Chapter 473 Open the coffin

Excalibur Villa was wiped out three years ago?

In the hot early autumn, the scorching sun was shining brightly, but everyone felt a chill in their hearts, as if there were cold snakes crawling on their backs.

A villa that didn’t exist three years ago, but now three years later, a bodyguard agency is entrusted to escort a coffin to the villa. Hiss, what a horror story! Eyes closed, shock written all over his face.

Zhuo Peiran, the bewitching demon, raised his brows upside down and showed a fierce look on his face, like a wild animal reacting ferociously when stimulated.

Even Chen Xuedao, who was calm and serious, suddenly became serious.

"Impossible!" Zhao Youcai said loudly:
"Shenjian Villa is a well-known force in Jianghu. If it was wiped out three years ago, why didn't we hear the news?"

Even though the Yellow Flag Bodyguard Agency had no contact with the Shenjian Villa, and the world was far and wide, but the bodyguards traveled all over the world. It is impossible for such a big event to be completely unheard of.

Chen Xuedao looked at Chai Gui, and asked in a deep voice:
"What else did Master Xuanyu say?"

Chai Gui shook his head, "Chen Biaotou, this matter is too absurd, I don't believe it, so I asked the real person Xuanyu for details, but the real person kept this matter secret and refused to reveal anything."

He paused for a moment, and said in a somewhat muffled voice: "Reverend Xuanyu also entrusted me with a message, telling us that it's best not to go to Shenjian Villa and give up this trip."

Chen Xuedao frowned immediately.

"Hmph!" Zhuo Peiran snorted coldly: "The old man refused to say anything, but advised us to give up this trip?"

His tone was extremely dissatisfied.

Chen Xuedao didn't express his opinion, but turned his head to look at his son Lin Ci.

The meaning of foster father is, look at Chai Gui's face, and beware of the dream master pretending to be?Zhang Yuanqing understood, and immediately opened his star pupils to examine Chai Gui.

Illusionists have the power of ever-changing changes, even scouts' insight skills may not be able to detect them, but astrology can crack them.

The appearance can change ever-changingly, but the palace of life cannot be changed.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the faces of the bodyguards yesterday morning, so he remembered Chai Gui's life palace.

——When he checked his face yesterday, he didn't see the bloodshed between Yang Shuo and Wang Pingle, which is why he was so shocked this morning.

The Palace of Fate remained unchanged, it was Chai Gui himself, Zhang Yuanqing who nodded calmly.

Chen Xuedao received the signal from his adopted son and no longer doubted it, but his brows frowned even tighter.

He looked around at his children and said in a low tone, "What do you think?"

Zhao Youcai: "Naturally, I will go to Shenjian Villa to find out."

Chen Wei: "That's right, no matter what kind of evil heretics are, this girl will set them all on fire."

Zhuo Peiran: "The reputation of the Yellow Flag Escort cannot be damaged."

Chen Xuedao sighed silently, and looked at Lin Ci, the youngest adoptive son:

"Ci'er, what do you think?"

Assuming that the information is true, it would seem very strange that the extermination of the Shenjian Villa had not been reported for three years, and the complexity of the plot suddenly soared.

Chen Xuedao and the others were "blinded" by the spiritual realm, so they didn't know about the extermination of the Shenjian Villa?Based on my understanding of the spirit realm, this dart trip should not be a fiction.

But this incident really happened back then. The Shenjian Villa in history was most likely to be wiped out silently. I don’t know how the Yellow Flag Escort Bureau ended. Zhang Yuanqing’s thoughts changed sharply when he heard Chen Xuedao’s question , so he asked suspiciously:

"Realist Xuanyu doesn't want to reveal the details. It seems that there are other secrets. Yifu, can his words be trusted?"

Chen Xuedao said: "Realist Xuanyu is my friend for many years."

The implication is that he believes in the information of Master Xuanyu.

