of so many people.
But Meng Tianzheng definitely could do it. With his strength at that time, it would be extremely easy to achieve this.
Moreover, he happened to be present when the Ye clan rioted and witnessed it all with his own eyes.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this conjecture was reliable, but Ye Wuhen just had no evidence.
Unless Meng Tianzheng is willing to admit it himself!
However, if he really wanted to say it, he should have said it when he was on the sacred mountain, but he didn't say it, he just said a bunch of incomprehensible words.
