Alienated Martial Arts.

Chapter 179 Sobbing
The steward is gone.

A living person disappeared without warning, without leaving any traces.

It was as if he had never been to this abandoned manor.

Wei Tao searched for the past everywhere.

There was no one around, inside or outside.

Only the dolls in the room doing different things stayed there quietly, as if silently laughing at their ignorance and stupidity.

Gudong!

Ou Yinglian's throat throbbed and her face turned pale.

He didn't dare to say a word, waiting for the punishment from the deacon.

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain, and hit the east and the west."

Wei Tao said slowly, "I have to say, we made a mistake."

He glanced at the two of them, and his tone was still gentle, "You don't have to blame yourself, there is definitely more than one person on the other side, and the strength is not simple.

Even if the two of you stay here, you may not be able to resist the enemy's sneak attack without warning, and you may even fall into it yourself. "

Having said that, he couldn't help falling into silence.

The strange figure appeared before his eyes again.

From being in Fang's mansion before, to outside the manor wall just now.

There was a figure with long hair hanging down and a distorted posture standing there.

The other party didn't move, just staring at them.

Most of the eyes were covered by the messy hair, but the exposed area was full of blood, a bright red.

"My lord, what shall we do now?"

Ou Yinglian calmed down and began to think about the follow-up matters.

Wei Tao didn't answer, and turned his head to look at Gan Liang who was thinking, "Old Gan, what do you think is the most appropriate way to deal with it?"

Gan Liang frowned, "At this moment, the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. If they can't hide, the old man can't think of any way to lure the snake out of the hole."

"So from the old man's point of view, the next thing to do is to wait. As long as the opponent makes other moves, he may show his feet and be caught by us."

Wei Tao nodded, "Old Gan is right, so where to wait next becomes the next question that must be decided."

Gan Liang looked inside the room, his eyes fell on the face of the skinned puppet that Fu An didn't move, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.

"If you stay here, if something happens again in the gold drying field, you won't be able to rush back to deal with it in time.

But if we go back to the gold drying field, the old man is worried that this is really the enemy's stronghold, once we leave, we will..."

He suddenly fell silent.

With a somewhat surprised expression, he looked around.

"My lord, did you hear the whimpering and crying?"

Gan Liang listened intently, as if looking for the source of the sound.

A light blue color quietly appeared between the eyebrows, and the temples on both sides were throbbing non-stop at the same time.

Obviously, the brow and soul openings have been opened.

"No."

Wei Tao held his breath and concentrated, but he only heard the sound of wind blowing, rustling and raining, not whimpering at all.

Ou Yinglian also shook her head slowly, "I didn't hear it either, did Mr. Gan hear it wrong?"

Gan Liang wiped off the sweat from his forehead, looking a little tired.

"Maybe I heard it wrong, but the cries of dozens of people mixed together just now are too weird.

Especially when I opened the brow and soul apertures to perceive carefully, it was as if there were many people whimpering softly around me.

There is simply a creepy feeling of being in a ghost. "

"Are there really ghosts in this world?"

Ou Yinglian's heart was also a little hairy, and she stared at the skinned puppet sitting at the desk in the room, as if it would come to life in the next moment.

"I don't know if there are ghosts."

Gan Liang sighed leisurely, "When I was young, I always listened to stories about ghosts and goblins in the village, so I became afraid of the dark and ghosts.

When I grew up and practiced martial arts, I dared to walk alone in the wilderness and ridges, and stayed overnight in the burial mounds. At that time, I felt that there were no ghosts in the world.

As a result, now that he is older, he hopes that there will be ghosts, so that they can give him some hope for the days after his death.

Otherwise, it will be nothing at all, and if you think about it, you will feel that there is a real horror between life and death. "

Ou Yinglian also sighed, "Although the younger generation is still young, after hearing what Mr. Gan said, I'm starting to feel a little scared."

Click!

A cold light flashed suddenly.

While the two were talking, Wei Tao had already sliced ​​the skinned puppet in two.

The contents inside were scattered all over the place.

Except for a few straws, most of them are indeed bright red hair, covering a large area of ​​the ground.

Not long after, the dolls in other rooms were also split apart, and the straw hair stuffed inside was all exposed.