Xuanyu Daoist is a fringe supporting role in the dungeon, and has little to do with this dart escort, so there is really no need to spread fake news. Zhang Yuanqing became more and more sure that the murder of the Shenjian Villa happened for real, and said:

"We've already boarded the thief ship. Abandoning the darts at this time will damage the reputation of the Escort on the one hand, and on the other hand, it's hard to deal with the murderous thing in the coffin, so we can't bring it back to the Escort.

"Besides, the remaining silver taels haven't been taken yet. I think the coffin should be sent to Shenjian Villa."

For me, no matter how weird the Excalibur Villa is, it is a follow-up matter. The top priority is to complete the side missions and deal with the enemies lurking in the dark.Zhang Yuanqing's thinking is very clear.

Chen Xuedao nodded slightly: "It makes sense."

Also agreeing to send darts, Lin Ci's argument is well-founded, and his analysis is clear. On the other hand, two sons and one daughter will only show their courage.

Zhang Yuanqing felt that Zhuo Peiran gave him a displeased look.

During these two days of getting along, he noticed that the relationship between Lin Ci and Zhuo Peiran was not good. As the eldest brother, Zhuo Peiran almost never took the initiative to communicate with him.

Obviously, he didn't like this seventh brother.

With this episode, the spirits of the bodyguards became more and more heavy, with less smiles on their faces, and more restlessness and vigilance.

But with Chen Xuedao in charge, and people who are used to licking blood from the edge of the knife, they really don't spare their lives, so no one flinches.

After lunch, under the guidance of Chen Xuedao, the bodyguards found a small stream, brushed the horse's nose, replenished water, and continued on the road.

Going south all the way, at full speed, in just three hours, I encountered two waves of bandits.

The first wave of bandits was small, with more than [-] people, Zhuo Peiran led four cavalry directly into the crowd, chopping melons and vegetables and killing them.

The leader of the bandit was a swordsman in the super-mortal realm. Facing the bewitching demon at the saint stage, he had no power to fight back, so he cut off his head with a single blow.

The scale of the second wave of bandits was larger, more than 100 people, with [-] horses, more than a dozen bows, each with a fine iron long knife, and the leader was a water ghost from the Saint Realm.

The armed forces can directly attack the county seat.

Although Chen Xuedao was an earth monster, his temperament was extremely staunch, and he still refused to pay the toll. He ordered his three sons and daughters to lead ten cavalry to charge into battle and kill the bandits.

In the evening, the sky suddenly turned overcast, and large swaths of ink clouds surged in, covering the sky, accompanied by strong winds.

"Huh~"

The strong wind kicked up the flying dust and grass clippings on the official road, and they rolled into the sky one after another.

The entire sky darkened, and the black clouds weighed heavily on the top of the head, which was extremely depressing.

This rain is not coming at the right time! Zhang Yuanqing looked up at the sky, and his heart sank.

Zhuo Peiran, galloping his horse, said loudly:
"Father, it's going to rain soon. Judging by the weather, it may be pouring rain. The sackcloth to avoid water may not be able to protect the talismans and formations on the coffin."

Chen Xuedao looked back at the black coffin, "Add another layer of water-proof clothing."

Zhuo Peiran shook his head: "It can be prevented for a while, but not overnight."

Chen Xuedao couldn't help frowning. He could manipulate the spirit of the loess to condense a layer of earth on the surface of the coffin, but the power contained in the spirit of the earth must be so thick that the horse could not pull it.

The soil shell that does not contain the spirit of the loess will be washed away in an instant when the heavy rain comes.

The bodyguards in the team are still mainly earth monsters and scouts, and there are no water ghosts.

At this time, Chen Wei happily pointed to the distance and shouted:
"Father, there is a place to stay ahead."

Everyone followed the sound and saw that on the wasteland in front of them stood a dilapidated Yizhuang, with a straight roof and a small courtyard attached, the overall color was gray and black.

It stood quietly under the gloomy sky, revealing an indescribable gloom.

But for this group of bodyguards traveling the rivers and lakes, in the wilderness, this is the best place to stay.

Chen Xuedao looked slightly relaxed, and said:

"Stay overnight at Yizhuang to take shelter from the wind and rain."

