Chapter 173: Dark Shadow

Although everyone covered it up seamlessly, and there were no flaws, Mu Tianyi vaguely felt that these women, including the eldest lady, were very suspicious.

The strangest thing is that although these women are not considered to be advanced in cultivation, they are not mortal bodies, how can someone in the family go missing, but they are not aware of it?

"Often, take a few guests to the guest room to rest, be sure to be hospitable, don't neglect the guests. The third lady Wan'er commanded the white-bearded old man.

The white-bearded old man, named Chang Chong, is the housekeeper of the Tao family.

Chang Chong responded, and took Mu Tianyi and the others to the back garden.

All the way is full of flowers, fragrant grass, high and low courtyards, built near the water, rockery and clear spring reflect the reflection of water waves, exquisite and gorgeous.

"Your garden is really well built, with mountains and mountains, and good scenery everywhere, which is really ingenious. Mu Tianyi looked at the beautiful scenery around him and praised.

"Hehehe, this is all from the hands of the eldest lady, the eldest lady has the skillful hand of cutting the clouds with a double moon, but unfortunately she has never been seen out of the courtyard in the past two years. ”

Chang Chong looked at the north side of the garden and said helplessly.

In the northernmost part of the garden, there is a small grove with bamboo, peach trees, and some unknown trees.

"Then deep in the grove to the north is the courtyard of your eldest lady?"

Those trees were scattered, and they seemed to be some kind of strange formation, which made Mu Tianyi feel like he had seen a thousand bamboo forests for the first time.

"Yes, but don't disturb the eldest lady. Chang Chong's face was nervous, and even his gray beard seemed to tremble a little.

"Your eldest lady, could it be a desolate beast?" the Void God pursed his lips, his long ears pricked up, as if listening to something.

"Not really, but you're afraid you've also discovered that the woods are not simple woods. ”

Chang Chong suddenly lowered his voice and said to Mu Tianyi and the others, "I'm afraid that if you go in, you won't be able to get out." ”

"Drink, when I'm scared, can't I?" the Void God was slightly displeased, "Don't talk about the small Tao Family Manor, even if it is the Imperial Palace of the Eternal Continent, I can come and go freely." ”

"Hehe, that's all for the little words, if you insist on going...... That's your business!"

Chang Chong shook his head and smiled, unable to tell whether he was really good for them or pretty.

Along the way, the courtyard was very clean. But it was deserted, and it was rare to meet one or two domestic servants.

After a while, I saw a delicate and elegant two-story building, and there was a small garden on the side of the building.

There are several slave rooms in the garden, although they are simple, but they are not simple, which shows that this potter treats his subordinates well.

The small building is not connected to other buildings, but the roads are well connected.

It is quiet and convenient for Mu Tianyi and others to move in the garden.

"This is your room, if you need anything, you can tell your subordinates to do it, or ask them to come to me. Just ......"

"Just what?" asked Mu Tianyi.

Chang Chong twisted his white beard, hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's just that after the time, you must not leave the guest house, otherwise I will not be able to come in time if something strange happens." ”

Mu Tian smiled and said: "Everyone is a mystery, what are you afraid of? What's more, if we can't cope with it, even if we call someone, it's useless to be afraid." ”

Chang Chong smiled and said again: "This small building was originally called 'Lilac Pavilion'. However, it was uninhabited for a long time and was converted into a guest house. As he spoke, he took out a key from his bosom

Door locks.

Push open the carved door of the small building and introduce Mu Tianyi and others into the building.

"Why lock it if it's uninhabited?" said Mu Tianyi, surprised.

Chang Chong whispered mysteriously: "I said, I'm afraid that you will be scared, there have been deaths here." ”

"Hehe, are you all ordinary people?"

Mu Tianyi shook his head, this Tao family is too much of a fuss, in this world of the jungle, when will there be no one dead?

"Well, I know you don't do the same thing. Chang Chong whispered again: "All the people who lived in this small building are dead, these people are all mysteries, and there is no ordinary person." ”

Then he shook his head and sighed, "I really don't understand, why the master arranged for you to live here!"

Mu Tianyi frowned, and said secretly, is this master talking about Tao Hao, or the third lady, or is it another lady?

The doors, windows, tables and chairs in the small building, and the desks and screens are all carved from the best Huanghuali carvings.

In the middle of the entrance hall hangs a beautiful picture of a lady, the picture is a scene of several beautiful women playing in the garden, and there is a small pavilion outside the west door.

The pavilion is covered with green on three sides, with wisteria entwined. Fragrant lilac trees are planted next to it.

The trees are covered with small purple flowers, like starlight, and you can hear the sound of gurgling water as the spring flows.

However, when the Void God heard the sound of the spring water, his whole body trembled faintly, and he hugged Bai Yifeng's neck, fortunately, he was now as small as a rabbit, and it would not attract too much attention.

The bedroom door opened, and the room was also full of yellow pear carvings, and purple tapestries were also covered. The scenery outside the window is a bit dreamlike.

Mu Tianyi smiled faintly, "This Tao Hao is a person who knows how to enjoy." ”

"Mu Gongzi, please take care of yourself, I will go and instruct the kitchen to prepare some dinner in a while, and let someone bring it" Chang Chong saw that Mu Tianyi and the others didn't mind this murderous house, but he was also a lot more relieved.

