treacherous world

The moment the door opened, everyone stood up, and at the same time, a gust of wind rose from the ground... In an instant, all the wind lamps of death were extinguished instantly.

This is an infuriating wind lantern!The reason for taking such a name means that the general wind can't blow them out at all, so what kind of wind is it?So much power.

Zhao Pu first pulled Gongsun to his side and protected him carefully, then looked around and felt that it was evil.

Zhan Zhao stared in the direction of the door. Just now, he really saw the red dress flashing. Could it be that the female ghost heard that he was talking nonsense to ruin her reputation, so she just did nothing to join in the fun?

Among so many people, Bai Yutang was the only one who was still sitting in his seat. He was frowning slightly at this moment, as if he was deep in thought.As for what he was thinking, at this moment, no one cared to think about it.

"Ah ah!"

Zhan Zhao and the others calm down, the wives and concubines in Cui's house couldn't hold their breath anymore, they stood up screaming, and all hid behind Cui Qishou.Ye Yunshan is the funniest, and she can scare half her life away. She has done this job a lot before, but this is the first time she has encountered such a terrifying thing.She knew that being beside Cui Qishou was of no use at all, would it be useful to hide behind Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang!

At this time, everyone can feel that the gloomy atmosphere is extremely ominous. Of course, the most frightening thing is Zhan Zhao's nonsense from the red-clothed female ghost just now, coupled with the current situation... Everyone unanimously said to Zhan Zhao, There is no doubt about the death of the female ghost.At the same time, vaguely, it seemed that the sound of the chain being dragged could be heard, and——the sound of a dog barking!

"Is it surrounded by dogs outside or what?" Zhao Pu's ears were better, he said to himself, he really heard a lot of dogs barking.Subconsciously raised her face and knocked, on the roof, seeing that no one was paying attention, Ziying raised her head and shook her head at him.

Zhao Pu frowned even more...Ziying and Zheying were in charge of guarding, so they were always at a high place, that is to say, from where they stood, they couldn't see any people or dogs coming from outside. What's going on?Invisible?

Just when everyone was in doubt, suddenly there was a flash of light around... There was a burst of blue light, like a bolt of lightning, followed by the sound of thunder that exploded half of the sky, but a dead silence.Everyone held their breath and waited for a while, and when they saw that there was still no movement, they breathed a sigh of relief.But at the moment when he breathed a sigh of relief, a terrifying and loud dog bark sounded violently, shocking everyone in the Cui Mansion with chills down their spines.

Especially Cui Qishou, Zhan Zhao didn't know if it was his own illusion, he always felt that Cui Qishou was trembling standing in the night wind.

Anyway, he is the head of a great sect, and he is too old, so he shouldn't be scared like this by a ghost, right?Don't say there are no ghosts, even if there are ghosts, you shouldn't lose your composure, unless... there is something else hidden, or something that comes, in Cui Qishou's opinion, is more terrifying than ghosts.

Just as he was thinking, Bai Yutang beside him suddenly tugged Zhan Zhao's sleeve lightly.

Zhan Zhao bowed his head, thinking that his Yutang was really calm, sitting there completely motionless, so he leaned over and asked him, "What did you find?"

Bai Yutang lowered his voice a little, "This organ is on the stool."

Zhan Zhao was slightly taken aback, puzzled, "Stool?"

Bai Yutang raised the corners of his mouth, "Do you know how the wind lamp of death is turned off?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head.

Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao to sit beside him, then grabbed his hand and touched under the stool he was sitting on, groping lightly...

After a while, Zhan Zhao felt something, like a raised box, which was upside down at the bottom of the stool.

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao to touch under his chair again.Zhan Zhao touched...there was indeed a raised box, but compared to the one under Bai Yutang's stool, his one seemed to be slightly deflated.

"What?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

Zhao Pu saw what Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were doing, and reached out his hand out of curiosity, and touched under the stool—sure enough!I touched some strange things - so, there is a mechanism?

Zhao Pu looked at Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, they saw him too, and all three raised their brows lightly.

