Chapter 368: Visiting the Old Mansion at Night
Anzi looked at the sunshine with a loveless expression, and smiled secretly in her heart, thanks to her such a hot temperament, she was able to calm down today.
After a while, the show began, and as soon as the horns on the stage came on stage, there was immediately a burst of cheers and applause from the audience.
*
Anzi and Sunshine accompanied Mr. Du all day: watching a play in the morning, having dinner with friends at noon, having a secret meeting with a political dignitary in the afternoon, and in the evening, going to a gang dinner. took them around the market all day long, but he didn't shy away from anything.
In the evening, Du Xian's subordinates took them to a house near the mansion to rest, which was only separated by a wall from the Du Mansion, and Mr. Du also asked someone to help them get their clothes and luggage in the hotel, so they settled here.
Fortunately, Sunshine knew that he was going to move, so he was prepared, and he sealed Anzi's communication tools with spirit runes as early as possible and hid them in a safe place, which ordinary people could not see; Therefore, their luggage is only commonly used daily necessities and clothes.
The house has been cleaned up during the day, it is very spacious and bright, the furniture in the room is antique Chinese furniture, solid wood tables and chairs, carved beds, and the beds are covered with brand-new bedding. Anzi and Sunshine still occupy a room each, and the two of them simply cleaned up, even if they live here.
In the dead of night, Anko sneaked into the sunny room.
Sunshine set up an enchantment in the room, and then used spatial teleportation to take him to the south of the city, and went to find the Shen family's old mansion according to the location she remembered.
Anzi only felt that in a blink of an eye, he fell into a wilderness, and he raised his eyes to look around. There were no people around.
And the sun opened the eyes of the sky, and he could see that there was a formation in front of him: this formation was to prevent outsiders from entering, but it couldn't stop her. She took Anzi around the formation, and by the moonlight, she saw a small town faintly in front of her. It seems that this place has not been developed yet, it is sparsely populated, the houses are scattered, and two people walked on the street for a long time, and they didn't even see a single figure.
As she walked, Yasuko muttered to herself: as soon as they entered the town, they had an eerie feeling, and the houses on both sides of the street were dark. None of them were lighted, and the moonlight shone on the dilapidated stone pavement, glowing with a pale glow. It's eerily quiet, not even the slightest sound of wind or insects, and it really doesn't look like a place for people to live.
"Sister, are you sure you're in the wrong place?" He asked, hesitantly.
Sunshine stared at the wisps of black qi in front of him with a frown: the yin qi here is indeed too heavy. I think a lot of people died not long ago.
"Follow me. Don't look back, don't talk nonsense. She whispered to Yasuko.
There were Yin spirits blocking the way in front of her, so she raised her peachwood sword, and those Yin spirits saw it and avoided it one after another.
The two of them walked all the way to the end of the town, and finally saw a mansion with a high-walled compound with two words inscribed on the tall lintel of the mansion: Shenfu.
When Sunshine saw these two words, she felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart: "It should be here!" ”
She walked to the vermilion gate. The brass ring on the lion's head was pulled, and the muffled sound of metal broke the silence of the night.
It's been a long time. The door creaked open from the inside, and an elderly servant leaned over and carried a white lantern to open the door for them.
As soon as Sunshine saw the lantern, his heart sank suddenly: ordinary people use red lanterns, and only white lanterns are used for funerals. Could it be that there is a funeral in this family?
"Who are you looking for?" The old servant raised his wrinkled face and asked them in a hoarse voice.
Sunshine took a step forward and asked, "May I ask if this is the Jiangnan Criminal?" ”
When the old servant heard the words "Torturer", his eyes flashed, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you—"
"In the lower Taoist disciple Sunshine, he has traveled here and come to visit." Sunshine said in a voice.
The old man looked at her suspiciously, coughed lightly, and did not speak. Seeing his vigilant appearance, Sunshine lit a spirit rune, which curled and burned in the air, dispelling the black gas that followed behind him.
When the old servant saw it, he nodded, but then said: "The old man is on a business trip in the Yin Division, and now he is in retreat, please go back." ”
Sunshine was a little surprised: "Your lord is on a business trip, so who is in charge of the family now?" ”
The old servant shook his head and sighed: "Didn't you find out that this town has already set up a formation?" The people in the town were all caught in the shadows, and no one who was not a fellow believer could enter. There are many unjust souls in the world, the underworld is really short of manpower, the old lady has not been home for a long time, and the young masters and young ladies in the Yang world have also gone to the battlefield, alas...... In troubled times, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the lives are devastated, and we fellow people can only do our best to maintain the peace of the yin and yang worlds, and we don't know how long we can last. ”
"Then did the head of our Taoist sect also go to the battlefield?" Sunshine asked eagerly. She wanted to know if there was Li Yunfeng in this life, she wanted to know if she could find him, and she wanted to know if he was still alive in this world.
The old servant's eyes moved, and he said faintly: "Let's go, the days of blood are still ahead, go back to where you came." ”
Sunshine wanted to ask something, but the door was slowly closing, and she only had time to see the back of the old servant staggering away through the crack in the door.
The bells of the conjuring rang slowly, one by one, and resounded through the night sky of the town—midnight had arrived.
Anzi looked at the slowly closing gate, turned his head and glanced at the sun: from the big Shanghai where singing and dancing to the ghost town where thousands of Xiao Shu ghosts sing, it seems that the distance between heaven and hell is really under the same sky?
"Let's go." Sunshine sighed heavily and pulled him away.
The two of them left the town according to the original way, stepped out of the ghost town, the sun turned around, raised the peachwood sword, pointed the sword at the sky, only to see a piece of golden light straight into the sky, and then fell silent, Anzi looked at the town behind him, and it was gone.
"I've patched up the barrier, and there will be no outsiders to disturb them, and they will return to the Yang World one day...... There will be a day. Sunshine said categorically.
The criminal family has flourished for hundreds of years, and the war cannot destroy the criminal family, and eighty years later, the criminal family is still the leader in the same way. These stormy years will pass, and someone will have to die for it. The sacrifice is to defend the homeland and to allow future generations to live in peace and freedom in their own country.
Behind him, there is still an endless night sky, and the road ahead is far away.
"I'm sure the two of them are on the battlefield." Anzi said in a low voice: "The country will fall, the evil will run rampant, and no bloody man will watch his country being invaded and his compatriots being oppressed and indifferent. (To be continued......)
