Chapter 3: The Moonlight Mist
The moonlight was hazy, shrouding the lotus pond. How can there be moonlight on a rainy night?
Bai Qiuchi leaned over and looked intently into the pool.
The rain kept dripping, but there wasn't even a ripple in the pool.
The raindrops seemed to disappear as soon as they reached the surface of the water, and not even a trace of the rain star existed, disappearing in front of his eyes for no reason.
What kind of illusion is this?
Bai Qiuchi took out a transparent crystal stone from his clothes and approached the lotus pond.
This is the crystal stone that Jin Xu gave him, and the crystal stone will change according to the situation. The deeper the degree, the faster the change, and the more serious the situation.
The crystal crystal stone instantly turned blood-red.
There is so much yin here, how many people have died here?
Bai Qiuchi couldn't help but sigh softly.
This sigh gradually intensified, expanded, and turned into a soft female voice.
The voice lingered in his ears, as if whispering.
Expand, expand......
Suddenly, the whisper turned into a scream of horror.
Expand, expand...... As if trying to swallow him up in the voice.
"Step in, step in......" the voice kept repeating.
But Bai Qiuchi was unmoved.
This is supposed to be a hint that people stepped into the pool to die.
When she stepped into the cold lake, struggling silently, the water and grass wrapped around her hands and feet, and willing to endure the biting cold, what kind of resolute mood did she have?
Thinking like this for no reason, Bai Qiuchi seemed to see a gentle and weak woman, weak but firm stepping into the pool step by step.
"Tear rainbow, don't do this!" He suddenly couldn't help himself, and he looked up to the sky and roared.
Blood oozed from his hand that clenched the crystal.
Drop by drop......
Drip into the pool, and the blood will disappear from the surface of the water in an instant. The surface of the water churned slightly, as if enjoying the pleasure brought by the fishy sweet blood.
Can't stay here anymore!
I really regret that I didn't ask for a few more talismans from Jinxu......
If she sees the dignified white hero in pain by the pool, she must laugh a few words.
But she's ...... now. She must be selling her talisman to the people......
How did you think of this at this time?
Bai Qiuchi had a splitting headache and confused thoughts......
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bai Dao Chief, why are you here?"
Cui'er suddenly appeared, holding the old lady's beloved cat Heiyun.
The black fur was faintly glowing, and the blue eyes emitted a strange light, staring at Bai Qiuchi vigilantly, and the two sharp swords pierced his eyes, constantly gouging, as if to penetrate him.
"Miss Cui'er, why are you here again?" Bai Qiuchi hid the crystal stone with lightning speed and asked calmly.
"Huh?" Cui'er didn't expect him to ask back, and said hurriedly, "The old lady asked the slave to send the black cloud over......" "The old lady's room seems to be a little farther this way." Bai Qiuchi did not let go of any doubts.
"The black cloud was found here. Bai Daochang, the old lady is still waiting, and the slave and maid have retired. Before the words fell, Cui'er retreated far away, for fear that he would continue to ask questions.
This girl, at such a young age, is not afraid of the darkness at all, and her eyes are so good that she can find the black cat in the dark! The brain turns back quickly, and the reason is reasonable, but any small flaw can't escape the white hero's sharp eyes!
But it was thanks to her that he came out of the illusion.
Isn't it strange that the shrill female voice stopped abruptly the moment she appeared?

Next.
"Ahh
Bai Qiuchi followed the sound and flew to the lotus pond.
Black Cloud is dead.
Its dark blue eyes stared at the lotus pond, and its sharp gaze of resentment and resentment was particularly strange, as if it was complaining about the blue water.
Its fur stood on end, as if it had been electrocuted. The nails on the claws also glowed with an eerie light.
The most terrifying thing is that its fur clung to the bones and drooped down.
One, point, blood, flesh, all, no, leftover.
"What's going on?" Bai Qiuchi asked anxiously.
"I'll be ...... when I pass by here I saw ......" Wan'er clutched her chest nervously, her breathing became short, and she suddenly fell to the ground.
"Miss Wan'er!" Bai Qiuchi hurriedly leaned over to check her pulse, which was very weak and unstable.
"Give her medicine!" Cui'er didn't know when she appeared, and she stuffed a blood-red pill into Wan'er's mouth. The pill seemed to melt in her mouth, and Wan'er slowly eased up.
"She has a bad heart." Cui'er helped her up to explain.
At this time, Mrs. Hu rushed to hear the news, and wept as she ran, "Ah, my black cloud—you died so miserably—" She picked up the remains of the black cloud and looked at it lovingly, "Quick! Come! Take this fur and make a scarf! Oops, my heart hurts...... I made a scarf so that the black clouds could be with me forever...... Bai Dao Chief, you have to help the old body surpass the black clouds...... Alas...... Poor thing! My black clouds! Ay? Cui'er, what are you still doing in a daze? Fast, fast, ......"
This old lady, her granddaughter's affairs are not so urgent. And use such a horrible wreckage as a scarf? An indescribable feeling of nausea came over us.
"Old lady, please mourn. But Poor Dao still wants to ask for advice......" Bai Qiuchi lowered his head slightly and asked respectfully, "When was this lotus pond built?" ”
"Ah, how do you remember? The black clouds are gone...... My little liver...... Oh, this pond seems to have been here all along, and it was there before this mansion was built...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......" The old lady suddenly coughed.
"Help the old lady down to rest!" Cui'er pushed Wan'er, as if she had forgotten that she had been sick just now. This push pushed Wan'er to a stumbling position, but she helped the old lady away without saying a word.
"Bai Dao Chief, please go and rest too......" Cui'er said softly.
Bai Qiuchi felt that this voice seemed to have magical power, and involuntarily took a step.
If he turned his head, he could see that the lotus in the pond seemed to be more bright red, as if it had been newly dyed with a layer of blood red.
When he got back to his room, he came to his senses, "Why am I here?" ”
It is precisely because of his profound internal strength that he can sober up quickly, but even his profound internal strength has been controlled......
Things were far more complicated than he thought.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bai Dao Chief, you really want to go down to the lotus pond." Master Hu used not a question, but a declarative sentence.
"Yes, Master Hu. Poor Dao thinks there is something strange in this pool. Saying that, Bai Qiuchi raised his head slightly and observed Master Hu's expression.
He was very calm and seemed to have an indifferent attitude, but he said politely: "Since Daoist Bai insists, our Hu family will ask Daoist Elder to you." After saying that, as soon as he bowed, Bai Qiuchi hurriedly helped Master Hu, and saw a strange expression flashing on his face, although it was only for a moment, he couldn't escape Bai Qiuchi's eyes.
"Master Hu, Poor Dao hopes that this matter will not be known to others."
The old man naturally understood. Only you and I know about it. Master Hu stroked his beard and whispered.
"Then thank you, sir." Bai Qiuchi bowed, turned around and left, walked to the door, and turned around to add intentionally, "Tonight, Poor Dao will go alone." ”
