Chapter 50 The Weird Garden
The moment the door of the house opened, Du Lingfei and the other two immediately looked vigilantly. Bai Xiaochun was nervous and even took out a handful of talisman paper and stuck it in front of her, with a crackling sound all over her body.
The figure that appeared, holding a lantern in his hand, stood in the open door, and his whole body seemed to merge with the darkness, looking at the three of them quietly.
"The three come to me in the twilight, I don't know what's going on."
In the dim light of the lantern, the three of them vaguely saw that this was a young man. His eyes were calm and his face was pale, as if he had no blood, and he was wearing a green robe.
Seeing someone appear, Feng Yan and Du Lingfei breathed a sigh of relief. Although the gloomy feeling here before was still there, it was much less.
"This fellow Taoist, we and the other three are disciples of Lingxi Sect. This visit will require important questions." Feng Yan clasped his fists and spoke.
Only then did Du Lingfei notice the layers of protective light curtains on Bai Xiaochun's body and frowned.
Bai Xiaochun didn't pay attention to Du Lingfei, and he didn't know why. Whether it was this house or the young man who came out, he felt a strong sense of crisis.
"It turns out to be a fellow Taoist from Lingxi Sect, so come in and talk in detail..." The young man spoke slowly, and as the lantern swayed above his head, his face looked uncertain in the dim light. After he said that, he took a few steps back and turned around and walked away.
The door of the house was open, as if waiting for Bai Xiaochun and the other two to enter.
Feng Yan hesitated for a moment, and when he walked first, Du Lingfei followed behind, Bai Xiaochun looked around, gritted his teeth, followed carefully, and entered the house.
After they entered, the door closed with a bang, and the two lanterns shook even harder. The two stone lions below suddenly turned their eyes and slowly turned bloody.
There is a bluestone path in the house, with some grass and rockery around it, but even with moonlight, it looks hazy. Only the young man in front of him emits a faint light from the lantern in his hand, and as the young man moves forward, he sways.
The four of them walked on this bluestone path, and the surroundings were cold and quiet, as if they were two worlds outside.
On the right side of everyone, there were several fruit trees, with many red fruits growing on the tree. There was obviously no wind in the house, but the fruit tree suddenly shaking on its own, making a rustling sound.
Du Lingfei and Feng Yan were immediately alert. Bai Xiaochun was at the end and kept looking around, especially the shaking fruit trees, which made him feel strange.
Slowly, he smelled a bloody smell. Although the smell was very light, it did exist.
Bai Xiaochun's heart skipped a beat and was about to speak.
Suddenly, the fruits on the fruit trees fell from the tree one by one, fell to the ground and rolled forward. On the surface of the fruits, children's smiling faces appeared, as if someone had deliberately painted them on it, and they laughed at Bai Xiaochun and others.
"Hello, you guys."
They also had hands and feet growing on their bodies, holding hands one by one, and quickly ran towards Bai Xiaochun and others, surrounding Feng Yan, Du Lingfei and Bai Xiaochun with their faces changed, making cheerful laughs.
"Aunt said, be obedient, don't cry, you can only laugh, ripe fruits are the most beautiful." These fruits kept turning around Bai Xiaochun and the other two, with a pleasant voice.
As they approached, a sweet feeling swelled up on the face, but when the sweetness smelled in the mouth, it seemed that it was about to vomit all the internal organs.
A few fruits even ran to the front of the young man. The young man ignored it and stomped on it, slashed the fruits, but the broken fruits still crawled up, and continued to sing inexplicable songs with a smile.
"What the hell!" Feng Yan's eyes showed a splendor, and his sleeves were swung out, and the wind immediately blew out, rolling up a lot of fruits, shattering them one by one after another, but he still got up and surrounded everyone again, laughing still.
Bai Xiaochun even had goose bumps all over her body, and all the protective light curtains outside her body were turned on.
Du Lingfei looked pale. Looking at the fruits singing hand in hand, she looked frightened. She endured the nausea in her heart. When she bit her silver teeth, her phoenix eyes showed a sharp look. Just as she was about to make gestures, suddenly, the fruits showed fear on their expressions.
"Aunt here!!" They quickly retreated back to the fruit tree, jumped up and returned to their respective positions, their smiling faces disappeared, and returned to normal fruits.
"This is a kind of spiritual fruit brought back by the ancestor from the depths of the Luoxing Mountains. He always likes to sing. How do the three fellow Taoists think they sing?" The young man from the Luochen family in front did not look back, and sounded as he continued to move forward.
Feng Yan and Du Lingfei looked ugly, snorted coldly, and walked away.
Bai Xiaochun was behind, and a chill rose in his heart. When he was moving forward, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be another sound of footsteps here!
Knock, knock, knock...
