Chapter 93 The Secret in the Ancient House
Suxi was seriously injured that day, and she seemed to see someone's figure in the heavy rain, but it was not very real.Then, with one breath, she reluctantly got up and fled.Any hesitation at this time is worthless, just like Zhao Wuyou said earlier, when you are capable of protecting others, you are called heroic, otherwise it is a drag.

The signal was sent out earlier, and the shadow guard arrived soon.

Therefore, Su Xi is thoughtful.

It's a pity that Zhao Wuyou and Mu Baili fell into the cliff together, and their life and death are unknown.

Suxi asked people to follow Dongchang, but she didn't dare to show her face.There are not many shadow guards brought out by myself, so it is not as efficient as Dongchang's work.Regardless of whether Zhao Wuyou is dead or alive, as long as there are people from Dongchang, Zhao Wuyou can see people as if he can see corpses.

The key now is not to find Zhao Wuyou's body, but to find Yunzheng and the others.

The inexplicable disappearance, disappearing so quickly, must be tricky.This house in the deep mountains and old forests is so weird that it makes one's heart shudder.

"Girl, the young master's life and death are unknown, what should we do now?" The shadow guard commander stepped forward.

Su Xi took a deep breath, and glanced at the dark area, all of them were wrapped in black clothes with cold swords on their bodies.After thinking for a while, Su Xi said, "Surround this house, the son sent someone to watch the people in Dongchang. We have few people, so if we want to find you, we have to fight with the people in Dongchang. It doesn't make much sense. It must be Even if the young master is present, he will not agree."

"Then we are going to find Miss Yunzheng now?" asked the leader of the shadow guards.

Suxi nodded, "Whether the young master is alive or dead, there must be an explanation. If the young master is lucky, the first thing to do after returning is to find out the whereabouts of Yunzheng and the others."

The commander of the shadow guard nodded, this is the truth.

"This house is very strange." Suxi narrowed her dangerous eyes, "I looked at it at the time, and I didn't find any traces of someone intruding, that is to say, people are probably still hiding inside."

"Such a fast speed is the best lightness kung fu, and it is impossible to be invisible. Unless there is some kind of secret passage in this house." The leader of the shadow guard frowned, "but we are all staring at It's been two days in this house, and I haven't found anyone coming out of it, isn't it strange?"

Su Xi's eyes were slightly cold, "I'll go check it out, don't act rashly."

"Okay!" The leader nodded.

But people from the bottom came to report that the people from Dongchang had prepared saltpeter to make gunpowder, as if they were going to blow up the valley below.

Su Xi's face tightened, "Don't hurt the young master."

"The people in the East Factory should be able to rest assured." The leader said, "You should know that their admiral is also in there. If you are not sure, you will never use such a powerful firearm, otherwise Mu Baili should be theirs if he is not dead." It's time to die."

Su Xi pursed her lips in agreement.

Holding the cold sword tightly in her hand, Su Xi looked at the house standing in the forest from a distance.Even in the sunlight, the house is extremely gloomy, and it looks like a ghost house at first glance.

But she doesn't believe in ghosts, she only believes in some people pretending to be ghosts.

Taking a deep breath, she jumped, and Su Xi landed in the house.

On that day, Yunzheng disappeared in the corridor, without any trace, only a coat that fell off the ground.

Su Xi leaned over to check around the railing, but it rained that night, so many traces had been washed away.Now even if you want to search carefully, it is not easy.

The railing was intact, no footprints or signs of struggle.

Taking a look at the weed-filled house, Su Xi's eyes were sharp, and she suddenly seemed to have discovered something.Stepping forward a few steps, pushing aside the grass, it turned out to be a bone.Whether it's animal bones or human bones, Su Xi has been around the rivers and lakes for many years and killed a lot of people, how can he not recognize them.

This is a human bone!

She stood up suddenly, how could there be human bones in this place?

This house——is really weird!
Withdrew and exited the house, after a while, several shadow guards entered.

In the courtyard of the house, they dug up many bones.Some of the bones had been corroded by the muddy water, and they were incomplete, but it could be seen that many people had died here.Whether it was buried on the spot or gradually covered by muddy water over time is unknown.

"It seems that many people have died here." The shadow guard commander narrowed his dangerous eyes, "No wonder this place is so dark."

"It's more than yin." Suxi took a deep breath, "Look at these pillars, there seem to be traces of fighting. But they were repaired afterwards, so that with the passage of time, they gradually changed. It's blurry. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it."

The leader of the shadow guards caressed the shallow and small marks on the corridor pillars, "It's probably the scratches left by a sharp knife."

"So this family should have been killed overnight instead of moving away." Su Xi felt a little agitated, what kind of grudge did she want to drive this family out of?

In this deep mountain and old forest, there is only such a house. The house is surrounded by trees and there is also a little wasteland.

"Look around!" Su Xi said, "Leave a few people here to search."

"Yes!" The shadow guard commander nodded, leaving a small group of people in the house.

Suxi walked out of the house, there are many empty places near the house, the trees here seem to be new compared to other places, the trunks are not very thick, and the age is not as old as the trees beside the house.

