Therefore, he could tell at a glance.
He Lie could also tell. He couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart, and his face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost.
He Lie held the scabbard in one hand and slowly walked half a circle around the wall. All the walls were painted with strange patterns.
He didn’t dare to touch the wall, afraid that there was some evil technique here. It wouldn’t be good if it backfired.
He Lie walked around the secret room twice before leaving.
The secret room was dark and damp, and the garden outside was brightly lit. It was as if they were in two different worlds.
He Lie sat down in a pavilion next to the rockery. Some servants served him tea, and some subordinates came to report from time to time. For example, they caught a few servants of the Yu family who wanted to escape. All the servants of the Yu family had been detained in the west wing. For example, the entire residence had been searched, and no other secret room was found.
…..
He Lie drank a few cups of tea and finally heard movement at the entrance of the garden. From afar, he heard Gao Yuan’s respectful and almost flattering voice. “Second Lady Gu, this way please. Be careful not to slip.”
Shocked, He Lie quickly got up and headed in the direction of the voice.
Not far away, Gu Yanfei walked over leisurely under the guidance of the plateau.
“Second Lady Gu.” He Lie politely cupped his fists at Gu Yanfei. He was filled with respect.
He had asked Gao Yuan to report to the Emperor because he wanted to ask Gu Yanfei for instructions. However, he didn’t expect her to come personally.
“I’ll have to trouble Lord He to bring me to take a look.” Gu Yanfei also cupped her hands at He Lie. Her smile was faint and her actions were casual.
The head of the Yu Family, Yu Si, had already been taken down and sent to Chengtian Gate to be personally interrogated by the Emperor. There was nothing for Gu Yanfei to do there. She had originally wanted to come to the Yu Family to take a look, but it just so happened that Gao Yuan had reported the “ghost wall” incident, so she came with him.
He Lie smiled even more eagerly. Not only did he not feel that there was anything wrong with Gu Yanfei’s etiquette, but he also thought that an expert should naturally be this kind of person who didn’t care about trifles.
“Second Lady Gu, this way.” As He Lie led Gu Yan to the rockery, he said, “Those children are all in the secret room. I’ve already ordered my subordinates not to act rashly.”
The two of them passed through the secret door and stepped on the stone steps into the secret chamber below.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards had already placed several torches in the secret chamber, illuminating the originally dark secret chamber. The dark brown patterns on the wall became clearer.
At first glance, these lines seemed to have been drawn randomly. When one looked again, the lines seemed to contain some strange power, as if snakes were swimming around. It was a terrifying feeling of a group of demons dancing.
Gu Yanfei stroked her chin and looked at these patterns. She frowned.
When He Lie saw her frown, he knew what was going on. As expected, this wasn’t a good thing!
“Second Lady Gu, what is this?” He Lie asked cautiously.
The other Embroidered Uniform Guards at the back also pricked up their ears. Just staying here made their hair stand on end.
“This is an array to gather spiritual energy and borrow luck,” Gu Yanfei said in a low voice. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped it on the patterns on the wall. Then, she sniffed it. ‘This array has been activated at least three times.”
These words shocked He Lie and the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Their imaginations ran wild, and they felt as if countless vengeful souls had died with grievances buried here. The surrounding air became even colder.
He Lie calmed himself down and couldn’t help but ask, “Does every activation of the array cost the lives of two hundred children?’
Gu Yanfei casually paced around the secret room with her hands behind her back. She turned her head and looked around. From the patterns on the wall, she looked straight at the children on the straw mat and walked in their direction.
Gao Yuan wanted to remind her that there was a •wall” in front of her, but he saw that Gu Yanfei had already stopped. It was as if she could see the transparent wall in front of her.
She slowly squatted down and looked at the children lying motionless on the straw mat in front of her. She said, “Children have pure minds and are often not tainted by too much karma. The first step to activating the array is to gather spirit’ with the child’s heart blood.”
“The next step is to borrow luck from those who are lucky.”
“Spirit gathering first, then borrowing luck?” He Lie muttered thoughtfully.
“That’s right.” As he spoke, Gu Yanfei stood up and looked at He Lie. Her eyes emitted a dazzling light under the illumination of the surrounding flames.
“There are always some people in this world who are born with exuberant luck.” Gu Yanfei casually pointed at He Lie. “Just like you, Lord He.”
‘Him?!’ He Lie’s body stiffened. In an instant, he felt uncomfortable, as if his soul and even his fate had been seen through by the other party.
The gazes of the other Embroidered Uniform Guards were also attracted by her. They looked at He Lie with a strange gaze, making his heart inexplicably turn cold..
