The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Chapter 147 The Origin of the Ge Family

Hua Miaomiao was a little confused about the current situation.

Clearly, she was being held tightly and surrounded by people against the wall just a moment ago. But in an instant, she felt a void behind her, as if her body was being pulled by something. After a moment of blurring her consciousness, she appeared in another place.

This place seemed to be a cave, about two people tall and the size of a yard. There was something in the wall, emitting a faint fluorescence, and the surrounding environment was vaguely visible. There was nothing as far as the eye could see. Hua Miaomiao groped around and walked around, but she didn't find a gap. She looked up in confusion, could it be that something had just fallen in from above?

Hua Miaomiao shouted several times towards the top of her head, but unfortunately there was no response. She hated her own weird constitution. How could such a weird thing happen to her when there were three of them standing together?

The cave was a bit damp and cold, so Hua Miaomiao tightened her clothes. Suddenly, she touched something, which was the sound transmission bell that Hua Niaoniao had given her. She had forgotten to return it because of the problems she had encountered before.

At this moment, this thing was like her life-saving straw. She held the voice transmission bell and kept trying to call Ge Qingcheng, hoping that her brother would remember this thing and try to contact her.

Unfortunately, Hua Miaomiao is going to be disappointed.

Ge Qingcheng did take out the sound transmission bell. In addition to being able to communicate with each other, it was also made of fine cinnabar and had the effect of warding off evil spirits. So the first thing Ge Qingcheng did when he thought of it was to hand it to Hua Niaoniao.

When Hua Miaomiao was calling Ge Qingcheng with all her heart, the sound transmission bell was in Hua Niaoniao's hand. When Hua Niaoniao realized that Hua Miaomiao also had this thing and was about to let Ge Qingcheng try it, Hua Miaomiao was tired and gave up.

Just like that, the two of them missed each other by accident.

Hua Miaomiao wanted to cry but had no tears. She found a flat wall to sit against. There was no way out, so she just waited for someone to come and save her.

But she didn't expect that the wait would last two days.

As for Hua Niaoniao, with Ge Qingcheng's comfort, she finally stopped getting so anxious that she lost her mind. The two of them walked inside together, and they didn't encounter the strange invisible thing again along the way.

"Don't worry, Miaomiao is the daughter-in-law of my Ge family. Our ancestors will bless her."

Bless? Hua Niaoniao glared at him unhappily: "Yes, yes, your ancestors are the most spiritual. So what did your ancestors do? Why would they bury their ancestors in a place like this?"

Hua Niaoniao was just joking, but she didn't expect Ge Qingcheng to suddenly fall silent.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you are hiding from me?" Hua Niaoniao was a little concerned, after all, it was related to Hua Miaomiao. If Ge Qingcheng was still hiding something, she would be really unhappy.

Ge Qingcheng was a little embarrassed. He didn't mean to hide it from Hua Niaoniao, but the history of the Ge family's rise was indeed a little difficult to talk about. However, seeing that Hua Niaoniao was really angry, Ge Qingcheng didn't care about anything else. After all, it was something that had already happened.

It turns out that the Ge family was not originally a merchant family. Their ancestors migrated from other places. During the famine years, the ancestors of the Ge family became bandits and did robbery and kidnapping. Later, he was pulled into the gang and had the idea of ​​going to the tomb.

As for how he became rich later and where he got the secret method of making talismans, it is unknown. Maybe he had a strange encounter in a tomb.

Hua Niaoniao sighed after hearing this. She never thought that the Ge family had such a secret. Now she regretted forcing him to answer.

However, this can explain why this place was chosen so unpredictably. Maybe the people there understand Feng Shui and chose the acupuncture points on purpose.

Hua Niaoniao suddenly thought of something and grabbed Ge Qingcheng tightly.

"Is there any fatal mechanism in here? Did Miaomiao fall into the mechanism when she suddenly disappeared?"

When they thought of this possibility, both of them looked unhappy.

Ge Qingcheng still tried to comfort Hua Niaoniao, but the other party was now anxious.

Hua Niaoniao rushed forward. The road was dark and narrow, so she stumbled and bumped into things but didn't care.

