"You are the first group of guests to enter the mansion in the past two decades. As I said earlier, we have no malice. We just want to entertain the two of you."
"Of course, because we can't leave this mansion, we are naturally isolated from the outside world, and we don't know the current world."
"If the two of you are willing to share the changes in the outside world with us, then we are really grateful."
The black shadow on the crutches clearly and concisely translated all the intermittent words.
Ouyang Rong was taken aback for a moment, unable to communicate with the outside world, so he didn't quite understand the situation of the outside world. After thinking about it carefully, the credibility of the words was quite high.
"The outside world? It should be referring to the gray domain." Ouyang Rong thought for a while, and said with a smile on her face.
"You guys are so kind, and we will naturally not refuse."
Ouyang Rong looked directly at the black shadow holding the broom, and after a short thought, said without hesitation.
"The current situation outside is in a peaceful period, and neither human forces nor the forces of demons and ghosts are prepared to provoke a sword..."
Ouyang Rong didn't understand this. After spending more than ten minutes, he finally explained what he knew and tried his best.
"Although we have gradually lost the sense of time, we sometimes miss the past." The black shadow translator who lived on the crutches said, and then stopped speaking, because the black shadow holding the broom fell into silence.
When Ouyang Rong saw that the black shadow holding the broom didn't doubt his answer, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The black shadow holding the tableware appeared silently from the side, and when he approached the oval table, he began to replace the silver tableware on the table and set out the desserts one by one.
Looking at the compact dessert, Ouyang Rong has no appetite in his heart. Now he is thinking about how to safely escape from this mansion.
"No... Xing... for... death." The black shadow holding the broom said intermittently.
Not far away, the black shadow on crutches also hurriedly translated.
"I wonder if the two are interested in becoming immortal beings just like us."
The plain words made Ouyang Rong's expression instantaneously stagnant. The Lingzhi girl blinked. She could not understand the old sayings, but could see the changes in Ouyang Rong's mood.
"Ahem, thank you for your kindness, I don't think it is necessary." Ouyang Rong smiled and said, her right hand holding the silver spoon was sweating because of tension.
"If this is the case, then of course we will not force..."
Ouyang Rong's hanging heart couldn't help but let go a little, but the next second, it suddenly became too high.
"But if you can, can you chat with us before dusk?"
Ouyang Rong was taken aback for a moment, and the other party's problems became more and more strange, which made him have to be vigilant. Finally, after careful consideration, he nodded and agreed.
After the dessert was also removed, the table was replaced with a cup of colorful drinks.
Ouyang Rong gently smelled it with the tip of his nose, and the Lingzhi girl was also waiting for his response, and did not act rashly.
"Ordinary drinks?" It became more and more strange. Ouyang Rong whispered softly, and after the other shadows picked up the cup, she took a sip of caution.
"Well, a very ordinary drink." Ouyang Rong nodded with certainty. He looked at the Lingzhi girl, his eyes indicating that there was no problem with her.
"Whether it is these silver tableware or this wonderful dessert, it was 50 years ago-no, it should have been brought by the group of guests 30 years ago."
The shadow on crutches said softly, as if saying, "Even if we can't leave here, we will always follow the times".
Listening to the other party's words, Ouyang Rong's doubts in his heart were also solved. In order to satisfy the other party's request, Ouyang Rong could only tentatively continue.
"Those guests are the same as us, did they enter here by mistake without knowing the inside of this mansion?" Ouyang Rong asked softly, and the shadow on crutches replied directly.
"This is not the case. Those guests are the children of a group of guests who have been here a long time ago. When they arrived, they specially prepared these silver tableware for us."
When Ouyang Rong heard this, her expression remained unchanged. Since the other party did not reject this topic, she only had to follow the conversation smoothly.
"As long as the gray sun sinks, I hope that the feather of the gray Ge has not set off."
After filtering out his thoughts, Ouyang Rong ignored him, and started to delay time by virtue of his not-good eloquence.
Time passed very quickly, unknowingly, one or two hours passed. During this period of time, Ouyang Rong gradually discovered that these shadows really seemed to have not spoken for decades, one by one was simply chatting. The best.
Among the black shadows, the black shadow holding the broom should have the highest status, but at this moment, because of the stutter, he was completely unable to speak.
On the oval table of Nuo Da, if you want to say that the person who is more painful than the black shadow holding the broom, it must be the Ganoderma lucidum girl.
She had a blank face and a dull expression. As early as an hour ago, she was still losing her temper to Ouyang Rong, but after a while, she gave up completely.
Ouyang Rong talked to them with one sentence in the east and one sentence in the west.
As time passed, the sky outside gradually became gloomy, and the gray sun was about to make contact with the horizon. Similarly, the people who had gone out from the Feather of Gray Ge began to return to the boat in twos and threes.
"It seems that time is coming." A gentle voice came from the shadows.
Ouyang Rong showed a surprised look. The person who said this was the black shadow holding the broom stuttering. Other shadows of various shapes were also quiet for a moment. A scent of flowers appeared on the entire oval table. .
Ouyang Rong hadn't noticed for the first time, but in the next second, he realized that the problem was wrong.
In front of the oval table, those black shadows that seemed to be chattering were disappearing one by one, without a warning or a trace of sound.
Until the end, the kettle and crutches all disappeared, and only three people remained on the oval table.
"I have heard rumors from past guests. It is said that people who have seen us are eager to come here at the last second of their lives."
"It's ridiculous." The black shadow holding the broom stroked the dilapidated broom, his "eyes" staring straight at Ouyang Rong.
"I asked before, are you interested in becoming immortal beings—"
"I've asked all the people who came this question, but they all answered the same."
The black shadow holding the broom placed the broom on his knees, and in its "eyes", above every seat, there was a flower of dusk that Ouyang Rong could not see.
"Really... ridiculous—"
It finally repeated the previous words, and disappeared in the eyes of Ouyang Rong and the Lingzhi girl.
In this mansion, on this oval table, no traces ever existed.
……
"Is it ridiculous?" Ouyang Rong took a leisurely pace. Regarding what happened today, there was no fluctuation in his heart.
"Sir, why are you so calm? We will not be able to make the departure soon!" The Lingzhi girl pinched Ouyang Rong's ear and said solemnly.
When Ouyang Rong heard this, her expression changed, and she quickly began to speed up.
He didn't tell the Lingzhi girl his thoughts about this mansion or these curses, after all, the hidden history under that epiphany is too terrible. (End of this chapter)
