Chapter 346

The housekeeper's face suddenly turned red and said angrily, "Sir, do you suspect that some of us deliberately made some noise to intimidate Miss Xia?"

Jiang Ying quickly waved his hand, "no, no, No. That's not what I mean. You're mistaken. I heard the sound of footsteps the day before yesterday, specially ran out to check, but found no one. Last night, not only heard the sound of footsteps, but also heard a woman crying. I felt so weird that I didn't dare go out to see it. I don't mean what you've done, but what you think is in this castle. Therefore, Yiping came to you to inquire about the history of the ancient castle and see if the news is related to the past history. "

The housekeeper looked at Qiao Yiping suspiciously, "is that so, sir?"

Qiao Yiping said with a smile: "you should not doubt Miss Xia's words. It's been several years since I bought this castle. I know very well what you think of me and this castle. So, I really don't mean that. Don't think about it. I just heard Miss Xia say that, and I feel strange to ask you for advice. "

"Is that so? That's my worry! I'm sorry The housekeeper slowed down a little, thought about it for a while, and then said, "the castle has experienced hundreds of years, 12 generations of owners, and also the replacement of dynasties. It seems unrealistic to say that there is no bloody or fishy thing here. In short, in the era of chaos, almost every generation will have a few bloody things. But there is one thing that has a great impact and even caused a nationwide sensation. "

"What's the matter?" Qiao Yiping and Jiang Ying asked in unison.

"It is said that there is a generation of masters here, a countess. She is beautiful and social. She is famous in the upper class for her beautiful appearance and superb boudoir skills. Up to the princes and nobles, down to the common people, no one does not admire her. The strangest and most interesting thing is that when time goes by, the feelings around her become old one by one, but she is still beautiful and energetic. Her youth has aroused the envy of all women, and they all want to get the secret of her eternal youth and beauty. But the countess never talked about it, and when asked, she always skilfully avoided the subject. It makes her more and more mysterious and makes men all over the country crazy about it. The husband of one of the ladies was seduced by the countess. He fell in love with the countess. Even when he went to the countess's side to pour tea and water, he was so happy that he didn't even go home at night. The lady was very desperate. In order to get her husband back, she decided to steal the secret recipe of keeping the countess young and beautiful, so she designed to send her maid into the castle. The maid was clever, sensible and observant. She soon won the countess's trust and was able to stay with her frequently. After a long time, the maid gradually found that at midnight every day, the countess would quietly get up, carry the lantern and push open the long closed door

"The maid was very strange, thinking that it must be the countess who secretly went there to eat the soup which can keep her youth and beauty forever. And the secret recipe must be in it. So, one night, she quietly followed the countess through the door. After entering, I found that behind the door was a long and narrow secret road. The stairs spiraled down like a snake, deep into the earth. It was dark below, and she could not see what was there. She could even feel a cold wind with a strong blood. The fishy air was coming towards her face. The maid was a little afraid and instinctively wanted to turn away and go back to the bright world. But when I think about the lady's request, and I'm curious about the secret recipe, I finally decided to follow her and have a look. " At this point, the housekeeper stopped for a breath, his face full of fear in his eyes.

Jiang Ying leaned back towards Qiao Yiping in fear, nervously holding his hand and exerting himself again and again.

Joe gave her a safe smile and handed the housekeeper a cup of coffee. "Don't worry, speak slowly."

"Thank you." The housekeeper whispered his thanks, adjusted his mood, and then continued, "the maid was counting silently as she went down. When she saw the lights at last and saw a huge underground hall suddenly appear in front of her, she had already counted to 1880. The maid hid herself in the shadow of the wall and peered out. There were seven or eight wooden cages in the hall. There is a beautiful young girl in every cage. They had been thrown into the wooden cage, and were staring at the countess in the middle of the hall, who was slowly taking off her robes. After taking off her robe, the countess caressed herself pitifully. Then she opened her lips and said to the strong man beside the wooden cage, "let's go!" The strong man answered, opened the wooden cage, grabbed all the girls one by one like a chicken, and then pushed them to a huge and strange thing like a wheel. The girls recoiled in horror. The strong man was not in a hurry. Then he grabbed a young girl and pushed her hard towards the wheel which was covered with huge thorns. The girl screamed, and the thorn went deep into her chest. The countess walked to the middle of the ship with a smile, opened her arms, and raised her beautiful and delicate face. Blood trickled down on the countess's face and body... "

No matter how bold Jiang Ying was, she couldn't help exclaiming, "is that how she keeps herself beautiful? Blood bath? Fresh, steaming blood? "

"Yes. That's her secret recipe. The blood of seven pure girls every night. I heard that at the time of the crime, there was a room with a hundred Ping outside the hall, which was already full of corpses. " The housekeeper nodded.

