Elder Zhao looked at the old prosthetic limb and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"This thing is very cleverly designed. It should have been made by a famous artist. I wonder if there are any skilled craftsmen in the ancient clan who specialize in this?"

After Lin Mengya read through it, she asked her doubts on the paper.

Perhaps the identity of the corpse can be determined from this point.

Elder Zhao sighed softly before mentioning it.

"There is indeed a family in the ancient tribe that can create such a thing. Not only that, they are also very good at mechanisms, secret passages, and even the Five Elements Yin and Yang Illusion Formation. They are no exception."

Having said this, he frowned slightly.

"However, they have always been used by the Presbyterian Church. Except for some fixed quotas every year, no one is allowed to order items from them privately. Even I only have one chance every year."

Mechanisms, unknown secret rooms, exquisite prosthetics.

It is obviously not that simple to put these things together.

Judging from the traces inside the tunnel, it is obvious that it has existed here for a long time.

You must know that Elder Zhao is now Elder Sanhui.

Before he was promoted, no one in the Zhao family should have the qualifications to order these things from that family.

But unfortunately, they just exist.

Lin Mengya keenly captured the key point.

"It's also possible that someone else from the Presbyterian Church did this?"

Even though he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit this possibility.

Narrowing his eyes, Zhao Yixuan couldn't help but feel chilled as he thought of the contributions he had made to the Presbyterian Church over the years.

The man had a similar appearance to him when he was young, and he was imprisoned in the basement of his study. Even before today, he had no idea of ​​the secrets hidden in this secret room.

This made him feel like he was being feared and even plotted against.

It was as if there were spies watching him everywhere, making him feel distrustful of everyone.

Maybe, the dead bones in the secret room were him, and now it was just a dream he had before dying.

Lin Mengya soon discovered that Elder Zhao seemed to be in a trance.

She immediately knocked on the table hard.

With a "boom" sound, Zhao Yixuan suddenly woke up from his confusion.

"I am"

He looked at his hands.

At that moment, he actually felt completely hopeless.

Thinking back on it, I feel a little baffled.

No matter how much the withered bones looked like him, they were not him.

So what's going on with him?

Lin Mengya saw that Elder Zhao didn't look right, so she quickly checked him.

There was nothing else, except that his spirit was a little unusually lethargic.

Could it be said that the other party was killed by that body?

The corpse was frightened?

After thinking about it, she wrote seriously, "Actually, it's just a dead body. It's already dead, so there is no danger anymore."

Elder Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party thought he was afraid.

"I'm not afraid, I'm just"

Lin Mengya looked at the other party with sympathy.

"Yes, you are not afraid, you just find it difficult to accept it for the moment. It's okay, I am a professional doctor, and I will not laugh at you."

Elder Zhao

He pinched his eyebrows hard and was sure that this girl was here to make him angry to death!

In the end, the prosthetic limb was properly kept by Elder Zhao.

In fact, the mechanism of the secret room is not very tight.

However, as a member of the Zhao family, Elder Zhao would not easily touch the spiritual throne of his ancestors.

But for Xu'er, an outsider, there is nothing to be taboo about.

There are indeed several secret compartments in the study, but they are designed to be very secretive. At least if Lin Mengya comes looking for them, he won't be able to find them for a while, so it is considered safe.

The two had a tacit understanding. Zhao Yixuan planned to investigate the source of the prosthetic limb, while Lin Mengya chose to continue to be a transparent person and inquire about relevant matters in the house.

This house was built only a dozen years ago, but the living person hidden under the study died in recent years.

So before that, some unusual things must have happened in the Zhao family.

And she wanted to pick out the ones related to the secret room among them, so that she might be able to figure out the reason for the existence of the secret room.

After she secretly left the study, she was about to return to her room, but was stopped by Xu'er.

"Mute slave, where did you run just now?"

It was almost dusk by now.

The other person's face was hidden in the shadow of the corridor, and for some reason, it seemed to be coated with a sinister coldness.

Mute slave, this is the new name "given" to her by Mrs. Duan yesterday.

It sounds like a name that carries with it the outdated customs of feudal society.

However, the other party felt that he had given her a great honor.

Lin Mengya stood still and gestured in the direction of the backyard.

Xu'er walked over slowly and said in a nonchalant manner, "Madam, I'm not promoting you so that you can cheat in this house. If I can't find you next time, I will definitely let you know about me."

sharp."

Lin Mengya quickly shook her head.

Xu'er glared at her fiercely before letting her follow her.

In the front yard, lanterns have been lit.

Compared with the deserted situation of the past few days, the Zhao family has regained its vitality now.

Mrs. Duan, dressed dignifiedly, stood in the middle of the crowd

.

Compared with Aunt Fang's glamorous air that always carries a sense of distance, Mrs. Duan is more like a gentle white lotus.

After only a few days, she already seemed to have the aura of being the mistress of the house.

Lin Mengya only glanced at it and then lowered her head.

What is fake will always be fake.

The architectural style of the Zhao family and the Huo family are exactly the same, which seems to be incompatible with Mrs. Duan.

It's just that no one has noticed this subtle change yet.

Buildings also resemble people.

After living there for a long time, the temperament will be similar.

Here, Mrs. Duan smiled and held her niece's hand. Amidst the compliments from everyone, she greeted her niece.

"Are you tired from the journey? Look at you, why are you still acting like a child?"

"Aunt, I'm not tired. By the way, have you prepared the room for me that I asked you to prepare?"

The girl's voice was crisp, with a bit of a daughter's delicate air.

Mrs. Duan scratched the tip of her nose.

"Everything is ready, girl, what are you going to do mysteriously?"

"It was to help my savior recover from his injuries! Auntie, you don't know that I was almost kidnapped by robbers on the way. Fortunately, my savior appeared in time and I survived. And he was seriously injured trying to save me.

, I can’t repay kindness with hatred.”

Mrs. Duan immediately asked with concern, "What? Encountered a robber? Are you injured? Really, why doesn't Brother know to send more guards for you?"

"Okay, aunt, I was careless. By the way, please help me choose a suitable person to take care of him. It's always inconvenient for me to live with a daughter."

The coquettish voice was really irresistible.

Lin Mengya felt goosebumps all over her body.

Can't you speak properly? Do you have to prolong your voice to be cute? It's better to listen to the sheep braying, at least it's more natural.
