Chapter Thirty-Six: The Strange Winner
"The qi and blood are vigorous, and the spirit is about to reach fullness, and it seems that it can light up a magical power again. ”
Yang Changan finished his work and muttered to himself.
"Young Master!" At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the door, but it was Yingwu who came back.
Chirping!
The door opened.
"Brother Wu, how's the situation?"
"Most of the entire county has been searched, but no clues and suspicious people have been found, Xiao Fang and they are still searching the city, and I will come back to escort the young master to the winner's banquet. ”
Eagle shook her head in disappointment.
"Going to the banquet?" Yang Changan looked out of the door, slightly stunned, "It turns out that it is already dark, I didn't expect to practice for a day in a flash, since this is the case, then let's go to the banquet." ”
The two went out and plunged into the night.
The winner is at the very end of the eastern part of the city, with the Blackwood Mountain in the back.
At this time, Yang Changan and Ying Wu had already arrived in front of the winner's mansion.
"Young master, such a big mansion, why don't you even have a guard in front ......of the door?
Ying Wu was surprised, and a hint of weirdness appeared on his face.
The winner's mansion covers a wide area, stretching out for a hundred meters, but there is no light flowing out of the entire mansion, not even the lantern in front of the gate is not lit, and only the faint outline of the mansion can be seen with the help of the sparse moonlight.
It is very quaint and old, as if it was left over from antiquity.
In addition, with the back of the Black Wood Mountain, it is even more gloomy, and at a glance, the whole mansion is very dim and dead, like a huge lonely tomb.
"This winner is quite strange, I have been in Fuyuan County for four years, and I have never seen the door of a winner open. However, whenever there is a drought, flood, plague and other natural disasters, the winner's gate will be full of food and money, which are used by the winner for disaster relief, so the people of the city are grateful to Dade, and the winner has a good reputation in the city. ”
Yang Changan looked at this dim mansion, and his heart was actually a little hairy, this winner was really weird, but under the magic power, there was nothing abnormal in the whole mansion.
After a pause, he said, "Brother Wu, you go and knock on the door, knock three times, and then come back and wait." ”
"Yes, young master. ”
Ying Wu went to the gate, picked up the iron ring, and knocked on it, and the sound was very dull, not loud at all, as if it had been knocked on the wood that had been soaked for a long time.
He frowned immediately, and turned around and said, "Young Master, this voice is too small, this mansion is so big, can the people of this winner hear it?"
"It's okay, just knock two more times. ”
Yang Changan was actually playing drums in his heart, and the sound of knocking on the door was not as loud as the two of them talking, and it was completely covered up in this night when the wind was roaring.
But I heard from the rest of the city that all you have to do is knock three times and wait, and someone will open the door.
Yingwu frowned, knocked twice again, and it will come.
Await!
Await!
Hundreds of breaths passed, and the door was still silent, without a sound.
Quiet Night!
Even the wind calmed down.
The wind stopped, but the two people standing in front of the winner's mansion seemed to be even colder.
Ying Wu's eyes were cold, and he said: "Young master, you are the county order, this winner doesn't send someone out to greet him, he actually puts on a score, I'll push the door." ”
Obviously, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Even Yang Changan frowned, which one does this winner want to sing?
Just as Yingwu walked to the door, the door ......"squeaked", and the sound was very long, as if the erhu was pulling strings, and suddenly opened.
Strangely, the door opened inside, but no one pulled the door inside.
Ying Wu raised his eyebrows, the hair in his heart for no reason, took a deep breath, turned around and said, "Young Master, this door opens automatically, let's go in." ”
After speaking, he turned around, but his body immediately trembled, his face changed, and he suddenly took a step back, and exclaimed, "You ......"
I don't know when, there was a person standing inside the gate, a rickety old man, hunched over, clubbing, his eyes were blank, the whites of his eyes were mostly exposed, and the corpse spots on his face were clearly visible in the blurred moonlight.
"Come, sir... yes, please... In, mother-in-law... Already waiting... It's been a long time!" The old man didn't pay attention to Yingwu, but looked at Yang Changan behind him, and said in a hoarse voice, which was extremely weak, like a candle in the wind, and people couldn't help but worry about whether he would be interrupted and never continued.
"Good. ”
Yang Changan nodded.
"Slow, you can't go in. ”
The old man stopped Ying Wu and said suddenly.
"I can't get in?"
Ying Wu was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "I am the escort of the adults, and I want to protect his safety, why can't I enter?
"You can afford it! Tonight's banquet is only for adults, you...... Not yet eligible. ”
The old man's short two sentences are no longer hoarse, but full of an inexplicable fierceness, giving people an irresistible meaning.
“......”
Yingwu's face directly cooled down.
"My lord, please come with me. ”
The old man didn't look at Ying Wu from beginning to end, and at this time, he walked on crutches, and in a posture that seemed to fall in the next second, he staggered ahead and led the way.
Yang Changan's eyes were slightly condensed, he glanced at the old man's back, and then said to Yingwu: "Brother Wu, you can wait for me outside." ”
"Young master, I released my internal qi to sense the surroundings of the gate before, and there was obviously no one, but the old man suddenly appeared, like a ghost, and came silently. You must be careful when you go in, and if something is wrong, shout and I will kill you in immediately. ”
Ying Wu said coldly, with a solemn face.
"You didn't even notice it?"
Yang Changan's heart sank, and he nodded, "Hmm." ”
"My lord, follow me, don't get lost later. ”
A faint voice floated from within, seemingly faint, but ringing clearly in my ears.
This winner is extraordinary!
This is Yang Changan's eyes condensed and walked in.
Winner, inside the mansion.
"Uncle, why don't you light up here? ”
The eaves stretched out for a long time, covering the various rooms in the dark and terrible, only the sporadic moonlight brightened the ground by a minute, but when he looked down, it was full of weeds, I don't know how long he hadn't cleaned up, if he hadn't had the magic powers, he thought he had entered the haunted house.
But this house is better than a ghost house.
"Oh...... Everyone in the family is afraid of the light, so they don't order everything. ”
"Afraid of the light?"
Yang Chang'an looked inexplicable, and subconsciously looked around, especially ...... Keep looking back.
"My lord, it's here. ”
The old man smiled slightly, looked up at the slightly lit room in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was tired of walking.
But when Yang Changan saw the light, his pupils shrank, and the light did not have a trace of softness, but with extreme coldness, like a dark fire.
"Come, my lord. ”
Yang Changan paused, but saw the old man turn around and call him, his hair smoothed out, so he followed him and stepped into the room one after another.
When he saw the scene in front of him, his face changed.
There were five people sitting around a large worn-out round table, four of whom were white as frost and dressed in shrouds, staring at him at the moment......
