Suddenly, Chen Zixi's eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly withdrew his internal force, and swept the sword edge to the side, and the long sword slashed through a woman's sideburns at this time, and suddenly, several green silks were shaved off.

The woman sat down on the ground, looked at him with a frightened face, and trembled: "You, who are you?" ”

Chen Zixi's long sword was pressed against the woman's throat, and he asked with a gloomy face, "Who are you?" ”

The woman seemed to be frightened by his eerie appearance, and looked at him as if she had seen a ghost.

"Say! Why pretend to be a ghost! Seeing that she didn't speak, Chen Zixi's voice suddenly became a little louder.

"No, it's not me." The woman reclined under the porch with a pale face, her body huddled together, her voice so small and almost inaudible.

"It's not you......" Chen Zixi's eyes darkened, just like a Shura rising up from the abyss, looking down on her: "It's not you, why did you appear here as a woman in the middle of the night!" ”

The woman was frightened by his roar, her little face turned pale, her big black and white eyes stared, tears kept rolling in her eyes, and she couldn't even speak clearly: "I, I, I ......"

At this time, a strange cry sounded again, whimpering like someone pinching the neck of a resentful woman, and a sharp cry came out of the throat, which reached the ears of the three with the wind moaning.

Si Ying screamed and crawled from the clearing, staggered and hugged Chen Zixi, and said with a cry: "Female ghost, female ghost is here again!" ”

The woman was also frightened by the cry, and her body curled up together.

Chen Zixi's eyes probed inch by inch on her face, and then he snorted coldly and put away his sword, turned to look at the open space that separated the two courtyards, the moonlight was pale on the ground, and a layer of frost formed in a trance, and the autumn solstice overnight.

The crying continued, as if someone was crying in his ear, Chen Zixi walked towards the clearing, and Si Ying followed behind him.

"Wait, wait for me." The woman on the corridor suddenly called the two of them, Chen Zixi turned around and frowned, but saw the woman's tears hanging on her cheeks, her face was frightened, and she cried: "Don't leave me here, I, I'm afraid." ”

Chen Zixi didn't say anything, Si Ying beckoned to her, and said, "Come on, come quickly, there are many people with great strength, and ghosts are afraid of yang energy." ”

The woman's face was overjoyed when she heard this, she got up and stumbled a few times because of her weak legs, followed behind Si Ying, glanced at Chen Zixi uneasily, saw that his face was still gloomy, lowered her head with palpitations, and thought about it: "I, I'm not a ghost, I'm a maid in the palace." ”

"Maid?" Si Ying turned her head to look at her, looked at her, and saw that she looked delicate, wearing the clothes of a maidservant, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing here as a maid in the middle of the night?" ”

"I'm ......" The woman lowered her head, and before she could answer, Chen Zixi in front of her suddenly stopped.

Si Ying didn't have time to retract his steps, and hit his head on his back, and his nose happened to hit his shoulder, which made his tears float out.

"You!"

Chen Zixi suddenly stretched out his hand to signal him to silence, raised his long sword, glanced around, and whispered, "Someone." ”

Si Ying hurriedly took out a dagger and put it on his chest, but he took two steps to the side, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned his head suddenly, and a sharp knife beside him swept silently from his neck at this moment, he didn't have time to scream, but Chen Zixi's long sword came horizontally, and with a bang, the two blades met.

The sharp knife was thrown out, and while looking past, the man in black had disappeared without a trace in the night.

Si Ying didn't walk out in fright, her mouth opened in shock, and the woman seemed to be stupid, looking straight at the corridor a few feet away in front of her, I don't know if she was in a trance, or lost her soul, suddenly like a demon stunned, turned around and ran.

Chen Zixi's footsteps were momentary, his body was one step ahead of her, he raised his hand and grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of him, and said angrily: "Where are you going?" ”

The woman's eyes stared straight at the end of the corridor, pursed her lips and said nothing, and there was a strange cry around her, which was endless, but as the wind stopped, the woman's cry was gone.

Only the faint sound of the gurgling water a few miles away outside the wall was faint, and it was particularly ominous in the night.

Chen Zixi twisted her eyebrows and looked at her sight, there are two corner doors between the two courtyards, the middle corridor is connected, the corridor is circuitous, ten turns and eight times, and the clumps of lilacs under the corridor are hung with crystal evening dew, stretching branches and leaves, exuding bursts of fragrance.

Chen Zixi's expression gradually became solemn, let go of the woman's wrist, raised her leg and walked towards the corridor.

"Don't go!" The woman suddenly reached out and tugged at his sleeve, looking at Chen Zixi with fear in her eyes and shaking her head desperately.

"Why not?" Chen Zixi's voice was cold.

The woman pursed her lips and lowered her face, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her other hand but not saying a word.

The soft and fragrant floral fragrance rushed into her nose, Chen Zixi ignored her, pulled back her sleeve, and looked at the corridor as usual.

