“Black Lightning talisman.” Xu Ke’s expression tensed up as he said, ” that place should be the family head’s study room. Senior brother Tang and the others should have arrived by now. &Quot; He had used the black Thunder talisman as soon as he entered? Senior brother Zhang, should we go and take a look?”

&Quot; no need. &Quot; Zhang Shuo pondered for a moment and shook his head. &Quot; let’s continue to the Han ancestral hall. &Quot;

&Quot; to be able to force Tang Nanzhai to use the black Thunder talisman, the master’s study room must be very dangerous. &Quot;

&Quot; if he Yi was in such a situation back then, he wouldn’t have been able to escape back to the sect. &Quot;

&Quot; so, we can basically be sure that the treasure vault is not there. &Quot;

Xu Ke was a little worried. &Quot; senior brother Zhang, is it possible that the enemy wasn’t there at the time? could he Yi have sneaked in? ”

“Junior Brother Xu, don’t be impatient,” Zhang Shuo said calmly, ” although we agreed to share the foundation building elixir recipe and experience, the red whisker vine will rely on its own means. However, the person who found the red whisker vine did not mean that he could take it out of the villa. So it’s not necessarily a good thing to get it in your hands early, understand?”

“…Yes.” Xu Ke was stunned and immediately became stern. &Quot; you’re right, senior brother Zhang. &Quot;

The crowd quickly put away the resentful woman and walked to the end of the alley.

In front of him was an exquisite courtyard, and a wisteria almost completely blocked out the sunlight.

Under the flower rack, there was a water tank that was exactly the same as the one in the alley.

However, it was not the resentful woman in the water tank, but a few bright red fish. No one had taken care of them for such a long time, but they were still alive.

When it sensed someone approaching, it immediately floated to the surface of the water, shaking its head and wagging its tail, as if begging for food.

When Li Xiaqing saw this, he took out a piece of dry food from his storage bag, broke it and threw it in.

However, the fish had no interest in the dried food. One of them was particularly agile. It suddenly jumped out of the water and bit her wrist!

“Pa da.”

Li Xiaqing frowned and grabbed the fish. She crushed it into minced meat and threw it back into the water tank. The other fish immediately swarmed up and fought for the meat of their own kind.

She wiped her fingers and said unhappily,”what’s going on with this villa?” The spirit carps are gentle by nature and have been living a vegetarian life for many years. Why are the ones here so fierce?”

“It’s just beside the path filled with resentful women.” &Quot; No. &Quot; Zhao Changan said, ” the air of resentment has eroded over the years. It would be strange if it wasn’t fierce, right? ”

Other than the wisteria flower rack and the spirit carp that had a huge change in temperament, there was nothing else in the courtyard.

A long stone was embedded in the thick moss, winding its way to a Moon Cave door.

Behind the door was the back mountain. There was a well-maintained mountain path hidden among the green trees and fragrant grass.

The back mountain wasn’t high, but the Han family’s Mountain Villa was built to appreciate the manor’s beautiful scenery as much as possible, so the mountain road was extremely winding.

The grass and trees along the way were rustling. Occasionally, one could peek through the gaps between the branches and leaves to see the Lotus pond and Willow Bank below.

The mountain breeze blew past, and the Lotus leaves in the pond rustled, creating ethereal waves. The bright lotus flowers were scattered among them, and it was a beautiful sight.

To everyone’s surprise, there was nothing unusual until they stood in front of the Han family’s ancestral hall on the top of the mountain.

&Quot; something’s not right … &Quot; Zhang Shuo frowned slightly as he looked at the ancestral hall that was as exquisite as a gatehouse but could not hide the traces of time. He did not enter immediately, but muttered, ” I have a bad feeling … Everyone, be careful! &Quot;

After a while, he instructed Xu Ke, ” “Open the door.”

Xu Ke nodded, and two palm-sized wooden puppets immediately rolled out from his sleeves. They quickly grew as soon as they landed on the ground. In just two breaths, they were like three or four-year-old children, kicking and kicking like real people. They were very lively.

She ran noisily to the Han’s ancestral hall and shouted the work in her childish voice to push the door open.

They didn’t seem to have much strength, but the tightly shut door of the ancestral hall collapsed after a moment.

The two puppets giggled as they stepped through the door with happy steps and skipped in.

Everyone stood at the door and looked around. There was a small courtyard inside, a Stone Road leading to the reflective wall, and some flowers and plants were planted on both sides.

Perhaps it was because no one had taken care of it for a long time, the flowers and plants grew wildly, squeezing the road until only a narrow gap was left.

As the puppets walked, countless branches and leaves hit them, making rustling sounds.

Empress … There was no Empress. The two puppets fell down without warning and returned to the palm-sized dead objects.

“My spiritual energy has been sucked dry.” Xu Ke frowned. &Quot; the spirit swallowing grass is planted on both sides. &Quot;

“Let’s just do it.” Zhang Shuo took out a black spear from his storage bag and said, ” follow me! &Quot;

Then, like a snake, the long spear swept toward the spirit swallowing grass in the courtyard.

Other than the spirit swallowing grass, there seemed to be nothing else in the front yard of the ancestral hall. Zhang Shuo casually removed it with a few moves, and even the stone slab was mostly broken.

After going around the reflective wall, they saw a spacious courtyard. There was a fish pond next to the reflective wall. It was like the water tank at the foot of the mountain, with many spirit carps.

However, the spirit carps here had died a long time ago. They were floating on the water, and their corpses gave off a strange smell.

In each of the four corners of the courtyard, there was a large and luxuriant tree, and on each tree hung a red ribbon that seemed to be used for blessing.

In front of them was the main hall of the ancestral hall.

The door of the main hall was ajar, and a faint smell of incense could be smelled from inside.

Xu Ke did not wait for Zhang Shuo to speak. He took the initiative to take out the puppets from earlier and commanded them to Scout the way forward.

The puppet pushed open the door and saw an extremely spacious hall. There was a shrine in the innermost part, and it was blocked by a bead curtain, so the appearance of the statue was not clear.

Outside the bead curtain, the memorial tablets of the Han family’s past generations were densely placed.

The surroundings were brightly lit and spotless, as if someone had been cleaning and maintaining the place.

Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions became serious.

“Let’s go and see what’s inside the shrine,” said Zhang Shuo.

Xu Ke nodded slightly, and with a thought, the puppet immediately ran behind the bead curtain.

However, before they could get close, the two puppet children lost their vitality and returned to their original forms, falling to the ground.

“It should be a formation to expel spiritual energy.” Xu Ke said, ” to put an end to similar prying methods. &Quot;

“If that’s the case, let’s go in directly,” Zhang Shuo said.

As he spoke, the spear flew out and pierced through an unopened fan. It crashed into the main hall and stabbed into the ground diagonally, sending sparks flying.

There was no movement in the hall.

Seeing this, Zhang Shuo waved his hand and the spear flew back into his hand. He then strode into the room.

The others also pulled out their weapons and followed with wary expressions.

Although the hall was spacious, it was clear at a glance. The only thing that could be hidden was the shrine.

Everyone knocked on the brick wall and turned their eyes to the bead curtain.

“Junior Sister Lu, let the Golden-winged Scarlet striped centipede take a look,” Zhang Shuo said slowly.

Lu lü Qiang nodded,”alright.”

As he spoke, he patted an embroidered storage pouch hanging from his waist, and a centipede with four brilliant wings flew out.
