Jingci Courtyard.

In the living room, the fourth lady, Ruan Huiying, was still sitting at the table and sipping tea.

The maids cleaned up the tables in the side hall and cleaned the house.

Time passed little by little.

When all the maids had left, and the night was getting dark, Ruan Huiying stood up and walked out.

She stood in the corridor, thought for a while, turned her head to look to the side and said, "I'm going to go to the Guanyin Hall in the back to make incense, and the two of you can follow me." ”

With that, she walked down the steps.

Several female guards glanced at each other, and two of them followed.

Two maids carried lanterns and lit the way in front.

An old woman with a cloak followed.

The group walked out of the gate and towards the garden behind.

Walk through the garden and behind is a bamboo forest.

A few people stepped on the soft bamboo leaves and continued to walk forward.

At this time, Ruan Huiying suddenly turned her head, looked at a female guard behind her, and said, "You should be a newcomer, right?" The Guanyin Hall behind this, have you ever been here? ”

One of the people who followed behind was a nightingale dressed in a white shirt and red dress.

The nightingale bowed her head slightly and said respectfully, "The subordinate is indeed a newcomer. The chief housekeeper said that behind this is the place where the lady worships Guanyin, and other people can't come casually, and his subordinates have not come. ”

Ruan Huiying's face showed a touch of self-deprecation: "What is a place to worship Guanyin, but it is just a place to seek peace of mind." If Guanyin really has a spirit, why should my child suffer this pain for the rest of his life. ”

The nightingale did not speak again.

Walking through the bamboo forest, a small courtyard with red walls and green tiles appeared in front.

On the gate of the small courtyard are written three big characters "Guanyin Hall".

It was pitch black and silent inside.

The old woman with the cloak walked over first and pushed the door open.

Two maids carried lanterns and walked in front with their heads bowed.

Ruan Huiying walked in with a solemn expression.

The nightingale paused as she entered the door, and her right hand released something behind it.

But after she entered the door, a figure suddenly jumped out of the big tree next to her, and with a cold flash in her hand, she had already cut down what she had just released.

"Squeak......

The gate is closed.

In the courtyard, the moonlight was shining, and it was cold and silent.

The old lady went into the house and lit the oil lamp and candle inside.

The hall was lit up.

On the high platform in the middle of the hall, there is a stone statue of Guanyin, and in front of the stone statue is an offering platform, on which are placed some melons and fruits, as well as incense burners.

Ruan Huiying entered the house, lit the incense burner first, took a few sticks of sandalwood, lit them in her hands, and then knelt down in front of the statue of Guanyin.

The two maids retreated to the corner of the hall.

Nightingale and another female guard, one on the left and one on the right, stood outside the door.

At this time, the old lady said in the house, "Come in, both guards, the door is open and cold." The incense is worn for a long time, sometimes all night. ”

Nightingale and the other guard looked at each other and had to go inside.

The old woman came over and closed the door.

Cigarettes were curling in the house, and the stove was rising.

Ruan Huiying knelt on the ground, holding incense in both hands, lowered her head, and was silent for a long time, Fang slowly raised her head, looked at Guanyin in front of her, and said in a deep voice: "What kind of sin has my child created, and God wants to treat him like this?" ”

No one responded.

The entire hall was silent.

Ruan Huiying looked at the statue of Guanyin again and knelt for a long time, until the sandalwood in her hand burned out, Fang slowly lowered her head and closed her eyes, as if she was making a wish.

The night passed quietly.

Outside, it was early in the morning.

After a long time, Ruan Huiying raised her head and muttered in a low voice: "Since God doesn't save my child, then I'll save it myself...... I'm not wrong, it's not me who is wrong......"

"Of course it's not you ...... that's wrong"

At this time, behind the statue of Guanyin, a man's hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

Immediately, a man in a black robe and a mask slowly walked out from behind the statue of Guanyin.

"Bang!"

Nightingale and another female guard, their faces changed, and they immediately pulled out the knife at their waists.

"Who?"

Another female escort asked.

The man wearing the mask walked out of the shadow of the Guanyin statue, stood under the light in front of the altar, glanced at the two of them, did not answer, and said lightly: "Fourth lady, today's woman, not bad, very good...... Especially the ...... on the left"

His gaze fell on Nightingale's tall and graceful figure and delicate and cold face, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I love ......"

His voice was hoarse.

Ruan Huiying was still kneeling on the ground, looking at him calmly and said, "How is my child?" ”

The man wearing the mask stared at the beautiful female guard in front of him for a while, and said: "Very good, the woman's Yuan Yin is a great supplement, especially the beautiful woman's Yuan Yin, I like it, and he also likes ......"

Ruan Huiying bowed her head slightly and said, "She is a cultivator of the Demon Suppression Academy. ”

As soon as these words came out, the nightingale was startled, and suddenly took a few steps back, approaching the window behind her.

But at this moment, she suddenly found that the star power that was still surging in her body just now suddenly stopped.

At the same time, she began to feel that her body was weak, her whole body was weak, and her breathing became rapid, as if there was a flame rising from her lower abdomen and soon burning all over her body.

The same was true of another female escort.

Nightingale was frightened, and hurriedly turned around to push the window open, but found that the window was closed, and he did not have the strength to push it.

Her feet went limp, and she suddenly leaned against the wall, and slipped limply.

One of her hearts suddenly sank into the bottomless abyss.

"You ...... Are you demons? ”

The man wearing the mask showed a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes under the mask gradually turned scarlet.

He didn't answer, just smirked, lifted his steps, and walked towards her step by step.

