Chapter 21: The Murderous House

As the capital of the world, Luojing Mansion controls all the security in the east of Qianyi, south of Tongchuan, and west of Weinan.

Since the beginning of the first year of Taihao, the Son of Heaven took the benefit of Taigong to change the law and formulated the county as the basic administrative unit, and the Luojing Mansion was 362,921 households, 1,960,188 mouths, and 23 towns such as Wannian.

Fengxiang County, west of Qianyi and north of Qinling. In the second year of Tahoe, the overall regional planning was changed to Fengxiang County, which was called the western barrier of Beijing, and in the second year of Taihao, it was once renamed Wangwei County.

Fengxiang County has jurisdiction over Tianxing, Fufeng, Lingzhi, Shangyang, Qishan, Mei, Linyou, Pu, Guo and other towns.

The territory is about the east of Lingzhi, the west of Linyou and Yixian, the north of Baishan, and the south of Xiaochuan.

Among them, Fufeng is the most important traffic artery between Fengxiang County and Luoyi... Because of trade, the originally barren Fufeng became the first city of Fengxiang.

This is where Xie Yu is at the moment.

......

It's been three days since he left Qingtian's 'lair', and at first it was actually very troublesome, not knowing where he was, not knowing where he was, not knowing what the direction was, and guarding against the pursuit of the other party, but fortunately, he quickly found an official road, although he didn't know where the road ahead, it was always right to go.

Fortunately, not long after walking, a caravan walked through the road.

Xie Yu stopped to ask for directions, and learned that this was the main official road from Luoyi to Fengxiang.

The owner of the caravan saw that Xie Yu was dressed in gorgeous brocade, spoke elegantly, had dignified etiquette, and was well-read, and knew that the other party must be a nobleman in the city.

And when he saw that Xie Yu was lost in the wilderness, he didn't ask in detail about the hidden situation, and happily invited Xie Yu to go with him.

Xie Yu originally wanted to go back to Luoyi to rescue the soldiers, but after thinking about it, with Qingtian's energy, it would definitely be impossible for him to return to Luoyi as he wished, so it was better to simply do the opposite.

After all, according to Xie Yu's speculation, Qingtian has been planning carefully for a long time, and a small kidnapping can only be the preface to the other party's larger conspiracy.

This is an organization that can make that teacher so attentive... So it is more necessary to be cautious.

Xie Yu is not a conspiracy theorist, but he still understands the truth of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

Xie Yu planned to help the wind in order to draw the clues of the blue sky... After all, this is Fengxiang County and Luoyi, and it has an absolute relationship with the safety of Luoyi.

The owner of the caravan claimed to be a well-known merchant in Fengxiang, nicknamed 'Golden Toad', and that he was transporting goods for a powerful man in the court.

Xie Yu was not interested in this, after all, the affairs of powerful businessmen were not worth his trouble.

Seeing this, the golden toad also knew how to shut up.

It's finally quiet... This is Xie Yu's idea.

......

It was getting late, and the caravan made its way to a small village, but unfortunately the inn was full.

But after all, the golden toad claims to be a famous businessman, and his methods are somewhat reasonable.

Eventually, Golden Toad negotiated with the village chief, and the village arranged for everyone to live in a long-abandoned house.

This is a famous murderous mansion in a small village, which has been abandoned for a long time. Legend has it in the village that the owner of the house has a lot of land.

Although he is a landlord, he treats people kindly, and he does not put on a show at all for the tenants in the family, which family is sick and does not have a copper child to see a doctor, which family has no copper child to raise a baby, or which young man has to give a matchmaker if he is a single, as long as he carries a basket of special products to the door, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

The golden toad refused verbally at first, but after disappearing for a while, he agreed when he returned.

Xie Yu doesn't care whether he is a murderous house or not, after all, he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and heavenly ghosts do not punish righteous people.

......

As soon as I stepped on the threshold, I was hit by a smell of dust mixed with mold, the pillars of the courtyard were lined with dense moss, the plaques drooped, swaying with the wind, the dense cobwebs looked a little terrible, and the thick walls of the bricks seemed to cut off people from the outside world.

"Let's go, it's cold here. The golden toad tugged at Xie Yu's sleeve.

