Chapter 371: The Phantom Appears
The road has an end, the ancestral house of the Li family, arrived.
"This is it." Seeing it from afar, Li Shengming pointed there.
Tang Chengnian looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a very magnificent mansion, and the walls of the courtyard were painted very coquettishly with red wall paint. The whole house occupies a large area, and the eaves and towers can see the traces of exquisite carving, thinking about it, this Li family can be regarded as a big family in the capital city. It's a pity that no matter how big the family is, the entire family still moves out of here.
It can be seen that this house has been uninhabited for a long time, and it has a somewhat desolate artistic conception, which is very desolate.
Li Shengming looked at the almost deserted ancestral house and sighed deeply.
"Please." He said sincerely.
Dead horse power to be a live horse doctor, he really can't help it, he can't watch the family's ancestral house destroyed in his own hands.
Therefore, even if the person opposite him was just an eight-year-old girl from top to bottom, he had to pin his hopes for a solution on this child. After all, so many things happened, so many people were invited, and nothing was found, and even because of the people he invited, the things in his own backyard were spread...... Now, no one dares to come again at all.
Even if it's a liar, a liar will die.
Li Shengming, it's really out of line.
"Master Li, don't worry." Tang Chengnian had nothing else to say, so he had to comfort him like this.
Although she is not sure, she can still protect herself.
Besides, even if she really encountered any trouble in the backyard of the Li family, she was not alone...... Someone can figure out what this qiē is going on for her.
……
After Li Shengming sent Tang Chengnian into the Li Mansion, he planned to leave.
After all, Tang Chengnian was going to stay here until the day it rained.
Fortunately, it is the rainy season in the capital city, and it has been raining continuously recently, so I don't have to worry about waiting too long.
According to Li Shengming, during this period, the backyard of the Li Mansion was temporarily given to her to live in, however, at several gates of the Li Mansion, there were still gatekeepers guarding them, if Tang Chengnian wanted to eat something, she could let these gatekeepers send it, but she couldn't leave lightly, if she wanted to leave, then she had to get Li Shengming's consent.
This Tang Chengnian naturally would not refuse, she was not originally interested in the things in the Li Mansion.
"No problem, if I need anything, I'll tell them." Tang Chengnian asked again, "During this time, have you been staying in the mansion there?" ”
She was referring to the room that Xu Yan had asked her to see.
"Yes." Li Shengming was still a little uneasy, but since Tang Chengnian boasted, he had no choice but to believe it.
"Please." After Li Shengming finished speaking, he turned around and left.
At the moment when he turned around, Tang Chengnian's mind suddenly remembered a long-lost system prompt.
[Quest "Phantom on a Rainy Night": In the backyard of the Li family in the south of the city, every rainy night, a phantom will appear, and you want to investigate the truth of the matter. 】
[Do you accept the task?] 】
[Yes / No]
Task?
Tang Chengnian naturally confirmed without hesitation.
It's just that she didn't expect that this could be regarded as a task. However, after thinking about it, yes, although this is something she found herself, it is indeed a trust. At that time, she participated in the examination school outside the Bright Moon Cliff, didn't she also complete a challenge? Looks like the portable game system is still working well.
Because Tang Chengnian had already entrusted, the porter only stayed in his own territory and did not come out.
Tang Chengnian also relieved himself to release Ember Wolf Flame and Xiao Hei.
"Woohoo!"
As soon as Xiao Hei was born, he was in the main interface of the portable game system, and he never came out.
Now, seeing the scenery outside, Xiao Hei is excited and keeps running around.
"Shh Tang Chengnian raised a finger and hugged Xiao Hei, although Xiao Hei still couldn't express what he meant, but he was finally able to understand her words, so she admonished, "Xiao Hei, you can't scream too loudly later, I will let you out without telling someone, if you scream too loudly and provoke someone, I won't care about you." ”
For a beast like Xiao Hei, it is best to use simple and crude intimidation methods.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, when she put Xiao Hei back again, Xiao Hei stopped calling loudly.
She can't help it, if the barking of the dog attracts the porter, how can she explain her behavior of "changing into a living dog"?
Just hide it first.
The reason why Xiao Hei was released was also because it was too much like a dog. What if it also has the same sensitive senses as a dog? After all, what Tang Chengnian is facing now is a completely unfamiliar "creature", and in the case of ignorance, it is natural to prepare all the hole cards first, use them or not, and say otherwise.
Tang Chengnian was lucky.
It didn't take long for the sky to be overcast.
Come to think of it, tonight is a rainy night.
