Through the door paper pasted on the door, one could vaguely see something radiating warm light floating over. It was a lantern, which was held in one's hand, and a young woman's voice sounded later: "Masters, Ann!" Alright, Master Hou and Madam invite a few masters to go over and explain."
This was an appointment made earlier in the morning, and there was no way to shirk it. Besides, everyone urgently needed to contact Zhennanhou to get more information. After repeated testing, the woman did not reveal any flaws.
After the door opened, there was a girl dressed as a maid standing outside. She was very young, probably not yet an adult, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, with a hint of agility.
"Master Hou wants us to go there together, or the ones we haven't seen this afternoon?" Jiang Cheng asked very naturally, while also looking at the girl's reaction.
The girl seemed embarrassed by being stared at by Jiang Cheng and the others. She lowered her head halfway, bowed to everyone, and asked, "Don't bother me, masters, go with me. Master Hou has an order, and please master the date of birth with the horoscope." Let me tell you, Master Hou will choose the right person."
As soon as these words came out, everyone shuddered, and the fat man looked at Jiang Cheng secretly, because in the story Jiang Cheng told, there were a group of poor fishermen who were kidnapped by the officers and soldiers assigned by the Hou Mansion. Bound to Chunshen Lake to perform the task of salvaging treasures, and the way to choose is through the so-called birthday horoscope.
According to everyone's later calculations, the old fisherman was able to come back alive at that time, most likely because his horoscope did not match the horoscope calculated by Ye Tianshi. After all, he was the only person added to the roster. He replaced a The location of the person called Gouwa.
This is not picking people, this is picking people to die.
But everyone had no choice but to tell their birth date. Of course, everyone made it up, but even so, 4 people were picked out.
Fatty, Yao Shunyu, Lu Qin, and Shao Tong.
Except for Shao Tong who still looked nervous, the expressions of the other three were ugly.
"These four masters and I are going to see Lord Hou. The rest of the masters have a good rest. I'm afraid I will trouble you tomorrow." The girl is very polite, unlike ordinary maids. On this occasion, many people will be favored.
Later, the girl held the lantern at the front and took the four of them away with the fat man. Looking at their backs going away, Jiang Cheng became more and more worried.
Finally, at the last moment when the light outside was about to disappear, Jiang Cheng gently opened the door, "I'll follow and have a look, you wait for my news."
Li Bai took a step forward, "I'll go with you."
"No, it's more convenient for me to be alone." Jiang Cheng gently pushed Li Bai back to the door, gave her a reassuring look, then closed the door, and followed her lightly along the corridor.
Jiang Cheng's attention was all focused on the erratic lantern in the darkness at the front, so he ignored the long string of white paper lanterns hanging on the side of the promenade eaves nearby. The firelight in the paper lanterns seemed to be suppressed and became weaker and weaker.
What's even weirder is that the two are not completely unified, but after a second or two in Jiangcheng, it becomes like this, as if there is an invisible thing behind him, following him closely.
Fatty and the others naturally didn't know that Jiang Cheng was following behind, especially Fatty, who became more and more frightened as he walked. It was too quiet in the Hou Mansion after nightfall, and the surroundings seemed to be dead, only their footsteps could be heard Voice.
It is indeed as everyone said, the road in this yard is too winding, and I didn't pay much attention when I came here. Now, it seems that it is complicated to death. He feels that he has walked a long way, but the result is still the same corridor, the first floor There is a layer, like a maze, if a thief breaks in, I'm afraid it will wander around until dawn.
According to the order of the roll call, Fatty walked first, followed by Yao Shunyu, then Lu Qin, and finally Shao Tong who was in a mental state.
Fatty is still very satisfied with this Queen Shaotong, after all, this person seems to have two brushes, maybe he is a hidden elder.
Jiang Cheng had told him before that, in fact, he was not afraid of being the first person on such a night road, but he was afraid of being the last one. After all, he couldn't tell when he would turn around and the last person would disappear.
"It's so quiet."
The fat man just sighed, but in the next second, a hand was suddenly placed on the fat man's shoulder, and the hand was still trembling slightly.
The fat man didn't dare to move immediately, and then he turned his head slowly, facing Yao Shunyu's tense face, his face was ugly, and his eyes were full of tension, Yao Shunyu moved away slightly, and the fat man swept back After a glance, the next second, the hairs stood on end, and there was nothing behind them. Lu Qin and Shao Tong were both gone.
This is a mission requirement to go to Lord Hou, and it was discussed early in the morning, so it is unlikely that the two slipped away because of fear, and something must have happened.
But what circumstances could make both of them disappear?
Yao Shunyu pushed the fat man and signaled him to continue walking. The light of the lantern in front was still flickering. The girl's hand holding the lantern was steady, as was her footsteps, but after watching for a long time, she actually felt stiff.
Cold sweat broke out on Yao Shunyu's forehead, and the fat man suspected that Yao Shunyu had already noticed something was wrong, but because he was concerned about himself, he didn't take any rash action.
"It's not right." Yao Shunyu compared his lips to the fat man, and his voice was extremely small: "The road she led is wrong. It is impossible for us to have not walked out of the courtyard for so long. It is impossible for this other courtyard to be so big. I count the steps." Count, this is enough for us to walk out of the Hou Mansion."
The fat man immediately thumped~www.mtlnovel.com~ He also sensed that something was wrong, "Is she leading us around?" The fat man gestured with his eyes, the girl in front was 5 meters away from them, but her figure became more and more awkward .
"No, it's not going around in circles." Yao Shunyu's complexion became more and more grim.
Later, the fat man also took a deep breath. He thought he understood Yao Shunyu's concerns. The maid in front didn't go around in circles, so where did they go? The extra journey was enough for them to get out of the Hou's mansion, so... Where exactly are they now, near here... and where exactly?
Suddenly, Shao Tong's disgusting face and the words he said came to the fat man's mind: since the blood of dead children was splashed on the road we came here, then in this yard... a few It's not too much to be a stranger.
Could it be that they were bewitched by ghosts?
Someone planted a life pile in this other courtyard?
"She is leading us towards the opposite direction of the courtyard gate." Yao Shunyu lowered his voice, clenching his pale teeth together.
