Chapter Six: Sleeping in an Deserted House

The journey from Fushun to Guangzhou is more than a thousand kilometers, and it takes ten hours by train.

According to Dashu's traffic conditions, even if the mountain is not high, the water is not dangerous, and the horse is fast and whipped, it will still take more than ten days; If something happens, if there is a slight delay, it will probably take half a month to arrive.

This is why Shuangxie and others received the news on January 25th and hurriedly embarked on their journey the next day.

As for the few of them, after "rescuing" Tyrell, the six of them became seven, and they traveled for three more days.

The past three days went relatively smoothly. The seven people crossed the Yangtze River in the afternoon of the second day, and left Shu and entered Guizhou on the third day.

During this period, the seven people did not encounter any accidents, and Tyrell's Chinese has also made great progress in the past few days.

In fact, Tyrell is a very smart person with a strong learning ability. Before meeting Shuangxi, no one had ever really taught him Chinese, and few people had even tried to teach him Chinese. Communication, even so, he still learned a lot of words by relying on his own guessing and reasoning; now that someone is willing to teach him well and talk to him in broken English, then his Chinese level has improved by leaps and bounds.

It is no exaggeration to say that in just these three days, Tyrell's Chinese level has been higher than that of Sun and Huang. However, since learning Chinese is much more difficult than English, So he can't yet speak sentences "fluently and correctly."

By the fourth day, the seven people had reached the border between Guizhou and Xiangxi. To use a concept that is very common in martial arts novels, they have reached the "Miao border".

This place... in a word - the territory of the Five Spirit Sect.

I don’t know if you still remember, but we mentioned it in our previous article: Fourteen years ago, Gu Qizong, the head of Tianqi Gang, led the thirteen sects to break through the main altar of Wuling Sect. Here, At the end of the battle, the Wuling Sect's main altar was burned to the ground by fire and buried by the collapsed mountain. Gu Qizong and the leader of the Demon Sect, Yi Shixiong, also died in the fire.

However, this battle did not completely destroy the Five Spirit Sect.

Today, fourteen years later, the Five Spirit Sect has already completed its reconstruction and has even become more powerful than it was then.

Just like back then, their current main altar is also called "Zhenling Mountain" - this is their rule. Whichever mountain the main altar is located on is called "Zhenling Mountain"; of course, The exact location of the main altar and the methods of entry and exit are kept secret from the outside world.

In addition, the Wuling Sect has countless branches all over the Miao border, all disguised as various businesses or facilities. Its members are also scattered everywhere to mingle with the local people.

You have to ask how much their sphere of influence covers and how many manpower they have in the Miao border area... It's really hard to say.

Anyway, the so-called "righteous people" in the Central Plains Wulin are generally reluctant to set foot here. If they insist on coming, they can only find more people and more time.A few thoughtful people, and they left quickly after finishing their work.

Otherwise, every extra day they stay will increase the risk of "evaporating from the world".

Huang Donglai and the others naturally understand the above-mentioned situations. However, if you go from Fushun to Guangzhou, you must pass through this area. If you want to avoid this place and take a long way, the circle will be too big... It might take two months to arrive, and by then the new faucet will have been selected.

Considering that they were just passing through without stopping, the journey would only take two or three days at most, so they came here anyway.

That evening, seven people rode horses and arrived at a place called "Yandeng Slope".

Here, it can be said that the mountain roads are rugged, the woods are vast, and there is no "official road". There is no such thing as "big roads and small roads". In short, you just have to know the direction and walk slowly.

Everyone was walking like this... walking... and it was completely dark before they knew it.

When traveling in such an unofficial place, they must have been prepared to spend the night in the wilderness, so soon after the moon came out, they decided to find a suitable place to tie their horses for the night.

At this moment, Jiang Muchan suddenly discovered something...

"Hey, brothers, is there an inn in front of you?"

When Jiang Muchan shouted this, everyone else also looked in the direction he pointed.

Not to mention, when I looked there, I saw the outline of a group of wooden houses on the roadside, and the house looked quite small. It might indeed be an inn.

How about... this snitch also has the advantage of a snitch. As a person who often moves at night, this little Jiang can see things clearly at night than others.

"It seems so." Qin Feng took a look at the awning and said, "Huh? But if it is an inn, there should be a lantern in front of the door at night, right?"

After he finished his oral pleasure, he led the horse forward and took the lead.

The other six people didn’t say anything more. After all, everyone had traveled all day and was very tired. Whether this house was an inn or someone else’s home, it was a house with a roof and walls. , a place where you can spend the night, even if you spend a little money to ask people to let them in and spend the night.

In this way, the seven people quickly walked along the mountain road to the vicinity of the big house.

But after getting closer, everyone realized that something was wrong... The door of the room was not closed, and the two door panels were almost straight open inward.

Is it possible that such a big house could be an abandoned and empty house?

