Alienated Martial Arts

Butler Quan is missing.

A large living person disappeared without any warning, leaving no clues or traces.

It was as if he had never been to this abandoned manor.

Wei Tao searched for the past everywhere.

There was no one inside or outside.

Only the puppets in the room doing different things stayed there quietly, as if silently laughing at their ignorance and stupidity.

Gudong!

Ou Yinglian's throat surged and her face turned pale.

He didn't dare to say a word, waiting for the punishment from the deacon.

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain, sound in the east and strike in the west."

Wei Tao slowly said, "I have to say that we made a mistake."

He glanced at the two of them, his tone still gentle, "You don't have to blame yourself, there is definitely more than one person on the other side, and their strength is not simple.

Even if the two of you stay here, you may not be able to withstand the enemy's sneak attack without warning, and you may even be trapped in it. "

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but fall silent.

The strange figure appeared before his eyes again.

From being in the Fang family's mansion before to being outside the manor wall just now.

There was a figure standing there with long hair hanging down and a twisted posture.

The other party remained motionless, just staring at them.

Most of his eyes were covered by messy hair, but the exposed areas were bloodshot and bright red.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Ou Yinglian calmed down and began to think about the next steps.

Wei Tao did not answer, but turned to look at Gan Liang who was deep in thought, "Mr. Gan, how do you think the next response is more appropriate?"

Gan Liang frowned, "The situation at this time is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the open. If they can't hide, I won't be able to think of any way to lure the snake out of the hole."

"So from the old man's point of view, the only thing left is to wait. As long as the other party makes other moves, it is possible that the opponent's feet will be exposed and we will be caught."

Wei Tao nodded, "What Mr. Gan said makes sense, so where to wait next becomes the next question that must be decided."

Gan Liang looked inside the room and his eyes fell on the face of the skinned doll that was lying motionless. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

“If we stay here, if something happens again in the gold tanning farm, we won’t be able to rush back in time to deal with it.

But if we return to the gold tanning field, I am worried that this is really an enemy stronghold. Once we leave, we will..."

He suddenly fell silent.

His expression was a little uncertain, and he looked around.

"Sir, have you heard the whimpering?"

Gan Liang listened intently, as if searching for the source of the sound.

A touch of light green quietly appeared between the eyebrows, and the temples on both sides were beating at the same time.

It is obvious that the eyebrow mind has been opened.

"No."

Wei Tao held his breath and concentrated, but he only heard the sound of the wind and the rustling rain. There was no whimpering at all.

Ou Yinglian also slowly shook his head, "I didn't hear it either. Could it be that Mr. Gan heard it wrong?"

Gan Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked a little tired.

"Maybe I heard it wrong, but the cry of dozens of people just now was really weird.

Especially when I open my eyebrows and mind and feel it carefully, it feels like there are many people surrounding me whimpering softly.

It's almost like being in a ghostly state. "

"Are there really ghosts in this world?"

Ou Yinglian felt a little scared, staring at the motionless skinned doll in the room, as if it would come to life in the next moment.

"I don't know if there are ghosts."

Gan Liang sighed leisurely, "When I was a child, I always listened to stories about monsters and ghosts in the village, so I became afraid of the dark and ghosts.

When I grew up, I practiced martial arts. I dared to walk alone in the wilderness and sleep in graveyards at night. At that time, I felt that there were no ghosts in the world.

As a result, now that I am older, I still hope that the existence of ghosts can give me some hope for the days after my old age.

Otherwise, it will be all in vain when we arrive. Thinking about it, we feel that there is really great terror between life and death. "

Ou Yinglian also sighed, "Although I am still young, I am starting to feel a little scared after hearing what Elder Gan said."

Click!

The cold light flashed suddenly.

While the two were talking, Wei Tao had already cut the skinned doll into two pieces.

The contents inside were scattered all over the floor.

Except for a few straws, most of them were indeed bright red hair, covering a large area of ​​the ground.

Soon after, all the dolls in other rooms were split open and fell apart, and the straw hair stuffed inside were all exposed.

"Well, after destroying these things, it will look much better."

