The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

At this time, it was dark outside.

The fog was thick.

Xiaoyu had already met the young man. They each carried a cloth bag and a short shovel and groped their way out of the alley in the dark.

Lu Zhaoling and Qing Xiao followed not far away.

"The fog tonight is thicker than last night. Damn it. What the hell is going on here? Although there was fog at night in autumn and winter before, it was always light fog and didn't look this weird."

The young man complained in a low voice.

The little fish followed him, and because they had to walk faster, the difference in the length of their legs became more obvious.

It seems that he is walking with some difficulty.

"Let's go." He said in a muffled voice.

The young man reached out and patted him on the shoulder and made a joke.

"What's wrong? Are you still worried that someone will arrest you? Don't worry, even if they want to arrest you, they will probably arrest me. You can't even walk properly, why would they arrest you?"

Maybe his original intention was to comfort Xiaoyu, but these words made Xiaoyu stop talking.

"Okay, okay, let's go faster."

They crossed the small stone bridge and walked for a long way.

Lu Zhaoling and Qing Xiao followed them, and seeing that they did not walk into the main street, but quickly entered another alley, they quickly followed.

This alley twists and turns and ends at a dead end at the back.

A wall separates the alley.

And there was no way out no matter which way I looked.

The young man said to Xiaoyu, "As usual, I'll watch you and you open the mechanism quickly."

"Okay." Xiaoyu responded in a low voice.

The young man turned around, walked back a short distance, and stared at the alley.

Qing Xiao looked up and asked Lu Zhaoling in a low voice, "Miss, shall I take you up the wall?"

Lu Zhaoling looked at the high walls on both sides and nodded.

Qing Xiao grabbed her arm and flew her up the wall.

He quickly passed by the young man and reached the end of the alley.

Looking behind the wall at the end, there are a lot of things piled up, and there doesn’t seem to be anything strange, but looking further ahead, there is a forest.

It looked pitch black.

Because it is night time now, I can only vaguely see a corner of the eaves if I look further away. There should be a house in the distance.

Since they said they were going to some abandoned house, could it be in that area?

But if that's the case, can't we just go straight over there?

Xiaoyu squatted down, fiddling with something in the corner, and then they heard a very slight "click" sound.

There is an entrance in the wall ahead.

Lu Zhaoling and Qing Xiao looked at each other.

"Brother Hai." Xiaoyu called out.

The young man walked over quickly.

"It has to be you, Xiaoyu. This mechanism cannot be seen during the day, but you can open it just by touching it at night."

This is also the reason why he had to let Xiaoyu open the mechanism.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu knew that he had been there during the day but failed to find the mechanism.

He didn't say much, just whispered, "Go in."

The two of them quickly got in.

The little door closed again immediately.

"Miss, can you please let me see where to open the mechanism?" Qing Xiao asked.

Lu Zhaoling shook his head and said, "I'll go."

As she said this, she jumped down.

Qing Xiao was startled and quickly jumped down.

Lu Zhaoling stood firm and quickly walked to the wall. Qing Xiao took out the flint and lit it. Lu Zhaoling pressed and tapped the wall a few times, and the door in the stone wall opened.

The speed is even faster than the little fish just now.

Qing Xiao: “…”

How did you do this, miss?

Perhaps Lu Zhaoling knew that he would be curious, so he explained, "I just saw it."

He didn't see it. But even if he saw it clearly, the lady's technique was too fast. It wasn't Xiaoyu's first time to open it, and his speed was not as fast as the lady's.

How could he know that Lu Zhaoling could be so fast in this kind of hand skills because he had practiced it from drawing talismans.

They immediately followed him through the door.

This is a long secret passage with many twists and turns.

You can't see your fingers when you stretch your hand inside, but since there is only room for one person to walk in and the ground seems to be flat, it doesn't matter if you can't see. They can hear the movement in front of them and just follow slowly.

Lu Zhaoling felt that this was more likely a secret escape passage from the abandoned house.

It just so happened that Xiaoyu and the others found it as a road leading to the abandoned house. Maybe if they searched directly on it, they would not be able to determine which abandoned house it was.

That being said, there might not just be one abandoned house there.

This secret passage is really long. If you have claustrophobia, you will probably go crazy in there.

In front, Xiaoyu was obviously a little tired, but the young man called Brother Xiaohai kept urging him on.

"Xiao Yu, hold on a little longer. There's no room to rest here. I'll give you a push."

"I can hold on." said the little fish.

They didn't light any candles, perhaps because they had been there before and were familiar with it.

By the time Lu Zhaoling was getting a little impatient, it finally arrived.

They climbed up and pushed open the exit mechanism.

Lu Zhaoling waited until their footsteps were a little further away before pushing the door open and following them out.

As soon as I went out, I saw a small ball of light.

It was Xiaoyu and the others who lit the candles after they came out.

This is actually a small Buddhist temple.

The door of the mechanism was on the wall of the inner room of the Buddhist hall, separated by a small door. There was an altar outside, and they lit the half-burnt candle on the altar.

There was some dust around, and cobwebs in the corners. It really looked like an abandoned house.

"Let's split up and look for it now. We'll wait here in half an hour." Brother Xiaohai said to Xiaoyu.

They each took a small candle in their hands and lit it.

"it is good."

After they finished talking, they both left the small Buddhist temple.

Lu Zhaoling and Qing Xiao came out.

Although Qing Xiao wanted to go out and take a look, he gave up the idea when he saw Lu Zhaoling didn't move. He had to stay with the young lady, and her safety was the most important thing.

Lu Zhaoling looked at the altar, which was dedicated to Guanyin.

There was also dust on the altar.

Such a small Buddhist temple should only be owned by people with good financial conditions. The Lu family also had one in the past, but the house Cui Liyue bought was also very valuable.

"Go follow Xiao Hai." Lu Zhaoling said to Qing Xiao, "We will be here in about half an hour."

"Miss, let's go together."

"Don't worry about me." After saying this, Lu Zhaoling looked at Qing Xiao's face. She felt relieved when she didn't see any fierce look on his face.

Qing Xiao still has the talisman she gave him, so he’s fine.

Qing Xiao had no choice but to go out and stick to Brother Xiao Hai.

Lu Zhaoling also followed Xiaoyu quietly.

As soon as she went out, she discovered something strange. The night fog was already thick outside, but the fog in the house was much lighter.

In fact, the moonlight is a little brighter than outside.

It was indeed a house that had been abandoned for who knows how many years. Xiaoyu held the candle carefully and walked towards a small attic.

There is a tree in front, and it seems like something is hanging on it, with dark shadows floating around.
