CHAPTER XXVIII
It was not too late, and soon Kong Yuhui and the two came back, and they also found two rooms next to everyone.
Everyone gathered together again, leaned on the wagon, and made a fire with the branches and dry firewood and grass in the yard, and settled the diet together, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
It was overcast, and soon it was completely dark.
Lin Xin can't wash, as a modern person, he is used to washing every day, and he is really not used to it here.
But there is no way, the water in the pond looks dirty and unusable.
He lay on the bed for a moment with his clothes closed, and the rotten wooden bed creaked as if it might collapse at any moment.
Looking at the moonlight faintly shining outside the window, he couldn't sleep a little after tossing and turning.
Simply getting up, Lin Xin walked to the wooden door and looked into the courtyard through the tattered window.
The carriage was tied to the right corner of the courtyard, and the horses stood quietly and motionless, the bonfire beside the carriage glowing faintly red.
call
Lin Xin sighed, this task was carefully selected by him, the threat level of the task was low, but the reward was quite high, there were twenty jade coins. And by joining the party, you can also gain a little more experience.
Ga
Suddenly, there was a faint crow cry in the distance.
"It's a bit eerie. Lin Xin gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist. This sword is the array weapon he has worked so hard to make, and he calls this powerful weapon that has a limit on the number of times it can be used and whose power is unknown.
The gentle hilt of the sword gave him a slight sense of security.
Turning around, he felt the darkness and walked to the bed, ready to lie down a little longer.
Suddenly, a dark shadow faintly flashed from outside, swept by the corner of his eye.
Lin Xin turned around abruptly, hid by the broken window, and looked out obliquely.
I saw a man in black walking slowly along the pond towards the door in the courtyard. The man seemed to be wearing a skirt, the hem of the skirt was very long, he walked very slowly, his back was facing Lin Xin, and he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly at all.
Lin Xin looked at it carefully and felt that the back was a little familiar.
"Who could it be so late?" If he hadn't been able to fall asleep and just woke up at this moment, he would never have found this figure.
The other party walked slowly, but there was no sound, and the whole person seemed to be floating.
Along the way, he had long felt that something was wrong with Kong Yuhui in the team, although this guy seemed indifferent, he always gave people the feeling that he was hiding something.
"Could it be Kong Yuhui?" he frowned slightly, and suddenly saw that the figure seemed to be a little noticed, and was about to turn around to look this way, he quickly turned his head back to the room, and his eyes fell on the wall.
It was pitch black in the room, and nothing could be seen.
After slowing down slightly, Lin Xin slowly looked out from the edge again. !!!!
Suddenly, a pale face was pressed against the window, staring at him deadly.
Yes!
Lin Xin was startled, and jumped away violently, his hand clenched the hilt of his sword and almost pulled it out, but in the blink of an eye, there was nothing outside the window, only the slightly reddened bonfire in the courtyard.
Whew
He was the only one in the room breathing heavily.
"Damn!" Lin Xin looked carefully and made sure that he didn't see any traces, there was no face, and the man in black in the courtyard was gone.
Death calmed his breath, his arm tightened on the hilt of his sword, and slowly opened the door.
Squeak
There was a slight noise from some rotten doors, and Lin Xin took a step slowly, and quickly looked around, on both sides were the dark corridors leading to the shadows, and there was no movement.
He focused on the room on the right, there was no sound in it, it was Ouyang Qing's room.
"It was impossible for them not to hear such a loud voice just now. Lin Xin moved slowly vigilantly, trying not to let himself make a sound, and slowly walked to Ouyang Qing's room window and looked in.
I saw a person lying on the bed with his back to him, so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, only an outline.
He thought about it, but still didn't alarm the other party. He couldn't tell if he was dazzled just now. But apparently the previous fright had raised his guard.
"Sure enough, there is no such delicious free lunch in the world, and the task with low threat and high remuneration is actually only accepted by a few of our first- and second-level disciples, which is obviously not logical. ”
A thought passed through my mind.
"But most of the people in this team who dare to take on this task have their own hole cards, and they have no fear. ”
Including himself.
Thinking about this, Lin Xin didn't think much about it anymore, if the face just now was real, then he found out that he wanted to be unfavorable to himself, and he would definitely come to him. If it's just an illusion and you're dazzled, then it's all right.
After figuring it out, he went back to his room lightly, simply closed the door, ignored nothing, and just lay on the bed and fell asleep.
But his hand is always holding the hilt of the sword.
In this environment, he couldn't believe the people in the team, only he was vigilant at all times.
Unconsciously, he felt that he was asleep, and the sky outside gradually lit up with a white belly.
I don't know how long it took.
Bang Bang Bang.
The knock on the door made Lin Xin open his eyes suddenly, and he jumped up from the bed at once, and the hilt of the sword in his hand was almost unsheathed.
"Who!"
"I, Senior Brother Lin, it's time to go. Ouyang Qing's voice was a little surprised, and he seemed to be a little puzzled by Lin Xin's vigilance.
