Horse House.

In the palatial Horse Mansion, the personnel are constantly flowing, and rows of officers and soldiers are visiting everywhere.

I saw a tall and burly man sitting there quietly in the hall, with a handsome face, thick eyebrows, big dark eyes, and thick lips under the high bridge of his nose.

However, the atmosphere in the air seemed relatively dull, and there was a depressing feeling hidden everywhere, and there were two people kneeling on the ground, trembling and sweating profusely, and they didn't dare to raise their heads, and they didn't move.

"Tell me, where are the rest, do you have eyebrows?" I saw that the master waved his hand, told the people around him, and hurriedly said: "Who is the scholar you mentioned before?" I have a crush on him. ”

At this time, the person on the ground slowly raised his head, looked at him in fear, looked at him ignorantly, and stammered: "That scholar used to drink tea in a restaurant before, and he seemed to be holding a red line in his hand. It's been a few months, but the minion didn't see anything unusual about him, and thought it was just an ordinary red line at the time, and didn't care. ”

I saw another man beside him with an anxious look, and hurriedly explained: "We didn't know that the red line was so important at the beginning, if we had known the use of the red line earlier, we would definitely have gotten it as a horse master, and we wouldn't have let him slip away under our noses. ”

"Okay, okay, now that the matter has come out, don't blame yourself anymore, what are we thinking about now, where did we find that scholar?" The horse master asked with a cold look on his face.

The man on the ground smiled and said, "It seems that he has gone to Poplar Town for these days. ”

At first glance, the horse master widened his eyes and was stunned for a moment, but there was no surprised expression on the man's face, as if he had already known this answer.

"I heard that there is a particularly serious ghost in Poplar Town, where ghosts often haunt and constantly suck the essence of human beings, I heard that the villagers there disappeared early, and now it is just a ruined city, and most of the people who appear there are possessed by hungry ghosts, why did he go there?" The horse master was stunned, raised his head, thought, and said slowly.

"What if he went there looking for companions? A red thread has a huge function, and since he is such a treasure and already knows its purpose, maybe he has a purpose for going to Poplar Town. The man on his knees whispered a word, and he trembled.

I saw that the horse master raised his head, closed his eyes, and thought about it carefully, as if he was constantly inhaling the black fog in the air, and slowly he opened his eyes, only to see that his eyes were red and red, like blood and tears, flowing down from the corners of his eyes, looking at the people on the ground trembling, stunned.

"Okay, you guys go back and rest, since he's in Poplar Town, then send a few more people to take a look." The master said, glanced at it again, and the two people who were kneeling next to him froze, I don't know when, there was an extra needle in their hands, and said with a depressed face, "As long as I find him, I will deal with the rest of the things." ”

The person kneeling on the ground was trembling the whole time, and he was frightened to hear what the horse master said, so he slowly put down the big stone in his heart, slowly raised his head, and looked at the horse master, only to see a surprised smile on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was cold and arrogant.

"Yes, colt, we will do our best, but we will definitely find his whereabouts, let him leave the red thread in his hand, and work for the colt." As soon as the words fell, I saw a dark cloud in the sky, lightning and thunder for a while, and the rain gradually became smaller and larger, as if it was full of about to flood the whole house.

Suddenly, it poured down, and the pots of flowers on the ground fell to the ground, and the face of the horse suddenly changed greatly, and he put the petals on the ground in the palm of his hand, constantly attracting the fragrance of flowers, and slowly his face was filled with bleak light.

In this compound of the Horse Mansion, no one was happy with the heavy rain, the difference was that they looked sullen, looking at the downpour, completely covering the courtyard, and the smell of blood hidden in the shadows was gradually disappeared by this rain.

Everyone was paying attention to the downpour, and no one saw the flowers in the hands of the horse, he slowly raised his hand unconsciously, the red line gradually brightened a lot, a sinister face, and the corner of the horse's mouth showed a smile, but looking at the downpour in front of him, his face suddenly turned like earth.

Slowly stood up, walked to the door and watched, only to see this piece of rain gradually sinking into the soil, I don't know how many people, praying for this spring rain, and I don't know how many people are scolding this spring rain to the sky, it seems to come too timely, and it seems to come too suddenly, which makes people a little unguarded.

Poplar Town.

There was an eerie aura in the sky of Poplar Town, which was always the case during the day, not to mention at night.

"Guest, how many of you are there?" The shopkeeper said politely, with a smile on his face, smiling so brightly and so enthusiastically.

"One." A handsome man, carrying a basket of books, slowly sat down at the table.

Poplar Town, which is far away from the capital, after that time, after the appearance of the Red King, gradually lost the scenery of the past, the sky suddenly became dark, not as clear as before, strange things happened inside and outside Poplar Town, so that the villagers were bored, and they were not willing to live here, and gradually they all left.

The scholar looked at the little second in front of him, his face was stiff, his facial features seemed to be holding on, and he looked a little uncomfortable with a smile on his pale face, but since he chose to come to Poplar Town, he had already prepared for the worst, and he had to adapt to everyone here.

"Guest, the upper room is ready for you, and I'll take you there now. Xiao Er came to the scholar respectfully.

"Shopkeeper, I have a question for you, is there really a Red King in Poplar Town?" Before the words fell, Xiao Er looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Er was stunned, his pale face was a little more melancholy, depressed and desperate, and he didn't know how to answer.

"There are often ghosts in Poplar Town, the Red King is the leader of these souls, he has been here for a long time, he will naturally hear about it, if the guest officer is passing by here, just leave quickly, Poplar Town is a place of right and wrong, there is no good fruit to eat here." The shopkeeper said with a sincere face, and turned around and left after speaking.

The scholar looked at him with a depressed face, and the doubts in his heart kept tumbling, making him puzzled.
