-------------------------------------------

Xiao Ran felt as if she was about to get lost in this treacherous fog.

I am obviously moving forward, but it seems to be walking on a long road with no end in sight.

The passage of time is so imperceptible in the absence of a frame of reference.

Back?

Or......

Xiao Ran started running.

Even though she was out of breath, she didn't want to stop.

The shoes kicked on the dirt, and there was not a sound coming.

The mist was so quiet that Xiao Ran could only hear his own wheezing and heartbeat.

Unconsciously, panic swam into my mind.

Just when Xiao Ran was about to hold on.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of her eyes!

After passing through a layer of barriers, Xiao Ran's vision suddenly became clearer.

"This ...... Impossible!" The sight in front of him made Xiao Ran's face pale, his lips trembled, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

Obviously, he has been moving along the dirt road, how can he return to the original starting point!

The familiar Datang in front of him seemed to be laughing at Xiao Ran's ridiculous struggle.

Xiao Ran's feet were soft and he sat on the loess pavement.

The treacherous fog that shrouded this Xiaojia Village was like a layer of enchantment, leaving Xiao Ran with nowhere to escape.

There seemed to be only one way left for her.

An ancient house where no crowds gather!

"Bang Bang!"

Xiao Ran patted his cheek hard, turning it red.

"Don't give up! Xiao Ran!" Xiao Ran said to himself to cheer himself up.

Or maybe it was his words that had an effect, Xiao Ran slowly got up from the ground with a firm look, step by step, and walked in the direction of the ancient mansion.

-------------------------------------------

When he came to the vicinity of the ancient mansion, Xiao Ran found that his trembling feet seemed to have taken root.

Xiao Ran hid in a corner covered by a fence wall.

His eyes were fixed on the unphased people who were coming in and out not far away, but his hands were unconsciously grasping the wooden fence.

The fingers are white because they are clenched too tightly.

The more I waited, the more fear grew in my heart.

Xiao Ran thought more than once about staying away from the ancient mansion.

But reason kept her here.

"Maybe there is a clue in the ancient house why Xiaojia Village has become like this......

Just when Xiao Ran was thinking like this.

Suddenly, a figure passed by Xiao Ran's side!

It's a phaseless person!

Xiao Ran was suddenly frightened and almost screamed!

As soon as his feet and legs were weak, Xiao Ran's whole person involuntarily leaned against the fence.

The rough branches of the fence pierced Xiao Ran's arm.

However, the faceless man didn't seem to see Xiao Ran, so he walked straight towards the ancient mansion.

"En?" Xiao Ran thought he was finished, but he didn't expect to be lucky enough to survive.

'Hmm! it hurts!' Xiao Ran, whose heart had settled down a little, only then did he notice his injury.

'It's all bleeding!'

The blood that flowed from the wound stained the arms red.

Fortunately, the injury was not very serious, even if Xiao Ran did not have a hemostatic tool to treat the wound, the wound would scab over itself after a while to stop the bleeding.

After Xiao Ran saw that there was no sign of bleeding from the wound again, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Since the Phaseless Man can't see me, then I can sneak in as long as I am careful!" Xiao Ran thought.

Taking a few deep breaths, Xiao Ran adjusted his breath and slowly approached the ancient mansion, ready to dive in.

The phaseless people who went in and out around the ancient mansion were like ordinary puppets, and they turned a blind eye to Xiao Ran, who was close at hand.

The performance of the unphased person also made Xiao Ran's hanging heart relax.

But the mutation, the moment Xiao Ran's feet stepped into the courtyard of the ancient mansion, happened again!

-------------------------------------------

It was as if he had passed through an invisible barrier, and the ancient mansion in front of Xiao Ran had completely changed its image!

The humble old mansion, which was originally unpretentious and dull in color, suddenly became a richly decorated and colorful mansion!

Even the sky has faded to gray, and the sun is shining brightly!

'How could it be ......' Xiao Ran couldn't help but change his face, and was shocked by the huge change in front of him.

"Hey, what a handsome girl. ”

Hearing the sudden voice behind her, Xiao Ran turned around suddenly, only to see a middle-aged woman standing beside her with a red candle.

The one who spoke was the third aunt who Xiao Ran wanted to go to say hello!

In this space, she was actually restored to her original state, and she was looking at Xiao Ran curiously.

"Female doll, are you also here to celebrate Lord Xiao Hua's birthday?" the third aunt asked gently.

"Huh?" Xiao Ran was still in shock, and at this time he was suddenly asked, and he didn't think much about it, but just responded with a smile: "En......"

"Now the little doll, why don't you know the ...... of bringing congratulatory gifts when you come to celebrate your birthday?"

Xiao Ran chuckled in his heart, and stammered back: "Because, because it's too hasty...... So, so forgot about ......"

"Forget it, I'll give you one. The third aunt kindly handed a red candle to Xiao Ran.

"You can't be so reckless here, make Lord Xiao Hua angry, but it's not a big deal. The third aunt chattered a few words to Xiao Ran, then bypassed her, walked to the side of the immortal candlestick, and inserted the red candles in the bamboo strips in her hand on the candlestick one by one.

The red candle was inserted into the golden candlestick, and it was lit out of thin air!

The many red candles formed a raging flame, but they eerily emitted a cold light.

Xiao Ran just glanced at this treacherous immortal candlestick, and without hesitation, he gave up the idea of offering the red candle in his hand.

At this time, the villagers who had completed the offering entered the high hall, and they all knelt on the ground, and in front of them a young woman dressed in beautiful clothes sat on a high-backed wooden chair in the center of the high hall.

She closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, seemingly unconcerned about the villagers in front of her.

And these villagers didn't say a word, and just fell to their knees.

The scene was terrifying.

Xiao Ran suddenly remembered at this time that when she was a child, her elders always warned her not to enter the second floor of the ancient mansion.

It is said that a woman once died on the second floor of the ancient mansion......

Referring to the scene in front of him, Xiao Ran also had some vague guesses in his heart.

Possible...... This young woman should be ......

Xiao Ran looked up at the second floor of the ancient mansion, but the light inside was too dim, and he couldn't see the contents clearly through the hollowing out of the wooden window.

As for the stairs up to the second floor, if Xiao Ran remembers correctly, it was at the back of the middle hall......

Quite a bit, Xiao Ran couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Because to enter the central hall, you have to go through the high hall!
