Leng Yue and I walked in the night, looking at the surrounding bamboo forest, but we couldn't see the answer to a single puzzle.

Continuing along the road on the right, we didn't go far, we saw a circular arch with a plaque on the door, and the word "Cui Lou" was written on it.

The system of this kind of door is called the Moon Cave Gate. It is the doorway of the Chinese classical garden architecture like a round of fifteen full moons.

The corridor room that extends out to the left and right of the moon cave door, embraces Jiuquan inward, the eaves are painted, quaint and quiet, it is a typical Ming and Qing style.

According to the rules handed down from ancient times, this kind of door only has a door plaque and no couplet.

I don't know the specific reason, maybe it has something to do with history, maybe it has something to do with Feng Shui, but it definitely has nothing to do with me.

Behind that door was a single-story building, with double doors open and it was pitch black inside, and it was unknown what was hidden inside.

Leng Yue didn't say hello, and walked in directly.

I hesitated after him and followed.

He is looking for things, I am looking for people, and there is no conflict.

If he can really help me find Zhao Zitong and let me take him out of this ancient mansion safely, I will give him the relief orb, what can I do?

The double-opened wooden door opened softly, and Leng Yue entered it, her footsteps silent, like a ghost.

I followed him into the mansion.

The old house was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers, so I used the flashlight beam to illuminate the left and right, and I saw that the room was covered with stone platforms.

On each stone platform, there is a potted plant, which depicts different scenery and expresses different tastes.

In a dark corner, next to a wooden table, a light suddenly lit up, and a man raised his head from the ink on rice paper and looked at us.

A beam of light, inexplicably, shone directly on the man.

The man raised his head and smiled: "What is the courtesy?" ”

Leng Yue stepped forward silently, took out the pair of metal chopsticks from her backpack as she walked, and stabbed at the man without saying a word.

"Poof!"

With a muffled sound, the man turned into smoke and dispersed as if it had never appeared.

It all happened between the lightning and flint, and I stood there a little dazed.

Leng Yue put away the pair of iron chopsticks, bowed slightly to the wooden case, and then began to look around.

I looked at the scene in front of me and felt like I was in a dream.

Everything seems so ethereal, everything is so unrealistic.

Leng Yue searched every corner of the house, but he didn't find what he needed, so he patted the dust on his body, shook his head helplessly, and then turned around and walked out of the house.

I looked at Leng Yue's back, and finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in my heart, and asked loudly, "How do you distinguish between illusion and reality?" ”

The reason why he was able to shatter the phantom in front of the wooden case with his first reaction must be that he knew the difference between the illusory and the real in this place, so he was able to make a decisive choice on the spot.

Leng Yue stood at the door and stopped, did not look back, and replied lightly: "Guess." ”

I finally figured it out, and asking him is equivalent to not asking, not only will I not get an answer, but I will make myself very unhappy.

After sighing helplessly, I quickly followed Leng Yue out of the old mansion.

Maybe Leng Yue realized that this road was a bit old-fashioned, and this time he took the initiative to say to me: "Actually, we are already underground. ”

I was amazed by this, and stood still, frowning and silent.

If I'm not mistaken, when the fog rose, I was obviously above the surface, so how could I go underground for no apparent reason?

I stood outside the moon cave door and looked up at the sky, but all I saw was endless mist, but I couldn't see a trace of moonlight and starlight.

Am I really in the underworld before I know it?

Just when I was standing still, unable to believe what Leng Yue said, suddenly an exclamation sounded in the distance, piercing the night sky and coming from afar.

I asked Leng Yue, "Did you hear that?" ”

Leng Yue nodded, waved her hand at me, and rushed out in the direction where the voice came from.

I followed him, hoping that the owner of the scream was Zhao Zitong, but I didn't expect it.

This extremely contradictory mood is not understood by everyone.

We hadn't gone far when we were stopped by a boulder.

Leng Yue waved at me, stopped me, and then said to me, "Be careful!"

I was puzzled, and I didn't know what he meant by caution. Is it for me to be careful with a stone?

Suddenly, the stubborn stone moved, and it rolled towards me and Cold Moon.

There are many hollows in the middle of the stone, which is a kind of Taihu stone, which is very valuable, and it is expected that the owner of the ancient house paid a lot of money to transport it back.

The shape of the Taihu stone is very peculiar, it seems to have a head and a torso, but it has no limbs, and the head has two horns, like a demon.

It stopped in the middle of the road in that shape, and I don't know if it was originally designed in that place, or if it suddenly had a consciousness and ran to stop us.

Leng Yue whispered, "Stay away." ”

When I heard this, I was a little upset.

It's been many years, and when I encounter dangerous things, I've always been at the forefront, and I've never let others stand in front of me.

I admit that compared to the cold month in front of me, there are many areas where I am not competent, but after all, I am the leader of my team, and I have my own rules of doing things.

Leng Yue saw that I didn't listen to him, and said lightly: "It's sick." ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and asked angrily, "Could it be that you have medicine?" ”

Leng Yue didn't answer, stepped on the ground, rose into the air, waved the iron chopsticks in his hand, and stabbed towards the Taihu Lake stone on that side.

"Bang Bang ......"

In the continuous sound, the Taihu Lake stone shattered into dust, scattered with the wind, and made way.

Leng Yue blew away the dust on the iron chopsticks and said lightly: "I'm not used to it." ”

I asked myself, I might have made many choices in such an abnormal situation, but I would never attack the other party as directly as Cold Moon did.

Leng Yue taught me a lesson: many times, it may be better to do something directly than to think too much about the choices made.

When the smoke cleared, the road ahead of us was finally revealed.

However, what I didn't expect at all was that the road in front of us turned out to be the road we had walked.

At this time, in front of me and Leng Yue, a bamboo forest appeared, and there was a road to our left and right.

In my impression, we used to walk such a road, and Leng Yue chose the right road in the form of a coin toss.

But, for some unknown reason, we returned to this place.

This time, instead of flipping a coin, Leng Yue turned around and asked me, "Which way to go?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, I pointed to the road on the right and said, "Go this way." ”

Leng Yue looked at me with some confusion, as if she didn't understand why I would make such a choice.

I said, "If the things here don't want us to go this way, then this side must be in our favor." ”

"Okay."

After listening to what I said, Leng Yue expressed her approval, and walked towards the road to the right.
