The ghosts and ghosts approached the castle like a god, and Zheng Jia was still worried that there were people inside, so he deliberately used his soul to probe it again, and only after making sure that there was no one before going to the gate.

But the door opened on its own initiative, and not only did it open, but it made a sharp sound that could even puncture the eardrums, and a large group of bats flew out of it, so startled that all the big guys half-crouched down, waiting for the group of bats to leave.

Inside the gate, there was only a darkness that could swallow people, and there was more oppression invisibly, Zheng Jia couldn't hear any sound other than his heartbeat and breathing, and then looked inside, and he didn't know why, a fire lamp hanging on the wall was lit, as if it was welcoming these seven people.

Everyone looked at each other, the largest chandelier inside flickering, making a screaky sound of creaking metal rubbing, and even so, they walked in.

The main hall was spacious, but the floor was covered with dust and bat droppings, and for some reason, a breeze was blowing inside.

The smell of carrying this slight dust and bat feces greeted Zheng Jia and the others, so that they covered their mouths and noses at once, although the smell is not very unpleasant, but after all, bats are poisonous, and the feces are more or less toxin.

When you enter the room, you have to deliberately avoid the luminous sand on the ground.

In addition to the spaciousness of this room, there is another feature, that is, the things in the main hall, such as the guqin pipa, the guzheng erhu and other musical instruments, these things are placed in a regular manner, but all of them are covered with white cloth, which is obviously made by the owner of the castle before leaving in order to prevent the instruments from eating dust.

But if you are such a lover of musical instruments, why don't you take them with you?

"Yes, anyone?"

There was silence all around, and Xiao Yu, who was relatively timid, shouted tremblingly, and the empty echo bounced through the room, making it even more weird.

"Let's all go separately to see, if there is no one, we will stay here temporarily, if there is someone, see if we can be accommodating, it is really not possible, we can only find another other. Zheng Jia said slowly, this look is really different from what he used to be.

After receiving the instruction, the six of them explored the past in different directions, and those who were less courageous like Xiao Yu walked together with Hong Mingtian.

After about half a cup of tea, everyone gathered together and reported the situation of the entire castle, not to mention people, not even a ghost.

"That's okay, the big guy will stay here first, the yin and cold around him are heavier, remember not to catch a cold. ”

After a brief explanation, Zheng Jia glanced around and saw that there was a fireplace, and the fire in the fireplace had been extinguished early, but the burned charcoal was still there.

Frowning slightly, Zheng Jia was a little strange, and thought to himself, could it be that the owner of this castle went out on a long trip? No, even if he went out of the house, he shouldn't leave the charcoal, otherwise if one accidentally burns up, it won't be good.

However, this is the middle of Xintiandi, and if you can have such a huge castle in such a place with abundant vitality, this owner should also be a person of extraordinary strength, right? If you don't guard your own territory in Xintiandi, there is a high probability that it will be seized by others, could it be that you have been poisoned?

No, no, no, this is simply impossible, the surrounding appearance has obviously been cleaned up, there is no trace of a fight at all, and the dust in no place is new, and the possibility of being poisoned is really not high.

Thinking in his heart, Zheng Jia felt more and more strange, who could the owner of the castle be?

After a closer look around, there are really not many clues around, it looks like such an ordinary castle, but if it is really an ordinary castle, why would it burn the wall lamp and open the gate by itself?

With a series of questions, Zheng Jia never got answers, and his strong desire for knowledge made him absent-minded.

It's weird, it's just weird.

"What's wrong, mysterious?" Nan Xiao walked up to Zheng Jia's side, looked at him thoughtfully, was really worried, patted him on the shoulder, and asked.

When he came back from his thoughts, Zheng Jia saw that only Nan Xiao was left, and all the others were absorbing the vitality after choosing a room.

"It's fine. ”

After a slightly simple response, Zheng Jia also chose his own room and meditated and cultivated.

But this time, he always felt that he couldn't sit still, and as soon as he crossed his legs, he felt that something was wandering in his mind, but he didn't know what it was.

This strange feeling lasted until that night, Zheng Jia opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief, for four or five hours, there was no progress in cultivation at all, and he was completely harassed by something.

This made him a little unbearable, but fortunately, when it was time for supper, the big guys all gathered together, leaning on the edge of the fireplace, the flame in this fireplace was very warm, it was only the first day they entered the new world, and there was still more mutton in the stone, and in a short time, there was no need to worry about the food at all.

But a new problem has arisen, and that is tonight, which seems to be a bit unusual.

It's not a big deal, it's just a gust of night breeze blowing outside the window, and a continuous "whirring" sound through the window, which sounds a little scary.

But just as Xiao Yu was about to close all the windows, he found that all of them were closed......

If the window was closed, then where would this wind come from? And when Xiao Yu remembered that she had come to this place with a burst of yin qi, she had a premonition that something unpleasant would happen.

