Chapter 428: Staying in the Ancient Mansion for a Night's Rest

Looking at the two huge blackened lacquered wooden doors in front of him, for some reason, Meng Juntong felt that it looked like the mouth of an ancient giant beast. And the red lanterns on both sides of the gate, which have been dimmed, are more like the eyes of a giant beast.

Meng Juntong tried to unleash her spiritual power, but a thunderclap exploded in the sky, and her spiritual power, which was originally spreading outward, was suddenly dissipated by the influence of the thunder.

In fact, she had already discovered this problem in the forest before, and the weather of the thunderstorm had a great impact on her mental power. In the rain curtain, the coverage area of her spiritual power weakened from the original three hundred steps to less than a hundred steps left, and if there was a thunderstorm, all the outgoing spiritual power would collapse and be out of her control.

Meng Juntong rarely had a feeling of fear and horror, she has always relied on spiritual power, especially after stepping into the fourth dream, she has been expanding her mental power almost every moment, making the distance of hundreds of steps around her body become her absolutely safe domain, and now suddenly there is no field, and only the place that can be seen is within reach of the naked eye, she feels like she has suddenly lost an eye, which makes her heart full of apprehension.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Meng Juntong didn't knock on the door, Agnis on the side was a little puzzled. I finally met a family in this mountain, what are you hesitating about?

Meng Juntong pursed his lips and looked sideways at Bai Yu, now Bai Yu needs a warm and dry place very much, otherwise he will definitely be very sick.

No matter what, even if it's Longtan Tiger's Den, you have to go in and break in.

Meng Juntong reached out and touched the huge copper ring on the door, and gently knocked down twice.

The brass ring slammed into the door's tiger-headed brass lock, making a muffled sound.

There was no movement for a long time, and Agnis looked at Meng Juntong: "Why don't I go in and open the door!"

Meng Juntong glared at her: "Since it is inhabited, how can it be like this, climb over the wall and enter, do we want to be thieves, if the master's family treats us as thieves, they will not take us in." ”

As he spoke, there was a sound of clattering footsteps behind the heavy gate, as if someone was walking in this direction.

Meng Juntong's eyes lit up, but her body was subconsciously tightened, she was guarding against something.

With a creak, the wooden door was slowly pushed open a crack.

Agnis leaned over to the crack in the door and looked inside, "Hello, we thought, oops?......"

Before the greeting was finished, she seemed to be frightened, and the whole person rushed backwards and stammered, pointing in the direction of the gate with a frightened face, and shouted, "Yes...... There's a ghost!"

Meng Juntong's footsteps moved sideways, slid away a little, and his body was like a bow of strings, ready to be released at any time.

"Little girl, how can you still be afraid of ghosts when you dare to run into the mountains in the middle of the night?" an old woman's voice came from behind the door, and as the door was slowly pushed open, a lantern moved out, and then a strange thin face appeared.

Previously, under the light of the lantern fire, Agnis almost thought that she had seen a grimace, and although it didn't look as terrifying as before, this dignity really made people feel a little palpitating.

Meng Juntong came to the old man with Bai Yu on his back and bowed respectfully: "Old man, sorry to disturb, the three of us were suddenly hit by this thunderstorm in the mountains, and my sister was weak and already a little sick, so I want to borrow the precious land to stay for a night and recuperate a little, I don't know if it can be convenient." ”

The old woman raised the lantern in her hand and looked at the white feather crawling behind Meng Juntong: "Come in with me." ”

Meng Juntong was overjoyed: "Thank you, old man." ”

The old woman pushed the door open a little wider, and let Meng Juntong carry the white feather on her back and walk inside: "You don't need to thank me, my master is a bodhisattva, and he can always help passers-by in the mountains." ”

Agnis followed Meng Juntong into the door, she had seen this house from a high place before, it was a very grand house, there were several courtyards inside and outside.

"The master of your family must be a very powerful person, or a hermit of the fairy family or something. Agnis asked.

"Xiao Ai!" Meng Juntong immediately stopped Anice's unobtrusion.

When going out and borrowing someone else's house, the most taboo thing is to inquire about the owner's private information, let alone her being so open-mouthed.

The old woman didn't seem to care much about this, and led the three of them to a side room on the left side of the courtyard.

"The rest of the houses, recently thunderstormed, are a little leaky, the owner's house is being renovated, so I have to work hard a few times, crowded. The old woman took the candle and lit it, and the house was soon illuminated.

The room is quite spacious, and there is a very fine rosewood tub in the room.

Meng Juntong took off the coat on Bai Yu's body and let Agnis hang it on the wooden rack on the side.

"Old man, I don't know where your fire room is, I want to boil a bucket of hot water for my sister, give her a bath, and drive away the dampness and cold. ”

The old woman had already turned around and was about to leave at this moment, she turned her head and said leisurely: "I will bring you hot water in a while, a few guests, although our host is hospitable, but he does not like guests to walk around the house at will, and please rest early." After saying that, the old woman had already pushed the door and walked out slowly.

Meng Juntong felt a little strange, but the most important thing at the moment was Bai Yu.

The room was full of girls, so Meng Juntong simply took off Bai Yu's wet clothes, and then wrapped her in a blanket on the bed, Bai Yu was still feverish and her body was very hot.

Agnis said as she undressed and squeezed the water on it, "I always felt weird here, but I just couldn't put it into words. ”

Agnis is a pure martial artist, and his perception of some special auras is not as good as that of a cultivator.

Meng Juntong has already noticed the strangeness, for example, the old woman just now, Meng Juntong can be sure that she is a person, but her body is contaminated with a thick corpse gas, which is the smell of frequent contact with dead things.

"Let's stay only one night, and we won't have any more extraneous branches. Meng Juntong took a pill from the Eight Treasures Qiankun bag and fed it to Bai Yu.

Soon the footsteps of the old woman were heard outside the door again, and the door was pushed open, and the old woman walked into the room with two steaming buckets.

Meng Juntong and Ainis were a little surprised, the old woman's thin body was able to lift such two small half-person tall buckets, and this kind of strength was probably no worse than Ainis.
