"Which bodyguard is it?"

Mike picked up his cell phone, turned over a picture from inside and handed it to Tang Qingxue, "that's him! His name is Li Bin! "

Tang Qingxue took a look and was very surprised, "it's him!!"

"Does grandma have an impression of him?" Mike asked, because there are too many bodyguards at home, I just say hello when I see Tang Qingxue. There is no too many intersection. I basically don't know my name.

"Yes, I saw him in the study a few days ago... Let's go upstairs and have a good search in the study!"

Tang Qingxue remembered that the last time he saw Shaoqing picking dripping Guanyin in the yard, he asked the bodyguard to look at the below, so he was familiar with him

"OK!" Mike waved and took all the bodyguards upstairs.

In an instant, the study became lively.

"Let's search carefully to see if there is anything missing..." Tang Qingxue ordered.

Ten minutes later, a bodyguard suddenly screamed, "there is blood here..."

Tang Qingxue hurriedly turned around and saw a trace of blood, which should have been artificially wiped, but still left a faint trace. The trace dragged from the desk to the back of the bookcase, and then disappeared. It felt that half of it disappeared in the wall inexplicably.

Tang Qingxue looked at the wall, reached out and knocked, and suddenly said, "here, dismantle, here is hollow..."

Seeing this, Mike came forward and knocked on the wall with his fist. He found that there was indeed a virtual sound inside. It must be a hollow wall. However, he didn't dismantle it immediately, but continued to knock around with his fist for a while. Finally, he said in surprise, "there is a door here. Wait a minute, I'll find the mechanism..."

At Mike's beckon, all the bodyguards came and looked around for traces on the wall.

Finally, I finally found an invisible mechanism. From that place, I can take off the wallpaper. After taking off, I can see a very narrow door, which is almost closely combined with the wall. I can't see it without looking carefully.

There is a small lock on the door. It is inlaid. It is locked so tightly that it can't be pushed open at all.

"Young grandma, this lock is not on this door. I remember that there was no such inlaid lock at the same time as this castle. It should be installed within this year..."

Tang Qingxue nodded and looked at the door. She knew what had happened recently, all kinds of suspicious and terrible secrets, and all the answers were behind the door.

Mike tried to use the iron wire to cover the lock, but he didn't open it for a long time. He took an axe and began to cut the door.

The door panel is made of wood. It can't stand the fierce chop of several young men. It will be cut off in a short time. A small broken hole leaked out. Mike poked his arm in, touched the lock handle along the back of the shaped door, and opened it with a gentle twist.

When the door opened, many black crows flapped their wings and flew out of it.

The crowd exclaimed and retreated.

"Be careful, young grandma!"

Mike thought something terrible creature was coming, so he quickly covered Tang Qingxue with his body.

Soon, after wandering around the study, the group of black crows flew out of the window. For a long time, everyone covered their eyes with their sleeves in panic and didn't dare to look. Pity first reflected, "the book says that this black crow is the soul of the dead!"

But when they tried, several people looked at her, but they didn't take it seriously, and no one answered her.

"Madam, it's all right. You can come in!" Mike came in.

This is a completely closed room with no windows. Only when the narrow door is opened can a ray of light penetrate in, so that you can see everything inside without force. Tang Qingxue remembered that when she saw the mysterious figure last time, he mysteriously disappeared. Presumably, he should have fallen into the back of the room. No wonder she couldn't find it. It turned out that there was such a mechanism.

The dim light added some mysterious color to the dusty little room, and pity quickly came in with a candle.

"Cousin, this room has been closed for too long. Try it with candles first, so as not to hurt people..." she suggested with compassion.

Tang Qingxue took the candle and handed it to Mike. After a pause, she turned and looked at Lianxin. "Go downstairs and read it. Be careful what happens."

All the bodyguards are here. In case of bad guys invading, it will be troublesome.

Pity nodded and hurried out.

Mike walked forward with a candle. The room was small and slender, but it was two meters wide, but it was nearly ten meters long. It can be seen that this room should have been part of the study. Later, it was deliberately isolated by wooden walls. Strangely, there was a long mural on both sides of the room, These murals are painted directly on the wall with paint. These murals are bright in color and the characters are very vivid.

