Knock knock.

In the dead of night, the wind whined outside the door, and the sound of rain was mixed with a crisp and strange sound, like a strange knock on the door, which sounded three times, stopped for a while, and after a while, it sounded again.

In this area, there are noble envoys from other cities, a temporary team of nine tribes sent by the emperor. Their status is not only that of messengers, but also of their respective cities!

In order to prevent accidents, two armored guards were arranged outside each courtyard.

But this knock on the door is not like the sound of the wind, let alone a guard.

An Li couldn't sleep originally, what he saw in the forbidden place made him frightened, those dead white-robed people have always been inseparable from An Caizhan on weekdays, but now An Caizhan is missing, life and death are unknown.

Among his sons, he spent the most effort on his younger son, and he was the most favored. Because of his youngest son's talent, he was once considered a genius blessed by God himself: at the age of thirteen, he reached the level of soothsayer that ordinary people could not reach in his life, jumped over his peers and entered the guild in advance, and because of the excellent completion of the task, he was treated differently by the emperor in advance, and arranged for vacant positions to experience. At the age of nineteen, because he had served in the royal family, he obtained the qualifications of officials in various cities, and he was also the first genius to obtain the qualification certificate at the age of nineteen!

Even the Holy King attaches great importance to the quality of An Cai's exhibition, and after learning the news, he once bluntly said that he would focus on cultivating An Caizhan and planned to leave it to the next Holy King.

In the past few years, he has traveled to various cities, and a few months ago, under the pleading letters of his mother, he had promised to return to the Holy City at the age of twenty-four to contribute to the Holy King and the family. It's just ten days before his birthday, and something happened. For this little son, who has always only made him proud, he doesn't know life and death, An Li feels like crying without tears, and his brain hurts badly.

Knock knock.

There was another knock on the door outside. An Li knew that there had been many supernatural legends in the area near the forbidden cemetery, and if it was in the past, he didn't want to pay attention to the sound outside the door, just waiting for the sound to dissipate at dawn. But today, because of his heavy thoughts, although in the middle of the night his consciousness is still awake, the more he thinks about it, the more strange he feels, the room is arranged with a defensive barrier, among which there are two or three things on the shelves and walls to ward off evil spirits......

An Li's heart jumped suddenly, he pulled off his coat and put it on, put on his shoes and hurriedly walked out, but he was not in a hurry to open the door, and said softly: "Who is outside the house?"

"Father. ”

An Li suddenly felt chills all over his body, a sense of fear surged up from the depths of his heart, his hand pulled the door open, and across the threshold, the moonlight sprinkled between the two, and the slender figure in the white robe in front of him was shrouded in a layer of haze, the night wind blew, and An Li smelled a fishy smell. Before he could react, the figure on the opposite side was short, and the hard ground in front of him knocked his head three times.

"Father, do you remember the nightmare that I almost grew up with?"

"Y-Did you really do that?"

"Father, the demon cultivator is raising ghouls in the forbidden land of the cemetery, and when he saw that we found something unusual, he wanted to kill people and kill them. An Caizhan was expressionless, and a shadow covered the complicated feelings that flashed in his eyes, "I dug out the ghoul's heart according to the scene in my dream, and swallowed it with black blood." There is no longer any possibility of turnaround. ”

An Li was like thunder, his body trembled, and he barely stood still with his hands on the door panel.

"I'm going to join the Kneeling Fire Cult and live incognito. Father, tell Mother, just when I die. In the future, each one cherishes it!" An Caizhan said ruthlessly, his keen senses made him feel that there was a guard in charge of patrolling a little distance who was about to discover the corpses of the courtyard. Those corpses were guards in the courtyards, and they were killed in order not to directly cause trouble to the courtyard.

An Caizhan stood up, counted the time, and looked at his father deeply with affection: the tall and majestic figure in his memory was thin and thin, and the black hair tied together was mixed with many silver hairs;

"Zhan'er. An Li's voice choked and reached out to pull him.

"Father, they're coming, take care!" An Caizhan's figure flickered, and he left from the courtyard gate like a gust of wind, without looking back, and disappeared at the end of the night in an instant.

An Li was sad for a while, reluctantly got up and closed the door and returned to the house. Stood dumbfounded in the dark. I don't know how long later, there was a noise outside the house, and one of them knocked on the door, "Elder An?"

The firelight spilled through the crack in the door, An Li recovered some of his spirits, coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and said lightly: "What's the matter?"

"Something went wrong, and several of the guards were killed. Nothing happened on the Elder's side, did it?"

An Li sighed, "What can happen to me? It's just that I can't sleep sadly thinking about the deaths of those children." I don't know if I'm alive or dead now. After An Li finished speaking, he sighed again, "I didn't sleep this night, and I couldn't get up from the sore body, so I won't open the door and invite you to come in for tea." It's been a busy night, and it's been a hard night. ”

"The elder is polite. Two brothers will come to guard the courtyard gate, and there will be a special patrol team. A few of us still have to check next to the yard, so we won't delay here. ”

"Go ahead. ”

I vaguely heard someone outside muttering in a low voice: I see that ghost running to the east, and I don't know if the leader has caught it?

One person sneered: You kid doesn't have the talent to receive the reward, don't blame the brother for laughing at you, just you, I'm afraid that you can only drag your feet at a critical time.

Another person chimed in: There are a lot of evil things these days......

The footsteps faded away, An Li closed his eyes, and his heart was in chaos. Opening the window, the starry sky was bright, and the thin clouds were blown away by the night wind from time to time, and he suddenly remembered what happened when he was young.

At the age of sixteen, he won the second place in the spiritual power competition and obtained the qualification to study in the Forbidden City, which is a prison city that imprisons the strong people of the Supo Continent, which can be regarded as an alternative education for their younger generation. Those days, the torture, the terrible screams, left the seeds of fear in his young heart.

Creation makes people, in order to catch a spirit beast, he accidentally broke into the ghoul city not far from the Forbidden City, legend has it that this is the place where the omniscient god himself used his divine power to seal, and there are a large number of ghouls living in it, it is said that it is an undead monster created by the god of desire, crazy in blood, and has amazing speed and attack power.

Thinking of the soul-seducing and beautiful face of the woman who saved him at that time, An Li's heart fluttered. That entangled and unforgettable love, and finally forced to give up helplessly, and her resentful curse when parting, recalled it, but it was really fulfilled in Zhan'er.

An Li didn't dare to continue reminiscing for a while, for fear that he couldn't help it, so he went to that place to see her. If you really want to do that, I am afraid that half of the glory of your life will come to an end, and even the whole clan will have to be implicated.

"Dude, are you awake?"

The owner who heard the voice clearly, An Li came back to his senses, opened the door and said, "Brother Qiu, come into the house and sit." ”

Qiu Ke was more than ten years old in one day, and he dozed off in a daze with wine, and dreamed of Qiu Kexing, who died tragically, but after being woken up by those people, he couldn't sleep anymore. At this time, through the moonlight, he saw that An Li's eyes were blue and black, and he felt sorry for An Li's young genius whose whereabouts were unknown.

"Brother, I'm looking for you for a drink. I wonder if your body can stand this spirit?"

An Li subconsciously looked at the place where An Caizhan disappeared at the end, and didn't pay attention to the words in his ear when he was full of worries, only hearing the word spirits, he sighed: "No good wine can't eliminate sorrow." ”

"I heard that the king of the Central Plains took the girl to the forbidden cemetery, and I don't know what to do. As he spoke, tears rolled out, "Those children, let's send them back to the Holy City for burial as soon as possible, so that their spirits will no longer be at peace." ”
