Chapter 185: The Sarcophagus Skull

The Xin family ancestral hall was locked, but such a lock was nothing to the old Ming Dynasty agent. He only used two thin wires and opened the lock in three seconds.

Yin Molan pushed open the door, and Ning Tao followed him in.

There was no light in the ancestral hall, it was dark, and it was dark after Yin Molan closed the door. Ning Tao took out his mobile phone, woke up the screen, and then the faint light released by the screen came to the shrine.

The blank plate was gone.

Ning Tao then used his mobile phone to take pictures of other spirit cards, but he still didn't find the one without a name. His brows frowned, "I was here last time, why did it disappear?"

"That woman knows you will come again." Yin Molan made a judgment.

Ning Tao lost his mind. Could it be that only by agreeing to Zhu Hongqin's conditions can he see the prescription of Xunzu Pill? If it was just Bai Sheng, he would agree without hesitation, but Bai Jing was caught in the middle, which gave him a headache.

"Wait!" Yin Molan said, his miraculousness also seemed a little strange.

Ning Tao's heart moved, and he said tentatively: "Senior Yin, did you find anything?"

Yin Molan walked around the ancestral hall, from the wall on the left to the wall on the right, and from under the wall on the right to the wall opposite the shrine, and then said: "This ancestral hall..."

"Is there something wrong with this ancestral hall?" Ning Tao was a little anxious.

Yin Molan looked up at the roof again, seemed to be sure of something, and then said: "This is the study of the third prince Zhu! I have been there several times, and I have an impression. Have you seen that beam?" He pointed to the room above his head. Liang, "If I remember correctly, there are definitely two characters sun and moon engraved on it, which together form a Ming character. These are used by the third prince Zhu to motivate himself not to forget the previous Ming."

Ning Tao jumped up, his body rose from the ground, he stepped on the void with his right foot, and stepped on the void with his left foot, and he jumped onto the beam of the house. He grabbed the top of the beam with one hand, fixed it, and then leaned over and blew on the beam. A piece of dust was blown away, and the word "sun and moon" was indeed engraved on the old beam. There was a little space between the two characters, but together they formed a character "Ming".

"Senior Yin, what you said is true. It really has the word sun and moon on it." Ning Tao let go of his hand, and his body fell naturally. Before touching the ground, his legs bent and he stood firmly on the ground.

There is a ladder under his feet, and he is becoming more and more proficient in this cultivation skill. If there is no roof above his head, he can still take a step in the air, and then jump up to a height of about two meters.

There was a strange light in Yin Molan's eyes,

"Brother Ning, your kung fu is interesting, what is it called?"

Ning Tao said: "There is a ladder under your feet, but senior Yin, now is not the time to talk about kung fu, you haven't told me, what did you find?"

Yin Molan said: "This study was relocated and rebuilt one by one. If you say that Zhu Hongqin is really related to Miss Hongyu, she may copy and rebuild the organ and the secret room together."

Ning Tao suddenly became excited, "Where is the secret room of the agency?"

Yin Molan walked to the wall behind the shrine, counted the bricks from the corner up to "8", and then counted from the left to "8", it would be best for him to put his hand on a wall brick and push it in.

Kaka...

The sound of mechanism movement came from the ground, and the ground trembled slightly. In a blink of an eye, a tunnel entrance appeared on the ground beside Yin Molan.

Ning Tao followed and moved over. He was no longer satisfied with the faint light of the phone screen, so he simply activated the flashlight of the phone and threw the light beam into the tunnel.

The tunnel extends down at a forty-five-degree angle, and a few meters deep is a corner. The passage that can be seen is drilled with gray clay, and the top of the passage is arched. Every stone brick is full of traces of erosion over the years, at least hundreds of years old.

"Come with me." Yin Molan cat waisted into the tunnel.

Ning Tao followed him into the tunnel, feeling a little curious, "Senior Yin, I saw you counting bricks, you counted 8 vertically and 8 horizontally, is there any meaning in this?"

Yin Molan clasped her fists together, her voice was full of respect, "That's the name of Emperor Taizu."

Ning Tao suddenly realized that the Taizu emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Zhu Yuanzhang, and his nickname was Zhu Chongba. Yin Molan just counted 8 vertically and 8 horizontally, isn't it "heavy eight"?

The two of them passed the corner and walked sideways for dozens of meters before reaching the end of the tunnel.

A stone gate blocked the way, and a pair of small stone lions were placed at the gate. Yin Molan went straight to the stone lion on the left, reached out and grabbed the stone ball in the stone lion's mouth, and twisted it.

Ka Ka Ka...

In a series of noises, the stone door opened.

Ning Tao was about to go in, but Yin Molan grabbed him, "Don't move!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Dozens of crossbow arrows flew out from the stone gate, brushing Ning Tao and Yin Molan's bodies and flying towards the tunnel where they came. Then there was a sound of crossbow arrows hitting clay bricks in the dark tunnel.

Ning Tao broke out in a cold sweat. Just now, several crossbow arrows almost flew past his face. If Yin Molan hadn't held him back and made him stand by the door frame, he would have been shot. His casual attack can block blunt blows, but the penetrating damage of crossbow bolts cannot be prevented. Even if he is healed with special spiritual power, his life will be in danger if he hits a vital point.

"Okay, come with me." Yin Molan stepped out and entered the stone room behind the stone gate.

Ning Tao also followed into the stone room. He held up his mobile phone and observed the stone room by the light of the phone's flashlight.

