Chapter XXII
What about people? Quietly everywhere, Cui Ming looked around, and saw no trace of anyone, not even the force fluctuations of Beiyue and Ding Ze, and hiding? The Force is not an X-ray, and the eye cannot penetrate the real thing. As a clever person, Cui Ming suddenly thought that this night visit to Lincoln Manor was Beiyue and Ding Ze's assessment of his training this month? And now they are secretly observing themselves?
It's a garden with a statue in the center, and next to the statue is an introduction to the Lincoln family, which shows the deeds of each generation of Lincoln family heroes, the nobles who went on expeditions more than a thousand years ago, the heroes who quelled the rebellion hundreds of years ago, the business tycoons decades ago, and so on.
Cui Mingqiao stood on the statue: "Gentlemen, ladies, we are gathered here today to witness the birth of one of the best magicians of this century. As soon as he pulled his coat and cloak, a playing card flew out of it, spun back like a long dragon, and returned to Cui Ming's hand. Cui Ming turned the playing cards into a fan shape: "54 cards of poker have endless changes, just like your and my life, I never know whether to cry or laugh tomorrow." But at this time, you and I are here, gathered together to witness the miracle. Ladies and gentlemen, look ahead...... 54 aces...... It's boring, right? I think so too. Cui Ming accepted 54 aces and took off the statue.
It's been a very boring month, it's boring to concentrate on cultivation, it's boring to be wary of Aveline, and it's boring to talk to Beiyue...... Entertaining yourself properly can mediate your mood, so as not to become a very boring person. For example, tonight, the dishes were carefully prepared by themselves, and only four of the fifteen dishes were made by themselves, and I planned to have a dinner quiz with Beiyue and Ding Ze to enhance understanding, but the result...... It's all in the refrigerator, and I'm not even interested in explaining. The relationship with Beiyue and Ding Ze has always been very dull.
This is the ghost building where the anomaly was first discovered, right?
A hundred meters in front of Cui Ming is the main manor building, the construction area is very large, and the ghost building is twenty meters to Cui Ming's side, which is where the employees in the east area of the manor stay. Cui Ming was about to retract his gaze when the fourth room on the third floor lit up. Cui Ming got goosebumps all over his body and took a step back.
It's not the lights, it's the firelight, the slight shaking of the fire, the windows not closed, the curtains fluttering.
"Boss, Ding Ze?" Cui Ming suppressed his voice and called softly.
No one answered, Cui Ming's cleverness made him think of a possibility, that is, on the first day he went to Beiyue's office, Lincoln Manor appeared, either by coincidence, or Beiyue and Ding Ze had arranged steps to test themselves early in the morning.
Thinking of this, Cui Ming stepped towards the ghost building, the ghost building staircase was in the middle, it was a wooden staircase, and when he stepped on it, he immediately made a squeaky sound. The unknown is fearful, you don't know what is waiting for you at the corner of the stairs, Cui Ming is halfway up, he pounces over the stairs, and a playing card flies out, no, nothing.
With a squeaky stamping, Cui Ming reached the second floor...... No, I'm a cultivator now, so why do I want to climb the stairs? Are you thinking about going back to the first floor and jumping to the third floor? Forget it, think about it. Cui Ming cautiously walked towards the third floor, no matter how careful the damn ladder was, it would make a sound, and Cui Ming couldn't wait to grab the wooden ladder with both hands......
Taking a deep breath, he went up to the third floor, leaning against the wall, Cui Ming took out a mirror and looked at the fourth room, the door was open, and there was firelight. Cui Ming took another deep breath, went upstairs, stuck to the wall, and slowly walked towards the fourth room. There were six rooms away from the fourth room, all the room doors were closed, and Cui Ming slowly approached......
When there were still three rooms away, the fire suddenly went out, and Cui Ming immediately knelt down on one knee and waited quietly, his nose could smell the residual smell of the candle after it was extinguished. With a cushion under his feet, the man rushed out of the air and flew through the fourth room, and with a wave of his left hand, a deck of playing cards flew into the room in a fan. Cui Ming rolled on the ground and was on guard, there was no sound, and the moment he passed the fourth room, Cui Ming saw the table, the cabinet and the empty room.
Cui Ming waited for a moment, leaned against the wall of the fourth room, then stretched out his head to take a look, and immediately shrank his head. There was nothing, a very ordinary table leaning against the window, with three drawers on one side and a small cabinet on the other. On the side is a wardrobe-like thing...... Is it hiding inside? As long as it is closed enough, even if the practitioner hides in a small space, it will not be visible. Unless touched with Force senses......
Except for the desk and wardrobe, the room was empty and there was nothing left. Cui Ming finally walked into this room, turned his back to the wardrobe, suddenly turned around, and the playing cards flew out and cut into the wardrobe...... There was no response, and he opened the closet, and it was empty, only his playing card embedded in the wall.
There was nothing on the floor, smooth marble, strange! Where does the fire come from?
Cui Ming is almost definitely assessed, since this is the case, Beiyue They will definitely leave some clues, look at the wall, no. Looking at the ceiling, my eyes were round and I couldn't see anything. There was only a desk, and the drawer on the front was empty. The third drawer on the side was found, with a book.
It's the geography of the Eastern Continent, and after looking at it for a while, I didn't find any clues.
Cui Ming squatted down and opened the small cabinet at the bottom left of the desk......
The cabinet, which was no more than forty centimeters high, was opened, and Cui Ming saw a pair of green flames, which were dulled. 1 second later, Cui Ming suddenly discovered that this was not a flame, but a pair of eyes, the eyes of a person less than a meter tall......
it! Cui Ming's frightened soul immediately scattered, and he fell to the ground in a row, the man's eyes narrowed, the green flame eyes became extremely evil, and the small staff in his left hand moved.
A black gas flew towards Cui Ming, Cui Ming couldn't dodge and was hit, and immediately felt that the Force was abnormal, as if he had been mixed with something that shouldn't be. Goodbye, the little staff was about to move, Cui Ming immediately said, "Wait." ”
The other party stopped, lowered his waist, and got out of the small cabinet, yes, a thin cultivator less than a meter tall, a small magic hat, and a green magic robe. took a magic wand in his hand and turned it lightly to look at Cui Ming.
"I'll show you something." Cui Ming stood up, took out the handbook from his pocket, and glanced at the corner of his eye, after being mixed with his own Force by other Forces, he had to enter the underworld state to force out the abnormal Force. Cui Ming took the wrong shape, put the manuscript back in the pocket of his windbreaker with his left hand, and took out a lighter with his right hand and held it in the palm of his hand: "Someone asked me to send you something." "Underworld......
The little man didn't go to pick up the lighter, and a hoarse voice came: "Who are you?" "The biggest reason why he can be stopped by Cui Ming is that he has never heard of Cui Ming as a cultivator in Chu Xiaocheng.
