Chapter 168: Mysterious Bronze Mirror
The night came as scheduled.
Zhou Zhimiao still hasn't come back.
The large and quiet Nightshade Garden is like a huge tomb.
Both the living and the dead are buried together.
Imprison restless souls.
In the room, a red candle burned, and the orange flame flickered uneasily.
Li Ning, Lin Dong and Zhang Xu sat on the couch by the window, while Chu Xuan was in the room in the inner room.
The two sides are separated by a wall, or only one door is separated, and no matter what movement is heard, it can be heard clearly.
Li Ning leaned on the couch, his right index finger picked the black cat, but his eyes were always focused on the room of Wu Qingshan and the others.
Unlike himself and the others, the room of these four people was pitch black, without any lights, as if they were asleep.
This made him feel very strange, why did these four people sleep so early when it had only been dark for a long time.
The room was even quieter, and there was no movement at all.
"Isn't Ning Shao resting?" Lin Dong was busy all day, and his injuries had not healed, so he was a little tired.
"I'll come first for the vigil, and you will sleep when you are sleepy, and then I will call you when I want to rest." Li Ning turned his face to look at Zhang Xu, who was already asleep, and replied to him.
"That's fine. Lin Dong nodded.
It's not hypocritical.
Immediately leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes.
Not for a while.
The sound of sound sleep sounded.
Only Li Ning was still awake in the outhouse.
As for whether Chu Xuan was asleep or not, he didn't know, after all, there was a door separated by a door, and he couldn't see it.
In the faint light of the fire, the darkness is like the tide that rises from time to time.
As the flames shake, they come close from time to time, and from time to time they move away.
The cat was originally a nocturnal animal, but at this moment it also opened its mouth and yawned, revealing its pink and prickly little tongue.
Li Ning stretched out his right hand to stroke its somewhat rough hair, and it didn't take long for the black cat to squint its eyes and curl up into a ball, like a plush black ball the size of a bowl.
Little by little, time passed.
The middle of the moon.
Rich and hazy moonlight poured down.
The whole earth seemed to be covered with a veil of silver.
Time is mottled.
Add a touch of mystery.
The whole night garden is very quiet.
It's like a village where dead bodies are parked.
It's late at night.
Li Ning felt sleepy.
It's as if there's an invisible hand messing with your brain.
The brain turned into a mess, which was very bad, and the whole person couldn't lift up and was drowsy.
I wanted to wake Lin Dong up, but his left hand was already stretched out, and he was about to touch the other party's nose.
But in a daze, he found that a bewitching figure walked out of Chu Xuan's room quietly.
All the way to the side of the couch.
in front of him.
Capture your own remaining attention.
Then, Li Ning really couldn't hold on, his eyes were closed, like a heavy city gate closed, and he couldn't open it again.
His left hand was only an inch away from Lin Dong, but he hung to the side weakly.
I don't know how long it has been.
- Babbling.
Li Ning heard some movement outside and immediately opened his eyes.
As far as the eye can see, it is still a dim outhouse, and most of the red candles in front of the table have been burned.
The melted candles gathered into a ball below, as if Zhang Jia's deformed hand had died, and it made people feel uncomfortable to look at.
Lin Dong and Zhang Xu are still asleep.
However, the door on the right has opened somehow.
The firelight from here barely poured into the inside.
The darkness of the inner room kept creeping.
It's like a big mouth of blood waiting to be swallowed.
"Chu Xuan?" Li Ning turned over and lay on the couch, walked to the door, and called softly.
However, after a few seconds, there was no answer.
He hesitated, then stepped into it, on the edge of light and darkness.
looked towards the soft bed and found that the futon had been lifted, but Chu Xuan's delicate body had disappeared.
People are gone?
Where will it go?
Li Ning squinted his eyes slightly, looked around, and found that the furnishings in the house were the same as before, even the windows were closed.
There were no signs of an outsider breaking in.
But Chu Xuan couldn't disappear quietly.
Still, for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.
This night is really quiet.
There was no insect chirp at all.
Obviously, it is close to the Black Forest, and there are many plants, so it stands to reason that there should be the most snakes, insects, rats and ants at night.
But there was a dead silence.
Except for the sound of your own powerful heartbeat.
There was only Lin Dong's faint snoring outside.
Da Da Da –
He came to the foreign object.
Step into the couch.
"Hey—wake up!" Li Ning reached out and patted Lin Dong and Zhang Xu on the shoulders.
"Hmm-" Lin Dong was the first to react, opened his eyes, and looked at him with sleepy eyes.
"Shifts?" Zhang Xu looked like he hadn't woken up yet, his eyes glazed.
Chu Xuan was gone, so she quickly got up and went outside to look for it. Li Ning reminded softly.
"What?, Chu Xuan is gone?" Lin Dong suddenly fell asleep when he heard this.
"Huh?" Zhang Xu was stunned and finally woke up.
"Hurry up, you two go together on the left and look for it along the corridor, and I'll go to the inner courtyard. After Li Ning finished speaking, he opened the door and walked outside.
Wait until you pass by and open the window.
The body is in shape.
I don't know why, I always feel like something is missing.
After a closer look at the side face, I suddenly realized that the black cat was gone!
From the moment he woke up, the black cat in front of the window was nowhere to be seen.
Obviously slept on top of his head before.
Thinking of this, his mind suddenly recalled the vague figure he had just seen before going to sleep.
guessed in his heart, maybe it was Chu Xuan.
