Nightmare Apostle

Fang Zhou and Lou Huiyang seemed to have had all their strength drained from their bodies. Their legs softened and they sat on the ground one after another, with heavy beads of cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the matter was not over yet. They cheered up and returned the ghost door gods in their hands to their original positions.

At the same time, Jiang Qingluan and Chang Chuchu also invited the door god back to the door. After the female ghost in the well walked out of the door,

The well that appeared in their room also disappeared.

"The end... is it over?" Fang Zhou, who had narrowly escaped death, was still looking at everything in front of him in disbelief. He had really walked through the gate of hell, which was worse than walking alone in Hulin Ghost Wall. Much scarier.

Standing up with difficulty, he subconsciously stayed away from the saliva beside him, and the sinister aura coming out of his mouth was gone.

"Don't get too close. The ghost is not dead. It was just suppressed temporarily. It won't be long before it appears again." Nalan Shuo came over.

Hearing this, Fangzhou's relaxed mood was instantly destroyed, and his face turned pale. Seeing this, Nalan Shuo stepped forward, patted his shoulder gently, and comforted: "But you don't have to worry, at least after we leave. It’ll be fine before now.”

"That's not necessarily the case." The next second, Xiang Fengchen, who had a cold face, also walked over. At this moment, his sleeves were stained red with blood, and there were specks of blood on his body and face. He had no aura of superiority at all. Look. He was quite embarrassed, "If there is another idiot like Zhang Songde, all of us will be killed by him!"

"Tell me what's going on?" Xiang Fengchen carefully took back the tortoise shell that fell on the ground, raised his hand, and pointed out the Ark directly.

Lou Huiyang, who was standing aside, was so frightened that his eyes twitched when he heard this, and then he looked at Fang Zhou with an almost pleading look. After all, he and Zhang Songde did the thing, and they were the ones who forced Fang Zhou to lie behind the door and watch.

The consequences of this incident were disastrous, almost killing everyone. Once Xiang Fengchen and Nalan Shuo knew about this incident, Lou Huiyang knew that his end would be very ugly.

But what surprised Lou Huiyang was that Fang Zhou didn't mention what he did at all, but put all the blame on Zhang Songde. It was Zhang Songde who didn't believe Yang Xiao's words and insisted on lying behind the door to watch, which attracted the ghost. As for him and Lou Huiyang, their efforts to persuade him were fruitless, but due to Zhang Songde's arrogant power, they really had no choice.

"Forget it, you are a young man. Lou Huiyang, you have been a disciple of the Black Buddha Mother for so many years. Why are you so clueless?

Can't you tell the difference between the pros and cons? "Without any hesitation, Xiang Fengchen turned his head and spoke directly in front of everyone.

Revealed Lou Huiyang's background.

Even so, Lou Huiyang did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction. He could see that Xiang Fengchen's mood had been depressed to the extreme. He did not want to get into trouble and took the initiative to step forward to vent his anger.

"Senior Xiang and Brother Lou have tried their best, but Zhang Songde is just a bastard. He really can't help it." Fang Zhou tried his best to help ease the situation.

"Yes, yes, that's true. Brother Fang and I have tried our best. It was all caused by that bastard Zhang Songde." Lou Huiyang explained nervously.

With Fang Zhou testifying and everyone helping to smooth things over, Xiang Fengchen was finally able to suppress his anger. Not only did he almost lose his life trying to solve tonight's troubles, but he also lost one of his middle fingers. This was a huge loss. In any case, tonight's disaster was temporarily over. At this time, the abnormalities around him gradually recovered, the dark clouds dispersed, and the bright moonlight shone down again.

"Miss Jiang, I'm sorry. I did it out of desperation. Please forgive me." Yang Xiao stepped forward and apologized to Jiang Qingluan seriously. He smashed the door late at night and threatened to tear the door god apart, forcing the other party to die together. , this matter is not done well.

Jiang Qingwan looked at him, her expression neither sad nor happy, "I've punished you, and that kick will be your compensation."

Sure enough, Jiang Qingluan didn't mess around because he was a sensible person. If she didn't take action tonight,

The result would be that Yang Xiao, and the two experienced seniors Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen would be in danger, and at least one or two people would die.

It would be okay if the person who died was Yang Xiao, but if it was Nalan Shuo and Xiang Fengchen, then this would be an unbearable loss for the entire team.