Because Tang Qingxue studied traditional Chinese medicine, she was familiar with the scenes of ancient people's lives. What was painted here was the scene of sacrifice. The map was like a big snake entrenched in a regiment. A priest like man waved a scepter. Behind him was a row of cross frame torture tools, on which the dead were hung. Some of the people who were hanged were short of arms and legs, And those with their nose and ears cut off look terrible. Moreover, the position of the priest and the victim is the eye of the snake.

There are some strange words on it. Tang Qingxue can't understand them. After reading them for a long time, he doesn't understand what they mean.

Mike looked with relish and walked down the corridor with a candle

The other bodyguards were timid. They stood in place and looked at it. They hesitated and didn't dare to follow up.

"Young grandma..."

Mike finally stopped, and Tang Qingxue came over.

"Well, do you understand what it means? Why are there such strange murals? " Tang Qingxue asked strangely.

Mike smiled, "grandma, this mural is not really painted by the ancients, because from these murals and hieroglyphs, this scene was recorded thousands of years ago. At that time, humans only used murals to record scenes on rocks. Moreover, the painting material is obviously a product of modern society. Therefore, I speculate that the author of the mural is a modern man. He must have imitated a certain scene. "

Tang Qingxue nodded, "when was that painted?"

"I don't know. Maybe it was painted when the castle was just built, or shortly after the castle was built. It doesn't matter when. What matters is what these murals want to convey... "

"Tell me, what does this mural mean?" Tang Qingxue asked anxiously.

"Did you see the snake?" Mike pointed to the big silver snake that repeated a lot on the mural.

"Well, I see..."

"The terrain that looks like a snake is actually Qianhu island. A long time ago, the periphery of the island was surrounded by swirling rivers. It was too long, so these circles were flooded and connected. The last time I dived to the bottom of the lake, I saw huge rings like dikes, about ten meters deep under the water. The mural is a legend. She is a banshee with a snake head. Her body is covered with silver scales. Her two eyes are only frost and flame. Her real body is transformed into Qianhu island. Her eyes are extremely evil. As long as she sees the living creatures, they will fall into hell. It is said that the Banshee appears once in a hundred years. When the Banshee appears, nine people must sacrifice... "Mike explained with some difficulty. Although he understood the meaning of the painting, his expression ability was limited, and his words were intermittent and very reluctantly.

"Sacrifice!!!" Tang Qingxue opened her eyes in amazement.

"Yes, look, our room is built on the snake's eye. I guess the owner of the castle should be a senior priest. It's false to move here. In fact, it should be for sneaky sacrifice. After all, it's illegal to kill in broad daylight. If you build a house and kill quietly, you'll be fine. "

Mike shrugged his shoulders. Tang Qingxue suddenly felt her back cool. She leaned against the wall and couldn't speak for a long time. Yes, Qianhu island is indeed the snake eye on the mural. Before, I dug a lot of bones under that big tree. At that time, I didn't count the specific number of people, because some bones were missing and many parts were missing. After all, for so many years. But the skull she remembered seemed to be exactly nine... These people were really terrible, even the children.

If all this is true, it can reasonably explain why she was knocked unconscious when she got the book, because the man didn't want her to know the secret hidden in the castle.

"What if you don't sacrifice?"

"Er... It is said that people who are seen by snake eyes will bear a terrible curse, that is, they will sink into hell in various cruel ways. Offering sacrifices to nine dead people can save countless people... "

Tang Qingxue took a deep breath, "since this is the case here, there must be an entrance to the sacrifice room nearby. If the mural is true, Li Bin may have been killed. "

"Oh, here, Mike, little grandma, there is a stairway..."

The bodyguards who huddled at the end of the corridor did not dare to follow in. They lingered for a while and suddenly shouted.

Tang Qingxue hears the speech and hurriedly pulls Mike back.

There was a carpet in the dark room. At this time, the carpet was lifted, a wooden door was pulled up on the ground, and a dark rotating staircase led into the darkness.
