After searching until dusk, they didn't see any monsters appear, not even the beasts touched a single one, Xu Chen couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said to Li Jiunong: "Uncle, it seems that the rumors are not credible, maybe these monsters have already left Tsukasui Mountain and gone to cultivate elsewhere." ”

"Well, it's possible. Li Jiunong replied, but he immediately said with a bitter face: "But we searched for a day, but we didn't even find a single black Ganoderma lucidum, and today we were busy in vain." ”

Xu Chen said: "Maybe it's the wrong place to find, since there are no monsters in the mountain, let's go into the mountain tomorrow to find it." ”

Xu Chen's biggest worry was that he would encounter a monster, but after staying in the mountains for a day, he didn't even see a monster hair, and his hanging heart was also put down, secretly thinking that it was not to find a rare thing like a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, I would spend more time, and I was afraid that I would not be able to pick a few black Ganoderma lucidum!

Li Jiunong saw that it was not early, so he said to Xu Chen: "The sun is about to go down, let's go back early, call a few more people to help tomorrow, there will definitely be a harvest." ”

"Okay. Xu Chen nodded yes, turned around and left, only walked a few steps, accidentally tripped over a raised stone in the grass, and almost fell to the ground.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound of "smack" in their ears, and the two of them looked for prestige, but they were surprised to find that a bluestone paved road appeared in front of them.

The stone path was made of large square stone slabs, smooth and neat, apparently artificially constructed, and it turned at the end of their line of sight, leading to an unknown dark place.

Li Jiunong said strangely: "Hey, how can anyone build a road in this barren mountain and wilderness?"

Xu Chen didn't think about it and said: "Let's go over and take a look, maybe we can meet a few worldly masters who live in seclusion here." ”

"Xu Gongzi can't ......" Before he finished speaking, Li Jiunong saw Xu Chen stepping on this stone path, and he had to sigh and follow Xu Chen, looking around from time to time to prevent accidents.

Turning a corner along the stone road, it suddenly became clear that it was a valley with no grass, and at the end of the road there was a magnificent building, which looked very much like the mansion of a certain dignitary.

Xu Chen laughed and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a magnificent residence in the mountain, uncle, we don't have to go down the mountain, just go there to spend the night, just to meet some new friends." ”

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and a thick white mist suddenly rose among the mountains and forests, the cold wind blew through the treetops, the branches and leaves were bleak, and the moonlight penetrated through the gaps in the mist, hazy and miserable.

The mysterious mansion also began to flicker countless candlelight lights, but it was shrouded in the night fog and looked a little foggy, like a mirage, giving people a very unreal feeling.

"This doesn't seem to be a normal person, Xu Gongzi should be careful. After all, Li Jiunong was more than twenty years older than Xu Chen, and he instinctively felt that there was danger, so he hurriedly stepped forward to remind Xu Chen.

"Uncle, don't worry, even if there is a strong man living in it, he can't help me. Xu Chen is young and vigorous, not as cautious as Li Jiunong.

"People aren't worried, I'm afraid that there are monsters living in it. ”

"Monster?" Xu Chen was stunned and couldn't help but stop.

"Yes, youkai are the best at confusing people, and nights like this are the perfect time for them to do evil things, maybe this house is what they conjured up with their magic to lure us in and eat us. ”

Xu Chen suddenly remembered the words that God King Garamo had warned him when he met the white-clothed demon girl, and he suddenly became vigilant, he put his hand on the pergola and looked at the mysterious building a few times, and finally retracted his mind and said: "Since the uncle said so, let's go home the same way, it's a big deal to wait until tomorrow daylight to see what's going on." ”

"It's for the best. ”

The two of them turned around and walked in the dark, and after only a dozen steps, Li Jiunong stepped into the air, if Xu Chen hadn't grabbed his shoulders in time, he would have almost fallen into the ground.

Suddenly, the wind was whistling around, and the thick fog was blowing away, Li Jiunong trembled and lit the torch with a fire fold, and when he raised it to look at the four directions, the scene in front of him suddenly surprised the two of them.

Ahead is the abyss, where you can see the stone path when you arrived!

"It's weird, there are really monsters!" Li Jiunong said in a trembling voice, his tongue couldn't be straightened.

Xu Chen was also shocked, he looked back again, and found that the stone path still stretched from his feet to the strange mansion, but there was no thick white mist on the ground.

A strange fragrance that did not resemble the human world quietly entered the noses of the two.

"It's so fragrant!" Xu Chen involuntarily twitched his nostrils and said, "It's a little familiar, I seem to have smelled it somewhere." ”

Li Jiunong's expression became more and more solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This fragrance seems to be wafting from that strange residence. ”

"Alas, it's a blessing or a curse, and it's a curse that can't be avoided. Xu Chen sighed and said, "The way back is blocked, and we have to go to this ghost place to see what is going on." ”

Although Li Jiunong was frightened, he didn't have any good ideas, so he had to nod helplessly in agreement.

The two walked along the way with a nervous mood, and stopped in front of the gate of this mansion that exuded a strange fragrance.

In front of me is a stone staircase built of white marble, divided into three levels, each of which has seven steps, leading to the red to the dark Zhu Gate, where a plaque is hung on the door, with several strange big characters written: Cargo Spring Pavilion.

At this moment, the gate has opened a crack, as if to imply that pedestrians can enter and perch at any time.

