There is a trick

Chapter 52: Memorial
Swish!
Zhou Chang stretched out his hand and grabbed the tip of the iron spear that was thrusting straight at him. With a twist of his wrist, he broke the iron spear in half!

Strands of iron thoughts were wrapped around the half-broken iron spear. As Zhou Chang's mind moved slightly, the iron spear instantly turned its tip and pointed at Bai Mu's head!
"Pfft!"

At this moment, Bai's mother's knees went weak and she suddenly fell to her knees!
She kowtowed to Zhou Chang repeatedly and begged: "Spare my life! Spare my life!"

Zhou Chang was stunned by Bai's mother's sudden action.

Then, he lowered his eyes to look at Bai's mother who was kneeling and begging for mercy, and asked, "If it were your daughter kneeling in front of you and begging for mercy, would you spare her?"

Upon hearing this, Bai's mother, who had her head down, suddenly felt her shoulders tremble!
The next moment, she suddenly got up from the ground, turned around and ran away!

——Before she could run five steps, Zhou Chang threw the half-broken iron spear in his hand at her back!
"Whoosh!"

The thoughts wrapped around the iron spear were retracted in an instant, and the half-broken iron spear suddenly pierced through the air like an arrow, and entered the heart of Queen Bai's mother, with a bloody iron spear head protruding from her chest!

Bai's mother's running body suddenly froze, and then she fell forward!

Zhou Chang threw the gun but did not even look at the result. He turned around and kicked the iron sword left on the ground towards Nalan Rongzhen who was fleeing in panic!
The long sword broke through the air, and the blade pierced through Nalan Rongzhen's head in an instant!
The blood slowly spread over the two people's bodies.

The others had all fled into the surrounding darkness and disappeared.

Zhou Chang took a deep breath, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.

Then he glanced at the body lying on the ground and turned away.

……

In the darkness, Bai Xiu'e and her father followed Zhou Chang step by step.

She couldn't see Zhou Chang's expression, so she asked him quietly, "Where did you go just now?"

"Oh, I went to find a place to relieve myself."

Zhou Chang turned his head and glanced at Bai Xiu'e. His answer was as indifferent as his expression.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiu'e closed her mouth tightly and remained silent for a long time.

She had a hunch that Zhou Chang's sudden disappearance was definitely not as simple as he said, "going to the toilet". She even had a premonition of what he did after he left.

But Zhou Chang's response made her lose the courage to ask further.

Moreover, Zhou Chang avoided talking about the previous events, which made Bai Xiu'e feel more at ease.

She no longer had to worry about her mother's life or death, and no longer had to bear the guilt for it.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou..." Bai Xiu'e's heart was filled with gratitude towards Zhou Chang.

"You are Welcome."

Zhou Chang stopped in the darkness, turned his head again, looked at Bai Xiu'e's pretty face, and said, "It's just that no one will be able to help you every time in the future, you will need to save yourself in the end.

Only by saving yourself can you live up to the good intention of God in sending you to this world."

"Okay, okay!" Bai Xiu'e quickly nodded in agreement.

Zhou Chang smiled and looked away.

The place where his face was facing was the only brightly lit place in the pitch-black Bai family cemetery.

On the high slope over there, blue bricks were neatly stacked to form a high wall. Inside the high wall, the exterior wall was painted dark red like a palace, with black eaves extending outward.

Red lanterns are hung under the eaves, with candlelight flickering in the wind.

"What is that place?" Zhou Chang asked Bai Xiu'e, pointing to the high-walled courtyard on the high slope that was very different from ordinary houses.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiu'e hesitated to speak and turned to look at her father beside her.

As for the origin of the building, Bai's father could explain it better than she did.

Father Bai, who had been silent until now, now looked up at the building standing on the only high ground in Baijiafen. His eyes were a little cold: "That is the ancestral hall of the Nalan dogs!" As soon as he opened his mouth, he poured out everything he knew: "The Nalan family - that is, the Nara family, now the Jingbai family of Baijiafen, after settling in Baijiafen, first used money to occupy the high slope, and then every year they raised the wall on the slope to build their Nalan ancestral hall.

According to the older generation, that high slope is the most essential feng shui location of the entire Baijiafen.

It was precisely because the Nalan family occupied that high ground that the Bianbai family never recovered!
But later, someone from the Bian Bai family secretly invited someone to take a look, and the person said that the location of the high slope was actually very unfavorable for living people.

