Watch Out! Danger Ahead Chapter 724 – Tiger shadow (1)

Chapter 724: Tiger shadow (1)

|

The stone lion was very old and had been immersed in the Earth’s core, which was filled with strong Yin Qi, for more than two hundred years. It had long decayed.

He was kicked by number seven again, and when he rolled down the steps, a few layers of lime were scraped off. He fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

After this shock and fright, everyone instinctively squeezed to the top of the steps. After seeing that the stone lion had shattered and nothing strange had happened, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

Song qingxiao didn’t push forward, but stood at the back.

Yao Liu had originally wanted to follow her up the steps the moment the stone lion was kicked down, but seeing that she didn’t move, he hesitated for a long time before standing beside her.

“Is there something wrong?” He asked via voice transmission.

Song qingxiao’s eyes fell on the two closed Vermilion gates. The yin Qi here was extremely heavy, and after so many years, the two big words ‘Gu residence’ on the plaque were distorted and almost unrecognizable. However, the color of the gate was the same, and it was extremely bright and eye-catching in the dark underground.

It was as if one could still imagine the Gu family’s glory more than two hundred years ago through this Vermilion door.

The fierce Tiger on the door seemed to have been painted with an unknown golden paint, making the Tiger look fierce and lifelike.

However, even if there was a custom of sticking a painting on the door of an ordinary large family to ward off evil and ensure the safety of the house, most of them would stick it on the door God. Why would they draw a Tiger on the door?

“There’s something wrong.” Song qingxiao replied. Number three and the others had already gone up the steps and stood in front of the door.

“How many years has this door been? the paint hasn’t even faded.” One of the twins glanced at the red Gate and said cautiously, “”The Tiger on it, does it have any meaning?”

His question was directed at number two, and as soon as he finished speaking, number two said,”

“There’s indeed a saying,’with a Tiger drawn at the door, ghosts dare not enter’.” She hissed in surprise,”

“But in the legends, isn’t the Gu family specialized in subduing demons and ghosts?”

Since the legend was true, capturing ghosts and catching monsters was their specialty. Why would they draw a Tiger on the door?

“The Chu family.” Number three interjected,” the Gu family and the Chu family became enemies because of their children’s marriage, and the two families fought each other. The Chu family is well-versed in alchemy and the art of yin and yang. They can keep the dead souls from dissipating and can resurrect the dead. It doesn’t sound like a proper spell.

The secret technique of the Chu clan was similar to those unorthodox techniques. When both parties were enemies, they might have revealed their own abilities.

In order to prevent their nemesis from driving ghosts to harm people, it seemed to make sense that the Gu family had painted a Tiger on their door to protect themselves.

“Besides, who doesn’t get their shoes wet when they walk by the river all day long?” Number three coughed, the Gu family hunts ghosts all year round. It’s not unusual to have such a thing drawn on the door.

As he said this, he heard the sound of water dripping down, followed by a young girl’s cry of surprise.

Their conversation was interrupted. Number two turned around unhappily.

“What’s wrong?”

The young girl covered her forehead with her hand, feeling a little uneasy and disgusted.

“There’s water dripping from above.” She spread out her hand, and there was a ball of red water in her white palm. She looked at it and screamed again,”

“Ah!”

Her shrill screams were extremely ear-piercing. In such a strange environment, her every move could easily affect the others, causing them to reveal fear on their faces.

“It’s just paint, what’s there to panic about?” Number three took a look and didn’t think much of it.

After he said this, everyone looked up at the plaque on the door. Sure enough, they saw that there seemed to be a lot of water droplets gathered under the plaque.

These water drops melted the Vermilion characters on the board, and then dripped down to the bottom of the black board. After forming a large drop of water, it fell down with a ‘pata’ sound.

The young girl’s face looked a little better after hearing his words, but her heart was still beating wildly,’Bang Bang’ against her chest, so loud that everyone around could hear it clearly.

She held back her fear and put her hand to her nose. Indeed, it did not smell like blood, but a pungent smell of oil paint mixed with a faint stale smell.

It was just a false alarm, so the girl’s heart was a little more at ease. She swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and used all her strength to wipe the paint stains on her hands on her clothes and then wiped her forehead..
