Chapter 3: The Patriarch of the Ghost Clan
Luo Lan wished she had experienced a nightmare, and when she woke up, everything would be back to normal. But the truth is that she fainted on that moonlit night, and when she woke up, her relatives, neighbors and friends all turned into evil spirits.
The sky was getting darker, the sky was clear, the clouds were turning pale blue, and the twilight slowly gathered on the road ahead, and the group walked along the road lined with lush trees, the only road leading to the outside of town.
"How is that possible?" Luo Lan looked at the river in front of him in a daze, the wide, calm water shimmered with a shining silver light, this is a river that surrounds the vicinity of the Amber Manor. And they are already here for the third time.
A gray-feathered, pointy-beaked bird stood on a large crack of mud by the river, looked vigilantly to the right and right, and then immediately flapped its wings and flew into the grey-green bushes on the other side of the river.
"It's an illusion planted by evil spirits." The old woman frowned.
"Jasmine......" the old woman gestured.
Qin Jasmine took out a peculiar carved moon totem bronze mirror that looked very ancient, and the mirror was glowing with silver light.
The old woman looked at the sky, "We have to break through the illusion before it gets dark, and after it gets dark, there will be more and less luck!" ”
The old woman closed her eyes and chanted the words, "Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Open!" The old woman opened her eyes suddenly, and the bronze mirror suddenly shone brightly, and a gossip diagram appeared in the white light, rotating slowly.
"Shengmen!" The old woman closed her eyes. The gossip map also turned faster and faster, and a glowing road suddenly appeared in the night, gradually extending......
"Let's go!" Qin Jasmine said. "But the old lady .......," Luo Lan hesitated to look at the sweaty old woman with a trembling body. Let's go first, Aunt Wen has her own way to leave. Qin Jasmine said confidently.
They ran towards the road, and when Luo Lan followed them and was about to run on the road, he suddenly heard a sneer in his ears, "Do you still want to escape?" A cold voice whispered.
In an instant, the road suddenly disappeared in front of Luo Lan's eyes, and the sky and the earth suddenly darkened.
"Who is it?" Luo Lan was terrified, Luo Lan suddenly felt someone pick her up, "Let go of me!" Frightened, Luo Lan struggled desperately.
"It didn't work." The voice sneered softly, "You can't escape!" ”
This is Luo Lan's bedroom, and the colorful bird of paradise is still quietly placed on the shelf by the window.
It's not a dream, it's not an illusion, it's true! Someone hugged her in the dark...... Luo Lan felt her body tremble, obviously, in a groggy state, she was back in Amber Manor!
"Young Master Mo Xiu invites you to the ball, Miss!" Lin Shuang walked in quietly. "Young Master Mo Xiu? Ball? Luo Lan looked at Lin Shuang in surprise, and a heart almost jumped out of his throat, how could there be a dance party?
The sky was just dark, and from time to time on the grass came leisurely in groups of well-dressed men and women, and shiny cars were neatly parked in front of the door. The servants received the guests who came to the party in an orderly manner.
There is no doubt that Amber Manor is in for a feast.
Neighbors from the neighborhood and some of the town's biggest names gathered. The hall is brightly lit, and the giant crystal chandeliers that hang from the high, bright, flood-lit oval vaulted roof are constantly dazzling.
The servants were shuttling among the noisy guests. Guests gathered in the bright and glorious hall to mingle and talk.
Luo Lan looked at this familiar scene dumbfounded, and Mrs. Luo had a pleasant conversation with several fashionable ladies.
Luo Yun dressed up in a flamboyant manner, but although she tried her best to talk to the young men and tried her best to expand her social circle, no young people were willing to get closer to her.
Ge Lin stood in the midst of An Bai and the other girls, and their eyebrows fluttered and fluttered, causing them to laugh from time to time.
All in all, the lively, noisy, music-filled dance party went on and on. It's certainly a dreamlike life that makes you linger, and the most pleasing thing is that it seems to go on forever.
Then Luo Lan saw a young strange man standing in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling window, the man's slightly pale face and a pair of extremely dark eyes were impressive, and he was looking at her indifferently at the moment. The bright light cast his figure dimly on the smooth glass.
The man walked over to Luo Lan, Luo Lan's heart was pounding heavily, Luo Lanneng must have never seen him.
"Why don't you go dancing? These people are your neighbors and friends. His voice was equally cold and flat.
"Who are you?" Luo Lan's voice trembled, and she looked at the man in horror, his dark eyes staring at her were deep and cold.
The servant came with wine, and the man picked up a glass of wine.
"Drink this wine, and I'll tell you." The man looked at her coldly.
Luo Lan's face turned pale, and the color of the wine in the cup was as red as blood.
"You want to know who I am, don't you even have the guts to do that?" He scoffed.
Luo Lan took the wine with cold fingers, the bright red color shook in the wine glass, Luo Lan took a deep breath, closed his eyes and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, there was no peculiar smell, it should be just ordinary red wine.
"What do you think this glass is in?" The man's mockery intensified. "Our lives are no different from you humans."
"Are you ......." Luo Lan's face did not have a trace of blood.
"I'm your fiancé, you're my fiancée." The man said lightly.
"What?" Luo Lan's frightened heart almost stopped beating, she was his fiancée?
"I don't know ...... You, how could you ......" Luo Lan's voice trembled uncontrollably. Her brain was a terrified mess, how could she have a fiancé? Undoubtedly, something terrible and unbelievable happened to her!
"Where's Luo Lan?" Wen Yinglang looked left and right, but did not see Luo Lan.
"Luo Lan didn't escape!" Wen Yingfeng's face changed greatly.
"And Aunt Wen......" Qin Jasmine was worried.
At this moment, the old woman appeared in front of everyone, "I didn't expect the patriarch of the ghost clan to appear so quickly. A trace of blood oozed from the corner of Aunt Wen's mouth.
"You're hurt?" Qin Jasmine hurriedly helped Aunt Wen sit down.
"That's amazing!" She sighed. "It's a blessing that my life can be saved, it seems that Luo Lan is more than lucky!"
Wen Yingfeng said anxiously. "I'm going to get Luo Lan out!"
"If you go, you will only lose your life." Aunt Wen panted and said, "Now the only way to do this is to gather the hunters under the Suzaku Sect to deal with the Ghost Clan Patriarch together. ”
