Volume 3: The Sword That Shines on the Demon Clan Chapter 80: Sudden Change
Murong Aotian paused, but finally ran out.
He had just entered the yard and was rushing towards the room where Zhang Wanquan and Wang Chen had entered, but suddenly he heard a "splash" of water coming from the lonely well in the yard.
Murong Aotian was stunned for a moment and stopped inexplicably. He slowly turned around and looked at the dry well protruding from the ground.
Then his eyes widened, with an inexplicable thoughtful look on his face, and he slowly walked over.
In sight, the wellhead is getting closer and closer.
Under the dim light, the wellhead seemed to have turned into a bottomless abyss.
Just when he was only one step away from the well, a scream came from the hall.
The scream brought Murong Aotian back to his senses with a start.
"Did something happen to Luo Qingye?" He became anxious and ran to the hall.
At this time, a chaotic sound of footsteps was heard from the room behind, and Zhang Wanquan and Wang Chen rushed out one after another.
"What happened?" Zhang Wanquan asked.
Murong Aotian did not answer, and the three of them quickly returned to the hall.
The oil lamp flickered, illuminating Luo Qingye's frightened face.
Looking at the scene in front of them, the three of them were slightly stunned.
In the corner of the living room, a crazy woman was lying in a pool of blood, her limbs twisted strangely, her eyes wide open, as if in fear and disbelief. But judging from the posture that was impossible for an ordinary person to make, she was already dead.
Luo Qingye stood in the corner in horror, looking at a loss.
" What ?" Zhang Wanquan asked as he walked towards the woman's body.
"I don't know..." Luo Qingye shook his head repeatedly, as if trying to prove that he really didn't know what happened.
Zhang Wanquan looked at the corpse carefully and saw that the back of the head was sunken and a horrible bloody hole appeared in the sunken area. He raised his head and looked at Luo Qingye and said,
"Such a big thing happened, and you didn't know anything?"
This question suddenly woke Luo Qingye from her trance. She saw three pairs of suspicious eyes looking at her and said anxiously: "I really don't know. I was thinking about something. I just heard her scream and fall to the ground . Her whole body made crackling sounds, and then a big pool of blood appeared. I really don't know anything!" As she spoke, her voice was already tearful.
"Did you see anything?" Zhang Wanquan stood up. He was a head taller than Luo Qingye, and this made Luo Qingye feel a sense of oppression.
"I didn't see anything..." Luo Qingye's voice was a little weak.
"Then how do you explain these bloodstains?" Zhang Wanquan grabbed Luo Qingye's hand and lifted it up. He saw that the cuffs were covered with bright red bloodstains, which seemed to have not dried yet.
His eyes suddenly widened as he stared at the bloodstain, Luo Qingye showed an expression of disbelief, and shook his head repeatedly: "I don't know, I really don't know!" After that, he looked at Murong Aotian for help, and then at Wang Chen.
Murong Aotian frowned. He was already somewhat aggressive to begin with, and this frown made him look even more ferocious.
Dadada... Dadada... The strange and familiar sound once again sounded in the depths of this haunted house.
Hearing the sound, Zhang Wanquan looked into the depths of the haunted house with a serious expression.
"What's that sound?" Murong Aotian looked at Zhang Wanquan. In his memory, this sound seemed to have sounded for the second time, and it sounded twice.
"Ghost knocking on the door." Zhang Wanquan's voice seemed to be trembling. "When evil ghosts appear, they will make such sounds, like tapping the coffin board with fingernails. It is called ghost knocking on the door. If you hear such sounds in the outside world, it means that the evil ghost has found someone. If there is no rescue by a master, it will be a dead end. At this time, the evil ghost only made two knocking sounds, which means that he has not fully awakened. Once such sounds are made continuously, it will be our death."
Zhang Wanquan gave Murong Aotianhe and Wang Chen a serious look, and said, "I'm afraid we don't have much time left. If we are dragged here by the ghosts again, it will be all over."
"Don't leave me." Luo Qingye understood the intention of Zhang Wanquan's action, but because of what happened just now, she was afraid of being suspected and then abandoned.
Zhang Wanquan said nothing and turned to walk into the inner room.
Wang Chen secretly felt that something was wrong. Zhang Wanquan initially directed everyone's suspicion towards Luo Qingye, but then he tacitly agreed to Luo Qingye's participation, obviously confirming that there was nothing wrong with Luo Qingye.
"If he is sure of Luo Qingye's innocence, why doesn't he speak out? What is he guarding against?"
"Does this have anything to do with the note he gave me?"
His heart was in turmoil until the three people left one after another. Only then did Wang Chen react and was about to follow them.
But out of the corner of his eye he suddenly noticed a dagger next to the female corpse.
He picked it up and saw that it was a dagger made of ordinary iron. It was not very sharp and would be considered a defective product even in the Fan Kingdom.
After hesitating for a moment, he put the dagger back at his waist.
Although this action was silent, Zhang Wanquan still noticed something unusual. He stopped, turned around, looked at Wang Chen, and said lightly, "What's wrong, brother Jiang Yu?"
Wang Chen was startled and glanced at Zhang Wanquan. He felt that the elegant face looked slightly strange under the illumination of the spirit stone in his hand.
"Nothing, just a little scared." Wang Chen said lightly.
Zhang Wanquan stopped talking, turned around, and with the light of the spirit stone, his figure gradually merged into the darkness.
The few of them walked without stopping, and soon passed through the cold courtyard. In front of them appeared an independent cottage, which looked like the master bedroom of the house. Not far away, a low wall could be seen around the bedroom, and several wide wooden steps led directly to the door of the room.
This house is not big to begin with, and after such a long period of exploration, this is the last unknown place.
At this time, Zhang Wanquan stopped walking, his face solemn, he reached out and took out a few things, handed them over one by one, and whispered: "These four magic tools are originally a set, they are my most powerful treasures for exorcism. Now is a matter of life and death. If the evil spirit is in this room, I will cast a spell to kill it. During this process, you must remember not to let go of the magic tools in your hands, so that my magic power can echo with the magic tools in your hands, and the four of us can gather our strength to kill the evil spirit and escape."
While listening, Zhang Muran and Murong Aotian took the magic weapons handed over by Zhang Wanquan, which were a small knife and a small awl. Zhang Muran held the small knife tightly, as if he had a magic weapon to protect himself, and even his courage grew a little.
Seeing that Wang Chen did not move, Zhang Wanquan said again: "Brother Jiang Yu, this is not the time to hesitate. Whether we can escape depends on this move." As he said that, he handed over a white jade bowl magic weapon.
These words gave the two hope of escaping. Zhang Muran and Murong Aotian looked at Wang Chen at the same time with doubt in their eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Chen finally reached out and took the jade bowl in his hand.
Zhang Wanquan then turned around and slowly walked up the stairs.
