Not long after, Li Hanxue, Su Xiaoya and the man in black robe had arrived at the door of the old house in the east of the city, which was the residence of the ghost-faced old man.
The old house is old, with gray walls and variegated cobblestones on the floor. The gray-brown plaque on the door has been severely gnawed by insects and ants. There are two traces of pale gold fonts on it. One of them is vaguely identifiable, which is "Mansion".
"", the other word can no longer be seen clearly.
The three of them didn't pay much attention and walked straight into the house.
After walking into the mansion, I saw that the mansion is surrounded by white walls, with a circular arch on three sides, and a large pond in the center, leading to the front. The overall layout can be said to be half pond and half soil, with land
In the bamboo forest, the bamboos stand tall and straight under the heavy rain, and the bamboo leaves become even more green. On the water surface, white lotus flowers bloom. The lotus leaves not only were not destroyed under the heavy rain, but were also protected by such a strong rain.
It is even more delicate and delicate in its strength, which makes people wonder when they see it.
On top of the patches of lotus leaves, there is a brown wooden corridor leading to a quiet place. Along the winding corridor, you can vaguely see a small pavilion at the end, with two figures floating in it.
"Let's go." The man in black robe said.
As soon as the three of them stepped onto the wooden corridor, a middle-aged man in white walked towards them. The middle-aged man had a stable and upright appearance, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and thick lips. He looked like a typical honest man. He was wearing white clothes.
Not only does it not give people a sense of elegance, but it makes him look more clumsy and even a bit laughable.
Li Hanxue would naturally not laugh at others. His current dull appearance is probably even worse than this middle-aged man.
"Who are you? You broke into our house without permission. What do you mean?" The middle-aged man stared at Li Hanxue and the three of them with a somewhat unkind tone.
Li Hanxue could tell that this middle-aged man's status in the government was certainly not high, and he was probably a helper, so he said, "We are here just to see the ghost-faced old man, and please introduce him to him."
The middle-aged man glanced at Li Hanxue, and then at Su Xiaoya who was beside Li Hanxue. Seeing the vulgar appearance of the two of them, he couldn't help showing disgust: "The master of the palace is very busy now and has no time to meet you."
"Senior Ghost Face, are you so busy?" The man in black robe sneered, "You don't even have time to meet guests?"
"Does this need to be said? The master of the palace has many things to do and is busy with affairs. Of course he is busy." The middle-aged man waved his hand as if to ward off flies, "leave quickly, you are not welcome here."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Ghost Face also has evil servants. It seems that I can only use strong ones." The black-robed man swollen his robes and quickly stretched out his right hand to grab the middle-aged man directly. There was a strange wave emanating from his palm.
, bursts of black energy formed small whirlpools, quickly retracting towards the palm of the hand, emitting a strong attraction.
The middle-aged man's body was involuntarily sucked towards the palm of the black-robed man. The two were one foot apart. When the middle-aged man was sucked half a foot away, his body suddenly shook and resisted the attraction.
He stepped hard and quickly took three steps back.
"You dare to attack me in the ghost mansion, you are too impatient to live!"
The middle-aged man showed a sneer, flew his hands, and murmured strange words in his mouth. His hands were quickly forming a strange mark. Before his mark was completed, all the bamboo forests in the ghost mansion began to tremble violently.
Waves of cyan light emitted, forming green threads and surrounding the black-robed man.
Li Hanxue's heart trembled: "What is this?"
"Master, I'm afraid a big formation has been set up in this mansion. You have to be careful." Guisun Bing's eyes were venomous. As soon as the middle-aged man activated the formation, he could see through the layout of the ghost mansion.
Li Hanxue glanced around and was shocked, but he was not afraid. Instead, he showed a sense of expectation.
"Although this man in black robe told me his name and said he was Xiang Ping, I don't believe him. His identity is suspicious and his strength is powerful. I would like to see what the outcome will be if the two of them fight." Li Hanxue could see it.
The cultivation level of this middle-aged man in white is only a little higher than his own, at most the second level of Xuanwu Realm. But after communicating with the formations in the mansion, his strength will increase dramatically. If the two of them fight, it's hard to say who will win.
"Get out of here." The middle-aged man shouted, and all the green threads suddenly swelled up and wrapped around the black-robed man's ankles at high speed.
The man in black robe also knew that this green silk must be an extremely powerful means, and he did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly jumped out and jumped to the wall near the east to avoid being surrounded by green silk.
"Is escaping useful? This is the layout of our ghost mansion. There are formations everywhere. You can't escape."
The middle-aged man waved his hands, and a bamboo forest on the east wall suddenly burst into green light, and thick green threads shot toward the body of the black-robed man.
The man in black robe did not panic. The black energy in his hands became even stronger, as if he was going to use some means to resist.
"Stop! Lao Shi, these people are guests, don't be rude! Invite them in."
The black aura of the man in black robe was about to collide with the green silk, but was interrupted by an old voice.
The middle-aged man lowered his head slightly toward the distant and inexplicable place, showing a respectful look: "Yes, Palace Master."
The man in black robe also returned to Li Hanxue and Su Xiaoya.
Although there was a look of reluctance on the middle-aged man's face, he did not dare to disobey the palace master's order. He glanced at Li Hanxue and the others and coldly snorted: "Follow me."
The three of them followed the middle-aged man and walked along the wooden corridor. The rain was falling on the corridor, and the corridor was filled with lotus flowers and green bamboos. It was full of life and the scenery was quite pleasant.
Not long after, the three of them reached the end of the corridor. At the end was the small pavilion. The faces of the two figures in the small pavilion became clear in Li Hanxue's eyes.
The two of them were wearing special silk robes made of sky-blue fabric. Behind them was a scorching sun shining brightly. The two of them were obviously members of the same sect.
One of them had a square face and broad ears. He held a tea cup in his hand and took a sip of tea. He looked at Li Hanxue and the others with no fluctuation in his eyes. The other one had a pair of triangular snake eyes with mutated pupils, which made people tremble in their hearts.
.
The snake-eyed man glanced at Li Hanxue and the others, with a look of unruly expression on his face, and his laughter was chilling.
The square-faced man smiled and said: "We are the true disciples of the Baihong Sect of the sixth grade sect. We are on the lower road Guicai. This person next to me is my junior brother Shi Fan. How should we call the three of us?"
"Li Shiba."
"Li Xiaoxue."
"Xiang Ping."
"Are you also here to exchange treasures?" Shi Fan asked and glanced at the three of them.
"That's right." Li Hanxue said.
"What a coincidence, we two brothers are also here to exchange treasures. When the time comes, please show mercy." Lu Guicai, a square-faced man, said with a smile.
The man in black robe smiled and said, "It's easy to talk about."
But Shi Fan sneered: "With us here, I'm afraid your trip will be in vain. I advise you to go back where you came from, so as not to be embarrassed when the time comes to fight for treasures. That would be bad."
"Since we are all here, of course there is no reason to go back." Su Xiaoya said.
Shi Fan glared at Su Xiaoya, "Ugly people talk nonsense!"
Li Hanxue suddenly became unhappy: "You'd better keep your mouth clean."
"Hmph! What can you do to me?" Shi Fan's snake eyes glared, his face filled with arrogance.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Senior brother Lu Guicai acted as a peacemaker and quickly advised: "My junior brother has a bad temper, please forgive me. Let's go, let's go see Mr. Ghost Noodle and exchange the money.
