"anyone there?"
Bai Jinyi opened the door gently and carefully looked inside the room. The dim gaze made both of them squint.
It was a sunny day outside, and the sunshine was just right, but there was a musty smell inside the house. There was an incense burner placed on an old desk, and green smoke floated out from it, mixing with the smell of moldy paper in the house, which made people frown.
The space inside Yue Mansion is not small, but not wide. There is a tall wooden frame against the wall, and there is a solid wood staircase two meters next to the desk. The steps are dark and the original color can no longer be seen.
There was a young man in Tsing Yi arranging books on the bookshelf, and the musty smell emanated from there. There was also an old man sitting on a chair with his back to the door, his lusterless white hair swaying slightly, and he was humming. Playing an unknown tune.
Hearing Bai Jinyi's voice, the old man behind the desk stopped, and his low hum turned into a chuckle: "You two have been observing outside for an hour. Don't you know if anyone is there?"
Um? Discovered? !
Ye Yuxi's body stiffened subconsciously, and a cold light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Bai Jinyi was quite calm, and gently shook Ye Yuxi's jade hand with his broad palm. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said respectfully: "This junior came to Nanchang for the first time, so he is not very clear about the rules in the city, so he is a little cautious. I hope senior will forgive me." .”
"Okay, those of you who came from other parts of the mainland are basically of the same virtue. You are all here to worship the mountain. Ah Fei, bring them up."
The boy in Tsing Yi who was sorting books in front of the bookshelf stopped what he was doing when he heard this, turned around, walked up to the two of them, bowed slightly as a salute, and said to them: "You two, please come this way."
A Fei made a gesture of invitation, and Bai Jinyi and Ye Yuxi followed him up the steps.
Squeak, squeak~
After the two of them stepped up the steps, the old man behind the Android shook gently again.
Since the stairs were not far from the desk, the two of them could see the old man on one side of the stairs.
As Ye Yuxi walked up, she glanced subconsciously out of curiosity, but this glance made her eyes suddenly widen!
Ye Yuxi stiffened and stretched out Bai Jinyi's sleeves in front of her.
"Huh?" Bai Jinyi's attention was entirely focused on the young man in Tsing Yi in front of him, and he felt Ye Yuxi's abnormally raised steps stiffen.
Following Ye Yuxi's instructions, Bai Jinyi's pupils dilated a bit as he glanced at it!
The old man shaking gently behind the desk is not a living person at all! But a dense white skeleton!
What is shocking is that the skeleton is leaning on the back of the chair and shaking gently in a very regular manner!
"You two, please come with me."
The boy in Tsing Yi seemed to be accustomed to Bai Jinyi and Ye Yuxi's reaction. He paused and made an inviting gesture to the two of them again.
Ye Yuxi and Bai Jinyi averted their eyes and followed A Fei as he turned a corner in the middle of the stairs and walked up to the second floor step by step.
After seeing the strange white skeleton, both of them felt inexplicably heavy, and they also vaguely understood why the old man from the Mianhe Sect had gone out with a cold face.
Approaching the second floor, the light in front suddenly became abundant, and the inexplicable depression faded a lot.
"The things on the first floor are just some tricks. I hope they didn't scare you two."
At the entrance to the second floor, a middle-aged man in his forties was already standing there. He was also dressed in Tsing Yi. However, compared to A Fei who was leading the way, this middle-aged man's clothes had more peculiar patterns and embroidery on his chest. Marked like a mountain peak.
