No, it's not a ghost! After reacting to where this terrible scream came from.

I woke up from my sleep, and then jumped out of bed and hurried towards the courtyard.

At this time, the Tiger Guards were already guarding the surroundings with swords, and the rooms where the Shangshu adults lived were also lit with candles, and everyone was vigilant.

"Miss Xiao Xiao, why did you come out?"

Yue Tian was a little surprised by my appearance, he looked around and hurriedly protected me behind him, and said, "This place is dangerous, you better go back to the house as soon as possible." ”

Actually, if I had known that the Tiger Guards were guarding outside, I wouldn't have rushed out.

The screams from the mountain behind the small courtyard continued to come, and the sound was piercing and terrible.

"What's going on?" Mu Bin said to himself with some puzzlement.

"Some people want to take the back mountain path into the Tanxi Valley."

"Back mountain path?"

Everyone was confused, not to mention them, I was puzzled, who dared to walk the forbidden area of Tanxi Valley.

Squeak –

The door of the west room suddenly opened, and when I looked at the sound, I saw Lord Bai of the Military Department, Lord Murong of the Criminal Department, and Mu Yunze, the king of Beining, walking out back and forth.

Wait, Mu Yunze! How did he end up here, when he came, how I don't know.

Countless question marks popped up in my head, and my eyes widened to make sure I was looking at the wrong person!

Seeing my surprised gaze, Mu Yunze smiled and said, "What's wrong with you?" I haven't seen this king for a few days, don't you know him? ”

I'll go, it's really Mu Yunze, how can this kid be so elusive!

"It's really a prince, when did you come, why didn't you inform me?" I hurriedly laughed.

"The third watch came, Mu Bin opened the door, and he didn't bother you when he saw you sleeping." Mu Yunze explained "shamelessly".

Heh, I glanced at Mu Bin, these people are really born and cooked twice, they take this place as their own home, and they don't tell the owner when they open the door.

"Miss Xiao Xiao, is there a mechanism on this path?" Mu Bin saw that my eyes were vicious, and quickly changed the topic.

"Yes! And a lot. ”

"How can there be so many mechanisms?"

"I don't know, Master only said that there is a mechanism in the back mountain, so don't go there if you have nothing to do. However, in my long time, I have met someone who has walked a path. ”

I don't know who it is, the mountain behind Tanxi Valley is a forbidden place, this is a well-known thing in the rivers and lakes, unless those people don't mix with the rivers and lakes, otherwise, it is impossible not to know.

After a while, the screams around slowly disappeared, and I don't know if all the people were wiped out or if those people saw that the death in front of them was too miserable and they didn't dare to try it easily.

"Alas, may the dead be reborn soon!"

I sighed, and seeing that nothing had happened to me, I was ready to go back to my room and go back to sleep.

Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly thought of something, turned around and warned everyone in the courtyard: "Don't blame me for not saying it in advance, don't think about checking the corpses of those people, otherwise, the end will be the same as them, and the immortals of the back mountain mechanism can't save them." ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded obediently.

Lying back in bed, there is no sleep, and my head is always thinking about who is walking the path?

And also......

I should have returned the wooden box to Mu Yunze just now!

"Miss Xiao Xiao, are you asleep?" Mu Bin shouted softly outside the door, like a thief.

But at this time, why did he come to me?

"Didn't sleep, is there something wrong?" I asked, getting up and opening the door.

Mu Bin looked around and said in a low voice, "The prince and the two Shangshu lords have something I want to ask you about. ”

Excuse me, what is there to ask me in the middle of the night, it can't be that they also want to study medicine, right? I don't take apprentices.
