Bai Qiuchi changed into a night robe in the room, he smiled silently, cautious he also wanted to look at the mirror, but suddenly found that there was no mirror in this room.

Is it the owner's negligence? It's not like - the room is obviously stocked.

Looking up at the small hourglass he had brought, he knew that the time was almost up, so he stopped thinking about it.

I went out an hour earlier than Zi Shi to find out more about the situation.

He stepped a little down and flew out of the window, just in time to bring a gust of wind to extinguish the candle.

The fire was extinguished, and only a wisp of green smoke remained, rising faintly, and gradually sinking into darkness.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bai Qiuchi walked lightly, and after a while, he arrived near the lotus pond. He flashed again, and then stood on the roof, found a hidden corner, and waited quietly.

The lotus pond is calm and waves, and the rain hits without a trace.

Gardens need to be set up with the main scenery and scenery. The distinctiveness of the main scenery is the key to the success of the overall effect of the garden, and the matching scenery plays the role of baking clouds and supporting the moon in the main scene.

There is no rockery, grass and trees beside the lotus pond, but it is an indescribable beauty.

The eerie beauty is really frightening.

The moonlight seems to favor this pool of beautiful red lotus, only here and cast a shallow glow, just like a dark theater, only in the middle of the stage a beam of chasing light.

The curtain slowly opens, and a thrilling scene is about to be staged.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suddenly, a man stumbled towards the lotus pond.

Through the quiet moonlight, Bai Qiuchi could see her face clearly.

It's Mrs. Hu!

What is this old man doing here alone in the middle of the night?

She didn't apply powder, and her gray face had unwiped tear stains, and she was haggard and dull. She was dressed in white, fluttering in the wind, as pale as paper. Her empty eyes were fixed on the red lotus in the pool, and her steps were staggering, shaky but firm, and she approached the lotus pond step by step. She trembled and stretched out her hand to caress the red lotus, and murmured: "Black cloud, black cloud, the old body is here...... You call me by dream...... Don't you love this lotus...... How glamorous is it...... The old body ......" The voice stopped abruptly, and the sigh came again.

"Ahh

Shocked that the situation was wrong, Bai Qiuchi immediately flew over.

But a second before he reacted, the red lotus lotus's heart flashed, and the old lady's figure tilted at an abnormal angle, and she was sucked tightly by the lotus, unable to move.

But one of them flashed to the old lady before him.

The tall blue-gray body blocked the old lady.

Who is it?

He slowly put down the old lady and turned his head to stare at Bai Qiuchi, his eyes full of indifferent hostility.

It's Hu Yanshi!

Bai was startled, and hurriedly said, "It's a poor way." ”

"There is labor." Hu Yanshi's face returned to calm indifference, waved his hand, turned around and left, as if the person lying on the ground with uncertain life and death was not his grandmother. He walked as fast as a gust of wind, as if he had never come.

The family ...... There is no such thing as happiness on the surface.

Bai Qiuchi hurriedly went to see the old lady.

Dead like a black cloud.

The old lady's skin was soft and couched outside her bones, but she couldn't hide her panicked eyes, her facial features were distorted, and her face was hideous, which was very terrifying. During the day, she was still a noble lady of flesh and blood, but at night she lost her life by the lotus pond, leaving only a skeleton wrapped in rough skin.

This is not the first time Bai Qiuchi has seen a dead person, but it is indeed the first time he has seen such a tragic situation, far worse than the displaced victims, and even more terrible than the flesh and blood on the battlefield.

Because, this is not something that people can do......

Bai Qiuchi's stomach twitched, he slowly stood up, and when he turned around, he found that Old Man Hu was standing behind him gloomily, with an expressionless face. His hands were behind his back, as if holding something.

At this time, it is the sub-hour.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The moonlight was obscured by the clouds, and the air was filled with a murderous aura.

Bai Qiuchi approached and whispered: "Master Hu? ”

Master Hu sneered, not surprised at all, and seemed to be half sad, only muttered: "My lotus...... It's even more colorful......"

"Sir?"

"Someone! Carry the old lady away and prepare for the festival! As soon as the words fell, his tone changed, "My red lotus...... You can be rewarded. Enjoying the lotus under the moon, can Bai Daochang have elegance to accompany the old man? ”

Bai Qiuchi was surprised, this father and son are really so cold-blooded? Can you be indifferent to the death of your biological mother and grandmother who gave birth to and supported you?

The clouds and mist gradually opened, and the rain beat the lotus.

Master Hu personally poured tea for Bai Qiuchi, "Lotus seed tea after the rain, Bai Dao Chang please." ”

"Thank you, sir." Bai Qiuchi took a sip, "The fragrance is light and elegant, good tea!" ”

Master Hu suddenly looked straight at him and said, "Daoist Bai must wonder why the old man is not sad. Again, the affirmative sentence of the statement.

"The poor road is really incomprehensible."

"Alas, it's a long story, everything is wrong...... Many years ago, when there was a lot of war, we moved here with my family, and strange things happened. It was the old man who stopped repairing the old house, and the family business gradually recovered. Three years ago, there was a fire in the house, but fortunately, the family went out to save the incense. At that time, there was a warlock with high spiritual power who passed by this place and said that the five elements of our house were short of water and committed fire, and water overcame fire, so I wanted to build a big pond, which happened to be here, so I expanded the old house and put this pool at the front of the house. I remember that the warlock also did a magic thing, and invited a snow-capped mountain spirit object to put into the pool, and later the pool gave birth to a lotus, and the flowers bloomed undefeated, but the old man remembered...... In the past, this lotus seemed to be snow-white......"

"Snow white?"

"It's been too long...... I can't figure it out......"

"How long?" Bai Qiuchi hurriedly asked.

"I really don't remember...... The old fool...... Anyway, since then, the old lady likes cats, the old husband loves lotus, and the dogs love fish, and there is little communication...... And the hearts of the people are alienated. But somehow, no matter what kind of fish the dog raised in the pond, they always disappeared every other night, and they were also sacrificed to the spirit. But it's weird......"

"But?"

Se Ning entered the door and ...... Alas, the old man is tired...... Hakumichi, you can rest too. Master Hu made a "please" gesture.

The host has issued an eviction order, and Bai Qiuchi is not good to stay long, so he only said, "The master also rests early", got up and left.

After walking a few meters, when I turned around, Master Hu was still drinking alone in the pavilion.

When I walked around the corner and turned around, the kiosk was half covered by a tree, and I couldn't really see it.

The moon was obscured by clouds again, and suddenly all that was in the heavens and the earth melted into this darkness......

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the room, Bai Qiuchi didn't light a candle, but sat straight on the chair to think.

It's so weird!

Even if there is less communication and people are estranged, relatives should not be indifferent to each other, unless they ...... They have ......

"Ahh

Not good!

Bai Qiuchi rushed out in the direction of the pavilion!

I was too negligent just now, how could I let the master be alone......

flew to the pavilion, there was no longer the figure of Master Hu, and the tea set was also taken away, or ...... Disappeared together?

I flew to the old man's room again, and I just saw the candle go out.

Did you fall asleep?

Seeing a few family members going back and forth at night, Bai Qiuchi secretly sighed.

Seeing them coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is the master back?" ”

The family replied, "Hui Dao Chief, I just fell asleep." ”

Bai Qiuchi solemnly explained to the family: "You have to strengthen your patrol, and if there is anything abnormal, immediately send the fastest person to inform me!" ”