So Yang Xiao was right in what he said. If you come out to help him, you are helping yourself. Before Jiang Qingluan understood this truth, he also disliked Yang Xiao for blocking the door and getting in the way.

Jiang Qingluan was decisive in killing, and Yang Xiao did not want to offend her. After settling the misunderstanding between the two, he looked at Chang Chuchu again. At this time, the slap marks on Chang Chuchu's face had not faded, and Baba Wen was aggrieved and helpless. Look at him.

"Miss Chang, you have been wronged." Yang Xiao said truthfully.

Chang Chuchu stared at him, biting her lips and not saying a word.

Yang Xiao couldn't bear the look in his eyes. He thought that Jiang Qingluan had been a little more aggressive in order to persuade Chang Chuchu to help.

"Brother Yang, are you okay?" Fang Zhou had a good impression of this man who was willing to help him in the earth temple.

"It's okay. It's all thanks to you this time. Thank you very much." Yang Xiao smiled, imitating Nalan Shuo's example, and patted Fangzhou on the shoulder.

"You're too polite, but..." Fang Zhou smiled bitterly and lowered his voice: "Brother Yang, you don't know, I was scared to death when I saw that ghost just now."

The troubles of tonight were solved. The ghost gate god and the door god returned to their positions. Nalan Shuo returned to the courtyard gate again, and the half of the upper body lying outside the door was gone. Only a pool of wet and sticky liquid was left on the ground.

Nalan Shuo was not surprised by this, but he accidentally saw a small shining thing in the pool of mucus, like a string of beads.

This should have fallen from the female ghost. With Nalan Shuo's reminder, everyone quickly gathered behind the courtyard gate, but no one dared to go out. After all, everyone saw the end of the ghost. Ghosts would be cut in half, let alone people.

You are allowed to enter but not leave. This is also one of the rules tonight. The evil degree of these two human skin door gods is even worse than the ghost gate gods.

However, not going out does not mean that they cannot get the beads. Nalan Shuo tore open the bag and spliced ​​it into a 5-meter-long rope. He tied an angular stone to one end of the rope, then stood behind the door and threw the rope hard, hitting it just near the beads.

Then he retracted the rope little by little. After only three attempts, he successfully hooked the beads back.

It was only when the distance was close that Yang Xiao could clearly see that it was not a string of beads, but a string of sewn and spliced ​​jade pendants.

Pulling the jade pendant all the way into the yard, Nalan Shuo did not act rashly, but first grabbed a lot of soil and buried the jade pendant with soil until it looked like a small hill. However, no matter how Yang Xiao looked at it, he felt that it looked more like a grave.

After finishing, Nalan Shuo stretched out his hand to Xiang Fengchen, and Xiang Fengchen did not hesitate to take out the remaining small piece of incense from his arms. Nalan Shuo took it and lit it with a fire stick, and respectfully stuck it into the soil.

"Burying evil and asking for directions." Jiang Qingluan said softly.

"Not bad, you have some knowledge." Xiang Fengchen was very optimistic about this girl and could not help but nodded.

Nalan Shuo stared at the small half of the incense until not long after, when the incense burned out, there was no abnormality in the incense mist, which meant that this thing was still safe.

Pull out the incense head with your hand, push the soil clockwise, and take out the jade pendant from the bottom. The jade pendant was sewn on a piece of tattered cloth, and the edge was badly damaged, looking like it was torn off from a piece of clothing.

"It's a female official's pendant." Lifting the jade pendant to the moonlight, Nalan Shuo said where this thing came from.

Although female officials cannot attend court, they also have ranks and identities, and this female official pendant is one of the few items that can prove the identity of female officials. It is also a symbol of status. People who know the business can determine the rank of female officials by the number, quality, and sewing method of the jade pendant.

And it is obvious that Xiang Fengchen among them is a master in this.

"Seven-tailed dragon and fish pattern pendant." Xiang Fengchen stared at the jade pendant, rubbing it gently with his hand and couldn't help but take a deep breath, "This person's status is not low, she is a third-rank female official."

This answer coincides with Yang Xiao's previous guess. Obviously, the female official who died in the well was one of the eleven guardians enshrined in the land temple, that is, one of the loyal ministers and generals who died to protect their old master.

According to the old beggar, this land temple is the Loyalty Temple, which was built by the people of the Earl's Mansion to seek peace of mind and avoid the entanglement of wronged souls, but Yang Xiao vaguely felt that things were not that simple.