"Zi is silent, strange and confused. Xie Yu saw his fear: "Have you ever committed a crime?"

"No... Don't talk nonsense. The golden toad was actually a little anxious, and his steps moved back a little. "It's not fate. ”

"Huge caravan, you're still afraid. Xie Yu was a little speechless.

The golden toad was speechless, and after thinking about it, it was right, even if it was a ghostly spirit, dozens of merchants plus more than a dozen martial arts masters, were you afraid that it would not succeed?

Xie Yu turned his head after speaking, he never liked to deal with the lower nine streams, especially such a philistine, and today's peers are really forced to do so.

Seeing that Xie Yu took a step ahead, the golden toad gritted his teeth, looked up at the plaque again, and beckoned people to follow him inside.

Legend in the village that there is an idol in the owner's house, which has a strange appearance and is terrifying, and is worshiped by the landlord and stands in the ancestral hall of the family.

According to the villagers, the tragedy of that year was inseparable from this idol.

Xie Yu walked all the way to the middle courtyard, and what he saw when he passed by, the ruins and broken walls were gloomy and treacherous.

He stopped in front of a huge plane tree.

This sycamore is probably the most special existence in this house, the trunk is thick and tall, the leaves are dense and luxuriant, almost blocking the sun, and the juice inside the green is almost oozing out. With such a strong vitality against the lifeless aura of this house, the golden toad found a place to stay, and leaned on it to beckon people to set up tents on the spot.

It seems that the people still dare not live in the house.

"Is it so scary?" Xie Yu walked behind the golden toad and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Don't!" the golden toad sensed someone behind him. "Don't kill me!"

"What are you afraid of. Xie Yu found it interesting.

"It scared the hell out of me. The golden toad patted his chest. "Please don't tease me, I'm cowardly. ”

"Aren't you a famous businessman?" Xie Yu raised his eyebrows and sneered: "After traveling thousands of miles, are you still afraid of evil spirits?"

"You don't understand. The golden toad sighed, but said nothing.

"Look behind you. Xie Yu patted the golden toad and pointed behind me.

The golden toad turned back defenselessly... But nothing.

The golden toad was puzzled, but when he turned back to face Xie Yu again, he found that he was gone, and the golden toad began to panic.

A hand slapped on the golden toad's shoulder again, and time seemed to freeze.

"Just scare you. Hearing that it was Xie Yu's voice, the golden toad's true soul was almost lost.

"What are you doing!" he yelled, almost at the top of his voice. "If so... I... The contemptible people are going to ask Xie Shizi back. ”

"Look at you cowardly, you see, that's the ancestral hall. The golden toad followed the direction pointed by Xie Yu, that is, behind him, where the view had just been blocked by the tree trunk.

Xie Yu's expression also became serious.

"There's someone inside," Xie Yu said.

"Xie Shizi... You!" The golden toad didn't want to believe Xie Yu anymore, but he was afraid that it was true, so he hesitated for a moment. "Is that true?"

"When. Xie Yu didn't look at him, but stared at the house. "I'll go and see, and you have someone to keep watch at the door, and if it's not right, you'll hear my signal to come in. ”

Seeing that Xie Yu seemed to be telling the truth, the golden toad nodded solemnly.

"It's finally here, take some pictures and go, I don't want to stay longer. "I suppressed my anger and moved. But his hand on my shoulder did not move. I looked at him in confusion. He stared at me so hard that he couldn't say anything, and I shuddered at the sight.

Xie Yu also turned away.

The golden toad looked at his back, slightly stunned.

Xie Yu merged with the shadow of the ancestral hall, like a monster's big mouth, devouring him.

The golden toad's legs were a little trembling, and he didn't care about Xie Yu, so he turned around and beckoned the dart masters to work.

...

Xie Yu pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and kicked up a large amount of smoke and dust.

A mixture of mold and bloody breath came out, and Xie Yu frowned.

As soon as he stepped in, the door suddenly closed, and without waiting for Xie Yu to react, a hand was on his neck at some point, and three sharp hard objects were against his major artery, Xie Yu guessed that it should be a needle.

So fast!

"Don't move!" a weak breath came from Xie Yu's ears. "I'll kill you at every turn. ”
