During the day, the Yin family's courtyard is a paradise in the city, warm, fresh and leisurely, which makes Zhang Ziyu yearn for it.

Now, at this moment, night fell, and the Yin family's courtyard had changed.

The place is still the same place, the things are still the same things, but everything is wrong.

The restaurants and printing shops on this side of the street closed early, and the buildings on that side were unlit, and the streets on this side were only street lights, which were several degrees darker than the other city streets.

Walking from the south gate of Jiangzhou Normal School, it seems that I have entered a different dimension and come to some eerie ghost domain.

Of course, there is no one here.

Next to the dignified Jiangzhou Normal School, before eight o'clock in the evening, there was no one.

There are also very few cars.

Standing in front of the printing shop, Zhang Ziyu looked to the opposite side, and there were a few dark clouds in the sky above the small courtyard; Pressed by dark clouds, the small courtyard looked very depressed.

It's different from the weirdness of the day, and it's a bright sense of horror at the moment. Haunted house indeed!

"Why don't we come back tomorrow?" He suggested.

During the day he was able to withstand it.

"I'm going to take Xue Xue to the pet hospital tomorrow......" Ling Shijian replied, "How can we waste so much time here?" ”

As she spoke, she took the lead and walked towards the opposite courtyard.

Zhang Ziyu swallowed his saliva and had to follow her.

On the empty and dark street, the sound of their footsteps was a little harsh, Zhang Ziyu looked down, he was wearing sneakers, and he didn't know where the sound came from.

He tried to lighten his pace, and it was a little better.

Walking through the street and coming to the car, he motioned to Lingshi Sword to stop: "I'll take a stick!" ”

"Chirp~"

He opened the car, took out the baton, and carried another handful of chocolate chips in his pocket.

"Don't be nervous." Ling Shijian looked at him and smiled comfortingly, "It's just a little ghost." ”

"Is this a ghost?" Zhang Ziyu didn't believe it.

He carried a short stick and took the key to the door, he looked back, and saw that Lingshi Sword was empty-handed, and said, "Where is your sword?" ”

"You don't have to worry about me." Lingshi Kendao, "That's my natal sword, if you want to take it out, you can do it at any time." ”

"Okay!"

Zhang Ziyu took a deep breath, inserted the key into the lock hole, and twisted it......

"Click!"

The lock cylinder pops open.

With his left hand, he pushed the door open.

"Hoo ......"

Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the courtyard, and Zhang Ziyu sensed that the wind was like a hand, pushing himself out.

He tried to see, but saw nothing in the wind.

"Boom la la ......"

The branches and leaves of the loquat tree in the corner also shook in the wind.

He stepped over the threshold and into the courtyard, heard the sound of leaves clashing, and looked over to the loquat tree.

"There is a loquat tree in the garden, and it was planted by my wife when she died, and now it is like a pavilion!"

The phrase came back to his mind.

There is a high probability that this supernatural event was caused by Yin Lijuan's grandmother, if there is a ghost, it is her grandmother.

That is, the wife in this sentence.

The emotion disappeared from his heart for a few moments, and turned into fear.

The loquat tree is a little more indescribable; This courtyard is a little more gloomy.

He glanced into the courtyard, found nothing, and felt that the Ling Shijian behind him had walked into the courtyard, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Did you find the ghost?" Use your invincible sense of killing intent to find out. ”

"Ghosts?" Lingshi Sword's voice came, cold.

When he looked back, he saw Ling Shijian staring at the pipa tree and said, "Someone is pretending to be a ghost!" ”

"What?" He didn't understand.

"I said......" Ling Shijian retracted his gaze and looked at him.

Then, she just stared at him like this, like a card, stared at him for two seconds, and suddenly asked, "What did you say?" ”

“？”

Zhang Ziyu felt that something was wrong with Ling Shijian, and he was vigilant in his heart, and replied: "I said how to find ghosts?" ”

"Looking for ghosts?" Ling Shijian was puzzled, "What the hell are you looking for?" ”

“？？？”

Zhang Ziyu frowned slightly, secretly clenched the short stick in his hand, and said, "Do you remember?" We're here to catch ghosts tonight. ”

"Ghosts?" Ling Shijian asked.

