Chapter 19: The Strange Courtyard

Hearing the voice of the dead ghost, Wen Tiantian took a deep breath and settled down, and stepped in, followed by Qiu Yan.

The small door was closed and locked, and the two of them looked up, and what caught their eyes was an ordinary small courtyard, and in the barren courtyard there was only a large willow tree standing against the wall on the west side. In late autumn, large areas of weeds in the courtyard withered and yellowed, willow branches swayed in the wind, and only a few yellow leaves were left fluttering in the wind.

It is clear that no one has lived in this courtyard for a long time, and the six main rooms and four side rooms look solemn, but in fact they have long been dilapidated. The lifeless courtyard and the bustling streets outside are completely two worlds, and the door they just walked in seemed to separate the world from hell.

There was an inexplicable sadness in her heart, and she remembered the dead ghost. What kind of past does a woman in the flowering season have that makes her willing to keep a promise on the barren mountain for ten years?

Qiu Yan behind him looked around, his eyes fell on Wen Tiantian's slender back, and a deep dark light flowed under his eyes......

"This place used to be the residence of Lu Zhaoyan's concubine, and this concubine was still very favored."

Wen Tiantian listened to the dead ghost's comments quietly and did not speak. She always felt very depressed after entering here, haunted by an indescribable feeling.

"Look at this house, even the roof tiles are glazed! Tsk, the Lu family is indeed rich! ”

The two of them didn't see anyone in the courtyard, so they went straight in the direction of the main house. Every door was closed, the smell of corruption wafted in the air, Wen Tiantian reached out to push the dusty door, but was blocked by Qiu Yan.

"It's too dirty, I'll come."

Protecting her by half a step back, Qiu Yan directly raised her foot and kicked the door open, turning sideways to block the smoke and dust that came to her face.

"This place gives me a very bad feeling, don't touch anything with your hands when you go in, be careful."

Wen Tiantian nodded and walked in. With the dead ghost and Qiu Yan by her side, she has nothing to fear.

After a cursory sweep, the layout of the main house is clear at a glance. The place where they stood was the antechamber, and to the left was the master's bedroom, and to the right was a slightly smaller single room. The room was dark, the air was filled with the smell of dust and decay, tables, chairs and benches were piled up in a mess, and the faint sound of water came from the bedroom.

"There must be dead people in there, little girl, you better let Qiu Yan go ahead!"

Wen Tiantian's brave dead ghost knew, he was afraid that when he went into the bedroom later, if there was a row of bloodstained corpses lying neatly on the bed, the little girl would definitely be frightened and faint.

Without waiting for the voice of the dead ghost to fall, Qiu Yan, who was walking behind, had already taken her hand and said in a deep voice: "Follow me." ”

Wen Tiantian's palms were covered with cold sweat, she could only hide behind Qiu Yan honestly in such a strange courtyard, secretly glad that she didn't come alone, otherwise she would be frightened first if she didn't see anyone.

She's a person who doesn't even dare to go to a haunted house, and she can be scared to cry when she plays an escape room!

Walking in with Qiu Yan, the smell of blood gradually became stronger, mixed with dust, which made people breathless.

Suddenly, Qiu Yan held her hand tightly, blocked her with the hand holding the medicine box, and said in a low voice: "Let's go!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, there's nothing in this house, you don't have to go in."

He definitely saw it!

Wen Tiantian sighed in her heart, Qiu Yan didn't let her see that there must be something terrible in the house. Quickly turned around, and suddenly there was a stir under his feet, and he almost fell.

"Be careful!" The eye was quick to hold her, Qiu Yan took her in his arms with one hand and walked back to the front hall.

"It's a messy place, you have to pay attention to every step you take. Tiantian, you go to the door and wait first, I'll go to a few rooms and find someone out so that I can treat her. ”

"Okay, you go and get back quickly." She knew that it would be a trouble for her to follow, and she had to distract Qiu Yan to take care of her, so it would be more convenient to let him act alone.

Qiu Yan sent her back to the courtyard gate, and watched her obediently stand in front of the door before leaving with confidence.

