Lin Zhen sighed helplessly.

Now that I'm here and things are done, I can't give up halfway...

After resting for a while, Lin Zhen stepped onto the small bridge and crossed the clear river.

On the other side of the river, there is only a path that winds forward and seems to lead straight into the mountains.

Lin Zhen followed the compass pointer and kept moving forward along the path.

As the saying goes, looking at the mountain is like running to death. When Lin Zhen looked this way from the bell tower before, he thought the mountain was not that far away.

But now, after walking for more than ten minutes, Lin Zhen couldn't even reach the foot of the mountain.

However, he saw a fork in the road ahead.

Continuing forward, you can reach the foot of the mountain, and turn right, you can vaguely see a manor hidden in the dense woods...

Lin Zhen stood at the fork in the road and looked down at the compass in his hand.

At this time, the compass pointer happened to point to the path on the right...

Lin Zhen frowned slightly, with a vague premonition in his heart.

Those that can be actively sensed by the "Yin Yang Tracking Pan" are generally evil spirits or evil ghosts of some Taoism.

Looking at the manor that is vaguely visible in the corner of the forest, it feels quite like the "Evil Castle" in the horror movie.

Lin Zhen did not hesitate and walked towards the path leading to the manor...

The purpose of my trip is to kill evil spirits. It can be said that I have finally reached my destination after a lot of hard work, so there is no reason to back down.

After walking for about five minutes, an iron gate appeared in front of Lin Zhen.

Through the wide gap in the iron fence door, Lin Zhen could see the scene inside.

This is a classical European manor. In front of the gate is a garden with a circular fountain in the center.

Looking further ahead is the porch of the manor, which has four arched doors and about five steps in front.

At this time, the manor was very quiet, as if no one lived in it...

Lin Zhen walked straight through the iron gate and came to the garden.

Judging from the surrounding green belts and messy shrubs, this garden has not been taken care of for a long time.

Lin Zhen looked at the compass again, and after confirming that the pointer was pointing at the manor building in front of him, he took the compass back into his arms and held a charm between his fingers with his left hand.

Lin Zhen held the "Pluto Iron" kitchen knife in his right hand and cautiously came to the main entrance of the manor.

Lin Zhen's eyes fell on the porch floor, and his brows immediately furrowed.

Are these…horse hoof prints?

Lin Zhen saw several less obvious U-shaped mud marks on the ground. The soil had dried up and it seemed that they had been formed for some time.

Isn't there a stable or something like that here, and the horse needs to be led into the house?

Lin Zhen felt a little strange.

However, now that it has been determined that the target of the "Yin Yang Tracking Tray" should be in the manor in front of him, Lin Zhen no longer thinks about what is there or what is not.

Right now, finding the target directly and getting rid of it is the top priority.

Without hesitation, Lin Zhen directly transformed his body into a spiritual body, passed through the wooden gate, and entered the interior of the manor.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a spacious front hall.

Sofas, fireplaces, chandeliers, murals…

The style of the front hall is very complex with European classical aesthetics.

This is exactly what it looks like.

On the right side of the front hall, there is a small second-floor platform, and below it is a spiral staircase.

Lin Zhen did not rush upstairs, but whispered in a low voice: "The sky is yang and the earth is yin, the road is turning, prove my magical power, and open my eyes."

Although the power cannot be used, the "yin and yang eyes" can still be activated normally.

After turning on the "Yin Yang Eyes", Lin Zhen searched carefully in the front hall, trying to find some clues.

What surprised Lin Zhen was that there was not even a trace of Yin energy remaining in the entire front hall.

Since there is no one on the first floor, we can only go to the second floor to have a look...

Lin Zhen thought like this and walked towards the spiral staircase.

Going up the stairs, Lin Zhen discovered that the scale of this manor was far larger than he had imagined.

Because behind the second-floor terrace, there is a larger space, including a spacious corridor and two stairs to the left and right leading to the third floor.

Lin Zhen first walked to the corridor on the left, where there was a guest room.

Walking directly through the door and entering, the sight in front of him made Lin Zhen frown slightly.

It looks like a very comfortable big bed, bedside tables, solid wood chairs, and a balcony with good lighting.

If it weren't for the weird dolls everywhere in the house, this would be an ordinary and comfortable bedroom.

Lin Zhen's eyes fell on the rag doll closest to him.

What makes the whole bedroom look very weird are these same-looking rag dolls.

Its eyes are two buttons, and its mouth is a rough smile sewn with thread. The overall style looks very uncomfortable.

And most importantly, these dolls are scattered throughout the bedroom.

There is one hanging on the floor, in the corner, on the bedside table, on the chair, even on the bed, and even on the chandelier...

It feels like you have entered a workshop where dolls are produced...

If he hadn't sensed the Yin Qi in these dolls, Lin Zhen would have thought that these dolls were actually transformed by some evil spirits.

Lin Zhen looked around and after confirming that there was no Yin Qi in this bedroom, he turned around and left.

He had no desire to find out about these weird dolls.

After leaving this strange bedroom, Lin Zhen walked to the corridor on the right.

There is also a wooden door over there.

After walking through the door, what appeared in front of Lin Zhen was not another bedroom, but a standard study room.

With solid wood bookshelves filled with books and classical oil paintings hanging on the walls, this study is so standard that there is almost nothing special about it.

However, Lin Zhen still found an inexplicable point in it.

That is, in the center of the study room, on the solid wood desk, there are four U-shaped horseshoes.

Moreover, the horseshoes are still rusty and look like they have seen some age...

This time, Lin Zhen saw a faint trace of Yin energy on the four horseshoes.

It seems that these horseshoes must have been touched by some evil spirit...

However, it was only touched, because the Yin energy on it was so weak that it could not be detected if one did not look carefully.

In addition, Lin Zhen also noticed that a layer of dust had accumulated on the desk.

This means that no one has come in this study for a while...

Two guesses emerged in Lin Zhen's mind: The first was that the owner of this manor had been harmed by evil spirits a long time ago.

Another possibility is that the owner of the manor does not live here, but some kind of evil spirit comes in without permission when there is no one around.