Zhan Zhao blinked at Bai Yutang - this is Cui Mansion's mansion, Cui Mansion's lantern, Cui Mansion's stool, such a trick, are you sure it's not an internal crime?

Bai Yutang smiled faintly, and waved his hands to signal Zhan Zhao to sit down safely. Let's see what happens next. After all, even if there is a ghost, it's not very powerful if you rely on mechanisms to scare people.

Not long after Zhan Zhao sat down, he heard a fluttering sound from outside, it was the sound of a woman crying.The voice was very distant, indistinguishable, and muffled.Zhan Zhao listened for a long time with his ears upright, the sound was sandwiched with the barking of a dog, there was something in common, it felt very far away...

Zhan Zhao inexplicably remembered that one day, the bamboo tube game he was playing with the fourth son in the yard came.

By the way, there was a time before when the Kaifeng Mansion was tidying up the garden and felling a lot of bamboos. Bai Yutang kept a few of them, took a small hammer, and beat in the yard to build a strange-looking shelf.

The fourth son rested his chin on the toy all afternoon, and only after he was done did he realize that it was a toy made for him.After the shelf was completed, it was buried in the yard, surrounded by a lot of coils to pull out thin and long coils of copper wire, each room had a head, and two small bamboo tubes were hung on it.The fourth son is holding a small bamboo tube here to talk, and Zhan Zhao can listen through the bamboo tube in that room; Zhan Zhao is talking to the bamboo tube in the far away kitchen, and the fourth son can also listen.This bamboo stand made Sizi amused for half a year. Zhan Zhao remembered that the sound could travel far and far through the bamboo tube and the copper wire coil, but the sound would be changed, with a dull feeling——and now It feels like it.

Just when Zhan Zhao was wondering, there was a "Hula", the wind stopped, and everything around became quiet.

After a long time, all the talents came back to their senses, Cui Fang shouted, "Come on, light up the lamp, light up the lamp and have a look!"

Some servants came to light the lights. Not long after, the yard was brightly lit, and there were no ghosts or dogs around. Just after he breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Yunshan yelled, "Oh, sister Seven!"

Everyone followed the sound and looked at her, only to see Mrs. Seven, who had hanged herself after a commotion in the afternoon, was lying upright on the ground, right in front of everyone's eyes.She was originally wearing a long purple dress, but for some reason now, it turned into a bright red, bloody feeling, Aunt Qi was too out of breath, her face was whiter than paper, her lips were bruised, and her eyes were bulging like she was frightened to death Yes, but with the obvious strangulation on her neck, it looks more like she was hanged.

Everyone was shocked and didn't know what happened.

Gongsun stepped forward to give her a pulse and shook his head, "This time it's really hopeless."

"Ah ah!"

The concubines and concubines in Cui's house screamed in shock, and some people shouted, "There is a ghost, there really is a ghost!" It's her! Cui Qin paled, "It's her who came, Daddy, it's retribution..."

"Bastard!"

As soon as Cui Qin finished speaking, Cui Qishou scolded him and interrupted him.

Looking at him again, although his complexion is not good, he has obviously calmed down.Glancing at the corpses on the ground, Cui Qishou took a deep breath to ease his emotions, and ordered his servants, "Send the corpse of Grandma Seven to the backyard for temporary placement. All the decorations here cannot be moved. Everyone else, go back to their rooms. No one is allowed." go out!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered his subordinates, "Go to the police and tell the murder case!"

The subordinate left, and everyone at the dinner party went back to their rooms to rest according to Cui Qishou's instructions.

Bai Yutang stood up, and Zhan Zhao saw an angry wind lamp behind him, the lamp swayed twice, but it didn't go out.Slightly frowning——Sure enough, there is a mechanism on the stool.

Everyone went back to the house with a lot of worries, and saw Yinhou and Tianzun having dinner, drinking tea and eating oranges with their legs crossed, as if they were chatting.

This scene is quite shocking when you see it suddenly. It's not easy for these two old men to have a quiet day of chatting.

"Yutang!"

As soon as he entered the room, Zhan Zhao grabbed Bai Yutang, held him down on a stool beside him, and looked at each other.

