Chapter 51 Zhao Family Forbidden Land
"What do you understand?" Chen Xiu asked.
"I know why that giant hand caught my father's coffin!" Zhao Shouren shook his head and stamped his feet, looking quite excited.
At the funeral, the giant hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the coffin and the short messenger into the ground. Chen Xiu was also puzzled.
"You should talk quickly!" Feng Guiyun said anxiously.
She is not an impatient person, but what she has experienced since entering the castle is so strange that it is also related to the cause of her junior sister's death, and it is abnormal at this time.
"My family has a rule passed down from generation to generation. When every head of the family dies, he goes to the forbidden area to die. My father died on the woman's belly and does not wait for death in the forbidden area. Therefore, he annoyed Senior Han's ghost. It turns out that my father was retribution from the ghost." Zhao Shouren said.
"What forbidden area?" Chen Xiu asked.
"That forbidden land is the place where Senior Han buried his bones. After Senior Han sat in the process of transformation, my ancestors were grateful for Senior Han's kindness and set the rules of the family. Every head of the family must enter the place where Senior Han buried his bones before his death, and buried it with Senior Han. In this way, the soul can continue to serve Senior Han after his death."
"I think the family has served Senior Han for thirty-six generations, which is enough. I want to choose another auspicious place to bury my father, but I don't know..." Zhao Shouren looked regretful.
"You are simply whimsical. According to what you said, Senior Han has been dead for thousands of years. How could his soul remain until now?" Feng Guiyun sneered.
"Where is that forbidden area? Let's go and take a look." Chen Xiudao.
"Only the head of the family can go to the forbidden area before his death, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering. My family's rules in history have been like this." Zhao Shouren hesitated.
"What else is there in the forbidden area except the bones of Senior Han and the heads of the Zhao family?" Chen Xiu asked.
"There's nothing else." Zhao Shouren said.
"There is no treasure, what are you afraid of? And it makes sense that Senior Han's ghost is causing trouble. That giant hand is probably related to Senior Han."
Chen Xiu felt instinctively that all the strange things he had experienced might be able to find an answer in the forbidden area.
"Maybe... the five-color jade is in the forbidden area." Feng Guiyun said.
"It is also possible that the five-color jade can cause monsters to evolve. A pile of dead bones in the forbidden area is the place where monsters like it." Chen Xiudao.
Zhao Shouren was also convinced by the two of them, and it would be impossible not to be convinced. Feng Guiyun's thunder sword was still attached to him.
At that moment, Zhao Shouren led the way ahead. The three of them circled a few times. When they reached the edge of the maze, they ran into a group of people again.
But it was Taoist Sang, the master and servant of Meng Tianyi and Luo Changsheng.
It turned out that they fled outside the maze. Seeing that the buildings here were strange, they did not dare to enter, but they did not dare to return the same way, so they circled outside to find a way.
When Luo Changsheng saw Chen Xiu, he happily held his hand, which made Chen Xiu feel a little embarrassed.
After everyone gathered, Zhao Shouren also told others about the history of Senior Han and the Zhao family, as well as the forbidden area.
Although it was the forbidden area of the Zhao family, there were no treasures except the bones of dead people. It might also be the source of the giant hand, and it might even contain five-color jade.
Whether it is to use the power of everyone to solve the giant hand or to make the five-color jade, Zhao Shouren has no reason to resist.
Zhao Shouren led everyone to a corner of the maze, stood next to a huge rock, and tapped it three times.
A moment later, the huge rock cracked a black hole about a foot wide, which made everyone amazed.
"Senior brother, I have been in the Zhao family for many years, but I didn't know there was such a place!" Meng Tianyi said with a little resentment.
"Junior brother, every family has secrets. Even my second uncle doesn't know about this place, and it is only passed on to the legitimate son." Zhao Shouren said.
"Let's go in."
Zhao Shouren shrank and walked in first, and everyone then entered.
Chen Xiu followed into the cave, and there was an oblique stone staircase leading to the depths below.
The passage inside was quite neatly built, and the rock walls on the head were inlaid with some gem fragments, emitting a soft silver light, and I don’t know what it was.
When you reach the end of the passage, there is another stone gate.
This stone gate is not mysterious and ordinary, so Zhao Shouren opened it with a slight push.
When you enter the stone gate, you will see a stone entrance.
Bypassing the entrance hall, there is a small living room with gems on the top for lighting.
There are several stone rooms on the left and right of the living room.
Everyone knew that this was the place where the ancestors of the Zhao family buried their bones, and they didn't dare to walk around randomly. They looked around curiously.
Chen Xiu was curious about seeing this. This was the legendary powerful cave, but it looked ordinary.
Chen Xiu turned his mind, but his mind was greatly hindered here, as if he was isolated by something invisible, which made him a little strange.
"What does it mean when it is written here?" Luo Changsheng pointed to a stone chamber on the left, and the word "Insect Tomb" was engraved on the top of the door.
"This is the place where Senior Han burys his pets." Zhao Shouren said.
"Someone?" Taoist Sang was suddenly shocked.
Following the sight of Taoist Sang, everyone saw a stone chamber with a door open, with a faint look of people inside.
"It's okay, this should be where my ancestors buried their bones."
Zhao Shouren was a filial son. When he thought of his ancestors inside, he hurriedly rushed in.
Everyone followed in with caution.
Chen Xiu entered the room and found that the stone room was smaller than the living room outside. Looking around, there were dozens of skeletons inside, either sitting or lying down, with different expressions. Some scattered on the ground, and some maintained a good human form.
These bones are the heads of the Zhao family. Before they died, they walked into this room by themselves and waited quietly for death to come.
There is nothing unusual except bones.
"Blessed by our ancestors..." Zhao Shouren kept clasping his hands, muttering words.
"ah--!"
At this moment, Zhao Shouren suddenly screamed in shock.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Meng Tianyi hurriedly supported him.
"You... look..." Zhao Shouren pointed to one of the bones and stammered and couldn't speak.
Meng Tianyi looked at the bones carefully. The tattered funeral clothes on it were a little familiar. He suddenly felt shocked and murmured: "Is it my uncle?"
"That's right, it's my father!" Zhao Shouren said.
Everyone was shocked, and they didn't expect that Old Master Zhao's skeleton was also among them.
So, who brought Mr. Zhao's body here?
Could it be that giant hand? But why did it do this?
"I knew it was Senior Han's ghost that appeared. My father came here to die without following the rules, and was dragged by Senior Han!" Zhao Shouren stroked his chest and murmured to himself.
Feng Guiyun shook her head slightly when she heard this. She didn't believe in any ghost's statement.
"Junior brother, it's too early to decide now. Let's go to another room first." Meng Tianyi frowned.
Everyone walked out of the burial room and looked at the remaining rooms.