The moonlight shone on his deep features, and a round of white light shone out dimly, and he raised his legs and walked towards the corridor.

"Childe." The woman spoke suddenly.

Chen Zixi leaned sideways and waited for her words, the woman hesitated for a moment, but the corners of her lips twitched but she never spoke.

"Gee, what the hell are you trying to say." Si Ying became anxious and urged beside her.

The woman's eyes were slightly red, but she cried, Si Ying was immediately excited, her voice was as frightening as the woman's cry.

"The palace is haunted." The woman finally spoke, her eyes still with a hint of struggle, but she still said: "I've seen it, it, it eats people and doesn't spit out bones!" ”

"You've seen ghosts before!" Si Ying's eyes widened unconsciously, and his body trembled again: "Where is it, where is the ghost, is it here!" ”

The woman shook her head, looked at the end of the corridor, the corner door was dark, she retracted her gaze in panic, bit her lip and said, "I can't say, I promised it can't say!" ”

Si Ying's body softened like tofu, and his legs trembled fiercely: "Who, who did you promise, it's a ghost, you promised a ghost!" ”

The woman nodded, Chen Zixi glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, snorted coldly, and walked indifferently through the path, through the splendid staircase, and stood in front of the lilac bush.

"I'm here to see what this ghost looks like!"

He stepped forward and picked up the half-human-tall lilac bushes, only to feel a bloody breath mixed with the fragrance of flowers rushing to his face, Chen Zixi frowned.

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, Si Ying couldn't help but look at the woman, and the woman also looked at him in surprise.

The two of them raised their legs together and walked towards Chen Zixi, standing next to the flowers and following his gaze, the corpse hiding there immediately crashed into everyone's eyes!

It was a man whose face was as pale as paper, his face was no longer visible, the upper half of his body was cut off with flesh and blood, and the waist down, cut off by a sharp blade, leaving only half of his leg hanging alone.

Blood was streaked on his body, but his eyes were wide open, and there was still horror and hatred in his eyes, but he was too dead to die.

Si Ying and the woman fainted without even making a sound.

——

The sky is bright, Si Ying didn't sleep well this night, there was always a woman in the dream and a man who was half of his body scuffling together, he screamed in horror, but the two of them turned around to look at Si Ying who suddenly appeared, and the two of them dragged their bodies towards him with their eyes wide open.

"I died so miserably......"

"My legs, my legs, did you take my legs!"

"Mom, help! Help me!! Si Ying sat up in shock, her lips trembling violently with fear.

"You're awake." Chen Zixi hugged his chest at the head of the bed and stared at him coldly.

Si Ying seemed to feel that he had never heard such a nice voice in his life, jumped up from the bed, hugged him like a life-saving straw, and cried loudly: "Zixi, there are two ghosts who want to grab me, and they want my legs." ”

Chen Zixi looked down at the person trembling in his arms, couldn't help but laugh, raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Didn't Si Da catch the head swear that he wanted to catch ghosts?" Why haven't the ghost seen it yet, and I'm scared to pee my pants first. ”

Si Ying couldn't hear his taunts, and hugged his crying snot with both hands.

"Huh?" A woman's exclamation came from the door, and the two looked for the sound, and saw that the woman of last night was standing at the door with a medicine bowl at this time, looking at them in shock, and said, "You, you..."

Chen Zixi wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at the woman at the door, always feeling that a strangeness came from her, but she couldn't tell what was weird.

Si Ying got down from Chen Zixi, looked at the woman at the door, and wondered, "It's you, why are you here." ”

"It was ordered by the young lady." The woman lowered her head and spoke softly.

"Young lady?" Si Ying frowned and remembered that when Steward Wang made things difficult for the two of them yesterday, the blue figure at the end of the corridor relieved them, and couldn't help but have a good impression of her: "Now that there is a life-threatening matter in your palace, I don't know if your young lady has not reported to the official?" ”

The woman lowered her eyebrows and shook her head, raised the corner of her eyes and glanced at Chen Zixi, who had been staring at her coldly, her body trembled again, and her voice became more and more low: "The young lady said ......"

"Say what?" Chen Zixi suddenly made a cold sound, so frightened that the woman's hand shook, the hot medicinal juice spilled out, her face turned pale, and she endured the pain but did not make a sound.

"Girl, you're not burned, are you?" Si Ying saw her with a look of pity for me, and couldn't help but feel pity.

The woman lowered her head and shook her head, Si Ying suddenly softened her voice and asked her, "So, what did your young lady say?" ”

The woman raised her head and looked at Si Ying, but her voice was like a mosquito fly: "The young lady of my family said that the head catcher has already arrived at the house, so why bother to report to the official in one fell swoop." ”

Si Ying was immediately startled when he heard this, and exchanged glances with Chen Zixi.

When the woman had finished what she had to say, she put the medicine bowl on the table and ran away.

Chen Zixi looked at the brown medicinal juice, sank his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "This young lady is not simple. ”
