There are some murals hanging on the walls here, which look very much like the nobles of the Middle Ages in Europe. It looks even more mysterious. Along the way, Jiang Cheng felt that this should be the most important place in this tomb.
Who are these people? They all look so noble. Ah Qi stood in front of a painting and exclaimed.
This should be a family." Uncle Wang said as he looked at the paintings on the wall.
Jiang Cheng saw that these people seemed to be from the same family, all with the surname Bronte, and the earliest recorded ancestor was named Jenny Bronte, a woman dressed very elegantly.
This family sounds so familiar to me, Uncle Wang said.
Jiang Cheng had never heard of it before. "Blanc, is this family very famous?" Jiang Cheng asked.
I haven't heard of it. "Ah Qi said puzzledly.
"Of course you haven't heard of it. The glory days of this family were a long time ago. It completely declined decades ago. You haven't heard of it since." Uncle Wang recalled.
"Is this family engaged in mineral reselling? They look very rich," Jiang Cheng said while looking at the paintings on the wall.
Yes, a hundred years ago was the most glorious time for their family. They dug up a lot of rare minerals at that time, and many people flocked to them. But later I heard that they were hunted down. The whole family was slaughtered. "Uncle Wang said.
"The whole family was massacred? Jiang Cheng sighed, how could it be so cruel? This family seemed so huge, how could this be possible
Yes, there were several hundred people in this family, including the main family heads and their families, and of course their servants, all of whom disappeared. There were two speculations at the time. The first was that they were hunted down by someone because those people wanted the ore, and the second was that they had amassed a lot of wealth, and in order to avoid those people's covetousness, they retired from the world. "Uncle Wang said.
But they obviously didn't retire, now they are here.
Jiang Cheng sighed. These people were very influential and talented, but they died in such an unclear way. It was really sad.
"Yes, it's because he is too rich and powerful that he attracts people's covetousness." Uncle Wang said.
Ah Qi didn't say anything. Jiang Cheng felt that he had become very silent since he came in here. At this moment, he was standing in front of a painting, staring at it motionlessly.
Jiang Cheng walked over to Ah Qi, "Ah Qi! Jiang Cheng felt that Ah Qi's mood was totally wrong. He seemed to be holding back something. He looked very depressed. His body was also shaking slightly.
Jiang Cheng touched Ah Qi's shoulder, "Ah Qi! What's wrong with you
Ah Qi finally reacted and looked at Jiang Cheng, "What's wrong? Brother Zai."
If Jiang Cheng saw correctly, the expression on Ah Qi's face just now was very sad.
Are you okay? Ah Qi, even if you are sad about these things, they are other people's business. Uncle Wang also felt that Ah Qi's expression was very wrong.
"Yeah. I know." Ah Qi looked at Uncle Wang and smiled, his eyes somewhat helpless, "and it's been many years.
Yes. You, kid. I didn't realize you're quite sentimental.
Uncle Wang smiled and said.
Let's go ahead and have a look, Uncle Wang said.
Jiang Cheng felt that this family must have some connection with the Baihua Stone. Perhaps it was because of the Baihua Stone that they were persecuted.
The road ahead will definitely be more dangerous. But who built this tomb? Since the entire Blante family was persecuted. So how did this tomb come about? Jiang Cheng couldn't figure it out. He felt that this family must have someone.
The three of them walked like this for a while, and Jiang Cheng saw a large table in front of them, with many urns on it. No, to be precise, they should be porcelain bottles, which should contain ashes or something like that, Jiang Cheng thought.
"Is this Zhao Dehao's ashes?" Uncle Wang walked to the table and said. I didn't expect that I could see this glorious family in my lifetime, but it turned out to be this way. It's really sad. Uncle Wang said.
Jiang Cheng found that these porcelain bottles were arranged very neatly. Placing them here one by one actually made people feel a sense of reverence for no reason.
The three of them tacitly did not move the porcelain bottles, but Jiang Cheng felt that these porcelain bottles must have been opened by someone. There were traces of these bottles being moved on the table.
"This place has been moved. It's really too much." Ah Qi said with a bit of resentment in his tone.
Yes, death is the greatest thing, why are you still like this? Uncle Wang said.
Jiang Cheng also noticed that these porcelain bottles had obviously been moved. He looked at them for a while and suddenly found a problem. "Ah Qi, Uncle Wang, when you came in just now, did you notice how many people were on the wall
"Nine." Ah Qi replied quickly, "Any questions? Brother Zai.
"Look, there are a few porcelain bottles here?" Jiang Cheng said.
Ah Qi counted, "One, two, three, eight! What's going on? Only eight?" Ah Qi said in shock.
Jiang Cheng nodded, "Yes, one is missing."
Was it taken away by someone? What can be done with the urn? Uncle Wang looked at Jiang Cheng and said.
Jiang Cheng felt that he seemed to be getting closer and closer to the truth, that is, closer and closer to the Baihua Stone.
At this moment, the locator in Jiang Cheng's hand suddenly lit up. Qiu Qingqing is here? Jiang Cheng has a big question in his mind, what is she doing here
Are there footsteps? Listen. "Uncle Wang said.
Jiang Cheng looked at the locator which was getting brighter and brighter, and knew that it must be Qiu Qingqing. "It's okay, it might be a friend of mine." Jiang Cheng just finished speaking when he saw Qiu Qingqing approaching.
She changed her clothes. Instead of the white dress she wore before, she wore a black tights that outlined Qiu Qingqing's beautiful figure, making her look younger and more energetic. However, she tied her hair up and wore a hat with dirt on it, which made her look a little embarrassed. But her appearance seemed to bring a beam of light into this dark secret room. You're here. Jiang Cheng asked casually. I wanted to come and see you and then find you. Jiang Cheng said.
Qiu Qingqing nodded, "It's okay. Isn't this just in time
Ah Qi and Uncle Wang who were standing by were shocked by the scene. They didn't know if it was because of Qiu Qingqing's looks or because of the conversation between Jiang Cheng and Qiu Qingqing in the dark.
Brother Zai, is this you, your girlfriend? Ah Qi asked slowly.
"No, we are friends." Jiang Cheng said. Qiu Qingqing was still the same as usual, not even looking at this side.
"Wow, Sister Fairy, my name is Ah Qi, you can call me Qiqi. What's your name? Ah Qi immediately surrounded Qiu Qingqing and said, with an obsessed look on his face.
Just when Jiang Cheng thought that Qiu Qingqing would not be able to answer, Qiu Qingqing spoke Qiu Qingqing.
"Sister Qingqing," Ah Qi said familiarly, still staring at Qiu Qingqing.
Uncle Wang and Jiang Cheng both laughed. He is still just a little child. Look at him, he was sad and angry just now, but now he can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman.
Uncle Wang said to Jiang Cheng.
"Where are you going now?" Qiu Qingqing asked. Let's keep going. There was a problem just now. Jiang Cheng said.
