18. Xiaoshihu Hutong
Xiaoshihu Hutong is located in the Xidan commercial center, and it is just a small red dot on the map. This is incompatible with the surrounding business district environment
This courtyard is a standard building in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
The courtyard still retains the architectural style of the early Qing Dynasty, with a roof made of blue brick walls and green tiles...... The rooms looked like black beasts in the night, or behemoths that had been eroded and broken by time, and the thick fog added to the gloomy atmosphere.
The ancient house has changed hands several times, it is said that Wu Sangui's son lived here at the earliest, and later Cao Xueqin, a generation of literary giants, lived here; Later, it was converted into an elementary school...... Later, the city was expanded, and this generation was demolished into a commercial area, but somehow only this courtyard was preserved.
The three of them looked around vigilantly, only to see Gu Nai walking straight towards the direction where the woman's chanting sound came from, and Jiang Zhang and the others hurriedly followed behind to avoid getting separated. The sound of silk and bamboo surrounds this space for a long time.
Gu Nai walked outside the main house, the door of the main room was long gone, and the corners were covered with cobwebs. She stood in front of the door for a few seconds, her fingers gently touched the pillar on the side of the door, and whispered: "Dian Chongao, the emperor prescribes to admiration, poetry and beauty Suyong, Wang Ji Yong is ......"
This sentence was originally awarded to a sentence in the book when Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty crowned his sister and the eldest princess, and Gu Nai didn't know how this sentence appeared in his mind.
"Imperial Daughter......" Gu Nai muttered to herself. With that, she approached the room and looked around, Yan Zhong with a slightly dazed look.
Passing through the back hall, the room used to be the master bedroom of a large family. Gu Nai stepped into the door of the room, and stepped on the same serpentine pattern painted with paint on the ground outside the courtyard wall.
Scenes appeared in Gu Nai's eyes: men and women dressed in Qing Dynasty costumes all around. These people are dressed differently, and it can be seen that they have different status in this family. There was a festive music, and the old lady-like person helped a little girl with a red hijab out of the sedan chair and into the mansion, followed by a little palace maid of a similar age.
Jiang Hao and Zhang Dashuai saw a different scene, those dressed in Manchu costumes, carrying lanterns walking back and forth in the courtyard. Completely ignore the three of them. They saw Gu Nai standing still, and Zhang Fanchen said, "Forensic Doctor Gu, why don't you leave?" ”
Jiang Hao said: "Don't move, this is a battle within a formation." She stepped on the phantom array. ”
Zhang Fanchen's face was shocked: "There is a layer of trapped formation outside that wants us to have no return; The phantom array is a spiritual attack, and you can only get out of it by relying on your own mind if you fall into it. If her mind is not firm and she is found by the illusion, the most vulnerable part of her heart, in case she takes advantage of the situation to trigger the demons in her heart, what should Gu Nai do? “
Jiang Hao said in a deep voice: "It takes a lot of time to arrange these formations. The ability of the people who set up the formation is not lower than that of you and me, and the Taoist formation used is combined with the secret method of the ghost clan, do you know such a person? ”
"I don't know." Zhang Dashuai didn't dare to move now, for fear of stepping on any offensive formations again.
"This girl doesn't look like a person of poor mind. You take a good look at her, I'll go find the girl. After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he carefully identified the direction. After walking a few steps, Zhang Dashuai couldn't see his shadow.
This can't be blamed on Jiang Hao acting alone, Lu Jia and Leng Xiaotang still don't know what the situation is, whether there is any danger, the signals are all interfered with, and the phone can't get through. The identity of this master and adoptive father, can you not worry.
Zhang Dashuai didn't dare to take a single step, he was afraid that after leaving, secretly peeking into their eyes would be detrimental to Gu Nai. Gu Nai is now trapped in the phantom array, without any ability to resist, and a five-year-old child can pose a threat to her.
Zhang Dashuai stood beside Gu Nai, while being vigilant about the accidents that might occur around him, and at the same time estimating the situation that the combat strength of the three people was only Jiang Hao could deal with, and said in his heart that with Jiang Hao's ability, there should be no danger.
Where are the two people they were looking for, Leng Xiaotang and Lu Jia, now?
The two girls came to Xiaoshihu Hutong and stopped, and everyone nearby knew that there were ten ghost houses in No. 33 courtyard of Xiaoshihu Hutong. Not to mention at night, no one comes in during the day. In this gloomy and broken place, there was a breath in Lu Jia's body that was about to move, and that breath was that the black snake smelled the dead breath in the courtyard, and it was already a little restless.
The black-cloaked man who was following the two of them also stopped, and climbed over the courtyard wall in front of their eyes. The girl in the back moved more slowly, and the wide hat on her head slipped off as she turned over, revealing half of her face.
Lu Jia saw the girl's face and shouted out loud: "Qiqi! Seventy-seven! Seeing Qiqi enter the courtyard, he jumped onto the wall before he had time to think about it. Not to mention that Lu Jia really has potential, and her body becomes extremely flexible when she is in a hurry.
Lu Jia's movements were slower than Qiqi's, and when she climbed over the wall, she hung the new skirt she had just changed in the mall on the iron wall too long. She didn't get it right after two tuggings, so she simply took out a dagger and cut her skirt open. I don't know what Wu Xiang will think when he sees the dagger that he used as a demon slaying blade being used by Lu Jia like this at this moment.
In the two seconds of delay, Qiqi and Mora had already run away, and they were about to be shrouded in thick fog.
Leng Xiaotang also jumped in and asked Lu Jia: "Jiajia, are you right?" Is it really Qiqi? ”
"That's right! Pursue! Qiqi is with Mora! Lu Jia didn't have time to say so much to Leng Xiaotang, and chased after the two black backs. Things have changed, it was the men in black who were following them, and now they are tracking the men in black.
They chased after each other, through room to room, to the last.
Qiqi is gone, and Mora is gone.
This room is the most lifeless place in the whole courtyard. In other words, there is a large number of necromancy gathered here. Lu Jia looked at the "people" who were constantly wandering in the room, these ghosts in the ordinary concept of dead souls were different, they had all lost their spirits.
"Jiajia, what are you doing standing here? What about Seven-Seven? In Leng Xiaotang's eyes, Lu Jia was standing stupidly. Lu Jia only remembered when he heard Leng Xiaotang's culture that Leng Xiaotang couldn't see the necromancer.
"I don't know......" Lu Jia said softly.
"Shall we continue looking?" Little Sugar said.
"Maybe she doesn't want to be found by us right now." Lu Jia was a little helpless. She herself couldn't understand why Qiqi and Mora had brought the two of them here.
Suddenly, Lu Jia saw a somewhat familiar shadow among those dead spirits, and she quickly went through the faces she had seen recently in her mind, and finally remembered: "Wang Jia." ”
Wang Jia's necromancer is here, and the murderer who killed Wang Jia is likely to be in this courtyard. Moreover, these deprived necromancers are like being confined to this room, so they can't find an exit no matter how much they wander.
People are trapped by invisible things and can't find an exit, they may have encountered a ghost hitting the wall, or they may encounter a trap arranged by a master.
So what did the ghost encounter when he was trapped by something he couldn't see?
