With Ma Xiaoling, Li Sichen came to the door of the house next to the corridor. Reaching out and pushing it gently, the already rotten wooden door collapsed, stirring up a cloud of dust and a smoky musty smell.

"Well, it smells bad. Ma Xiaoling hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with her hands, and at the same time raised her mobile phone with the flashlight function turned on and took a picture of the room. "Oh my God, how long has it been since this place was inhabited? Not only is it moldy, it's grassy!"

The floor of this house was originally paved with a layer of green bricks. But because there was no one to live in for a long time, large patches of weeds grew from the cracks in the green bricks. At first glance, it's no different from a barren meadow.

"Since this place became a haunted mansion, I'm afraid no one has come in, right? It's been more than ten years. It's normal to have moldy grass grows. With that, Li Sichen walked into the house.

After some searching, Li Sichen did not find any clues. There was nothing in this house except for some broken debris.

"Probably not here. Shaking his head, Li Sichen walked out of the house. Soon, he went into another room next to him and began to search.

While following Li Sichen, Ma Xiaoling heard a sound of Xixisuo next to her, turned her head curiously, and saw a large area of countless grimace butterflies, perched on those dead golden-blooded Gu scorpions, and she didn't know what they were doing.

This scene of countless hideous grimaces coming together made Ma Xiaoling's heart pound again without fighting. After swallowing her saliva, she pulled the corner of Li Sichen's clothes and asked, "Teacher, what are these ghost-faced butterflies doing?"

Li Sichen glanced sideways and replied calmly, "What else can I do?" These ghost-faced butterflies, unlike ordinary butterflies, do not collect pollen and nectar for a living. They are also carnivorous insects. Speaking of which, you're lucky enough to have met me. Otherwise, if you fall to the ground and fall unconscious for a little longer, you will not be eaten by the Golden Blood Gu Scorpion, and you will also be eaten by these Grimace Butterflies. ”

"Hiss......" Ma Xiaoling gasped, and couldn't help but imagine in her mind the scene where she was being eaten by the Golden Blood Gu Scorpion and the Grimace Butterfly, and immediately fought several cold wars. The pace under his feet also sped up a few points, and he followed closely behind Li Sichen, not daring to fall behind.

Entering the room, Li Sichen searched carefully again, but still found nothing.

So, he went to the third room.

"Teacher, are you looking for something?" Ma Xiaoling couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.

"yes. Li Sichen nodded, and he was not afraid to let her know.

Ma Xiaoling originally wanted to ask Li Sichen what he was looking for, but after hesitating for a while, she finally dispelled this idea.

Although she is in the second middle school and comical, she is not stupid. She is well aware that everyone has secrets. If you are willing to say it, others will naturally say it. If you don't want to say it, it's useless to ask, and you may offend the other party.

In the following time, Li Sichen searched one house after another, but found no clues.

When Li Sichen frowned and walked out of the last house, Ma Xiaoling couldn't help but say: "Teacher, all the houses in this ghost mansion have been searched by you, and you still haven't found what you are looking for? Could it be that that thing is not in this ghost house at all?"

Li Sichen shook his head and said nothing.

Wu Qiuyu must have lived in this ghost mansion back then. There are only two reasons why no clues can be found. First, the clue was artificially destroyed, and second, the location of the clue was very hidden, and he had not yet discovered it.

Ma Xiaoling looked left and right, and muttered, "The rooms in the ghost house have been searched by you...... There's no way there's any hidden map in this place, right?"

Hide the map?

Do you think you're playing a game?

Li Sichen glanced at Ma Xiaoling angrily.

But soon, his expression changed.

Because he thought of a possibility.

"Hidden maps? Judging by the strange and bizarre layout of this place, maybe there really is a hidden map that we have overlooked. ”

"Huh?"

At this moment, it was Ma Xiaoling's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Teacher, I just mentioned it casually, you can't take it seriously, right?"

Li Sichen didn't bother to explain, and took out a feng shui compass directly from the small satchel he was carrying.

While pacing in the haunted mansion, Li Sichen watched the changes in the hands of the feng shui compass, and quickly calculated in his mind.

Ma Xiaoling was surprised and didn't understand what Li Sichen was doing this for. But she didn't ask any questions, just stood quietly and watched, so as not to disturb Li Sichen.

A few minutes later, Li Sichen, who was holding a feng shui compass, walked to the edge of the pond in the backyard of the haunted house.

Here, there is a rockery with a peculiar shape, and there is a vigorous bamboo forest.

"That's really the case......" Li Sichen looked at the changes on the feng shui compass, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

"What's wrong?" Ma Xiaoling hurriedly asked. She couldn't hold it anymore.

Li Sichen replied: "I really got you right, there is indeed a hidden room in this ghost mansion." Oh, just behind this rockery and bamboo forest. ”

"This can't be, right?" Ma Xiaoling opened her mouth wide and exclaimed, "I remember, we passed by this place several times just now, and we didn't see any hidden rooms." She stood on tiptoe and looked into the rockery and into the depths of the bamboo forest. It was dark inside, and nothing could be seen.

"If I say yes, there will be. Li Sichen's tone was very flat, but the confidence contained in it was amazing.

He walked towards the rockery and the depths of the bamboo forest.

Ma Xiaoling hurriedly followed, although she didn't say anything on her mouth, she couldn't help but question in her heart: "There is a hidden room behind the rockery and the bamboo forest?

After following Li Sichen around the rockery and bamboo forest for a while, a shocked expression appeared on Ma Xiaoling's face.

Because she found that the layout of these rockeries and bamboo forests was actually in line with the gossip of the Nine Palaces. In other words, this place, which seems to be a scenic spot, is actually a labyrinth. Not only can it block the view of people looking outside, but it can also disorient the person who intrudes into it and end up trapped inside.

Why is there such a rockery in the haunted house?

Was this something that existed in the first place, or was it built later, and what was the purpose of building it?

Ma Xiaoling's heart was filled with questions one after another.

And Li Sichen's heart is also full of questions.

He was sure that this rockery and bamboo forest maze must have been built by the same people who turned this mansion into a 'ghost house'. I just don't know, why are they doing this, what are they trying to cover up?