Then, the corners of her mouth curled up strangely, like a smile forced by Miss Manners.

She asked, "Is it a ghost like this?" ”

As soon as the words fell, blood slid down from the corners of her eyes, and the blood was ruffling, as if the major arteries had been cut, and it couldn't stop flowing out, and her skin quickly wrinkled, as if the blood in her body was flowing out of the corners of her eyes, and her skin instantly became dry and wrinkled.

In the blink of an eye, she was fifty years old.

"I ...... I ......"

In this situation, Zhang Ziyu was finally prepared, although he was still frightened, but he could still stabilize in the end. He kept taking deep breaths, slowly retreating, pulling away from him, and the voice in his throat shouted, "it!!" ”

"Are you afraid of me?" Ling Shijian asked.

At this time, there was a weird smile on the corner of her mouth, blood was dripping from the corners of her eyes, and her skin was dry and wrinkled, how could Zhang Ziyu not be afraid?

"Who are you?" But he raised his bat and asked aloud.

"I'm your poetic sword!" Ling Shijian said.

"You don't ......"

Before Zhang Ziyu finished speaking, the Lingshi Sword on the opposite side suddenly disappeared.

He didn't want to think about it, and pumped it back!

"Whew!"

The stick sliced through the air and made a cracking sound, but he was out of the air.

One stumbled, almost fell, and barely stood firm on the rattan chair at his feet.

Prediction fails.

He bent his knees, ready to stand up, as he looked forward......

A bloody wrinkled face was right in front of his eyes!

"!"

He was so frightened that he burst into tears, and the only strength in his life was pulled out with a stick!

"Smack!"

What he hits, the sound feedback is different.

But he didn't seem to hit anything, because the stick still didn't have the strength, and he stumbled forward, and finally there was nothing to borrow.

"Poof!"

He slammed sideways into the bluestone ground, his arm aching. He didn't pause, his arms were bouted, his feet were bent, and he stood up.

But when he looked around, the dark courtyard was empty, and he was alone.

Silence, breeze, darkness...... Fear!

Zhang Ziyu took a few deep breaths, clenched the short stick in his hand with both hands, and tried to shout: "Grandma Ni, I'm here to help you......"

No one responded, only the sound of the wind whimpering in the air.

His arm was cold, Zhang Ziyu took the time to take a look, it was rubbed and bleeding.

"Hoo ......"

"Is the poetry sword replaced, or am I confused?" He suppressed the fear in his heart and forced himself to start thinking, "The poetry sword has been replaced? She is a monk with a high level of cultivation, and it is not so much that she has been replaced......

"It's my own problem!!"

"Yes, Shijian's strange behavior just now......"

"Ziyu?" There was a murmur of the Spirit Sword in the air.

Zhang Ziyu followed the prestige, and under the pipa tree, there was a young Lingshi sword who walked into the loquat tree with his back.

He subconsciously took a step and wanted to go over to take a look, but after taking two steps, he hurriedly stopped.

"Don't go over!" He reminded himself, "That's not the Spirit Sword, it's an illusion......

"Yes!" He reacted, "It must have been intentionally asking me to go to the loquat tree!" ”

"There's something wrong with the loquat tree, I should stay away from ......," he thought, stepping back towards the loquat tree.

But after taking two steps back, he thought, "What if it's playing rebellious and actually wants me to stay away from the pipa tree?" ”

He looked back, and behind him was the ear room of the small courtyard, and during the day, Yin Lijuan took him in to see it, which was the place to put sundries.

"Just stay put, just to be on the safe side."

"No...... he realized another problem, "if something is wrong with me, then my actions are real or false."

"If my eyes were just mesmerized, wouldn't I still be in reality and my body would react...... Did I hit the poetry sword with that stick just now?

"If I'm just conscious of it, what is her purpose?"

He suddenly remembered the master of the rivers and lakes who was still unconscious.

"If my body is still controlled by me, then Shijian is by my side, and she will definitely not let it go......"

"Heha......" As soon as he thought about this, an old laugh came from the small courtyard.

It was an old woman's voice, hoarse and poignant.

He looked around, but saw no one.

"What a smart boy!" The hoarse old woman's voice said.

