#2444 - The location of the ancestors

Before long, they arrived at the villa.

The Zhao family head said plainly, "Senior Su, we're here."

From afar, they could see two dilapidated stone lions guarding the entrance of the villa, their appearance indicating great age.

Approaching closer, they saw that the villa's gate was not as dilapidated as the stone lions. Although it had weathered many years, it was not decaying, mainly because of its good quality.

"Father, Mother, this place looks deserted. Does no one come to clean it regularly?" Zhao Qingyao said blandly.

Madam Zhao immediately explained, "How could no one clean it? I clearly sent servants to clean it regularly. Those servants must be slacking off. I will settle accounts with them when we return."

Su Changge said calmly, "Alright, let's not discuss these unimportant matters. Let's go in quickly."

Zhao Qingyao echoed with a smile, "Su-gege is right. Let's take care of the important matter first."

The Zhao family head nodded and was about to open the door when Su Changge preemptively opened it without anyone noticing.

Subsequently, the group entered the house in the villa.

"Father, where is the ancestor's body?" Zhao Qingyao asked.

The Zhao family head said, "Actually, I don't know exactly where it is. I only know it's in this villa, but I seem to have heard my father say it's in a secret chamber. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Then, Father, do you know where the secret chamber is?" Zhao Qingyao asked doubtfully.

Zhao's father shook his head, saying bluntly, "This, Father, doesn't know, because I rarely come to this place. When I do come, I just take a look and don't stay long. Moreover, I don't know if the matter about the secret chamber is true or not, so I didn't take it to heart. But Yao'er, you don't need to worry anxiously. We have so many people here; I believe we can find the secret chamber soon."

"Yes, Yao'er, with Senior Su here, this problem is not a problem at all," Madam Zhao also stepped forward to comfort her.

Zhao Qingyao said with a smile, "Father, Mother, I'm just asking. It doesn't matter if you don't know. It will just take some time."

The Zhao family head said seriously, "I estimate there should be some mechanism. Then, I will have to trouble everyone to put in some effort and help find it quickly."

Upon hearing this, the other Zhao family members present flattered him one after another:

"Don't worry, Family Head. We will definitely search carefully."

"That's right. It's our honor to share the Family Head's worries and help Senior Su and Qingyao."

"That's right. Actually, we are all very curious about where our Zhao family's ancestor is hidden."

"Senior Su, Qingyao, you can rest there. Leave this kind of trivial matter to us."

Su Changge smiled and said, "Alright, I'll give you a chance to perform."

Subsequently, the Zhao family members began to search for the secret chamber where the ancestor was located.

Almost half an incense stick of time had passed, and they still hadn't found the switch to the secret chamber.

Ye Qingyao was a little speechless and said, "Su-gege, I'll go look too. I'm getting anxious watching them search."

Su Changge sighed slightly and said, "Forget it, I'll accompany you. Who knows if they'll be able to find it by nightfall if we let them search. It's really a waste of time."

Just as the two of them were about to start searching, an extremely excited voice suddenly came.

"I found the mechanism! Come over quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Su Changge and Zhao Qingyao immediately followed, and the others also seemed very excited and responded immediately.

The door to the secret chamber had been opened, and a corpse was sitting inside.

Rather than saying it was a corpse, it would be better to say it was a dead person, but one thing was different. Although this person had been dead for who knows how many years, his physical body was intact, no different from an ordinary person. Those who didn't know would think he was just asleep.

Someone exclaimed, "Is this our Zhao family's ancestor?"

The Zhao family head said, "How could it be fake? But I'm very puzzled. Hasn't our family's ancestor been dead for many years? Why does his physical body look like it hasn't decayed at all? This is really too amazing."

Madam Zhao also said in shock, "Yes, I'm also very surprised. I thought I would see a skeleton, but I didn't expect it to be an intact physical body. How was this done?"

Su Changge smiled faintly and explained, "Actually, there's nothing strange about this. The reason why his physical body hasn't decayed after so long is that he should have some treasure on his body that can prevent the physical body from rotting, or he had some special encounters during his lifetime that allowed him to possess such a skill."
