Chapter 1: Rainy Night Terror
In the night, thunder roared, and heavy rain poured down.
Outside Dingjiabao, in the sound of the dripping rain, there was a sudden sigh of relief, "This is it." ”
Three thousand miles of sleepless pursuit, until the clue was suddenly cut off four days ago, so that she once thought that she was going to fetch water with a bamboo basket again, but she didn't expect that tonight, the wind in the distance, and there was a special aroma that seemed to be nothing.
Lightning flashed in the sky, the earth was as bright as day, and the maiden stood waist-high among the weedy hills, letting the rain trickle down the brim of her hat, wetting her face and dripping down the ends of her hair.
Beneath this embarrassed appearance, there is a pair of eyes that can't be concealed and are amazingly bright.
She was about to walk forward, when she suddenly paused, as if something had grabbed her.
"What?" she wondered.
"No. A voice whispered around her neck, and then the cloak around the girl's neck moved, and a red silk like a silk came out of it, and made a very anthropomorphic deep breath towards the place of Dingjiabao in front of her.
"Something wasn't right in this place, but the rain was so heavy that it masked the smell and I couldn't find out exactly what was going on inside. ”
"Either way, I'm going to have to go in and have a look. The girl suppressed the excitement in her heart, "Although I can't smell it now, I'm pretty sure that before this rain, the breath of the imperial medicine appeared here." ”
The stakes were high, and Hong Aya also knew what the imperial medicine meant to her, so she retracted back into the girl's warm neck and stopped talking.
The girl knew that this was what it meant to agree.
Without hesitation, she strode to the foot of Dingjiabao in the face of the rain, the tall wall could not hinder her at all, but in a few vertical leaps, with the power of the wind, her body seemed to be lighter than a feather, and she floated up the wall with ease.
As soon as she got up to the wall, she immediately realized what Red Aya had just said about "inappropriate", what kind of inappropriateness it was.
It was quiet and there was no one.
How could a family like Dingjiabao not even have a sentry at night?
She walked down the stairs of the inner wall and into the inner corridor of Dingjiabao, which was empty, and she observed the torches on the wall, which had been extinguished for some time.
At the end of the corridor was a large black stone door, closed at the moment, revealing a slight ominous aura.
"Be careful. The voice around her neck reminded her.
The girl nodded slightly, came to the door and first measured the thickness of the giant door, then closed her eyes, and a green glimmer appeared in her hands, and she pushed without hesitation-
A warmth mixed with the smell of blood came to my face.
The girl's hand froze as she pushed the door.
She pushed open a gap in the black stone door that could be entered by one person, and through this gap, she saw ...... Corpses all over the ground.
It was a large and ornate hall, which was supposed to be used for banquets in Dingjiabao, with unfinished dishes on the table, lamps hanging high on the walls, and even bright fires.
And it is such a seemingly warm place, but it has become the hell of Shura!
Some of the corpses were covered in blood, and it was obvious that they had fought fiercely before they died, but most of them were neat and tidy, with no obvious wounds, and it was not difficult to find that they were all guards, maidservants, and cooks in Dingjiabao......
What made them gather in this place, and before they even resisted, they lost their lives?
"It's lost souls," Red Aya poked her head out of her neck, "and their souls have been taken away." ”
The girl's slender eyebrows frowned, and before she could decide her next step, she suddenly heard a woman's sharp howl in the distance behind her!
As soon as her body moved, her body preceded her thoughts, and shot like an arrow towards the source of the sound.
When she arrived outside the courtyard gate, she saw a woman lying on the ground, her neck showing a strange angle, and the tall black-robed man standing beside her was slowly retracting his hand and hiding it in his sleeve.
"Lord White Sparrow, as you expected, that thing was hidden here by Ding Hongtian. A man in black came out of the next room, raised his hands up, and respectfully presented a box.
The girl stared closely at the movements of the "White Sparrow-sama" as he took the box and opened it gently. At this time, there was still a reminder of red silk ringing in her ears.
"Don't get too close, this person is unfathomable, be careful to be discovered. ”
As soon as Hongya's words were finished, the hand of the "White Sparrow-sama" who opened the box suddenly paused, turned his head, and swept his gaze straight towards the girl's place!
The girl's heart was pounding, and she quickly closed her eyes and held her breath, but fortunately she pinched the law and hid her figure on the way here.
She was confident in her skills, but she didn't expect this man's senses to be so sharp.
The man glanced over the side and frowned.
"Lord Baique, but what's wrong?" The black-clothed subordinate next to him also followed him to look here a few times, but he didn't find anything except the courtyard gate and flower beds.
The girl closed her eyes, unable to see what was happening in front of her, the air was quiet for a moment, and a magnetic but somewhat hoarse voice slowly came, "It seems that someone is snooping." ”
After a pause, the voice said, "That's it, probably because I'm too careful." ”
He turned his head back. She couldn't say or see with her eyes closed, but Red Aya, because of its true body, could not be considered a "living" thing, but it was not afraid, and what it said could only be heard by its owner.
The girl opened her eyes again, but she did not dare to glance at the "White Sparrow-sama" again.
"The box is opened, it is not the imperial medicine. Red Aya said to her.
There was no special aroma in the air, which also confirmed what Red Aya said, and the girl couldn't help but be very disappointed.
If the target of this group of people is not the imperial medicine, then where will the imperial medicine be? Is the person holding the imperial medicine still here? Is he still alive?
She had been chasing the Imperial Medicine from the west, except for the sudden loss of smell four days ago, and the Imperial Medicine had been constantly moving before. And tonight, the breath of the imperial medicine reappeared in Dingjiabao, which shows that the person holding the imperial medicine will not arrive in Dingjiabao for more than four days.
But now that Dingjiabao has been destroyed, she has no one to ask, and the hope that she finally saw is gone again.
"Someone is coming. As soon as Hong Aya finished saying to her, a crisp and long bell sounded faintly in the wind.
She is a young woman dressed as a Miao girl, only to the knees under the navy blue skirt, revealing a pair of heavenly feet, slender and slender, stepping on the rain, but not a little dirty.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the golden bell tied to her feet, which has a unique shape, like a human skull, and there are simple and complex lines on it.