"This man is good, reliable!"

The old and indecent voice of the dead ghost came, and Wen Tiantian pouted: "Didn't you say before that people are unfathomable, let me stay away from him?" Why did you change your mind again? ”

"Little conscienceless, I'm worried about you!" The dead ghost said unceremoniously, "I have also figured out a lot during this time, what do you care about when I am no longer here?" As long as this man is sincere to you, it doesn't really matter who he is. ”

Everyone has their own life, and when he is there, he can protect him everywhere, and after he disappears, Wen Tiantian still has to go on. If there is a capable person in this world who can take care of her wholeheartedly, she can also achieve happiness and comfort, and other things are not so important in comparison.

It seems that an old mother who is worried about her daughter is watching her son-in-law! Was the Dead Ghost really a woman in her early twenties?

Wen Tiantian rolled her eyes, she knew what Qiu Yan's character was, and the dead ghost was completely blind!

A person and a ghost stood at the gate of the courtyard and chatted without a word, as if they were friends chatting in the sun in their own yard, just a handful of melon seeds and two cups of flower tea to talk about it.

Qiu Yan's efficiency in exploring alone was very high, and he withdrew from the last wing room in less than half a burnt incense, closed the door and turned around and walked towards Wen Tiantian.

"How? Still don't see anyone? ”

"Well, Mrs. Lu is not in the house, if she doesn't run out, she will definitely hide in the courtyard."

After coming back, Qiu Yan had a trace of fishy smell on her body, Wen Tiantian noticed it, she wanted to ask about the situation in the house, but she didn't open her mouth, it was better not to listen to him tell ghost stories in such a gloomy courtyard.

Standing beside Wen Tiantian, Qiu Yan's sharp gaze roamed around the courtyard again, and finally landed on the big willow tree, and a black shadow could be faintly seen hiding in the shadowy branches and leaves, and it was difficult to find someone on it without careful observation.

"Tiantian, you said that we cut down the tree, will Master Lu deduct his wages?"

"Huh?" Wen Tiantian was stunned for a moment, followed his line of sight, and also found the strangeness hidden in the shadow of the tree, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart, "Ying...... Probably not. ”

She had seen the long-haired woman, who seemed to have been standing in the tree and staring at her from the moment they entered the courtyard, and her every move fell into her eyes, but she remained still, as if a hunter were watching her prey.

Looking at each other, Wen Tiantian could feel that the woman's gaze did not look at Qiu Yan beside her, but fell directly on her, just looking at it with a complicated expression.

"What if she doesn't come down?" Qiu Yan was on guard, and said in a relaxed tone, "Do you want me to pick up a stone and knock her down?" ”

Good fellow, you should be a bird!

Wen Tiantian broke his skills in an instant, and the fear of being stared at suddenly dissipated, and he casually picked up two fist-sized stones at his feet and handed them to him, "Throw them on time." ”

"Yes!"

Qiu Yan took the stone, and her strength was so precise that she could even hear the sound of the stone breaking through the air.

The woman standing on the tree seemed to be a mobile dummy, and with two bangs, a black shadow fell from the tree, smashing on the ground and splashing dust.

Wen Tiantian felt that something was wrong, the rumored woman was a crazy woman who could kill people, why did she stay motionless as if she was dead at this time?

Glancing at Qiu Yan, the two walked over and stood two meters away from the woman.

"Mrs. Lu, we are here to see you, please get up and speak."

The woman lay on the ground motionless, her eyes were open, there was no focus in her eyes, only the slight heaving of her chest could tell that the person was still panting.

didn't reply for a long time, Wen Tiantian was just about to get closer to see if this person had broken his brain, when suddenly his eyelids jumped, and a shocking scene appeared in front of him.

A transparent woman's figure slowly floated up from Mrs. Lu's body, it was a young woman who was completely different from Mrs. Lu, she was covered in blood, raised her resentful and vicious eyes and stared at Wen Tiantian, her lips moved slightly.

You all have to die!

"Be careful!"

