Chapter Seventy-Five: The Ghost Knocks at the Door
"Knock...... Knock knock ......"
"Knock...... Knock knock ......"
Ye Qing, who was contemplating "The Idea of Emperor Xi's Ride", suddenly heard a rhythmic knock on the door.
The knock on the door is long and short, and there is a pause, which is very rhythmic and rhythmic.
"Yunlai Restaurant?" Thanks to the surge in spiritual power, Ye Qing easily judged that the knock on the door came from the Yunlai Inn.
"In the middle of the night, could it be that some drunkard is addicted to alcohol?"
"Knock...... Knock knock ......"
The knock on the door, still unhurried, rhythmically sounded, especially loud and clear in the silent night.
"No, there's something wrong with this knock!"
Suddenly, Ye Qing raised his eyebrows, feeling that something was wrong, because the knock on the door had been ringing for so long, but the guys from Yunlai Restaurant didn't react at all.
In addition, the long and short knocks on the door seem to have some kind of strange rhythm, which is creepy.
"It's weird!"
Ye Qing touched his chin and hesitated to go down and take a look.
But just then, the knocking on the door stopped abruptly.
"Stopped?" In the dark, Ye Qing's eyes flickered brightly and darkly, like a broken candle.
"Knock...... Knock knock ......"
However, at this moment, the knock on the door sounded again, and it happened to be the Boundless Bookstore.
With a long and two short knocks on the door, an ominous, icy and piercing aura slowly spread in the bookstore.
"Quack ......"
The kung fu frog, which had been sleeping soundly, suddenly croaked twice uneasily, while the little girl flickered, burrowed into the book, poked out only one head, and looked out of the house with a nervous face.
"Knock...... Knock knock ......"
The knock on the door sounded again, and at the same time, the ominous and fortunate in the bookstore became a little thicker, and even contaminated with a thick dead air.
Ye Qing on the second floor only felt that his soul seemed to be infected by death qi, and began to decay and wither, and his divine thoughts began to disappear little by little.
"Huh?"
Ye Qing frowned slightly, visualizing the Xihuang riding diagram, the figure of the Xihuang Emperor instantly appeared in the sea, a gorgeous chariot passed by the sky, and under the bright light, the gloomy and lifeless aura that invaded the sea of knowledge was instantly annihilated.
"Something pretending to be a ghost, get out of here!"
The next moment, Ye Qing stood tall, a ray of light burst out of his eyes, the empty room was electrified, the words were like thunder, and a violent wave of air was born out of thin air in the bookstore, and the doors and windows, tables and chairs, and tea cups were rattling and shaking, like a violent storm.
All the gloomy and ominous aura was dispersed together.
At the same time, the knock on the door outside the house also stopped abruptly!
Ye Qing's figure shook and appeared directly outside the house, but unexpectedly, there was no one outside the door!
"What the hell is it?" Ye Qing rubbed his eyebrows, and immediately looked at the Yunlai Restaurant opposite, with a little footstep, like a phantom, breaking through the window and appearing in the restaurant.
"They're all dead!"
Ye Qing looked around, his figure swayed and disappeared, and after three breaths, his figure reappeared in the lobby and sighed.
The people in the house were indeed dead, not only the men, the cook, but also the guests who stayed overnight, no less than a dozen people, all of them died.
And all of them died in the same condition, without any external injuries on their bodies, but all of them were lifeless, their faces were gray, and their eyes were blank, as if they had lost their souls.
"Weird, or human?"
Ye Qing touched his nose and muttered to himself.
"Whoosh ......"
As soon as the words fell, a sharp wind whistle broke through the window, Ye Qing's heart was shocked, his two fingers were clamped in the air, and a pitch-black crossbow arrow appeared between his fingers.
The crossbow arrow was powerful and heavy, and the moment it was caught by Ye Qing's fingers, the force was still inexhaustible, and he suddenly dragged his palm and moved back half an inch.
"What a force!"
Ye Qing's eyes flashed, his two fingers were forced, and the crossbow arrow was slammed into two sections.
But the next moment, the rain hit the plantains, the swishing sound was inexhaustible, and countless crossbow arrows broke through the windows, and the entire door and window instantly turned into a sieve.
"Humph......"
Ye Qing snorted coldly, his sleeves were swept up, ethereal like flowing clouds, soft as flowing water, and the crossbow arrows in the sky were swept away in an instant.
"Flying Sleeves"
"Come and don't be rude!" Immediately, Ye Qing's sleeves flew up, fell and slammed, and the crossbow arrows that swept into the sleeves broke out of the window at a faster speed than when he came.
"Dangdangdang......"
There was a clanging sound and some muffled grunts outside.
"Bold demons, dare to kill innocents indiscriminately, and they will be captured without restraint!"
Immediately afterwards, an angry shout sounded outside the house, like a thunderstorm, the whole door of the house shattered, and a burly and stout man, like a tiger, rushed in, and every step fell to the ground, the masonry was shattered, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
"Die!"
In the blink of an eye, the man rushed in front of Ye Qing and smashed it down with a punch.
