The sun sets, and the afterglow fades.

The sky had not yet completely darkened, and as soon as the moon was hooked in the distant sky, some outlines could not wait to appear.

Yeming turned out a small basket of carbon in the room arranged for them by the old steward Mi Er.

With this as the pen and the ground as the paper, the internal structure and pattern of the Prince of Heshuo Mansion are roughly outlined.

"I won't copy the first three in, the back is the focus." Ye Ming found a bamboo pole of just the right length out of nowhere, and explained with a charcoal pen: "The whole palace is divided into three roads: east, west and middle, and is composed of seven courtyards;

Each courtyard is basically equipped with two parts: a mansion and a garden, and the architectural specifications of each mansion are different, some are large and some are small;

Look here. ”

Ye Ming carried a bamboo pole and pointed to a third of the schematic diagram of the palace plan, a long horizontal line that was thickened and weighted: "This line represents a high wall that runs through the entire palace, and this is the dividing line, from the entrance to here, this whole area should not be important in my opinion."

After a while, everyone quickly searched this piece together.

Inside the high wall was the important area that the old man had told us not to enter.

According to the general pattern of the palace, the middle road area is the largest, there are buildings such as buildings and water systems surrounding, and the two gardens on the left and right are quite large;

The area of West Road is medium, and there are also buildings, halls, lakes, streams and gardens;

East Road is the smallest, with three multi-storey buildings and two rows of low buildings, and the garden is also relatively small. ”

Looking at the charcoal strokes on the ground that were about one meter long and wide, rough but concise and easy to understand, Shen Shenying was deeply surprised.

She also looked at the layout of the palace from the bell tower, and roughly remembered it. Although she is not a top student, she is quite confident in her memory.

However, compared to the luminescence... There is no comparison.

"When I walked around the market at noon, I listened to passers-by chatting and saying that 'if you have money, you don't enter the southeast room, and the winter is not warm and the summer is not cool', combined with the sunshine law of the whole day, the house here is the best to sit in the north room facing south, followed by the west room facing east in the west room, and the east room and the south room are facing the worst.

Therefore, the north side of the middle road should live with the master, that is, the prince, Fujin or something; The west road is most likely a guest room, and the east road is the residence of the servants. ”

Ye Ming looked up at the darkening sky, and continued: "There are just three of us, and the most efficient way is to pick one of our own roads and search in a map-like manner. ”

"Don't do it!" Huang Yifeng immediately shook his head like a rattle, "[Don't go alone when you meet ghosts, don't hold together in the last days] Jin Yu good words! You've said it, it's a ghost-based mission, and I'm not separated from you anyway. ”

"I agree." Shen Shenying said: "Although searching all the way is the fastest and most efficient way to trigger the plot push. But this palace is too big, and if there is danger, it is difficult for everyone to rescue in time. ”

After Ye Ming pondered for two seconds, he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go all the way together."

I did the math, and walking back from the other road after one way is equivalent to a three-week detour. It's almost 7 o'clock now, and we spent nearly 3 hours walking around during the day, and even if we were unlucky, we were able to complete the full map search at 4 o'clock in the morning. ”

Shen Shenying's heart shook slightly.

So precise!

In this way, everyone went the same way, and when they went in to see the actual distance between the building and the garden, they made arrangements. Let's go. ”

With that, Yeming threw the bamboo pole aside, equipped it with [Li Sizhen's skin], showed the [suspicious crowbar], and began to search from the wing room at the very end.

Huang Yifeng was also immediately equipped with [Hole Cloak] and [Swallow Boots], holding the half-meter-long jungle machete in his hand. Although, he knows very well in his heart that physical attacks are against ghosts or something, and basically no fart is used, but the guy in his hand can be more or less courageous.

Shen Shenying raised his hand and waved it lightly, and he was dressed in dark green men's clothing, and instantly had a half-length cloak with a hood.

The cloak is made of a combination of soft leather and tweed, and has a style reminiscent of Assassin's Creed.

At the same time, the cloth shoes on her feet also turned into a pair of strappy leather boots with a very rough style.

The two pieces of equipment have the same dark red color and almost the same degree of brushing, so you can see that they are a set at a glance.

Huang Yifeng exclaimed: "Handsome! ”

Shen Shenying smiled and pointed at the machete in Huang Yifeng's hand, "You're not bad." ”

Although he knew that he couldn't find any valuable clues, and it was impossible to directly trigger a certain point that promoted the plot content, in order to avoid any eventuality, Yeming still decided to clear the 'outfield' first.

The so-called outfield is the part of the high wall that stretches across one-third of the palace, the part in front of it. Among them is the third entry where the three of them are at this time.