Running down the stairs in a panic, Xiao Yu ran while shouting, and finally pounced and threw himself into Hong Mingtian's arms, so that he had a sense of security and dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with you? Stroking Xiao Yu's face, Hong Mingtian asked a little strangely.

"The windows and windows are closed, and they are closed tightly!" Xiao Yu shouted excitedly while pointing to the window in the corridor, and almost danced.

"Hmm? And then, wouldn't it be nice to close it? What's all the fuss about?" Looking at the position where Xiao Yu pointed his finger, Hong Mingtian didn't see anything, but looked at Xiao Yu's eyes, just like caring for the mentally retarded.

"I'm talking about the window! the window is closed!" Seeing that her husband hadn't understood what she meant, she began to point to the window over there again, but Xiao Yu didn't know what to say.

"Yes, then what? The window was closed by you, and now it's windless, are you stupid? No fever, oh~ I know, you must want a reward, right? This is for you!"

Following Xiao Yu's meaning, Hong Mingtian looked over, but still didn't find anything abnormal, and put his hand on her forehead again, not hot, no fever, but then he thought he understood what it meant, and kissed her on the lips without saying a word, as a reward.

"Oh, you're nasty! I'm talking about the wind, I'm going to close the window, and it's closed!"

"Well, yes, got it, you're great. ”

"You mean, there's wind in the castle, but it's not blowing in through the window, right?" Nan Xiao still understood the girl's thoughts, and said as she baked her hands.

The flames of the fireplace lit everyone's faces red, but when Xiao Yu hummed a few times, everyone seemed to be stunned.

The windows are closed, where does the wind come from? There shouldn't be anything unclean in this room, right?

Just thinking about it, the fire in this fireplace became flickering and dimming, and for some reason, it would automatically rise without wind, and it seemed as if the fire was alive.

"Forget it, don't scare yourself, there's anything unclean, it's all fake. Fei Xuan naturally didn't believe in these cow ghosts, snakes, and gods, and explained to the big guys.

After a while, after everyone had a full meal, Fei Xuan and Hong Mingtian tried it outside, just cultivation is not very useful, it has to be actual combat to make sense, the two outside quickly fought evenly, but it was unusually quiet inside.

As soon as he came here, Zheng Jia couldn't cultivate, if he didn't solve this problem, otherwise staying here would only have disadvantages and no benefits.

Trying to meditate again, Zheng Jia felt the changes in the vitality around him, the vitality here was very abundant, but he just couldn't absorb it, which made him a little impetuous.

After forcibly adjusting it, Zheng Jia seemed to understand that it was not the problem of the vitality around him, but the problem of himself.

Thinking about it carefully, it is true that since I came here, I have become abnormal, and when I close my eyes, I will see the two sisters and brothers who have just died, and I even feel that my mood is depressed for a while, and I don't know why I am depressed, I have an urge to commit suicide.

Closing his eyes, releasing his soul, and wrapping his whole body, Zheng Jia found that the picture in his mind was revealed again, this time the difference was that it was no longer Zheng Yuan and the others, but a non-human and non-beast thing.

The thing looked like a cloud with no fixed form, floating in front of my eyes.

"It's ......"

After muttering, Zheng Jia wanted to reach out to grab him, but he grabbed it empty, and the thing ran away into the distance.

What followed was a burst of swelling in his head, and the pain instantly spread all over his body, and I don't know if it was because of that thing, this swelling pain was very different from the past, and he didn't even have the desire to resist.

"What the hell are you!!"

While covering his head, he asked the other party in a low voice, but the other party's answer was only silence.

The soul power was gradually revealed, Zheng Jia gathered his eyes, and then looked at the non-human and non-beast thing, but saw a different content.

What he saw now was a sturdy man, his face was pale, his mouth was cracked wide, he was not wearing a single piece of clothing, and his exposed skin was full of knife wounds, axe wounds, and sword wounds, and he looked extremely hideous.

If this is placed in a place where everyone can see it, it is estimated that it will scare a group of people, but what he appears now is in Zheng Jia's mind.

Since even the place where it appears is so special, this person must not be a person, right?

Closing his eyes, retracting his soul, and when he opened his eyes again, Zheng Jia saw the cloud-like thing that was neither human nor beast, and when he saw this, he understood what this thing was.

Spirit animals.

It's just that this spirit beast is even more special than the natural spirit animal.

The natural spirit beast refers to a spirit beast with a natural attribute that is extremely destructive and extremely difficult to deal with, there is no entity to speak of, but what is in front of Zheng Jia's eyes is the emotional spirit beast.

As the name suggests, this spirit animal has the same effect as the natural spirit animal, but the difference is that the emotional spirit animal can be both physical and non-substantial, and it will only appear in human emotions.

This kind of spirit beast, the weak one can't pose much of a threat to humans, but if it's strong, let alone sneaking into people's emotions, even if it's a fabricated thing out of thin air, or it directly touches something, it's okay.

