Chapter 479 Demonic Advancement! The Yu Family Ancestor (34)

After experiencing a series of mind-blowing events.

Zhuang Boshi followed Yu Min to a grand courtyard with a tall gate.

The guards at the entrance were all burly men dressed in light armor and wielding long swords.

In any era, privately maintaining an armed force would be a capital offense, but in this era of overwhelming power for the aristocratic class, it became a symbol of status.

[Yu Mansion]

The plaque hanging above is missing the top dot of the character "庾" (Yu) in the name of the mansion.

It couldn't possibly be a typo.

As if remembering something, Yu Min pulled Zhuang Boshi along and said, "Brother, when you enter this door, you must lower your head and not look directly at the plaque."

The Yu family's estate was vast, with numerous servants and retainers. Just by looking at it, one could see no fewer than a hundred people. The mansion, resembling a palace with its towering peaks, was a testament to the Yu family's current prosperity.

According to Yu Mian, his cousin was the Minister of Works of the current dynasty, and his cousin was the Empress of the current dynasty.

The Yu family was descended from the Wang family and was the second most prominent family in the Southern Dynasties, extremely powerful and influential.

“Brother Pei, you are a descendant of the Pei family, whose lineage has been distinguished for generations,” Yu Mian said warmly.

“I can ask my uncle for an official position for you, to revitalize the Pei clan of Hedong, so that our Hebei clans can stick together for warmth and warmth.”

“However, you must first meet my Yu family patriarch.” He glanced away, not looking at Zhuang Boshi.

"Yeah."

Zhuang Boshi remained calm.

It's unbelievable that someone would be so kind as to meet someone on the road who claimed to be a descendant of the Pei family of Hedong and pay out of their own pocket to bring that person back.

Now they're even going to give him an official position.

Will a windfall come from heaven?
It's more likely a trap from the sky.

At this moment, a pale-faced but handsome man walked over.

He slightly raised his eyes, looked at Zhuang Boshi, and asked, "And who is this gentleman?"

Yu Min quickly stepped forward and stood between the two, introducing himself: "Elder brother, my friend is Pei An of the Pei family."

The handsome man shifted his gaze to Yu Min, and said with a half-smile, "My brother is as enthusiastic as ever."

"This time, did you promise Brother Pei an official position, or did you betroth one of your cousins ​​to him?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I'll go and meet the Ancestor first, and we can talk about other things later." Yu Min's face was a little stiff.

At this moment, a dozen or so members of the Yu family dressed in black also appeared.

It was almost dusk.

The Yu family's visit was scheduled for the afternoon, and everyone was dressed in black, creating a tense and uneasy atmosphere.

Several of the young men were even pale-faced and sweating profusely.

This is seeing the living ancestor.

Let's go see our ancestor in the coffin.

Zhuang Boshi shouldn't even think about it; it's clearly the latter.

Yu Min's intentions in taking a newly acquainted friend to see the ancestor in the coffin are quite obvious.

Inside the old, dark ancestral hall.

“Brother Pei, please stand here.” Yu Min led Zhuang Boshi to a spot marked with a yellow paper.

"The patriarch has a bad temper, so you must not be rude when you pay your respects." His lips had lost their color, and he dared not look up at Zhuang Boshi.

"Understood." Zhuang Boshi looked ahead.

At this moment, the Yu family members had already lined up in two rows, among whom were several who seemed to be from other aristocratic families, looking around in panic.

At the front of the line were two elderly men in their forties or fifties. They didn't offer any instructions or pay any attention to the few outsiders inside. After scanning the group with cold expressions, they stopped paying attention.

Zhuang Boshi saw an irregular black mark on the ground about half a meter in front of him, which looked like dried blood.

Yu Min led Zhuang Boshi to the back, then stood at the very back, trembling uncontrollably.

It seemed as if they were afraid of something.