Is it a human, a demon, or a ghost who lives in it?

Xu Chen was secretly thinking about it, and Li Jiunong had already reminded him behind him: "Young Master Xu, there is likely to be danger inside. ”

"I understand. Xu Chen nodded, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Is there anyone inside?"

There was no response at all, and the candles in the pair of red lanterns hanging on the door burned more and more vigorously and gloomily, which made people feel terrified.

Looking back again, there was no bluestone road that had been walked, all of which were barren land overgrown with weeds, and a thick fog shrouded them, but they could not be eroded by a distance of one kilometer, as if an unknown and terrible force had stopped the path of the fog.

"It seems that there is no way back, so I'll go and investigate first. Uncle, you are guarding outside, and when you hear me shouting loudly inside, it means that there is danger, so you should run quickly, and do not stay here. ”

"Alas, well. "Except for agreeing, what else can Li Jiunong do.

He is just an ordinary man, if there are really monsters in it, he can't help at all, and forcing it in will only drag Xu Chen down.

Xu Chen stepped up the steps to the door, first opened his eyes and looked into the crack in the door, only to see that the lights and shadows inside were shaking, but there was nothing.

After hesitating for a moment, he pushed the door open and walked in, but the door closed on its own, even though no one was standing behind him.

Xu Chen sneered and turned around with a kick, and the door was kicked open by him, as if it was just the cold wind unconsciously blowing the door shut just now.

Looking inside again, the door was not a courtyard like an ordinary mansion, but an empty hall, quietly deserted, and there was no furniture.

Only the cocktail hanging lamp nailed to the wall emitted a slightly green candle flame, as if to imply that the owner of the mansion would return to entertain guests at any time.

But Xu Chen still saw something strange, that is, the corners of the walls and window lattices were covered with cobwebs, and the ground was covered with thick dust, and every step Xu Chen took, leaving clear shoe prints.

There is also a side door to the right of the hall, which is also open. Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then walked into the door.

Suddenly, a dazzling light pierced, forcing Xu Chen to cover his eyes with his hands to avoid the stimulation of the bright light.

By the time his gaze was fully adjusted to the environment in the room, his mouth was already closed in surprise.

Like in the hall, there was no furniture in the room, but the floor was full of gold, silver and jewelry, which exuded an irresistible seductive light, making Xu Chen dizzy to watch.

It took a long time for Xu Chen to come back to his senses, he hurriedly ran out of the mansion, pulled Li Jiunong in, and said excitedly: "Uncle, we have made a fortune!"

"Fortune, what kind of wealth? Fortune ......"

When Li Jiunong entered the room full of treasures, he stammered his speech, his breathing became short, and then he couldn't help but exclaim: "I'm really rich, I can't spend all these treasures in ten lifetimes!"

With that, he quickly leaned over to grab the jewels, completely throwing away his vigilance before entering the door.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook slightly, and Xu Chen suddenly noticed that the situation was different, and instinctively tiptoed on his feet, wanting to fly to the beam to check the movement.

But it was too late, a black and shiny rope appeared out of thin air, tying Xu Chen like a living thing, and Li Jiunong, who had never been on guard, was also tied by another rope at the same moment.

The two of them suddenly stood unsteadily, and they fell to the ground together.

Suddenly, a strong demonic aura floated over from all directions.

The space around it began to distort, and when it returned to normal, all the gold, silver, and jewels disappeared, and even the huge mansion disappeared with it.

Instantly plunged into darkness, completely pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Then the light was bright again, Xu Chen's cold sweat flowed out, and he found himself trapped in a cave with strange rocks, only the cockroach hanging lamp on the rock wall did not change in the slightest, and it was still exuding a strange demon fire.

"Hahahaha, what ignorant humans!"

With a burst of mocking laughter, a group of monsters swarmed in outside, some of them had fully evolved into human bodies, but two long fangs stuck out of their mouths, some of them may have been due to insufficient cultivation, or beast-headed human bodies, and the backs of their hands were covered with animal hair.

This group of monsters couldn't help but escort them into the big hole outside, and there was a tall monster sitting on the high platform in front of them, who looked like the leader of this group of monsters, only to hear him shout and ask: "Despicable humans, who sent you in? What are your intentions, do you want to get along with our demon clan?"

Li Jiunong had never seen such a terrifying scene, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, but Xu Chen was a tall and bold artist, and when he saw the monster sitting on the tiger skin chair with a sharp mouth and a thunderous face, he couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "It turned out to be a monkey demon." ”

These words immediately made the monster leader furious, and he said viciously: "How can I be compared with those lowly monkeys who have no knowledge, but this king is a noble father. ”

Ju Father is a kind of spirit beast that lives near Chongwu Mountain, and it is a highly intelligent population in the demon clan, they are even smarter than humans, no wonder Xu Chen and Li Jiunong fell for his tricks.

Xu Chen had indeed seen a lot of this kind of spirit beast before, but it was the first time he had encountered it today, having cultivated to perfection.

A little demon stepped forward and said flatteringly: "King, I think these two humans have bad intentions, it is better to beat them up first and then try them." ”

"Okay, let's pull it over for me first, and each of them will hit fifty boards!"

Several little demons immediately tied Xu Chen and Li Jiunong to the stone pillar, picked up the thick willow stick and was about to start fighting, Xu Chen hurriedly said: "Wait, don't do it yet!"
