The sudden sound of the horn frightened everyone under the eaves and trembled.

Du Yuan and Geng Jia in the courtyard became more and more vigilant, looking nervously at the movements around them.

Du Yuan couldn't help but ask:

"Apprentice, can you see the demons?"

Geng Jia shook his head:

"Master, I can't see anything. ”

At this time, Geng Mingchuan said:

"Don't panic, everyone! This is the horn sound of a guest coming from my Gengjiabao, which means that a guest is coming!"

Geng Jia's face was full of surprise:

"It's been nighting for so long, and there are still guests coming? Dad, could it be a ghost?"

"This ......" Geng Mingchuan was not sure, after all, pedestrians were basically extinct after nightfall, and no one would rush in the darkness of this generation of demons and evils.

Geng Jia clenched the Xi Heguo and the bronze mirror in his hand:

"It doesn't matter if he's a human or a ghost, let's go over and take a look!"

Geng Mingchuan also had this idea, and at that moment he summoned the guards in Geng's fort and walked towards the gate of the fort together.

Jiang Yuan glanced at Han Chao and Yuan He, and also followed Geng Mingchuan and his party together.

The people in this guest hall and the small courtyard suddenly dissipated, and only the gray-black ghost niche was still quietly left in the courtyard, which was particularly gloomy.

The group climbed up the walls of the Dock Fort, and looked out into the dark wilderness outside the Dock Castle by the light of the fire.

In the south, three figures were approaching the Dock Fort in the dark, walking in strange postures, staggering but fast.

Geng Mingchuan raised his hand and made a gesture towards the tall watchtower.

Suddenly, a crisp sound of bowstrings was heard from the watchtower, and a rocket was fired from the watchtower, heading towards the three people in the distance.

The flaming rocket slashed over the heads of the three in the distance and pinned to the ground in the distance.

In the fleeting light of the fire, everyone on the wall could finally see that there were three young men, two men and one woman, who were rushing towards the watchtower.

The three young men were covered in blood, and one of the men appeared to be injured, and the other two were able to walk with their shoulders on their shoulders.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the three young men soon came to the bottom of the dock fort, only to hear someone shouting loudly towards the dock fort:

"Hurry up and put down the hanging door!"

Everyone in the dock fort looked at Geng Mingchuan, as if staring at his decision.

After all, these three blood-stained people in the dark night are too weird, and it is difficult to tell whether they are humans or ghosts.

Jiang Yuan frowned:

"The people of the Lan family ......"

From these three young people, Jiang Yuan felt the breath of the Lan family's inheritance.

Meeting the children of the Lan family here, this is something Jiang Yuan never thought of.

Geng Mingchuan looked at Du Yuan and Geng Jia at this time, as if waiting for their opinions.

I saw Geng Jia raise the Xi and fruit in his hand high, and then crush it violently.

The dazzling light instantly lit up from the city wall, and also shone on the bodies of the three people under the dock fort.

Suddenly, someone shouted and cursed:

"What are you doing? Be presumptuous! Don't open the door again! Don't blame us for breaking in!"

The light in the night quickly faded, making it difficult for everyone to adjust to the darkness for a while.

The three people under the dock fort have not changed, which also makes everyone's hearts relaxed, it seems that it is not a demon who comes.

At this time, I only heard Steward Zhao whisper to Geng Mingchuan:

"Master, looking at their costumes, they look like the group of people who occupy the iron mine......"

Geng Jia, as a martial artist, has sensitive ears, and even if Steward Zhao's voice is very low, she can still hear it clearly. She suddenly asked in confusion:

"Mine, what mine?"

I only heard Steward Zhao explain embarrassedly:

"Miss, you have been away from home for many years, and there is a mine in the south that is rich in iron ore, and it is also one of the iron ore suppliers in our dock fort. It's just that later, the mine was occupied by a group of strongmen with super high martial arts, and not only the price of iron ore soared, but even the price of gemstones became higher and higher day by day. ”

Geng Jia continued to wonder:

"Is the main formula of the Gemstone, is the Gemstone Powder also produced in that mine?"

Steward Zhao nodded.

Doubts surged on Du Yuan's old face, obviously he also knew about this for the first time.

Jiang Yuan's heart also moved when he heard this, he had heard Master Geng say that the blade with mysterious runes sold by Geng Jiabao seemed to come from that mine.

This made Jiang Yuan more and more curious about the mine, and he didn't know what mystery it had, not only could it produce strange things like gems and rune blades, but it was also occupied by the people of the Lan family.

Geng Mingchuan shouted to the dock at this time:

"The three of them came from afar, I don't know what they mean?"

I heard a young man under the Dock Fort say angrily:

"What a nuisance! Watch me climb up the wall and open this broken door!"

But then a female voice sounded:

"Don't mess around! Don't forget our purpose!"

Then the young man snorted coldly and remained silent.

The woman shouted against the wall of the fort:

"Dare to ask if this place is Gengjiabao or Pangjiabao? I and the other three of us suffered an accident and some of our companions were injured, and we asked Guibao to put down the drawbridge and let us enter for the night!"

Geng Mingchuan hesitated for a moment, and looked at Du Yuan and Geng Jia again.

If it was daytime, Geng Mingchuan would have put down the suspension bridge to welcome the guests warmly.