There is more than one place where this kind of emptiness exists, and there are many places.

Inexplicably, Su Xi felt a little uneasy.

Suddenly, it seemed as if something was stepped on under his feet.

Moving her feet away, Suxi leaned over and squatted down, "Dig here."

The shadow guard quickly stepped forward and even dug out a small piece of porcelain.

"What is this?" The shadow guard commander was taken aback.

Su Xi held it in her hand, looked left and right, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a broken bowl.She looked back at the house, it was already far away, why are there broken pieces of porcelain here?Is there a porcelain kiln here?However, the terrain and landform here are not suitable for building porcelain kilns, and the soil quality here is not suitable for firing porcelain.

Where did this tile come from?

"Maybe it's just a coincidence." The shadow guard said.

Su Xi nodded, probably it was just a coincidence, and then ordered, "Turn around to see if there are any traces."

Everyone quickly dispersed and shuttled through the woods.

Suxi stood on the open space, looking at the slightly raised dirt bag not far away, feeling a little sick.This place has always been Pingchuan, so why is there a bump in the earth all of a sudden?Take a look at this forest, there are various trees in the open space, according to the analysis of this terrain, there should be no protrusions.

Standing in front of the earth bag, Suxi walked around the earth bag, but didn't notice anything unusual.

"What's wrong?" the shadow guard commander asked.

"It's nothing, it's just a woman's intuition!" Su Xi smiled, "I just look around, but I feel that this place is a bit abrupt. If you look at this map of Pingchuan, it's unavoidable that something like this suddenly appeared."

"If it's strange, just dig it out and you'll find out." The shadow guard waved his hand, and someone came to dig right away.

Su Xi took a deep breath and walked aimlessly. In this empty place, the saplings are still new, and compared with the towering old trees beside them, they are still young.

Strangely, as she walked, she stepped on something again.

This forest is far away from the mountain road, so it is impossible for anyone to come here.Besides the people in that house, who else is wandering in the woods?Those who are on the road are in a hurry, unless they come to rest.But the house is there, so you should go to the house to take a rest and shelter from the rain, it is impossible in this wilderness forest.

It's half a bowl, this time Su Xi is sure, it's definitely a bowl.In other words, there may be traces of someone's activities here.

"Look around for me, and then use branches to mark where the tiles or tiles are found. I want to see how wide the area is." Suxi ordered, and the shadow guards immediately moved.

The wider the scope, the more traces of activities there are, and the more people who have gathered here.

If it is only in twos and threes, it means that it may be left behind by people on the road.

Su Xi only hoped that her conjecture would not come true, that terrible idea gradually spread in her heart.Walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, I have seen, heard, and seen, there are too many to count.

But some things are still cruel.

The shadow guards are busy, and the shadow guards in the Shangshu Mansion are still somewhat efficient.Soon, they found traces of what Su Xi wanted everywhere.Or porcelain pieces or tiles, and occasionally broken clay pots can be found.These things cannot be dissolved by fire or water, so they were left behind and slowly eroded by the years.

There are more and more branches, and traces are densely packed everywhere in this open space.

Su Xi's complexion was slightly pale, "Look for all the open spaces around here."

"Yes!" The shadow guards dispersed immediately.

Su Xi stood where she was, her eyes were coldly fixed on the branches on the ground.

The leader of the shadow guard shouted, "Girl!"

Hearing this, Suxi took three steps and made two steps, and quickly walked over.

The soil bag was dug open, and even Suxi's heart trembled with the scenes inside.She subconsciously clenched the cold sword in her hand, looking at the exposed bones and the mud-covered skull, her whole body became cold.

It was ruthless all around, and a cold wind whizzed past, passing over the branches and treetops.The bones that had been buried in the ground for an unknown number of years were dug out one by one.Incomplete, piecemeal.

It can be seen that some of the bones have been burned, and the bones are pitch black.

"I don't know how many thoughts I have." The leader of the shadow guard said, "If it wasn't a fluke to dig it up, I don't know how many years it would take to bury it. I guess it would have to be buried until the bones were turned into ashes! Maybe he died without looking at his eyes, so he was buried in such a hasty way, and he still died. It's a miracle that the bones survive."

Indeed, if the bones were buried on the ground, they must have rotted, and they would have rotted away in a few years.Unlike here, some bones and skulls are still intact, but they are petrified.

Given the natural conditions here, this should not have happened.

"Do you want to die with peace?" Su Xi mused to herself, her heart beating violently.

"A lot of people died, and they were all buried together." The shadow guard commander said, "This place is some distance from the mountain road. Could it be that bandits robbed money and killed people, so they were all buried here?"

Su Xi looked not far away, there were traces of the busy shadow guards, and in the open space not far away, there were also branches inserted into the soil.This shows that there are traces of someone's activities there.

"It's not robbers." Su Xi murmured, her face turning blue, "It's someone who wiped out the entire village and killed everyone here."

The commander of the shadow guard was shocked, "Tucun?!"