That high slope is the core location of the "Immortal Tower" in the Feng Shui layout of "The Sick Dragon Ascends to the Immortal Tower" on this mountain range!
Legend has it that if a dead person is buried in the Immortal Tower, the Immortal Tower can carry his body up to heaven and bring him back to life!"

At this point, Bai's father looked a little strange: "In fact, the reason why the Nalan family, who was enjoying wealth and honor far away in the capital, suddenly fled to a cold and bitter place like Qingyi Town, hid their surnames, and hid in the Bai Family Tomb is rumored to be because the Bai Family Tomb is actually the tomb of a former Qing imperial concubine.

It is said that the former Qing imperial concubine was named Nara. She went here secretly for some business and eventually died of illness here.

The weather was very hot at the time, and it was difficult to transport her body back to the capital, so she was buried on the spot in the Feng Shui location of the "Sick Dragon Ascending to the Immortal Tower".

That high slope is actually the soil from the tomb of a former Qing Dynasty concubine."

"The Qing court was always very secretive about palace affairs, and the management of concubines in the harem was extremely strict.

How could a former Qing imperial concubine leave the palace, even leave the capital, and come to Qingyi Town?" Zhou Chang frowned. He felt that the rumors mentioned by Father Bai were really beyond common sense.

Father Bai shook his head indifferently: "Who knows if it's true or not? People are spreading it this way anyway.

Moreover, several hundred years ago, Wen family ancestor 'Wen Yongsheng' made a special trip to the Bai family's tomb, paid homage to the ancestral hall of the Jingbai family, and presented a plaque and a stone tablet.

The stone tablet was once erected at the entrance of Baijiafen village.

The plaque may also be hidden in the ancestral hall, and the stone tablet contains the memorial text of Wen Laozu for the former imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty. "

"Oh?" Zhou Chang looked surprised. "Why didn't I see the stone tablet at the entrance of the village when I entered?"

"I've never seen it either, I just heard others say so." Father Bai said, "The stone tablet must have been dug away by someone later, or it may have been damaged and disappeared from then on.

But some villagers living at the entrance of the village said that when they occasionally got up at night, they could still see the shadow of the stone tablet standing at the entrance of the village.

If we pass by there, we might actually see the stone tablet."

Zhou Chang did not respond to what Bai's father said. He took a deep look at the ancestral hall on the high slope and said, "Let's go."

He took the first step and walked into the depths of darkness.

Bai Xiu'e and Bai's father followed behind in a hurry.

After walking like this for a while, the entrance to Baijiafen Village, which led to the rugged mountain road, became faintly visible in the darkness ahead.

Zhou Chang looked carefully near the entrance of the village, but did not see the stone tablet erected by Old Ancestor Wen.

He looked away, feeling more and more that what Mr. Bai had said before must have been just a rumor.

However, when he looked towards the village entrance again, he suddenly discovered that a dark stone tablet had been erected on the flat ground where there was nothing there. The pale moonlight shone on the stone tablet, but did not leave any shadow in front of it.

"The stone tablet..."

Father Bai's pupils shrank and he looked at his daughter in surprise.

He had never thought that what he just said casually would come true!
Zhou Chang walked quickly to the black stone tablet, and indeed, there was an obituary on it.

The sacrificial text was titled "Sacrificial to Emperor Shizong of the Qing Dynasty and Consort Xiaosu", and the signature was exactly the three words "Wen Yongsheng"!

The moonlight was faintly projected on the three characters "Wen Yongsheng", infiltrating the mottled stone cracks around the inscriptions. Those cracks were interconnected, and vaguely seemed to form the three ancient seal characters "Cao Tou Long".

When Zhou Chang raised his eyes and saw the first line of Wen Yongsheng's eulogy, his pupils contracted!
Because it clearly says:

"Alas! It has been more than a few decades since the head of Emperor Sejong Heon was cut off by traitors. Fortunately, with the protection of the ancestral temple and the country, Concubine Hyosu finally found the head of Emperor Sejong Heon and buried it here..."

The Emperor Shizong of the Qing Dynasty was Yongzheng.

According to this lame eulogy, when Yongzheng was on the run, his head was not on his neck, but had been cut off and stolen!
Decades later, Yongzheng's Consort Xiaosu finally found his head. For some reason, she wanted to bury it together with his head in the Bai family tomb!
