Nightmare Apostle

Sure enough, it was the thief who shouted to catch the thief, and the real ghost was Gong Banlan. Maybe it was inappropriate to say that. To be precise, the real Gong Banlan was dead. She was replaced by the ghost during the exorcism ceremony.

Even without the action of slapping the wall, Gong Banlan's words are not convincing at all. After all, even if she takes such an unfavorable path, it will be fine. Nalan Shuo, an old fritter, will die if she wants to. No one else can do it. Believe easily.

Yang Xiaoxiang and Fengchen didn't dare to breathe, but judging from the way the ghost patted the "door", it didn't find the whereabouts of the two of them and thought they were hiding in the room.

What Yang Xiao is most worried about now is that the next person will suddenly come. Once he encounters a ghost, if the person who comes refuses to tell anyone, it may cause a series of unnecessary troubles.

Time passed by. After "Gong Banlan" took pictures of the wall for a minute, he seemed to realize that he had been discovered. He suddenly stopped talking and stared coldly at the wall in front of him for a few seconds. Then he turned around and walked stiffly. He walked towards the courtyard gate.

From beginning to end, "Gong Banlan" never approached the other two rooms, or even looked at them.

Watching "Gong Banlan" leave, Yang Xiao felt more and more weird as he looked at her. It was obvious that her movements were stiff,

The rest was fine, but for some reason, there was a very uncoordinated feeling, until Xiang Fengchen on the side stretched out his hand and pointed at the feet of "Gong Banlan".

The next second, Yang Xiao's narrowed eyes slowly widened, and the thin moonlight cast a shadow on the ground. The movements of the shadow were not completely consistent with "himself", and the swings of his arms and steps were even more strange. The lower body is filled with a sense of dissonance, as if it has been spliced ​​together, and the shadow is much bulkier than the "person".

Just when Yang Xiao thought the ghost would leave, something strange happened. The ghost who had walked less than 5 meters away from the courtyard gate suddenly turned his head without warning and looked straight at the hiding place where he and Xiang Fengchen were. The moment their eyes crossed, a wave of cold air rose from the ground, along the soles of the feet, and straight to the sky, and the mind went blank.

"Discovered...

Now there is no point in worrying about why he was discovered. The ghost has turned around and walked towards him, more than twice as fast as before. But at this moment, Yang Xiao seemed to be frozen, his hands and feet were cold and he couldn't move at all.

The approaching footsteps of "Cha, Cha, Cha" were like a note of urgency. With the last bit of strength, he moved his eyes away, avoiding looking at the ghost, and looked at his feet. He had been exposed, and he couldn't hide here. He stepped back very lightly and there was a tree behind him.

He was wise enough not to hide where Xiang Fengchen was hiding. There was no need for the trouble he caused to implicate another person. Even if he died and Xiang Fengchen was left to cooperate with the director, they would have a great chance to kill him from this mission. go out.

As for whether the director would be angry with Xiang Fengchen and die with him because of his own death, this was not a question that Yang Xiao could consider.

He retreated all the way, touched the tree, and immediately hid behind the tree. However, the footsteps did not stop, but got closer and closer. Yang Xiao did not dare to look up. He was blocking, and the gambler could only find him. Where he was hiding just now, he was betting that Xiang Fengchen would save him at the critical moment.

"X" Cha Cha Cha's footsteps were very close, and he had already arrived near the tree where he was hiding before. Yang Xiao lowered his head and stared at the instep of his feet. He didn't dare to raise his head at all. He could only judge the location of the ghost by listening to the sound. But what he couldn't figure out was that the ghost didn't come to him. The footsteps were very strange, as if they were going in circles around a certain place.

Yang Xiao held his breath, not daring to breathe out. It took about a few minutes, maybe shorter. Under the huge pressure, he had lost his accurate judgment of time. Suddenly, he heard a discordant noise.

“Crunch one by one”

It was like an old door being pushed open forcefully.

The direction... was exactly where the courtyard gate was. The scene he least wanted to see before finally happened. The next person came.

He didn't know who it was, but no matter who it was, he was dead. He just hoped it wasn't Director Nalan.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps walked straight towards the courtyard door, which also made Yang Xiao's tense heartstrings relax a little. He was saved. Someone successfully attracted the ghost's attention away, and that person would also pay the price with his life.

But the footsteps of the ghost went further and further away from the courtyard gate until they completely disappeared. Yang Xiao did not hear any unusual sounds. There were no screams, no panic, no killing, no smell of blood, nothing, nothing happened. .

