Chapter Ninety-Five: Su Xue Yuan
Suxue Court is located on the west side of Luk's mansion.
To get there from the servant's courtyard in the northeast corner, you need to pass through most of the house, passing through many pavilions, pavilions, courtyards, and bridges.
Fortunately, Gu Xu has the talent of "being well-read and memorable".
When he read the information about Lu's old mansion, he had already completely engraved its floor plan in his mind, so that he could easily identify the direction in this labyrinthine complex.
Chu Fengge followed behind him in a daze, and he couldn't remember how many turns he had made and how many doors he had walked through.
According to his habit, as long as someone else leads the way, he will not remember the road himself.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The sky was dark, and there were no stars or moons in sight.
Gu Xu used his pulse and breathing to estimate the time as he walked.
Now there was silence in the house, and there was no figure or ghost in sight.
However, if he couldn't reach his destination within a quarter of an hour, he would most likely encounter those huge and ghost-looking demons that Chu Fengge had mentioned.
About ten minutes later, Gu Xu and Chu Fengge arrived at the location where "Su Xue Yuan" was.
According to the description in the information, Gu Xu remembered that the "Suxue Garden" was located on the side of the pond and was a complex of buildings composed of water pavilions, small pavilions, curved corridors and stone bridges.
In summer, the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, fragrant and refreshing; In winter, the water freezes and the snow falls on the long bridge.
But now, the beauty of yesteryear is long gone.
The entire building was covered in blood-stained frost.
At Gu Xu's feet, bones frozen in frost often appeared, which looked creepy.
"Now that we have arrived at our destination ahead of schedule," Gu Xu thought to himself silently, "Next, we need to enter this dilapidated building and find the spirit of the 'Amazing Pen 'Shocking Brush'." ”
He took out the talisman seal in his coat pocket, checked it, and confirmed that one was not missing, so he took the lead to step on the Jiuqu Stone Bridge and take the lead towards the "Suxue Garden".
Chu Fengge followed.
However, just after taking a few steps, Gu Xu had a feeling that something was wrong.
He faintly heard the slight sound of breathing beside him, and the cold breath blowing through his hair, as if he were walking side by side.
However, there was no one on his side.
Chu Fengge was five steps behind him.
According to Gu Xu's past habits, when he encountered such a strange situation, he would usually throw a bunch of ghost killing talismans without saying a word.
But today's situation is much more complicated than ever.
In order to avoid startling the snake, Gu Xu decided to stay quiet and observe cautiously.
The two quickly reached the end of the long bridge.
Half of the main building of Suxue Garden is erected in the pool, with windows on all sides, a verandah, and a mountain stone embellishment outside the door.
On its door, there is a crumbling plaque with four delicate and elegant words written on it: "Suxue Bingxin".
And at this moment, there was a strange feeling on Gu Xu's feet again-his right foot seemed to be tied by a rope, and he couldn't take another half step forward.
He lowered his head and found a mutilated man lying at his feet.
The man fell face down in the snow, having long since lost his legs; Its torso is pierced by an ice pick, and a chain of frost solidifies around its neck.
He stretched out a hand as thin as a skeleton, grabbed Gu Xu's ankle, and muttered, "Help me...... Help me......"
Gu Xu ignored him.
He lifted his foot, broke free with ease, and continued on his way.
Then Gu Xu and Chu Fengge finally stepped on the steps and came to the gate of the main building of "Su Xue Yuan".
Gu Xu noticed that the door of the building had been tightly locked with chains made of ice.
"How do we need to get in?"
He thought as he reached out and tried to knock on the door.
The moment his hand touched the gate, the ice chains suddenly melted, turning into icy snow and slowly cascading down the steps.
Then, the door creaked and slowly opened.
The room was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.
Just as Gu Xu tried to illuminate his vision with the light of Zhenyuan, the poignant sound of the cave flute sounded again.
The voice was deep and melancholy, like a stream of tears, flowing lonely in the night.
Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.
At this moment, he clearly felt that the source of the sound of the flute was very close to him.
It's as if it's coming from inside this building.
…………
Just a few minutes ago, Tang Hui also used his "Qincha Token" to arrive at the shelter in the northwest corner tower unharmed.
This turret is covered by a golden light mask.
Snow, snow, wind, and darkness outside could not invade it.
Occasionally, a few large, hideous-looking goblins pass by the corner tower.
However, when they see this dazzling golden corner tower, they immediately turn around and leave, choosing to stay away.
Tang Hui passed through the light mask, pushed open the door, and walked straight into the corner tower.
"Lord Tang, you're back!"
As soon as Tang Hui entered the door, many people surrounded him and greeted him warmly.
Among these people, there are not only the subordinates he brought to raid the house back then, but also many exorcist monks who later tried to solve the case but failed in the test.
In order to escape the pursuit of ghosts and the invasion of the cold wind, they came to this shelter in the northwest corner tower.
As the founder of the Sanctuary, Tang Hui clearly has great prestige among this group of people.
Everyone regarded Tang Hui as a lifesaver.
And Tang Hui's diligent, thrifty and humble gentlemanly style also made them deeply admired.
I saw Tang Hui with an impeccable smile on his face, and he greeted these people without any scolding.
"I think it won't be long before we can get out of this horrible mansion." He inadvertently uttered a shocking piece of news.
"Get out of here?" Everyone's eyes widened, "Lord Tang, you're not kidding, are you?" ”
"Do you think I'm going to be someone who jokes about something like this?" Tang Hui's smile was kind and confident, and there seemed to be a magic that made people involuntarily believe in him.
At this time, the sound of the flute suddenly sounded.
The voice came from the darkness, like a woman's cry.
Everyone present had been in this Lu family's murderous mansion for a long time, and naturally understood that this was a sign that the scene of the murderous mansion was about to change.
"I'm a little tired, so I'll go up and rest first." Tang Hui said to everyone.
He then walked up the stairs to the top.
Because Tang Hui has the highest status and prestige in the shelter, he has a room of his own on the top of this building.
Everything in this room is neatly arranged, without a trace of dust, and it is full of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Tang Hui took a deep breath and slowly sat down on an old wooden chair.
Now, his plan has reached its most critical moment, and there is no room for mistakes.
At that moment, he suddenly saw a spider building a web on the wall opposite him.
A wave of irritability welled up in his chest.
He waved his hand.
The spider fell into his hands in an instant.
"Has anyone ever taught you that trespassing into someone's room is rude?" He said to the spider.
The spider struggled helplessly in his hands.
"It's useless to know that it's wrong now," Tang Hui said with a smile, "If you do something wrong, you should be punished." ”
As he spoke, he ripped off the spider's eight legs one by one, then crumpled them into paste.
