A light rain fell in the sky, soft as millet, and scattered on the old streets, splashing in circles and ripples. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xie Yixiang didn't hold an umbrella either, so she walked through the rain so unscrupulously. However, the two male catchers behind her were much more hypocritical than her, each holding up an oil umbrella and following Xie Yixiang quickly.

Because of yesterday's terrifying dream, Xie Yixiang finally found the first clue about the "Old Man Temple" after coming to this Red Dragon Town. Although everything was just a nightmare, and there was no evidence for what she saw and heard in the dream, she knew it in her heart: the so-called dream yesterday was clearly someone who was deliberately guiding her, and it was also an acquaintance of her own, the words and thoughts that she released from the prison back then.

As for why Yan Sidao also appeared in this Red Dragon Town, and why he had to pass on the clues of the "Old Man Temple" to himself, and how did he enter his dream and let himself see such a scene with his own eyes? Xie Yixiang couldn't understand or explain this for a while, but fortunately, she has always been a character who can afford to take it and let it go, and since she can't understand it thoroughly, she doesn't think much about it. Because for himself, the most important thing at the moment is to follow the clues of this "Lao Ye Temple", so as to find this mysterious force hidden on the shore of Poyang Lake, and recover the stolen military salaries for the imperial court.

So after waking up from the dream, Xie Yixiang woke up and immediately went straight to the yamen in this red dragon town to find help. You must know that these days, she has long been familiar with the town, and Wu Yurong, the mayor of Chilong Town, has long known Xie Yixiang's identity and origin, and when he saw her coming to the yamen to call people, he immediately asked Jin Liang, the head catcher in the town, to call two local catchers, and asked the two catchers to obey Xie Yixiang's orders.

Fortunately, these two catchers were both natives of Chilong Town, although they didn't know what Xie Yixiang's intentions were, but they also knew that this little girl had a great background, so they didn't dare to ask more at the moment. They listened to Xie Yixiang's general description of the appearance of the ancient mansion in the dream, and after a little thought, they really thought of a place, and immediately went with Xie Yixiang.

And the street that the three of them walked on at this moment, Xie Yixiang recognized it clearly, and it was clearly the same as the street she walked on in her dream yesterday. I only listened to the two catchers behind him, and the older old Ye chattered endlessly, and introduced to Xie Yixiang as he walked: "...... To say that our Red Dragon Town has a long history. The legend that has been circulating in the town for generations is also the battle between the red dragon and the evil dragon during the ancient flood period, although it cannot be true, but it can also be seen that this red dragon town was built very early, and even if there are not thousands of years of time, I am afraid that it has gone through thousands of years. ”

As he spoke, Lao Ye pointed to a small building on the side of the street and explained: "It's like this family, which has been passed down for dozens of generations, and in the hands of today's bald old Zhao, the entire building has been renovated I don't know how many times." Third Miss, please see, although the wall of this small building is the brickwork of the world, but looking at the foundation of the house in the corner of the wall, you can still see the method of boulder chiseling in the Qin and Han dynasties. ”

Xie Yixiang just nodded absentmindedly, and the pace under her feet immediately accelerated, but in a few moments, the three of them had already walked out of Chilong Town along the street under their feet, and came to the northern outskirts of the town. As they went, there were at first a few newly cultivated fields on both sides of the road, and some dead trees and weeds could be seen, but later the sides of the road had gradually turned into red rocks, and there was not a trace of grass and trees on them, and it became more and more desolate.

The mouth that caught the fast old leaf never stopped, and at this moment he said again: "...... At the end of this trail is the location of the 'Yao family' I mentioned earlier, which is an ancient house that has been abandoned for a long time, and no one has ever lived in it. I don't know when the house was abandoned, but it has been deserted for as long as I can remember, and I don't know how many years it has been......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth, and continued: "...... In fact, it's funny, people in our town call that house 'Yao's family', and I don't know if it's because the owner of that ancient house is surnamed Yao. You must know that the ancient mansion of the Yao family has been abandoned for hundreds of years, and if you want to find out the roots, I am afraid that no one in the entire Chilong Town can say clearly. Therefore, Miss Fang Caisan asked me about such a deserted mansion, and I immediately thought of this Yao family's ancient mansion outside Chilong Town. ”

When Lao Chen, another fellow catcher, heard this, he couldn't help but speak: "But isn't it, when I heard the description of the third lady, my first reaction was also the ancient house of the Yao family." Speaking of the same as Lao Ye, in my impression, the ancient mansion of the Yao family has been abandoned from beginning to end. When I was a child, I heard the old people in the town talk about it, saying that there were some evil sects in the ancient house, and told us not to go to play. Later, when I was seven or eight years old, I also made a bet with Lao Zhu and Lao Li that whoever lost would go to sleep in the Yao family's ancient mansion, and then I lost with Lao Li, so I went to sleep in the attic of the house, but woke up the next day, but nothing strange happened. However, when the adults in the family found out about this, several of us were beaten up for it, and we were warned that we would never go there again in the future......"

When Lao Chen said this, he couldn't help but be silent for a moment, as if he was reminded of his childhood memories. After a while, he continued: "When we grew up, we also asked the old people in the family to know what dangerous things were hidden in the abandoned Yao family's ancient house. Who knows that the old people also don't know a little about it, and only say that they don't know when the saying circulated in the town, saying that there are unclean things in the abandoned ancient house of the Yao family, so that everyone can go less, so as not to get into unnecessary trouble. It is not known when and by whom this statement came out. "Anyway, Lao Ye next to him listened to Lao Chen talk about the troubled things when he was a child, and suddenly came to his senses, even if he said a word to Lao Chen, he talked about the past troubled things of everyone in the town.

Xie Yixiang was silent, just walked along the path, about a meal, but saw that the red mountain walls on both sides gradually became steeper, extending forward from the left and right directions, and finally connected into a whole mountain peak not far ahead, and its momentum was towering into the clouds. And beneath that peak, the trail at your feet came to an end.

It turned out that the path was going as if it were walking in a valley, and beyond that it was the end of the valley. Xie Yixiang knew that the surrounding red mountain peak was the Huolong Mountain Range, which was located north of Chilong Town and east of Poyang Lake. Legend has it that the waters where shipwrecks often occur in Poyang Lake start from the lake near Huolong Mountain and extend to the lake along the coast of Chilong Town.

And right now, at the end of the valley of this Fire Dragon Mountain, that is, at the end of the trail, an abandoned ancient mansion appeared in front of the three of them. I saw that the ancient house covers an area of about a dozen acres horizontally and vertically, and the walls on all sides are so broken that the biggest gap can almost be crossed by people directly; in the middle of the wall are two false wooden doors, which are not locked, and they are also so rotten that they do not look like they; and then look at the courtyard of the ancient house behind the wall, there is clearly a two-storey attic standing in the middle. All the furnishings are exactly the same as the scene Xie Yixiang saw in her dream.

It turned out that the ancient mansion he went to in his dream yesterday really existed in the world, and it was right in front of his eyes at the moment. Xie Yixiang couldn't help frowning, and Lao Ye and Lao Chen behind him also stopped at the same time, and said in unison: "This is the Yao family's ancient mansion." ”

Xie Yixiang took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, and then nodded and said, "Yes, the ancient mansion I am looking for is indeed here." After saying this, she seemed to have some lingering palpitations in her heart, and immediately with a slight force of her right hand, she pulled out the mess around her waist from the scabbard.

Seeing a slight crimson halo on the chaotic knife body, it was naturally colored, and Xie Yixiang was slightly relieved.
