Nightmare Apostle

"Hahaha..." Xiang Fengchen laughed loudly, and at the same time stretched out his hand, reaching for Yang Xiao's shoulder from behind, but Yang Xiao, who was well prepared, dodged it sideways, stood up and stepped back, keeping a distance from this person, waiting for the director's order.

Seeing this, Xiang Fengchen smiled even more, "Boy, relax, I'm really happy to meet you, don't worry, I will protect you."

"You protect me?" Yang Xiao has shown considerable restraint towards this director's mortal enemy, after all, Director Nalan has not yet expressed his position.

"Of course." Xiang Fengchen smiled easily, "I have to thank you, otherwise, based on my good relationship with your Director Nalan, he would kill me the moment we met. Compared to living, he would rather die with me."

After a pause, Xiang Fengchen slowly exhaled, "But with you here, the situation is different. If the two of us died, I'm not bragging, just based on you young people, this mission is over, your Director Nalan is reluctant to let you die, so he won't turn against me, he still hopes to cooperate with me to help you survive."

"So... you are my amulet, do you think I should thank you?" Xiang Fengchen arched his hands to Yang Xiao and laughed.

Yang Xiao was not angry, and laughed along, "Then you have to take good care of me and the director. If the director has any problems, I will be the first to kill you."

"Just you?" Xiang Fengchen pretended to be strange, "Can you kill me?"

"I am not good enough, but the people of Fushou Village can. I will say that you secretly cursed the ancestors by celebrating the birthday."

"They believe you, do you think they are pigs?" Xiang Fengchen's attitude turned cold.

"Whether they believe it or not, I will leave after I finish speaking, and I will come back to find you and kill myself. When they find me dead in your room, do you think they will believe it?" Yang Xiao imitated Xiang Fengchen's previous smile. He was really not afraid of anyone when it came to fighting.

Staring at Yang Xiao's face, Xiang Fengchen slowly restrained the smile on his face. This move was not ruthless. If it was someone else, he might not believe it, but if it was Nalan Shuo's men, he would have to think about it carefully.

"Okay, good boy, you are as interesting as your director when he was young." Xiang Fengchen took a deep breath and turned to look at Nalan Shuo, "You are better than me in choosing your subordinates, but I am curious, where did you recruit such a thing?"

"It has nothing to do with you. If he has any problems, I will kill you." Nalan Shuo's tone was flat and cold, but every word made Xiang Fengchen confirm that he was not joking.

"I can do my best to protect him, but the premise is that he can't kill himself." Xiang Fengchen finally compromised, after all, the ultimate goal is to survive.

"It's his business if he kills himself, I can't control it, but if he dies, I will find you." Nalan Shuo stretched out a finger, tapped Xiang Fengchen's nose in the air, and said expressionlessly.

"Aren't you going to be a rogue?" Xiang Fengchen was stunned.

"If the director has any problems, I will report you to the owner of the manor, and then find you to die." Yang Xiao also stretched out a finger and imitated the director to tap Xiang Fengchen.

Xiang Fengchen had no way to deal with these two scoundrels, one old and one young. He knew Nalan Shuo's methods. If he wanted to survive in such a difficult mission, he needed Nalan Shuo's cooperation. Before coming in, he also used his own methods to inquire about this mission and knew how difficult it was.

"Okay, I won't argue with you. That's a deal. The three of us are now on the same boat. If there are any accounts or grudges, let's go out and settle them." Xiang Fengchen sneered, raised his legs, sat cross-legged on the bed, turned his head and looked at Yang Xiao, "Boy, let me test you. Do you know why I mentioned the guide maid to Wu Guanshi?"

"You are testing." Yang Xiao replied: "You deliberately revealed that you can chat with the maid to arouse Wu Guanshi's suspicion and test their reaction. It's like trying it out first to startle the snake."

"That's right, but you also saw that Wu The manager's reaction was a bit strange. "Xiang Fengchen recalled, "I have been thinking about one thing, whether the people in Fushou Village knew that we were missing. If they knew, the problem could be dealt with. If they really didn't know, that would be a big problem. But from the attitude of Manager Wu, I think they should know."

"The problem lies with that old ancestor." Nalan Shuo suddenly spoke up, "The rules for celebrating birthdays tonight are very strange. It's not three bows, but four Fushou candles, a total of four bows. This is not the rule for celebrating birthdays, but more like...

》"

"Sacrifice." Xiang Fengchen smiled.

