Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 253: Overnight in a Barren House
It takes more than 1000 kilometers to travel from Fushun to Guangzhou, and it takes ten hours by train.

According to the traffic conditions in Dalong, even if the mountain is not high, the water is not dangerous, and the horse is riding fast, it will take more than ten days; if there is any situation on the way, it will be delayed If you think about it, it will probably take half a month to arrive.

That's why, Shuangxie and others received the news on January 25, and hurriedly embarked on the journey the next day.

Let's talk about a few of them, after "rescuing" Tyrell, six people became seven people, and they went for another three days.

These three days were relatively smooth, and the seven of them crossed the Yangtze River in the afternoon of the second day, and left the land of Shu and entered the border of Guizhou on the third day.

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

In fact, Tyrell is a very smart person with a strong learning ability. Before meeting Shuangxie, no one had really taught him Chinese, and few people even tried to communicate with him. Still relying on his own guessing and reasoning to learn a lot of words; now that someone is willing to teach him well and talk to him in fragmented English, his Chinese proficiency will surely improve by leaps and bounds.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the past three days, Tyrell's Chinese level has been higher than Sun Huang's English level, but because learning Chinese is much more difficult than English, he still cannot "fluently , Correctly" say a sentence.

By the fourth day, the seven people had gone deep into the border between Guizhou and Xiangxi. To use a concept that is very common in martial arts novels, they had reached the "Miaojiang".

This place... in a word - the site of the Five Spirits Sect.

I don’t know if you guys still remember, but it was mentioned in our previous documents: 14 years ago, Gu Qizong, the patron of the Tianqi Gang, led the thirteen sects to attack the main altar of the Five Spirits Sect. The altar was burned by the fire and buried by the collapsed mountain, and Gu Qizong and Yi Shixiong, the leader of the Demon Cult, died together in the fire.

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

Today, 14 years later, the Five Spirits Sect has already completed its reconstruction, and has even become stronger than before.

Just like back then, their current main altar is also called "Zhenling Mountain" - this is their rule, whichever mountain the main altar is located on is "Zhenling Mountain"; of course, the exact location of the main altar, The method of entry and exit is kept confidential.

In addition, the Five Spirits Sect has countless branches in various places in Miaojiang, all of which are disguised as various businesses or facilities, and its members are scattered all over the place, mingling with the local people.

You have to ask how big their sphere of influence and how many people they have in the Miaojiang area... It's really hard to say.

Anyway, the so-called "righteous people" in the Central Plains martial arts are generally not willing to set foot here. If they have to come, they can only find more people, have more ideas, and leave quickly after finishing their work.

Otherwise, every extra day they stay, there will be an extra risk of "evaporating".

Of course, Huang Donglai and the others understand the above-mentioned situations, but they must pass through this area from Fushun to Guangzhou. If you want to avoid this place and take a long way, the circle will be too big... Maybe it will take two months to get there. By that time, the selection of the new leader will have already been finished.

Considering that they just passed by here and didn't make any stays, the journey would only take two or three days at most, so they bit the bullet and came.

In the evening of that day, seven people rode horses to a place called "Yandeng Slope".

Here, it can be said that the mountain roads are rugged, the forests are vast, and even the "official road" is not accessible, and there is no such thing as "big roads and small roads". In short, we just look for the direction and walk slowly.

Everyone just walked...walked...it was completely dark before they knew it.

Traveling in such a place without official roads, they must have been prepared to spend the night in the wilderness, so shortly after the moon came out, they decided to find a suitable place to tie their horses for the night.

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

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

When Jiang Muchan yelled, the others also looked in the direction he was pointing.

Not to mention, looking there, there is really a group of wooden houses on the side of the road, and this house looks quite small, it may indeed be an inn.

Or... this Snitch also has the advantage of a Snitch. As a person who often moves at night, Xiao Jiang can see things clearly at night than others.

"It seems to be." Qin Feng took a look at the awning and read, "Huh? But if it's an inn, it should leave a lantern in front of the door at night, right?"

"Ham, this is not a post station beside the official road...it's a small shop in an old forest deep in the mountains. Why don't you keep lanterns at night? If you think there's too much wax, why don't you leave it to the ghosts?" Huang Donglai didn't really understand, but he He explained it casually based on speculation, and added, "Besides, it doesn't have to be an inn, maybe it's the house of the hunters in the mountains? Let's go and have a look and talk about it."

After he finished talking, he led the horse and walked forward first.

The other six people didn't say anything more. After all, everyone had traveled all day and was very tired. Whether this house was an inn or someone else's home, it was a place with a roof and walls where they could spend the night. Ask people for some money, and let them go in, just sleep with them for one night.