To be precise, it is a tomb with a vaulted roof and a sarcophagus in the middle.

A stone platform was placed in front of the sarcophagus, and on it was a spiritual tablet, which said the tomb of "the benefactor Zhu Hongyu".

After seeing the spirit card, Ning Tao shifted his gaze to the sarcophagus, feeling excited, because it was hidden so secretively, most of the sarcophagus contained the skull of Zhu Hongyu!

Yin Molan bowed three times to Zhu Hongyu's spirit tablet.

Ning Tao also bowed three times, and the dead are the most important.

After paying homage, Yin Molan walked to the sarcophagus and pushed it with force, but the sarcophagus remained motionless.

Clang!

Yin Molan pulled out the Xiuchun Knife, hacked into the gap under the lid of the sarcophagus that was filled with concrete, and then dragged the knife to cut along the gap. The Xiuchun Knife is a magic weapon of Wu Yao, it cuts iron like mud, and although the three-component clay in the cracks of the sarcophagus is hard, it is equivalent to tofu under his Xiuchun Knife.

boom!

The lid of the sarcophagus was pushed away by Yin Molan.

Ning Tao couldn't wait to join in.

There was no corpse in the sarcophagus, only a fragment of a skull, white with yellowish color, irregular shape, very similar to the skull fragment he saw in Yin Molan's cave last time.

Sure enough, the Xin family has Zhu Hongyu's skull fragments hidden!

Ning Tao stretched out his hand to the fragment of the skull, his hand trembling because of being too excited.

But before he could grab the skull fragment, Yin Molan grabbed the skull fragment in the sarcophagus first.

There was nothing special about the front of the skull, no different from ordinary skull fragments, but after Yin Molan turned it over, it was extraordinary. On the back of it was written a lot of cyan characters, all of which were the names and weights of spiritual materials.

Ning Tao's eyes fell on the blue handwriting, and he was engrossed in memorizing the contents above.

A minute later, Yin Molan suddenly handed the skull fragments in Ning Tao's hands, "Take it, old rules, I'll find you spiritual materials, and you refine the Ancestor Pill for me. The effect of the Ancestor Pill you refined last time Very good, my demon power has greatly increased, you should keep this thing, in the future we will find all the skull fragments, you and I will copy a copy of the pill recipe, and just bury Miss Hongyu's skull."

Ning Tao didn't refuse, so he opened the small medicine box and put the skull fragments in, "Alright, then I'll keep it for a while, and I'll bury it in the future when I gather all the fragments."

Yin Molan closed the coffin lid again, bowed three times to such a spiritual card, and murmured: "Miss Hongyu, Yin has no choice but to offend her. In the future, Yin will definitely bury the girl's body generously and find out the real culprit. To avenge the girl, to sue the spirit in heaven."

Ning Tao also bowed to Zhu Hongyu's spirit tablet three times, but he didn't say anything.

People may really have spirits in the sky and spirits on earth, but who has seen them?

The two returned the same way, left the tunnel, and returned to the Xin Family Ancestral Hall. Yin Molan pressed the "heavy eight" drill again, and the tunnel entrance was closed.

"Let's get out of here." Ning Tao said.

Yin Molan nodded, and after walking out of the ancestral hall, he closed the door and locked the lock.

The two left Ronghua Mansion and returned to the place where the car was kept.

Qing chased him up, "Brother Ning, how are you doing?"

Ning Tao said happily: "I got it, let's go."

Yin Molan said: "I'm looking for spiritual materials, but I'm not sure I can find them all. It's still the old rule. I can find as much as I can. If you can't find it, you come to it."

Ning Tao smiled, "Okay, I'll start alchemy when I gather all the spiritual materials, and I'll give you the first one."

Yin Molan gave Ning Tao a fist, and stepped onto his motorcycle, but he seemed to remember something, and said again, "Brother Ning, come here, I'll whisper to you."

Ning Tao said, "Is there anything you can't say in front of Qing Zhui?"

Qing Zhui looked unhappy, "That's right, is there anything I can't listen to?"

Yin Molan hesitated for a moment, "Okay, then I'll just say it straight, brother Ning, you must exercise restraint on Young Miss Qing, at most once a month, even if it is more than once, it will hurt your body and shorten your life."

Ning Tao was suddenly embarrassed. He thought what Yin Molan was going to say in a whisper, but he didn't expect it to be such a thing.

Qing Zhui blushed a little, and she didn't blame Yin Molan for rebutting.

"That's it, whether you like it or not, I'm leaving." Yin Molan lit the fire and left on the motorcycle.

Ning Tao also stepped onto the Tiandao locomotive, and Qing Zhui also climbed into the car without his greeting, hugging his waist tightly.

It's just a motorcycle ride, she insists on riding a motorcycle, so what?

"Brother Ning, don't listen to her. I won't harm you. I'm serving you. You won't get hurt as many times as you want." As soon as he was on the road, Qing Zhui leaned into Ning Tao's ear and said these words .

Ning Tao's body froze, and the Tiandao tram almost hit a tree...

at the same time.

In the Ronghua mansion, two women came slowly to the gate of the Xin family's ancestral hall.

These two women, one is Zhu Hongqin, and the other is Qigu, her grandmother's bodyguard.

Qigu looked in the direction of the back wall, "Miss, Jie and the two took the things away."

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Hongqin's mouth, but she didn't say anything...