I don’t know when the footsteps here are no longer four people, but... five people!
Perhaps, since they entered the house, there have been such footsteps, but they were attracted by the fruits and did not pay attention. After the silence, it sounded very clear.
Bai Xiaochun listened carefully and his whole body trembled suddenly. He found that the extra footsteps were right behind him, and his neck was chilly, as if someone was leaning against him and breathing.
"Did you... hear the footsteps...there is one more!" Bai Xiaochun felt all his hair suddenly rise, and Feng Yan's expression in front of him also changed. He also heard the footsteps.
Du Lingfei's pupils contracted and her breathing was rapid.
The three of them paused instantly, and as they paused, the footsteps also disappeared.
Bai Xiaochun felt furious in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and turned around suddenly, but just as he turned his head, he suddenly saw a woman in red standing behind him!
The woman's red dress was shaking, her face was ashen, and she looked at Bai Xiaochun with a smile, her lips slightly moved, as if she was saying something.
"There is not enough fire, please help me."
This sudden scene made Bai Xiaochun jump up suddenly and let out a shrill scream. When his body retreated, the woman in red instantly turned into a red shadow and disappeared in a flash.
Bai Xiaochun looked pale and looked at it immediately, but there was nothing around... only his voice turned into an echo, echoing around.
Du Lingfei and Feng Yan were shocked and looked around. Although they didn't notice any figure, they were already frightened at this moment.
At this moment, a woman's singing came in the dark and quiet house. The singing seemed to be there or not, as if it was a lullaby to coax the baby to sleep, but in this quiet and dark house, it made people's scalp numb.
"Be good, go to bed quickly. The wind blows and the fire is shaking. Don't scratch, don't scream..."
"Pretending to be a ghost!" Feng Yan was nervous, and a flying sword immediately appeared while he was making gestures, surrounding him.
At the same time, the young man holding the lantern in front gradually turned around, and under the dim light of the lantern in his hand, he looked blurred.
"Why don't you leave? Come on, come on." The young man smiled, this smile was very strange.
"We still won't go in. We are here to investigate the disappearance of a fellow disciple. I wonder if my fellow disciple came here five months ago?" Feng Yan took a deep breath and asked with a sharp look in his eyes.
Du Lingfei had already taken out the magic weapon and was very focused at this moment.
"No." The young man holding the lantern spoke softly, his voice floating around, as if he was blending with the woman's singing.
"Why are the members of the fellow Taoist family not here?" Du Lingfei suddenly asked.
"If you have something to go out, have you finished asking?" The young man smiled even more, and even the corners of his mouth were raised, looking very inconsistent.
"We've finished asking, let's say goodbye." Feng Yan spoke, his body immediately retreated, and Du Lingfei retreated quickly. As for Bai Xiaochun, he had already retreated before them.
"Since you don't want to come in, then stay... Stay here and accompany us..." The young man laughed, and the corners of his mouth were torn open to form a huge crack, almost cutting his head!
At this moment, the lantern in his hand turned green, making the whole house darker in an instant. His body floated up and headed straight for Feng Yan as he spoke.
Feng Yan's face changed, he pinched his fingers, and the flying sword roared away, but the young man did not dodge at all. With a bang, he let the flying sword penetrate his body. With a strange smile, his chin hung on his face and pounced on Feng Yan.
Feng Yan's breathing was rapid, his body kept retreating, and even gritted his teeth and took out a black pill and smashed it directly towards the ground. The roar echoed in shock, and the pill exploded directly when it touched the ground.
The young man who rushed towards Feng Yan was the first to be hit and was hit. When he retreated, countless damaged places appeared on his body, but he seemed to be unaware of the pain and still smiled strangely, turning like a kite and continuing to pounce.
However, there were countless crisscrossing stripes appearing where the pills were blasted open. The stripes were composed of strands of dead energy, and were quickly weaving, as if they were about to heal.
"There is a formation here, this is the Yinming Formation!!" Feng Yan exclaimed after seeing the stripes.
At the same time, at Du Lingfei's feet, the bluestone slabs began to move, with eyes appearing, and even hands growing. The hands were as thin as firewood, like mummies. When you look closely, you can see silky-like objects creeping around inside... and grab Du Lingfei's legs.
"It hurts so much that you stepped on us..."
"Come on, come on, come on here with us..." There were even more voices coming from the bluestone slabs, and these sounds were so loud that people would be shocked after hearing this.
Du Lingfei looked pale, and with a finger, a small flag flew out of her storage bag, forming two foggy beasts around her to protect her. In front of her, a flying sword roared out. When the sword light shone, she cut off the arm that grabbed her calves and quickly retreated.
And at this moment, the singing of the woman in his ear suddenly became louder!
