Qin Yin gasped, and everyone else's eyes turned to her.
"What's wrong?"
"In that case... nothing will happen to Xiaolan, right?" Qin Yin asked.
"Taoist Master and Miaozhen are with them. Nothing will happen, right?" the fool said.
"I'm referring to the poison that Xiaolan was poisoned by before," Qin Yin said, "Everyone in that house died from Hongjian, and Xiaolan was also poisoned by Hongjian..."
"But hasn't Xiaolan's poison been cured?"
"To be precise, the red thread is broken," Li Muyuan corrected again, "but theoretically, if the red thread is broken, it means that the poison on Xiaolan's body is gone."
Everyone nodded in silence, but everyone's expression could not be considered very relieved.
"They still have no news?" The fool broke the silence.
Luo Jiutian picked up the phone, took a look at it, and shook his head.
"Then..." The fool looked at Qin Yin, "Let's go in and have a look."
Qin Yin nodded immediately.
"That's fine..." Xia Hua thought for a moment, then turned to Li Muyuan and said, "Muyuan, you and Wenling, Jiutian will stay outside to take care of things, while Miss Qin, Silly Brother, I, and I will go in to see what's going on."
Wen Ling was a little unhappy, but seeing that others quickly obeyed the arrangement, he decided to put the overall situation first.
When everyone walked down the stairs, it was already three o'clock in the morning, which was the darkest hour before dawn. The person sitting at the front desk of the hotel should be the proprietress of the hotel. She had not seen this group of customers yet. Seeing Xia Hua, Fool and
Qin Yin and the others were about to go out, and the landlady looked at them curiously.
"Going out so late."
"Well," Xia Hua smiled politely, "I'm hungry, let's go out for a late-night snack."
"There are not many restaurants outside at this time," the landlady stood up, "Our small place is not like the big cities outside that can open all night... If you are hungry, there are instant noodles and other things at the front desk, but that's not good, I
I can give you a bowl of noodles."
"Thank you, eldest sister, you are so kind," Qin Yin said sincerely, "but we still have to go outside to pick up our friends."
"Oh," the landlady stood with her hands folded for a while, then whispered, "Well... my husband also told you about the house over there, right?"
"Say," said the fool, "do you know anything else?"
"I don't... I don't know about that anymore..." The landlady lowered her eyes for a moment, her expression seemed hesitant, "But..."
Upon hearing her hesitation, the three of them hurried over.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yin asked, "Sister, what else do you know?"
"I don't know if I should say..."
"It needs to be said, it needs to be said," Qin Yin lay directly on the front desk, "Sister, if you know anything, just tell us. Someone we know died in that house, and we also want to know the truth."
"I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the house." The landlady glanced in the direction of the corridor, "My husband won't let me tell anyone. He's afraid that someone will hear it, so he really won't come to the hotel, but you guys
I'm a little worried about going out so late..."
"It's okay, eldest sister, just say it," Qin Yin also lowered her voice, "We won't tell anyone what you said."
"It's just... didn't my husband tell you that he felt it turned red outside one night?" the boss's wife said, "I was also on night shift that night, but he didn't notice that that night... there was actually a power outage.
"
"There's a power outage?" Everyone was even more curious.
"Yes," the proprietress recalled, "that period of time was considered a peak season for our industry, so the lights in the hall, corridors, and everywhere were on. I was playing with my mobile phone at the time, and suddenly the surroundings suddenly
It was so dark, I thought I was blind..."
"What time did that happen?" Xia Hua asked.
"Probably... around three or four in the morning," the landlady turned back and pointed at the clock hanging on the wall, "By the way, that's when my husband gets up at night."
"I see..." said the fool, "no wonder he can tell there is a faint red light outside the window."
"Yes, that's what I was about to say," the landlady said, "We live in a separate place, not in the reception area. We rarely turn on the lights in the corridor. We only turned on the lights on those days, so my husband didn't
I realized there was a power outage."
It was precisely because the corridor was dark that the faint red light outside the window attracted the attention of the half-asleep and half-awake boss.