Yang Xiao still didn't raise his head. He had seen a lot of ghosts' cunning. He suspected that this was a trap set by the ghost. The ghost had not left, but was nearby. As soon as he raised his head, the ghost would be able to lock his position and immediately kill him. Kill.

He didn't move, but there were steps approaching from the right, "It's gone, it's okay." It was Xiang Fengchen's voice, behind him, his voice was very low, but there was a feeling of relief.

Yang Xiao remained motionless and didn't answer. He lowered his head like a puppet.

"You are so cautious, you are so difficult to kill..." Xiang Fengchen was also dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

She had no choice but to use force on Yang Xiao's neck to make him turn around and look at her, "Look, it's me. If I hadn't taken action just now, your life would have been at stake."

Thinking that ghosts wouldn't do things like necks, Yang Xiao confirmed Xiang Fengchen's identity. He slowly exhaled and looked behind the tree where he had hidden before. He saw many strange footprints left around the tree. , in a circle, and behind the tree, there is a short incense stick inserted diagonally, but the incense is almost burned out at this moment.

Undoubtedly, it was this incense stick that saved him.

"The resentment of that ghost is in its eyes, don't look at it." The previous scene also shocked Xiang Fengchen into a cold sweat.

After walking to the tree before, Yang Xiao squatted down and pulled out the incense, only to see that the tail was inserted into the soil for nearly two centimeters.

This incense was thrown out by Xiang Fengchen after lighting it. He could throw the incense accurately several meters away, and it could also be inserted into the soil without breaking. This is not an ordinary difficulty. Fengchen also had a lot of skill in his skills. It's not just a wise general.

"Thank you, Senior Xiang." Yang Xiao turned around and solemnly thanked him. No matter what grievances Xiang Fengchen had with his director before, this time he really saved himself. This feeling deserves the title of "Senior".

"It's okay, you and I don't have to be polite." Xiang Fengchen twirled his beard, which was quite helpful.

"Senior, I heard the door open before, and then the ghost left. What happened? Who is here?" Yang Xiao asked while the iron was hot.

Xiang Fengchen raised his chin and motioned to the courtyard door. The one on the left they had completely pushed open before.

The door on the right was just a pass-through, but now, the door on the right has been completely pushed open, and the door is open, and the road outside can be seen.

"No one is here, it's the Baifu Gate God." Xiang Fengchen sighed, with a hint of gloom between his brows, "Now things are in trouble. Before, people were allowed in but not allowed out. Now, the same is true for ghosts."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that from now on, if a ghost walks in, it will not be able to get out. It will stay with us until dawn." Xiang Fengchen whispered.

"Then if some of the remaining people are replaced, wouldn't we be doomed tonight?" Yang Xiao was shocked.

"It's a bit troublesome." The current situation also made Xiang Fengchen, who had experienced big scenes, feel troubled. He was waiting for Nalan Shuo to come.

After discussion, the two decided to stay put and hide here. After all, no one knew whether the next person to come was a human or a ghost.

Not long after, Yang Xiao suddenly heard a very light friction sound. At first, he thought it was the rustling of fallen leaves in the wind, but soon he realized something was wrong. The sound came from far away and closer, and finally... Stopped not far behind him.

But there was nothing behind him, only a green courtyard wall as tall as a person. Yang Xiao subconsciously turned around.

However, Xiang Fengchen, who came from beside him, pressed him down. Yang Xiao immediately understood and remained motionless, not daring to breathe.

Komi...

There seemed to be something crawling on the wall behind me.

Yang Xiao resisted the pressure and took out a stick of incense he had hidden in his possession, broke it into two pieces, lit it with a fire stick, held one stick in his mouth, and the other stick was taken away by Xiang Fengchen, who also held it in his mouth. The lips were in place like two mallets.

After half a minute of calm, the thing that made the strange noise behind him left, and Kou's voice gradually faded away until it disappeared.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Xiang Fengchen didn't move, and Yang Xiao didn't dare to move. It wasn't until almost three minutes later that the incense was about to burn his lips. Xiang Fengchen slowly raised his hand, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and shook off the baggage. Behind the skin, a small mirror with sharp edges was revealed.

This is a fragment of a bronze mirror. It was obtained by breaking the bronze mirror in the room. Yang Xiao had seen it before. Xiang Fengchen slowly raised the bronze mirror, pointed it behind the two of them, and constantly adjusted the angle of the bronze mirror. Until it is aimed at the top of the courtyard wall.

The next second, Xiang Fengchen's hand holding the lens trembled slightly. In the broken bronze mirror, a bloated ghost figure was lying on the courtyard wall behind the two of them. The rotten ghost face stared down at them coldly.

