Chapter 312: Five Elements Footprints
"Well," Yan Shao nodded and said, "Then I'll take a look first, and I'll explore the way for you first!" ”
After speaking, Yan Shao stood up, and was about to turn over and cross the outer wall, preparing to enter the courtyard to take a look.
Yu Ke hurriedly got up, patted Yan Shao's shoulder and said, "It's better for me to go, you take care of it outside, if there is no danger after I go in, you can come in again." ”
Yan Shao thought for a while and said, "Okay, then you can help us explore the way first." ”
After listening to the words of the less, Yu Ke nodded, looked left and right again, and found no people, so he jumped on the wall, bowed over the cat and looked at it, although he couldn't see the situation in the yard clearly, but Yu Ke, as a master, must be able to feel the situation nearby, he should have found that there was no problem, turned his head and whispered to the people below: "It's okay, you guys come up, I'll go down to see first." ”
After saying that, Yu Ke's figure disappeared from the wall.
Yan Shao turned his head to look at Nan Xun and the freshman, thought for a moment, and said, "Let the freshman break off, I'll take you up!" ”
After speaking, without waiting for Nan Xun to agree or disagree, he stretched out his hand, grabbed Nan Xun's waist, jumped slightly, and then flew into the courtyard, although Nan Xun was a little panicked, but he didn't shout out, just stared at Yan Shao viciously.
Then, with a brisk sound of landing, the freshman also came in.
The courtyard was dark and rumbling, and Nan Xun could only look at a general appearance.
They entered from the backyard, so the first thing they saw was a central main house, four rooms, standing quietly in the middle of the courtyard, flanked by several side rooms, symmetrical and neat.
Although the courtyard is not very large, but the pavilions, grass and bamboo forests, there is still everything, it can be seen that the original owner of the courtyard is also a person who knows how to enjoy, at least for the place to live, is very particular.
Nan Kaoru said, "Where to start!?" ”
Yan Shao looked at the terrain and said, "This, we should get a torch first, otherwise the black rumbling will be loud and we won't be able to see anything, what if we miss something good!?" ”
Nan Kaoru asked a little worriedly, "It won't be discovered, right!?" ”
"No," Yan Shao said, "I took a look, the highest one in the neighborhood is your Xiang Ming Xuan, but at this hour, no one will observe this courtyard from the upstairs of Xiang Ming Xuan, so I can't see our movement inside!" ”
"However, the light of the torch can be seen even by people who walk!" After Nan Xun finished speaking, he smiled to himself, "I know, basically no one will come out and walk around at this point, especially walking around outside this courtyard, hahaha, even if someone sees it, they won't say anything, and even if they see it, they will be scared to turn around and leave." ”
"yes!" Yan Shao nodded, "The legend of this courtyard can help us cover well, so as not to let boring people come and disturb us, if there are really people coming in, it means that they have the same purpose as us, and they can only act at the right time." ”
Anyone who sees the light in this courtyard and comes here must have ulterior motives, definitely not ordinary characters, and the purpose of the plan is definitely not better there, basically like empty-handed, I feel that there are some rare treasures here, so I don't hesitate to take the risk and come in to take a look.
For such a person, Nan Xun and Yan Shao have no way to stop them, they can only make plans when they meet them.
Then, Yu Ke asked, "Do you light the torch?!" ”
"Well," Yan Shao nodded, and said, "Let's do it, but not too many, one is enough, and try to keep the torches low, so that the light is too bright and too noticeable, although, in the middle of the night, most of the people have slept, but let's be careful." “
After listening to this, Yu Ke took out a torch from behind his back, then took out the fire fold and lit the torch, so that Nan Xun could see some of the surrounding situation a little.
At present, it seems that this is an ordinary courtyard, at most it is more exquisite, and there is nothing strange and weird, of course, Nan Xun knows, this is just the beginning, they have not taken a step since they came to this courtyard, who knows what will greet them next.
You know, the people in this West Market, can treat this courtyard as a haunted house, since people say so, it means that there must be something strange in this, if it is not man-made, then there is really something unclean in it.
