Chapter 144 Old House
In fact, where is the official seal about activating the formation hidden?
The answer to this question appeared in Xu Ke's mind in just a moment.
The most likely place is in the hands of Qin Yao, the head of the Qin family.
…………
Early the next morning.
Li Sian quietly 'inquired' where the Qin family's ancestral home was.
When he saw the ancestral house, he realized how difficult his mission was...
I thought that the second and third entrance courtyards he had seen before were already huge. Incomparably large courtyard.
Even if he is a magistrate, he will definitely not lose his face if he lives in the big courtyard of Sanjin.
But compared with the Qin family's ancestral house, the so-called Sanjin Courtyard is almost the same as the dilapidated house in the village.
Li Sian climbed over seven or eight walls in a row, but could not see the so-called main hall.
Try to go to the roof and look outside. Various brightly colored roofs are as densely packed as crop fields.
No wonder someone once told a joke in the book.
It is said that the people in the village who had never seen the world thought that the Yuanwai's house was the palace and the main hall where they worshiped Buddha was the Golden Palace after entering the city.
Li Sian went around and around, and it didn't take long before he fainted inside.
This large courtyard is surrounded by small courtyards, and there are all kinds of paths and doors. After a while, Li Sian couldn't even tell the difference between east, west, and north.
I secretly arrested several people to inquire about the owner’s residence.
As a result, I walked along the direction, turning every few steps, and after turning seven or eight turns in a row, I couldn't find north.
Just when Li Sian was about to arrest another person and continue to show him the way.
But suddenly he felt footsteps coming from behind.
When you subconsciously want to summon the monster in your imagination and capture it alive.
Unexpectedly, the footsteps suddenly accelerated. Before Li Sian could turn around, he slapped Li Sian on the shoulder.
“It’s you indeed.”
Li Sian was startled when he heard the familiar voice.
Quickly let yourself summon the monsters lurking in the dark to stop attacking.
It turns out that the person behind him is Su Hui, who has mysteriously disappeared for a long time.
Su Hui didn't know that he slapped Li Sian on the shoulder recklessly, almost making him wander around the gate of hell.
If Li Si'an had reacted half a beat slower, the evil creature summoned by him would have pulled out Su Hui's heart directly from behind.
“Why are you here?”
Li Sian thought about seeing Su Hui in any situation.
But I didn’t expect that I would see Su Hui in this maze-like ancestral home of the Qin family.
And Su Hui smiled and said:
"I knew you would find out here as soon as I guessed it."
"I saw you deliberately pretending to be at the sacrifice site before. If I die, I know you will sneak out to investigate the Qin family’s affairs.”
But Su Hui still didn't answer Li Sian's question. Why was she in the Qin family's house?
"Shh, I'm telling you quietly, don't tell your brother when you go back."
It turns out that when Su Hui entered Huangning County, he changed his mind decisively after sensing something was wrong. He returned to his snake body and hid in a nearby tree before fainting.
When she woke up, she found that Li Sian and others had been taken away.
So Su Hui sneaked into Huangning County secretly and investigated the information inside.
Although I don't know as much detail as Li Sian, I can probably guess that the key to this place lies in the Qin family who dominates it.
So she ate it quietly... replaced the young lady of the Qin family, and then used the demon's unique skin painting method.
Using the face of the young lady of the Qin family, Li Daitao was stunned and infiltrated into the Qin family.
After a day of familiarity, I have a preliminary understanding of the situation of this house.
In addition, how many direct descendants of the Qin family are there today? Who has a good relationship with whom, and where is the real core.
And with this human skin, Su Hui is confident that he can come and go freely in most places in the Qin family without anyone being suspicious.
“Although I am a young lady in disguise, I am afraid that if I knew about Brother Qi’s sensitive character, I would have to think more about it.”
After finishing speaking, Su Hui took out the product again. A folded human skin.
"You go outside and stand guard for me. When I found you just now, I was afraid that you would misunderstand, so I took off this human skin."
"Now I want to put it on again, It’s very troublesome.”
Naturally, Li Si'an had no interest in peeking at his sister-in-law 'changing clothes'.
So he came to the corner obediently, wiped it on his face, and transformed his appearance into the Qin family servant he had just met.
My body felt blurry, and my clothes accordingly changed into the coarse cloth clothes worn by the Qin family's servants.
Standing at the corner for less than half a cup of tea, I saw a middle-aged man coming across from me.
Judging from his appearance, he should be a ‘senior servant’ with considerable qualifications.
Although he was groveling in front of the Qin family, he was naturally bossy to the young servant Li Sian had changed.
No wonder most of the servants with foreign surnames are so protective of their masters. Even if they are ravaged and humiliated in various ways, they do not have any desire to resist.