"Are you Grandma Ni?" Zhang Ziyu asked. Yin Lijuan's grandmother's name is Ni Min.

"You're so smart, guess?" The old woman said.

"Yin Lijuan said that her grandmother is a very gentle person......" Zhang Ziyu said, "You are not Grandma Ni." ”

"Gentle people?" The voices in the air fell silent.

Yin Lijuan said that her grandmother likes animals and likes to raise cats and dogs. Grandma is very caring and has helped many poor students. Grandma also loved flowers and plants......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Ziyu's mind suddenly flashed, and he remembered that during the day, the yard was very clean, there were no traces of cats and dogs, and there were no flowers and plants.

The yard was so clean, only that one loquat tree!

"Alas......" the old woman's voice sounded again, "no wonder they say that those who are too clever do not live long!" ”

"Whew!"

The wind is up!

Zhang Ziyu sensed something, turned his head to look, and saw that the world outside the small courtyard had disappeared, turning into a black hole of nothingness, and the nothingness pressed towards the small courtyard.

The strong oppressive force creates the wind.

This is Grandma Ni not pretending...... Or rather, she can't pretend anymore. Zhang Ziyu was too smart to see through her tricks, she couldn't break him down with fear, she could only forcibly kill him.

"You don't have to kill!" Zhang Ziyu was anxious and shouted, "Why do you want to kill someone? ”

"Why kill people?" Grandma Ni's hoarse voice smiled, "Because I like to kill!" ”

"Nope! No, I believe Yin Lijuan, her grandmother is not a murderer. Zhang Ziyu affirmed, "I'm going to die, why don't you tell me the truth?" Let me die understand? ”

The small courtyard was quiet for a few seconds, and Grandma Ni sighed: "You are really good......

After speaking, she didn't say anything anymore, and let the void devour the small courtyard.

"Are you going to die?"

Looking at the emptiness of the black hole outside the courtyard, Zhang Ziyu's heart was unclear for a while.

He walked to the gate of the small courtyard and stretched out the short stick, silently, and the short stick was suddenly half swallowed by nothingness.

He hurriedly stepped back, slightly calculating the speed of the Void Devouring and the distance from the Void to the center of the small courtyard......

"About seven or eight minutes to go."

He had less than ten minutes left to live.

……

"Someone is pretending to be a ghost!" Ling Shijian said coldly.

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Zhang Ziyu and continued, "It's not a ghost, it's a demon!" ”

She pointed to the pipa tree in the courtyard, "This is a pipa spirit!" ”

But as she spoke, she suddenly found that Zhang Ziyu's eyes were dilated, and she stood there dumbfounded, without any reaction to her words.

"Dementors?" She wondered.

She walked towards Zhang Ziyu, and as soon as she held her right hand, a transparent sword appeared in her hand.

"Ziyu?" She called.

Zhang Ziyu stood stunned and did not reply.

She didn't say a word, the sword in her hand lit up, the mana worked, raised the sword, and slashed at Zhang Ziyu.

At this moment, there was a sound of breaking the air......

Collecting the sword, turning around, the white clouds covered the top, and she slashed down with a sword.

"Whew!"

The sword aura was sharp, and something was stabbed by her in two sections.

She stared to see a loquat branch falling to the ground.

"Hoo ......"

There was a loud sound in the air, and she looked up again, and saw that the branches and leaves of the pipa tree in the corner were stretched wildly, like foaming foam, and the branches and leaves were like human hands, using fists and sticks, coming towards her.

Covering the sky and the moon, dozens of branches soon filled the entire courtyard.

"Little dryad, there are still a lot of means!" Ling Shijian sneered.

She toe a little, the whole person flew out of thin air, the sword in her hand lit up, the sword qi unfolded, and between the leisurely breaths, she was fast and turned into a shadow.

In this night, the sky is full of shadows of trees, and the sky is full of human figures. The sword that lit with white light in the figure's hand turned into neon as the figure moved rapidly.

"Brush Brush ......"

Sharp blades prune branches.

In an instant, as if time and space had stood still, the Lingshi Sword fell together, and the figures scattered and closed, all of which were on the rattan table in the courtyard.

She stood on the rattan table, holding her sword upside down, her eyes indifferent.

