Chapter 473: Li Mazi''s Worries


    When Hou Saners wife heard the wordrevenge,her dispirited eyesbegan to sparkle. In the next moment, she got on her knees in front of me, sobbing and imploring me to take revenge for her husband.


    Hou Saner and Gao Erhuwere having an evenly-matched fight. You all saw that. Then, at the break of dawn, I suddenly heard a shriek. I rushed to the window and saw Hou Saner bewilderedly looking at Gao Erhu. He didnt seem to know what was going on. He even asked why Gao Erhu was there, but Gao Erhu didnt answer him.Instead, he tookhis knifeand started shing


    Hou Saners wife couldnt keep herself from cryingagain.


    Lu Bu wasbetrayedby his own subordinate, Hou Cheng.With this in mind, perhaps he came to take revenge on Hou Chengs descendant.As he was his ancestor, Hou Cheng showed up to protect Hou Saner, butter ran away for some reason.


    Unfortunately,Hou Saner wasstuck bearing the brunt of Lu Bus wrath as a substitute.


    If Hou Cheng came to save Hou Saner, it meant his soulwas livingin some otherworldly item. I asked again, Maam, do you have any antiques or a family heirloom in your house?


    Hou Saners wife snorted. Thats your real goal here, isnt it?


    Then, she wanted us to leave.


    Lacking any other way to convince her, I had to tell the truth. Maam, Impositive thattheresanevil antique in your house. Didnt younoticethat Hou Saner was acting like apletely different personst night when he fought Gao Erhu?In reality,itwasafight between two ghosts.Controlling Hou Saner was the ghost hiding intheantique in your house. If we dontresolve this, you will also die.


    What did you say? Hearing me, Hou Saners wife slumpedtothe ground, her face incredulous.


    Hergazeshifted from us to her husbands coffin. In the end, shesaid, You should visit the Hou familys ancestral hall!


    The Hou familys ancestral hall? I frowned.


    Yeah, the Hou familyhasa treasure hidden in their ancestral hall. Its precious, I guess.Throughout all the time weve been married, I have never seen that treasure.All Iknow is that the treasure is kept inside a ck iron chest. Whenmy husbandwas alive, he told me that its a family heirloom that datesback to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Its been in our family for generations. If its a family heirloom, why would it harm a member of this family?


    Hou Saners wife had criedsomuch that shedalmost lost her voice. She pulled herself together andstoodup, writing me an address. She then looked for the key in her drawer, handingitto me. She asked me to return it to her when I was done.


    Dont worry, maam.I wont let brother Hous death bein vain!


    Itookthe keyandrespectfullybowed to her. Then, I drove directly to the Hou familys ancestral hall.


    On the way there, I felt thatthings werent that simple. There were a total of three subordinates that had betrayed Lu Bu.Asidefrom Hou Cheng, theother two wereSong Xian and Wei Xu.


    WithLu Bus ghostbeingawakened, he wouldnt justsettle forHou Saner. Song Xians and Wei Xus descendants wouldnt escape thistribtion, either.


    I askedBaldy, Whatwasthe surname of the officials son?


    Wei. Whats wrong?Baldydidntunderstand.


    I shook my head. Nothing.


    The next targetwasSong Xians descendant. If Lu Buwasnt dealt with, more people would die.


    I didnt understand why Lu Bu had chosen the hotels grand opening to show up.


    Baldywasalways in the hotel, and if therewasa grudge between them, he should have been killed already. Iftherewasntany animosity, why did Lu Bu burn his hotel?


    Moreover, the incident with Gao Erhus wife was alsostrange.Theseclues were like threads that were weaving acrosseach other, tangling in my head. However, nothing was clear.


    Li Mazi called me, Somethings wrong.


    Whats that?


    He pointed at the cornfields alongside the road. Weve alreadypassed a few viges, and theGPSshowsthat werejust halfway there.Did that woman trick us?


    The ancestral hallmustbe built in a remote area. We should take a nap in the meantime.


    I thought Li Mazi had changed. He was too sensitive. Ipaid him no more heed, closing my eyes for a nap.


    Since I didnt sleepst night, Iquickly fell asleep. When Li Mazi woke me up, wehad reached our destination.


    I shook my head to clear my mind and got out of the car. Li Mazi pulled me back. Baldyand I alreadylookedaround.The ancestral hall is deserted, and theres a big, rusted lock on the gate. We looked through the window, but the inside was empty. Nothings there!


    Impossible! Iwas unconvinced and headedtoward the ancestral hall.


    While walking, I looked around. This vige was really small, and the houses were too far away from each other. Sometimes, random people wouldwalk alongthe road, but none of them paid attention to us.


    The so-called ancestral hall was a shabby, tile-roofed house. Manyof the tileswere broken, and the remaining ones were covered with green moss. The yardwas covered inlush grass, which also looked tattered.


    I frowned, walking to the window to check inside.As soon as I approached the window, I felt strong Yin energy.


    Sinceit was daytime, I couldnt recognizewhat kind of ghost it was.However, I felt the Yin energy permeating the entire ancestral hall. It was just like Li Mazi had told me. There was nothing inside the hall.


    I didnt dare to act rashly. I rushed back to the car to take the Yin and Yang Umbre, ck dog blood, refined salt, and a line marker. I gavetheitems to Li Mazi andBaldy.I think theres something inside the hall. You guys should be careful!


    With the Yin and Yang Umbre on my back, I felt much more resolute. I asked Li Mazi to unlock the gate.


    Hehada wry smile. I also wanted to open it, but the locks center is filled


    What?


    I held the lock in my hand, checking. Someone had poured liquid steel into the lock to fill it.We couldnt open it now.


    Im afraid someonehas been herebefore us


    Li Mazi sighed. This steel has only recently beenpoured into this lock. LittleBrother Zhang, we should go back.The other party has given us a warning. We shouldntmeddle withthis!


    He looked helplessas he said this.


    Baldywas a righteous man. He kept silent for a while before smacking his head. All right, Im going to change the location of my hotel! Li Mazi is right. You dont need to risk your life for me!


    Li Mazi, youve been acting off today. I shot Li Mazi a strange look.


    LittleBrother Zhang, Ru Xue called me. Shes pregnant, soI dont want my kid to be born without a father Li Mazi stooped his head, his voice low.


    No wonder Li Maziwas actingstrangeduring this entiretrip!


    Nevertheless, I wastedfor him. You should go home first.Leavethe restto me!


    I cant do that. Li Mazi sighed.Ifwere lucky,everything will go well. Ifwere unlucky, we cant escape no matter how hard we try!


    Then, he took out a small saw deand beganto saw the lock off.


    Soon, Li Mazi broke the lock.The moment the door was pushed open, a strong wind blew out. I felt my scalp be numb.


    I opened the umbre, taking the lead, and dashedinto the room.


    If this roomwasempty, there should be some secret passage or hidden chamber.