"My God! It's bloody. It's cruel! " Jiang Ying murmured.

Qiao Yiping reached out and gently hugged her in his arms, "don't be afraid! That's all in the past! "

The housekeeper took a look at her and continued: "at that time, the maid was paralyzed on the ground. When she realized it was too late to run away. The countess seized her and made her the number of seven for the next day. She also gave birth to the blood bath. The sudden disappearance of the maid made the lady realize that something was wrong, so she boldly sued her. So the countess's secret was revealed. The king who had a relationship with her could not protect her, but he was not willing to take her life, so he ordered her to be locked up in the underground hall, never to see the sun for a lifetime. Before long, she starved to death. This is the end of the matter. But her beauty is still talked about by people, and this ancient castle has not been abandoned, but has been preserved until now. "

Jiang Ying listened and gave a long breath, "so, does the underground hall still exist? Is there anything she used in this castle? Or her portrait or something? "

The housekeeper shook his head. "The underground hall has long been filled up by the owner who bought it later. So we can't see it. But the castle does have things she used. There are also portraits. Because I think it's unlucky, I sealed all her things in a room on the third floor. "

"Now I think of a room on the third floor that I've never been in." Qiao Yiping said suddenly.

Jiang Ying took a look at him, stood up and said to the housekeeper, "now please take us to have a look."

"Good. Please follow me The housekeeper also stood up and took the lead to go upstairs.

Qiao Yiping also helped Jiang Ying to go upstairs.

Finally, they stood in front of a room with a big lock at the bottom of the aisle on the third floor.

The housekeeper took a bunch of keys from his waist, found one, poked it into the keyhole, turned it and opened the door.

Jiang Ying and Qiao Yiping were almost choked out of breath.

Qiao Yiping quickly dragged her to the window of the corridor to stand and let her breathe fresh air.

The housekeeper said calmly, "you wait here. I'll go and open the window inside for air."

Then he walked over.

Jiang Ying felt a little more comfortable. Then he said uneasily, "how long has the room been closed? How could it smell like that? "

"I don't know. I think the housekeeper is going to take over and seal up the room. " Qiao Yiping said doubtfully.

Jiang Ying looked at Qiao Yiping carefully. It seemed that he was also very upset, and his face was also full of surprise. He didn't pretend at all, so his heart was inexplicably uneasy.

At this time, the housekeeper came out and told them to go in.

Qiao Yiping helped her to walk in behind the housekeeper.

There are a lot of things in it, such as the dresser, chair, big Chuang, desk and so on.

In the corner of the East and the west, there are several paintings.

The paintings were covered with white cloth, and the contents could not be seen.

It must be the portrait of the countess?

"Let's go there and have a look!" Jiang Ying's strong curiosity was highly aroused, and he was impatient to see the countess who made men all over the country adore and women envy.

"Good." Qiao Yiping nodded, helped her to a distance of two or three meters in front of the portrait, stopped and said, "you stand here first! There's a thick layer of ash on that white cloth. I'll choke you when I take it away. "

Jiang Ying listened and quickly put his hand over his mouth.

Qiao Yiping saw that she covered her mouth. Then he came forward and gently opened the white cloth which was almost an inch thick.

The dust rustles and falls, dancing happily in the light and shadow, like rebirth in blood.

Jiang Ying fixed his eyes and saw that they were all lifelike portraits.

The woman in the painting has white and tender skin, beautiful and soft body. Her eyes are big and bright, her nose is delicate and tall, her lips are thin and thick, and she opens slightly, revealing a few crystal white teeth, as if inviting people to taste them. She is very attractive and bewildered.

She is really beautiful. Even after so many years, judging from Jiang Ying's extremely critical aesthetic, she has to admit that the bloody Countess is indeed a city and a country.

She is not only beautiful, the most beautiful and strange place belongs to her eyes.

Her eyes are charming and charming. When you look at them, they give people the illusion that all her attention is focused on you, as if you are the only one in her heart.

Even as a woman, Jiang Ying has a feeling of heart beating. What's more, what about those men who only talk by body?
