The night was deep, and the people in the post house had already fallen asleep, and the lanterns under the porch swayed gently in the night, reflecting the courtyard more and more quiet.

However, outside the inn, there were torches.

Countless Xifan soldiers armed with swords, bows and crossbows surrounded the post house, and with the order of the leading general, they broke through the gate and broke in.

The inn, which was as calm as water, seemed to be suddenly thrown into the surface of a lake of stones, and suddenly rippled.

It's just strange that someone suddenly broke in, but the people in the post house seemed to be sleeping too soundly, and no one came out to check. Even the guard who was supposed to be on patrol was gone.

Looking at this mansion that seemed to be still sleeping, the generals led by him couldn't help frowning.

"Bang!" The soldiers kicked open the door of the bedroom, but there was no panic and screams inside, and there was no one to be seen.

The same was true for the next few rooms.

The soldiers finally realized that something was wrong: "General, there is no one in the room!" ”

The general's heart couldn't help jumping, could it be that they couldn't run away?

The king has been asking people to keep an eye on this place in secret, and it is clear that Princess Yong'an has appeared during the day, walking in the courtyard to feed the fish. In the evening, I also saw many figures walking around in the courtyard.

If a few are gone, it's fine, but the Zhou people who live in the post house, but there are more than 100 people, how can they disappear out of thin air all at once?

"Search for me!" The general frowned fiercely, he didn't believe in this evil!

"Yes!" The soldiers obeyed the order, raised their torches and searched for other places.

At this moment, I saw a group of figures coming from far and near under the corridor.

They were lined up in a neat line, and when they got closer, they could faintly hear the sound of their footsteps and the sound of their swords grinding against their shirts.

It's the patrol guard in this inn!

The soldiers drew their swords and shouted, "Stop! ”

Unmoved, however, the guards continued their way down the porch.

When the soldier saw this, he said no more, and took up his knife and slashed at the man in front of him.

What was surprising was that the blade touched the guard's neck without the slightest feeling of cutting the flesh, and it slid through his neck so lightly.

The expected gushing of blood did not appear.

The guard didn't move his eyebrows, but walked forward, as did everyone behind him.

Everyone in the courtyard watched as the patrol guard passed through the soldier's blade, and then through the soldier's stunned body, and continued to follow the original rhythm, moving forward along the corridor, like a group of wandering spirits patrolling the courtyard.

"Hell!" Someone exclaimed.

The soldiers in front of them couldn't help but retreat again and again, lest one accidentally touch the group of spirits.

"Pretending to be a ghost!" The general's eyebrows were raised, and there was a fierceness in his eyes.

He raised the broadsword at his waist and slashed behind the guard.

Like the soldier before, the broadsword touched as if it were nothing, and it flew through the body of the guard, slashing into the air.

"General, this ......" The lieutenant general beside him couldn't help but swallow as he watched the guard continue to walk forward as usual, "I'm afraid this is not a living person......

"What if you're not alive?" He has been on the battlefield for many years, and he doesn't know how many dead souls he has, how can he be afraid of a few ghosts and evil spirits?

"It's not a living person, then, the general's big knife, I'm afraid it may not hurt him." A slightly hoarse voice came from behind him.

Then, I saw a monk dressed in Dharma robes and surrounded by people.

When the general of the "National Teacher ......" saw the visitor, he hurriedly hugged his chest with his right hand and bowed down to salute.

He bowed slightly, then turned his gaze to the patrol guard who was fading away from the porch. Immediately after, his feet moved slightly, and he followed the figure of the guard.

Along the porch, through the atrium, and then through the courtyard...... After a stick of incense, it returned to its original place, and this team of escort spirits also happened to inspect the entire post house.

And so on and so forth.

Whoever looks at it, it's a normal patrol team.

The night was deep, the lights were flickering, and figures were walking around.

If you don't touch each other personally, who would have thought that the guard, who is no different from ordinary people, is not a living person?

As Tuozhi followed the steps of the guards and walked around the post house, the general also ordered his soldiers to carefully search the rest of the rooms and courtyards.

However, to his disappointment, apart from the team of wandering spirits, there was really no one in this huge post house.

Since Xiao Lingjiang was poisoned during the banquet, Pei You used this as an excuse to expel all the Xifan people in the post house, and only the Zhou people were left to serve.

Now, those Zhou people have completely disappeared!

The general's thick eyebrows tightened, and he looked at Tuozhi: "National teacher, look at this ......"

"It's a phantom array." Tuozhi twisted the rosary in his hand, and his voice was slightly deep.

"From the beginning to the present, the patrol guards have never deviated too far from the path under their feet, and the sound of their steps, the friction of their swords and their clothes is the same as before."

"Look around again, the lights under the porch are beating, the branches and leaves in the courtyard are swaying, and the wind is blowing through the hall...... How could their frequency change not follow the same rhythm and go back and forth? ”

The general's face changed greatly when he heard this: "In this way, we are now in the middle of the formation!" ”

Tuozhi sighed lightly and nodded helplessly. The moment they stepped into the inn, they were already in this phantom array......

At this time, on the top of a hidden mansion in the royal capital, someone was looking at it from afar.

The night breeze is thin, the wheel shaft rotates in the lamp, and the picture keeps moving on the screen with various colors of light and shadow.

The maid who prepares food in the morning, the child who cleans the courtyard, the maid who brings tea and water, the guard who patrols back and forth, the master who strolls leisurely, and the house where night falls......

If you get close and listen carefully, you can still hear all kinds of noise faintly coming from inside.

What the people of Xibo see during the day and at night is like this spinning lantern.

Xiao Lingjiang lowered her head and looked at the lantern in her hand, and the turning shadow of the lamp made her eyes more and more rippling: "Tuozhi and the others, it's time to enter the battle at this time......"

Pei You, who was beside her, stood with his hands in his hands, and nodded when he heard this: "Bon and Tantra have been fighting for several days, and Mu Chi Zampu should also figure it out." ”

Once he figured it out, the first thing he would do was to take the lives of both of them. In this way, there is no one to help the Bon sect secretly, and it is only a matter of time before this chaos is put down.

Xiao Lingjiang is proficient in occult arts, and there are many masters of the Xuanmen beside him.

As the two were talking, they saw a bright starlight in the direction of the inn crossing the sky, and then a second and third stream, flashing in the sky, and then disappearing.

Xiao Lingjiang smiled lightly: "I've entered the formation." ”

"Send a signal to Master." She waved her hand, and He Zheng immediately took the order and left. (End of chapter)
