treacherous world

In a dark night, in a haunted house, suddenly a gloomy wind blows up, and everyone is still studying the things of ghosts and ghosts... A person appeared at the door inexplicably.And the most evil thing is that no one can feel this person's aura, including Tianzun and Yinhou, the two supreme masters in the martial arts world.So, everyone unconsciously thought, if this is not a ghost, what is it?

"Ah ah!"

Just when everyone was astonished, the fourth son suddenly yelled and got into Gongsun's arms.

At the same time, there was a crackling sound, and a thunderbolt came down from the sky, with lightning and thunder.

However, it was the thunder and the flash of lightning that made everyone see a little clue.

Bai Yutang suddenly asked Zhan Zhao, "Do you feel..."

"That's right!" Zhan Zhao nodded, "It's so windy outside, why does that man's hair not move.

"Even if he is a ghost, the light won't pass through in a flash, right?" Yin Hou narrowed his eyes, "I can even see the trees in the yard."

"Hey..." At this time, Pang Yu, who was still at the door, couldn't help but look at the crowd, "Is that a human or a ghost?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at him, "You recently, open the window and take a look quietly?"

"Climbing..." Pang Yu stuttered, "I can't get up."

Only then did everyone realize that Pang Yu was startled just now and sat down on the ground, so he couldn't get up now.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

Everyone's hearts "hula" suddenly raised, and at the same time, the door opened, and someone outside held a candlestick and looked in, "My lord?"

When Zhao Pu and the others took a look, they saw the white and black shadows who were in charge of the night watch on the periphery.The two seemed puzzled, they poked their heads in to have a look, Bai Ying also took out a pocketbook, and looked puzzled at the people in the dark room staring at the gate.

Everyone looked at each other and walked outside.

Zhao Pu let Zhan Zhao look at it first, "Is there any brat?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "Where is there such a brat."

At this moment, Zhe Ying and Zi Ying also came down from the roof, looking at everyone in the room curiously.

"Did you see anyone just now?" Zhao Pu asked, "Or a ghost?"

The corners of the mouths of the three shadow guards twitched, and they shook their heads together, wondering if Zhao Pu was dreaming, or a ghost... Only Ziying hugged Zheying, "What the hell!"

"It seems that the problem lies in the door." Bai Yutang said, walked to the door and checked the paper door.

Sure enough, he found that the paper door had two layers, and it was very finely made. Looking from the outside to the inside, nothing could be seen. with a person.If there is only one person in the room in the middle of the night, looking at this scene, it will be frightening.

Bai Yutang took the dagger and opened the paper door, and pulled out a human-shaped leather from inside.I saw that the skin just cut out a human shape, don't look at it as if it was done by hand, but looking at the shadow with the lamp on, it looks too human.

"It's not easy to cut out such a shape." Gongsun praised.

"Do you think the person who cut this is a shadow puppet performer?" Bao Yan poked Pang Yu.

Pang Yu was holding on to the table and rubbing his legs. The moment just now almost scared him half of his life, and his legs were numb.

"This door is newly replaced." Bai Yutang simply removed the whole paper door.

"Fifth Lord, I just went to find Mr. Pan, who was in business with me, to inquire about it." Bai Fu went to Bai Yutang and said, "Boss Pan bought this house a few years ago. I haven't lived in it all the time. A few years ago, I lived with a friend. Unexpectedly, his friend lived there for less than half a year, and several people died in the house. He also said that the house was haunted, so he moved out. Later, Boss Pan also arranged for some friends occasionally. Living here, some say it’s haunted and some say it’s okay. Boss Pan is not a believer in evil, but he can’t stand his wife’s mind, so he wants to sell the house cheaply. It’s not that he intends to extort money from us. Refund, and said that if the buyer chooses to deal with it, it will be no problem to refund double the money."

"Hey, Boss Pan is still a guy who makes friends." Pang Yu grabbed Bao Yan and managed to get up, beating his knees and scratching his head.

"Has this house been renovated before it is sold?" Gongsun asked.

Bai Fu shook his head, "Probably not. We took over the yard, and when we cleaned it, we found a lot of dust. I asked the guy just now, and he said that no one has lived in it for a long time, and it has been empty."

