Chapter 62: Dry Bones in the Well
At this time, Mu Juechen was evading the monitoring along the way, while silently exploring the layout of the Lu family's mansion. After knowing the approximate location, function and garrison of each house, it is all in mind. In half a day, except for the 81st step of the back mountain and the tightly guarded courtyard in the southeast corner, all the others have been mastered.
So he decided to wait for the twilight to spy on the strange courtyard surrounded by locust trees.
Looking from afar, the courtyard outside the courtyard is locked, and there are guards around it in shifts. This made him even more confused.
As soon as the hour arrived, Mu Juechen saw that there was no one around, so he jumped lightly on the branch that entered the small courtyard, and then observed the situation in the courtyard.
Looking around, there is nothing special in the courtyard. The decoration of the three buildings and the stone scenery in the courtyard are similar to those of other courtyards. The only difference is that it is in decay and decay, full of depression, and it seems that no one has set foot in it for a long, long time.
Mu Juechen gently landed in the garden. The courtyard was suddenly filled with smoke and dust, and it was obvious that it had not been cleaned for a long time. He hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with the back of his hand, scanning the three buildings vigilantly. Before the smoke and dust cleared, the white light flashed, and the longsword appeared on his right hand.
Carrying the sword, Mu Juechen quietly walked towards the house in the middle, leaving two rows of footprints on the ground......

After Gu Junyang returned to the hotel, it was almost evening.
In the afternoon, he saw so many rare treasures that had not been born, and he was a little excited just by thinking about it. So I was anxious to share it with Mu Juechen.
But I knocked on the door next door, but there was no movement inside.
"Well, haven't they come back yet?"
He knocked a few more times in a row, puffing out his cheeks and muttering, "Isn't it? What time is it? Could it be that he is lost again!" So he hurriedly took out the phone and pressed Mu Juechen's mobile phone number.
"Just once, I'll take you to see the old man of the world. Laughing on a sunny day......"
Just listen, the bell rang in the room.
At this time, Gu Junyang began to be a little anxious, "This Mu Sheng, why don't you even bring your mobile phone when you go out!"
"Shhh...... Could it be that he is still in the Lu family?"
Gu Junyang couldn't help but think of the courtyard that made him suspicious, and then planned to go directly to the Lu family.
Descending into the hall on the first floor, he stopped again. I muttered silently in my heart: "No! If he is really in the Lu family, with my skills, going will only add trouble to him in vain, and it will not help." ”
Just as he was hesitating, the receptionist saw that he had been standing there and asked softly, "Sir, do you need any help?"
"Oh, oh, no. Thanks, ha. ”
Gu Junyang came back to his senses, bit his thumb and nails, and thought, "I'd better wait in the room first, his exercises are estimated to be among the best in the whole Dian Continent." I took the liberty of going to Lu's house, what if he wasn't there. With that in mind, he turned and went back upstairs.
The front desk pleaded his chin, blinked his eyes twice, and whispered in a gossipy voice, "Did you quarrel again?"
————
Mu Juechen had just finished inspecting the last house, and found that there was nothing abnormal here, and was about to leave.
Suddenly, he heard someone talking at the door, and he immediately dodged behind the door and listened quietly.
It turned out to be four guards at the door.
"It's night, brothers, cheer up!"
"Why is it so soon, it's night again! You say, will that sound sound tonight?"
"Who knows, it's just in time to worship ancestors, maybe there is really an old ancestor living in it!"
"Bah, talk less and do more. ”
Listening to the sound outside the door, it gradually calmed down, and Mu Juechen stopped staying. But as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, all the pores on his body opened instantly, because he heard one after another "squeak-squeak" scratching the wall!
Mu Juechen immediately put his long sword in front of his chest, and his five senses were opened, looking for the source of the sound. The pale blue light began to flow slowly up and down his body, reflecting the whole person like a fairy.
At the same time, the guards outside the door seemed to hear the voice, and they all closed their eyes tightly and clenched their spears. While sweating profusely on the top of their heads, they comforted each other.
"It's coming, it's coming! Don't move, it is said that this is the ancestor, and it will not hurt your family. ”
"Shhhh
"I can't move if I want to, I don't listen to this leg!"
Finding that the sound came from the courtyard, Mu Juechen's eyes alertly locked on an ancient well.
The ancient well is located in the southeast corner of the courtyard, and the stone masonry around it has basically been corroded by the years, leaving only a half-meter-wide hole in the ground.
"Squeak-squeak. The voice remembered again.
"Bang dang. "A little guard at the door couldn't stand it anymore, so he was so frightened that he threw away his armor and ran away.
"The newcomers are just unproductive. The middle-aged guard said.
"Why don't we ...... too?"
Then, in a few moments, the guards were all gone.
Mu Juechen cautiously walked over, put his sword against the well, and said in a deep voice: "Come out." ”
A gust of wind suddenly rolled up dust, and the sound of whistling lingered around the left and right.
Mu Juechen immediately withdrew and spun in the air, and swung his sword horizontally towards the dilapidated ancient well. The white sword qi directly tore apart the space formed by the violent wind.
The wind stopped, and a tall black skeleton stood proudly on the ground.
The skeleton was dressed in ancient costume, but the material was not light gauze and satin, but ordinary cotton and linen coarse cloth. The upper body of the linen cloth is tied diagonally in front of the chest, and the lower body is wrapped around the knees. Dressed like this, it should be a long time ago.
Mu Juechen noticed that there was still a little bit of blue fire shining in the chest of this skeleton, and he couldn't help but be cautious. Clenching the long sword, he thought to himself: "After the death of this skeleton's physical body, it can still forcibly leave a trace of power in the body. After such a long period of cultivation, I'm afraid that the current exercises are no longer under me. ”
"Where is the monster!" he asked in a deliberate cold voice, testing to see if it would react.
"Do you mean me, or yourself?" the skeleton pointed at Mu Juechen instead, and said sharply.
"Being able to speak means that you already have spiritual sense!" Thinking of this, Mu Juechen narrowed his eyes, and the long sword was between the two 'people'. Said lightly: "Each other!"
"Hehe, there's a monster of mine in that world, and you can disappear. ”
"Not necessarily!"
As soon as Mu Juechen's voice fell, he immediately flew to the front, and the skeleton also raised a pair of bone claws and jumped and pounced, its nails sharp and sharp.
Under the moonlight, two afterimages were immediately left, and the two 'people' quickly tore apart.
I saw one pink and one black, and the two shadows kept changing positions, and the sonorous sound was endless. In the courtyard, the scene was dusty, fallen leaves were rolling, and sparks were flying. Mu Juechen greeted him with a sword, his body was light, and he seemed to be dancing. The skeleton is like a tiger pounced on food, directly fighting with iron bones.
For a time, the battle situation was scorched, and the victory and defeat were indistinguishable.
When it was dark, there was a sound of small footsteps outside the courtyard, but at this moment, it suddenly sounded!