The incense burned his lips, and Yang Xiao twitched in pain, but he still didn't dare to make a sound, let alone open his mouth.

After losing his temper, the stalemate continued for another half minute. Finally, the rotten ghost crawled away in an extremely weird posture.

As Xiang Fengchen spit out the fragrance in his mouth, Yang Xiao's lips were scalded and swollen. On the other hand, Xiang Fengchen looked good. The fragrance of both of them was about the same length. Yang Xiao suspected that he had some kind of knack.

"Did you see clearly?" Xiang Fengchen whispered.

"That ghost looks very similar to Gong Banlan." Although it was a rotting ghost face, the general outline could still be seen clearly, and he was sure that the ghost was definitely not Gong Banlan.

Thinking that there was more than one ghost in the Earl's Mansion, Yang Xiao immediately thought of the statues in the "Temple of the Earth".

He suspected that the ghosts in the Earl's Mansion were the prototypes of the sculptures, the former loyal men who were brutally killed by the old marquis.

The sound of footsteps interrupted Yang Xiao's thoughts. The footsteps were outside the courtyard door. Someone was coming again. A figure cautiously walked into the door. With the help of the lantern hanging outside the door, Yang Xiao could see clearly. The person who came was Zhang Songde. This person was here. After looking around in the courtyard for a while, he noticed the room on the far left, where Yang Xiao lived. He was obviously attracted by the two door gods posted on the wall, but he did not get closer. Instead, after watching for a while, he chose to go back to himself first. room.

After arriving at the door, he was not in a hurry to open the door. Instead, he put his ear against the door and listened for a while. After confirming that there was no movement, he knocked again. His knocking movements were quite weird, like Following a certain rhythm, at the same time, Yang Xiao heard a strange singing tune, mixed with some dialects, and some foreign words that he couldn't hear clearly.

"Burmese, he's from the Yin Temple." Staring at Zhang Songde's movements, Xiang Fengchen, who was hiding behind the tree, frowned slightly, "No, this person's kung fu is not good enough. He's not a Yin Zhu from the temple, he should be I have learned a little from others and only know a little bit.”

In any case, it's good to be sure it's a human being. This Zhang Songde is also a cautious person, and he pays so much attention when entering the door.

"What is the Yin Temple?" Yang Xiao asked in a low voice. He was also interested in the mysterious Zhang Songde. "A force entrenched in the third-party zone in northern Myanmar and Thailand. There are many capable people in it and their methods are very evil.

No one wants to mess with them. Xiang Fengchen explained in a low voice.

"Is it strong?"

"Yes." Xiang Fengchen nodded with a rare seriousness, "Let's put it this way, the patrol department is recognized as the strongest in the country.

The Federation and the Chamber of Commerce are three major forces, and in northern Myanmar and Thailand, the Yin Temple is the sky in the Sanjia area. Even if the three major domestic forces want to interfere in the affairs there, they must worship this local snake first, otherwise they will not be able to play. change. "

"The high priest of the Yin Temple is very clever. Thirty years ago, he ate a batch of goods smuggled there by the Chamber of Commerce. The big shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce brought people to ask for it but failed. In the end, they fought. I don't know the outcome, but It is true that the goods are not coming back. " Xiang Fengchen knows far more about these Jianghu matters than Yang Xiao. If you want to live long in the Jianghu, you must not only have the means, but also have a vision. At least you must know who you are provoking. No one to mess with.

"The Chamber of Commerce is one of our own, and one of our own has been robbed. Won't the Patrol Department and the Federation come forward to help?" Yang Xiao asked.

Hearing this, Xiang Fengchen suddenly became happy, and then looked at him with a half-smiling look, and asked in a low voice: "How do you guess that batch of goods from the Chamber of Commerce was lost?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Xiao understood that this transaction was disturbed by the Patrol Department or the Federation. One of the two families, or both together, leaked the news to the Yin Temple. resulting in the goods being robbed.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Yin Temple does not dare to monopolize the stolen items. According to the rules, part of it must be given to these two families, so that the business can last for a long time.

"The door is open." Yang Xiao suddenly discovered.

As Zhang Songde pushed the door open, he immediately stepped aside, moved out of the way, knelt down on the left side of the door, and kowtowed his head on the ground, his attitude becoming more and more respectful, as if he wanted to send something out of the room.

But the next second, Yang Xiao saw Xiang Fengchen's face change instantly, "This idiot knelt down on his knees. This is not sending ghosts, this is inviting ghosts!!"
