When Gao Ning led the team of guards to Taiqing Lake, it was already midnight.

Not only could I not see the moon tonight, but even the starlight became vague, and the extreme corner was hazy. However, Gao Ning didn't care, because there was not even a ghost around Taiqing Lake now.

Gao Ning thought that tonight was the same as before, it was a dull and quiet night, but when he inadvertently looked at Taiqing Lake, the whole person stood there as if petrified.

At the same time, the faces of the other guards also changed, and their eyes showed deep fear, because everyone saw an incredible thing happening on the shore of Taiqing Lake.

Taiqing Lake is not big, because it is in a low-lying place, it will lead water to form a lake, and trees are planted all around, making Taiqing Lake appear more quiet and become a scene in the palace.

Because it is not big, even if the starlight is dim tonight, Gao Ning is outside the woods, but he can still vaguely see its full picture.

Gao Ning and all the other guards could swear to heaven that there would be absolutely no one on the side of Taiqing Lake until they patrolled to Taiqing Lake.

But when they were about to leave Taiqing Lake, they saw an extremely strange and terrifying scene.

The originally silent and empty lake suddenly lit up with a little turquoise light, which was not bright, but it looked extremely eerie.

Then the turquoise point of light slowly rose from bottom to top, and when the point of light rose, everyone involuntarily held their breath, and then their eyes became more and more frightened.

Because as the point of light rose, everyone saw a figure gradually appear under the imprint of the point of light.

The first pair of feet appeared, then the legs, the waist, the chest, and finally the chin of the figure.

When everyone saw the face that was as green as a ghost, their whole body tensed, and their hearts seemed to jump out of their chests, and the whole body couldn't help but tremble.

The miserable green face stared at the godless eyes, looked around blankly, and then the whole head seemed to float in the air, constantly floating back and forth, left and right.

When Zhou Jin told this, her eyes also became extremely frightened.

Su Shi sighed, looked at her with pity, and then gently held her hand.

Feeling the warmth in Su Shi's palm, Zhou Jin's heart gradually stabilized.

Just when everyone was frightened by this strange and terrifying situation, finally someone couldn't stand it anymore and let out a miserable cry.

"Ghosts! Ghosts! ”

This miserable cry seemed to alarm the ghost, only to see the miserable green point of light suddenly extinguished, and the figure also disappeared by the Taiqing Lake at the same time as the point of light was extinguished.

As the ghost disappeared, everyone's hearts rose to their throats, their gazes became more terrified, and then they grasped the hilt of the sword at their waist at the same time.

Everyone's breathing became extremely rapid, and their eyes were fixed on the place where the ghost had disappeared. However, after a long time, there was no movement on the edge of Taiqing Lake, as if what had just happened was just a nightmare for everyone.

"Head, now...... Now what? ”

A trembling voice rang in Gao Ning's ears, and he turned his head to find that the other guards were pale and looked at him with frightened eyes.

Gao Ning gritted his teeth, suddenly pulled out his waist knife, and shouted: "It doesn't matter if he is a human or a ghost, it is our duty to protect the peace of the palace." Even if it's a ghost, are we still afraid that it won't work? ”

After hearing this, all the guards pulled out their waist knives.

With the waist knife in hand, the sharp blade flashed in the starlight, and everyone's hearts settled down a little.

Gao Ning raised his waist knife and slashed in the air, as if he wanted to slash out the fear in his heart with the help of the blade.

Then he cried out, "All of you go down with me." ”

All the guards shouted in unison, "Yes." ”

Gao Ning was in front, and the guards followed, through the ring of trees, and then jumped down a foot high dirt slope.

But after they all jumped down, Gao Ning waved his hand lightly, and everyone immediately dispersed, forming a semicircle, slowly surrounding the place where the ghost disappeared.

Although there was nothing in front of them, everyone's heart was pounding as they approached.

"Watch out for the ground." Gao Ning shouted again, "See if there are any traces left." ”

"Did you find any traces?" Hearing this, Su Shi couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Jin shook his head stiffly: "Gao Ning took the janissary guard to light a torch in the place where the ghost disappeared for a quarter of an hour, and found nothing except their footprints. ”

Su Shi didn't seem to think it was strange, but asked curiously, "How do you know that the ghost is Lu Chi's ghost?" ”

"With the help of the ghostfire, all the guards can clearly see that the ghost is wearing the costume of a eunuch, and although his face is dyed turquoise by the ghostfire, its appearance is deeply ingrained in the mind of every janissary who sees it."

Su Shi still didn't understand: "In the palace, I'm afraid that there are only a few people who know Lu Chi, and those guards shouldn't know who he is even if they record his appearance." ”

Zhou Jin didn't answer him, but was silent for a while, and said slowly: "This matter is not over yet. ”

The firelight shone on the faces of Gao Ning and the Praetorian Guard, each of them becoming frightened and distorted, and then looked at Gao Ning together.

Because the whole thing can't be explained except by hell.

Gao Ning held the handle of the knife tightly, but his heart was extremely dazed, because the whole thing was completely beyond his cognition and imagination.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a terrible cry suddenly sounded in the distance.

The screams were shrill and miserable, all the more terrifying in the silence of the night.

Everyone's hearts lifted again, and then they all looked in the direction from which the cry had come.

Then everyone's eyes suddenly became distracted, and they looked into the distance in disbelief.

In the direction from which the cry came, several ghostly fires were swimming and flying around, and then the ghostly fires danced faster and faster, and finally flew into the air, and then dissipated without a trace with the wind.

Hearing this, Su Shi looked at Zhou Jin in a daze, and couldn't help touching his forehead: "And then?" ”

Zhou Jin looked at him with a strange expression, because she found that no matter how strange and terrifying things were, Su Shi didn't seem to take it to heart at all.

She really couldn't figure out why there were such people in this world.

It's just that she's not in the mood to ask right now, because what happens next is the key to the whole thing.

As the ghost fire gradually disappeared into the air, suddenly another sharp and sharp voice sounded.

"Two days and one day, woe will come to you. One day in the air, one day in the abyss. ”

Hearing this, Su Shi's originally indifferent expression suddenly changed, becoming extremely serious and dignified, and a trace of inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes.

After a long time, he looked at Zhou Jin and asked slowly, "Is this sentence what Lu Chi said after he lost his mind?" ”