The bodyguard team immediately turned into the overgrown path, galloping like horseshoes towards Yizhuang.

This Yi Zhuang has been around for some time. The closed gate is full of corrosion holes, the font on the plaque is peeling off, there are cobwebs hanging on it, and the foundation of the courtyard wall is covered with moss.

A scene of depression and dilapidation.

But in fact, it has not been abandoned. The Yizhuang next to the official road is a social welfare facility in this era, specially accommodating those tourists who died in foreign lands.

Every once in a while, officials will bring family members to collect the corpse.

The bodyguards quickly untied the hemp rope, unloaded the coffin, unhooked the horses pulling the cart, threw the flatbed cart outside, led the horses to carry the coffin, and pushed open the gate of Yizhuang.

Passing through the narrow courtyard, pushing open the leaky lattice door, the bodyguards lead their horses in.

When Fang Fu stepped into Yizhuang, Zhang Yuanqing smelled an unpleasant rancid smell.

Looking around, there is no room in the Yizhuang. The six pillars prop up the one-shaped roof, and there are six or seven faded and blackened thin coffins, and the putrid smell is emitted from these coffins.

The escorts tied the horse ropes, cleaned the dust on the ground, and got busy.

Zhang Yuanqing handed over the horse to a bodyguard, quietly opened his star eyes, and examined the faces of each bodyguard.

Although yesterday's experience told him that astrology couldn't tell the life and death of these npcs, he still took a look out of habit.

"There is still no abnormality. I can't tell if the bodyguards are in danger. It should be that the spirit realm has blinded my perception, but why did the spirit realm do this?"

"The dream master lurking in the dark will definitely continue to attack tonight. The dream master is really troublesome. Dreams and illusions are hard to guard against."

"Compared to the evil profession, the bewitching demon is more likable, and the bewitching wizard who likes to curse and poison is also hated, but it is not as disgusting as the dream master"

"Chen Xuedao knows that the team is being targeted by the Dream Master, but he still dares to stay overnight in Yizhuang. I don't know what kind of support he has. Or is it that he is bold and not afraid of the enemy because of his skill?"

"The Dream Master didn't attack me and Chen Xuedao last night, could it be because he didn't dare to disturb this mountain god? Fortunately, Lin Ci's vest is protecting me."

"The owner of Yinyao County has hardly announced it to the public, and Xue Qiangwei has never faced a level 6 enemy, but she has used it more often. The dream master didn't recognize it last night, either because he has almost no intersection with me, or It was Lingjing who secretly manipulated it, well, I don’t know the identity of the Dream Master, and it’s even more impossible for him to know that the enemy is Yuanshi Tianzun.”

"I only hope that the Dream Master is at the beginning of level 6, so I can still fight. If it is at the peak of level 6, it will be dangerous. This kind of character is the strongest group under the elders."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart. He took out the knife and took a look at his own face using the bright blade as a mirror.

This glance made him change his expression uncontrollably.

There was blood gushing between his brows and eyes!
In the prediction of astrology, the disaster of blood and light represents the crisis of life and death. If you can't overcome it, you will die.

Fuck, my vest was seen through?That dream master knows that I am a spiritual practitioner, and plans to attack me tonight?

Or am I unlucky to be chosen as a sacrifice?
Zhang Yuanqing's unavoidable heartbeat quickened and adrenaline soared, producing a physiological stress response.

Then he took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions with rich experience, silently opened the inventory and gang warehouse, stared at the props and materials inside, and paused for a few seconds on the ten gold bars.

Then, he closed the inventory and the gang warehouse, leaned over to Chen Xuedao, and lowered his voice:
"Father, I will have a bloody disaster tonight."

Chen Xuedao glanced at him and said slowly:
"It's easy to deal with the Dream Handler, just wake up."

Just wake up?How to wake up, the dream master also has a skill called Zhang Yuanqing, the master of dreams, to show his thoughts.