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

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

Could it be that such a large room is actually an abandoned empty house?

Just as they were thinking this way, something even weirder happened—their horses suddenly became restless when they walked about ten meters in front of the house, and when they got closer to five meters, the horses began to turn around one after another He licked his hooves and neighed in defiance.

At the same time, Huang Donglai, who was walking in the front, also stopped, staring at the room solemnly.

"Brother Huang? What's the situation?" Sun Yixie knew Huang Donglai very well. When he saw the change in the latter's face, he knew something was wrong, so he immediately came up to ask.

"Hmm..." Huang Donglai pondered, and replied with a sentence that made everyone's scalps tingle except for Tyrell, "This room... is so dark."

"What?" Sun Yixie took a big step back when he heard the word "Yin Qi", and answered half a sentence, "Could it be..."

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

"'We'?" Sun Yixie repeated the key word loudly, and then said, "Is this necessary? 'You' go in and have a look, isn't it over? We will cover you from behind."

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

Sun Yixie was seen through in an instant, so he could only say stiffly: "Mao! What's my problem? I was worried about their problems, so I decided to stay outside and accompany them." As he spoke, he pointed behind his back Those few.

Huang Donglai heard the words, and took advantage of the situation to look at the other five people.

At this moment, Lin Yuancheng was explaining to Tyrell about Huang Donglai's "knowledge of Taoism" with words and gestures. Tyrell listened very seriously, and his face was still changing.

Jiang Muchan looked very calm, he was obviously very courageous as a night walker.

Qin Feng's thinking is relatively conservative, and there is a little fear on his face, but it is not too obvious.

Only Linghu Xiang's reaction was even more exaggerated than Brother Sun's. After hearing the words "heavily cloudy", his face turned pale with fright.

"No... Even if Linghuxiang is in trouble, there are other people accompanying him. Since Brother Sun, you have no trouble, then you can go in with me." Huang Donglai glanced at him, and then said to Sun Yixie.

But Sun Yixie replied loudly and confidently: "Damn chicken! Brother's difficulties are my difficulties! Can't you?"

"Okay, forget it." Huang Donglai saw Sun Yixie in such an old-fashioned state, and smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that the joke was almost here, and then turned around contentedly, and ran to the room.

When he went in, he only had a fire pocket in his hand.

Not long after staying in the house, he turned back, extinguished the fire pocket and threw it away, saying: "There is no one in the house."

Sun Yixie didn't relax at all, and immediately asked: "Is there anything other than human?"

"Maybe there are some bugs or something, most of the places with heavy yin energy." Huang Dong said back and forth.

"Huh?" Sun Yixie said, "Then why is this room so dark? Is this some kind of goblin's cave?"

"How do I know?" Huang Donglai said, "Maybe many people died here before... Anyway, there is nothing now, no ghosts or demons, no furniture or anything, just four walls, not even a window. Not on."

"Hmm..." Sun Yixie thought for a while, "Could this be some kind of trap? For example, after we enter, the door will automatically close, and then we will be caught by the goblin."

"Overthinking." Huang Donglai denied his conjecture, "If there is such an arrangement, I would have noticed it a long time ago, besides... what door can stop your 'door-thumping fist'?" He paused , "In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with this room except that it is very cloudy. Let's tie the horses a little farther away and just go in and sleep."

"Really?" Sun Yixie was still a little timid, "Why do I not believe it? 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 Is it really Huang Donglai? Maybe you have been transferred after you walked into the room just now?"

"Heh..." Huang Donglai laughed at the time, "I can write the word 'share' for shareholders, can you prove that I am real?"

Only he and Sun Yixie could understand what he said.

Back then, when the two of them were still in the "original world", they went back to the bank to do business. Brother Sun was despised by the staff because he couldn't write the word "stock" for shareholders. The people around Brother Sun took it out and mocked him.

Now that Huang Donglai mentioned this cryptically, Sun Yixie understood that the other party was right: "Damn it! I'm so annoying! Anyway, I just don't sleep in it!" As he spoke, he turned his head to Linghu Xiang said, "Linghu, I don't think you really want to go in, why don't you go outside with me to give them a 'guard'?"

Sun Yixie's method of pulling people into the water worked, because Linghuxiang was really timid, so he agreed.

So, that night, Sun Yixie and Linghuxiang slept with the seven horses under a few big trees more than ten meters away from the house, while Huang Donglai, Lin Yuancheng, Jiang Muchan, Qin Feng and Tai Ruier slept in that empty room.

In the first half of the night, some of the seven people still didn't sleep well, but because they were really tired from the continuous journey, they all fell asleep in the second half of the night.

I thought that there would be nothing wrong with this night, and it would be dawn when I opened my eyes again, but unexpectedly...

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