Taboo Master

Chapter 325 Zhong's Ancestral Hall
I stretched my hand backwards and scratched it a few times, but it didn't work. The itching on my back became more and more intense. At this time in the car, the itchy spot was a little in the middle. The aunt next to me kept looking at me.

I didn't care about her, and after rubbing it for a while, the itching got better. I thought to myself, could it be caused by the too much humidity in the hotel yesterday?Or... from too many days without a shower?

Or... was he recruited last night?

I really wanted to find a mirror to see what was wrong with me right away, but at this moment, the bus started slowly. I opened my mouth and sat down helplessly. I asked just now, this bus There are only two trips a day. If you miss it, you have to wait until three o'clock in the afternoon. In that case, it will be dark again when you arrive at Shiqiaozhong Village.

No way, I endured the occasional itch on my back, forced myself to think about other things to distract my attention, and hoped in my heart that I would arrive at my destination sooner.

This bus is actually quite worn out. After leaving the county town, it bumped for an hour on a road that was not very smooth before the bus finally stopped. , by the way, stop for 5 minutes, hurry up if you have to go to the toilet..."

When she yelled, the car went down more than half of it in a moment of sputtering. I naturally got out of the car and looked up. The car was parked beside the road. The leaves of the poplar trees have long since withered, and the bare branches are shivering in the cold wind. In the depths of the poplar trees, a village is faintly exposed.

I walked a few steps forward, and there was a stone tablet beside the road, with three large characters written on it: Stone Bridge Bell.

I was inexplicably excited, tightened my clothes, and walked forward. I hope this is Xiaobai's hometown.

In this train, no one was at the same station as me, which made my idea of ​​finding someone to ask for help. Fortunately, it seemed quite far from the side of the road to the village, but after walking for about 10 minutes, it was already here. When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I looked to the left and right. It was a little strange that the roads in this village were empty and there was no one there.

Even, the gates of every house were closed, and it was deserted. If there were not a few children playing on the wall in front of them, I would have suspected that this was a sign that the devil was about to enter the village.

I walked over, waved to those children with a smile on my face, and said, "Little friend, I want to ask..."

Unexpectedly, those children turned their heads together and said in unison: "I don't know..."

I was stunned immediately, I didn't ask before, so I said I don't know?What does this mean...

I didn't care that much, and I asked if I didn't know.

"Well, little friend, I'm here to look for Xiaobai, Mo Xiaobai, do you know him?" I changed the method this time, and directly said I was looking for Xiaobai, and what I asked was whether you knew him, if Xiaobai's home is really this village, and with his personality, these children must be familiar with him. If these children say they don't know each other, then it's probably not here.

If they still say they don't know, then there may be a problem...

This time my method seemed to be right. When the children heard Xiaobai's name, they immediately turned their heads, looked at me and said, "Who are you?"

"Ah, I'm, I'm his cousin, I came to look for him from other places..." I decided to use this identity, anyway, Xiaobai's mother's home is not here, and these children probably don't know who his cousin is .

An older boy immediately jumped off the wall, looked up at me and said, "Are you here to save Brother Bai?"

I understood as soon as I heard it, I found the right one!

"That's right, I'm here to save him. Tell me, where is he?" I immediately became nervous. Even if these children said that, something must have happened.

The child pointed to the depths of the village and said: "The ancestral hall, everyone is in the ancestral hall. The third uncle said that Brother Xiaobai colluded with outsiders and stole some treasures. He is going to be accused. If the second uncle didn't stop him, the day before yesterday... "

The child seemed very anxious, and spoke very quickly, but he spoke clearly. I was about to ask carefully, when suddenly the door of the house opened, and a person came out in a hurry, pulled the child back, and shouted: "No Many mouths!"

After all, without even looking at me, he turned around and closed the door.

I was shocked, it seems that something really happened this time.

I turned around and ran into the village, this time I came at the right time!
The village is not very big, only two streets, probably dozens of households, I ran to the other side of the village in one breath, in front of is a large yard, throwing some stone rollers and other things, there are a few There was a big firewood pile, and looking forward, it was a big mansion that looked quite imposing, it was dark, although it was broad daylight at this time, but it looked like a gloomy feeling.

I nodded secretly, this must be the Zhong Family Ancestral Hall.

However, I suddenly felt awkward, and I couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was. I was always a little uneasy, and at the same time, my back felt a little itchy.

I walked to the front of the ancestral hall, stopped, and subconsciously scratched my back. There was wind blowing by my ears, and it was very cold, but in the wind, there was silence. Standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall, I couldn't even hear the slightest sound. less than.

This eerie silence was a little scary, I took a deep breath, no matter what, since I came here today, even if it is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, I have to break into it.

I stretched out my hand to push the door. Although the door of the ancestral hall was closed tightly, it opened casually. I walked in, but it was still quiet inside.

I became more and more puzzled. This ancestral hall looks very large, and it looks very simple and magnificent. Standing in the yard, there are front halls, backyards, side rooms, and main rooms. It has an area of ​​hundreds of square meters. .

I had just walked a few steps forward when I suddenly saw two people standing in front of me, poking there motionless, looking straight ahead, I hurriedly dodged and hid behind the house, my heart beating a little faster, I was almost spotted by them .

This situation seems a bit wrong. Since there are guards at the front door, why not let me go to the room.

