Chapter 10 Autumn Outing
The moment I saw the master, my heart immediately flooded with warmth. I don't know exactly what caused this feeling, but I can deduce that it was the excitement of seeing a loved one.
The man on the mirror didn't speak, but just looked me up and down with his crystalline eyes, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and teased: "Boy, the master is not here, why have you become so thin?" ”
"Master, don't make fun of me, my figure only appeared after cultivating the Heavenly Punishment of the Sacrificial Dao, although it looks a little thin, but it is quite sturdy." As if I felt that the topic was being pulled away by the master, I hurriedly stopped my reply, and took out the photo in my pocket, and asked angrily: "Master, do you know this old guy?" ”
The master looked in the direction of my finger, and after a while, the master shook his head and said in a low voice, "I haven't seen him, who is he?" Did you ask him something? ”
"Master, this guy led me into an empty ghost car last night, and it seems to be trying to kill me!" As soon as my words came out, my master's expression immediately became angry, and a pair of thick eyebrows were twisted together, which was really very similar to Zhong Kui, who caught ghosts in the underworld, except that the master had less beard than Zhong Kui.
"Could it be those guys from Qianshanmen again? Hmph, some of my puppet Lei's apprentices dare to move, and they are really impatient. As soon as these words came out, I immediately felt warm in my heart, even if the master didn't take care of them at the moment, I was already content.
But at this moment, the master's words changed sharply, and he began to target me: "But, then again, boy, you are also enough to be a nest, as my puppet Lei's apprentice, and you are familiar with the sacrificial path of "Sacrificial Dao Heavenly Punishment", it is really embarrassing for me to be able to make this kind of goods calculated." ”
"Master, I don't know the sinister nature of the human heart when I first arrived, but don't worry, sooner or later, I'll live a life for you to see." Being reprimanded by the master, not only did I not feel aggrieved, but I was a little happy in my heart. After all, as long as the current master still trains me, it proves that he has not given up on me.
"Well, this is still like a sentence, let's say, what else is there, you spent a lot of aura to meet me on the sixteenth, there should be more than this to ask, right?" The master was quite satisfied with what I had just said, but in his opinion, I would never spend a lot of aura to meet him because of this matter.
"Well, there is a more important thing, master, I was admitted to the university, but there seems to be some problems with the layout of our school's dormitory building." As I spoke, I lifted the spirit mirror in front of me, and then sent it directly to the window, pointed to the location of the center of the lake not far away, and asked: "Master, look, in the center of the lake, there is a two-story building, and our dormitory building as a whole is a mouth-shaped, so don't you directly surround it in the middle?" ”
"It's a bit of a problem, but it's not in your dorm building, I don't know exactly what's going on. Only after looking at the terrain can you give you a satisfactory answer. However, what I can tell you is that there is definitely something wrong with this small building in the middle of the lake. Although the master is profound, he can't give an exact answer if he doesn't have a specific look at the local terrain. After all, Feng Shui issues are not trivial matters and must be taken seriously.
"Knowing the master, I'll record all the terrain around here tomorrow, and I'll show it to you the next time we meet." After following the master for so long, although I can't learn the master's profundity, I have learned a lot about the strange charm of the master.
"Hmm." Nodding in response, the master's expression suddenly became nervous, and then he pointed to the small building not far away, and scolded sharply: "Bold evil thing, my puppet thunder is here, you dare to go out to make a mistake, and your courage is really not small." ”
Looking in the direction of the master's finger, I only saw a cloud of red smoke at the top of the small building at this moment, and in the smoke, I seemed to be able to faintly see a pair of emerald green eyes staring at me by the window.
Startled by the master's scolding, the red smoke gradually faded, and finally disappeared at the top of the small building.
"Hmph, it seems that there should be something in this small building in the middle of the lake, and it can't be exposed to sunlight all year round, so this weird thing will happen now. As for the red smoke you just saw, it should be an illusion released by the monster in the building, and I can't tell you what its true body is, but it's definitely a walking corpse. At this point, the master's expression became serious. I knew that every time the master put on this expression, it must be announcing something important.