"Oh, I see. Come out right away. Lin Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and looked outside, the yard was golden, the sun was scorching, and it was the warmest time.
After hurriedly tidying up his body, Lin Xin went out and saw that the rest of the people in the courtyard had arrived.
The Shi brothers yawned for a long time, and Jiang Yue'er and Cheng Ruofei also had some dark circles under their eyes, and they didn't rest well.
However, Ouyang Qing and Kong Yuhui's faces were as usual, especially Kong Yuhui, who was carrying a small black cloth bag in his hand, and he didn't know what was inside.
"This mission is to get rid of the Yin-blooded birds, but they only haunt the graveyards, so we're going to go around and step on them first. There are unclean things in this neighborhood, so I chose to set off at noon when the yang energy is at its strongest, are you okay?" Kong Yuhui seems to have a tense face at all times, and when he is placed on the earth in his previous life, it is a standard facial paralysis. In addition, he is handsome, noble, extraordinary, and has a leadership temperament.
Lin Xin couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, feeling like he had been pressed by the other party.
"No problem, but I heard that Senior Sister Ouyang doesn't seem to be on this mission for the first time?" Cheng Ruofei suddenly asked.
Ouyang Qing smiled and nodded.
"Yes, this is my third mission. ”
"Hasn't the Yin Blood Bird been cleaned up yet?" Jiang Yue'er asked.
"Every once in a while, a large number of Yin Blood Birds will gather here, so we also need to come over every once in a while to clean up, don't worry, it's just a group of vicious birds, we have so many people, it should be easy to complete the task. Ouyang Qing said with a smile. "It's just that the only difficulty is that this task takes too long, it will take more than a month just to travel back and forth, not to mention that you need to wait for the right time for the Yin Blood Bird to appear, and the reward is not very generous for those masters, so I simply assigned it to us low-level disciples to complete it in a team. ”
Lin Xin and the Shi family brothers also nodded. It is indeed the reason she said, and this is also the reason why Lin Xin dared to join this team alone.
"But everyone has to be careful. Kong Yuhui's voice was always cold, "There have been deaths in the previous missions, this task is easy to say, but difficult to say." ”
Everyone should be, and then checked the situation on their bodies, and then under the leadership of Kong Yuhui and Ouyang Qing, they left the mansion and walked towards the outside of the town.
In winter, the town is a yellow-green wilderness slope, with a mess of grass and sparse stones, and a slight whining can be heard from time to time when the breeze blows.
A group of seven people went up the slope, only to see that the slope was densely packed with tombstones, some were stone tablets, and some were decaying wooden signs.
Lin Xin squatted down and wiped it on a slightly clearer stone tablet, and suddenly a layer of white stone powder fell. The handwriting on it is completely illegible.
"It's been less than thirty years since this town was abandoned, so why is the stone monument here so badly weathered?" he whispered.
After being taken aback last night, he had become very wary of this place.
"The place where the Yin Blood Bird is located is generally highly poisonous, so it is normal for the stone tablet to become like this. Ouyang Qing replied in a low voice beside him.
"Does Senior Sister Ouyang know the situation in this town?" Lin Xin asked casually.
"Yes, I know a little. Ouyang Qing's face showed a solemn expression. "Once upon a time, it was a place where secular princes lived incognito. Then something happened that led to being careful!"
Suddenly, before she could speak, she suddenly drew her sword out, and the silver chain flew out, hitting the empty space behind Lin Xin.
Laugh at!!
The blade of the sword seemed to have struck something, making a crisp sound.
Lin Xin only felt that Jiang Yue'er behind him exclaimed, as if he had been hit by something, and quickly turned around.
"Get out of the way, I'll come!" Before he could see what was going on, he heard Kong Yuhui's voice ring coldly.
With a bang, the Red Pine Sword Technique of the Pine Forest Sword Sect was instantly unsheathed, and a sword stabbed from the side, slamming into a black thing that didn't know what it was.
That thing rolled and was rushing towards Jiang Yue'er, but it was hit by this sword, and suddenly screamed, and disappeared with a swish!
Jiang Yue'er drew her sword and held it in her hand, her face was pale, and the clothes on the towering part of her chest were slightly torn, obviously she was almost caught by the black thing just now.
Her clothes were torn to the sides, as if they were torn apart by some sharp claws, and it felt as if the thing was trying to tear Jiang Yue'er's entire chest at once. At this time, through the torn white skirt, you can also see that the underwear worn inside is also torn, and the full and towering chest semicircle looms.
If it weren't for Ouyang Qing and Kong Yuhui's timely rescue, Jiang Yue'er would probably have been disembowelted just now.
But Lin Xin and the Shi family brothers didn't have time to draw their swords from beginning to end, and the whole process was over. The speed of that thing was too fast, if it weren't for swordsmen like Kong Yuhui and Ouyang Qing, who were so fast, I am afraid it would be really troublesome.
Lin Xin's forehead was also covered with cold sweat, if that thing was attacking him