Thinking of this, I jumped up to the roof, and then stepped on the roof tiles carefully, keeping my eyes on the two guards, and then quietly went up to the side room.

I was very careful during this process. Fortunately, I didn't make too much noise. After a while, I was sneaked all the way to the main hall in the backyard.

Pressing my body against the roof, I let out my breath slowly. This is the largest hall in the entire ancestral hall. There are four people standing at the door patrolling. Through the roof, I can faintly hear the voices talking below. I know that it must be here. .

I calmed down and listened carefully, but I couldn't hear anything clearly, so I slowly stretched out my hand, lifted a few roof tiles, pried off a wall brick below, and carefully looked down.

Sure enough, there were many people standing in this hall, old and young, there were more than 100 people. The furnishings in the hall were also very simple, except for a few long black tables placed in the middle, on which were densely packed dozens of memorial tablets. There are still many portraits on the wall, and the hall is filled with incense and mist. Everyone is very serious, watching a person in the middle talking together.

This man was a middle-aged man about 40 years old, with a slightly thin body and a gloomy face. With one hand behind his back, he was loudly reprimanding two people who were kneeling on the ground.

The two people had their backs to me, and I could only see half of their backs from my angle, but I recognized it at once. The man kneeling on the left was Mo Xiaobai, and beside him was an older man. Yes, I guess, it should be his second uncle, but at this moment, both of them are tied up, kneeling on the ground, with a strong man pressing behind them, and they have no strength to resist.

"...Mo Xiaobai, as a descendant of the Zhong clan and the eldest grandson of my father, you have taken a different surname, and you have already lost the qualification to inherit the status of the clan. How dare you collude with outsiders and steal the family's treasures from generation to generation? Now that the evidence is solid and the stolen goods are all there, what else do you have to quibble about?"

That middle-aged man should be Xiaobai's third uncle. After he finished these few words, without waiting for Xiaobai to defend himself, he pointed to the person next to him and said, "Zhong Lianghan, you are the elder of the clan, and I am the second elder brother." , I have always respected you, and even entrusted you with the heavy responsibility of guarding the ancestral hall. I never thought that you would join hands with Mo Xiaobai to give away your own treasure. I don't know how many things I have to give to this evil obstacle."

Hearing the words, the man raised his head and uttered ahhh repeatedly, as if he wanted to explain, but he was dumb and couldn't speak, he only yelled anxiously, but couldn't utter a single word.

I was on the roof, and when I heard what this man said, I was even more astonished. It turned out that what Mo Xiaobai said happened happened, and it turned out that he was wronged for stealing treasure.I was very angry in my heart. We took a lot of effort to get the Zhong Kui bone that day, and Xiaobai took the Zhong Kui bone home immediately and asked why, but unexpectedly, not only did his third uncle not reward him The credit for retrieving the stolen treasure is said to be colluding with outsiders to steal the treasure, and even tied up his second uncle. What is the intention?

"Everyone knows that the old patriarch's health is not good, and I, Zhong Liangchen, have been handling the affairs of the clan. Just a few days ago, when this little villain came back, I found out that something was wrong. I wanted to interrogate him at that time, but this Zhong Liangchen still I kept blocking it. It wasn't until yesterday that I finally investigated and found out that they were accomplices. This time Nie Biao came back to use this Zhong Kui bone to threaten me to hand over the position of patriarch and he would replace it. Naturally, I couldn't agree, so, At the behest of the old patriarch, I had no choice but to arrest these two traitors and bring them to the ancestral hall today. In front of the ancestors, I made the crimes of these two people public. Everyone said, what should I do with them today? "

As he said that, Zhong Liangchen took the black Zhong Kui bone from the altar, held it with both hands above his head, and stared proudly at the audience, and someone shouted from below.

"Kill them, kill these two traitors!"

"Use their souls to pay homage to the spirits of our ancestors!"

"Let them go to the Netherworld in person and plead guilty to the ancestor of the Celestial Master!"

"Patriarch, you should find out their purpose of stealing treasures, and eradicate them together with other party members!"

The people below were silent just now, but in a blink of an eye they became enraged, pointing at the two people who had been tied up, and saying everything, they wanted to smash the two people into ten thousand pieces immediately to relieve their hatred.

Zhong Liangchen looked at the two of them, sneered, and said slowly: "Since this is everyone's intention, as the acting patriarch, I can't disobey it, but it's about brotherhood and fellowship. I'll give you 5 minutes , if you can’t confess your accomplices, or can’t make an excuse of innocence, then I can only send you to meet the ancestors of the Tianshi family.”

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and several strong men immediately turned the two of them around, and stood facing the crowd. Only then did I see that Mo Xiaobai's mouth was blocked by a piece of cloth, and he was whimpering. , but couldn't say anything at all, and his second uncle opened his mouth wide and jumped in a hurry, but he was helpless and couldn't say a word.

The fire in my heart came up in a flash, and the talk was to make them confess and defend, but they blocked their mouths. How can this **** talk?And the expressions of these people below were numb, as if they couldn't see, they just shouted there.

Forget it, these people seem to be in the same group as his third uncle. I stomped hard, and the tiles on the roof shattered, revealing a big hole. Everyone below exclaimed and looked up. , I don't care about 21, I just jumped out of the big hole