"Did you ask about the origin of this house?" Zhan Zhao remembered seeing that the plaque on this house said "Cui's Mansion" instead of "Pan's Mansion", so he was a little curious.

"Of course I will ask Mr. Zhan!" Bai Fu said with a smile, "This house was originally an old house, which was handed down by the ancestor Cui."

"Master Cui?" Bai Yutang frowned, "The head of the Cangshan School?"

"Isn't it?" Bai Fushen said mysteriously, "I always feel that there is something wrong here. The Pan's man said that Cui's turnaround was a little tricky back then, and it happened that Boss Pan was worried about other girls, so he borrowed the opportunity to buy a house. , Give some money to my father-in-law."

"This is very strange." Zhao Pu also felt that there was a problem, "It stands to reason that it was passed down by the father-in-law, so it shouldn't be sold easily, and it's so cheap?" Bai Fu nodded and said in a low voice, "I I made a side note on purpose, and wanted to ask about the relationship between Boss Pan and that young lady of the Cui family. It is said that the couple are so in love with each other that they are dying! This young lady Cui is both beautiful and capable, and she helps Boss Pan manage the family business impressively , and gave birth to a pair of twins for him. Boss Pan doesn't care about the amount of money, but he is consistent and never goes out to mess around. Women in Dali City love their wives so much that their teeth itch!" Everyone picked Eyebrow, I really didn't expect that.

"Isn't that even weirder?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "I love my wife so much that I even sold my wife's old house for a cheap price."

Bai Fu leaned over and said to Bai Yutang who was concentrating on studying the paper door, "Boss Pan and Miss Cui have been married for ten years."

Bai Yutang smiled and nodded, "Smart."

Bai Fu smiled and went aside to continue working.

Zhan Zhao squatted down curiously and asked Bai Yutang, "Boss Pan has been married for ten years, is it important?"

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "How long has Master Cui been the head of the Cangshan School?"

"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao raised his face and thought for a while, "It should be more than 20 years."

"So, this house should have been handed over to Boss Pan ten years ago at the earliest." Zhao Pu counted the time from the side.

Zhan Zhao is so clever, he clapped his hands, "Look at the pines and cypresses in the garden, they don't exist in the scene I saw, so they were planted during the repair."

Bai Fu sawed off a pine tree, and Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang lay there, counting the rings with a small lantern, "Daddy, 22 circles!"

Everyone looked at each other, thinking of Cui's mansion, more than 20 years ago... it is very likely that Cui's head repaired this house, and he should be relatively clear about the bloody case back then.

"This door would not have been installed 20 years ago."

At this time, Bai Yutang looked up at the crowd, pointed to the door, and said, "Although this house is old, I just took a look at it. The original family must have some money and use excellent wood, but this The paper door was poor, it was peach wood.

Zhan Zhao leaned over to look, frowning, "Tao Mu, no wonder it's so light and airy."

Bai Yutang nodded, "The tenons are very new, they haven't been polished, as if they have been installed for a few days."

"Not a few days?" Gongsun was a little annoyed, "Didn't you put this piece of leather on purpose to scare people?"

"I didn't realize it was installed on purpose." Bai Yutang pointed to a few doors, "Look carefully, the style is the same, but the wood is different. The old house is made of nanmu, which is too luxurious. Nowadays, even rich people don't Phoebe will be used to build the house, and peach and pine are relatively common."

"Why?" Zhan Zhao said to himself, "Change a door, so that door is broken? Change the door if you change the door, and pretend to be a dummy inside to scare people."

"What's more interesting is that the leather has been put in for some time." Bai Yutang tore off a piece of thin paper and showed it to everyone, and there were traces of leather on the paper, which was yellowish. , It does seem to be some years old.

Tianzun yawned, "Is that new or old?"

Seeing that he was sleepy, Yin Hou also shrugged his shoulders, "It doesn't matter whether he has a new door or an old door, anyway, it's not that there are real ghosts, but someone is pretending to be a ghost."

Everyone looked at each other and agreed.

"Otherwise, go to bed earlier tonight." Zhao Pu arrived, "Let's talk about it tomorrow morning?"

Everyone agreed and went back to the room to sleep.

