The Beautiful CEO’s Magical Doctor and Crazy Son-in-law

No one could answer Peng Cheng's question.

After all, the person who set up the formation may have passed away long ago.

But Ling Tian had a guess.

"I suspect that the two millstones are not the real mechanism to open the ruins."

"It's very likely that it's a trap."

"Including the city in front of us, it should be only a part of the ruins."

"Actually, I have always had a question—"

As he said this, he looked at Tu Shang.

asked.

"What exactly are the relics?"

Even if it was left behind by someone, it must have a origin, right?

And what is the purpose of leaving behind relics?

Tu Shang shook his head.

"I don't know, but it is said that the ruins were left by the previous sect."

"Maybe it's the ruins of their former sect?"

"But tens of thousands of years ago, the concept of sects disappeared and was replaced by families."

"Families rise, and sects decline."

"No family would allow a sect to exist."

"That, to them, is a dangerous factor that could challenge their authority at any time."

When a sect selects people, it does not look at their background, it only looks at their talent.

As long as one has good enough talent, even if one's ancestors were peasants for several generations, one can still soar to the sky.

But for those big families.

This is the threat.

Because no one can guarantee whether this genius has any feud with the family.

After all, the family is big.

There are too many arrogant and domineering young men.

There are too many cases where a family was destroyed because of an unappreciated fool.

So later.

The family began to suppress the sect.

Gradually, the sect disappeared.

Only ruins remain.

And ruins are relics.

Just a different name.

Of course, the ones that can leave behind relics don’t necessarily belong to a certain sect.

It could also be a master of a prominent status.

Ling Tian nodded.

"In that case, it is normal for dangers to exist in the ruins."

"It's normal to have traps."

"but--"

"Why is there a place in the ruins that is specifically designed to trap people?"

This is obviously not normal.

If it is to prevent being attacked.

Then you can set up more formations or traps.

Trapping people...

What is the use?

Shock?

It would be better to just chop off his head and hang it on the archway at the door.

Ling Tian's analysis made Tu Shang and others gradually realize something.

"You mean to say this could be a trap?"

"This Guo Zhunyang... is it fake?"

Ling Tian shook his head.

"uncertain."

“But there is indeed a problem.”

"Everyone, be careful when you go in."

"In danger..."

He looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao.

"Just run to her."

"..."

Are you kidding me?

What can a little girl of seven or eight years old do?

When you run towards her in danger, are you afraid that she might survive?

But Tu Shang didn't say much.

He glanced at Zhou Xiaoxiao and said to the others.

"Do as Master Ling Tian says."

Although he also felt it was not very reliable.

But if Ling Tian didn't want to help them, he could just refuse.

There is no need to agree first and then trick them.

Subsequently.

Ling Tian and Tu Shang led the way, the others followed behind them, and Zhou Xiaoxiao brought up the rear.

The group walked through the city gate carefully.

No danger was encountered.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But I dare not relax too much.

The situation behind the city gate did not go beyond everyone's expectations.

It looks like a normal city.

It’s just that the streets are narrower and the houses are mostly tall and slender.

Standing on both sides of the street.

There is a straight passage in the middle, extending hundreds of meters away.

With everyone's eyesight, they can naturally see it clearly.

At the end of this road is a palace.

It is the tallest building in the entire city.

Other than that, there was dust everywhere.

With one step, the shoe surface was almost completely covered.

"These footprints should have been left by the people sent here before."

Tu Shang pointed to the shallow marks on the ground and said.

Indeed, you can still see that they are footprints.

But it's basically covered in dust.

Just a rough outline.

The reason why I use the word "should" is because the footprints are too messy.

In every direction.

So Tu Shang couldn’t be sure whether it was true or not.

Ling Tian didn't rush forward and chose the nearest set of footprints.

"This set of footprints leads to the house on the left. Let's go in and take a look."

No one objected.

Soon everyone arrived at the house on the left.

Probably due to location limitations.

This house has no yard.

There were three rooms in total, and they entered the middle one.

There is one on each side.

And there are footprints on both sides.

This means that the owners of the footprints in these two rooms have been inside.

Ling Tian and Tu Shang looked at each other.

The two men took their respective people into the rooms on the left and right to investigate.

Ling Tian and Zhou Xiaoxiao entered the room on the left.

The room was clean.

It's even a little bit unclean.

Apart from the dust all over the ground, there was not a speck of dust on the bed, table, or even the furniture.

It was as if it had just been wiped by someone.

Apart from this strange place, there were no other discoveries.

When Ling Tian and Zhou Xiaoxiao came out.

Tu Shang and others just happened to come out of the room opposite.

But his face doesn't look very good.

"what happened?"

Ling Tian realized that something might be wrong.

Tu Shang said with a sullen face.

"We found a body. Judging from the clothes the body was wearing, it should be one of ours."

To be on the safe side, they did not move the body.

Still staying where you are.

Ling Tian went in to check.

Like the room on the left, the room on the right was also clean.

There was only a thick layer of dust on the ground.

The body was on the ground.

It had long since rotted away, leaving only bones.

However, scars can also be seen on the bones.

obviously.

This man fled here after being seriously injured, but this was his limit.

He didn't even have the strength to go to the city gate.

It is also possible that there is danger at the city gate as well.

He had no choice but to hide temporarily.

But he might have managed to evade it, after all, the skeleton was still intact.

But he died anyway.

Most of the skeleton had been buried by dust.

It means he died too long ago.

Ling Tian turned around and asked Tu Shang.

"Can you tell who I am?"

Tu Shang shook his head.

Although they are an organization, they are actually not very strict.

On the contrary, it is very loose.

Those who came to rescue Guo Zhunyang all volunteered.

Although there are people organizing it.

But I definitely haven't thought about how to clarify my identity if I die here.

Ling Tian frowned.

If you could know the identity.

You can determine the approximate time of the other person's death.

It seems impossible now.

But the impact is not big.

Nothing was found at this house.

After everyone came out, they followed another set of footprints to other houses.

It's pretty much the same as the first house.

The ground was covered with dust, but other places were as clean as if they had just been washed.

If there wasn't just a set of footprints on the ground.

They even began to doubt whether there were any living people here.

Otherwise, why is the furniture so clean?

And no other footprints...

The doubts did not decrease at all, but increased instead.
