Chapter 202: Haunted (4)
On the way to the guest room, it was Steward Zhao who had been guiding the three of them.
Along the way, Steward Zhao kept apologizing to Jiang Yuan:
"There are too many things tonight, so I don't greet you well, and I ask the three distinguished guests to forgive me!"
A quiet courtyard came into view, and the two maidservants at the gate of the courtyard were bowing to a few people.
Here, it is also the guest room where Jiang Yuan and the three of them stayed.
When he came to the gate of the small courtyard, Jiang Yuan turned to Steward Zhao and asked:
"Do the three people who entered the Dock Fort live around here too?"
Steward Zhao shook his head:
"The dock fort often entertains people from the rivers and lakes, and among the guests who run in this area, it is inevitable that there will be some grievances and frictions on weekdays. Therefore, in order to avoid conflicts between guests due to meeting, Wubao has rooms in the four corners of the south, east, west, and north, and the guests who stay in the hotel are also living separately. The three guests who entered earlier were staying in the rooms on the south side. ”
Jiang Yuan nodded:
"We're going to rest, Steward Zhao, please take the maidservants down." ”
Steward Zhao immediately retired, and at the same time took away the two maidservants at the gate of the small courtyard.
Jiang Yuan and the three of them stepped into the small courtyard, and there were three exquisite houses in the courtyard, which happened to be for the three of them to live in.
Han Chao opened his mouth and asked:
"Childe, I always feel that something is wrong tonight. Or we-"
Jiang Yuan waved his hand to interrupt Han Chao's words, and at the same time turned his head and smiled mysteriously at Han Chao and Yuan He:
"Don't worry about anything, just sleep well. ”
Han Chao and Yuan He glanced at each other, not understanding what Jiang Yuan meant by this.
However, they still clenched their fists at Jiang Yuan in a playful manner, and then each entered a room and began to rest.
Jiang Yuan came to the middle house alone, and closed the door after entering.
There were no candles lit in the dark room, Jiang Yuan sat quietly on the chair alone, his eyes thoughtful:
"The Lan family, please ghost, and Du Yuan...... I'm really too lazy to play hide-and-seek with you, so I'll just solve it all at once!"
Although the guest room in the small courtyard was quiet, Jiang Yuan's keen ears could still clearly hear the movement in the dock fort.
There were the footsteps of the housekeepers patrolling the dock fort, the guards chatting on the guard tower, the maidservants and maidservants talking privately in the boudoir, and some sounds in the distance.
He removed the water bag from his waist and pulled out the plug, and two ghosts slowly appeared in the darkness.
Jiang Yuan looked at the ghost in the darkness with satisfaction:
"Who will be solved first? Just those three Lan family children. The people of the Lan family, I will kill one when I see one!"
The corners of his mouth curled into a hideous smile in the darkness, and a thick black mist suddenly appeared above and below Zhou's body.
The black mist soon filled the entire house, and strangely, the black mist pierced through the walls and roof between the wriggling and began to drift towards the outside of the house.
If someone looks down on Gengjiabao from a high altitude at this time, they will find that in the small courtyard guest room in the east corner of Pangjiabao, a thick black fog is spreading rapidly. Wherever the black fog passed, whether it was a living person or a domestic animal, after the black fog covered it, all of them turned pale and instantly unconscious, and their voices were extinguished.
The thick black mist spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire southeast of Gengjiabao was already as if it was soaked in ink and turned black. The black fog did not stop, and the wriggling shrouded towards the entire Gengjia Fort.
.......................................................................................................................................................................................
On the other side of Gengjiabao, a group of people walked briskly in the dock fort with torches.
Most of the people in this group were guards with sharp blades and torches, and they surrounded Geng Mingchuan, Geng Jia, and Du Yuan, as if they were looking for something.
Geng Jia kept staring at the quaint copper compass in his hand:
"After moving away from that guy, the cathode compass seems to be fine, and the pointer doesn't always point in one direction....... Master, is the cathode compass good or bad in its current state?"
Du Yuan is blind and there is no wave in the ancient well:
"The cathode compass has never been broken. ”
"Huh?" Geng Jia wondered, "Then when you were eating just now, why did you say it was broken, if it wasn't broken...... So that guy is a demon?!"
Geng Mingchuan listened to his daughter's words and said in surprise:
"Xiaojia, do you mean the young boy by 'that guy'?"
Geng Jia nodded, with a cold face:
"I know that guy is definitely not a living person!Master, why didn't you expose his true colors and destroy him just now?"
Du Yuan sighed and said:
"Apprentice, you have been protected by your teacher all these years, and your heart is inevitably too arrogant and impetuous. Although I am blind, my ears are not deaf, and I can hear the son's breathing and heartbeat clearly, he is not a demon. ”
Geng Mingchuan also nodded hurriedly and said:
"That's right, that boy has been with me during the day, and he is not afraid of the sun. ”
Geng Jia was confused when he heard this:
"Then why does the cathode compass keep pointing at him?"
Du Yuan's expression changed slightly:
"That's because he has demons around him, and he's ....... That demon is the man-eating ghost we found in Dancheng!"
As soon as he heard the cannibal ghost, not only Geng Mingchuan's face changed slightly, but even the faces of the surrounding guards also showed panic.
Geng Jia frowned:
"Who is he....... Since there are cannibal ghosts, why don't we subdue demons and subdue ghosts?"