Ge Qingcheng couldn't stop her, so he could only stay by her side as much as possible and protect her.

"Ah!" Hua Niaoniao suddenly bumped into something and bounced back. Fortunately, Ge Qingcheng was right behind her and caught her in the first time, preventing her from falling.

The two took several steps back before they could stand firm, and then went up together to check the situation.

Ge Qingcheng touched it and found it was a wall. He knocked on it and found it was empty.

"This seems to be a door." Hua Niaoniao said.

Ge Qingcheng felt the same way. Even though he had no cultivation, he could still feel the powerful spiritual power through the wall. Moreover, as he continued to touch it with his hands, he seemed to touch a groove, and the texture was very familiar.

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Hua Niaoniao asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you find anything?"

Ge Qingcheng turned around and said to her: "I seem to know how to open this door."

"Really?"

"I'll try it first."

Ge Qingcheng took out the patriarch's precious jade. Before, he only thought that this thing was connected to the Ge family's house protection formation, but he didn't expect that it was actually a key.

He carefully placed the jade into the groove and pressed it lightly. With a click, the stone door slowly split in two and slowly retreated into the wall.

The spiritual energy that came towards her was so rich and heavy that it made Hua Niaoniao feel a little dizzy.

"Are you okay?" Ge Qingcheng supported her.

"It's okay, let's go in."

The two of them walked in together, and it was still a natural cave.

The uneven ground and the rocky cave ceiling show almost no traces of human activity except for the countless luminous pearls spread on the ground for lighting.

"Your ancestors were too extravagant." Hua Niaoniao couldn't help but sigh.

Ge Qingcheng was ashamed. Just these night-shining pearls on the ground would be enough to earn the entire city's citizens several years' income.

"But why don't I see any coffins or anything like that?" With burial objects of this scale, it must be the main tomb chamber.

Hua Niaoniao walked forward as she spoke, carefully observing everything around her.

"Be careful!" Ge Qingcheng pulled her back, "Look at your feet."

Hua Niaoniao looked down and saw a skeleton lying not far from her feet. She was just looking for the big coffin and didn't notice the low place under her feet. Could this be the ancestor of the Ge family? Or a tomb robber?

Ge Qingcheng was puzzled, so he went forward to check the skeleton. The bones of this person were very smooth and complete, and it was obvious that they were nourished by spiritual energy. Next to him was a jade slip with small characters engraved on it.

This is a character profile. The skeleton is indeed the ancestor of the Ge family. When he was young, he participated in tomb robbing and was chased by the victim's family. He escaped into this mountain crevice by mistake. At that time, the mountain collapsed and he was buried inside. He had no choice but to go deeper to find a way out.

He accidentally discovered this cave and saw a very special piece of soil in the cave, which was warm, soft and resilient. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but since he touched the soil, he suddenly felt refreshed and all his previous fatigue disappeared.

He liked this thing very much, but although it looked casual, it was ridiculously heavy. He couldn't take it with him, so he could only grind off a piece with great effort and carry it with him.

When he regained his strength, he went back to the exit and dug for a long time before he finally saw the light of day again.

After this incident, he decided to turn over a new leaf. He regarded this sacred land as a lucky charm and always carried it with him.

He settled down in the mountains and made a living by hunting. Once, he stayed in the mountains for too long and met a fox fairy who came to seek revenge when he was walking home in the evening. He was almost captured, but was saved by the divine soil hanging on his chest.

From then on, he realized the power of the sacred soil. He found that as long as he soaked the sacred soil in water and then wet the talisman, it would have a strong effect in exorcising evil spirits.

So he started selling talismans. He didn't know how to draw talismans, and even if he copied someone else's drawing, it would lose its original appearance. But because the talisman paper itself had power, those who used his talismans would also think that the talismans he drew were unique and particularly powerful.

Later, he owned his own shop and established his own business. He buried the sacred soil in the land of his own home and led a spring of clear water into it for use by his descendants.

Until he knew that his end was near, he quietly returned here alone and stayed at the edge of the sacred land.
