Peerless Xiaolong

Guo Yuning held Chu Yuan's arm tightly in her arms, rubbing it on her chest constantly due to walking.

To be honest, Chu Yuan was a little annoyed by her, so he stopped and turned to look at Guo Yuning.

Guo Yuning looked at Chu Yuan with confusion on her face.

Chu Yuan's eyes fell on Guo Yuning's collar and gave her a look.

Seeing this, Guo Yuning hurriedly said: "What are you looking at? It's not like I haven't seen it before. I'll take it off and show it to you when I get back to the hotel."

Chu Yuan said nothing and walked away.

Soon, he led Guo Yuning through the mass graves and arrived at the door of the ancestral hall.

It was almost dark, and the dimness of the evening made the ancestral hall look mysterious.

There was nothing at the entrance of the ancestral hall. There was a patch of weeds as high as half a person. Two stone statues were pushed to the ground. Their arms and legs were missing, and half of their bodies were buried in the ground.

Chu Yuan raised his head and glanced at the door of the ancestral hall, which had the words Cao's Ancestral Hall written on it, but it had become somewhat weathered due to time.

Chu Yuan looked around again and prepared to enter the ancestral hall.

However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on the two stone statues on the ground.

A small half of the stone statue's body was buried in the soil, which attracted Chu Yuan's attention.

Chu Yuan knelt down and looked at the stone statue in front of him.

"What's so interesting about this? Chu Yuan, don't look back. I feel like someone is blowing cool wind on the back of my neck. Moreover, my legs are very cold now." Guo Yuning closed her eyes and squatted next to Chu Yuan.

"Can your pants stop getting cold if you wet them?" Chu Yuan asked angrily.

After saying that, he looked back and saw that it was quiet nearby.

But the stone statue in front of him successfully attracted Chu Yuan's attention: "Why is half of its body buried underground?"

"No need to ask. It has been more than [-] years since heavy rains on the mountain caused mudslides, which washed them down and buried them." Guo Yuning said.

"It makes sense, but why are these graves not covered?" Chu Yuan stood up and looked around again.

This is when he discovered that there were some marks on the ancestral hall door that had fallen to the ground.

"Bullet holes?"

"What bullet holes?" Guo Yuning looked confused.

"There are bullet holes on the door, marks of bullet penetration, and there are also marks on the stone statues. These marks were made by bullets."

"There was a shooting here over thirty years ago."

Guo Yuning followed Chu Yuan's gaze and looked over.

There are indeed many holes in the door, and there are obvious burn marks in the middle.

The stone statue was badly damaged, and the marks looked like they had been shot by bullets.

"Something must have happened to the Cao family's ancestral hall back then. Bai Jiang said that many people from the Cao family suddenly disappeared, which should be related to the traces of these bullets."

"It seems that we have come to the right place today." Chu Yuan clapped his hands and prepared to go in.

But at this time, Guo Yuning closed her eyes and pointed at her feet trembling: "Chu Yuan, I guessed something, it seems to be a person."

Chu Yuan pulled Guo Yuning into his arms. He pushed aside the grass and looked over. At this glance, Chu Yuan's expression changed.

Where Guo Yuning was standing just now, there was a corpse lying on the ground.

Most of the body was in the ground, with only the upper body exposed in the grass.

Guo Yuning's foot just stepped on his head.

"Chu...Chu Yuan, I seem...I can't help it anymore, I want..." Guo Yuning covered her face, her voice was hoarse, and her heart was almost scared out of her chest.

"Take off your pants." Chu Yuan replied.

Guo Yuning endured it and stood aside tremblingly.

Chu Yuan squatted down and looked at the corpse in front of him.

There was only a piece of skin left on the body, and the head had just been stepped off by Guo Yuning's high heels.

Chu Yuan turned on the flashlight he had prepared and looked over, and found several wounds on the corpse's chest, one of which was right at the heart.

This is what the bullet left behind.

"This man was shot to death. His body, like the stone statue, was half buried in the soil."

Chu Yuan muttered silently and was extremely surprised for a moment.

At this time, Chu Yuan no longer stayed and pulled Guo Yuning towards the ancestral hall.

The courtyard of the ancestral hall is also covered with weeds.

However, when Chu Yuan entered, he found that there were many corpses piled up here.

Some have turned into white bones and are scattered around.

Some turned into mummies.

There were so many corpses that it was impossible to count them at a glance.

But most of the bodies were buried in the soil, with only a small part exposed.

……

"How is this going?"

Chu Yuan looked around in surprise, his expression tense for a moment.

Guo Yuning stood aside and did not dare to speak, holding Chu Yuan tightly with both hands.

Chu Yuan picked up Guo Yuning and rushed directly into the hall of the ancestral hall.

I saw that in the middle of the hall was a spiritual altar with many spiritual tablets placed on it, but some of these spiritual tablets were damaged and some fell off the spiritual altar.

Throughout the hall, traces of bullets could be seen everywhere.

Everything here tells Chu Yuan that there seemed to be a gun battle in the ancestral hall more than thirty years ago.

"Cao family, these spiritual positions belong to Cao family." Chu Yuan frowned.

"Those corpses in the yard should all be members of the Cao family."

"Bai Jiang said that they suddenly disappeared and they should have died in the ancestral hall. Is it an internal fight? Or did outsiders get rid of them?"

"If these people from the Cao family died in the ancestral hall, why has no one discovered it over the years?"

Chu Yuan kept looking around. The entire ancestral hall was extremely cold.

Chu Yuan carried Guo Yuning and came to the yard again, put Guo Yuning down, and tried hard to distinguish the surroundings.

After looking at it for a long time, Chu Yuan said: "I understand."

"What do you understand?" Guo Yuning asked quickly.

"These corpses are indeed members of the Cao family. After these people died, someone brought a large amount of soil and buried all the corpses in the yard."

"In the past thirty years, with the erosion of rain, the soil has been washed away, so these buried corpses in the ground have become what they are now." Chu Yuan said quietly.

"Ah?" Guo Yuning covered her mouth and looked around curiously but not daringly.

"All the Cao family died here. Something must have happened. After they died, in order to cover up others' eyes and ears, but maybe because of lack of time, we had to use this method and bury these bodies here."

"So, people who entered the Cao's ancestral hall later did not find these corpses underground at all."

"Later, the ancestral hall began to be haunted, and more and more people were buried here, so no one dared to walk in here anymore." Chu Yuan's face was full of surprise, and his whole body was shocked.

Who on earth killed so many people in the Cao family?

What does this matter have to do with Cao Bao?

However, at this moment, suddenly, the sound of a door opening came from a wing of Cao's ancestral hall.

It seemed as if a figure rushed out of the wing and flashed past.

"Who?" Chu Yuan suddenly turned around and shouted.
