Chapter 66: The Haunted House
Yuxin lowered her head and thought about it, biting her lip, "If you come, you will enter it, go." ”
"Wait." I reached out and grabbed her arm and whispered.
"What's wrong?" Yuxin asked.
I shook my head and looked around, and saw in the distance a stack of wheat straw, about a room high, next to a stout poplar tree.
"Come on."
I pulled Yuxin to the wheat straw stack, looked up at the height of the tree, and stuffed the bag containing the magic vessel into Yuxin's hand.
"Wait here, I'll climb up the tree and take a look."
Yuxin glanced up, "You have to be careful. ”
"Hmm."
I stepped back about four or five meters, ran a few steps, grabbed the straw, and 'rubbed' to the top of the stack.
"Hey, I've improved, haven't I?" I whispered downward.
"Okay." Yuxin said.
I smiled, took a breath, put my arms around the tree, and climbed up. The tree was too thick for me to hold, and the tree was very smooth, so it was hard to climb. When I reached the height of about two or three stories, I couldn't climb anymore, so I crossed my legs and rode on a branch of a branched tree, and I took a few breaths as I looked out over the village.
The village is indeed quite large, but there are no tall houses, so, by all means, I should be able to see the whole village from my height. But it was too dark, there was no light in the village, and in the distance, only a misty patch could be seen.
"Cold, how's it going?" Yu Xin asked below.
"I can't see clearly," I said.
Before the words fell, my heart sank sharply, for I realized that the reason why I could not see the whole village was not caused by the darkness, but because there was something like a fog floating above the village...
"Holy shit..."
I slapped my hand on the leg, and the branch that I was riding under my ass broke, and I leaned and got into the straw stack under my head and feet.
Tumbling down from the straw stack, I wiped my face with a 'poof' and a 'poof'.
"Stupid." Yuxin said angrily, and helped me remove the wheat straw from my head one by one with her hands.
I smiled awkwardly.
"What do you see?" Yuxin asked, "Have you seen the house that the man who stole the child said?" ”
"No, I can't see clearly, there's something like fog floating above the village."
"Fog? How can there be fog in this weather? ”
I shook my head, "Anyway, this village is a bit evil, let's be careful..."
As I spoke, I opened the bag containing the magic weapons, grabbed a handful of rune paper, a few runes, ordered Yuxin to put it in my pocket, and took all kinds of magic weapons myself, and the two of them walked cautiously towards the village.
The roads in this village are paved with stones, and they are uneven. In the dark, but I saw the old-fashioned tiled houses standing on both sides of the road, on the courtyard wall, painted with various scribbled patterns and slogans, carefully identifying, what 'a couple only has one child', 'safe electricity method', etc., each slogan is equipped with a pattern, some have peeled off and are not recognizable, such as a couple holding a child, the woman only has half a face left, it looks ghostly... In short, everything in front of us makes people feel in a trance that they seem to have returned to the early days of reform and opening up.
Looking up, from here, I couldn't see the kind of 'fog' I saw when I was in the trees, only the dark sky...
In this way, Yuxin and I vigilantly walked south along the village road, and when we came to the village, we didn't see any paths, let alone any trees, only a ditch.
"Ah Leng, didn't the man who stole the child tell the truth? Otherwise, the village in front of him was not the one he had been to in the first place. Yuxin said.
I looked up and thought, "Even if that man blinds us, the old man at the commissary won't fool us, he said that there is a house built in this village behind the woods, then there will definitely be, maybe not in the back of the village, let's take a walk..."
Yuxin and I went east along the ditch, and not long after, we came to the easternmost part of the village. The small river bends eastward from the entrance of the village, skirts the village, and winds south. The east-west ditch at the back of the village leads to the river.
"Ah Leng, look there!" Yuxin pointed to the distance on the other side of the river on her right.
Following Yuxin's fingers, my heart lit up, because I saw that there was a forest there.
"Let's go." I waved my hand, "Go over and have a look." ”
There is a road along the river, and after following the road for a while, you come to a wooden bridge that spans the river. This wooden bridge is also unknown for many years, it looks very old, and when you step on the bridge deck, you can faintly hear the sound of 'empty'.
After crossing the bridge, there was a path leading to the forest, and along the path, getting closer to the forest, Yuxin and I couldn't help but get nervous. This is a poplar forest, poplar trees, blown by the wind, 'hulala', looking white in the dark night.
The path came to the forest, and a turn turned around, and the scene was a little similar to what the man had described.
"Let's go."
I pulled Yuxin, concentrating on all the movements and aura around me and in the forest, and slowly walked around the forest along the path. From entering the village to coming to this forest, Yuxin and I did not encounter any obstacles, and I did not feel anything with an unknown aura. The more this happens, the more uneasy I feel...
