Jiu Ge went up the stairs to the second floor, there were no candles on the second floor, Xiao Jin'er was carrying a lantern and came in the direction of Jiu Ge.

Lanterns illuminate the surroundings, and the rows are full of bookshelves. There are bamboo slips, silk books, and paper books on the shelves. Jiu Ge once again complained about the furnishings of this room:

"There are candles lit downstairs, and there are so many books upstairs, so you want to burn the house and light it directly. ”

"Sister, this. Xiao Jin'er took the note in her hand to Jiu Ge.

Jiu Ge took the note, spread it out and looked at it, it read: "Qingyang has changed, return quickly." ”

The text on the note is a small seal, since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the small seal has been slowly replaced by the official book, and now it is 160 AD, and the history before the first year of AD is consistent with the original. In this way, the era of Xiao Seal has passed, and the current prevalence is also Lishu, which makes Jiu Ge wonder.

"Qingyang has changed, return quickly. Where did you get this?"

"Over there, in the corner, on the dead bird. ”

"Dead birds, go and see. Xiao Jin'er picked up the lamp and walked with Jiu Ge to the place where she was before, squatting in front of the dead bird.

"Look at the extent of the decay, I've been dead for four or five days. Jiu Ge pinched the dead bird's paws with one hand and lifted it out of the small gap between the bookcase and the wall, pinching his nose with the other.

"There are no wounds. "The internal organs are rotten so badly that I am not a professional, and I can't see the cause of death.

"People don't usually read the news and put it back where it was, so there are two explanations: the bird came with the news and died here inexplicably, and no one found out, or the bird went out with the news. Jiu Ge was very satisfied with his analysis, Xiao Jin'er on the side thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"It's unlikely to go out with news, if the Wen family knows that there is a change, they will definitely take action. ”

"Yes, we walked all the way, the tea in the room over there was still warm, and the valuable things were there, not like we left in a hurry. ”

"But... Even so, the news doesn't seem to be of much use. ”

"Uh...... Truly. Jiu Ge sat directly on the ground, holding his forehead and making a sad face.

There are too many questions now, first the whereabouts of the Wen family, and then this inexplicable bird, which seems to have something to do with but is useless.

"Huh, what about the one that holds the note? There should be an iron pipe for the paper and something like that. ”

"Yes, I lost it when I walked over, I'm going to pick it up. When Xiao Jin'er heard this, she walked back and forth with a lamp.

The night was so quiet that there was not even a little wind, and the entire mansion seemed to be cut off by time and space, and Jiu Ge couldn't help but shudder.

"Sister. Xiao Jin'er handed the things in her hand to Jiu Ge and sat down next to her.

Jiu Ge took the thing and looked under the lamp, but it was just a pure iron pipe, and there was not even a pattern!

"Uh... White toss. Disappointed, Jiu Ge put the note back into the iron pipe and put it in his arms.

"I can't find anything, and there's no figure, go back to the inn, it's time to go to bed." "It's impossible not to be curious, but the scene in front of you is a dead end, there is no entry point, and there is no solution to the problem.

When Xiao Jin'er heard this, she nodded in agreement, and the two went downstairs, the candles in front of the spirit on the first floor had burned out, and the surroundings were dim, and there were lanterns in the nine singers left, illuminating the space between the two meters. The wind outside the door gradually rose, and the sound of banging on the doors and windows rang loudly.

"Sister, this rumor is wrong. Xiao Jin'er stopped and listened intently for a while.

"It's just windy. "It's winter, it's normal for a northwest wind to blow.

"No, Sister, you forgot that there was no wind and no sound just now, and besides, the wind was not in the right direction. ”

"Huh?"

"The wind is blowing from all sides to this building. Xiao Jin'er blew out the lamp in her hand, and it was dark all around, and her attention was all focused on her ears.

The formation of wind, generally the flow of air, from the area of high pressure to the area of low pressure, has a direction. But at this time, the wind direction outside the house is obviously squeezing towards this building from all directions, one building occupies too small an area, and the temperature here is not enough to make it a low pressure center, then, the wind coming from all directions is not naturally formed, and external forces.

"Go to the window. Jiu Ge carried Xiao Jin'er and instantly moved to the window when he came in, squatted down, and buttoned the window paper to look out.

The wind blew in from the paper hole and entered the nasal cavity, with an imperceptible spicy smell, Jiu Ge made a decision, blocking the wind out, leaving the hole to still see the outside.

This look scared Jiu Ge, Rao is the soul of her two lives, and she has never seen such a scene.

Under the faint light of the first quarter moon, the night can be seen clearly, and in the haze, a group of dark ghosts are quickly floating towards Jiu Ge, Jiu Ge's scalp is numb, only to see the ghost shadow getting closer and closer, and finally stopped in the three meters away, his head is tilted in the direction of Jiu Ge, as if he knows Jiu Ge's location.

Up close, these ghosts are transparent, no matter what the wind is talking about, passing through them like no one's land, existing but not existing. The leader of the ghost image was draped in a large black cloak and carried a string of lanterns, which glowed a faint blood-red light. The ghosts floating behind him, dressed in different costumes, although colorless, but they are not clothes that ordinary people can wear, and they are probably those who disappeared from the Wen family. After that, there were rows of ghosts in black cloaks, enclosing the entire building.

"Hundred Ghosts Night Walking", although there is no way to see each other's expressions clearly in the dark, but at this moment, Jiu Ge knows that Xiao Jin'er is in line with his own thoughts.

"There are thousands of ghosts at night, and ghosts are the first. "There is a brief description in the "Strange Record" of the mirage, and at that time it was just a pastime, and I never thought that I would encounter it here. "A hundred ghosts travel at night, a place for a hundred days, and a ghost every day. But the present situation, where all the people in the house disappear and appear in this form, is different from what the book says.

"Oh no, this building is going to collapse. Xiao Jin'er said loudly, completely ignoring the hundred ghosts outside the door, at this time, the wind in all directions was much stronger, squeezing all the force on this building, and the wooden structure of the building was already crumbling at the moment.

"Go to the roof. The two of them took a step of ten meters and quickly jumped to the top of the building.

After the roar, there was a waste under their feet, and Jiu Ge and Xiao Jin'er stood on top of a ruin, surrounded by the ghosts of Hesse.

The ghost still tilted his face towards the two of them, his eyes were hollow, his face was expressionless, and he didn't make any movements.

Jiu Ge's heart slowly relaxed from tension, and the tense nerves were prone to mistakes, and now he could only relax his mind and see the moves.

A moment later, the ghost who was floating in front of him with a lantern raised his right hand leisurely and pointed in the direction of the two, and in an instant, all the ghosts rushed towards the two.