If you have to make a bold guess, just before a group of people came to this castle, the door suddenly opened, followed by a large group of bats flying out, and then hanging lights and flames, all of which can be understood as emotional spirit beasts at work.

Or even be bolder, what if this castle didn't exist? What if the wind with the windows closed wasn't necessarily the wind? What if the surrounding energy was fabricated? If this was done, how strong would this emotional spirit beast have to be to control so many things?

Like this kind of spirit beast, it is very difficult to cultivate, in addition to relying on the corresponding emotions, it can only use the soul of the prey as bait, but the soul will not play a vital role in its cultivation.

And the only way to defeat this spirit animal is to surpass yourself in the corresponding emotions.

Judging from Zheng Jia's previous performance, the corresponding emotion of this spirit beast should be grief.

"It seems that you have to be serious!" Holding back the swelling of his head, Zheng Jia had to cover his soul and sneak up on the other party.

He hadn't dealt with this kind of spirit beast in his previous life, he only knew that this kind of thing existed, and this attack was a hit, but it only hit the cloud-like object, and it didn't cause any damage to the other party.

The grief spirit beast also realized that its position was exposed, but it was not in a hurry, first raised its big hand, and saw a yellow light shooting into Zheng Jia's body.

This beam of light did not cause him any damage, but only shot into his body, and when he looked at Zheng Jia's side again, the whole person fell to his knees, only to feel a more severe pain in his head.

Just this time, Zheng Jia felt that his whole body couldn't exert his strength, except for the feeling of cracking in his head, he didn't know why, his eyes were full of tears, as if they were smoked by chili peppers, garlic and onions, and he couldn't stop it.

What he saw was no longer a grief spirit beast, but a return to the picture of Zheng Shu and Zheng Yuan dying in front of his eyes three or four days ago, the peace and quiet, as if he was on the spot.

Not to mention the two sisters and brothers, even if it is the surrounding wind, the surrounding rain, the surrounding thunder and lightning, all the people around are exactly the same as that day, as if, this is the scene of the incident.

But this time, Zheng Jia clenched his fists tightly, his eyes stared at the two of them, he knew that this was just an illusion, but he still wanted to take a look at his younger brothers and sisters.

Tears overflowed from his eyes, and when he touched their faces again, they had become cold, and Zheng Jia could feel that the two of them seemed to be beckoning him.

"Brother, come on, we're at home, waiting for you to come back." ”

"Brother, you haven't taught me how to practice the Pure Yang Sword Technique. ”

It seemed to be a different scene, and this time he saw that in the dark, the two siblings beckoned to him, trying to lure him along.

He knew that this was still an illusion, but he didn't know why, and the ghost made the gods follow him almost immediately, as if there was an invisible force pulling him to make him ...... Gradually descent into darkness.

Following the past, Zheng Jia is now in a darkness, the sister and brother have disappeared, but he seems to have fallen into an endless abyss.

The feeling of cracking in his head was reduced a lot at this moment, as if this darkness was the cure for it, Zheng Jia gradually came to his senses, and his soul was released again.

It doesn't matter if this release is released, but what you see in front of you is the scene of your past life.

His father died in front of his eyes, Zheng Yuan guarded the city gate alone for him, and Nan Xiao was controlled by demons and died in his own hands......

All of this is vivid, Zheng Jia can even feel that his body seems to be disobedient and is holding a dagger.

Almost with tears, at this moment, although he was still resisting in his heart, the hand holding the dagger still stabbed his heart.

The emotional spirit beast turned into a human form, grinning with a cracked mouth and spitting out a long black tongue, looking very excited, as excited as seeing delicious food.

"Hmm......"

The dagger was getting closer and closer to his heart, and he wanted to control it, but he couldn't raise any momentum, as if his body was being controlled by the other party.

"Hey, how are you?"

Just before the dagger could stab the main stab, Fei Xuan pushed the door slammed in, and even the floor was shaken with a loud sound.

There was already a lot of light around, it was already morning, and Zheng Jia was frightened by this huge movement, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he vomited out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted.

Seeing this, Fei Xuan's eyes couldn't help but widen, he didn't expect that a reckless move would make the third child spit out a mouthful of blood, could it be that it interrupted his cultivation?

stepped forward and hurriedly helped him up, but fortunately, Zheng Jia's life was not in danger, and at the last moment of fainting, he showed a shallow smile, as if he was grateful.

This makes Defeixuan even more unclear, what is the situation?

Lying in the room, summoning the rest of the partners, and talking about it, everyone's faces became a little solemn, and the sensitive Hong Mingtian had already seen that something was wrong, and wanted to ask something, but he didn't know how to speak.

Zheng Jia fainted, and now he was afraid that someone would take advantage of this loophole, so he said, and some of them went outside to guard, leaving only Fei Xuan and Hong Mingtian in the room.

"Don't you think the third child is very strange these days?"
