Chapter 311: The Bai Family Immortal Hall that has fallen to the ground
It was bright daylight, which was not a good thing for Lang Hongyi and I who appeared inexplicably in this exterminated house.
Faced with those official duties a hundred years ago, we can't guarantee that we will be lucky enough to meet a wise official.
Finding someone to settle the score with and avoiding the eyes of others are our top priorities.
Carrying my belongings with me, I walked quickly along the wall, choosing a place where there was no corpse blood, and went straight to the collapsed courtyard where the Bai Family Fairy Hall was.
This large pit that is difficult to see through at first glance is the hiding place I chose, and it is also the place where we are most likely to find the person we are looking for.
When I reached the edge of the pit, I closed the wooden door that was still connected to the courtyard wall in name only.
We could clearly hear someone screaming in such extreme terror that they even screamed in disbelief.
After that, bursts of screams came one after another, probably from the villagers who noticed something strange here.
Lang Hongyi glanced at me and said, "Someone should have reported to the police. Are you going to hide here and come out at night to continue looking for Hongying?"
I glanced around at the remaining walls around the collapsed yard, hoping to see if I could be lucky enough to see any clues about Hongying's existence.
But at this time, I really had extravagant expectations. There was nothing around except the grass on the wall.
The rope was in the bag that Lang Hongyi was carrying. My backpack was a little bit miserable because last night Lang Hongyi violently opened the bag to save me. I took out a thick rope, fixed one end, and threw the other ten meters in front of me.
in the deep pit.
A look full of resentment glanced at Lang Hongyi from the corner of his eyes, which made him feel a little embarrassed and raised his hand to grab his hair.
"I'll give you a new one later. I think you're stingy. It wasn't because of the emergency..."
"I'll go first. Pay attention to what's going on outside. If you are caught in this day and age, no one will catch you!"
The rope buckle I used is rather special. It is not the strongest carabiner, but a slippery buckle.
This buckle will be very strong when you start to put weight on it, but as you go to the back, it will become looser and slipperier, until it will completely loosen after a certain point.
In this way, after Lang Hongyi and I go down, the rope can fall by itself and no one will find it.
As for climbing up, sorry, we can only rely on physical strength to climb up little by little!
We worked really hard to escape from jail almost a hundred years ago!
I got off first because I weighed less and could slow down the loosening of the rope buckle, giving Lang Hongyi more time.
The good thing about this pit is that there is thick soil underneath and very little rubble and rocks, so it is relatively safe even if you roll down.
When we both reached the bottom of the pit and stepped on the place where the roof should have been, with earth beneath our feet, there was indeed a sound of banging on the courtyard door above.
These officials arrived very quickly, and I wondered with evil intentions whether these people screamed when they saw the horrific death of the Jian family, with hundreds of corpses.
There was a noise above our heads, and Lang Hongyi had quickly finished collecting the rope. The most important thing for us was to find a place to hide.
Otherwise, now we are just like bastards in a big bowl, lying unexpectedly at the bottom of the pit waiting for others to find us.
"Quick, here, it seems that the house hasn't completely collapsed. There is still some room for people to hide."
I found that a gap of about one meter high was exposed under the pointed roof.
He dragged Lang Hongyi out and hid inside. From this position, he could still hear the conversation of the people above him.
"What happened to this courtyard? Did some master come to Jian's family last night to seek revenge, wipe out all the Jian family members, and blast a big hole in this courtyard?"
I couldn't help but cover my mouth and chuckle. Well, I admit that the brain circuits of the ancients were as wild and dazzling as Zhang Wei's!
It was a waste for this eldest brother to be an official in ancient times. If he wears it back and writes novels, he will definitely become a great master and make a lot of money every day!
"No, no, he's not a master of martial arts. My relative works as an errand in the Jian family's house. He was the one who hit the pillar at the door before."
Someone else's voice interrupted nearby, thinking it was a villager who went to report to the official in the village.
"This courtyard collapsed like this on its own. Just a few days ago, this was originally the courtyard where the Jian family worshiped Baojiaxian and established the Immortal Hall. I heard that Baojiaxian no longer protected the Jian family and built it himself.
Leave like this!"
"Then who killed so many people outside! How can a normal person make the corpse look like that... ugh..."
Maybe the official remembered what he saw along the way and couldn't help but retched at the end.
I almost lost my voice when I heard it in the limited space below. Sure enough, anyone who sees such a scene can't help it!
So it’s not because I’m too good, I’m just normal and cute!
Lang Hongyi saw my appearance through the faint light, glanced at me angrily, turned his face, and actually made me see something named pampering, which made me shiver all over my body!
The conversation above was still going on. I don't know who said something, "There are people hanging on trees outside, and their stomachs are torn open. This can't be done by ghosts, after all, isn't this Baojiaxian aware of anything?"
, have you cut off your immortal roots in advance?"
Needless to say, I want to give this person a thumbs up and congratulate him for revealing the truth. The murderer was not only Blacksmith Song, but also Hongying, a half-crazy female ghost.
Those people left talking in succession. The situation outside was tragic. Naturally, not many people would pay too much attention to the collapsed courtyard.
My previous prediction was correct. After a while, everyone here was gone, and only Lang Hongyi and I were left.
If we are caught and press a family-killing devil to relieve the crisis, as long as we don't walk out by ourselves, no one will discover our existence.
All that's left is that I'm going to start causing trouble for others.
After hiding in, I already discovered that towards the inside and further into the space of the house below, there was still a large area that was not filled with soil.
Although if we wanted to get through, Lang Hongyi and I could only crawl forward, but we could still get by.
I didn't hesitate at all, I just dragged the backpack that couldn't close with one hand and crawled inside in the dark, with Lang Hongyi following closely behind me.
After crawling about less than ten meters, the space in front became relatively spacious, and a huge head appeared in front of me, almost eye-to-eye with me!
Don't be afraid, this is not something weird, it's the head of a statue, with a smiling and loving face, and hair tied back.
If you look carefully, there are also rounded earrings carved on the big earlobes next to the face. This is not the sculpture of Grandma Bai we have seen before in Baixian Temple. What else could it be?
It is precisely because the head of this statue is on the roof that it can support the space that appears in this area.
I stretched my head and took a look. There was a table not far below. The straight line distance was only more than two meters. It looked like it should be the altar table where tributes were placed in the past.
When the courtyard collapsed, the house did not collapse. It was just buried by the soil below and supported by stone statues. It basically retained its previous size, but the contents were mostly destroyed.
I jumped down and checked that the surrounding area was still safe. As soon as I raised my head to indicate to Lang Hongyi that he could come down, this man already landed on the altar table with a kick.
He twisted around and landed next to me. I really didn't know what to say.
Is it to praise this person for his unconditional trust in me, or to say that his brain circuit is abnormal and he doesn't know how to save the way out.
