The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1042
The man named Lu Renyi was killed in the area of ​​the right side room, and his body was temporarily transferred to the unoccupied side room by his disciples for temporary burial. This time there was another ghost on the left side, probably because there were people on the right side Guard, so it's not easy to do things.

But what exactly...

Look at it first.

Lin Tianci walked towards the moon gate in the left side room, and many people present did not believe in evil. Except for the few who chased him, the rest followed him to the so-called haunted place. That's how the plot is set up.

This villa has a completely symmetrical structure. There are two guest rooms on both sides of the main hall in the center. Lin Tianci leads Linglong and walks in the front. When entering the moon gate, the first thing you see is the side room on the right. There is exactly the same small garden on the other side, but there is no pool here, and the unattended garden grows wantonly and looks messy.

Judging from this state, nothing that might be regarded as a ghost was found.

At this time, the people behind who were a step behind also followed with torches. Under the light of the fire, they formed dim spots of light. At least they could see things in this dark cloud-covered environment.

Through this, Lin Tianci saw a series of stumbling footprints. Although there are indeed many footprints around, this series of panic footprints should be left by the person who just yelled hell. That's right. Looking at the direction, it should be deeper in the wing. place.

So Brother Lin didn't hesitate at all, and followed closely, even the people behind holding the torch panicked, Lin Tianci just rushed in without any fear.

After all, a real ghost is always lying on his back, so there is nothing to be afraid of...

Regardless of whether it is the wing on the left or the right, it can be roughly divided into two sections, that is, the front wing and the back wing, rather than a house that is full of people at first glance.

Following the footprints, everyone walked through the covered corridor connecting the front and rear wing rooms, turned a corner, and saw another small garden.

It is located between the front and rear wing rooms, forming a structure similar to a patio.

A candle that was thrown on the ground was still burning. It should have been thrown away in a hurry by the person just now, and the so-called hell he said...

Still nothing at all.

Lin Tianci walked over to pick up the candle, held it up and turned it around, Linglong, who was on his back and was unwilling to get off, pointed to a bush on one side and said:

"Heavenly gift, there is something dark over there."

Because the sky was dark and little brother Lin was limited to using mana, he couldn't even have luck with his eyes, so his eyes were not as good as Linglong, who is a ghost cultivator.

He took two steps in the pointed direction, groped in the bushes, felt something made of cloth, and stretched out his hand to grab it.

A large black cloth large enough to wrap a person in was groped from the bushes.

And this is not just a simple black cloth, Lin Tianci saw a few metal iron rings on it, which felt a bit like hanging curtains, and this black cloth exuded a faint smell of blood.

"Below, there's a bloodstain in the lower left corner."

Linglong's eyes were still easy to use. Lin Tianci turned to the blood spot, and he could see the half-frozen blood plasma.

This is not the kind of splattered blood, more like the blood left by the natural flow there.

So the question is, whose blood is this?What is the use of this black cloth?

Those who followed behind were chattering about the black cloth that Lin Tianci had touched, and at the same time looked around very vigilantly, for fear that a ghost might really come out.

Brother Lin is definitely not afraid of this, he held a candle and wandered around, when he moved to the side of the wing, he saw a white mark on the low wall blocking the garden, and it was still very new.

"What is this? It smells weird."

Lin Tianci also smelled the smell Linglong mentioned, it was very familiar, but he really didn't remember it for a while.

It wasn't until he glanced at the candle, or to be precise, at the candle flame, that he suddenly remembered.

"It should be the smell of burning phosphorus."

The smell was very similar to matches, and there were no matches in Eastern Shenzhou, so he didn't react immediately.

"Phosphorus fire? Is it the will-o'-the-wisp disguised by this thing that scared the man half to death?"

The composition of will-o'-the-wisps is actually phosphine formed by the decay of corpses. This thing is very flammable, and phosphorous fire is a kind of cold light, which turns blue-green, so it was considered unlucky will-o'-the-wisps in ancient times.

But in Eastern China, ghost fires are really ghosts...

It is not impossible to use yellow phosphorus (that is, white phosphorus) to disguise will-o'-the-wisps. This thing is extremely flammable, and it is likely to be a mechanism set in advance. When someone detects the vicinity, trigger the mechanism to make the yellow phosphorus burn.

At the same time, the black cloth just now may also be triggered at the same time as the yellow phosphorus burning mechanism.

When the black lamp was blind, it was only lit by a single candle. At this moment, a ball of cold light suddenly ignited on the side, and a large piece of black cloth floated down from the side...

Really scary.

But what's the point?
Just to scare people?
Leaving aside this point, Brother Lin walked around the area, but didn't see where the real mechanism was.

There was a hanging loop on the black cloth, indicating that it was probably drawn by a rope, but after looking for several minutes, he only saw scratches where a thin rope slipped on a tile of the eaves, and Can't find where the real rope is.