Under this abnormal level, these domesticated slaves have long lost their normal thinking and become their veritable slaves.
“Hey! What are you doing? You know how to be lazy if you are sneaky!”
“Is the kitchen full of water?”
Li Si'an responded casually, but because he was not familiar with the details of this big house, he made many mistakes, which soon aroused the other party's suspicion.
Just when Li Sian sighed and was about to silence the other party as well. But I heard a strange female voice:
"Oh, you are so powerful... I can't even ask this slave to help me with anything?"
I saw a good-looking woman walking out from the other side. Although there was a smile on her face, there was a coldness and hostility between her eyebrows.
"Young madam, it was you who ordered this boy to do things."
"I offended the young madam by being too talkative and ignorant."
The middle-aged servant whipped a few The slap made the young lady look annoyed and waved her hand to tell him to get out of here quickly.
Seeing that man was so frightened that he kept silent and left in a hurry.
The young lady's temperament returned to its original appearance.
"Sister-in-law, when did you learn this skill? Why is it so lifelike? I can't even tell it's your voice."
Su Hui said with a smile in his original voice:
" This is a basic skill for monsters. If you don't master this skill when you are weak, you will never be able to sneak into the gathering place of the human race."
After looking up and down, Li Sian couldn't help but admire Su Hui's skill. The skill of 'painted skin' is really excellent in disguise.
I clearly knew in advance that the other party was the woman Su Hui was pretending to be.
But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see any flaws.
Even before Su Hui spoke in his original voice, Li Sian was not sure that the person in front of him was his sister-in-law.
There is a huge difference between this and deceiving others by relying on imaginary appearances.
The illusion that I can maintain can only last for half a quarter of an hour, and the details of the flaws are also extremely obvious.
If you really distinguish carefully, you can easily find a bunch of violations.
Li Si'an then shared with Su Hui the purpose of his visit, especially the information about the so-called 'official seal'.
I would like to ask Su Hui, who sneaked into the Qin family's ancestral home in advance, if he has any corresponding clues.
Su Hui recalled what he saw and heard during this period, and nodded vigorously:
"The rest of this house is ordinary, at most a little luxurious, unlike There is some secret.”
“I also sneaked into the Qin family’s house in the shape of a snake before, but I didn’t find anything precious, not even a hidden compartment.”
Su Hui thought about it for a long time and finally thought of the only suspicious thing about the Qin family.
“There is an old house at the core, which has always been a forbidden area for the entire Qin family. No one is allowed to set foot in it.”
“And it is said that that old house was the beginning of the Qin family. The ancestral residence, and the Qin family residences we see now, are gradually expanding around the core ancestral residence."
Li Sian was overjoyed when he heard this.
For something as important as the official seal, the head of the Qin family would not always carry it close to his body, or put it carelessly on the surface.
After Su Hui's elimination, the last possibility was the Qin family's ancestral home.
"Okay, let's go check out the Qin family's ancestral home."
With Su Hui's familiar guide, Li Sian no longer has to worry about getting lost in the Qin family's home.
In a short time, he passed through several yards and arrived at the increasingly remote and desolate old house.
“This is the real core of the Qin family you said?”
Li Sian thought about the situation here dozens of times before coming here.
No matter it is heavily guarded, it is airtight.
It is still simple, grand and luxurious, but it will not surprise Li Sian so much.
But now it seems that this so-called ancestral home is just a dilapidated house with air leakage from all sides.
Although it is a forbidden area in name, there are no guards around.
Li Sian even wondered whether he had come to the wrong place or guessed the wrong clue.
This shabby room is only as big as a few tables.
Standing outside the house and glancing through the broken windows, you can see everything in the house at a glance.
It was dusty and messy, and there were a lot of spider webs in the corners.
Obviously no one has entered for a long time, which is why it looks so dilapidated.
Even Su Hui couldn't help but lose confidence, suspecting that there was something wrong with the information he was investigating.
According to the luxurious appearance of the Qin Mansion, how could the ancestral home, which is the core of the family, be so poor?
Even a woodshed used to house slaves is ten times better than this shabby house that has never been taken care of and has been abandoned for at least decades.
"How about we go and inquire more, or go to the head of the Qin family's house to search carefully?"
Li Sian sighed, feeling that this was the only thing he could do.
But since they all came to this old house, naturally they couldn't come in vain.
"Let's go in and take a look. Maybe what we are looking for is hidden in the corner."
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.
Out of caution, Li Sian came back to this old house with Su.
Push the shaky and dilapidated wooden house away and step into it.
A dizzy feeling suddenly hit him, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed...
Before losing consciousness, Li Sian finally understood where this familiar feeling came from.
"This... is a strange situation!"
