Chapter 6: Staying in a deserted house at night

It takes more than a thousand kilometers to get to Guangzhou, and it takes ten hours to take the high-speed train.

As for the traffic conditions of the big city, even if it is not a mountain high or water hazard, and the fast horse is whipped up, it will have to take more than ten days. If you encounter some more situations on the way and delay it a little, it may take half a month to arrive.

This is why, Shuangxie and others received the news on January 25, and hurriedly embarked on the journey the next day.

Let’s talk about them, after "rescuing" Tyrel, six turned into seven, and they traveled for another three days.

The three days were quite smooth. The next afternoon, the seven people crossed the Yangtze River, and on the third day, they left Shu and entered the territory of Guizhou.

During this period, the seven people did not encounter any more accidents, and Tyrel's Chinese has made great progress in the past few days.

In fact, Tyrell was a very smart person with a strong learning ability. Before he met Shuangxiu, no one had ever taught him Chinese, and few people had even tried to communicate with him. Even so, he still learned a lot of words based on his own guessing and reasoning. Now that someone is willing to teach him well and talk to him in fragmented English, his Chinese proficiency is a thousand miles a day.

It is no exaggeration to say that in just these three days, Tyrel's Chinese level is already higher than that of Sun and Huang. However, since it is much more difficult to learn Chinese than English, he cannot speak sentences "fluently and correctly".

By the fourth day, the seven people had already penetrated the junction of Guizhou and Xiangxi. Take a very common concept in martial arts novels as an example, that is, they reached "Miaojiang".

This place is... in one sentence - the territory of the Five Spirit Sect.

I don’t know if you still remember that in our previous document, we mentioned that fourteen years ago, Gu Qizong, the leader of the Tianqi Gang, led the thirteen sects to break through the main hall of the Five Spirit Sect. At the end of this battle, the main hall of the Five Spirit Sect was burned by a fire and buried by the collapsed mountain. Gu Qizong also died together with the leader of the Demon Sect Yi Shixiong in the fire.

However, this battle did not completely destroy the Five Spirit Sect.

Today, fourteen years later, the Five Spirit Sect has long been rebuilt, and has even become stronger than before.

Like back then, their current headquarters is also called "Zhenling Mountain" - this is their rule. Which mountain is located in the headquarters, which mountain is "Zhenling Mountain"; of course, the exact location and method of entry and exit of the headquarters are kept confidential to the outside world.

In addition, the Five Spirit Sect has countless branches in various parts of Miaojiang, all of which are disguised as various transactions or facilities. The members are also scattered everywhere and become part of the local people.

If you ask how big their sphere of influence covers and how many people are there in the Miaojiang area... This is really hard to say.

Anyway, the so-called "righteous people" in the Central Plains martial arts world are generally not willing to set foot here. If you have to come, you can only find more staff, be more careful, and leave quickly after you finish the work.

Otherwise, every day they stay, they will have an extra risk of "evaporation in the world".

Huang Donglai and the others naturally understood the above situations, but when they go to Guangzhou from Fushun, they must have to cross this area. If they want to avoid the long journey here, the circle will be too big... Maybe it will take two months to arrive, and then the new leader will have already been selected.

Considering that they just passed by here and didn't stay, the distance was only two or three days at most, they came with a tough start.

On the evening of the day, seven people rode their horses and arrived at a place called "Yandengpo".

This place can be said to be rugged mountain roads and vast forests, and even the "official roads" are not accessible. There is no such thing as "big roads and small roads". In short, you just identify the direction and walk slowly.

Everyone just walked... and walked... it became dark without realizing it.

They must have been ready to stay overnight in the desert in such a place without an official road, so shortly after the moon came out, they decided to find a suitable place to tie the horses overnight.

It was at this moment that Jiang Muchan suddenly discovered something...

"Hey, brothers, is there an inn in front?"

When Jiang Muchan shouted, the others looked in the direction he pointed.

Not to mention, when I looked there, there was a wooden house on the side of the road, and the house looked quite small, so it might be a hotel.

Otherwise... this thief also has the advantage of a thief. As a person who often moves at night, Xiao Jiang is more clear than others when watching things at night.

"It seems." Qin Feng looked at the awning with his hand and said, "Well? But if it was an inn, you should have a lantern in front of the door at night, right?"

"Hey, this is not a station next to the official road... It is a small shop in the deep mountains and forests. What lanterns are left at night? If you think there is too much wax, you should leave it for ghosts to see?" Huang Donglai actually didn't understand, but he explained it casually based on his speculation and added, "Besides, it may not be an inn, maybe it is a house of hunters in the mountains? Let's go over and take a look."

He finished talking, and then led his horse to walk forward first.

The other six people didn't say anything more. After all, everyone had been traveling for a day and was very tired. Whether it was a hotel or someone else's home, it was a place with a roof and a wall, and could stay overnight. Even if you ask someone for some money, you could let them go in and have a night out.

In this way, the seven people quickly walked along the mountain road to the nearest of the big house.

But after getting closer, everyone found that something was wrong... The door of the room was not closed, and the two door panels were almost straight inward.

