Finally came to the gate of the academy, Yan Niang looked left and right, saw that there was no one around, just nodded to the right ear, the right ear shrank, and got out of the clothes, he was a monkey with silver hair at this time, he swooped into the academy, like a whirlwind.
Yan Niang also followed in, she came to the inner courtyard, and found that the undead flowers were still blooming under the pine trees, so she reached out and dragged down the flowers, rubbed them in the palm of her hand, and then watched the silver wind sweep up and down the eaves inside and outside the house, and after a while, he finally turned into a human form again, panting and walked to Yan Niang.
"No?"
Yan Niang frowned and looked at him.
"No," the right ear shook his head, "could it have been picked up by someone?"
The academy has been vacant for a few days, and maybe someone will come here to pick up some useful things. ” Yan Niang snorted, "No one wants these tables, chairs, and clothes, who will go and get a broken book without words." ” "And what do you mean?"
Yan Niang's face was covered with a shadow, "If my guess is correct, the Hu family may have trouble." ” Hu Zhun lay on the stone steps outside the courtyard wall, listening carefully to the movement inside, he is still a fox now, and he has not turned into a human form, so he can't rashly break into Hu's house.
He looked at the fluffy grass on the wall, and in a trance went back to more than ten years ago, at that time, he came here every night to listen to Hu Zheng read, he was lying outside the wall of this courtyard, so pious, so focused, as if the sound of reading aloud was the biggest thing in the world.
"Actually, it's good not to be a person."
A tear slipped from his slender eye, falling in the grass, glistening in the moonlight.
As tears overflowed, Hu Zhun's body slowly elongated, turning into a handsome and extraordinary man, and he walked up the steps and stepped into this long-lost door.
The house was unusually quiet, and the footsteps that he tried to restrain were magnified several times, and it was a little strange that even if it was late at night, it wouldn't even make a sound.
The Hu family is a famous family, not to mention the master, there are dozens of people under the maid, there are night guards every day, how can they not even see half a figure.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, so he quickened his pace, came to the outside of his parents' room, and gently patted the door panel, "Father, mother, I'm Zhu'er, I'm back." ” No one in the door responded to him, Hu Zhun was afraid, and the sound of banging on the door became fast and urgent, even if the person who slept to death would be awakened by the sound, but there was still no voice, not only inside the door, but the whole courtyard was silent and scary, as if this was not a mansion full of people, but a desert that was inaccessible.
The slamming of the door became slower and slower, and at last, he finally made up his mind, kicked the door open and walked into the house, and it took a long time to open his closed eyes.
Fortunately, the house was not as he thought, the blood was flowing like a river, and the head was in a different place, Hu Zhun breathed a sigh of relief, and checked the room by room, and he found that the people in the house seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no one was left.
That's not right, obviously everything is still there, if they move with their family, they can't take nothing with them, he stood in the middle of the courtyard, bowing his head and pondering.
Suddenly, a touch of red rose above the courtyard wall, and the red grew bigger and bigger, and black smoke rose from above.
The footsteps outside the wall began to become more numerous and chaotic, mixed with the panicked shouts of people inside.
"It's on fire, the sorghum field outside the town is on fire" "Hurry up and put out the fire, or this year's harvest will be ruined."
Hu Zhun left the house in a trance, and as the crowd walked towards the place where the fire started, he heard a burst of exclamation from front of him before he reached the sorghum field.
"How can there be people in the field?"
"It's all been burned to charcoal, how can it be burned like this in such a short time."
"Hundreds of people, they, who are they?
Is it a resident of the town?
” "Wait, the door of the Hu family hasn't been opened for a day today, is it?"
Hu Zhun pounced, and despite everyone's dissuasion, he came to the half-extinguished fire, and he saw that the jade bracelet that his mother always carried hung on a black charcoal-like arm, flashing a strange red light.
Everyone else stood outside the house and didn't dare to enter, Uncle Xi had to take Liu Xuzhu and Kong Zhou into Master Leng's room by himself, he pointed to the shrine in front of him, "The person who did evil is in that bone altar, but sir, please be careful, she is very angry and has already killed several people." ” Kong Zhou's eyes fell on the black bone altar, and then he waved his hand back, signaling Xi Bo and Liu Xujiao to go out.
He stepped forward alone, grabbed the scabbard in his right hand, drew the Shadow Sword, and closed it in the palm of his hand to the upper end of the bone altar.
"What is this?
Why is there only a hilt and no blade?
” The people behind him were talking, and Liu Xuzhu didn't have time to explain to them, because Kong Zhou had already stabbed the Chengying Sword into the bone altar with both hands.
The bone altar didn't split into a few petals as he thought, and it still stood firmly in the shrine, untouched.
After a stalemate like this for a while, Kong Zhou pulled his sword out of the bone altar and looked back at the dumbfounded villagers, "She is not here, although her bones are stored here, but her soul is missing." ” The villagers looked at Kong Zhou, and then at Uncle Xi, and the doubts on their faces couldn't be more obvious, after all, in their eyes, Kong Zhou just hung a sword hilt on the bone altar, and then announced the conclusion, saying that Leng Yu's soul was not here.
But who wouldn't do such a painless comparison a few times, could it be that this man was just pretending to be a ghost, in order to cheat money?
Liu Xujiao saw their doubts, so he wanted to say a few words for Kong Zhou, but he was not allowed to speak, but Kong Zhou came to Uncle Xi, his expression was solemn, his eyes were firm, "Uncle Xi, I have something to understand." ” "Sir, please."
"This is Miss Leng's home, you once said that she grew up here since she was a child, and she lived with Master Leng, and when she grew up, she died before she got married, didn't you?"
Xi Bo nodded, "Don't talk about me, everyone in the village knows about this." ” "It's strange, people's souls generally stay in the most nostalgic place before death, that Miss Leng was born and grew up here, but her soul, why not here?
Is there another place that she can't forget more than this cold mansion?
” Hearing him ask, the villagers who were still talking just now suddenly fell silent, they seemed to be choked by the throat, you look at me, I look at you, and finally, their eyes fell on Xi Bo, who was speechless.
