Chapter 227 Zhang Family Ancient Building

In short, Wu Xie and Fatty went through untold hardships and finally saw the ancient building of the Zhang family.

The huge ancient building stood in front of them.In the darkness, the ancient building looked extremely old, and its colorless gray exterior was like a fossil, telling countless unspeakable secrets.

"Ancient Zhang Family Building..." Wu Xie almost uttered these words from the depths of his throat.

The fat man patted him, and he, like him, trembled all over.

They - finally arrived!

The whole building was dark, without any light source, presenting an ominous atmosphere.

Wu Xie never imagined that the Zhang family ancient building would be such a huge building.

where are they?

The urgency in Wu Xie's heart burst out at once: "Zhang Qiling! Mengli!"

There were bursts of echoes from the cave in the empty mine, and Wu Xie roared several times, the echoes almost filling the entire space.

Wait until the echo slowly disappears, and the whole space returns to the cold silence that makes people feel cold.

Wu Xie waited panting, waiting for a response from anywhere.

However, he waited a long, long time, and the silence was not broken.Anxiety began to roll in, and the nightmare that had always been in his heart.

What if they were really all dead?

The question that Wu Xie has been unwilling to consider has now rushed in front of him, and he can no longer escape.

There was no reply, and everything was terribly quiet, as if they were the first visitors in nearly a thousand years, and even the sleeping undead could not be awakened.

"Let's go." The fat man patted him on the shoulder, "You have to see with your own eyes whether you are dead or alive. Didn't your uncle say that?"

Wu Xie took a deep breath: "Go!"

The door of the Zhang family's ancient building was completely gray and white. Wu Xie touched it and found that it was full of dust.The door was very decayed, and the window paper on it was completely rotted, and it was dark inside.

Those square windows—a typical Qing Dynasty building—was written by Shisei Lei.

"Here." The fat man pointed to a window pane, where dust had been knocked off in several places.

The fat man went up and pushed, and the door was pushed open.

There was a harsh creak on the hinges, and dust kicked up everywhere.

The two immediately took a step back, covered their mouths, and waited for the dust to slowly fall.

After looking at each other, the fat man made a gesture of "please first".

Wu Xie tilted her head and said, "Didn't you take the lead in the past?"

The fat man said: "Isn't this a chance for you to show off. If you can't do it, then I will come."

"Okay, then I won't be polite." Wu Xie took a breath, and then walked towards the door.

It was pitch black inside, and Wu Xie scanned it with a flashlight, and saw a huge space.It is a huge floor, with four pillars standing in the middle of the hall.

There was nothing on this floor, he only saw a lot of equipment spread out in the middle of the room.

When they walked over, they found that it was indeed the little brother's equipment bag, which was covered with white dust.

The fat man looked at the beams above his head. It was completely in the architectural style of the Qing Dynasty, with countless patterns on the roof.Now, the whole building is pale white no matter from which angle it is viewed.

"Why is this place so big?" The fat man squatted down and shook a package, which was a food package.

The white ash on the bag was shaken up, Wu Xie suddenly felt uncomfortable, and immediately pulled the fat man back.

The fat man covered his mouth and looked at his hands, which were already red from the heat.

"The dust of strong alkali." He said, "The deformed buddy didn't lie to us. It seems that the little brother and the others encountered it once, otherwise the equipment would not be covered by such a thick powder."

"The things are here, but where are the people?" Wu Xie thought that they wouldn't all be melted away, even if they melted away, there would still be traces.

The atmosphere was a little weird, but I couldn't tell where the problem was.

The fat man asked Wu Xie to treat his wound first. There is strong alkali dust here. If it gets on the wound, it will be troublesome.

In the chaos just now, Wu Xie didn't notice that the place where the insect bite was no longer bleeding, but if it is not treated, it may fester.

After Wu Xie finished bandaging, he looked at the fat man's watch, and the fat man asked him if he wanted to find it separately.

Wu Xie pondered for a moment, then shook his head.Who knows what will happen in this building, two people will die together, it will be settled once and for all, not so much trouble.

The fat man turned on the flashlight, slowly shaking off the powder on the equipment bit by bit, and saw that a lot of equipment was opened.

He went up to check, and said: "The gas mask and flashlight are not there. They should have put down their equipment here, and then went to explore lightly."

There is a huge hole in the center of the ceiling of the Gulou hall, which should be formed by corrosion, and the shape of the edge of the hole is very irregular.

There are also many rotten pieces of wood on the ground, all of which have become cotton-like things, covered under a thick white powder.

They use flashlights to shine upwards, and they can see the ceiling on the upper floor, which is the same situation.

The first floor was clear at a glance, and they walked to the side.According to Feng Shui theory and Lei's consistent design habits, the best location for the stairs of an ancient building should be on the edge of the building, usually on the east side.

Of course, for such a large building, there should be stairs in all four directions, otherwise the running distance would be too long and troublesome.

But they searched carefully around the hall several times, but they didn't find the stairs going up.

The fat man muttered, "Could it be that the stairs are outside the ancient building? In the design of the ancient building, there is a kind of staircase specially used for viewing, winding up the ancient building."

Back in the building, the fat man looked for the rope in their luggage, but found that the rope was gone, and said, "Maybe there are no stairs in this place. They took the rope with them, maybe they used it to go upstairs."

"Then there must be a place where the rope can be used."

Just when he couldn't figure it out, Wu Xie suddenly remembered what Xie Yuchen had told him about the geomantic omen here by the lake.

The ancient building of the Zhang family is located in a place where the bones are sucked out. The so-called palaces of the dragon tower are all for the purpose of long-term peace, but the ancient building of the Zhang family is the opposite. It devours the energy of the dragon veins and destroys the momentum of the dragon veins.

The two continued to search, and soon focused their attention on several pillars.Several unicorns are carved on the pillars, their bodies look like dragons, and the heads of several unicorns are very prominent.

The most important and eye-catching thing is - this pillar, blood-red liquid seeped from the top, soaking one side of the pillar.

"Why is there blood here?" The fat man wiped his fingertips with blood, "It's not done yet, hey!"

Wu Xie looked up at the top of the pillar: "Do you think they will be on it?"

The eyes were full of worry, and the blood soaked one side of the column, and the person bled a lot, which exceeded the tolerance of the human body.Not yet dry - this was left a while back.

"Is there a mechanism?" The fat man kicked a few times, kicked off the relatively floating dust, and hid aside.When the dust calmed down, I wrapped my mouth and nose with clothes and climbed up.

Sure enough, it is here.

They stepped on the unicorn's head and quickly climbed to the top of the pillar.After pushing it, I found that the floor above did not move at all.

"It's stuck." Fatty said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a click, and the unicorn that he stepped on just now actually moved.Then a staircase descended from above.

Wu Xie and Fatty looked at each other, and immediately climbed up cautiously.

When the flashlight shone, their hearts shook.

On the second floor of the ancient building, there are countless shelves, hundreds of which can be seen at a glance, each of which is like the upper, middle and lower berths of a train, but with more layers.

What makes people very uncomfortable is that there are iron figurines lying on the shelves.

The bloodstains on the ground extended to the back tightly blocked by the iron figurines. The two looked at each other, picked up the thing, and walked over cautiously.

Yet behind that lay only a man, a dead man.

Wu Xie immediately recognized Mrs. Huo, because her features were very obvious.Mrs. Huo's expression was very peaceful, she seemed to have died naturally without suffering much, but in this very dangerous ancient building of the Zhang family, there was a trace of strangeness.