It only took half an hour, and the three of them searched all the rooms where the first three entered.

No surprises, nothing to gain.

The trio then continued to push in parallel with the carpet.

After another half an hour, I finally touched the 6-meter-high wall.

Along the base of the wall, there are several courtyard gates of different sizes lined up.

Yeming asked Huang Yifeng to choose one of them as he liked, and pushed the door in.

Yes, the gate is not locked.

If the old housekeeper Mi Er really doesn't want the people who guard the palace to enter the palace at night, he can lock it with a big lock.

So, what kind of heart does this old guy have?

"Brother Ming, do you say those people are poor and crazy? Knowing that this is a murderous house, he dares to sign a life and death certificate, it's too rigid. ”

"That's when you didn't have real hunger. Think about it yourself, if you are a father, your wife and children can't eat for several days, and there is a lucrative errand in front of you, will you want to give it a go? ”

Huang Yifeng frowned and thought for a while, "I definitely want to fight, but this is equivalent to death!" ”

"Not necessarily." Ye Ming said expressionlessly: "There are always people who will have a fluke mentality, and there are always people who have some wrong perceptions of themselves. The three major illusions of life, learn about them. ”

Huang Yifeng asked with a serious face: "Which version are you referring to?" ”

"The people who signed the life and death contract with Mi Er are all desperate people. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to selling his life to the palace. But people always seek to survive, so those people's hearts must be the same as we are at this time. Shen Shenying looked up at the sky that had completely darkened, and said with a slightly serious face: "I won't die, I can live until tomorrow morning, I can earn this money." ”

While talking, the three of them, led by Yeming, walked through a bamboo forest road and came to the inner courtyard of the palace.

Visible and gloomy.

Weeds in the corners, more than a foot high; The degree of leaf withering of unknown trees is obviously not what this season should be.

The branches overhead are staggered, the ground on both sides is full of thorns, and when you look up, the three-story building not far away is actually showing the meaning of dilapidation.

The last quarter moon hangs in the sky, like a round of life-seeking hooks, and like a ghostly eye, secretly watching the three people walking through the withered mansion.

There was dead silence and no wind.

But as the three of them walked deeper and deeper, the indescribable chill climbed from the soles of their feet to the heavenly spirit cover, seeping through the bones.

"Go there and have a look."

Luminous refers to the three-story building.

Huang Yifeng and Shen Shenying had no objection to this, so the three of them crossed the winding path bridge and walked towards that side.

Under the bridge is a lotus pond, at this time, the lotus leaves in it are dry and rotten, lying on the black water. As I got closer, I could still smell the smell of rotten plants.

"I feel like I've traveled into Liao Zhai."

Huang Yifeng's heart tightened, and he scolded softly: "You are big, don't deliberately scare people." ”

Yeming covered his mouth and laughed like a child who had succeeded in playing a prank.

Although Shen Shenying was not too scared, the tension in his heart was real. was said by Yeming, and it was still a little hairy.

Successfully arrived at the bottom of the building, and Luminous held a crowbar against the closed door.

Squeak.

The door opened.

"I'll go in and see, and you'll wait outside. If you hear screams, leave me alone. Fatso. ”

Ye Ming took the multi-function flashlight and gave Huang Yifeng a look, and the latter immediately nodded in understanding.

When he stepped into the door, Shen Shenying asked worriedly and suspiciously, "What if, I mean just if." If we hear a scream, do we really ignore him? ”

Huang Yifeng shook the walkie-talkie in his hand, "If he really has something, he will use this contact." ”

Shen Shenying reacted for a moment, and quickly figured it out.

Ghosts are good at hallucinating mental attacks, imitating or directly transforming into the appearance and voice of others, and it is a common trick.

Therefore, if she and the fat man really heard cries for help, screams, etc., it was very likely that it was a trick of the ghost envoy.

Yeming took this into account, so he made a special explanation.

When I entered the building and turned on the flashlight, I saw a large round table in the main hall, a high-backed chair, and round tables in the wings on the left and right;

Going up to the second floor, the main room is also similar to the furnishings, and the left and right sides are similar to tea rooms.

The same goes for the third floor.

In this way, it should be a restaurant dedicated to feasting guests, or the host's family gathering for a big meal.

Except for the suspicion that the degree of ash does not seem to have formed in just five months, there is nothing strange about it.

After meticulously sweeping through it again, Nightlight determined that there were no quest clues to dig up in the building.

The only bonus is that if you look down from the third floor, you can barely see the terrain within five or six hundred meters.

What aroused Yeming's interest was a pavilion in the middle of a lake more than 500 meters away.

I saw that inside the pavilion, there were many shadows, and there seemed to be a coffin!
