Chapter Seventy-Three: The Dark House
Bai Heng broke the spell illusion with the qin, and a winding road appeared in front of them, although it didn't seem easy to walk, but it was better than no way to walk.
Bai Mu looked at the twisting road in front of him and said, "Why does this road feel so strange?"
Mo Yunfan looked calm, as if no matter what was in front of him, he was already fearless.
In the past few days, fortunately, Bai Heng has helped him suppress the evil energy every day, so that Mo Yunfan will not lose control again, but Mo Yunfan can also feel that the evil knife is slowly controlling him, and he wants to take it back before he is completely controlled by the evil knife.
After walking the twisting and turning road, what appeared in front of them was a bamboo forest, but these bamboos were not emerald green like normal bamboos, but the dark green color, which looked quite strange.
Walking through the bamboo forest, it is a small courtyard, and this courtyard is even more strange than the bamboo forest, whether it is the wall, the roof, or the gate, it is all dark.
The surrounding plants are dark green like the bamboo forest, and even the wildflowers on the roadside.
Bai Mu swallowed his saliva and moved closer to Mo Yunfan and them.
"Senior Brother Yunfan, it's too strange here, isn't it?"
Bai Heng suddenly dragged them behind the big tree on the side.
"Silence, someone is coming out. ”
The black gate was opened, and three men came out of it, all with solemn faces, and walked straight through the bamboo forest.
Bai Heng asked Mo Yunfan out loud, "Evil knife, is it in here?"
"Well, I'm sure we're going to have to find a way to sneak in there. ”
Bai Mu hurriedly stopped Mo Yunfan, "The main gate is not good, it will definitely be discovered, let's go around the back and take a look." ”
They walked around to the back of the courtyard and saw a small door ajar.
After waiting for a long time, no one came in or out.
The three of them quietly approached, pushed open the door, and behind the door was a half-man-tall vicious dog, which barked wildly when he saw them.
"Leave!" Bai Heng shouted, turned around and pulled Bai Mu and Mo Yunfan to run.
Halfway through the run, black mist began to rise on Mo Yunfan's body, and the three of them hurriedly hid behind a boulder next to them.
The sound of footsteps approached them from far and near, and seeing that the black mist on Mo Yunfan's body was about to be uncontrollable, Bai Heng stretched out his hand and put it on Mo Yunfan's body to inhale all the black mist into his body.
"Bai Heng, are you crazy!" Mo Yunfan wanted to stop Bai Heng, but Bai Heng stopped him with his backhand.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Bai Mu put his hand on the Moon Palace Sword on his waist, looking at Bai Heng and Mo Yunfan worriedly.
Just when they felt that the footsteps were about to reach the boulder where they were hiding, there was a sudden "boom" sound
I heard someone shouting: "Something happened, go back quickly!"
After those people left completely, Bai Heng hurriedly played the piano to help himself and Mo Yunfan clear the evil qi.
The loud bang saved them, but Bai Mu could hear it clearly, and the loud noise was accompanied by an inexplicable wail.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the black fog around Bai Heng and Mo Yunfan had been cleared.
Mo Yunfan dragged Bai Heng over, "Did you just want to die, how could you transfer that kind of thing to yourself!"
Bai Heng pulled Mo Yunfan's hand away and asked rhetorically, "What about that, let them find us?"
Bai Mu patted his forehead and stepped forward and said, "Can you two not quarrel at this time?"
Mo Yunfan leaned on the boulder, "Wait until it's dark, we don't know how many people are inside, after dark, let's go and see the situation inside." ”
Bai Heng was silent, turned around and sat down with his back to Mo Yunfan.
Bai Mu looked at this and that speechlessly, he really didn't understand, what did these people think, and touched his small vault again, the messenger in it had almost been used, and only the last two were left, hesitating whether to continue to transmit the message.
After thinking about it for a long time, Bai Mu decided to try again one last time, but he still had to carry Mo Yunfan and Bai Heng on his back.
"That, Senior Brother Yunfan, I'll go to the forest over there. ”
"What are you going to do there?"
"Isn't there a dog in there? It's hard to deal with people, but dogs are easy to deal with, so I'll look for it, find something to eat for it, and maybe I'll be obedient." ”
After Bai Mu finished speaking, he didn't wait for Mo Yunfan and Bai Heng's opinions, got up and ran into the woods next to him.
This time, Bai Mu threw out all the remaining two messengers, and clasped his hands together, "Please, you must receive it!"
Then there were a few bows to the heavens, and when they got up and were about to go back, a group of people in the distance walked towards this side.
Bai Mu hurriedly hid behind a tree.
When those people approached, Bai Mu saw clearly that the people who were leading were the three men who came out of the black house before, and they were followed by a large group of people, men and women, old and young.
The group of people had wooden expressions, their eyes were blank, but the steps under their feet were unexpectedly the same, which foot should be taken, they all took the same foot at the same time, and if you looked closely, their necks were held by a very thin thread.