Although it was just a simple fist punch, this punch fell, but it was full of momentum, and the fist intent was unparalleled, with an indomitable domineering and fierceness.
Before I punch, no one else!
"Good boxing!"
Ye Qing's eyes lit up, his feet were rotated half an inch from left to right, the masonry under his feet was crushed inch by inch, and his sleeves were instantly as solid as steel, and he shot out horizontally and hit the man's fist.
"Boom ......"
The strength escaped, the tables and chairs in the room were shattered, and the man's right arm drooped, staggered back, and retreated until he was outside the house, before he stopped, his face was full of anger, like an enraged beast, his eyes were blood-red, and he rushed towards Ye Qing again.
"Ah...... Dead ......"
"Tiger slave, stop!"
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded, and the burly man who was rushing towards Ye Qing stopped and looked to the side.
Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed in green, with a beautiful face and a gentle temperament, slowly walked out of the shadows, followed by a group of people in black armor with bows and crossbows.
"Yun Yan, Jing Anwei?" The woman who appeared was Yun Yan whom he had seen at the gate of the City God Temple before.
And those armor soldiers with crossbow arrows are the famous Jing'an guards of the Jing'an Division, each of whom has the cultivation of the Qi Condensation Realm, and his strength is not bad!
"I seem to have seen you, you are the one who followed behind Yan Xian Ling at the gate of the City God Temple that day!" Yun Yan slowly walked towards Ye Qing and spoke.
"Miss, be careful!" The burly man named Hu Nu stepped forward and stood in front of Yun Yan, staring at Ye Qing with a solemn expression.
"It's okay, I believe he's not a murderer!" Yun Yan smiled: "How can someone who can be with Yan Xian Ling be a bad person?"
Ye Qing arched his hand and said: "Miss Yun Yan is wise, under Ye Qing, the boss of the Boundless Bookstore!"
Yun Yan smiled: "I heard that Wuya Bookstore has a new boss, but I didn't expect it to be you, and you are also a hidden master!"
"Let Miss Yun Yan smile, it's not worth it for a little effort!" Ye Qing said modestly.
"Childe is modest!" Yun Yan said softly, looked at the dead man in the restaurant, and said, "Dare to ask Ye Gongzi, what happened here?"
Ye Qing replied: "Don't hide it from Miss Yunyan, I don't know what happened specifically." In fact, I had only heard a knock on the door before, first at Yunlai Restaurant, which rang three times and then stopped, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time. Then, there was a knock on the door in the Boundless Bookstore, and I only felt an ominous aura, and when I chased the smell out of the house, I didn't find anyone or anything strange. ”
"Immediately after, I realized that something was wrong, so I came to Yunlai Restaurant, and as a result, everyone died!"
"Hmph, who knows if what you said is true or not?" The tiger slave's eyes widened, staring at Ye Qing deadly, and he said angrily: "Maybe you killed these people!"
"Hehe, I have no grievances with them, why do you want to kill them?" Ye Qing smiled: "Besides, if I really killed them, I would have fled a long time ago, how could I be stupid enough to stay here and let you get the stolen goods?"
"Miss Yun Yan, what do you say?"
Yun Yan naturally believed Ye Gongzi. Yun Yan smiled lightly, then turned around, checked the deceased, and said softly: "According to Gongzi's judgment, is the murderer a human or a monster?"
Ye Qing said firmly: "Weird!"
"Oh, how can you see it?" Yun Yan's eyes were like water, and she looked at Ye Qing curiously.
Ye Qing said: "The girl has checked those dead people just now, and she must have found that these people have no scars on their bodies, and they died at the same time, it is difficult for people to do this, at least I can't! ”
"Ye Gongzi is right!" Yun Yan nodded: "But just in case, we have to trouble Gongzi to go with us, I hope Gongzi understands?"
"Hehe, don't be so troublesome!" Ye Qing waved his hand: "I probably know where that weird is?"
"You know?" said the tiger slave's eyes widened.
"Well, I probably know!" Ye Qing nodded, ignored the tiger slave, looked at Yun Yan and said, "Miss Yun Yan, wait a minute, I'll pick up something, I'll come right away!"
"Bold, who let you go!" Hearing this, the tiger slave grabbed Ye Qing's shoulder, but the next moment, his fingers went straight through Ye Qing's body and slowly shattered.
The tiger slave was stunned for a moment, only to realize that it was just an afterimage, and the real Ye Qing had long since disappeared.
"Hugh escape!" the tiger slave yelled, and was about to catch up, but was stopped by Yun Yan: "There is no need to chase, if he really wants to escape, we will definitely not be able to catch up, and even if we catch up, we will not be able to stay." ”
Tiger slave: "......" girl, this is too true!
"Besides, I'm sure he won't run away!"
Yun Yan said lightly, her tone was firm and calm, as if everything was under control.
After about half a cup of tea, Ye Qing's body flashed, appeared at the door of Yunlai Restaurant, and said to Yun Yan: "Follow me!"
With that, he took the lead and walked forward.
"Keep up!" Yun Yan and the others glanced at each other, followed Ye Qing, and disappeared into the night.
