Regarding Wang Yuan's idea of buying the murderous mansion, Gongsun Lan and his apprentices said that they couldn't accept it, and Li Xin'er was especially opposed, because she was most afraid of ghosts and fetishes and other things, and she was afraid after passing there in the morning, let alone living there in the future.

Gongsun Lan was also puzzled and asked, "Why did you buy that murderous mansion?" Are you trying it to be cheap? So why bother? I don't have to be short of money. Looking for a decent house and buying it, although the houses in Dongcheng Lifang are expensive, they can still afford it. ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm not trying to be cheap, I just think it's suitable for us to live there." ”

Li Xin'er said angrily: "Didn't you listen to the old man? It's full of ghosts and ghosts, are you looking for death? ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "The ghost talk is nonsense, you don't really think that there are ghosts there." ”

"What nonsense? When I was a child, my mother told me that my father's hometown was in the mountains of Xiangxi, and there were zombies and ghosts at night, and they could jump on the mountain. Li Xin'er jumped to her feet.

Wang Yuan smiled and asked, "Have you seen it with your own eyes?" Or did your mom and dad see it with their own eyes? ”

Li Xin'er said: "That's not true, I don't know if my father and mother have seen me in person, and they didn't say it, but how could my father and mother lie to me?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Won't my father and mother lie to you?" When I was young, I didn't like to sleep at night, I always liked to run, and my mother lied to me that running at night would be caught by the ghosts in the yard. But I didn't sleep for three nights in a row, and I peeked out through the crack of the door for three nights, and I didn't see a ghost. Later, I realized that it was just a trick for my mother to scare me into sleeping obediently. ”

Li Xin'er stomped her feet and said, "But...... If there are no ghosts there, then the old man and the people around him can't make it up? And why should they scare themselves and scare us? ”

Wang Yuan said: "This kind of thing that no one can figure out is more and more terrifying, I don't deny that the people who live in the house have had accidents, but it is normal for people to be sick and die, maybe they just happened to be together, and they were rumored to be evil." ”

Li Xin'er shook her head and disagreed.

Seeing that there was no dispute, Gongsun Lan asked Wang Yuan softly: "Tell me why you insist on that mansion?" Is there any particular reason? ”

Wang Yuan said: "I think so, after we move out of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, we must find a place to stay, but this place of residence can't be in a place that is too noisy, because you are the famous Gongsun Auntie, Twelve Niang is still the object of Li Linfu's arrest so far, and I and Twelve Niang are the identities of Luo Yimen, you and I must not live in the downtown area, so sooner or later we will be found out and cause unnecessary trouble." Since the house has a reputation for being haunted, no one will disturb us in the left and near, and we live more comfortably and steadily, and you don't have to live at home and disguise your appearance for fear of being recognized. Besides, the wasteland around the house is so big, whether you master and apprentice practice swords, play the piano, and no one will find out. So I think this house is definitely a good place for us to settle down, and this house is definitely not expensive, and it is a good business to be able to buy such a large piece of homestead land for very little money. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded slightly and said: "What you say is very reasonable, our identity cannot be revealed, and I haven't practiced for a few days, so it can't be done like this, maybe you can consider buying it." ”

Li Xin'er said sharply: "You have all forgotten, we live with ghosts, what if we have an attack?" ”

Wang Yuan said helplessly: "Twelve Niang, how can there be any ghosts?" If you think about it for yourself, tell me, how many lives did you have? ”

Li Xin'er frowned and said, "Not much, seven or eight lives." ”

Wang Yuan was taken aback, Twelve Niang is really an out-and-out executioner, only eighteen. I killed seven or eight people at the age of nine, and I still don't care.

"Then let me ask you, if there are really ghosts, how can those people you kill not come to you for revenge? Are you still at ease? ”

"This ......" Li Xin'er was speechless, but she couldn't agree, and she still didn't want to do anything else.

Gongsun Lan stood up and said: "Xin'er, let's do this, you go to see Li Heng first, Wang Yuan and I will go to the murderous mansion to explore, if there is really a ghost thing, just stop, if there is nothing, just a rumor, let's buy it." Wang Yuan, what do you think? ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "I agree, let's go in and take a walk to see if there are any ghosts, snakes, and gods." ”

"But what if there is? Are you going to die in it? Li Xin'er said hurriedly.

Wang Yuan said: "We walked by in the morning, aren't we safe?" In this way, before we go in, we will buy some bronze mirror mahogany kendo charms or something, just in case, and besides, your master's sword weapon is earth-shattering and crying ghosts, even if we can't defeat the ghosts, we can always escape. ”

Li Xin'er had no reason to stop it, so she reluctantly agreed; Wang Yuan came out of the box and called the guys to settle the account, and the three of them acted separately in two groups, and when Li Xin'er left, she repeatedly told Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan not to take risks, and she was verbose like an old woman, which made Wang Yuan shake his head and sigh lamentingly.