Nightingale's face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice, "You...... Who are you? ”

The man's scarlet eyes flashed with covetousness, and his voice said hoarsely: "It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to know that we are about to become one." Don't be afraid, it's ...... soon."

The nightingale trembled and raised the knife in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "You...... Don't you think ......?"

At this time, the fourth lady, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly spoke: "She is from the Demon Suppression Courtyard, will she cause trouble to my children?" ”

The man did not answer, stopped in front of the nightingale, then stretched out his finger, flicked it lightly, and with a "clang" sound, the short knife in the nightingale's hand fell to the ground.

"The people of the Demon Suppression Courtyard, better, I'm more excited......"

He smirked and stretched out his hand, which suddenly filled with black mist and squeezed directly at the nightingale's neck.

At this moment, with a "boom", a sharp arrow suddenly flew out of the corner next to him and shot at his throat!

The man's face changed, and his outstretched hand suddenly turned, and with a "snap", he grabbed the sharp arrow accurately!

The sharp arrow suddenly disappeared in his hand.

At this moment, a maid came out of the corner, and it was one of the maids who had just carried a lantern for lighting.

At this time, she was holding a jade bow with a whole body of turquoise, a sharp arrow that seemed to be forged of gold, which was already on the string.

On the tip of the arrow, there was a faint glow of turquoise.

"Did you finally show up?"

The voice of the maid turned out to be the voice of the Wind Team Tang Wu.

The man's gaze suddenly looked at the fourth lady who was kneeling on the ground, and the corners of his mouth gradually cracked: "You betrayed me." ”

Ruan Huiying slowly stood up from the ground, looked at him with hatred, gritted her teeth and said, "I just don't want to be deceived by you anymore!" You won't help me save my child at all, you'll just slowly pull him into the abyss, and then become like you, not like a man, not like a ghost......"

The man's voice was hoarse and cold: "He can't turn back, and if you do this, you will kill him." ”

Ruan Huiying smiled sadly and said, "I'd rather he die now than see him become like this by you again, living by cannibalism...... It's not a human, it's not a ghost, it's not my child......"

A black mist rose from the man's body, and he stared at her gloomily and said, "So, you have already colluded with these demon slayers?" ”

Tang Wu said in a cold voice: "Is this called collusion?" You collude with him. No, you're just using her, you're just trying to destroy her and her son step by step, what is the deep hatred that makes you go out of your way to do this? ”

As soon as the words fell, the arrow in her hand suddenly shot out.

At the same time, the man's figure suddenly flashed and pounced on Ruan Huiying who was nearby.

At this moment, the old lady suddenly flashed behind Ruan Huiying, and slapped his face with a palm.

The man hurriedly punched out.

"Bang!"

Both of them were shocked.

When the old lady stepped back, she had already pulled away Ruan Huiying in front of her.

At this time, Tang Wu's arrow arrived again.

Without any hesitation, the man suddenly jumped and landed next to the statue of Guanyin, and then waved his hand and scattered a cloud of black smoke with a "bang", which instantly covered everyone's sight.

Tang Wu was about to chase after him, but suddenly remembered something, and immediately dodged in front of the nightingale, and at the same time turned his head to the outside and shouted: "Ah Tian, Ah Jing, guard the outside!" ”

"Roger!"

Liu Tiantian's voice came from outside.

Nightingale still felt weak all over her body and couldn't stand up, and said, "Captain, am I poisoned?" ”

Tang Wu looked in the direction of the fourth lady and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The fourth lady said in the smoke: "The water that several of their guards drink is poisonous, it should be a drug, and it will attack after three hours, and he gave it to me." I have his man there, and if I don't do that, he won't come out. ”

Tang Wu suddenly asked, "Do you know who he is?" ”

The fourth lady sighed and said, "I don't know, I've never seen his face, but his height and temperament are ......."

Tang Wu suddenly said, "It's a bit similar to the big butler, right?" ”

The fourth lady said: "Yes, but he is a man......"

Tang Wu suddenly got up and pushed open the window, took out another pill and stuffed it into the nightingale's mouth, and said, "Ah Ying, you stay here first, let's go chase him!" This time, he must not be allowed to run! ”

After speaking, she immediately pushed away the remaining smoke in front of her with one palm, and her figure flashed, and she had already swept behind the statue of Guanyin.

The fourth lady said, "Every time he will come out of there and take the maids away......"

"Boom!"

At this moment, Tang Wu suddenly smashed his fist into the back of the Guanyin statue.

The whole statue of Guanyin suddenly cracked open, and a large hole appeared in the back, which was pitch black and could not see the bottom.

At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open.

Liu Tiantian and Yang Jing suddenly rushed in.

"Captain, what about people? Not outside! ”

Tang Wu picked up the oil lamp from the table, walked to the back of the stone platform and said, "There is a cave in the Guanyin statue, he should have entered from here, and there should be other exits inside." Ah Tian, you immediately go to the attic in front of you, look at the small courtyard houses around you, and the others will go in with me. ”

Liu Tiantian immediately agreed and swept out.

After Tang Wu finished speaking, he had already taken the oil lamp and took the lead in the cave.

Yang Jing and Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei immediately followed.

In the main hall, it was quiet.

The nightingale sat on the ground for a while, and found that she seemed to have regained some strength.

She leaned against the wall and slowly stood up.

At this time, the fourth lady, Ruan Huiying, walked towards her step by step from the corner, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her voice suddenly changed to the voice of the masked man just now, and said hoarsely: "Okay, they are all gone, and now, we are the only ones left here." I said, to be one with you......"

The nightingale shook.
