Nightmare Apostle

"Kill the donkey after it has done its job?"

Yang Xiao's heartbeat quickened. He did not dare to look back, fearing that the situation would deteriorate further. However, Nalan Shuo, who was walking beside him, deliberately slowed down his pace and gradually fell behind him. Yang Xiao knew that Director Nalan also realized that something was wrong.

This was to protect him.

At the same time, Xiang Fengchen and Jiang Qingluan also made their own countermeasures. There were four martial artists behind them, and they also had four people. Four against four, even if the other party had weapons, it was hard to say who would win or lose. Of course, the premise was that they had to take the initiative.

Yang Xiao was also ready. He was waiting for the signal from Nalan Shuo or Xiang Fengchen. Frankly speaking, it was completely helpless to take action at this moment, and even if they killed these four martial artists and a maid, what was the use?

The Earl's Mansion was the local emperor of Fushou Village. They could command the government troops. For just these few people, killing a chicken was an exaggeration.

This was the reason why Xiang Fengchen and Nalan Shuo were reluctant to take action. After all, once they took action, there would be no room for easing.

Yang Xiao couldn't figure out why the people in the Earl's Mansion wanted to kill them. And if they wanted to kill them, they didn't need to trick them out. They were inside the high walls of the Earl's Mansion. If a dozen martial artists came to kill them, they would be finished. There was no need to do this.

Besides, if they died like this, then this mission was too outrageous. It was clearly not leaving them a chance to survive.

After thinking it over again and again, Yang Xiao calmed down and decided to wait and see.

The atmosphere along the way was very depressing. Yang Xiao could even hear the heartbeat of someone around him. Finally, the maid who led the way stopped, and at this moment they also walked into the depths of the Earl's Mansion. In front of them was an old courtyard.

It was also at this moment that Yang Xiao recognized that they had been here before. It was the courtyard where they bathed in the Earl's Mansion on the first night. There was also a two-story attic in the courtyard.

After walking into the courtyard with a determined mood, the door behind them closed immediately. The maid turned around. At this moment, four martial artists holding knives stood behind them with indifference, like executioners who would execute at any time.

"My ancestor was attacked by an evil spirit last night. Now we suspect that the evil spirit followed you into the house. Now please take off your clothes. We need to check." The maid said coldly, with a businesslike look.

"Here?" Jiang Qingluan couldn't help but frowned.

"No, go to the Golden Chamber." The maid turned her body and raised her hand to point to the two-story attic not far away. Although it was already dawn, the attic seemed to have not woken up yet, shrouded in a gloomy and dead atmosphere.

Almost like being escorted, Yang Xiao and the other four were escorted into the so-called Golden Chamber. When the door opened,

a stale smell came to his face. Looking at the dim hall, Yang Xiao couldn't help but feel a trace of inexplicable fear in his heart.

He had been here not long ago, late at night, but at that time, there was not such a strong stale smell and it was not so gloomy. How could it become like this in less than two days, and... and there seemed to be some other smells here.

"Sizzle--"

Suddenly, the sound of the back of a knife rubbing against the scabbard sounded behind him, like a note of death, which was a kind of threat.

"Hurry up!" The leading maid urged, and at the same time took Jiang Qingluan, the only woman among the four, to one side.

Out of respect, Yang Xiao and the other two stood back to back with Jiang Qingluan, but the distance was not far, so that once they started fighting,

everyone would have someone to take care of them.

Kou Mi choked...

Yang Xiao and the others began to take off their clothes. It was not until this moment that Yang Xiao figured out why the people in the Earl's Mansion did this.

The search for evil spirits was just a cover. How could evil spirits be found by turning over clothes? What they were looking for was something tangible, the divine tortoise shell hidden on Xiang Fengchen's body!

The yang-kui man who came to find them today was not right. He was probably a Feng Shui person. When he passed by the entrance, he saw the incense and porcelain bowl fragments on the ground. He judged that someone had set up a formation and cast a spell here last night, and the center of the formation was most likely the tortoise shell!

Thinking about it more deeply, the people in the Earl's Mansion were so hard to find those magicians, maybe just for this treasure!

If this is true, the old man Huazi who gave them the treasure is really bad. He knew that the Earl's Mansion was looking for it, but he gave them this deadly thing. Isn't this pure cheating?

Now the problem is serious. Once the tortoise shell is found on Xiang Fengchen, they can't wash it off even if they jump into the Yellow River.

Not to mention what will happen to the tortoise shell in the end, their lives may not be saved. If they are not well, they will be tortured and it will be difficult for them to die.

Yang Xiao took off his clothes slowly, moving slowly, trying to buy time to think of a solution. He secretly glanced at Xiang Fengchen. He was indeed an old senior. He was not panicked at all at the moment, with a treasure in his hands. He was more calm than him.

But Yang Xiao's strategy of delaying time could not be concealed at all. His buttocks were hit hard by a knife sheath. "Hurry up! Don't dawdle!" The martial artist behind him was full of murderous intent, and his beard was shaking, as if he was going to chop Yang Xiao with a knife in the next second.

Yang Xiao felt bitter, but he didn't say anything. He could only take off all his clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts. The attic was gloomy and scary. Unconsciously, a gust of cold wind blew, making him shiver violently. It was not completely cold, but more terrible was an inexplicable chill.

