ghost

The news Geng Shudan got from the Geng family was not certain. What he had to do was to verify it. He thought it would take some time, but he didn't want Fang Xia to help him confirm the authenticity of the news.

"Zou Wumang came here to find the so-called treasure?" Geng Shudan asked casually.

"That's right." Fang Xia put a small bowl full of tofu soup in front of her, stirred it with a small spoon, raised her eyes to look at Geng Shudan on the opposite side, and smiled triumphantly, "Besides, I also know that they are What exactly is the treasure you found?"

Geng Shudan showed a surprised expression.

Recently, various sects have searched for treasures in various places. Even though the control did not publicize it, there is still a lot of movement. The family has already got the news.However, no one in the aristocratic family has obtained relevant information on what treasure they are looking for.

"What treasure are they looking for?" Geng Shudan asked.

"The sacrificial stone." Fang Xia replied, "According to Fu Jin's speculation, the sacrificial stone is likely to be on the top floor of the octagonal wooden pagoda in Xushui Town."

"...You really know a lot." Geng Shudan didn't know what expression to put on.

"Fu Jin and I have decided to go to the octagonal wooden pagoda tonight to confirm whether there are really sacrificial stones on it. Do you want to come together?" Fang Xia sent out an invitation.

Geng Shudan accepted Fang Xia's invitation.

What is the real body of the treasure is also what the family is eager to know.Knowing the real body of the treasure, one may be able to deduce the sect—or rather, the forces behind the manipulation of the sect, and what they want to achieve.

A little after one o'clock in the morning, Fang Xia looked down from the stairs furtively, and saw the proprietress of the hotel lying on the front desk dozing off, she turned her head and gestured to Fu Jin who was following behind her, then tiptoed around with her shoes Go down the stairs.

Fu Jin followed and landed silently.Geng Shudan fell to the last, this kind of behavior as if he was a thief made him feel awkward, he was not proficient at this kind of sneaky thing.It's just that in this kind of small town, as a foreigner, it would be strange to run out at this point. In order to avoid being interrogated, this is the only way to do it.

Geng Shudan stepped on the wooden stairs lightly and walked down a few steps. Fang Xia, who was walking at the front, had already descended the stairs.He glanced vigilantly at the sleeping proprietress at the front desk, and then, like a cat, he walked through the lobby and quickly rushed to the door of the hotel, like a well-qualified thief.Fu Jin followed Fang Xia unhurriedly, as if taking a stroll in a garden, calm and relaxed.

For the same incident of sneaking away, the two of them have developed very different personal styles.One is vulgar and the other is elegant, which should be clearly opposed, but they are inexplicably harmonious.

"Hurry up!" Fang Xia poked his head at the door of the hotel, waved to Geng Shudan who was standing dazed on the stairs, and shouted silently with his mouth.

When Geng Shudan came out of the hotel lightly, Fang Xia had already put on his shoes, and leaned against Fu Jin as if he had no bones.

"Cough!" Geng Shudan coughed lightly.

"Fu Jin is cool." Fang Xia stood up straight and said to Geng Shudan with a smile.

"The wind is so cold, where is it hot?" Geng Shudan asked back.

"I'm young and full of energy!"

"..." Geng Shudan closed his mouth, not wanting to answer these words.

The two exchanged a few words in a low voice, without wasting any more time, they took the shortest path and walked towards the square where the octagonal wooden tower was located.

Fang Xia and Fu Jin walked in front side by side, Fang Xia talked to Fu Jin, and Fu Jin occasionally replied.Geng Shudan was half a step behind, looking at the two who were obviously in a state of love, he was entangled in his heart-should he find a time to talk to Fang Xia?

After walking through three streets, the octagonal wooden tower was not far away, Fang Xia stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Geng Shudan asked out loud.

Fang Xia took out a piece of rune paper folded in half from his pocket, opened it, and saw that the rune ink on it had faded, "Someone has entered the wooden tower."

This piece of talisman paper is the auxiliary talisman of the alert talisman he stuffed in the crack of the wooden tower door, and now the ink on it is blurred, indicating that the wooden tower door has been opened.

After Fang Xia finished speaking, he threw away the discarded auxiliary talisman and ran towards the octagonal wooden tower. Fu Jin followed closely behind, and Geng Shudan hurriedly followed.

In less than 10 minutes, the three arrived at the square and ran to the tower.

Fang Xia jumped up the stone steps in two or three steps, and ran to the front of the wooden pagoda. Seeing that the chains on it were intact, he quickly walked around to the back door.At the back door of the wooden tower, the original rusty chain lock had been untied and thrown on the ground. The two wooden doors were partially hidden, and they opened with a creak when they stretched out their hands and pushed.Then the moonlight, looking down, can see a series of footprints on the dusty ground, obviously just stepped on it not long ago.

Sure enough, someone entered the tower!

Fang Xia raised his foot subconsciously and wanted to go in to find the person who entered the tower, but just as one foot stepped over the threshold, he suddenly thought of something, and quickly put his foot back.

Fang Xia turned around and saw Fu Jin standing behind him.

Fu Jin looked at him quietly, Fang Xia looked back innocently.

After looking at each other, Fu Jin took a step forward, and Fang Xia said, "I'll go up to see the situation, you wait below."

"No problem!" Fang Xia nodded cleanly, "Call me if you have something to do, and I will give you support right away."

