Qu Yu walked to the side of the portrait and turned the portrait in one direction.
It is a bit difficult to turn the portrait, if you don't use a certain amount of strength, you really can't turn it.
As the painting was turned, a secret door was opened. No one expected that there would be a secret door in this room.
If it weren't for the little boy's guidance, neither Qu Yu nor Zuo Qing would have found this room.
The secret door was opened, and a long staircase appeared, with faint lights flickering on both sides of the staircase, which made it feel like you were filming a horror movie.
Qu Yu swallowed her saliva, feeling a little cold on her back, if it wasn't for Zuo Qing's company, she would have turned her head and ran away.
A pair of slender legs, trembling forward, she is now going into a dark room to see what's inside, she believes that the little boy must have his own purpose in leading her to this place.
And this room is probably where the things behind the scenes are hiding.
Qu Yu went down the stairs step by step, and walked for about a minute before reaching the end.
There is a wooden door under the stairs, and there is a light coming from the wooden door, which shows that there may be someone inside.
At this time, Qu Yu just wanted to run away, but Zuo Qing kept urging her to open the door and go in, no matter what was inside, she would get rid of it.
Out of trust in Zuo Qing, Qu Yu took a deep breath, looked forward to death, and then forcefully opened the door.
"Ga..." The wooden door made a harsh sound, and the door slowly opened.
As soon as the door opened, the first thing Qu Yu saw in the room was a woman in black. The woman was wearing a long black dress and her black hair was loose. She was beautiful and looked about thirty years old. Not very old.
Around the woman, there were some human hands and feet scattered, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air, but the woman didn't seem to be able to smell it.
In addition to these hands and feet, there are several bookshelves, and only a few books are placed on the bookshelves.
Under the orange light, everything in this room looks weird and scary.
"Huh? The previous heir didn't kill you yet?" The woman let out a surprise when she saw Qu Yu coming in.
"It's a bit of a skill to be able to find this place." Although the woman was a little surprised that Nie Wei could find this place, she didn't take it too seriously.
"Who the hell are you? Why are you hiding here? Why are you killing so many people?" Qu Yu said pretending to be calm.
It might have been better if her trembling legs had been ignored.
"You're mistaken, little girl. Only a few of these people died at my hands. Most of them died at the hands of their previous successors. I didn't do anything." The woman looked at Qu Yu with a smile on her face. With a somewhat bloodthirsty smile.
"If it wasn't because you locked them up in this place, and they could only leave for reincarnation by killing a person as a substitute, how could they kill you for you!" Qu Yu felt a strong surge in her heart when she heard her say that it had nothing to do with her. anger.
"I didn't force them to kill, it's all their own choice." The woman looked at Qu Yu indifferently.
"You..." Qu Yu was very angry, this woman is too shameless!
"Let's not talk about this, why do you want to lock up so many of us in this place, what are you doing all this for!"
"Why? You don't need to know this, anyway, you will soon be the next one. Since Zhang Xiaoting can't kill you, then I will do it."
After the woman finished speaking, she didn't give any further explanations. She just took out a crystal ball, which exuded a strange purple light, which looked very mysterious.
"Are you a human or a ghost!" Qu Yu asked in shock.
"Don't worry, I am human just like you, but you will soon become a ghost." The woman held a crystal ball in her hand, muttering.
Soon following the woman's movements, a purple light restrained Qu Yu.
Qu Yu found that he couldn't move, and he was a little panicked. At this time, the woman picked up a dagger from the table, and the dagger exuded a gloomy and cold light.
"Don't be afraid, it will be over soon." The woman laughed again, she walked up to Qu Yu with a dagger in her hand, and then handed the dagger in Qu Yu's hand.
"Now, use this dagger to kill yourself." After the woman handed the dagger to Qu Yu, she stood quietly in front of Qu Yu, her red lips slightly parted.
Following the woman's order, Qu Yu found that she had lost control over her body.
Zhang Xiaoting controlled her body, in fact, grabbed her hand and controlled her to commit suicide.
But this woman didn't touch her body at all, why? Why did it make her lose control of her body.
"Stop Zhou Xue!" At the critical moment, Zuo Qing flew out of the jade gourd.
"At first, I thought it was strange why Qu Yu, an ordinary girl, could handle Zhang Xiaoting. It turned out that she had helpers around her!" The woman was Zhou Ting, and when she saw Zuo Qing appearing, she had such an expression on her face.
"Zhou Xue, you have done so much for Zhang Baorong, isn't that enough?" Zuo Qing looked at Zhou Xue quietly.
"It seems that you have found a lot of things, and you have some skills." Zhou Xue was slightly surprised for a moment and then returned to normal.
"I found more than that. I know that you did this for Zhang Baorong." When he heard the truth from Nie Wei just now, Zuo Qing suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Shortly after you and Zhang Baorong got married, Zhang Baorong became terminally ill. His time is running out. With the current level of medical treatment, his illness cannot be cured at all.
In order to save Zhang Baorong, you thought of your own grandma, that grandma who you and your sister regard as terrifying..."
Zhou Tian and Zhou Xue were raised by their grandma since they were young, but they have never been close to their grandma. In the eyes of their sisters, grandma has always been a terrible existence.
Although grandma doesn't know how to beat and scold them, and cooks and washes for them, her face is always expressionless, and she still seems to have a faint smell of carrion on her body.
Grandma likes to wear black clothes, and often stands alone in the yard basking in the moon in the dark. Occasionally, when the sisters get together at night, they will find grandma standing in the yard showing the cold light.
Later, when grandma died, the two sisters were not only not sad, but relieved.
The legacy left by grandma, in addition to a house, there is also a small black wooden box with a few books in it.
Zhou Xue was originally not interested in these books, so the books were put away by her sister Zhou Tian.
Unlike Zhou Xue, Zhou Tian likes these books very much, and will read them when she has time. The more she reads, the more excited she becomes, as if she suddenly came into contact with the door of a new world.
After Zhou Tianyi got married, she always disliked her stepson. Finally, one day, when there was no one at home, she coaxed her stepson to eat a bun with poisonous meat, and Zhou Tian's son and daughter saw all this. (end of this chapter)