That if that's the case.
This girl has been gone for a while.
Thinking of this, a sense of unease haunted my heart.
Li Ning was busy and quickened his pace and walked towards the inner courtyard.
The reason why I went to the inner courtyard was because the outer courtyard was not large, and there were corridors on one side and guest rooms on the left and right.
The guest room was occupied by the four members of the Wu family, so the possibility of Chu Xuan being there was very low, and the corridor could be seen at a glance.
Now, after all this time, she hasn't come back, and it is very likely that she is going to the inner courtyard or something like that.
The reason why Lin Dong and Zhang Xu stood together.
And not three people together.
That's because it's too inefficient.
Follow a secluded and straight corridor.
Li Ning suddenly remembered the mayor's house when he crossed for the first time.
A lot of ingenious things happen in the hallway.
Like what......
- Babbling.
Suddenly, a strange voice rang out.
Li Ning felt a little familiar, as if it was the sound of waking himself up.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white shadow flash through the arch.
It seems that someone walked by.
"Could it be Chu Xuan?" Li Ning's heart moved, and he hurriedly followed.
The other side.
In a corner of the inner courtyard.
"Are you sure that there will be no accidents with your Ecstasy?" Wu Qingfeng asked.
"Absolutely not, my ecstasy has reached a small level, and it is easy for a few people. Wu Yi nodded confidently.
"Do you feel it?" Wu Qingshan asked after the two of them finished speaking.
"It's faint, but if nothing else, it should be near the inner courtyard. Wu Qingfeng nodded.
"In that case, let's divide into two ways, and we must find the spirit weapon before dawn. Wu Qingshan nodded.
Immediately.
He took his little daughter and walked to the right.
Wu Qingfeng and Wu Yi glanced at each other and then followed the steps into the corridor.
The four men searched deep in the form of horns.
"Father, look, black cat!" Wu Ruan Rou pointed to the black cat squatting motionless on the eaves and staring at the two of them like a sculpture, and said.
"Bad luck. Wu Qingshan frowned.
"I'm going to get one when I get home. Wu Ruan Rou said seriously.
"It's up to you, but it's important now, no accident there must be a spiritual weapon in this night's garden. Wu Qingfeng waved his hand indifferently.
"Huh! there is a fluctuation of breath ahead!" Wu Ruanrou suddenly pointed to the closed room in front of her.
"You stay here, I'll go in and have a look. Wu Qingfeng's eyes lit up.
Could it be so smooth?
If only you could find it so quickly!
Then you can get out of here.
Immediately, he walked slowly to the door alone.
He raised his left hand and pressed it against the door, and with a click, the door slowly opened.
Moonlight poured into the room over Wu Qingshan's broad back.
The darkness that had been imprisoned seemed to be stirred by the current.
It started to shake.
Wu Qingfeng stepped into it, his eyes flashing with light, and he could see everything in the darkness clearly.
It seems to be a woman's boudoir.
Pink and cyan objects are placed everywhere.
A draped beaded curtain separates the bed from the outside.
Until this moment, Wu Qingshan finally felt a faint breath.
The aura guided his gaze to fall within the beaded curtain.
"Found it?" Wu Qingshan opened the bead curtain with a smile on the corner of his mouth and entered it.
Everything in bed was exactly the same as it was three months ago.
Messy futon lifted.
A few pieces crumpled up inside the profanity.
On the left is the bed.
On the right is a dressing table and a huge bronze mirror hanging from the wall.
In the bronze mirror, Wu Qingshan himself appeared, his figure was a little elongated, and he looked like a tall man.
Suddenly, from the bronze mirror, he could vaguely see that something seemed to be moving on the bed on the left.
I couldn't wait to look sideways, but I found that there was nothing extra on the bed.
But when I looked at the bronze mirror, I found that the thing had reappeared.
Wu Qingshan was extremely surprised.
I couldn't help but squint my eyes and take a closer look.
I saw that in the bronze mirror, on the bed on the left, a black thing was wriggling.
It looks like a woman's long hair.
And with the squirming of the long hair, a gray arm slowly stretched out from the inside.
Wu Qingshan's face changed, and he hurriedly looked towards the bed on the left side again, but found that there was nothing.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that he was dazzled, but subconsciously looked at the bronze mirror again.
only to find that another gray arm has appeared.
These hands are very slender and have distinct bones, like chicken feet.
Wu Qingfeng's face suddenly froze, and he hurriedly looked towards the bed again, but found that there was still nothing.
Puzzled, he looked at the bronze mirror again, and saw that the two hands on the bed were crawling deformedly, as if something was about to come out.
"There won't be a female ghost, right?" Wu Qingshan's mouth twitched.
"You guessed it!" suddenly came a cold answer from behind.
Wu Qingshan was startled, and hurriedly turned around to look, only to find that there was no one behind him.
It was as if the voice was just an illusion.
But just when he was relieved.
A pair of off-white arms climbed from the back to the shoulders.
A chill suddenly permeated his body.
He instinctively turned away.
only to find that the body had frozen.
Unable to move.
I watched as a miserable white woman's face slowly poked out of her left shoulder.
His eyes moved from the bottom of his eyes to the front of him with the trajectory of the other man.
The woman's pale face and hollow eyes stared straight at him.
Her blood-red lips were pursed, as thin as a blood-stained blade.
The corners of the mouth are slightly upturned.
Wu Qingshan's pupils shrank.