"How long has the power been out?" Xia Hua asked.
"It's very short, just a few minutes," the boss's wife replied, "I guess it's about five minutes. I was shocked because even my phone screen suddenly went black. I was about to walk to the door.
I went to see what was going on outside, then I opened the door and the lights came on again."
"The screen of the mobile phone is also black?" The fool frowned, "How can a power outage affect the mobile phone?"
"I...I didn't pay attention at the time," the boss lady seemed to have just thought of this. Fear suddenly filled her eyes, "Maybe... maybe I was scared and accidentally locked the screen.
Come on..."
Seeing that the landlady was really scared, Qin Yin hurriedly comforted her, "That's probably it. Sister, don't scare yourself. What happened next?"
"After that... nothing unusual happened," the landlady wiped away cold sweat, "Then... within a few days, the smell came out. My husband called the police, and then all the bodies in the house were discovered.
…”
"Didn't you find anything else?" Xia Hua asked.
The landlady blinked twice quickly, paused for a while, and then said, "No more."
"Then...why are you so worried about us?" Xia Hua keenly caught the hesitation in the landlady's eyes. She stared straight into the landlady's eyes and asked.
The landlady swallowed lightly and rubbed the registration list in her hand with her two fingers.
"I don't know...I don't know if I should tell you..."
Those words again.
"Oh," Qin Yin quickly stood up on tiptoes and patted the back of the landlady's hand across the front desk, "Sister, you have told us so many things, and you don't miss these few words."
The landlady took another peek in the direction of the corridor.
"Your husband won't come," the fool immediately moved his position, "Don't be afraid, I'll keep an eye on you."
"One more thing is..." The proprietress seemed to want to talk to someone about this matter, and was quickly persuaded, "Ever since my husband and I came back from identifying the body, I have been having nightmares..."
"Nightmare?"
"Well," the landlady's eyes were extremely serious, "and all my nightmares have the same content, which is... a man talking to me."
The three of them looked at each other.
"What's so scary?" the fool asked, "Is that man scary?"
"Maybe it looks the same as which corpse?" Qin Yin also asked.
But the landlady shook her head, "I actually can't see clearly what he looks like. It was always hazy in my dream. I can only tell that he is a man, and his voice is also a man's."
"That means what he said is terrible?" the fool asked.
"I...I couldn't hear what he said clearly," the landlady's voice became smaller and smaller, "But I felt...that person seemed to have something urgent to tell me, and I just...I was a little scared."
What's going on?
Xia Hua also began to think deeply.
"My husband said that I was scared by those corpses. He said so, and I didn't dare to mention it again. After all, I have a daughter, and I was afraid that I would scare her, so I didn't tell her.
Others... But I found that I would only have that dream when I was sleeping at night, so after that, I was basically on duty at night... Have you ever seen such a thing? "
Fool and Qin Yin looked at Xia Hua.
"Sister," Xia Hua said after a few seconds, "First of all, you don't have to worry. If it's just a dream, it shouldn't be a big problem."
The landlady breathed a sigh of relief, then became nervous again, "You mean... there is really something dirty?"
"Do you believe those things really exist?" Xia Hua smiled.
"I..." the boss lady choked, "They often say these things, but I always feel... this shouldn't happen to me. After all, I... I haven't done anything wrong."
"Sister, that's the truth," Xia Hua smiled and nodded, "No matter whether there is something dirty or not, and you haven't done anything wrong, what are you worried about?"
"You...you make sense," the landlady gradually began to smile, "I'm not a bad person, what am I worried about?"
Xia Hua nodded calmly, "Sister, if there is nothing else, we will set off."
"Well, no... wait a minute," the landlady suddenly remembered something, squatted down at the counter and rummaged around, "I have a few here... just wait a minute, ah, I found them."
The landlady straightened up again and had a small red cloth bag in her hand.
"We went to the temple here to ask for this," the proprietress handed the small cloth bag to them, "Take this."
"What's so good about this?" Qin Yin took half a step back, "Sister, this is too valuable. What will you do if we take this?"
