Two hours ago, the Great Xia Yizhou Liantang Inn.

Unlike the previous post house where most of the horsemen who passed on information, today there are more than 100 elite white-robed soldiers of the King of Shu dressed in white robes and gray armor in the post house, and in addition to more than a dozen "embroidered clothes" mixed in.

How could the Yicheng of the Liantang Post House think that these two great gods would come to him at the same time, a place that usually only those horsemen who pass information across states, or those poor scholars. Suddenly a little panicked, and kept smiling and accompanying the commander of the "embroidered clothes", for fear that his head would move if he was not well entertained.

These more than 100 white-robed soldiers were well-trained, and after arriving at the Liantang Post House, they automatically repaired, patrolled, and guarded according to the three-person system without the orders of the officials, and quickly took over the entire post house.

A gray-armored young man in a white robe led a horse and quickly followed the middle-aged white-robed man in front of him, hunched over in his ear and said in a low voice: "Fifth brother, where is the place where we were ordered to go this time? ”

The middle-aged white-robed man glared at the white-robed young man beside him, trying to make himself more serious, but his voice was a little soft: "Don't ask if you shouldn't know, this Lord Wu is not a good stubble, be careful of military law, and your seventh brother and I won't be able to protect you when the time comes." ”

Another middle-aged white-robed soldier who was walking with the two laughed and said: "Xiao Jiu, don't listen to your fifth brother scare you, if anyone dares to use military law against you, Lao Tzu will cut him, regardless of whether he is Lord Wu or Lord Dog." ”

"Old Seven, be quiet, your mouth, sooner or later you will kill yourself, don't bother me and Xiao Jiu then. Seeing a Sima coming, the white-robed man known as the fifth brother hurriedly remedied and interrupted Lao Qi's words, and greeted the white-robed Sima in front of him with a smile on his face. "Lao Wang, what do you command?"

"Ruan Lao Wu, there are not so many of our brothers living in the post house building, I look at a tower over there, I don't know if there can be people living inside, you three brothers will go to see it later, if you can live inside, it is better than the brothers on duty sleeping outside. The white-robed Sima and the white-robed soldier known as Ruan Lao Wu spoke politely, and after explaining his intentions, he did not forget to kick the white-robed soldier known as Lao Qi, "You stinky mouth take care of yourself." If I don't beat you for a day, are you itchy skin?"

The latter took advantage of the situation and fell to the ground on his stomach, and replied with a smile: "Order!"

The white-robed Sima seemed to have long been accustomed to this Ruan Qi's playful appearance, and he didn't pay attention to it, and said to the white-robed young man: "Ruan Xiaojiu, your evaluation is currently excellent, and I will recommend you to be promoted to the rank of captain after coming back this time, but don't learn badly from your two brothers and ruin your future." ”

Ruan Xiaojiu listened to the promise of the white-robed Sima, his waist suddenly straightened, and he replied with a smile: "The little one only obeys the order of the king Sima!"

"Eh, it's good that the kid was spoiled by your two brothers. That Wang Sima glanced at Ruan Xiaoqi, didn't say anything and turned to leave.

Almost all of these five-storied pagodas are made of wood, and the eaves are so large that it looks like the overlapping eaves of several floors, getting smaller and smaller the higher you go, giving you a sense of fluttering and flying. Like a roc bird falling from the sky, its wings have not yet had time to be retracted. The phase wheel at the top of the tower is extremely high, and when viewed from below, it is as tall as a two-story tower. Unlike other tower-top phase wheels, where there are mostly orbs on top of the dragon chariot, this five-storied tower is a sharp knife on the top of the dragon chariot and soars straight into the sky.

"Fifth brother, how can this post house have such a tall tower? This five-story building must be as tall as ten in other places, right?" Ruan Xiaojiu looked up at the five-story tower in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

"I've never seen a tower so tall, but it is said that in the old days people who read books liked to come here to chant poetry. Ruan Wu had already led the two of them towards the tower as he spoke.

Just as the three of them were about to enter the tower, a middle-aged servant suddenly ran out, stopped in front of the three of them, and said in a trembling voice: "A few military masters, can you enter here?"

The three of them stopped, looking at the middle-aged servant in front of them, they were all a little strange, how dare a servant dare to risk death to block the way of the three of them.

Ruan Qi didn't like it in his heart, but he also came to tease the interest of this servant, a single knife came out of the sheath in his waist, and in a flash of cold light, the knife was put on the neck of the middle-aged servant, and asked: "Why can't you enter here? Could it be that there is something hidden in it?"