After Zhan Zhao finished washing, he went back to the bed and sat down. He found a bag of quilts and Bai Yutang was at the table. The door was opened, and Bai Fu first found two door panels and a quilt to block it.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to lift the quilt, and saw that the fourth son was hugging the pillow like a caterpillar, pouted, and when he found himself, he smiled.

"Not going back to your father's place?" Zhan Zhao covered him with a quilt.

The fourth son came over and put his arms around Zhan Zhao, "I want to sleep here."

Zhan Zhao was amused, lay down and poked his nose, "Are you afraid that the kid will find you, and your father and Zhao Pu won't find out?"

The fourth son grinned, "That's not it!"

"Then what are you doing?"

The fourth son stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, "Would neither rock nor scissors go.

Zhan Zhao looked in the direction of the fourth son's finger, and saw the scissors and the stone lying at the door.

Bai Yutang also raised his head, he was looking at Nu Yao's picture album, he didn't pay attention just now, he turned his head and looked at the window, the fourth son spread two thick mattresses on the ground, let the stone and the scissors sleep on their stomachs , but the two guys were lying at the door, and they didn't sleep. Instead, they were nestled on one side, with their heads lowered, as if they were sniffing the ground.

Bai Yutang looked at the fourth son, "What are they doing?"

The fourth son frowned and shook his head, "I don't know, I can't move them, so I just sleep here."

Zhan Zhao didn't think too much, and waved to Bai Yutang, "Yutang, go to bed early."

Bai Yutang nodded, turned off the lights, and went to bed.

After all, it is possible that the haunted house used to be a haunted house, and all these martial arts masters slept more vigilantly.In the middle of the night, Bai Yutang heard the sound of "Xi Xi Suo Suo".

He opened his eyes, startled.

Beside him, Zhan Zhao was staring outside the bed with a pair of shiny cat eyes.

"Cat?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao.

Seeing that he was awake, Zhan Zhao grumbled at the location of the door.Bai Yutang turned his head, and it turned out that the sound of Xixisuo came from there.The stone and the scissors were gently rubbing the floor, their posture was very weird, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had never seen it before.These two, either digging holes violently, or smelling them, are rarely like this. They seem to be paddling the ground with their paws, similar to the feeling of stroking something, and they seem a little anxious.

Bai Yutang looked back at Zhan Zhao, and suddenly raised his hand, "Cat, do you want to take another bite?"

In a fit of anger, Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and pulled his hair, "You treat yourself as medicine! Take a bite all day long."

Bai Yutang smiled, turned over and sat up, saw some movement on the bed, the stone and the scissors also raised their heads, and made a "cuckoo" sound, as if they wanted to attract Bai Yutang's attention. Status, something is wrong.

Bai Yutang lifted the quilt out of bed, went to the table and lit the lamp, and saw that the two floor tiles at the door had been moved away by the stone and the sharp claws of scissors, and there was something yellow under the floor tiles.

Walking over and squatting down, Bai Yutang lifted a floor tile, and was taken aback for a moment - he saw a layer of tarpaulin under the floor tile, which was thick and seemed to be used for waterproofing, but it may be old and a bit worn out.

Zhan Zhao also came over, "What's going on?"

Bai Yutang reached out to take the dagger from the table, cut open the oilcloth, and there was a strange smell of herbs, quite pungent, he frowned subconsciously, Zhan Zhao also pinched his nose.

Rock and scissors hurriedly stepped aside, and Stone began to sneeze.

Bai Yutang rummaged through it with a dagger, and found some withered grass, most of which were herbs with a pungent smell. No wonder Rock and Scissors was so disturbed, maybe the smell was too unpleasant.

"Hmm... Ah Choo."

At this time, the fourth son on the bed was also sneezed by the smoke, and the stone came up to lick his face and woke him up.He sat up in a daze, sniffed his nose, and quickly covered it, "It stinks!"

Bai Yutang picked up a long, rotten grass stalk with a dagger, but vaguely recognizable shape and asked Sizi, "Sizi, what kind of herbal medicine is this?"

The fourth son pinched his nose and waved his hands, "Well, once you smell it, you'll know it's dog grass. Hurry up and hide it, or the whole house will stink to death."

"Throw out dog grass?" Zhan Zhao listened freshly.