"There is another one at the counter. We have asked for three in total." The proprietress leaned out and stuffed the bag into Qin Yin's hand, "Just take it. The master in the temple said that there are pieces of bloody rhinoceros horn in it, but
Being spiritual can keep you safe."
The landlady looked at the three people closely, her pupils filled with pure worry.
A wave of warmth spread to Qin Yin's heart along the landlady's hand. She became embarrassed in a rare way. She shyly held the bag in her hand, raised her eyes and said, "Thank you, sister. I'll return it to you when we get back."
"It's...it's true that I have to pay it back."
The landlady scratched the back of her head humorously, and the four of them laughed together.
After greetings, the three of them finally went out. The landlady was not surprised when she saw them walking towards the mansion.
"It seems that the eldest sister has guessed that we are going to Qiqiao Mansion," Xia Hua said, "He is a really good person. Not only is he nice, he is also very smart."
"Then what's going on in her dream?" Qin Yin was blown by the night wind and quickly closed her coat, "Is something really wrong?"
"It often happens that the deceased falls into dreams, but according to my experience, if the deceased has a relatively strong spirit, they usually choose a method that can directly affect the living to fulfill their last wishes," Xia Hua said, "
If it is just a dream, then either the soul of the deceased is very weak and will disappear on its own soon, or the deceased has no ill intentions and is just joking."
"Are you kidding?" Qin Yin asked, "Are there such boring dead people?"
"Have you forgotten the rules of the boundary monument?" said the fool. "The deceased who have no return need to first figure out how they died, and then break their obsessions before they can find the boundary monument. This process is quite long. Before they can
When you don’t understand anything, what else can you do besides wandering around?”
These words made Xia Hua look at the two of them with admiration.
"You guys really shouldn't be underestimated," Xia Hua nodded and said, "I still underestimated you before."
Fool and Qin Yin were stunned for a moment, then they both put on smiling faces, "No...Sister Hua...you should look down on us...we are just a bunch of noobs..."
Xia Hua ignored the talkative duo. The three of them turned a corner and raised their eyes. Qiqiao Mansion was right in front of them.
Facing the main street is the main entrance of the mansion. The main entrance is painted vermilion. Under the illumination of the dim street lamp, it looks like it is dyed red by blood. There are two seals diagonally attached to the door, which are yellowish.
The seal, the black ink stains, and the blood-red cinnabar door all tell the story of the tragic events that happened here.
Xia Hua looked around at the traces left by their vanguard to climb over the wall, and planned to climb in from the same place, but Qin Yin started to warm up eagerly.
"It's not easy to climb this wall," the fool crossed his arms, "I can do it myself, but..."
"Don't worry, just look at me." Qin Yin moved her wrists and neck, "I'll take you through it."
"Ah? Have you recovered?"
"It's only a few meters away, why did you send them in?" Qin Yin sprayed a breath of fairy energy into the palms of both hands, "Xiaolan should have sent them in. Little girls can do it, what can't I do? Chong.
!”
***
Xiaolan turned around suddenly and looked at the strange scenery behind her.
The house was dark, except for a few flashlights they secretly lit.
The house is spacious and grand, comparable to the Xuanji Bureau. Through the flowers and trees around the buildings, it is not difficult to imagine how exquisite and luxurious this place was when it was alive. However, after all the people in the house died, it seems that even the bonsai on the balcony was stained.
The aura of death, in this dark night, looked even more shadowy and terrifying.
Xiaolan shuddered, and goosebumps stood up on her body. Fortunately, Baomu spoke, and the deathly aura directed towards her gradually dissipated.
"The smell of this room is similar," Baomu waved his hand in front of his face with a very uncomfortable expression, "It smells like corpse."
"Brother Baomu's ability is really amazing," Miaozhen said as he looked at Baomu in admiration, "I only smell dust."
Baomu was embarrassed, "No, it's just..."
"Here!" At this time, the Taoist priest who had been rummaging in the corner suddenly shouted, "There is something here."