Anyway, it definitely won't be that simple, the quiet and normal that Nan Xun sees now makes her feel even more panicked, because this shows that there seems to be no one in the yard, there seems to be no one in the yard, on the bluestone slab, a layer of dust, it is obvious that no one has ever moved, unless this person flies with light power when he enters and exits the yard, otherwise, he will definitely leave footprints.
And so far, Nanxun Road has not seen a single footprint.
Yu Ke put the torch very low, and Nam Kaoru could clearly see what was on the ground, so she paid attention to this.
But after thinking about it, they are now in the backyard, maybe the people who live in it are more cautious and rarely go out to walk around, so naturally they will not leave any footprints.
Yan Shao listened carefully for a while, and said: "There is no movement, let's go, let's go to the main house to have a look, anyway, we have to go in sooner or later, let's check the main place first, it's best, we can find it, otherwise, we have to check it by a side room, it will be a little troublesome." ”
"Okay, let's act quickly, hurry up and finish the investigation, let's go, I think, it's going to rain heavily, and if it doesn't stop at that time, we'll have to spend the night here."
Yu Ke is a man from Sichuan and Shu, and he doesn't know the right thing about the Central Plains, and he rarely knows the legend of Luoyang City and the story of the Xishi Courtyard, let alone him, even if it's Nan Xun, he just learned about these things not long ago.
Nan Xun felt that Yan Shao definitely didn't tell Yu Ke about the purpose of coming here, or rather, he was only halfway there, Yan Shao should have asked Yu Ke to help investigate those people in Zhongtian, and didn't tell Yu Ke that there were rumors that this courtyard was actually haunted, so Yu Ke would come in so casually and laugh so casually.
If he knew what was really going on, the expression on his face probably wouldn't be so relaxed.
For Yu Ke, dealing with Zhongtian and others is just a piece of cake, or rather, his self-confidence makes him feel that Zhongtian's people are not difficult to deal with, this bit of arrogance, Yu Ke has it, after all, he is known as the long and short knife in Shu, and there is no thing at the bottom of the box, so he can become such a name.
remembered that when Zaibizhou was at that time, Yu Ke and Yan Shao fought against each other, and the two of them stopped at the point and did not fight, so it is difficult to guess how strong Yu Ke's real strength is.
So Nan Xun turned his head and glanced at Yan Shao one by one, with a sly look in his eyes.
Yan Shao knew what Nan Xun meant, so he waved his hand lightly and asked Nan Xun not to speak, lest when Yu Ke blamed Yan Shao and didn't mix with Yan Shao, then Yan Shaoke would lose such a powerful helper.
In case he really encountered something weird, Yan Shao could also shirk it and say that he didn't know what the situation was, but he just asked his subordinates to track down Zhongtian and them, and then he found here.
As for why this courtyard is so weird, Yan Shao can say that he doesn't know, because he really hasn't been to this courtyard.
As they spoke, a few people walked to the main house.
After walking dozens of steps, the freshman at the end of the team suddenly shouted: "Wait! ”
Yu Ke immediately turned around, the torch light shone to the back, and the freshman was at the back, frowning, and his expression was not very good.
Yan Shao then asked, "What's wrong!?" ”
"Shh~!" The freshman gently shushed and made a gesture to silence everyone, and then the four of them stood motionless in the courtyard like stone statues, even breathing extremely carefully.
For fear of disturbing the freshman's train of thought, at this critical time, if you are not careful, you may miss a lot of clues, so the other three all looked at the freshman nervously, waiting for him to speak.
After a while, the freshman said, "Did you hear anything!?" ”
"Voice!?"
Yan Shao and Yu Ke shook their heads together, indicating that they didn't hear any movement at all, according to Yan Shao and Yu Ke's skills, if there was any wind and grass nearby, they would definitely not be able to escape Yan Shao's ears.
It's a pity that there is no wind at all tonight, and there will be no sound of wind and grass, which can also be said to be the tranquility before the storm, Yu Ke is also because of this, I feel that tonight's rainstorm must be very big, after all, everyone has common sense, the more dull and quiet, without the slightest breeze, then when the rainstorm comes, the more tragic and spectacular it will be.
