Chapter 337 - 60_2
"Really?" Xue Liangliang took the ancestral tablet and looked at it as well, "I can’t understand this, how did you figure it out?"
"I just happened to have studied ancestral tablets a bit recently."
"Xiao Yuan, what are you suspecting?"
"I can’t say for sure yet, but I feel that even if such a family has declined and the descendants are unworthy, it wouldn’t be outrageous enough to hire a Taoist or a monk of that level to perform rituals at the entrance of the village."
Li Zhiyuan turned around and began to walk circles along the interior hall’s walls. This was not a brick wall, but rather a stone wall, with stones of varying colors and sizes that had been polished smooth and arranged in a very reasonable and comfortable layout.
Xue Liangliang casually tossed the ancestral tablet in his hand on the ground, feeling no respect for the ancestors of such a village.
Then, he bent down and crawled under the altar hidden by the curtains, searching inside it to see if he could find an exit.
Run Sheng and Tan Wenbin hadn’t been assigned any specific tasks, but they weren’t idle either, tapping here and stomping there, hoping to stumble upon a dead rat.
After walking around three walls, Li Zhiyuan stopped, closed his eyes, contemplated and reminisced for a while, then opened his eyes and walked again.
In fact, he had noticed something the first time around—the stones of different colors and sizes on the wall were actually a huge jumbled puzzle on three sides.
Ordinary people would never notice it; they would only think that the arrangement was solemn and beautiful. The old Li Zhiyuan wouldn’t have noticed either, had it not been for the blind chess he played with Alii when he was blind.