The voice of the dead ghost was very timely, and Wen Tiantian pulled Qiu Yan back again and again. The floating figure of the woman disappeared, and Mrs. Lu stood up instantly, and her bone-like hands frantically grabbed the two of them!

Qiu Yan snorted coldly, took Wen Tiantian in his arms and took four or five steps back into the house, kicking up the scattered table legs.

His strength was amazing, and the thick arm of the table leg was kicked out by him and smashed into the woman's face. The woman let out a terrible scream, and her body was knocked backwards.

"Even if this woman is saved, she is still a living dead, and you don't have to keep your hands." The dead ghost's voice was very calm, and he commanded in an orderly manner, "Wen Tiantian, the techniques and martial arts I taught you should come in handy." Drag that blind female ghost out for me! ”

Soul Extraction.

This is the first spell that the dead ghost taught her, and she was originally too troublesome to learn, but she never expected that such a powerful spell The dead ghost only gave her a messy spell, and then said seriously that as long as you recite the spell, the mana will be mobilized, and you don't need to be taught by the body to know what to do.

Spells are just a key, and at her point, there's no need to think about the details, and the control of everything is just a matter of effort.

Wen Tiantian was so nervous that cold sweat soaked the broken hair on the corners of his forehead, no matter how good Qiu Yan was, he was an ordinary person, he couldn't even see the woman's soul, and he couldn't hurt her roots.

Don't steam steamed buns, fight for breath!

She's out of the way! He whispered a large series of intricate incantations, gathering all his mind to feel the changes in his body.

A clear breath spread rapidly from the dantian to the limbs and hundreds of remains, the scene shrouded in yin qi in front of him gradually became clear, and the details of the woman's movements were seen very clearly, the black clothes were not made of black cloth at all, but were weathered and condensed by blood over and over again, and there was black blood dripping from the corners of the clothes.

As the breath spread, she felt as if her body was a long-dormant treasure opened by a spell, Qiu Yan's breathing and heartbeat in her ears gradually became clear, the smell of blood and corruption rushed wildly, and all her senses were slowly amplifying the changes around her.

Mrs. Lu was knocked off by the table legs, and blood rushed out of her head and stained her long hair. But she didn't feel the pain at all, and as soon as she fell, she rolled over and stood up straight and stared at them.

Qiu Yan's attention was completely focused on Mrs. Lu, and she didn't notice what Wen Tiantian was muttering in her mouth.

The brows are furrowed, can't you die?

"Wait for me."

Leaving two words, Qiu Yan's figure flashed and instantly narrowed the distance between him and Mrs. Lu, and his fist with a sandbag rushed straight over!

Madame Lu's thin hands formed claws, and she did not evade grabbing at half of his gauze-wrapped face.

Qiu Yan didn't dare to be distracted, this was the first time he shot after his body recovered, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to try whether his martial arts were back to the same as before.

With a long hand, his fist smashed into Mrs. Lu's face first!

Bang!

The woman with teeth and claws is flying out again!

Wen Tiantian, who was already preparing to make a move, could see clearly that such a fierce man made her suddenly feel that she didn't need to cast a spell.

In the face of absolute strength, the madman who pretended to be a ghost was completely crushed, and he didn't return the phone at all.

"What are you doing? Come on! The dead ghost also saw Qiu Yan's moves, and immediately urged in a hurry, "You are here to make money, and the silver will be gone if you beat people to death, hurry up!" ”

Wen Tiantian was shocked when she heard this, she came in vain if she didn't make any money, she didn't want to waste time on this empty trip.

Seeing that Qiu Yan was about to rush up and give her a few kicks again, it seemed that she wanted to beat people until she lost the ability to resist before stopping, Wen Tiantian quickly yelled when she saw this.

"Qiu Yan, stand back!"

Without much thought, he quickly changed his gestures with his hands under the guidance of his body, allowing the spiritual power to flow in his body, and kept repeating the incantation in his mind.

With the mobilization of spiritual power, the surrounding aura was also changing, and Qiu Yan, who was retreating not far away, paid attention to Mrs. Lu's strange behavior, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of what Wen Tiantian was doing.

Shocked in my heart, this girl is still a goddess?!