Just as they were thinking this, something even more bizarre happened.It happened - when their horses walked about ten meters in front of the house, they suddenly became a little restless. When they got closer to five meters, the horses began to turn around, lift their hooves, and neigh in defiance.

At the same time, Huang Donglai, who was walking in the front, also stopped and stared at the room with a solemn expression.

"Brother Huang? What's going on?" Sun Yixie knew Huang Donglai very well. When he saw the change in the latter's face, he knew something was wrong, so he immediately came up and asked.

"Hmm..." Huang Donglai pondered, and replied something that made everyone except Tyrell feel numb, "This room... is so dark."

"What?" As soon as Sun Yixie heard the word "Yin Qi", he took a big step back and added half a sentence, "Could it be..."

" Don't panic." Huang Donglai answered, "Let's go in and take a look." "'We'?" Sun Yixie repeated the keyword loudly and said, "Is this necessary? Why don't you go in and take a look? We'll cover you from behind."

Huang Donglai was happy when he heard this: "Brother Sun, are you in trouble again?"

Sun Yixie was instantly seen through and could only say harshly: "Mao! What trouble am I in? I was worried that they would be in trouble, so I decided to stay outside with them." As he spoke, He pointed at the people behind him with his finger.

Hearing this, Huang Donglai looked at the other five people.

At this moment, Lin Yuancheng was explaining Huang Donglai's "Tao skills" to Tyrell with words and gestures. Tyrell listened very seriously, and his expression changed.

Jiang Muchan looked very calm. He who often walked at night was obviously very courageous.

Qin Feng's thoughts are relatively conservative, and there is a slight fear on his face, but it is not too obvious.

Only Linghu Xiang’s reaction was more exaggerated than Brother Sun’s. After hearing the words “heavy yin energy”, his face turned pale with fright.

"No... Even if Linghuxiang is in a bit of trouble, there are others accompanying him. Since Brother Sun, you are not in trouble, then you can go in with me." Huang Donglai glanced at it and then Said to Sun Yixie.

But Sun Yixie replied loudly and confidently: "What a heck! Brother's difficulties are my difficulties! Can't you?"

"Okay, forget it. Come on." When Huang Donglai saw Sun Yixie's state, he secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that the joke was over, and then turned around with satisfaction and ran into the room.

When he went in, he only had a fire certificate in his hand.

Not long after he stayed in the house, he turned back, put out the fire stick and threw it away, and said, "There is no one in the house."

Sun Yixie didn't care at all. Without relaxing, he immediately asked: "Is there anything other than people?"

"Maybe there are some insects or something. They are found in most places with heavy Yin energy." Huang Dong replied.

"Huh?" Sun Yixi said, "Then why?"Why is this house so dark? Is this some kind of fairy cave? "

"How do I know? " Huang Donglai said, "Maybe a lot of people died here before... Anyway, there is nothing left now, no ghosts or monsters, no furniture or anything, just four walls, not even a window opened. "

"Hmm..." Sun Yixie thought for a while, "Could this be some kind of trap? For example, after we enter, the door will automatically close, and then the goblin will come to catch turtles in the jar. "

"Thinking too much. "Huang Donglai denied his speculation, "If there was such an arrangement, I would have noticed it a long time ago. Besides... what door can stop your 'door-thumping divine fist'? He paused and said, "In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with this house except for the yin energy. Let's just tie the horses farther away and go in to sleep." "

"Real or false? Sun Yixie was still a little scared, "Why don't I believe it?" Wait..." At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became nervous, "Who are you? How can I be sure that you are the real Huang Donglai? Maybe you just walked around the house and were transferred? "

"Huh..." Huang Donglai laughed at that time, "I can write the word "share" for shareholders. Can this prove that I am real? "

Among the people present, only he and Sun Yixie understood what he said.

I think back when they were still in the "original world", they went back to the bank one day When doing business, Brother Sun was despised by the staff because he could not write the word "share" for shareholders. Since then, this matter has been regarded as a joke, and people around Brother Sun have used it to ridicule him from time to time.

Now that he heard Huang Donglai mention this matter in a subtle way, Sun Yixie knew that the other person was definitely him: "What a chicken! So annoying! I just don’t want to sleep in there anyway! "As he said that, he turned to Linghu Xiang and said, "Linghu, I don't think you really want to go in. Why don't you come with me to 'look out' for them tonight? ”

Sun Yixie’s method of pulling people into trouble worked, because Linghuxiang was really timid, so he agreed.

So, that night, Sun Yixie Linghuxiang and the seven horses slept under some big trees ten meters away from the house, while Huang Donglai, Lin Yuancheng, Jiang Muchan, Qin Feng and Tyrell slept in the empty room.

In the first half of the night, a few of the seven people were not sleeping very soundly, but because they were really tired from the continuous rush, by the second half of the night, they were all fast asleep.

At the darkest moment before dawn, there was suddenly a burst of "photography" on the nearby mountain road. The sound of "soul bell".