On the other side, Zhuo Peiran held a knife, pushed away a coffin, and cursed:

"The corpses are so rotten that they are full of insects, and no one came to collect them."

He opened the coffins one by one, finally found a thin coffin without a corpse, and said:

"Father, I split the coffin to make a fire?"

Chen Xuedao shook his head slightly, "The clothes of the living and the coffin of the dead are all decent."

He glanced at the sky outside and said:

"The rain won't fall for a while. If you have money, you can take people around to collect some firewood."

Zhang Yuanqing's heart moved, and he said:
"Fourth brother, I'll go with you."

Without any explanation, he quickly followed Zhao Youcai and ran out of Yizhuang.

The black clouds accumulated more and more, the sky completely darkened, the strong wind howled, and when it penetrated the doors and windows, it made a disturbing scream.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the firewood-collecting team had left, it began to rain heavily.

Bean-sized raindrops crackled on the tiles, and dripped down along the corners of the eaves, forming crystal clear bead curtains. When the strong wind came, they flew obliquely like flowers and broken jade.

Chen Xuedao stood under the eaves, watching the rainstorm silently, without saying a word.

"Father, what are you thinking?" Chen Wei walked over cheerfully, "Don't worry, we have a lot of escorts, whether it's the Excalibur Villa or the Sword God Villa, I'll take the brothers to level up as soon as you give the order." .”

Chen Xuedao looked back at his daughter, with a gentle expression on his serious expression, and said:

"Don't be reckless!"

At this time, a few figures were holding the firewood, lowered their heads, and rushed into Yizhuang in a hurry. It was Zhao Youcai and Lin Ci.

"Father, we're back. We'll come when we catch half of the rain. If we don't come back, all the firewood will be soaked." Zhao Youcai rushed into Yizhuang, throwing down the half-wet firewood, and yelled:

"Fortunately, we have a large number of people, so the firewood should be enough."

The bonfire was soon lit up, and the bodyguards used iron pots to catch the rainwater, put them on the bonfire, threw in dried meat and salt, cooked a pot of hot broth, and served it with steamed buns.

After filling their stomachs, the escorts sat silently around the campfire.

With the disappearance of the bodyguard two nights ago, no one dared to sleep, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.

There was heavy rain outside Yizhuang, and the wind became more and more violent. The doors and windows that had been in disrepair shook slightly in the wind.

Zhang Yuanqing sat cross-legged at the door, and the heartless third sister was half leaning on him, her eyes were sleepy, as if she would fall asleep at any moment.

Alas, I suddenly understood why Zhuo Peiran didn't like Lin Ci anymore. No matter how dull he was, he should be able to feel the close relationship between Chen Wei and Lin Ci. Zhang Yuanqing murmured to himself.

As for whether Zhuo Peiran noticed the green hair on his head, he didn't know.

After all, Zhuo Peiran is a bewitching demon with a bit of resourcefulness and city power, not a fire master.

Suddenly, a gust of wind hit, and the lattice door of Yizhuang blew "clang", rain foam and strong wind poured in, and the bonfire shook violently.

Zhang Yuanqing, who was already tense, turned his head suddenly, only to see the miserable wind and rain outside, and the darkness of the night. Other than that, there was no abnormality.

I was taken aback. Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself, got up and closed the lattice door.

Just as he closed the door and turned around, he suddenly froze.

The bonfire crackled, and the bodyguards sitting cross-legged around the flames all lowered their heads, closed their eyes, and fell into a deep sleep at some point, including the four saints Chen Xuedao and Zhuo Peiran.

Are they all being dragged into a dream?
Zhang Yuanqing's pupils contracted violently.

At the same time, in the dark corner of Yizhuang, the sound of fingernails scratching the coffin lid came from the black coffin.

"crunch, crunch"

Immediately afterwards, the lid of the coffin was slowly opened, and a green and black ghost hand covered with corpse spots protruded out, grabbing the edge of the coffin.

PS: The typo is corrected first and then corrected.The good news is that except for the burning knife in the throat, lack of energy, and easy fatigue, all other symptoms are gone.