Bai Yutang also looked at Zhan Zhao, as if asking - why?

"Have you caught the goblin yet?" Zhan Zhao asked seriously, "Real or shemale?"

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What a monster..."

Zhan Zhao patted the stool, "Is someone playing tricks?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "Absolutely."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, "Wouldn't it be that people inside the Cui Mansion are more suspicious?"

"I think so too." Bai Yutang nodded.

"Speaking of it." Zhao Pu looked up at Tianzun and Yinhou who seemed to be researching something, "Why are you two so harmonious?"

Gongsun also nodded in agreement, it was indeed strange to see that Yinhou and Tianzun were not arguing.

Tianzun raised his face, and Yinhou held his chin, "Do we have more than 100 years to talk about?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, Zhan Zhao asked, "Grandpa, did you hear the dog barking just now?"

"I heard." Yin Hou nodded, "It's just like people learned it."

"That's right, we just said, what's wrong with the people in Dali City, and they are still making such a fuss."

"People learned it?" Bai Yutang asked himself, but he couldn't tell that there was anything wrong with the dog's barking, so he asked, "How did you two know?"

"Isn't that obvious." Tianzun pointed to Bai Yutang, "Have you ever lived in the market, have you, son, have you heard the dogs from other houses barking in all directions with such a loud dog barking?"

Everyone was stunned.

Gongsun also nodded, "Yes, usually when a dog barks louder, the other dogs will follow suit, spreading the word. Sometimes something happens to the family, the dog barks wildly, and the dogs on the whole street bark. They will all bark, it's nature."

"So...the sound didn't spread outside at all?" Zhan Zhao scratched his head, "People bark like dogs, but they can make such a loud noise without seeing people? And the sound hasn't spread out yet, just wandering around in the house? "

"Unless..." Bai Yutang seemed to have understood something.

"Unless what?" Zhan Zhao asked, "using internal force?"

"It's not using internal force, it's using tools!" Bai Yutang thought for a while, "The principle is similar to blowing a horn with a conch shell, so the sound sounds dull."

"A mechanism again?!" Zhao Pu felt a little strange when he heard it, "What kind of mechanism expert has sneaked into Cui's mansion and pretended to be a ghost?"

While discussing here, footsteps came from outside, Zhan Zhao hurriedly pushed Yinhou and Tianzun behind the screen.Sure enough, there was a knock on the door, followed by a soft question, "Bai Shaoxia, are you asleep?"

Everyone was stunned, it seemed that it was Cui Qishou who spoke.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Yutang—why did he look for you so late?I opened my mouth for a long time and asked if you slept.

Bai Yutang looked at the sky, the cat was jealous again, so he walked over to open the door.

Seeing everyone in the room, Cui Qishou seemed a little embarrassed, so he asked Bai Yutang, "Can I have a chance to speak?"

Bai Yutang stepped aside, "Master Cui, let's talk in the room."

Seeing Zhan Zhao and Zhao Pu's good looks, Cui Qishou guessed that they should be trusted by Bai Yutang, and this genius doctor also saved Cui Qin's life, so he walked in.

The door closed, Cui Qishou sat down, seemed extremely anxious, rubbing his hands inadvertently.

Bai Yutang also sat down and asked, "Is there something wrong with Master Cui?"

"Yes." Cui Qishou looked up at the crowd and asked, "Bai Shaoxia, did you see what happened just now?"

Bai Yutang nodded with a half-smile, "Well, it's spectacular."

Cui Qishou grinned, feeling extremely embarrassed, "You told the young man to read a joke... This young man..." As he spoke, he looked at Zhan Zhao, "Do you really have the eyes of heaven?"

Zhan Zhao is sitting at the table eating oranges, trying to look like he has nothing to do with him, looking at Cui Qishou.

"Then I might as well cut to the chase." Cui Qishou sighed, "Everyone, do you believe in ghosts and gods?"

Zhao Pu drank tea from a teacup and sneered, "It's hard to believe that scene."

