Chapter 17: The Murderous House
The night was getting dark.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the streets and alleys of the capital are brightly illuminated. Tang Yu rode a horse and came to the Sea Dragon King's Mansion on Zhengyang Street alone.
The happy chick is really waiting outside the house.
Seeing Tang Yu coming, she greeted her and said mischievously: "Xiao Yu Kuai, I didn't expect you to really dare to come, I am a thousand-year-old fox demon who has attained the Tao, you come with me, in the dead of night, you are not afraid that I will devour you in one bite?"
Tang Yule dismounted, glanced around quickly, and whispered, "Are you leaving, I'll call someone if you don't leave?"
"Let's go. "The happy chick is no longer teasing, obedient and obedient," as soon as you shout, Uncle Ding inside will definitely not let me out when he hears it. β
The two men pulled the horses and walked forward silently.
After walking for a while, they turned down at Tonghui Bridge, walked through a bush, and walked on a gloomy path. The fish lights on the bank of the river flickered, and in the sound of the rushing water, two **** people with upper bodies and leather pants stood in the river to pull nets to fish. On the other side of the forest, a few floating men and women sat on the ground, drinking and singing, and joking in a lewd tone. Seeing this pair of young people walking by, they glanced at it with bad intentions, but it was only because of Tang Yu's official uniform and steel knife in his hand that they didn't dare to rashly step forward to provoke.
After walking forward for a while, the happy chick suddenly crossed into the miserable and lonely path.
The trail leads to a vast black forest!
"Where are we going?" Tang Yu grabbed the reins of the horse and asked, "This place is desolate enough, there is no road at all when the vines are entangled, what should I do if people pass the horse?"
The happy chick took a sip and complained: "The horse can't walk, you tie it to the trunk of a tree, there is no one in a radius of several miles here, who will steal it?"
The further they walked inside, the darker it became.
In the end, I could only tell the way by a little moonlight cast through the gaps in the leaves.
The path is tortuous, and the moonlight is desolate. The forest grew denser, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves. There was no noise all around, except for one or two terrible bird chirps to break the dull silence.
The happy chick walks over, stops in front of a towering tree, and prostrates down to check.
Tang Yu then followed: "What are you looking for?"
"Of course, it's a sign of meeting with the fox fairy. β
". β
"Don't doubt me, or you'll regret it later?" The happy chick squatted down and groped on the grass in the dark.
Tang Yu walked on his own, only to feel that his steps stumbled and he almost tripped on the bumpy grass. He paused, calmed down, and asked, "Chick, what the hell are you waiting for, can you tell me?"
"Shhhh The happy chick put her finger to her lips, "It's coming, don't make a sound!"
"Something is coming. β
"Little demon. β
"You're still?"
The happy chick leaned down, leaned close to Tang Yu's ear, and whispered, "Trust me." I've got a fish bait, it's fragrant, and it's going to be ...... tonight."
As he spoke, a girl's body fragrance as elegant as an orchid struck.
Tang Yu didn't feel that his face was hot: "You don't bluff me." β
Suddenly, there was a "woo" sound behind the tree, followed by the sound of struggling and bumping, the happy chick jumped up with a bow, shook the fire fold, and rushed over: "Come on, it fell into the silver wire net, and I caught it!" Tang Yu also ran over quickly, and under the orange firelight of the fire fold, he saw a snow-white little thing lying in the net, rushing left and right, meowing and screaming, and a white light shot out of his teeth and two oily eyes!
"Snow Lion?"
Tang Yu was dumbfounded.
Now it was the happy chick's turn to be surprised: "What, do you know this cat?"
"Yes. β
The snow lion slammed into the silver wire net, soaring into the sky, and when it was exhausted, its iron hook-like claws clung to the net, and it was divided left and right, and a sneering sound tore a hole! The body was like a snake stretching and contracting, and when it poked through the gap, it had already appeared outside the net. Three jumps and two jumps, and burrowed into the woods of the black hole.
Tang Yu chased after him, trying to capture him alive, but to no avail.
The happy chick was angry and pulled out the short sword in her waist: "Quick, chase quickly, be sure to catch it!"