The further along they went, the more nervous the younger members of the Yu family became. Zhuang Boshi even spotted the handsome man he had just been hoping to meet.

He looked at Yu Min with a mocking expression.

The hall was dimly lit, with the only light coming from the setting sun behind them.

The dark red light reflected on the ground and behind them, as if stained with blood.

clang--

A bell rang.

Once everyone had stood still, the darkness in the center of the curtain, a dozen meters in front of them, was suddenly torn open.

Countless precious paintings, calligraphy, porcelain, jade, and a large quantity of gold and silver jewelry were then exposed, creating a dazzling array of items.

In the center of this collection of valuable items, there was an antique wooden bed.

Thick, plain-colored curtains hung around the bed, and three sturdy white candles were placed on bronze candlesticks in front of the bed, their green flames burning softly.

Through the thick curtains, one could vaguely see something lying on the bed, like a blurry human figure.

The figure was very bulky, as if it had been soaked in water and rotted. On the wall behind the wooden bed, a blood-red character "Yu" hung as tall as a person.

This character 庾 also lacks the dot at the top.

The person on the bed is undoubtedly the protagonist we are meeting today, the patriarch of the Yu family.

It's not a person, of course. It's a ghost.

There was not a trace of benevolence in the ancestral hall; the atmosphere was frighteningly heavy.

The Yu family members remained motionless, not daring to look up at their ancestor.

Some of the young people were even trembling, as if they were about to faint.

Time passed minute by minute.

clang--

The second bell rang.

The first white candle went out.

All the Yu family disciples knelt down in worship.

Perform a deep bow, placing your hands together on your forehead and kowtowing.

After doing this three times, he finally got up.

Zhuang Boshi stood there, motionless, watching the figure on the stage with a mocking expression.

The Yu family disciples around were startled by Zhuang Boshi.

Then, their faces lit up with ecstasy.

Even Yu Min, who was behind him, breathed a sigh of relief.

The patriarch on the stage had already sat up straight.

clang--

The third bell rang.

The second white candle went out.

The Yu family members kowtowed three times.

When they got up.

The old ancestor's posture changed again; he had stood up.

The shadow was very tall, almost as tall as two people.

The ancestral hall was completely silent; if you listened carefully, you could hear people trying to suppress their breathing.

After losing the two candles, the ancestral hall was completely dark.

The sun had already set outside.

Darkness is spreading uncontrollably.

Bosch Zhuang had already taken out a chair and was sitting down leisurely.

clang--

The fourth bell rang.

The last white candle went out.

All the members of the Yu family kowtowed three times.

After getting up this time, darkness had completely enveloped the ancestral hall.

It was an unusual kind of black, so black that even brothers standing right next to each other couldn't see each other clearly.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
All that could be heard was the sound of heavy footsteps.

The source of the sound was obvious; it came from the old ancestor on the wooden bed.

He came down!

The steps were clear; they were heading towards Bosch.

The situation is now very clear.

There is no enthusiastic Yu Min, only a desperate Yu Min.

He pulled himself into this situation to find a scapegoat.

The pattern of killing by the Yu family patriarch could very well be that he randomly selected a descendant of the Yu family.

Finding an outsider to take the place of death is possible.

It probably won't be that simple.

Otherwise, why not just go to the outskirts and grab some dying refugees?

Just one meal.

The footsteps suddenly stopped.

The next moment, a swollen, enormous face with pitch-black eyes appeared in front of Zhuang Boshi.

Snapped!
A beam of light, as bright as the sun, flashed by!
All the members of the Yu family had no choice but to close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, they saw the Yu family patriarch hanging from the beam.

A rusty coffin nail was driven into his forehead.

Everyone looked as if they had been struck, their faces deathly pale.

"Is there anyone who can talk to me about this?" Zhuang Boshi was now sitting in the middle of the pile of gold and silver treasures.

His brow furrowed as he glanced at the Yu family members.

"How have you been feeding this vengeful ghost?"