"Okay, after destroying these things, it looks much more pleasing to the eye."

Wei Tao threw the long knife back to Gan Liang, turned around and walked out of the house, "It doesn't matter if they are humans or ghosts, if these skinned puppets are really important, then I can wait for them to come to me with peace of mind.

Even if it is not important to those guys, we can still use the method of elimination to make a verification, which is not bad. "

After leaving this row of houses, there is a straight road paved with stone slabs.

It leads all the way to the garden at the back.

There are dense vegetation growing on both sides of the road.

You can also vaguely see the original plan.

It just looks a bit messy and dilapidated because it has been left unattended for a long time.

The garden has long since lost the scene of clusters of flowers, leaving only the rockery standing silently in the continuous rain, mixed with the surrounding half-yellow tones, giving people a dark and gloomy feeling.

Click!

Wei Tao trampled off a dead branch, scaring the mice looking for food not far away, and disappeared into the hole in no time.

He walked on through the garden and came to the door of a lonely ancestral temple.

It looks much cleaner here, unlike other places that are overgrown with weeds and dilapidated.

Supporting the bamboo hat on his head, Wei Tao asked, "Old Gan, when you were investigating earlier, was there incense burning in this furnace?"

Gan Liang came up to take a look, his expression suddenly changed, "My lord, I can be sure that there were no such incense sticks before."

After a pause, he continued, "The stele was discovered here just now, but I ignored the environment around the ancestral hall.

If it had been left unattended for a long time, the ancestral hall would not be what it is now. "

For a manor that has been abandoned for a long time, it is not normal for the ancestral hall to still have incense.

But looking at the decline of other places, it does not meet the situation of people living here.

The only possibility is that the manor is uninhabited.

But some people come back from time to time to pay homage, and clean up the sanitation inside and outside the ancestral hall by the way.

After coming out of the ancestral hall, several people carefully inspected other places.

But nothing more was found.

It's getting late.

Wei Tao left the manor, took one last look at the broken stone lion in front of the door, and quickly sank into the vast wind and rain.

........................

Dark night.

The gold drying field in the dark looks extraordinarily gloomy and silent.

Miss Fang has a bad appetite, so she only ate a bowl of porridge and rice at night.

Before going to bed, I felt a little hungry, so I put on my clothes and went out, planning to find someone to get some snacks to satisfy my hunger.

Somewhat beyond her expectation, the maid who was supposed to live next door was not in the house.

The hallway was pitch black.

Even a lantern lit at a corner cannot illuminate everything.

A gust of whirlwind blew past, engulfed in a large amount of water mist, and instantly extinguished the two lanterns.

Miss Fang shuddered and hesitated whether to continue looking for food.

After a while, she finally made a choice.

Continue to walk towards the kitchen.

The whole yard was silent.

Except for the sound of wind and rain, only her footsteps kept ringing.

"Miss, where are you going?"

Suddenly, a faint female voice sounded from behind.

Miss Fang suddenly trembled, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

"Xiaohuan, why are you walking so silently like a cat? It almost made me sick from fright."

"Where did you go just now, you dead girl? I didn't see anyone in your room just now."

She turned around coquettishly, and the smile on her face froze instantly.

pat!

An oil lamp in his hand fell to the ground.

The hot oil spread quickly and a blazing flame arose.

Miss Fang's eyes were terrified, and she stepped back step by step.

"Thin skin, thin skin, that's what it means!"

She stared at the thin human skin illuminated by the firelight and the thick darkness covered by the human skin, her mind was almost blank.

"Miss, what do you want to eat?"

"The servant girl will go get it for you."

Xiaohuan's tone was faint, sounding from the darkness behind the human skin.

"Go away, you go away!"

Miss Fang screamed terribly, tripped over herself, and crawled backwards on hands and feet.

"Miss, don't run away, tell me."

"If you don't tell me, how will the servant know what you want to eat?"

The human skin dangled, pressing forward step by step.

Miss Fang screamed and closed her eyes.

At this moment, the wind suddenly broke out.

A figure in a coir raincoat stood in the courtyard.

He raised his bamboo hat slightly, and looked at Miss Fang who was screaming in panic in the corridor.