Fu Jin touched the corner of Fang Xia's mouth, glanced at Geng Shudan who was running over from the corner of his eye, lowered his head and kissed Fang Xia's lips lightly, then turned and stepped into the wooden tower.

"Fu Jin goes up to see the situation, we'll wait here first." After watching Fu Jin enter the tower, Fang Xia turned to Geng Shudan and said, "This tower is old and the wooden stairs inside are rotten, let's go up Not safe."

"When did you become so calm?" Geng Shudan asked with a smile.

"I've always been so calm." Fang Xiagui replied shamelessly.

Probably choked by Fang Xia's thick skin, Geng Shudan looked at the dark inside of the tower and didn't answer any more.Fang Xia walked to the edge of the steps directly opposite the gate, leaned against the painted beams and pillars on the outside of the first floor of the wooden tower, and looked at the gate of the wooden tower quietly.

There was silence between the two.

The silence lasted for a few minutes, and Geng Shudan looked back at Fang Xia: "Fang Xia, I want to ask you something."

"What?" Fang Xia looked up at him.

"Are you and Fu Jin...are you together?" Before Fu Jin left, the kiss that Fu Jin placed on Fang Xia's lips was obviously proclaiming their relationship to him, but he still wanted to marry Fang Xia. Confirm again here.

"Yes!" Fang Xia admitted frankly.

"Do you know that he is a ghost?" Geng Shudan frowned, with obvious disapproval in his eyes.

"I know." Fang Xia picked her ear with her little finger, "I knew it from the night I first met Fu Jin. The old lady Geng told me in great detail."

"Humans and ghosts have different paths, I told you, have you forgotten?" Geng Shudan's brows were furrowed even tighter, "When a human and a ghost fall in love, no one will end well."

"Then Fu Jin and I will be the first couple!" Fang Xia smiled nonchalantly.

"Fang Xia!"

"Why didn't those people end well? It wasn't because they changed their minds halfway through." Fang Xia put away the smile on his face, showing a rare stern expression, "I'm a person who is stubborn about relationships, and I'm determined to go all the way to the dark Yes. Of course, you can think that I am talking big. If I, like those people, changed my mind midway, imagine the end of Fu Jin swallowing my three souls and seven souls, I think I can accept it."

Geng Shudan looked at the expression in Fang Xia's eyes through the moonlight, and he knew that no matter how much he said, it would be unnecessary.Fang Xia was more determined than he imagined, or it should be said that he was determined. He knew exactly what would happen if he betrayed Li Gui.He was well prepared in case Fu Jin swallowed his three souls and seven souls, and he had no intention of retreating.This posture of breaking through the south wall and not intending to turn back, no matter how much others say, it will not have the slightest effect.

"Just think it through." Geng Shudan sighed.

"Huh? You don't want to persuade me anymore?" Fang Xia blinked and asked.

"Can I persuade you?" Geng Shudan glared at him angrily.

"I can't persuade you."

"Then I'm still trying to persuade you!"

"Are you swearing?!" Fang Xia looked at Geng Shudan in surprise, this was the first time he heard Geng Shudan swear.

"I'm angry with you!"

Geng Shudan let out a long breath, calmed down his emotions, and was about to say something, when suddenly there was a sound of planks breaking inside the tower, accompanied by a series of rolling sounds.

Immediately after the heavy object fell to the ground, someone groaned in pain, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps approaching the door. After a while, Fang Xia and Geng Shudan, who were standing at the door, saw a figure rushing out from inside.

Geng Shudan stepped forward to stop him, but was knocked away by the man. Fang Xia reacted very quickly, followed closely, and shoveled towards the man's feet unceremoniously.

The man's ankle was kicked, his body lost his balance, and he fell forward, but he didn't react slowly, and quickly used his hands to support the ground.Fang Xia didn't give him a chance to get up. After a slide, he quickly turned over, grabbed the clothes on the man's back with one hand, and put one knee on the man's back.Fang Xia put his knee on the back of the waist, and the lower body of the man was directly attached to the ground.The man supported his upper body with both hands, but he didn't want Fang Xia to press his back with one hand and grab his wrist with the other to cut back. Naturally, the strength of one hand couldn't support the weight of Fang Xia's whole body on him. Reluctantly, he was pressed face down to the ground.

The two fought against each other very quickly, Geng Shudan was knocked away, he took a few steps back to stabilize his figure, and after a closer look, Fang Xia had already pinned the person who bumped him to the ground

"Help me find out, who is this guy?" Fang Xia shouted at Geng Shudan.

Geng Shudan: "..." You greeted the person without seeing clearly?

"It's Zou Wumang." Fu Jin, who came out of the tower, gave Fang Xia the answer.

Geng Shudan walked over and took a look by the moonlight, it was indeed Zou Wumang.

But Fu Jin didn't give Zou Wumang a look. He saw Fang Xia kneeling on Zou Wumang's back, frowned slightly, and stepped forward to pull Fang Xia up.

"Oh! Wait a minute, don't touch me!" Fang Xia bared his teeth and yelled.

Fu Jin paused and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fang Xia turned her head to look at Fu Jin, with a distorted expression on her face: "My waist...my waist seems to be twisted..."

The author has something to say:

Fu Jin: Don't lie on other men's backs.

Fang Xia: I need to fight...

Fu Jin: I will come later.
