In the middle of winter in Beijing, the northwest wind is blowing fiercely, and an ordinary courtyard house in Chaoyang ushered in four uninvited guests, three men and one woman, of different age levels, dressed very casually, but on the left chest are wearing a leader badge with a red background.

As soon as Liao Yang, the owner in his seventies, saw these four people, he knew from his eyes that nothing good would happen next, but he still forced himself to suppress the disgust in his heart and greeted him with a smile.

The five of them greeted each other in a cordial tone and hugged each other, and it seemed that their relationship was extraordinary.

At noon, Liao Yang prepared a wine and dinner to entertain the four friends who came from afar, and after three rounds of drinking, the woman was the representative to say the main topic.

"Elder Liao, you must have guessed our intention to come to the mansion today, right?"

Liao Yang smiled slightly and replied, "That's fragrant!" Knowing that you will come sooner or later, I know that paper can't hold the fire. ”

Speaking of this, Liao Yang's face suddenly became serious, and then he continued: "But let me state in advance that what happened in the Pamir Snow Lotus Cave has nothing to do with me Liao, and if you insist on blaming me for the death of your elders, I have nothing to say." ”

At this time, one of the three men drank a glass of white wine, put the wine glass on the table, stood up and spoke loudly: "Old Liao, you have misunderstood the intention of our trip, why don't I Qi Hu open the skylight and say something bright, our trip is for the ghost lantern, you better hurry up and invite it out!" ”

Liao Yang smiled slightly again and replied: "The ghost-faced lantern is a hoodoo thing, old man, I haven't been able to analyze the clues in it for a long time, what can you children do?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another middle-aged man also stood up and looked at Liao Yang and spoke: "Old Liao, let me Wansheng say something, the ghost lantern should be the wealth owned by our seven families, you have occupied it for so long, and you can't study its mystery because of your old incompetence, besides, the secret you can't see all the time, maybe we juniors can't see it, right?" ”

The meaning of the provocation could not be more obvious, and Liao Yang did not continue to speak, turned around and went straight to the wing room in the southeast corner of the small courtyard.

Soon, Liao Yang hurriedly returned to the room where he had spoken before holding a delicate wooden box carved from precious wood, placed it on the dining table steadily, stepped back a meter away, and said: "I said ugly things in front, if you don't make any progress in twenty minutes, I must put the ghost lantern back in its place, if there is any accident during the period, I will not be responsible, okay, I will go out to get some wine first, you can do it yourself." ”

As soon as Liao Yang left, the four people at the dinner table rushed forward to open the wooden box, only to see that the wooden box was full of mirror structures, and there was a dark green spherical artifact in the center of the wooden box, and the surface of the utensils was carved with all kinds of grimaces.

That is, not long after the wooden box was opened, the room was filled with a fragrance, and the four people present ignored it, and all four pairs of eyes stared directly at Lu Ban Suo.

At this time, Naxiang put on gloves, carefully took out the Luban lock from the wooden box, put it firmly on the table, and then took out a magnifying glass to observe it carefully, and sighed from time to time: "Good things, definitely good things, absolutely valuable." ”

Speaking of this, Naxiang reached out to touch those grimaces, but as soon as her hand touched Lu Ban's lock, the whole person suddenly jumped up from the ground and screamed loudly.

This scene startled the three men around them, and they all took a few steps back, and one of them shouted loudly: "Don't pretend to be a ghost, I don't have the patience to watch you play like this." ”

As soon as the words fell, the woman turned around and rushed towards the man who was speaking, and everyone present at this time saw her face clearly at this moment, her black charcoal-like face, completely milky white pupils, and her face was constantly distorted, as if it was burned by fire, and her appearance was extremely terrifying.

Among the three men present, Qi Hu Wansheng dodged faster, while the older man was grabbed by the woman's hand, and then he also cried wolf with the woman.

The two people standing in the distance glanced at each other, and then heard Wan Sheng speak: "This is too evil, right?" Big brother, what do you say? ”

"It must be the old immortal surnamed Liao who did something on the ghost lantern, you stay and continue to observe, and I'll go find the old boy."

As soon as he heard this, Wan Sheng grabbed Qi Hu's hand, took out the handcuffs from behind and handcuffed the two together, and then said: "Don't you want to slip away, you must find out about this matter today, otherwise no one will want to leave." ”

As he spoke, the men and women who were scuffling together on the ground had lost their human appearance, and the people had become shriveled up, like dried corpses, and there was no movement anymore. After this terrifying scene, the frightened Qi Hu and Wan Sheng calmed down a little for a while, Qi Hu trembled and reached out to take a chopstick, and wanted to turn around and stab the dried corpse on the ground, who knew that the moment the chopsticks touched the two dried corpses, the corpse that was already lifeless erupted again, and pressed Qi Hu to the ground is a burst of bites.

Listening to Qi Hu's screams, Wan Sheng's heart had already jumped to his throat, and he just wanted to run but found that his hands were handcuffed with Qi Hu's hands, and he hurriedly looked for the key, but it was too late.

The room was quiet again, except for the mess and the four dead men.

At this time, the door of the house was pushed open from the outside, and then a man laughed hideously, and soon the man walked into the house, and it could be seen from the way he walked that his left leg was a little lame, he glanced at the Luban lock on the table, knocked it to the ground, overturned the table, and poured out all the wine, and then took out a match, took out a flame, and threw it away, and the house was suddenly a sea of fire.

Before leaving, the man glanced at the Luban lock in the corner again, shook his head and said, "Old man Liao, it's up to you what to do this time!" ”