"Well, I gave it a small name. People who have been in the mountains call it like this. The beasts in the woods have the most brilliant noses. If you are on the road, take some of this with you. Those wolves, wild boars, etc. They ran away after smelling it from a long distance. However, if hunters are hunting, it is best to look for grass that does not have this kind of grass, otherwise the dog will not be able to find the north when it smells the scent, and it is easy to lose the prey.”

"Why is it buried here?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

Bai Yutang stood up and opened the door.

In the yard, the black shadow and white shadow who were still on vigil had already heard the movement, and ran over to look, "Fifth Master, what's wrong?"

Bai Yutang said, "Call Bai Fu for me, let him bring some people over with a shovel."

The black shadow disappeared in a flash, and after a while, Bai Fu ran over with a few strong generals of the Bai Mansion, holding a shovel, "Fifth Lord?"

Bai Yutang pointed to the underside of the square brick, "Dig it out and have a look."

Bai Fu led his men to dig.

The movement at this end naturally woke up the people in the other house. After all, it was a big yard, and everyone saw that the sky was about to dawn, so they simply got up.

However, the herbal medicine in a yard made people uncomfortable.

Gongsun took a bottle of medicinal powder and sprinkled it, "Who is it, buried so much grass, no wonder rock-scissors can't eat anything today."

"Five masters!"

At this time, a general from the Bai family who had dug to the lowest level, which was nearly a foot deep, yelled to the top.

Bai Yutang walked over to look, and frowned, only to see a skeleton dug out from the bottom of the pit.The general said, "Fifth Master, there are still a lot, should we dig it?"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, and Zhan Zhao nodded, "Dig them out."

The shadow guards also came to help, until it was completely dawn, when it was almost time to eat breakfast, a large pile of bones was dug out from the ground of the house of Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao. Gongsun just clicked on the skulls, and there were as many as forty of them. "It turned out to be a tomb." Zhan Zhao stared at the pile of bones for a long time, folded his arms and asked Bai Yutang, "Have you lost money? I can't sell it anymore!"

Bai Yutang shrugged indifferently, and smiled in Zhan Zhao's ear, "You can send off your enemies by the way."

The exhibition is full of hope.

After breakfast, Gongsun had something to do. Picking out the bones and putting them together to form a complete human is a huge project.

Bai Fu has cleaned up those herbs, and rock-scissors is alive and well again.

Everyone knew in their hearts that what Zhan Zhao saw was not an illusion, maybe...the last messages left in this house by those deceased.

Bao Yan held his chin, "Dad is really right!"

Pang Yu was curious, "What did your father say?"

"He said that no matter where he goes, as long as he follows Brother Zhan, he will definitely find the case." Bao Yan wrinkled his nose, "The legendary disaster physique!"

Pang Yu curled his lips, "That's right, you see those golden-eyed black cats squatting on graves..."

The two were discussing, Zhan Zhao cast a glance at them, and they quickly lowered their heads to drink the porridge.

"It's so strange!" The fourth son squatted beside Gongsun, helping to shake the bones, talking to himself.

Gongsun looked back at him, "You also find it strange, little four?"

"Yeah!" Little Four nodded.

Zhao Pu pressed the heads of the two, one big and one small, "What's so strange?"

The fourth son held up a few bones, "These people, the rest of the body is fine, but the ribs are all broken, and they are all cut into several pieces, just like that mirror, oh, no They were all killed by ferocious beasts, right?"

Everyone looked at Gongsun, and Gongsun nodded. What the fourth son said was indeed the most suspicious.

Yin Hou looked at Zhan Zhao, "Did you see something committing murder in your dream?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "No... Also, I didn't see it in a dream!"

Yin Hou raised his eyebrows and poked his forehead, "It doesn't matter when you saw it, why didn't you see the point, is there any way to read it again?"

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand, and generously gave his arm to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao grabbed hold of it and pinched it hard, Bai Yutang almost screamed in pain, so he let go, pointing at him, "Let me try to bite you again!"

Bai Yutang simply bowed his head and drank the porridge.

At this moment, Bai Fudian ran in and said, "Fifth Master, Fifth Master, Boss Pan's butler came with a gift, and said he wanted to invite our genius doctor to go to Cangshan."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled - this is what you want!
