Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

After hearing what Yang Shumao said, Ye Fei felt an indescribable pain in her heart. She knew that she had lost everything and could never get it back.

"Yang Shumao, I really don't want to lose you." Ye Fei's voice was tearful, and she felt that she had fallen into despair.

Xu Mingjie has been a smart child since he was young. He likes reading, especially history and literature. Every time his mother takes him to the small bookstore in town, he always excitedly picks out his favorite books and then immerses himself in the world of books. Xu Mingjie's interest in reading also affects his academic performance. He has always been a top student in school.

In high school, Xu Mingjie encountered the first turning point in his life. That year, his history teacher, Mr. Zhang, said to him: "Mingjie, you are a child with potential. If you are willing, I can recommend you to participate in a history competition." Xu Mingjie agreed without hesitation, and he began to devote more time and energy to studying history, looking up materials, and taking notes. In the end, he won the first prize in the country in that competition, which not only made him famous in school, but also made him determined to develop in the field of history in the future.

The cemetery is located in a secluded valley, surrounded by towering trees, which makes it look particularly gloomy. The two walked on the rugged path, and Ran Qiuye looked down at the map in his hand from time to time.

"Mingjie, the tombstone we are looking for is right in front." Ran Qiuye said, pointing to a dilapidated stone tablet not far away.

Xu Mingjie nodded, and the two of them quickened their pace and walked over. There were some ancient characters engraved on the stone tablet, which were already blurred. Xu Mingjie squatted down and carefully identified the characters, with a vague ominous premonition in his heart.

"These words... seem to record some family secrets." Xu Mingjie said with a frown.

"Yes, it mentions something we have never heard of. We need to find more clues." There was a hint of nervousness in Ran Qiuye's voice.

The two continued to search the cemetery, trying to find more clues. Suddenly, Ran Qiuye found a small hidden box behind a dilapidated tombstone. She carefully opened the box, and inside was an ancient letter and a yellowed map.

"What is this?" Xu Mingjie walked over and looked down at the things in the box.

"This letter... was written by the ancestor of that family to his descendants. The letter mentioned some important secrets and also marked a location." Ran Qiuye read the letter carefully, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

"We need to go to this location and see what is hidden there." Xu Mingjie said firmly.

Following the instructions in the letter and the map, they came to a remote cave. The entrance of the cave was blocked by dense vegetation, and if it weren't for the map, they would never have found this place.

"This is the secret hiding place of that family." Ran Qiuye whispered, with a hint of excitement and nervousness in his eyes.

Xu Mingjie took out a flashlight and illuminated the entrance of the cave. "Be careful, follow me."

The two walked into the cave one after the other. The air in the cave was cold and damp, and the sound of footsteps echoed between the walls. After walking for a few minutes, they found an iron door at the end of the cave. The iron door was covered with rust and looked very old.

"What is hidden in here?" Ran Qiuye's voice trembled a little.

"Let's go in and take a look." Xu Mingjie reached out and pushed open the iron door. The door creaked open slowly, revealing a dim stone chamber inside.

There were some old boxes and bookshelves in the stone room, which were covered with dust. Xu Mingjie illuminated a corner of the room with a flashlight and found an ancient manuscript.

"What is this?" He walked over, picked up the manuscript and started flipping through it.

The manuscripts recorded the history of the family and some important secrets. Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye read them carefully and found that the manuscripts revealed some truths about major events in the town.

"If these things were made public, it would have a huge impact on the history of the town." Ran Qiuye said in a low voice.

"Yes, but we need to study the materials carefully and find more evidence before we can reveal the truth," Xu Mingjie said firmly.

The two carefully took the manuscripts and documents home and continued to conduct in-depth research. It took them several months to finally organize the ancient texts and photos into a detailed report.

One night, Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye were discussing their next plan when they heard a hurried knock on the door. Xu Mingjie went to open the door and found Li Zhongliang standing at the door, looking very nervous.

"What happened, Li Zhongliang?" Xu Mingjie asked.

"We have been discovered, and someone knows that we are investigating these things." There was a hint of panic in Li Zhongliang's voice.

"How could this happen? Are you sure?" Ran Qiuye asked in surprise.

"Sure, I received a threatening letter warning us not to continue the investigation." Li Zhongliang took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to them.

Xu Mingjie and Ran Qiuye felt a chill in their hearts as they read the letter. The letter not only threatened them to stop the investigation, but also mentioned their families. It was obvious that the other party had already grasped their whereabouts.

"What should we do now?" Ran Qiuye asked anxiously.

"We can't retreat, this means we are close to the truth. But we need to be more careful to ensure our safety." Xu Mingjie said calmly.

In the following days, they conducted research more carefully and strengthened the protection of themselves and their families. Despite facing heavy pressure, they remained determined to pursue the truth because they knew that the truth of this history must be revealed.

One night, Xu Mingjie was about to rest when his cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and it was Ran Qiuye.

"Mingjie, I have received new clues and must see you immediately." There was urgency in Ran Qiuye's voice.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Xu Mingjie hung up the phone, quickly put on his clothes, picked up his car keys and went out.

He drove to Ran Qiuye's home, knocked on the door, and Ran Qiuye quickly opened the door.

"Mingjie, come in." She welcomed Xu Mingjie into the house, her face looking very nervous.

"What new clues?" Xu Mingjie asked after sitting down.

Ran Qiuye took out a small box from his bag and opened it to reveal an ancient badge and a letter. The letter mentioned some important information about the family and also marked a new location.

"What is this badge?" Xu Mingjie picked up the badge and looked at it carefully.

"This is the emblem of that family. The letter said that this emblem can open a secret location." Ran Qiuye explained.