The backyard of the Li Mansion was very large, and Tang Chengnian was guarding the door of the westernmost courtyard of the mansion. After nightfall, she had to walk all the way from here to the gate of the courtyard on the east side of the mansion, and walk all the way to see if she could bump into the phantom. After all, the phantom was haunted, and if she had been in the same place, she might not have been able to see it.
"I'm really asking for trouble, I've only seen people hiding ghosts, but I've never seen people who heard of ghosts and bumped into them......"
Tang Chengnian sighed.
In the past, when I read movies and novels, I always couldn't understand the various "death" behaviors of the protagonists of ghost movies and horror stories. Now, she knew that she was dying, but she had to do it...... Fortunately, there is also a floating "ghost fire" by her side, a clever "puppy", but she is not alone. Coupled with the noisy wooden man, this terrifying atmosphere is seven points, and it is also astigmatized.
"Hahaha...... You're so scared, can you still walk later? Shang Liujia in the other side kept nagging, not only not comforting her, but also constantly making ridicule.
Tang Chengnian was angry and said, "I'm not afraid, if I were afraid, I wouldn't agree to the master of the Li family." ”
"Don't be afraid, what are you shaking?"
"I'm not shaking!"
"That whining sound, didn't you cry?" Shang Liujia asked in surprise.
"What's that...... What was that? Tang Chengnian was originally sitting on the stone bench by the courtyard, but now he jumped up decisively.
She swallowed a little nervously and couldn't help but look around.
"What's the cry?"
Tang Chengnian listened carefully for a while before realizing that he had been tricked by Shang Liujia.
"Shang Liujia!"
However, not to mention, with Shang Liujia's gag, she still has the last trace of nervousness, and it is gone.
"How can I hear you have a dog barking there?" Shang Liujia asked suspiciously.
When Tang Chengnian jumped up in shock just now, he frightened Xiao Hei on the side, Xiao Hei didn't hold back, and screamed several times.
Tang Chengnian muttered weakly: "It's not a wilderness...... There is a dog barking, is it strange? ”
"Oh." Shang Liujia heard that Tang Chengnian didn't really want to talk about this issue, so he said helplessly, "Then you should be careful yourself, if you feel that something is wrong, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible." ”
Mockery is mockery, he still doesn't want Tang Chengnian to have an accident.
"I know, don't worry." Tang Chengnian persuaded him in turn.
Shang Liujia smiled bitterly: "Why did you come to comfort me." ”
After talking to Shang Liujia for a while, Tang Chengnian felt that his courage had become more sufficient.
[Quest "Phantom on a Rainy Night": In the backyard of the Li family in the south of the city, every rainy night, a phantom will appear, and you want to investigate the truth of the matter. 】
Tang Chengnian pulled out the task description and looked at it, and in these simple words, there would always be a clue.
On rainy nights...... The meaning of this sentence should be to affirm that the apparition only appeared on a rainy night.
Well, now is not the time.
Tang Chengnian waited patiently, waiting for the time to come.
Late at night.
Tang Chengnian was not sleepy, and when the time came, she set off.
Walking in the backyard of the Li Mansion, Tang Chengnian unfolded all his divine sense.
Although there is no light in the backyard, only the occasional lightning will bring brightness, Tang Chengnian only uses his divine sense to check, and he doesn't care if there is light or not, walking among the corridors in the backyard, he doesn't feel sluggish. It's just that there are too many corridors in the backyard of the Li Mansion...... Tang Chengnian muttered as he walked.
"Wang! Woohoo! ”
Xiao Hei suddenly screamed frantically.
"Blackie? What's wrong? Tang Chengnian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, but soon she came back to her senses and immediately looked in the direction Xiao Hei was looking at-
There was a colorful phantom, floating in the air, like a flying scarf.
Pursue!
Tang Chengnian immediately rushed towards the phantom.
However, the phantom did not flee, but greeted Tang Chengnian.
Tang Chengnian was vigilant, and stopped in advance when he was about to collide with the phantom.
Dream Talk!
Tang Chengnian launched an attack, and an invisible spiritual power hit the phantom. That's the entity!
Thinking about it, this phantom didn't expect that Tang Chengnian would not only not run away, but would immediately think of attacking it, but he didn't react. The dream struck the apparition, and it fell silently from mid-air.
The phantom fell to the ground like a folded scarf.
It really looks like a piece of cloth no matter how you look at it.
Tang Chengnian took a step forward.
Just as she was about to bend down to pick up the scarf, she suddenly noticed that her steps had become a little staggering.
My mind suddenly became foggy.
What's the situation?
"Woohoo! Woohoo! "Xiao Hei is in a hurry.
But Tang Chengnian found that she seemed to have no way to control herself, she only felt that the qiē in front of her had become extremely foggy, and she was about to faint - faint -
"Plop"
Tang Chengnian fell to the ground. RS