"There's Lao Changbo!"

Chang Chong smiled: "Hehe, what's the matter, the shepherd is too polite." He bowed and took his leave.

"This Chang Chong is interesting, desperately saying bad things about this small building, what do you want?" The Void God looked at Chang Chong's departing back and said coldly.

Mu Tian smiled and said, "It seems that some people don't want us to rest peacefully." ”

"Hmph, who dares to come and find trouble? I'll shoot him to death. The Void God snorted coldly, but when he listened carefully, there was a tremor in it.

"Hehe, you better take care of yourself first, don't bother and haven't found it yet, you'll faint first. Mu Tianyi saw that the Void God was obviously frightened by the sound of spring water not far from the building.

As dusk approached, two plain-clothed maids carried wooden plates and brought a sumptuous dinner.

The night breeze is like silk, the thin clouds cover the moon, Mu Tianyi and the others washed up, began to enjoy the carefully prepared dinner, looking at the moonlight outside the window, it is also very comfortable.

Suddenly, I felt a wave of spiritual power gradually approaching.

"Who?"

Mu Tian's figure flashed, jumped up suddenly, hid sideways by the window, and looked out of the window.

I saw a black shadow, which disappeared the moment it disappeared the moment it entered the pavilion.

At this moment, the Void God had already swept out of the door, but when he looked around, there was nothing abnormal, and there was no one in the door and the outer hall.

Bai Yifeng hid behind Mu Tianyi, and also quietly probed out, his little nose kept sniffing.

"Could it be an illusion?" Mu Tianyi frowned.

There was silence outside the window at the moment, and there was not even a hint of wind.

"Hehe, that's definitely not an illusion, it's just that spiritual power

The fluctuations disappear too quickly to be captured. ”

Although the Void God was extremely fast, he was unable to capture the strange trace of spiritual power.

"Knock Knock"

There was a soft knock on the door, and then the door creaked open, and the footsteps of the person who came were very light, as if they were tiptoeing over, for fear of being discovered.

"Why is she?" Mu Tianyi wondered.

Even though there was still a certain distance, the smell of foxes spread in an instant.

The person who came was actually a gorgeous fox demon, Su Qiao.

Different from when she first entered the Tao Mansion, Su Qiao at this moment was wearing a white long dress, which was decorated with dots of grass green and lotus root powder, which looked a little fresh and refined, and the heavy makeup and glamorous makeup in the daytime were like two people.

"It's so late, why is the Seventh Lady here?" Mu Tian asked, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Su Qiao.

Su Qiao moved the lotus step lightly, but he was a little forward-looking, and seemed to be very nervous, but a pair of demonic eyes kept looking Mu Tianyi up and down.

"The Seventh Lady seems to have come to the wrong place!" Mu Tianyi was a little uncomfortable when Su Qiao saw it, and said with a little displeasure.

"Well, do you think I want to come? It's not the dead ghost who told you that no one in this garden should believe him but him. ”

Su Qiao immediately glanced at his mouth again, "The meaning of that bad thing, isn't it that even I can't believe it?"

"Hehe, he doesn't believe you, why did he let you pass the word?"

Su Qiao chuckled, "He, I'm afraid that he has been entangled by someone, and he can't come to see you in the past two days, so he has no choice but to call me here!"

Then she said to herself, "Yes, who can he find if he doesn't look for me? I am probably the most harmless in this garden!"

An imperceptible strangeness flashed in her eyes.

"I see. Then thank you Lady Seven for reminding me. Mu Tian bowed his hand and saluted.

"Hehe, don't say I didn't warn you, the more gentle and kind it looks in this garden, the more terrible it is. ”

Su Qiao giggled again, looking at Mu Tianyi and the others as if they were looking at a pile of corpses again.

Mu Tian smiled and suddenly asked, "Since the Seventh Lady has already come just now, why did she wander around the pavilion and not come in directly?"

"Little brother, don't talk nonsense, it's like I'm spying on you, I'm knocking on the door as soon as I come, who has time to hang out here?"

Su Qiao looked around, revealing a look of disgust but fear.

Mu Tian nodded and said: "This is not the boy, I misunderstood the Seventh Lady, but it was a coincidence just now, just before you came, someone secretly peeked, which is really strange." ”

When Su Qiao heard this, his face changed instantly, "Why is it so fast?" Hehe, I have already brought the words, and I will stay for a short time, I wish you all good luck!"

said an inexplicable word and left the small building.

Mu Tianyi frowned slightly, this fox demon is also a true spirit realm cultivator, what is she afraid of?

Immediately afterwards, there was a faint, rustling sound of footsteps from the trees next to the gazebo outside the door, which seemed particularly strange in this silent night.

Su Qiao trembled even more when he heard this voice, and he ran towards his courtyard like a desperate escape, and even turned back into his original form.

"Who?"

Mu Tian jumped up one by one and swept to the bushes, but he did not see any figures, but saw some unusual blood stains in the bushes.

After smelling it, the smell was incomparable, and the blood stains were like dew drops, falling on the leaves, obviously just stained.