Not to mention Li Xin'er, who was full of worries, the two cousins Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan, after leaving Changle Fang, went straight to Jing'an Fang, and deliberately passed in front of the Chen Ji Noodle Restaurant, and saw a couple of husband and wife with vegetables sitting in the store. is obviously no longer a giant, but an ordinary couple who are down.

While the day was still bright, and they were not busy negotiating with them, it would have been very easy to negotiate with them if they wanted to see the couple's situation, and the two turned from the main street to the alley, and turned around to the mouth of the alley where they had passed in the morning.

Standing at the exit of the alley, even if Wang Yuan didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he couldn't help but feel worried when he looked at the yellow talisman fluttering on the treetops and the reflection of the bronze mirror inlaid on the wall to ward off evil spirits.

Gongsun Lan asked softly, "Do you want to take some charms with you?" ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "No need, if there is really a ghost, will this spell work?" Let's go. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded slightly, and saw Wang Yuan step out of the alley and step on the path covered by wild grass without hesitation, and touched the short sword hidden in his waist behind him, and stepped to follow.

When I left the Drunken Immortal Building, the spring rain had stopped, and the sun had come out for a while before that, but now the clouds were dense again, perhaps because of the humid air, and a faint layer of mist floated above the wild grass. The sky was gray, and the fog was gray, and everything around me suddenly seemed to be gray.

Wang Yuan secretly called the evil door in his heart, the feeling of standing in the alley was completely different from the feeling of walking on the wasteland, no matter how many times he said to himself that there were no ghosts in the world, but he always felt a little cold on his back.

After more than 100 steps, the small pine tree mountain bag in front and the dilapidated mansion under the mountain bag can already be seen clearly, Wang Yuan looked back and looked back, and found that the small alley and a large number of houses seemed to be gray and unclear. Looking at Gongsun Lan's face next to her, she was obviously a little nervous, white and transparent, and her breathing sound was a little short.

Wang Yuan thought to himself: It turned out that the first sword dance master of the Tang Dynasty was also afraid, but she tried her best to cover it up, I hope she won't be so frightened that she turns around and runs away, as soon as she escapes, she can only follow and escape.

When I passed by in the morning, I just looked at this house from afar, and now I got closer and closer, and the more I looked at this house, the more dilapidated it became, the walls collapsed and the beams were slanted, and the grass and thorns around it were chest deep, making it difficult for people to walk. Wang Yuan's heartbeat accelerated significantly, and in this situation, he couldn't see the place three feet away in front of him, giving people a feeling of extreme insecurity, and there was no weird sound in the surrounding grass, both the sound of gnawing and the sound of wings fluttering, which made people feel cold.

"Wait a minute." Gongsun Lan grabbed Wang Yuan's hand and gasped in a low voice.

This was the first time Gongsun Lan took the initiative to touch Wang Yuan's hand, and her fingers, which should have been soft, were cold and wet, giving Wang Yuan a very uncomfortable feeling.

Gongsun Lan quickly let go of her hand and said in a low voice: "This grass is too deep, if you encounter any foreign objects, you will not be able to react, let me open the way in front, and you will follow behind." ”

After saying that, Gongsun Lan slowly pulled out a short sword with a soft sword on his waist, shook it slightly, and made a sassy sound. Wang Yuan didn't know that she was carrying a blade by her side, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect or something else, so his heart suddenly became steady. It seemed that the strange sound in the surrounding grass was also shocked by the sound of the soft sword shaking, and it suddenly fell silent.

"Follow me, let's walk through here quickly." Gongsun Lan spoke in a low voice, the short sword in his hand danced, and the barren grass and thorns that were chest-high suddenly fell down, revealing a half-foot grass pile with a brush.

Wang Yuan praised it, this is simply a manual lawn mower, but the first sword dance master of the Tang Dynasty has become a lawn mower here, which is really overkill.

"Brush, brush, brush." The sound was endless, withered grass, dead branches, thorns, vines, small trees, but all kinds of things that stood in front of Gongsun Lan were cut off and fell, Wang Yuan followed closely behind Gongsun Lan, and even grabbed the corner of her clothes with his hand, so as not to be alone.

I saw the grass cut down on both sides, and the gray thing ran quickly from it, and it was either a rabbit or a mouse. Not far away, a large black and white bird fluttered and flew into the air, which startled the two of them, but also explained why they had heard the sound of wings flapping just now, apparently it was the nest of this bird, and maybe there were small birds in the nest.

The more smoothly it progressed, the stronger the courage of the two became, and when there were still more than a dozen steps away from the wall behind the house, Wang Yuan suddenly heard Gongsun Lan scream, and his body retreated, almost snuggling into Wang Yuan's arms.

Wang Yuan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Gongsun Lan didn't speak, and the things scattered in the grass that were cut down in front of her fingers, Wang Yuan looked at it, and suddenly his hair stood on end, and he screamed.
