Chapter 14: The Fog of the Black Room
The meals at the banquet were all cooked by first-class cooks, and the taste was delicious and unique, and Mengyou Heavenly Master and Li Tianqi were naturally unceremonious and feasted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the accompanying staff are always kind and pleasant, and they are very polite to the two. Even the housekeeper couldn't get on the table to eat a few bites, which made the housekeeper feel sad in his heart.
At night, the courtyard of the house is brightly lit and full of people, and the male and female servants are building the platform.
The butler and the Dream Celestial Master whispered in a secluded corner. Li Tianqi was left aside, feeling idle and fine, so he walked around. He didn't know how wide the mansion was, so he didn't pay special attention to the road, just walked around, but gradually lost his way in the huge mansion, and couldn't find the way back to the courtyard, and at this time many servants were busy working in the courtyard, although Li Tianqi was secretly anxious, but he couldn't find a servant to question.
A gust of wind blew in the face, with the sound of some doors and windows closing, which made Li Tianqi, who was anxiously looking for the road, suddenly think of the ghostly thing, and his heart was still secretly a little hairy, but fortunately, there were lanterns hanging every few meters on the corridor, and it was not dark. He walked down the corridor to the end, and there was a garden in front of him, as if he had already walked through, but he was not sure.
Li Tianqi hesitated and felt wrong, and just wanted to turn around and retreat from the original way, but faintly heard crying. He flipped the straw rope necklace out. Ever since he heard the story of the snake demon who had turned into a beautiful woman in that cave, he had been pondering the stone, but after looking at it repeatedly, he found nothing special.
Since Li Tianqi remembers, this stone has been with him, other children are wearing gold and silver locks, even if the poor ones are copper locks and the like, but he wears a stone, and he is often teased when playing with his friends, he also asked his mother, but his mother did not talk about the origin of this stone, but told him to wear it all the time.
Li Tianqi hadn't learned any self-defense kung fu, and of course he didn't have the ability to catch demons, but in this quiet mansion, he suddenly heard a cry, and naturally used this stone as a talisman to strengthen his courage.
After thinking about it for a while, although he was just a teenager, his innate bravery and righteousness still made Li Tianqi decide to follow the crying to take a look.
Walking through the garden, he was presented with an iron gate, made of iron branches, on which a large lock hung on, and through the iron railing, he could see a dark forest not far away, and the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the sound was frightening. The cry came from outside the door, faintly, it was a girl's voice.
Li Tianqi stretched out his hand and touched the lock, the lock was made of pig iron, thick and strong, he hurriedly went to the ground to find if he could find some objects that could open the iron lock, so he put the lock down, and with a bang, the cry disappeared suddenly.
Li Tianqi suddenly found that a black wooden stick stretched out on the edge of a flower bush, he grabbed the wooden stick and felt a little heavy, and pulled it out, it turned out to be a shovel, which should be a tool for the flower garden workers, Li Tianqi quickly took it over, and struggled to pry open the iron lock, the iron lock fell to the ground, and the iron door was moved away.
Li Tianqi held the shovel in both hands and walked out boldly, the wind here was even colder, and he couldn't help but shiver, but when he walked out of the garden gate, he found a house made of wooden planks, and there was no light in the dark room. It doesn't sound like there's any movement.
Is this the Black House? The scene of Xiao Yan being punished flashed in Li Tianqi's mind.
He slowly stepped forward and pushed the wooden door, which was locked, but something was blocked behind the door, so it must have been bolted. Li Tianqi thought so.
"Who?" A girl's trembling voice suddenly came from inside the room.
I didn't think that someone inside would suddenly speak, and when he was caught off guard, Li Tianqi couldn't talk for a while.
"Little ...... Xiaohong, is that you? Don't scare me. The girl's voice became panicked.
Li Tianqi heard the voice of a little girl: "I, I, the demon catcher." ”
A pair of eyes suddenly appeared in the crack of the door to look out, and after a while, the wooden door opened after a crackling sound in the room.
Li Tianqi clenched the shovel and saw a little girl poking her head out of the house, it was Xiao Yan, wiping her tears.
"Little fairy, come in." Xiao Yan whispered, and then looked around alertly.
Li Tianqi took a shovel and stepped into the wooden house.
Xiao Yan hurriedly closed the wooden door, and then moved some wood and boxes and other things to resist the wooden door.
Although it was dark in the room, he could still feel the breath of Xiao Yan. Li Tianqi didn't expect Xiao Yan to close the door, at this time he was already red-faced, except for living with his mother, he had never been alone with the girl, Xiao Yan was the same age as himself, but after all, he was also a girl, which made him feel at a loss, but fortunately, the darkness helped him hide the shyness. He put the shovel down.
Xiao Yan didn't notice the panic in Li Tianqi's heart, and asked softly, "Little Immortal, why are you here?" ”
"I ......," Li Tianqi said, "They were building a platform, and I was wandering around, and it ended up here." ”
"Oh." Xiao Yan asked, "Little Immortal, what do you call you?" ”
"Don't always call me a little fairy, my name is Li Tianqi."
Li ...... Apocalypse. Xiao Yan repeated.