At this time, the freshman said something that made the four of them cry and laugh: "I didn't hear it either!" ”
Yan Shao suddenly felt that he didn't know what to say, and waited for a long time to see the big one: "You made us wait for a long time, even if you told us that you were the same as us, and you didn't hear anything!?" ”
"yes," said the freshman seriously, "that's it, isn't that weird!?" ”
"Someone has to make some kind of sword intersecting and the sound of hidden weapons flying around, don't you think it's strange!?" It may also be because Yan Shao is too nervous, so his tone is a little excited.
After Nan Xun saw it, he felt bad in his heart, if Yan Shao was angry, it would be a bad thing, Yan Shao was not a person to deal with, and more importantly, the purpose of their coming here was to check this courtyard, this has not started yet, and their own people made trouble first, which is a bit unusual.
Nan Xun was about to open his mouth to persuade him, and when he saw that the freshman looked as usual, he didn't feel ashamed because of the words he said, and he didn't plan to get into trouble with the words because of the words that he said.
Could it be that what the freshman said is true, but the rebuttal of the few words is also very reasonable, the freshman is a person who is not good at expressing himself, so, Nan Xun only recalled what the freshman said just now, and I didn't hear it, well, the meaning of this sentence is that the freshman himself didn't hear any sound.
I didn't hear the voice, well, Nan Xun suddenly thought of something, and her heart couldn't help but tremble, and then, she turned to Yan Shao, tried hard to suppress the shock in her heart, and said very calmly: "Yan Shao, I think, what the freshman means, is that he didn't hear any sound, it was any sound." ”
When Nan Xun said this, Yan Shao was also stunned, and then he seemed to suddenly realize, looked around vigilantly and said: "I also noticed that in this courtyard, except for the sound made by the four of us, there is no movement of any living creatures, not even the sound of flying insects and crawlers, it is indeed a little strange!" ”
Yu Ke also nodded at this time, and listened carefully, there was indeed no movement, so he said: "It shows that there is something strange about this yard, if it is really a deserted yard, it would have become a home for rats and reptiles, and it is impossible not to have a little movement of living creatures." ”
Kaoru followed the firelight and looked at the ground, trying to look for any traces of rats and insects.
As a result, they didn't find anything, their eyes skimmed farther away, and the firelight was almost invisible, but Nan Xun clearly found that on the road they had just come, there were five element footprints.
Nan Xun retracted his eyes and said, "Okay, it's useless to say this, no matter what, we still have to investigate, let's go to the main house, anyway, let's be careful all the way, especially Young Master Yan, you can protect me!" ”
As he spoke, Nan Xun walked to Yan Shao's side, grabbed Yan Shao's arm tightly, and walked side by side with him.
Girls' family, when encountering this situation, it is normal to be afraid, and it is also normal to find a trustworthy person to rely on, but Yan Shao feels very abnormal, and keeps staring at Nan Xun, feeling that she seems to be a little too strange.
Nan Xun gently wrote a few words in Yan Shao's palm: Five elements of footprints behind him!
Remembering Nan Xun, he felt Yan Shao's body tremble, and then, Yan Shao wrote in the palm of Nan Xun's hand: Really?
Nan Xun believed in her eyes, so she wrote in Yan Shao's hand: Yes, is it a ghost?
After a while, Yan Shaocai wrote in Nan Xun's hand: Ghosts have no feet.
Nan Xun nodded, just now he was indeed a little confused with his thoughts, and now he said a few words to break through the mystery, Nan Xun wrote: People are troubled?
Yan Shao wrote: It must be.
Nami Kaoru wrote: Who?
At this moment, Yan Shao didn't answer her, but walked for a while, and seeing that he was about to reach the door of the main house, Yan Shaocai waved his hand and motioned for Nan Xun to leave his side.
Nan Xun let go of Yan Shao's arm and leaned in the direction of the freshman, after all, for Nan Xun, in fact, the freshman is more worthy of his trust, but the freshman will not react as quickly as Yan Shao, so Nan Xun has to find Yan Shao to discuss countermeasures.
Now it seems that Yan Shao seems to have a countermeasure, and when he saw Nan Xun in his freshman year, he felt something, so he took two steps forward and could protect Nan Xun's safety at any time.
"Come out!" (To be continued.) )