Cui Qishou nodded, "My Cui family has a lot of fate and was cursed by others. Now that the omen is approaching, I'm afraid it will be more or less ominous."

"That woman in red is your friend?" Zhan Zhao continued to pretend to be crazy.

"What... what woman in red?" Cui Qishou looked at Zhan Zhao in surprise.

"Following you all the time."

"I..." Cui Qi stood up abruptly, looking back with a look of horror.

Bai Yutang took the opportunity to give Zhan Zhao a thumbs up, and Zhan Zhao stuffed a piece of orange into his mouth.

Cui Qishou turned his head, and the two people who were originally expressive immediately lowered their faces, one was in a daze, the other pretended to be puzzled.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu's movements were surprisingly consistent, they turned their faces away and held back their smiles.

"Oh, I'm not afraid of embarrassment anymore!" Cui Qishou didn't realize that the few people were acting weird, he seemed to be fighting it out at this moment, and saluted Bai Yutang, "Bai Shaoxia, if we meet at this time, it may be because of God's pity that I should not die, you No matter what, save my Cui family!"

Cui Qishou's words were unexpected, Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "Master Cui, why did you say that?"

"It's a long story. Bai Shaoxia studied under Tianzun. Have you ever heard of Tianmo Palace?"

Bai Yutang's fingers moved slightly, and Zhan Zhao's eyelids beside him slightly lifted.Gongsun Zhao Pu glanced at each other—Tianmo Palace, is it the Marquis of Yin?

"The Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace, the Marquis Yin, the Palace Lord Yin who is on par with the Heavenly Venerate in martial arts, have you ever heard of it?" Cui Qishou asked fearlessly, but he didn't know that the Palace Lord Yin was behind the screen less than ten steps away from him.

Bai Yutang nodded, and said to himself, not only did he know each other, but he had to call him Grandpa and kiss him.

"What does this matter have to do with the Heavenly Demon Palace?" Seeing that Zhan Zhao's eyes were almost narrowed, Gongsun knew that if Cui Qishou talked nonsense, Zhan Zhao might turn his back on him, so he quickly helped him ask.

"When Marquis Yin was young, before he founded the Heavenly Demon Palace, do you all know?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and Bai Yutang also frowned——Yin Hou's life was indeed very mysterious. He was almost in his twilight years when he got married and gave birth to Zhan Zhao's mother. Looks very young.

Bai Yutang subconsciously looked at Zhan Zhao, but Zhan Zhao didn't say a word. His mother did tell him about the events of Marquis Yin, but that happened after his mother was born. As for before, no one knew, even Tianmo None of the uncles in the palace knew about it.

Behind the screen, Tianzun frowned and looked at Yinhou. Yinhou and him looked at each other, and the expressions on both of them could be described as strange.

"Then, did Tianzun ever mention that he and Yinhou both went to the same place when they were young?" Cui Qishou asked tentatively.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered one thing - it seems that the two elders mentioned that when they were young, they went to the Western Regions.

"That was a long, long time ago. At that time, a big event happened in the Western Regions." Cui Qishou said, lowering his voice a little, "No one in the Central Plains Wulin may know about it. The Yinhou and Tianzun who are here know the ins and outs, and this matter has a great relationship with Yinhou."

"What's the matter?" Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Is it related to the chaos in your house today?"

"That's..." Before Cui Qishou finished speaking, he heard someone running into the courtyard and shouting at the door, "Father, father, the magistrate is coming quickly with Yao Bao."

Cui Qishou frowned slightly, stood up, and bowed his hands to Bai Yutang, "There is a life lawsuit in my family, go to see the official first, and talk to Bai Wuye in the morning."

"Oh..." Bai Yutang couldn't get enough of his thoughts after hearing this, and was cut off at a critical point. This person who talks halfway and always likes to get stuck in key places really deserves a beating!

Cui Qishou hastily bid farewell to the crowd and left.

Zhan Zhao immediately went behind the screen, dragged the dark-faced Tianzun and Yinhou over, and let the two old men sit down.

The four of them formed a circle and stared at the two of them.

