Chapter 21 The Haunted House

As the capital of the world, Luojing Prefecture governs all public security areas east of Cognac, south of Tongchuan, and west of Weinan.

Since the beginning of the first year of Taihao, after the emperor took Hui Taigong's reform law and formulated counties as basic administrative units, Luojing Prefecture even led 362,921 households, 1961,188 households, and 23 towns including Wannian.

Fengxiang County, west of Cognac and north of the Qinling Mountains, was located. In the second year of Taiho, the coordinated regional planning was changed to Fengxiang County, and was named Jingxi Barrier. In the second year of Taiho, it was once renamed Wangwei County.

Fengxiang County is under the jurisdiction of Tianxing, Fufeng, Lingzhi, Shangyang, Qishan, Mei, Linyou, Pu, Guo and other towns.

The jurisdiction is about the area east of Lingzhi, Linyou, west of Mei County, north of Baishan, and south of Xiaochuan.

Among them, Fufeng is the most important transportation route between Fengxiang County and Luoyi... Due to the trade, Fufeng, which was originally barren, became the first city in Fengxiang.

This is where Xie Yu is currently.

......

It has been three days since he left Qingtian's "nest" and it was actually very troublesome at first. He didn't know where he was or where he was, and he had to guard against the other party's pursuit. Fortunately, he quickly found an official road. Although he didn't know where he was, he was always right to go.

Fortunately, a caravan walked past this path not long after leaving.

Xie Yu stopped him and asked for directions and learned that this was the main official road for Luoyi to Fengxiang.

The caravan owner saw Xie Yu wearing gorgeous clothes, elegant conversation, dignified etiquette, knowledgeable, and knew that the other party must be a nobleman in the city.

When he saw Xie Yu get lost in the wilderness, he didn't ask about the hidden information in detail and happily invited Xie Yu to go with him.

Xie Yu originally wanted to go back to Luoyi to help soldiers, but then he thought that it would be impossible to return to Luoyi with the energy of the sky, so it would be better to just do the opposite.

After all, according to Xie Yu's speculation, Qingtian had been planning carefully for a long time, and the small kidnapping could only be the preface to the other party's bigger conspiracy.

This is an organization that can make my teacher so concerned about it...so you need to be more cautious.

Xie Yu is not a conspiracy theorist, but he still understands the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

Xie Yu planned to use clues to the blue sky in Fufeng... After all, this is Fengxiang County and Luoyi, and it has an absolute relationship with Luoyi's safety.

The caravan owner claimed that he was a famous merchant in Fengxiang, nicknamed "Golden Toad". This trip was to transport goods to a powerful man in the court.

Xie Yu was not interested in this, after all, the affairs of powerful businessmen were not worthy of his trouble.

Seeing this, the Golden Toad was tactful and shut up.

Now it finally became quiet... This is what Xie Yu thought.

......

It was getting late, and the caravan arrived at a small village to rest, but unfortunately, the rooms in this inn were full.

But the Golden Toad claims to be a famous merchant after all, so there are some explanations for the methods.

In the end, the Golden Toad negotiated with the village chief, and the village arranged for everyone to live in a long abandoned house.

This is a famous haunted house in a small village, which has been abandoned for a long time. The legend of the small village is that the owner of the house has a lot of land.

Although he is a landlord, he is kind to others and is not at all good to the tenants at home. Which elder in the village is sick and has no copper coins to see a doctor, which one has no copper coins to raise, or which young man is a bachelor who wants to match the matchmaker. As long as he brings a basket of specialties to the door, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

The golden toad initially refused, but after disappearing for a while, he agreed.

Xie Yu is a person who doesn’t care whether he is a villain or a villain. After all, he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, and ghosts in heaven do not punish the righteous.

......

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I was hit by a smell of dust mixed with mold. The columns were covered with dense moss, the plaques drooped, swaying with the wind, and the dense spider webs looked a little scary. The thick walls of blue bricks seemed to separate people from the outside world.

"Let's go, it's so cold here." Jin Toad pulled Xie Yu's sleeve angrily.