"Yes, this is the rule for sacrifice, and the rules are very high. It's not an ordinary wealthy family. The host family has a very high status, at least... he is also a prince." Nalan Shuo analyzed.

"Is it too much to give the old ancestor a princely gift to celebrate his birthday?" Yang Xiao knew that in certain special occasions, such as weddings, funerals, sacrificial ceremonies and birthday banquets, the specifications can be skipped and it is not considered too much, which is commonly known as a grand gift that can win. However, judging from the pomp tonight, it is still too much, which is not a good thing for the old man who is celebrating his birthday.

"Let's not talk about whether it is too much or not. Just say that this kind of birthday gift is not something that ordinary people can bear. This old ancestor either has a very good fate or..." Xiang Fengchen's face turned cold, "He is not a human at all."

Suddenly, Yang Xiao thought of what the owner of the manor had repeatedly emphasized, that there might be evil spirits attracted by the birthday banquet, and he immediately had an ominous premonition, "Could there really be evil spirits taking advantage of the birthday gift to seize the old ancestor's luck? Is it... is it taking over the body?"

"If that's the case, it's easy to say. I'm afraid that this family knew this and did it. Under the guise of celebrating the longevity of their ancestor, they are trying to save someone from evil." Nalan Shuo said slowly, "Let us Play as generals, palace ladies, eunuchs, scholars, wealthy businessmen, and other characters to "bring luck" to this thing. This thing is not an ordinary evil. "

Recalling the strange things along the way, Yang Xiao recalled the scene he encountered outside the ruined temple. When he turned around and saw the police, he was hit. At that time, it was Jiang Qingluan who slapped him awake. At that time, he vaguely saw the ruined temple. The statues in the statue all came to life one after another, leaning forward as if they wanted to chase them out, or...:...just had something to say.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in Yang Xiao's mind. In his memory, the clothes on those statues were 70-80% similar to those of them, and the number of statues seemed to be close to their number.

But after Yang Xiao said this, Director Nalan and Xiang Fengchen did not react as much as he expected, "Before you came, we had already checked those statues and found no problems. Their clothes were also very... Ordinary, completely different from what we have." Nalan Shuo told him with certainty.

But since someone brought it up, the two planned to ask Fang Zhou, who had also been tricked tomorrow, but it really didn't work.

I looked for an opportunity to go back to that ruined temple and take a look.

The mission has just begun, there are too few clues, and there is no result if you continue to think about it. After leaving Yang Xiao to watch the night, Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen took a rest respectively. However, before that, Xiang Fengchen called Yang Xiao and pointed to the door in the foyer outside. Those chairs, "small Son, don't sit on these chairs at night. You can take this potted flower off the floor and place it on the chair facing the door. There is a bronze mirror behind the hall. Take it off and hang it outside our bedroom door. Remember, the mirror Facing the pot of flowers, do you understand?"

"Do as he says."

It wasn't until Nalan Shuo opened his mouth that Yang Xiao took out a pot of unknown flowers from the wall. The branches and leaves were thin and small, but the flowers bloomed well. They were pink and had a large flower hanging down. He followed Xiang Fengchen's words and put the flowers It should be placed directly opposite the door. On the chair, he took off the bronze mirror with some flowers on it and hung it outside the door. The mirror was facing the pot of flowers. After staring at him, Xiang Fengchen fell asleep. Nalan Shuo reminded Yang Xiao After two sentences, I took the time to rest.

The work of keeping vigil is boring, but this time is different. This time Yang Xiao has trusted Director Nalan by his side.

Yang Xiao admired Nalan Shuo from the bottom of his heart, no matter what he did or did. He was lucky to meet such a leader.

Time passed by. Yang Xiao was sitting on the bed closest to the door in the bedroom. He looked at the chairs outside the door and the potted flowers placed on the chairs. He looked awkward. Just when he was hesitating to When he closed the bedroom door a little further, he suddenly heard a discordant sound coming from the courtyard, like...

Yang Xiao listened carefully, like the sound of water.

There is no river nearby, only a well.

Soon, the sound of water disappeared, replaced by a slight but uncomfortable crunching sound, like the sound of an old rope being pulled.

The sound of water and the sound of the rope being pulled connected these together, and a terrifying picture suddenly occupied Yang Xiao's mind. It was the well in the courtyard. Something came out of the well and was climbing up the old rope. !

