It was getting late, Kong Yuhui and the two came back soon, and found two rooms next to the crowd.
Everyone got together again, leaned on the carriage and built a fire with the branches and dry firewood in the yard, gathered together to solve the food and drink, and then went back to their rooms to adjust their breath and rest.
The sky was gloomy, and soon it was completely dark.
Lin Xin can't wash up. As a modern person, he is used to washing up every day, but he is really not used to it here.
But there is no way, the water in the pond is dirty at first glance and cannot be used at all.
He lay on the bed with his clothes closed for a while, the rotten wooden bed creaked, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Looking at the moonlight shining faintly outside the window, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Simply getting up, Lin Xin walked to the wooden door and looked into the yard through the broken window.
The carriage was tied up in the right corner of the yard, the horses stood quietly, motionless, and the bonfire beside the carriage was faintly glowing red.
call...
Lin Xin let out a sigh of relief. This mission was chosen by him carefully. The threat level of the mission was low, but the reward was quite high, which was 20 yuan. And by joining the team, you can gain a little experience.
Ga...
Suddenly, there was a faint cry of a crow in the distance.
"This place is really a bit gloomy." Lin Xin grasped the hilt of the sword that never left his waist. This sword is an array that he has worked so hard to make. He calls this powerful weapon with a limited number of uses and unknown power an array.
The gentle hilt gave him a sense of security.
Turning around, he groped towards the bed in the dark, preparing to lie down for a while.
Suddenly a black shadow faintly flashed from outside, and was caught by the corner of his eye.
Lin Xin turned around abruptly, hid by the broken window, and looked out sideways.
In the yard, a man in black was walking slowly along the pond towards the door. That person seemed to be wearing a skirt with a very long hem. He walked very slowly, with his back to Lin Xin, and he couldn't see Lin Xin clearly at all.
Lin Xin looked at it carefully, and felt that the back was a bit familiar.
"It's so late, who could it be?" If he couldn't fall asleep and woke up just now, he definitely wouldn't find this figure.
The other party walked slowly, but made no sound, as if he was floating.
Along the way, he had long felt that there was something wrong with Kong Yuhui in the team. Although this guy seemed indifferent, he always gave people the feeling that he was hiding something.
"Could it be Kong Yuhui?" He frowned slightly, and suddenly saw that the figure seemed to be aware of it, and was about to turn around to look this way, but he quickly turned his head back into the room, his gaze fell on the wall.
The room was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Slowing down a little, Lin Xin slowly looked out from the edge again.
! ! ! !
Suddenly a pale face was pressed against the window, staring at him.
ah!
Lin Xin was startled, and jumped away, clenched the hilt of his sword and almost pulled it out, but when he blinked again, there was nothing outside the window, only the slightly red bonfire in the yard.
Huh... Huh... .Hoo... .
The only sound in the room was his violent breathing.
"Damn it!" Lin Xin looked carefully to make sure he didn't see any traces, no faces, and the man in black in the yard was gone.
Si Jin calmed down his breath, held the hilt of the sword tightly with his arm, and slowly opened the door.
squeak... .
There was a slight sound from some decayed doors, Lin Xin took a step slowly, and quickly looked around. There were dark corridors leading to shadows on both sides, and there was no movement.
He focused on the room on the right, there was no sound in it, it was Ouyang Qing's room.
"It's impossible for them to hear such a loud noise just now." Lin Xin moved slowly vigilantly, trying not to let himself make a sound, and walked slowly to the window of Ouyang Qing's room to look in.
There seemed to be a person lying on the bed with his back facing him. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, only a silhouette could be seen.
He thought about it, but still didn't disturb the other party. He himself couldn't tell if he was dazzled just now. But obviously the previous fright had made him more vigilant.
"Sure enough, there is no such a delicious free lunch in the world. It is obviously unreasonable for only a few of our disciples on the first and second floors to take on a mission with low threat and high reward."
A thought crossed my mind.
"However, most of the people in this team who dare to take on this task have their own trump card, and they should be confident."
Including himself too.
After figuring this out, Lin Xin didn't think too much about it anymore. If the face just now was real, then he had found himself, and if he wanted to harm himself, he would definitely come to him again. If it's just hallucinations, it's nothing to worry about.
After he figured it out, he went back to his room lightly, closed the door, ignored everything, and just lay down in his clothes.
But the hand is always holding the hilt of the sword tightly.
In this environment, he couldn't trust the people in the team, and he was the only one who kept vigilance at all times.
Before he knew it, he vaguely felt that he had fallen asleep, and the sky outside gradually turned pale.
I don't know how long it has been.
Bang bang bang.
The knock on the door caused Lin Xin to open his eyes suddenly. He jumped up from the bed, and the hilt of his sword was almost out of its sheath.
"who!"
"I, Junior Brother Lin, it's time to go." Ouyang Qing's voice was a little surprised, as if he was a little puzzled by Lin Xin's vigilance.