But now it's dark night, and the other three are covered in blood, and no one knows what will happen.

And Geng Jia said disapprovingly:

"There are only three of them, and they are not demons. Just let them in, with me and Master, I don't believe they can do anything!"

Hearing what his daughter said, Geng Mingchuan also relieved himself and ordered his subordinates to lower the suspension bridge.

As the drawbridge was slowly lowered, Geng Mingchuan led everyone to the gate of the dock fort, ready to welcome the three of them in.

The three people outside the dock fort also quickly walked in, and a man and a woman appeared in everyone's sight in a man who looked like he was almost unconscious.

Jiang Yuan quietly observed the three Lan family disciples, watching their every move.

There was a hint of fear in the expressions of a man and a woman who were still awake, and they looked back at the night outside the dock from time to time, as if they were worried that something terrible was chasing them.

The wounded man had a large hole in his chest, and the flesh, bones, and internal organs were clearly visible.

However, the man was not dead, and his wound still showed a faint hint of trying to recover, but there was a faint trace of black gas around the wound, making it impossible for the wound to heal itself.

Jiang Yuan was very familiar with that black qi, it was the ghost qi.

The people of Gengjiabao were all amazed when they saw such a shocking injury.

Du Yuan whispered a few words to Geng Jia beside him, and after getting Geng Jia's answer and description, Du Yuan's old face was thoughtful.

The three people who entered outside the dock fort didn't seem to want to entangle with everyone too much, so they heard the man say coldly:

"What are you doing in a daze? Prepare a room for us, with water and charcoal!"

The man's tone was arrogant, and he had no awareness of being a guest at all.

Everyone in Gengjiabao looked displeased, how to say that Gengjiabao allowed them to stay here, this man was so rude.

Geng Mingchuan smiled, he didn't mind this, he immediately ordered his subordinates to lead the three of them to the guest room.

He has presided over Geng Jiabao for so many years, what kind of person Geng Mingchuan has never seen, and there are many people who are perverse and eccentric among the people who come and go, and the more people who are like this, the greater their ability.

And the woman suddenly opened her mouth and asked Geng Mingchuan:

"You are the lord of the castle? How far is this place from Dancheng? and among the castles, have you ever invited ghosts?"

Geng Mingchuan looked at his mouth and replied:

"We are two days away from Dancheng, and we also have ghosts in Gengjiabao. But don't panic the three distinguished guests, I Gengjiabao have invited ghosts for many years, but there has never been any mistakes, and no guests have been troubled. ”

After hearing Geng Mingchuan's answer, the two still sober Lan family disciples glanced at each other, and their faces were not very good-looking.

But in the end, they didn't say anything more, just followed the people away, and walked in the direction of the guest room.

Looking at the three Lan family disciples going away, Jiang Yuan became more and more interested in all this:

"What are they doing here, and what is it that scares them?"

As the three of them left, the people of Gengjiabao also began to talk about it, such as dealing with these strange three people.

Some suggested that they should be expelled, others suggested that they should be entertained, and others suggested that they should be strictly monitored and guarded.

In the end, I only heard Du Yuan speak:

"Those three people, you'd better not provoke. ”

Du Yuan has a special identity and is the most important guest of Gengjiabao. As soon as he opened his mouth, his opinions immediately unified.

Geng Mingchuan immediately adopted Du Yuan's opinion and instructed his subordinates to treat the three strangers well, and at the same time not to explore their privacy.

And Geng Mingchuan also asked Du Yuan about the identities of the three people, but Du Yuan smiled and did not answer.

At that moment, Gengjiabao could only close the door, and everyone began to return towards the guest hall.

When the group returned to the small courtyard in front of the guest hall, Jiang Yuan noticed something unusual.

The gloomy gray-black ghost shrine in the courtyard was still standing quietly, but Jiang Yuan keenly felt a trace of ghost aura from the ghost shrine.

And when Geng Jia came to the ghost shrine, he also found something unusual:

"Master, the human blood in the shrine....... It's gone!"

Such a change made people nervous all of a sudden.

Geng Mingchuan's expression changed slightly:

After all, there are demons and ghosts, and others dare not easily attack Gengjiabao's idea, and they can also make Gengjiabao safe from the invasion of other demons and ghosts at night. ”

Geng Jia shook his head and said:

"Dad, that demon is in my Gengjiabao for a day, and we have to use living people to worship for a day. I can't agree with this kind of approach! After Gengjiabao, I will protect it!"

Du Yuan also spoke:

"Lord Gengbao, worshipping demons and ghosts can't protect Gengjiabao. Haven't you heard of the tragic situation of Pangjiabao? When Xiaojia and I came, we passed by Pangjiabao, and we saw the situation there very clearly. ”

"This ......." Geng Mingchuan couldn't help but shake again when he heard about Pangjiabao.

Jiang Yuan had already begun to lose patience, he watched these people busy for a long time, but he couldn't even see the shadow of the demon.

It seems that this Du Yuan and Geng Jia can't count on them anymore, and if they want to find the demon hunt, they have to rely on themselves.

Moreover, he was also very curious about the three Lan family disciples, Jiang Yuan planned to find out some useful information from them before killing them.

Immediately, Jiang Yuan opened his mouth and said:

"Lord Gengbao, it's getting late and we're tired, please send someone to take us down to rest. ”