The two of them followed the path of the snow lion's escape, and chased it out, running three times and two times, and in the moonlight they saw it slip into a desolate and ruined gatehouse. The happy chick was in a hurry, and when she took the first few steps up the lapis steps, she pushed open the two creaking and broken wooden doors, and entered the house. Tang Yu then followed.
Inside the gatehouse was a large deserted courtyard, overgrown with weeds and chirping insects.
Tang Yu pulled out his waist knife, held it in his hand, and bent down to tuck the placket of his robe into his belt. He approached the chick and said, "The grass is deep here, beware of snakes, don't move." β
The happy chick holds the sword and judges the situation.
She searched for a while, made sure that the "snow lion" was not in the courtyard, and looked to both sides, and saw that the garden wall of the courtyard was only three feet high, and the garden was full of trees. Tang Yu and the little girl searched boldly, approached the garden wall, and were about to lie down and peek inside, when suddenly, the wall shook and a few bricks fell. Then a white light flashedβ
"I saw it. "The chick wields a dagger.
Tang Yu also climbed the wall, turned over, and shouted, "Hugh has to escape!"
Suddenly, from behind the big trees in the garden, two giant birds flew out, hovering in the air and spreading their wings, like dark clouds covering the moon, and it was pitch black all around!
Tang Yu raised his head, and when he glanced at it, he could see that the two flying out were not birds, but people-
A ghost man dressed in black and wearing a mask!
"Beware!"
Before he could finish speaking, two ghost figures flew down, and two curved scimitars slashed down in the air. Tang Yu's steel knife was swung out, Yangguan was stacked three times, and it rotated straight up, and when it was two sounds, his wrist was shocked and numb. He took several steps back. Looking sideways, the short sword of the happy chick over there is even more difficult to resist the long scimitar, and she is overstretched, and her shoulder blade has been bleeding and injured!
The ghost shadow man slashed left and right, and the sword was light.
There is a great tendency to cut the opponent in two.
In a hurry, Tang Yu didn't think much about it, and as soon as he raised his hand to clasp the motive, the sound of sneering through the air was endless. When he was in danger, he shot out the eighteen short-sleeved arrows that his father-in-law Guo Lao sent to protect his life and save his life!
The ghost man stumbled, and the offensive slowed down, obviously falling for a secret move.
Tang Yu swung his knife forward.
Seeing that it was dark overhead, another ghost man swooped down, paused slightly, grabbed his companion and rushed into the sky again. The eagle slid like a falcon for several feet, disappearing into the vast night.
The courtyard is lonely, and the night breeze is rustling.
If it weren't for the here and now, there would be no doubt that everything that had just happened was just an unrealistic dream?
Tang Yu picked up the happy chick, bandaged her wound, and asked, "Does the wound hurt?"
"This little fairy roams the rivers and lakes, and he is famous for a lifetime. The chick gritted her silver teeth: "I can't imagine that I will be defeated in the hands of these two nameless thieves today?"
Tang Yu supported the happy chick and dragged her down the garden wall, saying: "These people are not ordinary people, they are Dongying warriors, full-time killers!" The two took a breath under the wall, and the chick said: "We can't just go back, that cat hasn't been caught yet, how embarrassing?" Tang Yu said: "Don't mention it, let's talk about it tomorrow." Don't you think it's big enough to mess with this dark night?"
The happy chick was not convinced: "If you want to go, you go, I'll stay, I'll find it myself." As he spoke, he walked through the corridor, climbed the steps in the backyard, and was about to go inside, when he suddenly screamed, turned around and ran back: "Tang, Tang, Tang Yu, did you hear it?" Just behind that door, hush, buzzing, uh-huh, why is the voice so scary?"
"No, I don't. β
"Yes, there must be. The happy chick lost her face and pointed behind the door with her hand: "It's over there!"
Let the chick scream like this, Tang Yu also felt a cool breath on the back of his spine, and his hair stood up. He mustered his courage, raised his steel knife, paced it step by step, and when he was close to the door, he kicked it open and slashed with his sword.
Under the miserable white moonlight, I saw a woman's body suddenly fall down, facing the stone steps on her back, and her white clothes were stained with blood!
