My husband is the protector of the country

Under the glimmer of light, the characters on the piano behind the plaque seemed to have magical powers, and it caught Qu Jianing's sight tightly, making him unable to move his eyes away.

Qin body...Qin body is a font that was once popular in Wen country, and it is also the only Yang country general-purpose character font that appeared in Minshan spells.Its appearance means that the Vermilion Feather Ship in the land of Yuzhou is not a simple red phoenix feather, but inherited the name of Zhu Yu, the ancient god of Minshan Mountain.

That is to say-

"That bastard twin brother who killed a thousand knives must have been here before!"

The boy remembered what the man in red had done to "himself" and was furious, so he slapped the plaque with his palm.

"Ouch……!"

Mo Cheng put his sore hand in his palm, and gently kneaded it: "But this font is not the handwriting of the bastard."

Hearing that Mo Cheng followed his address, Qu Jianing inexplicably felt relieved.He leaned down and carefully checked the handwriting of that sentence, and it was indeed as student Shenzun said, and it was different from the handwriting of the man in red in his memory.

"But Mo Cheng, look here, even if they are different...they still have subtle similarities, such as this one, that bastard brother also likes to write like this."

"Indeed... Maybe this engraving is left by the real 'Qian Lin'? According to Gan Rulin, the Qianqiu Court once imprisoned a beautiful woman, and the lock Qianqiu in this sentence may correspond to this meaning."

The small motor in Qu Jianing's brain immediately started to spin: "According to your direction, when Qian Lin was replaced, she was probably imprisoned in Yuzhou's Qianqiu Courtyard by the bastard, so she was unable to return to the capital of Wenguo. ?”

Mo Cheng checked the plaque again carefully, and after confirming that there were no new clues, he replied: "After all, it happened more than 2000 years ago. When Gan Rulin mentioned this old news, he only said that it was nearly a thousand years old, so the time may not be right. How about we return the plaque and go to Qianqiuyuan to check it out?"

Hearing that he was going to a haunted house, Qu Jianing got goosebumps all over again...

With his mind in a mess, the young man quickly thought of a way to strengthen his courage——

"Mo Cheng... When I enter the haunted house later, can you hug me all the way... the kind that a princess hugs..."

After saying this, Qu Jianing also felt panicked with embarrassment, and immediately covered his face with his hands, not daring to look at the other party's reaction.

In the end, the man answered him directly with actions - Mo Cheng picked up Qu Jianing who was squatting on the ground, hugged him horizontally in his arms, and tightened his chest again: "Do you feel better now?"

The young man thought that he had already lost his face anyway, so he hugged Mo Cheng's neck with both hands, and generously admitted: "Great!"

Putting the plaque back on the archway, the couple continued to use illusion as a cover to come to the northernmost part of Beiyumen, looking for the house that had been abandoned for thousands of years.

When they passed Gan Rulin's studio, they didn't feel anything wrong, but after walking a few tens of meters, they suddenly encountered a "cloudy wind".

Qu Jianing immediately shrank into Mo Cheng's arms: "There is no wind in the whole Yumen tonight, but this area is very windy..."

Mo Cheng released part of his spiritual power to detect, but did not receive any feedback.

"There is no abnormality within [-] meters, let's continue walking in."

Student Shenzun summoned two small balls of light, floating by his side.

The streets here have no street lights, and are all illuminated by these two light spheres.Different from the clean stone road in Yuzhou, the ground here is scattered with withered and yellow leaves, and the floor also has many cracked old marks.

Qu Jianing observed the surrounding buildings and found that they did not seem to have any traces of inhabitation.But judging from the old and new, these small buildings should not have been abandoned for too long.

"The houses here are all empty. Did they move to another place because of the heavy yin here? It must be very yin, otherwise the houses here in Yuzhou are very expensive, how could they be willing to move away?" ?”

The more the boy thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he almost made up several sets of ghost stories.Just when he was about to shrink into a ball in Mo Cheng's arms, the two finally came to an ancient house that was obviously incompatible with Yuzhou's environment.

Although the material of this house is roughly the same as that of the Yuzhou house, the design style is quite different.

Mo Cheng hugged Qu Jianing and approached the main entrance of the mansion, and then walked several tens of meters along the courtyard wall.

"Jianning, are you familiar with it?"

"Um……"

Qu Jianing recognized where the shape of the building in front of him belonged, it was just like the tall building he would go to every day in that old dream.

"Although it's not the same kind of building, the courtyard walls, wooden doors and eaves here are all very similar to the design of the tall buildings in the maple forest. This house has been abandoned for so long, yet it's still so well preserved...the inside..."

The boy timidly patted Mo Cheng's chest: "Are we really going to go in at night?"

Student Shenzun originally wanted to explain the reason in detail - Gan Rulin's assistants and other craftsmen will be active in the north during the day, if they make any noise, it may cause unnecessary trouble - but looking at Qu Jianing's poor frightened rabbit tonight , he suddenly wanted to scare the other party again, so he only answered "Yes", then jumped high and landed in the courtyard.

The young man entered the haunted house unexpectedly, couldn't hold back a weak scream, and quickly buried his face in Mo Cheng's neck.

The temperature inside Qianqiu Courtyard was significantly lower than outside, and Qu Jianing shivered from the cold: "Mo Cheng, Mo Cheng... there is nothing strange around us, right?"

Student Shenzun looked around, except for the blackness like splashed ink, there seemed to be nothing special, so he said, "Nothing."

Qu Jianing raised his head, looked over Mo Cheng's shoulder, saw the corner of the courtyard looming under the dim moonlight and the seemingly impenetrable black mist, and immediately slapped the man on the back repeatedly, telling him to throw out all the light balls he could throw.

This time Mo Cheng didn't follow the young man, he explained: "I'm trying my best to hide our aura, the light ball is the source of separation, we can't hide it, if there are enemies here, it will make us look very passive. Jianing, be good, to beat."

……

I have used all the words to coax children, so I can only be obedient...

"That's okay... let's..."

Qu Jianing hugged Mo Cheng's neck tightly, put his head on the other's shoulder all the time, and divided the work with the man to observe the surrounding environment.There is only a crescent moon in the sky tonight, the sky is weak, the god can still see the objects clearly, but the young man can only see the outline.

The two took advantage of the faint skylight to walk around the courtyard and corridors of Qianqiuyuan, and found nothing except the familiar design style.And then, they had to enter the dark room to find out.

Qu Jianing gritted his teeth and vigilantly "watched out" for Mo Cheng, so that he could open the main building gate of Qianqiu Courtyard with peace of mind.But the moment the man opened the door, the boy saw a black figure flashing past the corridor not far away.

He immediately shouted in the special channel: There is a black shadow!There is a shadow!Flashed down the hallway we were facing at seven o'clock!Really use flash!

Mo Cheng immediately led Qu Jianing into the house, and quickly closed the wooden door.The deity threw down a special barrier, and threw four balls of light at the four corners of the room. The balls of light were connected to each other to form a square light array.

"I created a temporary closed barrier with a limited range, but it can temporarily isolate us from the outside world. Can you see the specific shape of that shadow?"

Just as Qu Jianing was about to answer, he was frightened by the scenery illuminated by the light ball—all the furniture and furnishings in the hall on the first floor of the main building were intact, but there were a lot of dark brown marks on their surfaces. Judging from the splash pattern of the traces, where they came from... It's not hard to guess.