Finally, a large mansion located behind the forest appeared in front of us. The courtyard wall and gatehouse are made of blue bricks, which is very tall.
"I don't know if it's here." Yuxin whispered.
I raised my eyes and looked above the door, "Yuxin stepped back, I'll listen with my ears first to see if there is anyone in this house..."
Placing the bag on the ground, I silently thought about the method that Master had taught me to apply ear ears, plucked out a piece of hair, and pasted it with talisman paper at the level of my forehead above the door.
"Yuxin."
"Huh?"
"Did you bring tissues?" I asked in a low voice.
"Yes."
Yuxin nodded and pulled out a tissue for me. Rolling the tissue into strips, I plugged my left ear, and then, pinching a sword finger in each hand, one pointing to the middle of the talisman on the door, and the other to my right ear, slowly closing my eyes, taking a deep breath, and silently reciting the mantra.
Suddenly, my ears 'buzzed', and I couldn't hear anything, as if I had entered a silent vacuum world. After about four or five seconds, there were some subtle sounds in this 'world', and as I listened, those sounds became louder and louder, and I could distinguish them carefully, there was the sound of trees swaying, the wind blowing windows, etc., and I didn't hear the snoring or breathing of someone sleeping...
"How?" Seeing me put away the method, Yuxin asked.
"No one." I glanced at the wall, "Let's go over the wall." ”
When I came to the base of the wall, I squatted on the ground, and ordered Yuxin to hold the wall with both hands and step on my shoulders with both feet. After Yuxin stood firm, I straightened up a little bit, until halfway through, I shouted 'up' and slammed it up, Yuxin stretched out her hand to pull the wall, and kicked her foot up.
Throwing the bag containing the magic weapon to Yuxin, I retreated about seven or eight meters away, until I retreated into the woods, and suddenly rushed to the wall and kicked up on the wall. Yuxin grabbed my outstretched hand with unmistakable accuracy and dragged me up.
In the dark, Yuxin and I smiled at each other, squatted on the wall, and looked towards the courtyard. Only in the courtyard is quite large, the ground is paved with flower tiles, there are a few trees, three bungalows are arranged in three directions, and in the middle of the yard is a large circular flower pond, and a coniferous pine is planted in the middle of the flower pond.
Compared to other buildings in the village, this mansion is indeed much more luxurious, but if it is placed in another place, such as Fengyang Town, it is nothing more than an ordinary mansion. I said in my heart, Fan Tongtian is so rich, judging from other people's descriptions, he is so stylish, this place doesn't look like his lair, but since he is here, let's go down and have a look...
After making up our minds, Yuxin and I jumped into the yard one after the other. After just a few steps, I felt a sense of relaxation and joy in my whole body, as if I was in the middle of the mountains. Yuxin and I both stopped and looked at each other. When I walked in the house of Yang Shujia in Hebei, I also had this feeling. Take a closer look at the feng shui layout of this house, such as the distance between the trees, the distance between the trees and the flower pond, the distance between the flower pond and the house, etc... I said in my heart, it turns out that this mansion is not as simple as what I see on the wall, from the perspective of the internal feng shui pattern, it is more than ten times stronger than the one of Yang Shujun's house, could it be that this is really the old nest of Fan Tongtian? Why did he choose such a place for his lair? …
Thinking like this, I pulled Yuxin around the flower pond and came to the door of the main house. The door was closed, and when I looked through the glass, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.
"I knew I should have brought a flashlight." I muttered.
"I left my phone in the car, try to take a picture with your phone." Yuxin said.
I nodded, took out my phone, raised my arm, and was about to take a photo, when I suddenly heard a 'shala' sound, and the sorcerer's sixth sense made my nerves tense all of a sudden.
"What's wrong with Ah Leng?" Yuxin asked.
"Shhh
My eyes widened as I stared at the dark glass of the door in front of me. Judging from the sound just now, it was from the needle pine in the distant flower pond behind us, and it was not blown by the wind, but... It's as if something has come out of the dense pine leaves...
This thought made my head jump and my back fluttered... Is there something unclean in this house? … I contemplated it, and I wondered if it was because the feng shui layout of this house was different from other places, and I didn't feel the aura emitted by unclean things...
There was a stalemate like this for about half a minute, maybe because Yu Xin and I both had magic weapons on our hands, and that 'thing' didn't dare to attack us.
"Yuxin." I whispered.
"Huh?"
"Do you still have the Lonely Void Rune in your hand?"
"Yes."
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll turn on my phone and shine it on the glass, and there may be an image of this 'thing' behind us on the glass. Once you see where it is, you suddenly turn around and hit it with the talisman in your hand..."