Could it be that such a large house would be an abandoned empty house?

Just as they were thinking this, something even more strange happened - when their horses walked about ten meters in front of the house, they suddenly became a little restless. When they moved forward to five meters, the horses began to turn around and whirl at the squeak of resistance.

At the same time, Huang Donglai, who was walking in the front, also stopped and stared at the room with a solemn expression.

"Brother Huang? What's the situation?" Sun Yixie knew Huang Donglai very well. When he saw that the latter's face had changed a little, he knew something was wrong, so he immediately came over and asked.

"Well..." Huang Donglai pondered and replied to the words that made the scalp of the few people except Tyrel numb, "This room... is so yin."

"What?" Sun Yixie took a big step back when he heard the word "yin Qi" and followed half of the sentence, "Can it be..."

"Don't panic." Huang Donglai continued, "Let's go in and have a look."

"'We'?" Sun Yixie repeated the keyword loudly and said, "Is this necessary? Isn't it all over 'you' go in and take a look? Let's cover you up later."

Huang Donglai was amused when he heard this: "Brother Sun, are you in trouble again?"

Sun Yixie was instantly seen through and could only say stubbornly: "Mao! What are the difficulties I have? I was worried that they had difficulties, so I decided to stay outside with them." As he said, he pointed at the people behind him.

When Huang Donglai heard this, he looked at the other five people.

At this moment, Lin Yuancheng was explaining to Tyrel about Huang Donglai's "Taozhi" with words and gestures. Tyrel listened very seriously, and his face changed.

Jiang Muchan looked very calm, and he was obviously very brave when he often walked on the night path.

Qin Feng's thoughts were relatively conservative, with a little fear on his face, but he did not show it too clearly.

Only Linghu Xiang's reaction was even more exaggerated than Brother Sun. After hearing the words "heavy yin energy", his face turned pale.

"No... Even if Linghu Xiang is a bit difficult, there are others accompanying him. Since Brother Sun, you have no difficulties, then go in with me." Huang Donglai glanced at him and said to Sun Yixie.

But Sun Yixie replied with confidence: "Mom! Brother's difficulty is mine! No way?"

"Okay, forget it." Huang Donglai saw Sun Yixi's deadbeat appearance and laughed in his heart, thinking that it would be almost done to make jokes here, so he turned around with satisfaction and ran to the room.

When he entered, he only had a fire note in his hand.

Not long after staying in the house, he turned back, snatched the fire and threw it away, and said, "There is no one in the house."

Sun Yixie did not relax at all and immediately asked, "Is there anything other than anyone?"

"Maybe there are some insects or something, and most places with heavy yin energy are available." Huang Dong replied.

"Ha?" Sun Yixii said, "Then why is the yin energy in this room so heavy? Is this the cave of a fairy?"

"How do I know?" Huang Donglai said, "Maybe many people have died here before... Anyway, there are nothing, no ghosts or monsters, and there are no furniture or anything else. There are only four walls and not even windows open."

"Well..." Sun Yixie thought for a while, "Is this a kind of trap? For example, after we enter, the door will automatically close, and then the fairy will catch the turtle in a jar."

"I'm thinking too much." Huang Donglai denied his speculation, "I'd noticed that arrangement, and I'd say... Is there any door that can block your "door-beating fist"?" He paused, "In my opinion, there is no problem with this room except for the heavy yin energy. Let's tie the horse away and go in and sleep."

"Really or false?" Sun Yixie was still a little cowardly, "Why am I a little unbelievable? Wait..." At this moment, he seemed to think of something and suddenly became nervous, "Who are you? How can I be sure that you are really Huang Donglai? Maybe you have been transferred to the house just now?"

"Ha..." Huang Donglai smiled at the time, "I can write the word 'share' of shareholders. Can I prove that I am true?"

Among the people present, he and Sun Yixie could understand what he said.

When they were still in the "original world", they went back to the bank to do business. Brother Sun was despised by the staff for not being able to write the word "share" of shareholders. Since then, this matter has been regarded as a joke and is often taken out by people around Brother Sun to mock him.

Now that he heard Huang Donglai mention this matter in a vague way, Sun Yixie understood that the other party was right: "Mom! I'm so annoying! I just don't sleep inside anyway!" As he said that, he turned to Linghu Xiang and said, "Linghu, I don't think you want to go in very much, why don't you just go outside with me tonight?"

Sun Yixi's method of pulling people into the water was also effective. Because Linghu Xiang was really brave, he agreed.

So, that night, Sun Yixie and Linghu Xiang and the seven horses slept under several big trees more than ten meters away from the house, while Huang Donglai, Lin Yuancheng, Jiang Muchan, Qin Feng and Tyrell slept in the empty house.

In the first half of the night, several of the seven people were not sleeping very soundly, but because of the continuous rush, they all fell asleep in the second half of the night.

I thought that there was nothing wrong with that night, but when I opened my eyes again it was dawn, but I didn't expect...

At the darkest moment before dawn, a "soul-catching bell" suddenly sounded on the nearby mountain road.