"What are you looking at?" Yin Hou glared at Zhan Zhao, "It's not big or small!"

Bai Yutang couldn't help but asked Tianzun, "What did you two do back then, that the haunting and being cursed have something to do with you?"

"Listen to the nonsense that Cui is talking about." Yin Hou was dissatisfied, "That's not the case at all."

"What's going on?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Tsk." Yin Hou stood up, "It's useless to talk about it, it's been so many years, the ghosts will remember." After speaking, one jumped out of the window.Followed by Tianzun, Bai Ying disappeared in a flash... Said that he was too old to stay up all night and went to sleep.

Now, Zhan Zhao and the four of them were stuck to death.

Gongsun stomped his feet angrily, "These two are too wicked, they're so appetizing!"

"Grandpa had such a strange expression just now." Zhan Zhao was a little worried, "It's the first time I've seen him like this."

Bai Yutang also nodded, "I also think something is wrong."

"Where are they going now?" Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "I'm a little worried."

Bai Yutang picked up the knife, "Let's go."

"Following them?" Zhan Zhao felt a little helpless, "Maybe he can't follow them."

"Go and find out." Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao out the door.

Zhao Pu and Gongsun were left in the room looking at each other in blank dismay—a feeling of worry that could not be explained.When they came to Dali, it was true that they had a premonition that something would happen, but it was still unexpected that such a big thing happened.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came out of the courtyard. They originally planned to go over the wall and go in the direction of Tianzun and Yinhou, but when they reached the roof, Bai Yutang stopped and stared at the side of the wall without taking his eyes off it.

"Yutang?" Zhan Zhao squatted on the roof and poked him, "What did you see? A girl is taking a bath?"

Bai Yutang was standing on top of the wall with a slanted body, but Zhan Zhao almost fell off the wall with a single sentence.

When he regained consciousness, Zhan Zhao had already put his arms around his waist to prevent him from falling, smiling slyly.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao dumbfounded, "You still have the heart to joke."

"What are you looking at?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, and waved to Zhan Zhao. He didn't leave Cui's residence, but landed near the base of the wall, moved a plate of chrysanthemums, and saw several coils of copper wire behind the chrysanthemums.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Copper wire?"

Bai Yutang told Zhan Zhao in a low voice, "Whether it was the sound of the wind or the barking of dogs and chains just now, it was all caused by the authorities. In Cui's mansion, there is a man with very good means, and his martial arts are not weak."

Zhan Zhao nodded to express his understanding, "This person must not have been hiding for a long time, so Cui Qishou didn't even know?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, "I didn't find anyone particularly suspicious either."

The two walked forward along the copper wire. When passing through the garden, Zhan Zhao suddenly grabbed Bai Yutang, jumped up, and went to the side to wipe the mud on his feet.

"Don't go there." Zhan Zhao pulled Bai Yutang and showed him the soles of his shoes, "It's all new mud! I stepped on mud."

Bai Yutang looked at the lush flowers, how could it be all new mud?These flowers and plants grow gorgeously, but they don't look like they were planted just after digging the soil.

Thinking of this, he walked over quickly, took a small shovel for planting flowers from the side, and poked some dirt away.Speaking of which, there are no coincidences in this world, when Bai Yutang fiddled with the soil, he discovered that there were still some things buried in the ground.And when he pushed all the dirt away, revealing the whole picture of the "thing" underground, Bai Yutang was dumbfounded on the spot.

Zhan Zhao came over to have a look, then raised his hand to pat Bai Yutang on the head.

As a handsome and ruthless nobleman, Bai Yutang felt uncomfortable being slapped on the back of his head for the first time.He touched his head and looked up at Zhan Zhao with a puzzled expression on his face.

Zhan Zhao looked at the things buried in the ground, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he reached out to pinch Bai Yutang's cheek, "You're such an adult, don't play with mud in the future!"

Bai Yutang raised his forehead, knowing that he had discovered something extraordinary, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Cat, what should I do?"

Zhan Zhao squatted beside him with his chin on his hands, shaking his head, "What should I do? It's going to be difficult this time!"
