There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and there was a sudden sound of violent footsteps outside, as if a person was hurrying in her direction.

Seeing that the sound of the knock was getting closer and closer, Ye Lin held back the fear that was about to erupt in his heart, calmed down, and quickly turned around and locked the door.

The moment she plugged the latch on, the man outside the door reached out and grabbed the doorknob, slammed the door open a narrow slit, and pushed the door back and forth, trying to break the latch.

Hurriedly stepped back, turning the lotus cup in her hand into a fan-shaped, she looked fixedly at the door that was being pulled back and forth, ready to use the Shuoyue blade the moment the person broke through the door, and let it die on the spot.

Although the inn had been abandoned for many years, it seemed that the facilities in the house were still durable, and the latches on the doors were so strong that even under the man's frantic movements, there was no sign of breaking.

Bang bang bang ...

The man seemed to find it difficult to break the door at all, and the attempt to break through the door came to an abrupt halt.

Ye Lin stared nervously at the crack in the door, lest something strange suddenly pop out.

Not long after, with a rush of footsteps, silence returned to the door.

Ye Lin exhaled and waited for a while before cautiously stepping forward to close the door, walking to the window illuminated by the moonlight, and pondering carefully.

Who is that guy outside the door?

It can't be Lu Xu, according to the memory of the original owner, he won't arrive until midnight, and now look at the moon outside. It's still hanging halfway up the mountain, and it should be a long time before midnight.

That group of thugs must not want to lie in this troubled water, since they want to take revenge on Lu Xu. It should be enough to lock the original owner Jiang Yelin in this rumored ghost mansion, and he can't risk his life to come in and do something to her.

Maybe this deserted house has been abandoned for a long time, and some homeless homeless people, or wild people in the mountains, come here to rub the place.

She shook her head, either the homeless people were dying. Either that, or they're emboldened, even if it's her, even if they let her sleep on the street. It's better than spending the night in this weird and scary place.

The sound came out of nowhere, the staircase was so old that it was impossible for anyone coming up from downstairs not to make a sound. It must have been someone who was originally on the second floor.

If not. Then it could only be a ghost who died in this building.

Ye Lin was frightened by this thought.

It's useless to be scared at this time. Now in addition to the worldly martial arts, she is the lotus cup obtained in the initial mission.

But are these things really useful to spirits? Ye Lin was a little upset.

But if it's really a ghost, what's the use of her hiding here?

Gritting his teeth, Ye Lin turned his head to look at the closed wooden door not far away, and made up his mind in his heart.

She did Lingxiao Leng and Shuoyue Blade a few times on the spot, so that Jiang Yelin's somewhat weak body could be conditioned with some strength.

Hold the lotus in her hand tightly and pull out the latch on the door. Opened the door to reveal a crack and poked his head out carefully.

The hallway outside the door was still the same as when she had arrived. Quietly, she turned her head to look into the dark hallway at the other end.

The unfathomable darkness was like a mouth of blood, waiting to swallow her completely, and there was something hidden behind the closed doors, which was so strange that it made people panic.

Her eyes swept for some clues. Looking down, something seemed to have fallen from the wooden floor beneath the door of this room.

Ye Lin could be sure that when she went upstairs and entered the room, there was absolutely nothing on the ground, and it could only be that the mysterious person who slammed the door just now accidentally fell.

She looked warily in both directions again to make sure no one was nearby, and then shrewdly stepped out from behind the door and picked up the object.

A lighter.

And the more she looked at this lighter, the more familiar it became, as if she had seen it somewhere.

Where have you seen it?

Ye Lin struggled to think about it, she was frightened by the mysterious person just now, and she felt that she was a little broken.

Suddenly, as if she realized something, she stiffened and pulled out the lighter she had taken from the counter on the ground floor and put it in front of her.

Same.

How can there be two identical lighters? Could it be that the man, like her, took a spare lighter from the counter?

She felt that the blood in her body was about to freeze, and an indescribable strange feeling hit her heart.

Ye Lin suddenly didn't want to stay on this second floor at all, and his only thought was to leave here.

She hurried to the top of the stairs, and fled as quickly as she could.

The extremely terrifying thing is that when she walked to the penultimate staircase, the sound of stepping on the stairs on the second floor was exactly the same, and the footsteps that followed her were definitely not an echo!

Realizing this, Ye Lin's movements were faster, and she almost went downstairs quickly, and her skills strengthened by martial arts far exceeded the strength of a weak girl in high school.

The gate is the safest, because the only person who will come through the gate may be Lu Xu.

Ye Lin quickly rushed to the gate, and just as she was about to arrive, the door was suddenly opened by force.

She looked at Lu Xu who suddenly appeared in front of her in a daze, his cold face looked a little hideous and terrifying under the cover of shadows.

Can't wait here obediently to die, he'll kill himself.

Ye Lin flashed quickly, hiding in the dark, there was no window on the first floor, and the light leaking from the door alone was not enough to reach her.

Lu Xu frowned slightly, he saw that the girl who had rushed in front of him disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

The clicking of the stairs continued, but in the darkness, it was impossible to see what was being chased down the stairs.

Lu Xu frowned slightly, took out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket, he didn't know when he had some cinnabar on his hand, he stretched out his hand to spend something on the yellow paper, and when he was done, he slapped the rune paper in front of him, hung it in the air, and shouted loudly: "Vermilion Bird borrows fire, the sky is clear and the earth is clear, and it is as urgent as a law!" ”

The cinnabar on the talisman paper flickered, and then it burst into flames, and the light of the fire illuminated the entire hall very brightly.

Ye Lin's heart froze, she didn't expect Lu Xu to actually know this hand technique, it looked extremely difficult to deal with. No wonder the shopkeeper said that there were many clerks who folded in this mission.

As the darkness retreated, she had nothing to hide in front of Lu Xu, clasping the lotus yao in her hand tightly, ready to defeat the enemy with one blow at any time, but she didn't expect Lu Xu to just glance at her and look at the staircase.

I don't know when that thing escaped, there was nothing on the stairs.

Ye Lin breathed a sigh of relief, at least the crisis just now had been solved by Lu Xu, and now there was only the biggest danger in front of him that needed to be dealt with. (To be continued.) )