The middle-aged servant saw that the other party put the knife on his neck, and he was not afraid to retaliate and said: "You person, I have good intentions to save your life, why don't you know what to do?"

Ruan Wu was curious about what the husband said, and stepped forward to stop Ruan Qi, and at the same time was afraid that this old man would be provoked by the other party, and really wiped the neck of the husband with a knife.

"Dude, we're just doing a routine tour of the tower. Why does my brother say that?"

The middle-aged servant saw that Ruan Wu removed the knife around his neck, spoke politely, and his anger was a little lower, so he explained: "This building is haunted, everyone in the post house knows it, and since the many scholars were killed in this building twenty years ago, no one has entered this building for twenty years. ”

"This old man, it turns out that what you are worried about is that it is a haunting? Don't you be afraid that our brother has a knife in his hand, even a ghost will be afraid of our brother. Ruan Xiaojiu, who had been listening to the side, took out the sheath with a single knife, pulled a knife flower in the air, and said to the middle-aged servant with a smile.

Ruan Wu also shook his head helplessly, he would say something different when he was still a servant, but he didn't expect it to be an old-fashioned haunted ghost to coax himself and others.

Ruan Qi impatiently pushed the middle-aged servant away, walked straight to the door, pushed it twice, and then turned back angrily: "Old guy, where is the key to this gate?"

The middle-aged servant saw that a few people did not listen to the dissuasion, but sighed, took a bunch of keys casually, and came to the door of the building, "Have you thought about it?"

Ruan Xiaojiu was a little helpless, but he knew that this servant had good intentions, so he stepped forward before Ruan Qi and said, "Brother, don't worry." If you're worried about the haunting, we'll just go in and check it out ourselves. ”

The middle-aged servant said, "Even if you hold me with a knife, I won't go in with you." Don't listen to anyone's advice, ask for more blessings. ”

As the middle-aged servant's voice landed, the door was also opened, and a burst of damp mildew came to his face, and the choked Ruan Xiaojiu and the three of them sneezed a few times.

When the three of them turned around and were about to talk to the middle-aged servant, the man still didn't know where to go, and the three of them only thought that the servant was cowardly, so they ran away without saying hello, and they didn't take it seriously, and walked straight to the tower.

By the moonlight, the three of them lit the torches in the tower, only to find that the inside of the tower looks much bigger than you look outside, more than 100 feet long and wide, and the staircase leads to the second floor, and there are four fierce and vicious angry King Kong statues standing at the entrance, two on the left and right, and the hand-held magic weapon looks down on the door, so that the people who enter the door only feel inexplicably panicked. Other than that, there is nothing else on the ground floor, and it looks very empty.

"Fifth brother, don't you say it's strange, how could this post house build such a tower, these statues of King Kong look too mad. As soon as Ruan Qi entered the door, he was jumped, and the knife was pulled out, only to find that the two sides were just statues.

"Brother Seven, you are so timid. Ruan Xiaojiu was taken aback by Ruan Qi just now, and when he saw Brother Qi draw his knife, he also pulled out the knife and unsheathed it together, only to find that it was just a false alarm. Only then did I have the mood to ridicule this Ruan Qi.

"Xiao Jiu, didn't you just pull out the knife in fright, and you are embarrassed to say that you are the seventh brother and me. Ruan Qi did not show weakness when he arrived, and took the lead in striding towards the stairs with a knife, "Let's go, I'll go upstairs with your seventh brother and take a look." ”

Although Ruan Wu was speechless, his years of experience in fighting in battle formations did make him feel that there was something wrong here, just now Lao Qi and Xiao Jiu were not just talking about flowers, but they really felt the danger before they pulled out their swords.

The three of them walked up the stairs to the upper floor, the second floor was also empty, different from the first floor, the inner wall of the two-story tower was covered with murals, Ruan Wu and the others were not interested in the murals, and after lighting the torches on the second floor, they were ready to go up to the third floor to check.

"Ahh

Ruan Wu had also just noticed that the temperature had dropped drastically, and since he climbed to the second floor, it had begun to get colder and colder. I thought it was my own problem, but I didn't expect Ruan Qi to be the same, the freshman was alert, and said: "This tower is really weird, let's withdraw first." ”

Just as the three of them were about to go downstairs, a black shadow flashed quickly in front of the three of them, disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant, and went up to the third floor.