Du Yuan shook his head:
"I've heard that there is a kind of person in this world who can drive demons, and their organization is called the 'Wing Sect'. If I'm not mistaken, that boy is a member of the Wing Sect, and those two trolls are his ghost servants. Since that son has not revealed his identity and has not moved, we had better not provoke him. The people of the Wing Sect are so evil that even the great princely families can't completely eradicate them all the time, and we may not be his opponents. ”
Geng Jia's face was full of unwillingness when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more.
On the contrary, Geng Mingchuan strongly agreed:
"That's right, that's right! More things are better than less, whether that son is a member of the Wing Sect or not, but since people are here to visit, let's just eat and drink well and entertain well. No one is rude, and we should not offend anyone. ”
Du Yuan continued to ask:
"Disciple, where does the cathode compass point now? The most urgent task is to get rid of the demons invited in the fort first. ”
As soon as she heard that she was going to get rid of the ghosts, Geng Jia suddenly became excited, and she hurriedly lowered her head to look at the copper compass in her hand:
"Master, that demon has been moving between the east and the north, and when it gets closer, I can force it to appear with Xi and fruit......! What is this?"
Geng Jia was talking, but suddenly found that there was a layer of black mist around him.
She stretched out her soft jade hand and wiped it away towards the black mist that was gradually spreading, but the black mist seemed to be suddenly attracted by something, and kept burrowing into the skin of her palm.
This startled Geng Jia, but then his whole body began to look strange:
"It's cold....... It's so uncomfortable......."
At this time, there was a sudden noise around him.
Geng Jia turned his head to look, but saw that the accompanying guards collapsed to the ground one after another, and even Geng Mingchuan was not spared. Their faces were pale, their eyes were closed, and they were clearly unconscious.
"Daddy!"
Geng Jia screamed, and was about to reach out to help.
But she stumbled and barely managed to get to her feet.
"Hold your breath!" Du Yuan also seemed to notice something abnormal, "No! It's useless to stop breathing!"
As he spoke, Du Yuan's withered hand like a bamboo pole suddenly reached out and grabbed Geng Jia's arm accurately.
Then a wave of inheritance power came out of Du Yuan's hand, extending along Geng Jia's arm into her body, constantly removing the black mist that poured into her body.
At this moment, Geng Jia's face was a little ruddy, and she asked a little weakly:
"Master...... What the hell is going on?"
Du Yuan's face was very ugly:
"Such a strong evil aura is caused by powerful demons! The power of that demon is beyond my control. We need to get out of here quickly, Gengjiabao is afraid to ....... tonight In the catastrophe is not escaped. ”
A black mist had enveloped the surroundings, and it was already impossible to see three steps away. When he arrived, more black mist came in, and even in the black mist, he couldn't see his fingers.
Geng Jia looked at the black fog around him in horror, and pleaded bitterly:
"Master, please save my father! I have been separated from him for ten years, and today we are finally reunited.......
Du Yuan nodded, his thin arm seemed to contain a huge amount of power, and he quickly grabbed Geng Mingchuan, who was unconscious on the ground, and put it on his shoulder, and also crossed the power of inheritance into his body.
Then Du Yuan felt the surrounding environment with his memory, ears and nose, and left quickly with Geng Jia in this invisible environment.
Geng Jia kept looking back at Geng Jiabao shrouded in black fog, this was her home, the home that she had finally returned after ten years of absence, was it really going to be destroyed in this night?
.......................................................................................................................................................................................
In the south corner of Gengjiabao, there is also a small courtyard room for guests to stay, and the three children of the Lan family are staying here.
At this time, the three of them gathered in a brightly lit room, and the badly injured Lan family disciple was still lying unconscious on the bed, while another woman washed his wounds with a towel dipped in water from a copper basin.
After cleaning for a while, the woman sighed and said:
"Those demons and ghosts are too vicious! The evil qi is condensed in the three important positions of Lan An, if the evil qi is rashly removed, Lan An will become a wasted person. Only by returning to the family can you seek the help of the masters. ”
One of the remaining men looked at everything coldly and said:
"It's really not good, so I have to give up Lan'an. The way he looks like this will drag us down. ”
The woman's face was annoyed when she heard this, but then she could only take a breath, although this suggestion was helpless, but it was also the right choice.
The man hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Lan Shu, by helping the living people of Gengjiabao, can we really escape smoothly?"
The woman known as Lan Shu had a cold glint in her eyes, and she spoke:
"Dogs can't change eating, and demons can't change eating people. When they see a living person, they can't suppress their desires at all. In this dark night, if it weren't for this group of Gengjiabao living people to cover for us, we wouldn't have been able to escape the pursuit of those demons and ghosts. ”
When the man heard this, his face couldn't help but show anger:
"The Five Ghost Dao is too deceitful! We are about to dig up the fragments, and they dare to raid at night and kill so many people in my Lan family! When we go back, we will definitely report to the king, and ask the king to send troops to kill all the five ghost dao demons and ghosts entrenched in Wei County!"
Lan Shu was extremely disgusted with the man's complaints, and she said in a deep voice:
"Lan Li, don't talk this useless nonsense! Listen to the movement outside, and when the demons who are chasing us start to prey on the living people of Gengjiabao, I will seize the opportunity to escape while the chaos is in order. ”
The man known as Lan Li was taught a lesson by Lan Shu, and he was about to get angry but his face was full of doubts:
"Strange...... Why is it so quiet out there all of a sudden?"