"Oh... I see. Come out immediately." Lin Xin was relieved at this moment, and looked outside, the courtyard was golden and the sun was scorching, which was the warmest time.
After tidying up her body in a hurry, Lin Xin went out and saw that the other people in the yard had already arrived.
The Shi family brothers yawned continuously, Jiang Yue'er and Cheng Ruofei also had dark circles under their eyes, and they didn't rest well.
On the other hand, Ouyang Qing and Kong Yuhui looked normal, especially Kong Yuhui, who was carrying a small black cloth bag and didn't know what was in it.
"The task this time is to get rid of the Yinblood Birds, but this kind of Yinblood Birds only appear in graveyards, so we have to go to the surrounding area first. There are unclean things around here, so I choose the one with the strongest yang energy at noon. It's time to leave, do you have any opinions?" Kong Yuhui seemed to have a sullen face at all times, and in the previous life earth, it was a standard facial paralysis. In addition, he is handsome, noble, of extraordinary background, and has a leadership temperament.
Lin Xin couldn't help but feel a little upset, as if he was being overwhelmed by the other party.
"No problem, but I heard that Senior Sister Ouyang is not on this mission for the first time?" Cheng Ruofei suddenly asked.
Ouyang Qing smiled and nodded.
"Yes, this is my third time participating in this mission."
"Hasn't the Yinblood Bird been cleaned up yet?" Jiang Yue'er asked.
"Every once in a while, a large number of Yinblood birds will gather here, so we also need to come and clean them up every once in a while. Don't worry, it's just a group of vicious birds. With so many of us, it should be easy to complete the task." Ouyang Qing smiled. "The only difficulty is that this mission takes too long. It will take more than a month just to go back and forth, not to mention waiting for the right time for the Yinblood Bird to appear. The rewards are not very generous for those experts. So simply assign it to us low-level disciples to form a team to complete."
Lin Xin and the Shi brothers also nodded. It was indeed the reason she said, and it was also the reason why Lin Xin dared to join the team alone.
"But everyone should be careful." Kong Yuhui's voice was always cold, "People died in the previous missions. This mission is easy to say, and difficult to say."
Everyone should be, and then checked the condition of the lower body, and then, under the leadership of Kong Yuhui and Ouyang Qing, they left the mansion and walked out of the town.
**
On the winter side of the town, there is a yellow-green wilderness slope, with messy grass and sparse stones mixed together, when the breeze blows, you can hear a subtle whining sound from time to time.
A group of seven people went up the slope, only to see that the slope was densely packed with tombstones, some were stone tablets, and some were decayed wooden signs.
Lin Xin squatted down and wiped on a slightly clearer stone tablet, and a layer of white stone powder fell off immediately. The writing on it is completely illegible.
"Evidently this town has been abandoned for less than 30 years, why is the stone tablet here so weathered?" He whispered.
After being taken aback last night, he was already very wary of this place.
"The place where the bloody bird is located is usually accompanied by a strong poison, so it is normal for the stone tablet to become like this." Ouyang Qing replied in a low voice beside him.
"Does Senior Sister Ouyang know about the situation in this town?" Lin Xin asked casually.
"Well, I know a little bit." Ouyang Qing's face showed a solemn expression. "Once upon a time, this was a place where secular princes lived in seclusion. Then something happened, which caused... Be careful!"
Suddenly, before she could finish her sentence, she drew out her sword suddenly, and the silver chain flew, hitting the empty space behind Lin Xin hard.
laugh! !
The blade of the sword seemed to have hit something, making a crisp sound.
Lin Xin only felt that Jiang Yue'er behind her exclaimed, as if she had been hit by something, and turned around quickly.
"Get out of the way! I'm coming!" Before he could see what was going on, he heard Kong Yuhui's voice coldly.
With a swish, the red pine swordsmanship of the Pine Forest Sword Sect unsheathed in an instant, a sword pierced from the side, and hit a black mass of unknown things fiercely.
The thing was rolling towards Jiang Yue'er, but it was hit by this sword, and it screamed and disappeared with a whoosh!
Jiang Yue'er drew out the sword and held it in her hand, her face was pale, and the clothes on the high part of her chest were slightly damaged, obviously she was almost caught by the black thing just now.
Her clothes were severely torn open on both sides, as if torn apart by some sharp claws, and it seemed that the thing was trying to tear Jiang Yue'er's entire chest open. At this time, through the torn white skirt, one can still see that the underwear worn inside has also been torn apart, revealing the half circle of the plump and towering chest.
If it wasn't for Ouyang Qing and Kong Yuhui's timely rescue, Jiang Yue'er might have been gutted just now.
However, Lin Xin and the Shi family brothers didn't have time to draw their swords from the beginning to the end, and the whole process was over. The speed of that thing is too fast, if it weren't for Kong Yuhui and Ouyang Qing's astonishingly fast swordsmen, I'm afraid it would be really troublesome.
Lin Xin's forehead was also covered with cold sweat, if that thing attacked him...
