Chapter 75: The Abandoned Ancient House
At noon the next day, Jun Bu abandoned the short blade on his back, left the inn, walked around the city by himself, and secretly sent a little puppet of Lingjing, pretending to be a middle-aged tourist, and went to the antique shop.
There are three floors in the antique shop, the first floor is mainly for selling some ordinary objects, the second floor receives some distinguished guests, and the third floor is the real place for selling magic utensils.
Under his covert observation, he found that on the second floor of the restaurant opposite the antique house, there were two suspicious characters sitting near the window watching this side.
The person who watched was probably a monk, and the little puppet didn't dare to look at it much, so he only observed silently with his peripheral vision.
The shopkeeper Gu Wancheng didn't look suspicious, but there was a trace of sadness between his eyebrows.
The little puppet didn't go up to talk, and walked around the store for a long time, but he didn't see the figure of Senior Brother Gu and those nephews, and he was somewhat puzzled, so he bought a teapot and left.
He was going to go to the restaurant opposite, go up to the second floor to find a window position, and secretly observe the antique restaurant. Although Gu Wancheng doesn't look like there is a problem, I'm afraid that others are also acting.
Moreover, he also wanted to confirm whether Senior Brother Gu and they were really killed.
In addition, he also had to secretly observe the two people who were watching the antique zhai, and he estimated that the two people who were secretly monitoring the antique zhai should be squatting on him.
In this way, Jun Buqi observed here for a few days, but nothing happened.
It wasn't until the evening of the seventh day, when the middle-aged man transformed into a spirit crystal puppet walked out of the antique house with some frustration, that a figure looked sneaky and walked in with his body.
The middle-aged man pretending to be a little puppet frowned slightly, this lean man looked like a stupid thief, this sneaky look, was he afraid that others would not know that he was a thief?
The middle-aged man turned into a little puppet was about to leave, but the next moment he turned back and looked at the jade pendant in the thief's hand.
The thief took the jade pendant and handed it to Gu Wancheng and asked Gu Wancheng what the price was.
Gu Wancheng's brows furrowed directly, and he looked over and over with the jade pendant.
Just when Gu Wancheng's expression was a little wrong, the thief snatched the jade pendant again, "I won't sell it!" and then turned around and walked.
When the thief left the antique house on the front foot, an errand came to inquire on the back foot.
It was evident that the officers had come after the thief, and the thief did not know that behind him, in addition to the officers, there were two waves of men and horses following.
Not far behind these errand officers was a young girl in Tsing Yi and several people who looked like guards.
The girl in Tsing Yi didn't look like an ordinary person at first glance, and the guards who looked ordinary were not like ordinary guards, they were very capable, like sergeants.
And behind them, there is also a middle-aged man with a little puppet who will not give up.
However, the little doll secretly changed its appearance and body shape a few times, and it was already a teenager at this time.
chased and dodged, and I don't know if the three errand officers were really too poor, or the thief was too slippery, and after more than half an hour of pursuit, Ren didn't catch the other party.
Seeing that the twilight was approaching, behind them, a guard said to the girl in green clothes: "County Lord, it's getting late, you can't wait any longer, let's catch the thief first and torture it slowly!"
The girl in Tsing Yi looked at the sky, hesitated, and saw the thief get into a dilapidated and dilapidated old mansion, "Okay! Grab him and torture him slowly, maybe this dilapidated old mansion on the surface may not be their lair." ”
Receiving the girl's affirmative answer, the guards rushed into the house like wolves.
"Little Liu, Ah Qi, you are guarding outside, don't let that thief slip away. ”
When the last two guards heard this, they had no choice but to retreat and stay outside the door.
The little puppet who followed them turned into a young man, looked up at the sky at the corner of the alley, and then looked at the faint yin qi in the ancient mansion, and shook his head silently.
Then, he performed a technique of earth escape, silently approaching from the ground.
In the ancient house, the dead leaves are everywhere, the barren grass is vines, the doors and windows are broken, the doorposts are mottled with paint, cobwebs can be seen everywhere, bird droppings are dotted, and the dilapidated atmosphere is blowing in the face.
As soon as the evening breeze blew, the sound of creaking doors and windows was heard, which made the twilight a little more gloomy and made people feel a chill down their spines.
The three servants followed the thief in for a long time, but they were nowhere to be seen, and there was no shouting or cursing.
After the ten guards around the girl rushed into the house, they scattered, and only one female guard stood by the girl's side and walked towards the main hall of the old mansion.
At this time, a pale-faced old and thin old man, carrying a lantern, walked out of the main hall and asked in a hoarse voice, "I wonder why the little lady broke into my house for no reason?"
The girl was startled by the pale, withered, and stiff old man, and the female guard stepped forward to block between the girl and the old man.
The girl calmed down, and then wondered, "Isn't this place deserted?"
The old man coughed lightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "This place was indeed deserted before, but my master is about to return in the near future, so I asked the old man to come over and take care of it first, and the old man is preparing to find someone to clean up and renovate this place in the next few days." The little lady hasn't told the old man yet, what's the matter here?"
The girl pondered and said, "We came in after a thief, and when we saw that this place was deserted, we didn't inform the old man, I'm really sorry, let's go." Wei Lun, it's over!"
But at this time, in addition to the whirring wind, what responded to them was the sound of a group of bleating sheep in the backyard, which made the old mansion look even more eerie.
The corners of the old man's lips pulled a somewhat disgusting smile, and said: "The old mansion is quite big, maybe the little lady's subordinates have run to the backyard, it is difficult to hear the little lady's call, why don't the little lady go to the main hall for a while! ”
The female guard narrowed her eyes, shook her head and said, "Don't bother the old man, let's wait outside the house, I'm really sorry for our reckless behavior before!"
The female guard took two steps back and motioned for the girl to leave the place.
The girl also felt that something was wrong, so she bowed and turned away.
"Since you're here, don't go!"
At this moment, a figure swept out, drawing a knife and slashing towards the female guard.
The sword is vertical and horizontal, making people a good hand at first sight.
The female guards drew their swords against each other, and when the swords struck, the female guards took a few steps back.
When the girl in Tsing Yi heard the movement, she turned to look, and saw that the old man with the lantern suddenly showed a smirk at her, and then the mouth suddenly opened wide and turned into a monster.
Where had the girl in Tsing Yi seen such a battle, she was immediately frightened and screamed, and fell to the ground, unable to even hold the long sword in her hand.
"County Lord......"
The female guard turned her head and looked, but was trampled on the abdomen by the young man with the knife, "Fighting against my crazy knife Ah Biao, you still dare to be distracted and look for death!"
Outside the house, the two guards who looked at the wind heard the sound of fighting inside, and heard the screams of the girl in Tsing Yi, and suddenly felt bad and rushed in directly.
The female guard shouted, "Ah Qi, go back and report quickly!"
"How easy is it to go!"
Another voice sounded, and a white shadow floated out, chasing after the guard Ah Qi.
