As soon as Qiu Jue and the others entered the abandoned mansion, the door creaked shut.

Several of them immediately turned their heads to look, but found nothing.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and the blackbird quickly turned its head, but it was too late, and there was nothing, leaving only a cold wind blowing.

Qiu Cicada whispered to Qiu Jue: "Childe, it should be daytime now, right?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Qiu Jue was asked inexplicably by Qiu Cicada's words.

The blackbird was also puzzled: "It's indeed daytime, but why is it so dark here?" The sky was still cloudy. ”

Qiu Jue nodded: "From the moment I came in, I felt that something was not right, could it be that there was something hidden here?" ”

The blackbird jumped up to see the situation outside the manor, but it was okay not to look at it, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

After the blackbird landed, he began to use what he had learned all his life to investigate, ignoring Qiu Jue and Qiu Cicada at all.

After a long time, the blackbird looked at Qiu Jue and Qiu Cicada.

Qiu Jue asked, "How is it?" ”

The blackbird took a deep breath and said, "Childe, there are people coming and going outside, indicating that it is not dark yet, but it is ......"

Qiu Cicada said: "It doesn't get dark to mean that it's normal outside, but there is a problem here." ”

Qiu Jue raised his hand to stop Qiu Cicada: "It's just what? ”

The blackbird hesitated for a moment: "It's just that there is no shadow of those people outside." ”

"What?" Qiu Jue and Qiu Cicada asked in unison.

The blackbird nodded, "That's true." ”

Qiu Jue was silent for a long time, and she could feel a strong sense of discomfort flickering towards her.

But I can feel a touch of warmth, just like when I first walked through the door.

Qiu Jue said: "Let's go together, this manor is too big, and the three of us are scattered to find each other." ”

"If my guess is correct, this must be an illusion, and I can't determine what caused it." Qiu Jue may have seen too much, but she thinks it is very possible.

"Illusion? What's that? Autumn Cicada asked.

The blackbird thought for a while and said, "I seem to have heard of it, but it is really in the remote areas of other countries, but there is a more similar one that makes people hallucinate, and that is the Lingnan Gu technique. ”

"This is just what I heard, I have never seen it, and last time was also the first time I saw a saint using Gu magic, so let's be careful."

After Qiu Jue reminded him, he carefully walked to the right along the wall.

When passing by, Qiu Jue found that a pair of double dragons playing with pearls was depicted on the wall, and wind chimes were hung on both sides.

Seeing this pair of wind chimes, Qiu Jue's hairs stood up, although she had also experienced a lot of things, she had never seen the wind chimes swing in the wind without any swing.

At first, she thought that the wind chimes were fake, and even if they were real, they had corroded and been damaged, but when she looked closely, everything was fine, and it was a copper bell, and the things that fell inside were also intact.

Qiu Jue's heart tightened, it seems that this letter has a deep meaning for me, what is his purpose?

When Qiu Jue was thinking about things, he had already bypassed the wall and came to the courtyard.

It is indeed very large, there are east and west wings, front halls and backyards, servants, maids' rooms, gardens, etc., and the most important thing is that these courtyards are separated by an iron gate.

"It seems that this family has a strict system, with such a scale and such a distribution, it is indeed not simple." Qiu Jue whispered.

Qiu Cicada said: "Isn't this normal? This is the case for many large families. ”

Qiu Jue nodded: "That's true, but who has ever seen an iron door in every room?" ”

"Is this the place where prisoners are being held?" Autumn cicadas are curious.

The blackbird shook his head: "No, whether it is the host, the guest's room, or the servant's and maid's rooms are very exquisite, if we don't have some common sense of distribution, we don't know which ones are the host's and those are the guests' rooms." ”

"Yes, even the servants' and maids' rooms are so exquisite, and the most important thing is that they are clean." Qiu Jue nodded.

"Clean? Isn't that right, hasn't this place been abandoned for a long time? How is it possible to still be spotless? ”

Qiu Chan looked at Qiu Jue: "Childe, is there still someone living here?" ”

At that moment, a woman's crying brought them back to their senses.

"Where's the crying?" Qiu Jue looked at the blackbird.

The blackbird carefully judged: "At the back of the hall." ”

Qiu Jue walked to the back of the hall without the slightest hesitation.

Qiu Cicada saw that Qiu Jue was a little irrational at this time, so she followed closely behind and protected her safety with the blackbird.

"I said Childe, can you not be so impulsive, this is very dangerous." Autumn Cicada said.

Qiu Jue did not respond at this time, but continued to walk.

Soon they saw an artificial lake in the garden behind the hall with a rockery in the middle of the lake.

The sound came from that rockery.

The blackbird and Qiu Jue glanced at each other, and then jumped up to the rockery.

She didn't notice anything abnormal, so she stood on the top of the rockery and beckoned to Qiu Jue.