"Your name is Xiaoyan." Li Tianqi asked.
"Well, that's what they called me. Apocalypse ...... Brother, can I call you that? ”
"Absolutely. Xiao Yan, this is the black house mentioned by the old man, right? ”
"Well, the maids will be punished for their mistakes and will be locked up in the dark room, and the valets will be whipped, and these things have happened since a few months ago." Xiao Yan said aggrievedly, "It wasn't like this before. ”
"Oh?"
"Ever since the old man came back, this place has begun to change, alas...... Poor ......."
"What's wrong?" Li Tianqi had already heard Xiao Yan's tone in the dark, and gradually became sad. Sure enough, Xiao Yan began to sobble again.
"Xiaoyan, don't be sad, what's going on? Talk to Brother Apocalypse. Li Tianqi comforted.
Before the words fell, Li Tianqi felt that he was being held by a cold hand. "Brother Apocalypse, come and sit down, I'll listen to you."
Li Tianqi and Xiao Yan walked a few steps into the house, their eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness in the room, and they could vaguely see that there was a big bed, a small table and two wooden stools in the room. Li Tianqi's face became even hotter.
The two sat down next to each other at the table. Xiao Yan gradually stopped sobbing.
"Xiaohong was also punished here for the last two months, but in the end, I never saw her again." Xiao Yan wiped away tears.
"Listen to the housekeeper, Xiaohong is missing." Li Tianqi remembered what the housekeeper had said.
"It's so strange that a good guy has disappeared." Xiao Yan cried, "At first, I thought I had escaped from here, but I stumbled upon Xiaohong's most cherished bracelet. ”
"Could it be that she left in a hurry and forgot to take it?"
"No, she regards this bracelet as the root of her life, and she also said that if her life is lost, the bracelet cannot be lost, and she has been wearing it on her wrist, if there is no accident, she will not lose it." Xiao Yan took out a bracelet from his arms and put it on the table.
"Little fairy, Brother Apocalypse, please help find Xiaohong." Xiao Yan knelt on the ground as she spoke, "In the dark, I feel like she's nearby." But I'm scared too, I'm scared she's ......."
"Xiaoyan." Li Tianqi hurriedly got up and helped her up and sat down, "Don't worry. ”
"I promise you, my master and I will help you find it. You can rest assured. Li Tianqi said.
"Your master? Is that the old Heavenly Master? Xiao Yan asked.
"yes, yes. Master is very capable, he will definitely be able to find Xiaohong. Li Tianqi said.
"Thank you, Brother Apocalypse." Xiao Yan stood up and saluted.
"Don't thank you for now, sit down. Is there anything strange here? Li Tianqi asked, "Is there really a ghost?" ”
"I've never seen that. It's just that for a few nights, the staff always shouted in the middle of the night, saying that there were ghosts, which made people panic. Some servants said they had seen it, and it spread. ”
"More than two months after Xiaohong's disappearance, I have seen the Heavenly Master and the housekeeper walking together a few times to discuss something. Then the housekeeper also invited a few Taoist monks to do something or something. The clerk also gave a lot of money to the housekeeper. Xiao Yan wiped away her tears and regained her composure.
"Oh, no wonder the master is so familiar with the housekeeper, it turns out that he has known each other for a long time." Li Tianqi said.
"But I haven't seen the Heavenly Master before, that is, a few months ago, some changes began to change here, and then I occasionally saw the Heavenly Master and the housekeeper have dealings." Xiao Yan said.
"That's ......," Li Tianqi nodded thoughtfully.
"In vain!" Suddenly, I heard the voice of the Dream Shadow Heavenly Master from the courtyard.
"Xiao Yan, I'm going out. You take care of yourself. Li Tianqi hurriedly got up, "Don't worry, what I promised you, I will definitely do it." ”
"Thank you, Brother Apocalypse." Xiao Yan stood up and gave a salute again.
The two hurriedly pushed away the wooden box and wooden blocks, Li Tianqi picked up the shovel and walked out, and turned his head again, "Xiao Yan, don't cry." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Yan nodded, closed the wooden door, and re-topped it with a heavy object.
"In vain! Where are you? Another call.
"Master, I'm here!"
"Where?"
Li Tianqi just wanted to tell the truth, but suddenly found that a few servants came behind Mengyou Heavenly Master, for fear that others would see him and Xiao Yan in the small black room, and if he said it, he would ruin Xiao Yan's reputation, so he lied in desperation, "My stomach hurts." ”
When the Dream Heavenly Master heard this, he shouted angrily: "My stomach hurts and I go to the thatched house, what are you doing in this back garden with a shovel?" Dig a pit? ”
"This house occupies a large area, and I got lost when I walked around, and I couldn't find the thatched house."
"Oh...... Don't say it, let's go, come with the teacher, and get ready to start doing. Apprentice, you know what? After doing it this time, it will make a lot of money again. ”
"Congratulations Master, congratulations Master, you have made a lot of money again."
"Go, you kid."
The two turned and walked in the direction of the courtyard, and the servants behind them followed them at a brisk pace.
In the small dark room, Xiao Yan silently looked at the bracelet on the table, and continued to fall into his thoughts again......
