Chapter 126 125. A faint vision, a glimmer of light

The last inner area of ​​the haunted house.

There are many houses located here.

But it was different from the haunted house that Xu Qing and his friends had seen before.

Although the previous building was eerie, it was in good condition, but here.
Dilapidated, bleak, dilapidated, desolate,
The blue bricks on the ground were covered with dust, the walls, doors and windows were covered with stains, and the air was filled with the peculiar stench of rotting wood.

The whole environment here gave Xu Qing a feeling.
It's like a piece of wreckage that refuses to be buried in the past, or like an indelible stain on the earth.

Xu Qing and his group walked in this last inner residence area.

Apart from the singing voice at the beginning, there was no other danger, but for some reason,
The further they went in, the heavier their hearts felt.

An indescribable palpitation gripped them.

After passing through rooms and corridors, they saw a solitary embroidery building at the end of the road.

The pavilion is exquisite, with upturned eaves and closed lattice windows. On the front of the building, there is a plaque with six large characters "People in Peach Blossom Spring" inscribed on it.

The three characters "Taohuayuan" seemed to have been scratched with fingernails by someone, so only their outline could be barely seen.

However, at this time,
Everyone's attention was not focused on looking at the embroidered building, but was attracted by the light coming out from the small lattice windows.

But see,

In the embroidery building, a figure with a bun on his head appeared.
She hummed a little tune, her voice was sad and gentle,
Her hands kept threading the needle and doing needlework.

A candle was burning on the table, casting her silhouette on the lattice window.

Outside the embroidery building,
Seeing the silhouette on the lattice window and listening to the sad little song, everyone's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Didn’t they say that the owner of the haunted house is missing?

But the scene in front of me doesn’t seem to be like this!
at this time,

As if she had heard the voices of the people outside the building, the figure doing needlework turned around and looked through the window at Xu Qing and others.

Through the closed lattice window,

Xu Qing and the others clearly felt a gaze falling on them, and for a moment they felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave. The feeling of horror rose from their tailbone all the way up to their minds.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

After staring for a moment, the figure in the embroidery building put down her needlework, stood up and walked to the window, and placed her hands on the edge of the window.
squeak-

The window was pushed open a crack from the inside, and the candlelight in the room immediately poured out from the gap.

Xu Qing and others looked up in surprise.

Dimly see,
A line of ghost lights reveals a peach blossom face.
Outside the haunted house,

The inner hall of Huai'an City Government Office.

Zhu Shenyuan, the prefect of Huai'an, wearing a fourth-rank cloud goose scarlet robe, was buried in documents, handling official business.

At this moment, the official seal on the table suddenly floated into the air and shone brightly.

Zhu Shenyuan's eyes focused and he quickly grasped the official seal. A piece of information flowed into his mind.

"Something happened at the haunted house?"

Zhu Shenyuan's face changed drastically and he stood up suddenly.

Then his figure flashed and disappeared in the inner hall of the yamen, and appeared above the area connecting Tianguangxu and Huai'an City.

Under the control of the government, this place is secluded and sparsely populated.

There were no lights burning on the moonlit night.

However, at this moment,
There were wisps of green fire spreading out from the surrounding void, illuminating the place clearly.

Zhu Shenyuan looked solemn and released the official seal. A large amount of national fortune flowed out of the seal to suppress this place.

"Why did something unexpected happen to that haunted house?" Zhu Shenyuan was thinking about the cause of the incident in the haunted house while he was suppressing the area.

The country has great fortune,

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of all parties in the city. The first to arrive were Mr. Zhang Mingyue, the Tongzhi, and Mr. Chen Guangxian, the Tongpan.

Zhang, Chen and Zhu Shenyuan are the highest-ranking officials in Huai'an City and the entire Huai'an Prefecture.

"Sir, what happened to the haunted house? It has been peaceful for so many years, why did something unexpected happen tonight?"

As the highest officials in the area, Zhang and Chen naturally knew about the changes in the haunted house through the official seal.

"I don't know." Zhu Shenyuan shook his head. "Let me seal this place first. We can't let the haunted house show up in the city! Otherwise, Huai'an will be destroyed."

"Yes."

Zhang and Chen looked at each other, put away their doubts, and released their official seals together, urging the national destiny to assist Zhu Shenyuan in sealing off the area.

The actions of the three people startled the noble families, martial arts schools, and independent practitioners in the city who were paying attention.

For a while, all forces were speculating on what had happened in the city that caused the three highest officials in the area to take personal action.

Countless spies were sent out at the fastest speed.

Tao Yiqing, the head of the Tao family, is naturally no exception.

But compared to other forces that were still confused, he obviously had more information about this incident.

So when the noise came,
An expression of deep worry and fear immediately appeared on his face.

"Don't get caught." Tao Yiqing kept muttering, "Dad, don't blame me. I had no choice."

"Without strength, I, the head of the family, am just a figurehead, and I don't have the final say in this family."

Tao Yiqing seemed to be venting his fear by muttering to himself:
"That mysterious person promised me that as long as I use your corpse to set up the formation, I can use the blessing of blood to help me break through quickly."

"Only in this way can I secure my position as the head of the family."

"Dad, I'm doing this all for our Tao family!"

at the same time.

Southern Capital.

A place rich in treasures and a prosperous and beautiful city.

It was once the capital of the country. Later, the capital was moved north, but the six ministries of the imperial court were still located here.

No need for official reminders,

The Minister of Rites, who was resting at home, felt something in his heart and looked up towards Huai'an.

"Something happened in that haunted house in Huai'an?"

"At this time?"

The figure of the Minister of Rites flashed and appeared in the North Pole Exorcism Institute in Nandu.

"Something happened in that haunted house in Huai'an." The Minister of Rites said to the Southern Dipper Star God, "Are any of your constellations nearby? Ask them to go over and take a look immediately."

Nan Dou Xingjun nodded: "Kui Mulang is over there, I will ask him to go over and take a look."

"The haunted house is of great importance, so don't take it lightly." The Minister of Rites said in a deep voice, "Especially at this time when the old dragon is trying to escape across the river."

"Don't worry, I know this."

The Southern Dipper Star God's expression remained unchanged:

"Even if we don't consider the fate of the previous dynasty sealed in that haunted house, if a seventh-level ghost leaks a little power, it will be no less than a catastrophic disaster for Huai'an."

Somewhere deep in the mountains.

The man wearing the Qilin mask felt something and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Huai'an's national destiny has been triggered.
Huai'an government, Yuanfu Temple, and even Nandu will definitely be involved in the next period of time.
Tell Hu Jun that when the evil infant is complete, you can prepare to cross the river. "

The Gu Master wearing the Taotie mask nodded, took out a sound-transmitting insect, and informed the old dragon far away in Hongze Lake of the news.
