"What are you here for?"

After a moment of silence, Xiang Yuan broke the atmosphere that seemed a little awkward at first.

"For yourself. ”

Rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, revealing a piece of skin with plaster, after Zhao Jihong uncovered the plaster, a very strange smell immediately burrowed into Xiang Yuan's nose.

Looking at the black-red rotten meat on Zhao Jihong's arm, Xiang Yuan's eyebrows moved slightly: "This is ......"

"Demon poison.

Because he collided with a member of the family, he was planted with demon poison.

For six years, every three days, this demon poison would spread all over my body, making me feel like I was being eaten by thousands of ants, and I was in pain.

Zhao Xian promised me that after the matter was completed, he would help me relieve this boundless suffering, so I came. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jihong also came to cooperate with Brother Zhao Xian to complete this strange and dangerous assessment because of demon poison.

Xiang Yuan bowed slightly: "In this way, we can be regarded as sympathetic to the same disease." ”

"Oh, you also have demon poison on your body?" Zhao Jihong, who knew how painful the demon poison attack was, looked at Xiang Yuan's eyes and began to soften.

"Luckier than you, the demon poison in me doesn't hurt much. Walking to the window of the corridor and looking at the empty street downstairs, Xiang Yuan said in a low tone:

"But as far as I know, it's a terrible demon. ”

"Yes, it's all the family's fault. ”

The slender eyes were full of hatred, and the pain of the past six years had already dyed Zhao Jihong's heart into a deep pool full of resentment.

It's just that the disciples of the family are high up and hold the terrifying power that ordinary people can only look up to.

No matter how resentful she was, she could only grit her teeth and endure it, and there was no way to put it into action.

"yes, they're all goddamn bastards indeed. His eyes narrowed slightly, remembering that when he was a child, he was used as a bait by the brothers of the family and almost killed the mouth of the tiger demon.

Xiang Yuan's hands were forced, and he unconsciously pinched the window in his hand into powder.

"You two, what are you doing?"

Zhao Gui, who suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs, was holding a piece of burnt yellow dry cake in his hand.

A pair of inverted eyes looked at Xiang Yuan and Zhao Jihong back and forth, as if they were monitoring the two.

"It's nothing, it's just a chat. He walked in front of Zhao Gui.

Xiang Yuan is burly, and although Zhao Gui is fat, he still looks much petite compared to a big man like Xiang Yuan.

Looking down at Zhao Gui in front of him, Xiang Yuan did not grovel to the two Zhao Xian brothers because of the demon poison antidote.

First, he didn't know if the two brothers had an antidote to the demon poison in their hands.

Second, Xiang Yuan also understands that once he shows weakness, the two brothers will definitely play with their lives, and now they are tougher, but they can still take some of the initiative.

Raised his head slightly and looked at Xiang Yuan, and after a while, Zhao Gui snorted coldly, didn't say anything, and turned around and went downstairs.

I don't know if I don't want to conflict with Xiang Yuan at this juncture, or because of some other reason.

Zhao Gui left, Xiang Yuan and Zhao Jihong looked at each other and smiled.

After a few simple words of chatting, the two people who had also been persecuted by the disciples of the family knew a lot invisibly.

In the dry waiting, time passed little by little.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the originally empty and lonely Linquan City, because of the departure of the sun, darkness poured into the streets, and a more gloomy atmosphere began to rise and flutter in the corners of the entire Linquan City.

As night fell, the group, who had already been waiting a little anxiously, walked out of the inn where they were resting and walked towards the mansion they had been to during the day.

Walking in a deserted street without even a lantern.

Except for the rustle of a few people walking, the whole city, not even a cat or dog bite can be heard, and the silence is creepy.

He took out a piece of cowhide from his arms and wrapped it around his hand, unable to determine what he would face later, Xiang Yuan could only try his best to adjust his state, hoping that there would not be any unmanageable danger for a while.

The distance between the front and back was less than 600 meters, and the few people walked for a few minutes before it ended.

It looks more eerie than the day, and every shadow corner is dark and terrifying.

Zhao Xian and Zhao Gui brothers glanced at each other, stepped forward and pulled off the copper lock on the door, and then pushed open the door of the house in a creaking sound that made people's scalps tingle.

As soon as the door of the house was pushed open, a small yin wind rose up in front of the house, blowing towards the group of people standing in front of the door!

The wind is biting, blowing head-on.

made a big man like Xiang Yuan shudder.

Not to mention that a thin young man like a round-faced scholar was blown by this little wind, and his already sallow little face directly became pale.

"Let's go inside. ”

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Xian bit the hosta in his mouth and took the lead into this mansion that revealed unusual and gloomy everywhere.

In the front yard and back room, after entering the house, there are about more than 100 ordinary small courtyards presented in front of the group.

Perhaps because it has not been inhabited for a long time, the corners of the yard are overgrown with weeds half a meter high.

A pool in the southwest corner of the courtyard was also covered with green moss.

Looking up at the hazy moonlight overhead, Zhao Xian's lips squirmed, and he didn't know what he was muttering.

In the empty yard, you can see it all at a glance.

So after just looking around a few times, the group set their eyes on the courtyard with the gate closed.