"Take it all off!!" The warrior shouted with a knife.

Yang Xiao didn't care. What he was really worried about was Xiang Fengchen. After all, Xiang Fengchen had almost taken off all his clothes. Just like him, he only had a pair of shorts to cover up his shame. If he took them off again... Doubt, the piece of turtle armor was hidden in his shorts. Yang Xiao felt excited when he thought about that scene.

"Brothers, we are a bit older after all, so we shouldn't do this." Nalan Shuo's voice rang out at this moment.

"Stop talking nonsense! Or I'll chop you with one knife!" The martial artist didn't show any dignity at all. He raised his knife and gestured at the three of them.

At this point, there was no other way to go. Yang Xiao took a deep breath and pretended to take off his pants while observing secretly, looking for the opportunity to take action.

"Don't be impulsive, let's just do it." The next second, Xiang Fengchen smiled, and there was a rare calmness in his laughter. It was these words that made Yang Xiao temporarily suppress his thoughts of resistance.

As the three people met frankly, Yang Xiao was stunned. There was not a single piece of cloth on Xiang Fengchen's body. However, no matter how many martial artists turned over their clothes, they could not find anything suspicious. The search lasted for half a long time.

They found nothing.

With no choice but to let them go.

After putting on their clothes again, Yang Xiao and the others, led by the maid, took the right path and left the Earl's Mansion.

The four of them walked up and down the road, not talking about the turtle shell at all. It wasn't until they were far away and confirmed that no one was following them that they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, you, your hands are so fast and ruthless!" Yang Xiao couldn't help but stare at Xiang Fengchen's butt. The size of the Divine Ghost Armor is not big, but it is not too small after all. This old evil sorcerer can It was a serious crime.

If this matter spread, he probably wouldn't be able to survive, so Yang Xiao decided to prevent him from killing anyone.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Fengchen smiled disdainfully and lowered his voice: "I disappoint you, my good disciple. To tell you the truth, I don't even have that piece of turtle shell with me."

"What?!"

The four of them walked slowly along the street, paying attention to their surroundings. Xiang Fengchen's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through people's hearts. "I saw something was wrong with the man who came to deliver the message before. I think he is also a member of the same group. He After discovering the magic circle I set up last night, how can I not guard against him? "

"If there is an formation, there must be an eye. He is looking for my eye." Xiang Fengchen said clearly.

"Then where did the senior hide the tortoise shell?" Jiang Qingluan asked in a low voice.

I don't know if he was showing off or deliberately concealing it. Xiang Fengchen didn't answer. He just shook his head gently and said in a master's tone: "The secret must not be revealed."

"Wrap it in oil paper wrapped with incense and stuff it into the dung bucket when no one is paying attention." Nalan Shuo said without turning his head.

Hearing this, Xiang Fengchen's expression changed instantly, and his master's aura suddenly broke through his guard, "Nalan Shuo, you are so boring!"

1

"You, the sorcerer's sect, have stuffed your most precious treasure into a dung bucket. If your ancestors knew about it, they would be very angry." Nalan Shuo stabbed Xiang Fengchen in the heart again.

"What if you can deceive fellows like this?" Xiang Fengchen was visibly anxious, "Even if that guy's skills are not as good as mine, they're not that different. He definitely wouldn't have thought that I'd hide things in filthy things. If it were you, could you hide it from him? "

"No." Nalan Shuo admitted frankly, "I am not one of your Feng Shui masters. Anyway, your ancestors would not trouble me through dreams."

"Smelly and shameless!" Xiang Fengchen was anxious. This sentence of asking for trouble in a dream seemed to poke Xiang Fengchen's trachea.

His neck turned red with anger.

Yang Xiao has heard that the Feng Shui community is very taboo about asking dreams, because Feng Shui practitioners are very taboo about strange things, especially when colleagues ask for dreams. , which is almost the same as cursing him to death.

No, even more vicious.

Xiang Fengchen cursed all the way, and when he was tired of scolding, Nalan Shuo suddenly said another sentence to stimulate him,

Soon, in this occasional quarrel, the tense atmosphere that had enveloped everyone disappeared.

"Do you feel it?" Nalan Shuo suddenly asked.

"You feel it, how can I not notice it?" Xiang Fengchen sneered. In this regard, he has the most say, "There is something wrong in that attic. There is something."

"Well, it's very cold and chilly. The last time we took a bath there, it wasn't as cold as it is today.

It was still late at night. Nalan Shuo said to himself, "There is also this name. The maid said it was called Jinjin Pavilion." "

"This name is too strange. It violates many taboos. Historically, the place where the emperor lived was called the Bedroom, the place where he worked was called the Golden Palace, and the place where the emperor was named was called the Pavilion. This two-story attic dares to violate all the taboos, or is it this? The entire Earl's family has gone crazy, or...

"It's just that they are rebellious." Yang Xiao suddenly said.

"That's right." Nalan Shuo nodded.

"The rebelliousness of this family can be seen. Their ancestor's birthday gift has exceeded the standard by far. Although the gift is impressive, it is not that excessive. It is clearly a birthday celebration for the ancestor in accordance with imperial rites. If it is found out, They want to kill everyone." Jiang Qingluan added.

"They are not stupid, they are determined to do this. This should also be related to the evil they secretly planned." Yang Xiao made the final decision.