Perhaps the rope is also the ignition device for the phosphorous fire?
It is likely that after this mechanism is touched, the rope will be retracted automatically, and the black cloth hanging on it will fall when the rope slides, and the heat of the friction is enough to ignite the extremely flammable yellow phosphorus.

The mechanism for retrieving the rope is similar to a tape measure. It will automatically retract when the hand is loosened, so the rope cannot be seen on site.

This is roughly the meaning of the guess, but I still can't figure out why it is so troublesome.

At this time, among the group of people who came with Brother Lin, they suddenly pointed to the sky and said:
"Man! Someone is in the sky!"

When I looked up, I could see a figure with hands and feet hanging down naturally, lying on its side and flying across the sky in front of the left, like a big bat across the night sky.

A large group of NPCs who followed were taken aback, and immediately chased after the figure. They didn't know where the courage came from, since they were so frightened just now.

It can only be said that the plot is arranged like this, don't think about logic, it doesn't exist.

"Tianci, there is also a rope on it, but I can't see it clearly."

It was too dark around, Lin Tianci couldn't see anything clearly.

"The person who has just been drawn by the rope is probably already a corpse."

The NPCs who hurriedly chased after him saw that they were heading towards the back mountain, but they still said that, why?
"Wait, there are rumors of ghosts, plus a figure flying towards the back mountain..."

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?"

"It should be right."

This series of unreasonable actions should be specially arranged to attract attention. In the real situation, they will definitely not be as obedient as these NPCs, but since this is a well-established plot, there is no need to pursue rationality even if you are brain-dead. .

— because it makes no sense.

A group of people chased after the figure and ran away, while Lin Tianci and Linglong didn't move at all.

Since it is to tune the tiger away from the mountain, it means that the people who are doing things are planning to do things in a place where there is no one, and there must be people in this place just now, and there are still many people, so it is not convenient to start.

this place……

Naturally, it was the open space in front of the hall where Lin Tianci and the others stayed just now.

So Lin Tianci didn't care about chasing the crowd who ran to the back mountain, turned around and walked back.

Almost exactly as Lin Tianci guessed, when he walked to the Moon Gate, he saw a man in black standing in the open space of the front hall.

Ta put a blacksmith's iron tongs into the fire to heat up, saw Lin Tianci appearing at the moon gate, grabbed the iron tongs and...

Aim for the throat of a nearby man who is asleep in a sleeping bag.

The sudden high temperature and pain awakened the man from his sleep, but it was too late, the iron tongs tore open his throat, accompanied by a burnt smell, the man let out two hehes, his eyes widened and he died. Death.

The man in black threw away the iron tongs, intending to sneak into the right side room and escape, but at this time Lin Tianci had already rushed up, raising his hand to rip out the heart of the black tiger.

The victim was not among the three possible targets, and Lin Tianci hadn't paid attention to him. Having said that, in the messy situation just now, this person would continue to lie in his sleeping bag and fall asleep, which in itself is very strange.

Have you been drugged?so……

With these in my mind, the movements of my hands are slow at all.

The man in black is not so much wearing a black dress as he is wearing a black burqa, which is not a simple tights, and it seems that there are some special stuffing on his body, so it is impossible to tell from his figure that he is a man. It's a woman, except for her eyes, even her hands and feet are covered by black cloth.

Lin Tianci's palm aimed at the opponent's chest. Although he couldn't use mana, the square inch palm he practiced for so many years was not in vain. A simple move is enough to fight the enemy.

The latter raised his hand, and a black object blocked Lin Tianci's attacking route. There was only a soft slap, and the two of them broke apart as soon as they touched.

Lin Tianci felt as if he had hit something hard, but after a closer look, he found that it was the scabbard of a short sword or dagger.

At this time, Linglong, who was a step behind, also rushed over, and punched the man in black from the side.

However, Linglong's fist passed through as if it had hit the air. It wasn't that the man in black dodged it, but that Linglong's attack hadn't worked at all.

Here, Linglong can be regarded as an extra "spectator", so the NPCs here are treated as if Linglong does not exist, and naturally she can't meet anyone else at all.

Although he couldn't flank him, Lin Tianci had no problem dealing with the man in black.

After just two or three moves, it was obvious that it became much more difficult for the man in black to resist. Lin Tianci swung his left hand, causing the man in black's chest to open wide. Grasping this opening was just a palm.

The opponent's reaction was quite fast, and the most unfavorable situation was definitely when the chest was wide open. He turned sideways at the critical moment, and Lin Tianci aimed at the chest and hit the opponent's shoulder with a shot.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps from far to near, and the man in black did not dare to continue to entangle with Lin Tianci, so he used the force of the beating to retreat quickly, and got into the moon gate on the right.

Because he ran too fast just now, the candle in his hand had long been extinguished, and the man in black seemed to know the surrounding terrain very well, even in the small garden that was messy due to disrepair for a long time, he could quickly walk through it. Going up, I saw a blurry figure quickly merged into the darkness...