"What are they doing with so many people?" Bai Mu suddenly thought of a terrible guess, "Should I take these sacrificial swords again!"
Bai Mu observed for a while, and quietly followed behind, until the three men brought the group of men, women, and children into the house, and then returned to the boulder where they were hiding.
Seeing Bai Mu coming back empty-handed, Mo Yunfan asked, "What's the matter?"
Bai Mu squatted down and said with a serious face: "I saw that the three men who came out of the house just now arrested a group of people and entered the house!"
"A group of people?" Bai Heng wondered, "How many people are in a group?"
Bai Mu recalled for a moment and said, "There are about fifty or sixty people, men, women, and children!"
"What are they arresting so many people for?" Mo Yunfan finished asking, and then answered himself, "Sacrificial knife?"
Bai Heng nodded and said: "Very likely, I remember that Lu Qianming said at the beginning that the evil knife has not really been completed, since the evil knife has been taken back, what they have to do is definitely to continue to practice the evil knife." ”
"Lose your conscience!" Mo Yunfan was furious: "No matter what, we must rescue those innocent people this time!"
Bai Mu had seen the appearance of those people, and whether he could save those people or not was probably not up to them, but Bai Mu still decided not to tell Mo Yunfan about the situation of those people for the time being, so as not to irritate them even more.
It was hard to survive until the evening.
The front door could not enter, and there were vicious dogs watching at the back door, and Bai Mu and they could only enter through the wall from the side.
After discussion, Bai Mu and the others decided to choose the highest wall.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the courtyard, only three patrols, and Bai Mu and them were one by one, no more, no less.
After solving the patrol people, the three of them changed into other people's clothes and wandered around the house generously, looking for a place where the evil knife might be placed.
"You three!"
A woman's voice suddenly stopped Bai Mu.
The woman walked from behind them to the front, looked them up and down with a scrutinizing face, and asked reproachfully, "Why did you come here?
Bai Mu and the three of them were instantly stunned when they saw the woman's clothes, although the sky was dark, they could still see that this woman was wearing a golden gown, the gown was printed with sun flowers, and there were three fires on her forehead, this woman was a person from Daji Heavenly Pavilion, and she was also an inner disciple!
Mo Yunfan, who was the first to come back to his senses, bent down again and again to apologize, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we accidentally made a mistake, so let's leave." ”
"Wait!"
The woman stretched out her hand to block their way, and her eyes fell on Bai Mu's body, her eyes full of suspicion.
Just as the woman was about to speak, a man ran in and shouted, "Miss, the master is invited." ”
"Got it. Then he looked at Bai Mu and the three of them, and warned: "If you dare to walk around, you will exchange your lives!"
All three bowed their heads at the same time.
"Yes, be careful!"
After the woman left, Bai Mu and the others hurriedly found a hidden place to catch their breath and sort out their mood at the same time.
"Senior Brother Yun Fan?" Bai Mu cautiously asked, "That woman, do you know her, she is wearing the clothes of the Great Ji Heavenly Pavilion, right? Could it be someone from the Great Ji Heavenly Pavilion?"
Mo Yunfan shook his head, "Although I haven't been to Daji Heavenly Pavilion many times, I still have some knowledge of Pavilion Master Li, although others are a little colder, but they are decent, they shouldn't have anything to do with this matter." ”
"That'...... The woman...... Am I mistaken?"
"Maybe it's also a frame-up. Bai Heng explained aloud: "What happened to the Dusk Snow Pavilion at the beginning, those people who took the Twilight Snow Pavilion Egret Water Pattern Piano to do evil......"
Halfway through Bai Heng's words, he couldn't continue.
Even if he didn't finish speaking, Bai Mu and Mo Yunfan understood what he meant.
Mo Yunfan concluded: "According to this, the Great Ji Heavenly Pavilion is also out of ...... Traitor, or rather, being used by Nan Tiance?"
"Otherwise, let's go and take a look, she should go to see Nan Tiance. Bai Mu said: "Let's follow, maybe we can find the place where they hide the evil knife." ”
As soon as Bai Mu's suggestion came out, the other two people agreed with actions.
When Bai Mu reacted, the two people had already walked away, and Bai Mu hurriedly followed.
All the way to the backyard, they didn't see the figure of the woman and Nan Tiance, but it was a strange wooden house, which attracted Bai Mu's attention.
The hut was surrounded by strange plants, and liquid was dripping from the plants to the ground, but there was no trace of it on the ground, and it seemed that all the dripping liquid had been absorbed by the ground.
At the same time as seeing those plants, Mo Yunfan suddenly fell to his knees with a painful face, covering his chest with his hands, his eyes were bleeding, and black mist burst out of his body one after another.
"Senior Brother Yun Fan!"
"Mo Yunfan!"
Hearing the sound of someone approaching, Bai Mu and Bai Heng hurriedly helped Mo Yunfan to hide in the dark.
Nan Tiance walked to the door of the wooden house, looked around, raised his hand and slapped the door of the wooden house.
