In a pitch-black and chaotic space, there is a strange aura everywhere.

On the ground, it was all gas, and it was almost impossible to see the ground. It's cold under my feet, and I don't know if I'm stepping on the ground or on the ice.

All around, there was endless darkness, as if it was far away, but it seemed close at hand.

Not far away, slightly higher, there is a chair. The chair is two meters high and one meter wide, and its whole body is made of bones. The armrests of the chairs are each inlaid with a human skeleton, and the back of the chair is in the shape of a sword's tip.

At the top of the back of the chair, a huge sword was stuck upside down. You can't see the blade, only the hilt. The hilt is made of gold, and it is also inlaid with a skull.

In the entire space, there was only Ling Yun alone.

In the quiet darkness, a voice suddenly appeared, surrounding him, only listening: "Don't forget your mission, don't forget your mission......"

Then, a large hand reached out from the darkness.

Ling Yun opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up suddenly, covered in cold sweat and panting.

He had nightmares again.

Since he was a child, he has been having nightmares, and the content of the nightmares is exactly the same. As I get older, the scene becomes more realistic and the sound becomes clearer. Gradually, he could see the big hands all the time.

Countless nights, he was awakened by the same nightmare. Therefore, he generally sleeps during the day and does not sleep at night if he can.

"the fart mission!" Ling Yun scolded angrily, and when he came to his senses, he found himself sitting on the weeds, with opaque branches and leaves above his head. Only then did I remember that I was tricked into the forest by the housekeeper yesterday and wanted to kill him.

He quickly touched himself and felt it, as if there was no pain anywhere, and there was no blood in his beautiful clothes. Touching the gold rod again, it was still there, and it was not taken away by the housekeeper.

He cautiously poked his head out and searched around, but he didn't see the butler. The dense forest is still eerie, even in the daytime.

But he didn't dare to take it lightly, and slowly stood up, still not seeing the butler. Once you're sure it's safe, start running. As soon as he took two or three steps, he tripped up.

Looking back, there was a man among the weeds. After taking a closer look, I was surprised to find that it was the housekeeper. His clothes were torn and there was blood everywhere, and he looked like he was dead.

He dared to go up and check, and the butler's chest was torn open by a sharp object. On the edge of the wound, there was a hoarfrost, and there was a hint of cold.

You know, although this is the north, in the summer, there is no frost at all.

Look at the butler's head again, with a big mouth and a hideous face, as if frightened. His entire eyeball was black.

Ling Yun remembered that something seemed to come out before he fell unconscious, and then he didn't know anything.

Everything was so strange that he was too scared to linger here. Just as he was about to leave, he looked back and thought, "You want to kill me, you can't let you die like this." Before you die, let you contribute to a great cause. ”

He searched his body, and it was really like what the housekeeper said, he didn't like money, he was penniless, and he didn't have any hair. Searching around, there was only one letter, and there were only six simple words on it.

But Lingyun didn't know how to read, so he couldn't understand it when he turned it over. With the letter in his hand, he returned to the village like a thief.

The villagers got up early to work, no different than usual. From the fragments, I heard that the rich man rewarded his subordinates last night and made a lot of delicious food, and you can smell the aroma of vegetables and wine from a distance.

"That's Lao Tzu's wedding!" Ling Yun scolded secretly, sneaked back to the mansion, and saw his second brother Zhang Pengmen standing at the door from a distance.

"Second brother!" he whispered.

Zhang Peng heard his voice as soon as he heard it, probably because he was too tired to stand all night, and his voice was a little hoarse, but it was still loud, and said, "Big brother!"

Ling Yun was so frightened that he hurriedly asked him to be quiet and called over. After asking, I found out that nothing had happened in the courtyard, and the people were still sleeping horizontally.

It turned out that last night was just the butler's private action.

Ling Yun asked Zhang Peng to call the sixth brother Qin Yi.

The sixth Qin Yi is the only one among the seven of them who knows words, and his personality is two-sided. Be kind to good people, be good to good people, and be jealous and evil to bad people. The character is gentle and elegant.,Quite bookish.。 The most important thing is that he understands the general situation.

After a while, Zhang Peng resisted Lao Liu Qinyi. I slept all night and didn't wake up yet. Ling Yun shook him, woke him up, gave him a letter, and let him see what was written.

Qin Yi barely opened his eyes a little slit, enough to see six words clearly, and said, "Stabilize him and wait for me to come." ”

After saying that, he fell asleep greedily.

"Steady him, wait for me to ......" Ling Yun fell into deep thought, unable to understand the meaning of these six words.

He called out the old three kings again and told him what happened yesterday. Wang Tu thought about it and felt that they were already in danger.

Ling Yun and Zhang Peng were stunned.

Wang Tu continued to analyze, it was very strange for a house as big as a rich man to appear in a poor village. The housekeeper is not greedy for money and has killed people, there are still people on it, combined with last night's incident, he must have come with a mission.

Moreover, they are not very glamorous in doing things, and they are certainly not a group of serious people.

Ling Yun felt that it made sense, and was thinking about it, when he heard someone shouting and crying in the courtyard, and then fell into chaos. Outside the high walls, you can hear the discussion inside.

He was worried that something would happen to his brothers, so he rushed in with a few people. I saw that a group of people formed a circle, not knowing what they were looking at.

When the old Qiye saw him in late autumn, she threw herself into his arms and cried, "Those dogs ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Poisoned. ”

At this moment, Ling Yun didn't have time to care about those dogs, the mad dogs barking at him every day. The people he cared about were shouting at the courtyard, "Steward!"

After shouting a few times and no one responded, he asked his subordinates to dispose of the dog, buy a few new ones, and then called Ling Yun to the house alone.

This time, he was much more respectful and said with a smile: "That...... Do you want to sell that gold rod of yours? I'm willing to pay a high price. ”

"Sell?" Ling Yun gave him an unceremonious look, "Did you do those good things last night, is it a posture to buy?"

The rich old man smiled flatteringly, bowed, and apologized again and again, "I really couldn't stand you last night, I wanted to get you drunk and steal it, but you drank it down, I'm really sorry." ”

"Stealing?" Ling Yun was furious, and his voice roared, "Did you call stealing last night?"

"Uh......" The rich old man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't understand.

"Pretending to be confused with me, pretending to be quite similar. Ling Yun threw the letter to the rich master and slapped him in the face, "Say, who are you and the butler waiting for?

When the rich man saw the six words on it, his hands began to tremble.