Wei Tao threw the long knife back to Gan Liang, turned and walked out of the house, "Whether they are humans or ghosts, if these skinned dolls are really important, then I can wait for them to come to me with peace of mind.

Even if it's not important to those guys, we can still make a verification using the elimination method, and we won't lose anything. "

After exiting this row of houses, there is a straight road paved with stone slabs.

Leading to the rear garden.

Thick vegetation grows on both sides of the road.

You can still vaguely see what the original plan looked like.

It just looked a bit messy and dilapidated because no one had taken care of it for a long time.

There are no more flowers in the garden, leaving only the rockery standing silently in the continuous rain, mixed with the surrounding semi-yellow and green tones, giving people a dark and gloomy feeling.

Click!

Wei Tao stepped on a dead branch, frightening the rats that were looking for food not far away, and disappeared into a hole in the ground.

He continued forward through the garden and came to the door of a lonely ancestral hall.

It seems much cleaner here, unlike other places that are overgrown and rundown.

Holding the bamboo hat on the armrest, Wei Tao asked, "Mr. Gan, when you inspected it before, was there incense burning in this furnace?"

Gan Liang came up to take a look, and his expression suddenly changed, "Sir, I can confirm that these incense did not exist before."

After a pause, he continued, "My subordinates just found the stone tablet here, but they ignored the environment around the ancestral hall.

If it had been left unattended for a long time, this ancestral hall would not be what it is now. "

For a manor that has been abandoned for a long time, it is unusual for the ancestral hall to still have incense.

But looking at the decline of other places, this is not consistent with the situation of permanent residence.

The only possibility is that the manor is unoccupied.

But some people come back from time to time to pay their respects and clean up the inside and outside of the ancestral hall.

After coming out of the ancestral hall, several people carefully inspected other places.

But nothing more was discovered.

It's getting late.

Wei Tao left the manor, took one last look at the broken stone lion in front of the door, and quickly disappeared into the wind and rain.

……………………

The night is dark.

The gold tanning field in the dark looked particularly eerie and quiet.

Miss Fang had a bad appetite and only ate a bowl of porridge and rice at night.

Before going to bed, I felt a little hungry, so I got dressed and went out, preparing to find someone to get some snacks to satisfy my hunger.

Somewhat beyond her expectation, the maid who was supposed to live next door was not in the house.

The corridor was dark.

Even if there is a lantern on the corner, it cannot illuminate everything.

A whirlwind blew past, carrying a large amount of water mist, and instantly blew out the two lanterns.

Miss Fang shivered and hesitated whether to continue looking for food.

After a moment, she finally made her choice.

Continue walking towards the kitchen.

There was no sound in the entire courtyard.

Apart from the sound of wind and rain, there was only the sound of her footsteps.

"Miss, where are you going?"

Suddenly, a faint female voice sounded from behind.

Miss Fang was suddenly startled, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

"Xiaohuan, why do you walk so quietly like a cat? You almost made me sick."

"Where did you go, you damn girl? I didn't see anyone in your house just now."

She turned around coquettishly, and the smile on her face suddenly solidified.

Snap!

An oil lamp fell to the ground in his hand.

The hot oil spread quickly, igniting a blazing flame.

Miss Fang's eyes were frightened and she stepped back step by step.

"Thin-skinned, thin-skinned, that's what it means!"

She stared intently at the thin human skin illuminated by the firelight and the rich darkness covered by the human skin, her mind almost going blank.

"Miss, what do you want to eat?"

"Slave, I'll get it for you right now."

Xiaohuan's tone was faint, sounding from the darkness behind the human skin.

"Go away, go away!"

Miss Fang screamed, tripped over herself, and crawled backwards using her hands and feet.

"Miss, don't run away, tell me."

"If you don't tell me, how will I know what you want to eat?"

The human skin is swaying, pressing forward step by step.

Miss Fang screamed and closed her eyes.

At this moment, the news suddenly started.

A figure wearing a raincoat stood in the courtyard.

He raised his bamboo hat slightly and looked towards Miss Fang who was screaming in terror in the corridor.
