Nightmare Attack

"What's the matter? Why did the two living people get lost?" Li Bai couldn't hide the tension on his face when he heard that Fatty and Yao Shunyu had disappeared.

The door was open, and Jiang Cheng stood behind the door with a gloomy face, looking out at the darkness outside. Not long ago, he followed Fatty and his party from a distance. He was not in a hurry to follow closely, but who would have thought that after a turn, when he rushed over, the lantern light disappeared, and Fatty and his party all disappeared.

Naturally, he would not give up easily, and chased along the road for a while, but there was a mystery hidden in the seemingly gentle courtyard, the corridors extended in all directions, and many places were no longer illuminated by white lanterns. Everything gradually changed, the trees, and the stacked rocks all melted into the dark black outline of the mold lake, vaguely, as if growing limbs, or something was hiding behind.

If they continue to chase, not only will they be unable to find Fatty and the others, but they will also trap themselves, so Jiang Cheng has no choice but to retreat first, and then find another way.

Shao Tong, who was sitting at the table, gathered up his military overcoat, and groaned with some dissatisfaction: "What did I say, Daoist, there is obviously something wrong with this house, and you don't believe me when I say that I was planted as a stranger. Lord Dao, I also have supernatural powers, if you want me to say that we will go out now, capture the Zhennanhou, and use some ruthless methods on him, so that he will not tell the truth."

Everyone was already upset, and after hearing Shao Tong's bad idea, they were even more displeased. Just because a few of them captured Zhennan Hou in this Hou's mansion, did they pretend to be the guards?

Lu Qin gave Shao Tong a hard look, and the latter calmed down.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and not long after, a man in his early 30s appeared outside the door, also holding a lantern in his hand.

The man was wearing the clothes of the servants of the Hou's mansion, but they obviously didn't fit very well, his sleeves were too long, and there was an indescribable panic between his brows, "Masters, Master Hou invited you to come over and talk about something important. "

"Didn't Master Hou already send someone to invite him?" Zhang Qizheng was stunned, "Two of us have already been taken away."

The man was taken aback, and then looked at the people in the room. After counting, there were indeed two people missing, and the man's expression immediately became tense, "Why? I just received the order, and Master Hou didn't arrange for anyone else to notify me. just me…"

After a while, the man seemed to realize something, walked directly into the door, closed the door carefully, and finally put the bolt on, then turned his head and asked: "Everyone... masters, what does the person who came to pick you up look like?" , you... do you still remember?"

Looking at the man's cautious appearance, Jiang Cheng suspected that he must know something, so he replied: "It's a woman, it should be the servant girl in the Hou's mansion."

"Woman, how could it be a woman..." The man lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, but he was caught by Jiang Cheng and others, which further confirmed his guess.

At the same time, Jiang Cheng noticed a very strange phenomenon. The man was holding a lantern in his left hand, while his right arm was hanging down unnaturally. His right hand was completely covered by a wide sleeve robe. This obviously ill-fitting clothes, as if all this was just to cover up the right hand hidden under the sleeve robe.

Jiang Cheng inadvertently glanced at the rest of the people. Judging from everyone's performance, he was far more than the only one who found something strange. While comforting the man, Li Bai fetched paper and ink, and didn't shy away from it, so he just poured some tea and rubbed the ink. , Jiang Cheng sat at the table, picked up a pen, and outlined the appearance of a woman with just a few strokes.

"It's her, do you know her?" Jiang Cheng finished his pen and observed the man's reaction.

A few seconds later, the man's eyes suddenly tightened, and then he stepped back a few steps, his body loosened, and an angular object fell from his cuff, and fell to the ground with a "slap".

The man immediately went to pick it up after he realized it, but Tang Qisheng was much faster than him and picked it up. Only then did everyone see clearly that it was a gossip mirror. The bronze-colored mirror had a sense of age. A vulgar thing.

"Give me back the things!"

The man was so angry that he reached out to grab it, but Jiang Cheng caught him in the next second, and pushed him down on the table with his backhand, facing the painting sideways.

Staring at the woman in the painting, the man trembled with fear, constantly struggling and begging for mercy, as if he was worried that the other party would get out of the drawing paper.

Tang Qisheng played with the gossip mirror in his hand, and couldn't help admiring: "It's a good thing, it's really a good thing." After speaking, he turned the gossip mirror around. The material on the back is like burnt wood, but it looks more textured , "The Xuanzhou Shuiluo Mirror of the Eight Classics, the back of the wood struck by lightning, and the Taoist record of Taoism engraved with dark patterns on it, if you guessed right, this thing was invited from Taoism, right? It’s impossible to have such a treasure, to be honest, where did you steal it from?”

"Give it back to me! Give it back to me!" The man was about to cry, "I didn't steal it, it was... the steward of the mansion lent it to me. Anyone who comes in here must wear a bodyguard." The Magical Artifact, you have to return it after you go out, and once you lose it, your life will be lost!"

"Why, why do you have to bring a body protector here? What happened here?" Zhu Jie asked, and the ominous premonition in everyone's hearts was gradually becoming a reality.

"I...I can't say..."

Seeing that the man was so stubborn, Shao Tong became interested and looked at Tang Qisheng excitedly, "Since he refuses to tell, then smash the mirror and see how he will explain when he goes back."

Tang Qisheng naturally understood the seriousness~www.wuxiamtl.com~ He raised the mirror as if he was about to fall to the ground, the man broke his defense immediately when he saw this, and cried, "Don't, don't fall! I said, this is the place where Lord Hou specially rescued his dead wife. The built other courtyard has been rumored to be haunted since it was built, and it is said that people have died. This matter... everyone in the Hou Mansion knows about it, so there is nothing special, and no one will come close to it , especially at night."

"Is this a private house?" Li Bai was secretly startled.

"No... that's right." Staring at the painting on the table, the man's voice trembled nervously, "Also, the woman in the painting is the servant girl next to the madam, she... she is already dead!"

Reminiscent of what the woman said, she was here to invite someone to see Lord Hou and his wife, and it was almost the same to see his wife, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but began to worry about the situation of Fatty and Yao, Shunyu.

"How did Ma'am and the others die?" Jiang Cheng asked.

The man shook his head violently as if resigned to his fate, "I don't know, I really don't know, Madam has been dead for a long time, she died before I entered the mansion, I... I have never seen Madam's face."