The scale of this house is not large, in addition to the courtyard in front of the court, there are two wings on the east and west sides, and the main entrance courtyard seems to have a second floor.

"Zhao Jihong, you and Liu Ming go to the west wing to have a look, and if you find anything abnormal, call us immediately.

Xiang Yuan, you go to the second floor to have a look. ”

Seeing that Zhao Xian arranged for himself to go to the second floor of the main gate courtyard alone, Xiang Yuan's face was slightly gloomy, it was not a good errand to act alone in this environment.

But Zhao Xian didn't have much concern about his safety.

After the order, he and Zhao Gui walked towards the east wing room.

The Zhao Xian brothers went to the east wing, and Zhao Jihong and the round-faced scholar Liu Ming went to the west wing.

Xiang Yuan, who had to act alone, looked up at the main entrance courtyard in front of him.

"Be careful. ”

When he missed Xiang Yuan's side, Zhao Jihong reminded Xiang Yuan in a low voice.

Compared with the Zhao Xian brothers and the weak scholar Liu Ming, who he hated, Zhao Jihong already had a feeling similar to a friend for Xiang Yuan.

"The same goes for you. His eyes circled on Liu Ming, a scholar beside Zhao Jihong.

Xiang Yuan's meaning is obviously saying that although Zhao Jihong is two people together, Liu Ming's combat power is basically negligible, but at a critical moment, he may be able to be a human shield.

After reminding each other, Xiang Yuan restrained the smile on his face and walked towards the main entrance courtyard in front of him.

"Locked from the inside?" walked to the door and pushed the door of the courtyard room, and the latch that was stubbornly resisting from the inside made the door of the courtyard unable to be pushed open.

The hand slowly strengthened, and Xiang Yuan looked vigilant.

As the force in his hand grew, the latch of the door to the door of the inpatient room clicked with a crisp sound, and then fell weakly.

The latch was squeezed open, and the door slowly opened on its own.

Looking at the dark courtyard hall, Xiang Yuan groped and took out a fire fold from his arms, and walked into the hall with the help of the fire fold shaking firelight.

In the musty hall, the chairs that should have been neatly placed fell to the ground crookedly.

The whole interior of the house, as if it had been blown by a strong wind, was messy and dilapidated.

Carefully pay attention to the surroundings, although there are martial arts and equipment, body protection.

But in the face of the strange environment at this moment, Xiang Yuan still maintained a hundred and twenty percent vigilance, and did not dare to relax a little.

After searching the entire hall and finding nothing unusual, Xiang Yuan walked to the back of the hall and found the stairs leading to the second floor.

Crunch, squeak

Stepping on the stairs that made constant noises, the hairs on the back of Xiang Yuan's back stood up, and with the faint light of the fire fold, he was vigilant to the top of the dark stairs with all his eyes.

Suddenly!

In the bright yellow firelight, a face with its mouth opened wide to the extreme, causing its entire face to become distorted and deformed, appeared in front of Xiang Yuan.

His heart beat twice, and Xiang Yuan's scalp was numb, and he almost activated the green zombie body directly.

He's dead?

Seeing that this distorted and terrifying face actually came from a corpse that had lost its breath of life, beads of sweat rolled down Xiang Yuan's forehead, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

On the second floor, in the empty attic on the second floor, there were corpses lying at the top of the stairs in several corners.

The face was hideously twisted, as if he had died of extreme fear!

Holding the fire fold and walking around the second floor, apart from these strange corpses, Xiang Yuan did not find anything unusual.

Let's go down first.

Feeling a cold aura surrounding him, Xiang Yuan shook his shoulders, turned around and was just about to go downstairs.

Suddenly

A clammy liquid dripped onto the fire fold in his hand.

Laugh at!

Green smoke rose, and the fire was extinguished by the drop.

And at the moment when the firelight completely disappeared, a face with blue eyes, a face full of throbbing green tendons, and a stiff face suddenly appeared in front of Xiang Yuan.

......

Rumble!

The east and west wings heard this loud noise at the same time.

Brother Zhao Xian and Zhao Jihong quickly rushed out of the chamber.

By the time they arrived in the courtyard of the main entrance, a black shadow had smashed the door panel of the main hall and popped out of the room, rolling in the courtyard several times.

Xiang Yuan, who was covered in dust, got up from the ground with palpitations on his face.

At the moment when the fire folds out and grimaces appear.

He immediately activated the green zombie body, directly smashed the floor on the second floor, fell to the first floor, and then quickly lifted the green zombie body and escaped from the courtyard.

"What's wrong, it's okay. Hurriedly walked to Xiang Yuan's side, looking at Xiang Yuan with a shocked face, Zhao Jihong hurriedly asked.

"It's fine. Patting the dust on his head, Xiang Yuan looked solemnly at the courtyard hall.

In his sight, a rickety figure was slowly walking out of the dark room!

"Then, find an opportunity to insert it into its back!" Staring at the shadow that came out of the courtyard, Zhao Xian and Zhao Gui's faces were not afraid, but showed a little excitement and expectation.

threw two black and green iron nails that were impregnated with something to Xiang Yuan and Zhao Jihong.

Zhao Xian said as he took off the hosta in his mouth and put on a posture ready to fight.

......