"Zi Buyu's words are strange and powerful." Xie Yu saw his fear, "Have you ever committed a crime?"

"No... don't talk nonsense." The golden toad was actually a little anxious and moved back a little. "This is not life."

"You are still scared of such a large caravan." Xie Yu was speechless.

"..." The golden toad was speechless. Then he thought that it was right. Even if it was a ghost, a few ghost, dozens of merchants, and more than a dozen martial arts studs, were he afraid that it would not work?

Xie Yu turned around after saying that. He never liked to deal with the lower nine people, especially such philistines. It was a forced person to travel with him today.

Seeing Xie Yu take the lead, the Golden Toad gritted his teeth, looked up at the plaque again, bit his teeth, and called on people to follow him in.

It is said in the village that the master's family has an idol who looks weird and terrifying. He is worshipped by the landlord and stands in the ancestral hall at home.

According to the village, the tragedy that year was inseparable from this idol.

Xie Yu walked all the way to the intermediate courtyard, and wherever he saw it, there were ruins and grimactic and bizarre places.

He stopped in front of a huge sycamore tree.

This sycamore tree is probably the most special existence in this house. The trunk is thick and high, and the leaves are dense and lush, almost covering the sun, and the juice inside the green is almost seeping out. With such strong vitality and the death energy of this house, the golden toad found a place to settle down and lean on it to greet people to set up a tent on the ground.

It seems that the person still dares not live in the house.

"Is it so scary?" Xie Yu walked behind Jin Toad and patted his shoulder gently.

"Don't!" The golden toad felt someone behind him. "Don't kill me!"

"What are you afraid of?" Xie Yu found it interesting.

"I'm scared to death." Golden Toad patted his chest. "Sir, please don't tease me, I'm timid."

"Aren't you a famous businessman?" Xie Yu raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically: "After walking thousands of miles, are you still afraid of evil spirits?"

"You don't understand." Golden Toad sighed, but said nothing.

"Look at the back of you." Xie Yu patted the golden toad and pointed behind me.

The golden toad turned back without any warning...but nothing.

The golden toad was confused, but when he turned back to Xie Yu again, he found that he was missing, and the golden toad began to panic.

One hand slapped the golden toad's shoulder again, and time seemed to be frozen.

"Just scare you just." Hearing Xie Yu's voice, the golden toad's soul was almost lost.

"What are you doing?" he almost shouted at the top of his voice. "If so... I... I will ask Xie Shizi to return."

"Look at you, look, that's the ancestral hall." The golden toad followed the direction Xie Yu pointed, which was behind him, where the tree trunk had just blocked his sight.

Xie Yu's expression also became serious.

"There are people inside..." Xie Yu said.

"Xie Shizi...you!" The golden Toad didn't want to believe Xie Yu anymore, but was afraid that it was true, so hesitated for a moment. "Be serious about this?"

"Damn." Xie Yu did not look at him, but stared at the room. "I'll go and see, you asked someone to stay outside the door. If the situation is wrong, you will listen to my signal to come in."

When the golden toad saw that Xie Yu seemed to be telling the truth, he nodded dullly.

"It's finally here, take some photos and leave. I don't want to stay too late." I suppressed my anger and moved my steps. But his hand on my shoulder was still motionless. I looked at him in confusion. He stared at me tightly, wanting to speak, and I was trembling all over.

Xie Yu also turned around and left.

The golden toad looked at his back and was slightly stunned.

Xie Yu merged with the shadow of the ancestral hall, as if the monster's big mouth was swallowing him.

The golden toad's legs were a little trembling, and he ignored Xie Yu and turned around and called on the bodyguards to work.

...

Xie Yu pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and stirred up a lot of smoke and dust.

A smell of mold and blood came mixed, and Xie Yu frowned.

As soon as he stepped in, the door suddenly closed. Without waiting for Xie Yu to react, one hand hit his neck at some point. Three sharp hard objects pressed against his artery. Xie Yu guessed that it should be a needle.

So fast!