"Boy, you hurry up and investigate tomorrow to see if there have been any deaths of students in this school, and those who died outside the school are counted. As long as it's a strange thing that has something to do with this school, you can count it, and maybe the monster's body will have something to do with these things. After that, the master yawned a lot, then smiled bitterly, and said softly: "Okay, it's not too early, I'll go to bed first." ”
As soon as the words fell, the image on the mirror suddenly became in a trance, but at the moment when the image was about to disappear, the stern voice of the master came out again, and reminded me: "Boy, remember not to get close to the small building in the middle of the lake, otherwise, if something goes wrong at that time, I will not be responsible." ”
With a faint smile, I hurriedly put the materials all over the floor into my bag, and then hid them in my special cabinet before slowly sitting down on the bed next to me. The moment I sat down, my mind couldn't help but recall what the master had just said.
"It seems that this small building is indeed the same as I originally suspected, to hide an unknown secret. Hehe, hurry up and rest, there are still things to do tomorrow. Whispering to myself, I rolled over and lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.
At this moment, I didn't realize that Liu Daring and Xu Kun hadn't come back yet. It was precisely because of this negligence of mine that I made a mistake that I regretted for the rest of my life
The moment the warm sunlight shines through the window, I am awakened from a sweet dream. However, what puzzled me was that the moment I woke up, Liu Daring and Xu Kun did not appear as I imagined, and even their beds were neatly made at the moment, as if they did not come back at all last night.
Confused, I dialed Liu Daring's phone, but what I responded to was a prompt that meant the phone was turned off. And when I dialed Xu Kun's mobile phone, the response to me was the same as the former.
"Where did these two go? Why didn't you come back all night? Did you follow my example? No, if only the two of them hadn't come back, then Uncle Housekeeper should have asked me when he came to check the room, and Uncle Housekeeper didn't show up last night, what the hell is going on? As my mind continued to speculate, the doubts in my heart became a little thicker, and along with the doubts, there was a chill.
"They're not going to have an accident, are they?" Whispering to myself, I hurriedly got up from the bed, put on my coat and ran out of the room, only to see that the corridor was empty today, and the silence was frightening.
Walking briskly to the outside of the dormitory building, I only saw the bulletin board not far away, surrounded by students. I think the strange phenomenon in the corridor today should be related to the things on this bulletin board.
Under this psychological trend, I pushed through the crowd and went inside, only to see a big red notice posted on the bulletin board at this moment.
The notice shows that in order to celebrate the arrival of new students, the school has recently held an autumn outing to promote the relationship between students. The autumn outing takes place at Phoenix Manor, on the outskirts of the north of the city, and is open to all students.
Accommodation is all-inclusive, and the travel expenses are paid by yourself. Students who are able to do so can drive to it by themselves.
As soon as this notice was issued, a wave of discussion was immediately set off in the school. However, although the opportunity was good, no one from the juniors and seniors participated. After all, they are now at the peak of their studies, and if their grades are good, the school will implement a plan to send ten of them abroad. Therefore, for the sake of just ten places, many students are trying their best.
Therefore, they simply did not have the extra heart to get out of their places to participate in the autumn outing activities held by the school.
As for the final number of applicants, there were only about 400 people in total. Although the number of people is not too large, the momentum created by the school is quite large. So much so that on the day we saw the notice, many restaurants came to our school to deliver flyers, and claimed that they could provide food delivery services during the autumn outing.
There are also many car rental companies that come to our dormitory to distribute leaflets, saying that the price of car rental during the autumn trip has been greatly reduced, and renting an ordinary car is only 300 yuan a day. Although this price seems to me to be quite high, in the first-tier city where I am now, the price is relatively low.
As soon as I saw the information about the rental company, I rented a nice SUV. After all, I don't need to take the hot and stuffy bus, and renting a car will not only relieve the stress of taking the bus, but also make it extremely convenient to carry all the luggage we need.
After everything was ready, and the scheduled date for the autumn outing was almost the same, we discussed with our mentor and drove to the Phoenix Manor in the north of the city.
And the moment we set foot on the journey to Phoenix Manor, a real nightmare really began.