"Boom la la ......"

The sky was full of loquat branches falling like rain.

"The carving insect skill also dares to get an axe!" Lingshi Sword snorted lightly.

With that, she raised her sword and stepped forward, and the green dragon went out to sea and stabbed at the trunk of the loquat tree.

She sensed that there were strong mana fluctuations in the trunk.

She was very fast, only five or six meters from the rattan table to the loquat tree, and she was there in the blink of an eye.

The tip of the sword sank into the trunk of the tree!

That's when ......

"Poof! Burst! ”

Two soft sounds.

Two thumb-sized objects shot out of the trunk of the lute tree.

Ling Shijian's face changed, and he put away his sword and returned to defense!

"Dangdang!"

With a swing of the sword, two unidentified objects were blocked.

But she didn't continue to attack, but turned around and flew towards Zhang Ziyu.

Because she vaguely realized what that thing was.

Sure enough, she had just flown back to Zhang Ziyu's side.

"Puff puff ......"

Countless thumb-sized things shot out of the pipa tree, like a barrage, covering her and Zhang Ziyu.

"Dangdangdang......"

Ling Shijian danced the sword in his hand without ink, and the sword light formed a sword curtain, guarding her and Zhang Ziyu.

That thing was like a bullet, it lasted for more than twenty seconds, and I don't know how much the loquat tree shot, and when it stopped, Ling Shijian immediately turned around, picked up Zhang Ziyu, used his skills, and flew out of the small courtyard.

Flying all the way to the pavilion next to the small courtyard, Lingshi Jian put Zhang Ziyu down, and put the two fingers in his right hand together, forming a sword finger, transporting mana, and pointing at Zhang Ziyu's eyebrows.

……

Nothingness had swallowed the courtyard wall, and Zhang Ziyu sat on the rattan table in the middle of the small courtyard, watching the nothingness slowly press over.

Many times, death is not terrible; The process of waiting for death is even more terrifying.

"Obviously I haven't started cultivating yet...... he looked at the emptiness that pressed over, and gradually felt suffocated, "The first time I went on a mission, the first time I slay demons and eliminate demons, I was gone." What am I? Nineteen lines?

"Alas, he has lived for twenty-five years, and he has not yet finished his virgin body." He thought endlessly in his mind, "I still had a chance to become a great magician, but I didn't expect to be like a child." I heard that it was very fast, and I didn't have a chance to verify it.

"I don't know if I died like this, if I died with hatred and resentment, will I become an unjust ghost? Turned into a ghost, and then came back to Grandma Ni for revenge? ”

Thinking of this, he felt amused and smiled.

But soon, he was a little sad again:

"My parents have raised me for so many years, and before I could be filial to them, I died. How sad should they be when they lose their children in middle age? ”

But he thought, "Anyway, I don't have any skills, and I can't help them by myself." The car is still bought by them. I'm dead, and they're missing the old me, and they'll be better off. ”

In the yard, Zhang Ziyu checked everything that could be checked, but he hadn't been around the loquat tree. In the process of devouring nothingness, the loquat tree was not devoured.

He looked at the pipa tree and asked out loud, "Grandma Ni, let's discuss, how about letting me live?" I can be your dog. ”

But Grandma Ni didn't reply.

"That fierce woman outside likes me very much, if you kill me, she will definitely fight with you." He had sensed that this was a false space.

Nothingness was near, less than ten centimeters from the rattan table.

"I knew she was a big talk......er," he began to think again, "why should I trust her?" ”

But he prayed again: "Shijian, save me quickly!" Get me out, and the old man will be a cow and a horse for you......"

Before he could finish speaking, a white sword tip clicked through the void and appeared in front of him.

“…… Finish. He finished.

With a slash of the tip of the sword, the void will be broken!

Zhang Ziyu only felt that the cloth that blocked his vision in front of him was lifted, he opened his eyes, his vision recovered, and he looked left and right, the night was blowing, and he was in the pavilion.

And Ling Shijian, right in front of him, squinted at Danfeng and looked at him with a strange smile.

"Hoo ......"

Zhang Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm back, I'm saved!" ”

"You just said that you want to be a cow and a horse for me?" Ling Shijian asked.