Although it is dim, you can see your surroundings.

There are all the pavilions here, and the blackbird beckons and points to the other side to tell them that there is a way to the rockery.

As they had just taken two steps, they saw a dark shadow drift by.

Qiu Jue knew that this was not a lonely ghost, but someone pretending to be a ghost.

This made her very curious, there were still people in the Celestial Empire who played this kind of trick, could it be that there were people like her?

But when he thought about how there were so many crossings, he looked up at the blackbird.

By this time, the blackbird had disappeared.

Qiu Jue immediately asked Qiu Cicada: "Can you see a blackbird?" ”

Qiu Cicada shook his head: "I only saw a black shadow floating by, and when I looked at the rockery again, the blackbird was gone." ”

Qiu Jue nodded: "Maybe she went after the black shadow, let's find out where the woman's voice came from first." ”

But by this time, the sound had stopped, which made them lose the clue again, and after the two of them came to the rockery, they did not find any hidden passages.

"Did we hear you wrong?"

Qiu Jue was a little suspicious that she was still in that person's illusion, but there was still water in the lake, and when she climbed the rockery, the corners of her clothes were stained with water, and she did feel cold.

She let Qiu Cicada squeeze her arm hard, and she felt pain.

"It's real, maybe the mechanism is really on the rockery, but we didn't find it."

As they looked carefully at the mechanism, a gust of wind blew and a man landed next to them.

The autumn cicada subconsciously fell backwards and almost fell into the water.

The man grabbed her, and when he looked closely, it was the blackbird.

"Where did you just go?" Autumn Cicada asked.

The blackbird said, "I saw that black shadow flying by just now, and I chased after him, but I found that he was gone, and I came back." ”

"How can you not catch up with him with your light skills?" Qiu Jue looked at the blackbird in shock.

The blackbird nodded: "That's true, judging from the body, the other party is definitely not a person from our Heavenly Empire." ”

"Could it be someone from Tanglin? It may also be someone from Beizhao. Qiu Jue said uncontrollably.

When the blackbird and the autumn cicada saw Qiu Jue's appearance, they felt that their young lady had really been abnormal since they entered this manor.

The blackbird and the cicada winked, and then one of them ran quickly towards the gate of the manor with one arm.

When Qiu Jue saw the blackbird and the autumn cicada walking around the hall, they saw the black shadow again, and heard the girl's cry again.

Qiu Jue said to the blackbird: "Hurry up and let me down, don't you hear the sound?" We're close to the truth. ”

"Childe, the truth is not as simple as we imagined, if it was really that easy, we wouldn't have stayed on the rockery for so long and found nothing." Qiu Cicada interrupted Qiu Jue's words.

Qiu Cicada and Blackbird ignored Qiu Jue at all, jumped up to the gate, and they pulled the gate open.

With a squeak, they suddenly felt relaxed, as if they had had a big dream.

They came back to their senses to look at the people in the street, and then to the inside of the manor.

They walked out resolutely, and the door behind them closed automatically.

Qiu Jue breathed a long sigh of relief: "Did you find anything?" ”

Qiu Chan shook his head: "I didn't find anything, I just felt that everything we saw just now was not real." ”

The blackbird shook his head: "It's all true, but let's go back first, it's really not normal here." ”

Qiu Jue and the three of them returned to the inn that Xiao Taohong had set, and Xiao Taohong sat in the closest place to the door, holding her cheeks in one hand and looking out of the door.

When the lark saw the little peach, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, the two masters are following." ”

Xiao Taohong saw the autumn cicada coming in, so she immediately jumped up: "Autumn cicada, where is the childe?" Are you back together? ”

"Can't you keep the point when you're a cutie? Don't be surprised, we'd better not get anyone else's attention. Qiu Jue walked in and said.

Xiao Taohong instantly closed her mouth, and then said with a smile: "Hehe, the lesson of the boy is that you guys should sit down and tell me what happened, right?" ”

"There is indeed something, like the street rumors, it seems to be an isolated place inside, and it is dark when you go inside."

"After coming out, the sky is clear again, let's sit down and talk about the specific things slowly." Autumn Cicada said.

After Xiao Taohong ordered a few dishes, she asked Qiu Jue and them to eat first.

After a long time, the people at the table next to me also talked about the manor.

"You know that the old mansion is cursed, and you can't see any difference from the outside, but when you go inside, you will find that the inside is completely different from the outside."

"That's right, the yin qi is too heavy, and I don't know why it wasn't demolished there, or completely closed, why didn't the government implement it?"

"Hey! I'm afraid it's really difficult to do, even those Taoist priests came, but they didn't retreat with their whole body, and the official sent in, but they didn't find anything, and tried to demolish it, but not a single wall was shaken. ”

"It looks really weird."