Although he was frightened, he was not out of control. Yang Xiao immediately woke up Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen. The three of them all heard the sound of the well rope. Soon, the creaking sound of the rope disappeared, and there was a louder sound in the courtyard. Disturbing footsteps.

"Crack."

"Crack."

Yang Xiao held his breath. Just from the sound of footsteps, he could imagine that this was a guy whose whole body was soaked in water and was wet.

It's a ghost. He doesn't know its origin. Maybe it's the dead "Yuan Ruoqi". He thought about taking a look through the crack in the door, but seeing that Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen didn't move, he didn't dare to claim it without authorization. Fortunately, the footsteps were not The one who came for them, judging from the sound, went to the house in the middle, which was the house of the three women, Jiang Qingluan, Chang Chuchu.

Not long after, the footsteps suddenly disappeared. Based on the direction of the last footsteps, Yang Xiao judged that the ghost had probably arrived outside the door of the three women.

The house is facing the courtyard gate. If the feng shui is not good, it may attract the door-rushing ghost, but this ghost climbed out of the well.

Just as Yang Xiao was thinking, suddenly, footsteps moved again, and this time, they were coming towards them. But on the other hand, Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen did not panic at all. Nalan Shuo gave Yang Xiao a reassuring look, and at the same time He glanced outside the door.

Xiang Fengchen raised his chin towards the door, and Nalan Shuo nodded slightly in response. Yang Xiao guessed that it was the decoration in the foyer that made the two of them feel safe.

But a pot of flowers and a mirror can stop this ghost?

Not long after, footsteps finally came outside the door. At this moment, Yang Xiao subconsciously held his breath and looked through the wall in the direction of the door.

Time passed by, and suddenly, he seemed to catch something with his peripheral vision. As he turned his head, the scene in the foyer suddenly made him open his eyes wide. He saw that the pot of flowers placed on the chair suddenly moved.

The originally dejected pink flower seemed to be controlled by some kind of force. It slowly raised its head and slowly rotated towards the bedroom door at a strange angle. For a moment, Yang Xiao suddenly felt It's not a flower, it's... it's an eye!

Ghost eyes!

The ghost outside the door is using this flower to find someone!

A hand gently held Yang Xiao's left shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw Director Nalan gently nodded to him. Yang Xiao's tense heartstrings finally slowly loosened, and as the flower rotated a little bit, it finally He was "looking" in the direction of the bedroom, but the next second, the flower suddenly died, and the flower hung directly down. At the same time,

There were footsteps outside the door.

"Crack."

"Crack."

The footsteps were getting farther and farther away. This time, they were in the completely opposite direction. Not long after, there was a sudden "thud".

The thing fell into the well.

But Yang Xiao still didn't dare to be careless at this moment, until Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen slowly stood up, "Leaving?" Yang Xiao asked in a low voice.

"Let's go." Xiang Fengchen seemed to have expected it and breathed a sigh of relief, "I knew this courtyard was evil, but I didn't expect it to be so evil. There are weird things in that well, so avoid it from now on."

Nalan Shuo stood up and looked back. His sight seemed to penetrate the window and look in another direction, which was the room of three women.

"This group of young people is not bad. It seems that some of them are knowledgeable. However, they are not ruthless. They can only persuade them to retreat, but they cannot scare them away." Xiang Fengchen yawned, looked at Nalan Shuo, and commented.

"It should be that Jiang Qingluan, he has some skills." Nalan Shuo nodded lightly.

"Don't worry, that thing won't come back tonight." Xiang Fengchen patted Yang Xiao on the shoulder and asked him to go to sleep, leaving him to keep watch.

"You are a thief. You know that nothing will happen tonight, so you can be lazy during the vigil." Nalan Shuo glanced at Xiang Fengchen and exposed it immediately.

"What's so special about this?" Yang Xiao looked at the flower in the pot and saw the scene where the flowers were turning.

It left a deep impression on him. At that time, the flowers were hidden in the shadows and slowly turning. The scene was really scary.

"This place is blocked from the front and back. The Feng Shui is trapped and life is cut off, so it is impossible for flowers to bloom. I don't believe it. If you pull out the whole flower after dawn, the roots below will definitely be rotten." Xiang Fengchen said slowly. , "This flower has died a long time ago, but it bloomed again. This is a problem. This kind of flower is called Yin Beauty, and insiders call it 'Ghost Beads'. This thing is very sensitive to Yang Qi, and those ghosts Things can use this flower to find living people. "
