last night suddenly dreamed of mountains and rivers

Lan Jiansu originally wanted to say that he had a good rest tonight and recovered his energy, and that he would go to find the old site of the Ghost Saber Sect tomorrow.

But the reaction of combing the screen obviously didn't let him rest, and told him to go now.There is always nothing he can do with this hair comb screen.

He just removed the plug that closed the door, and the strong wind outside blew the inn door open violently.The two old and weak door panels squeaked back and forth, and the snow-rolling wind rushed in like a wild beast.

The wind and snow outside was extremely strong, the sky was a chaotic blue and purple, and the purple dark clouds were like entangled dragons.

With the wind and snow blowing on his face, Li Xingxi woke up startled, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Brother Lan, do you want to go out?"

"The pointer is responding, there may be a ghost. I have to go and see." Lan Jiansu said it easily, but his heart was not at all relaxed.He could feel that the resentment emanating from the combing screen this time was dozens of times stronger than that of Liuyin Pavilion in the palace.There are at least hundreds of resentful spirits and ghosts here.Whether he can handle it or not is secondary, mainly because he has trypophobia.

Li Xingxi immediately got up and followed behind, "I'll go with you."

The sky was full of snow, and the wind howled endlessly.They walked forward against the wind and snow, but the wind and snow pushed them back desperately, as if to stop them from moving forward.It took them an hour and a half to walk a section of the road that could have been covered in an hour.

The towering rocks of the Gobi are covered with white snow, and a huge pavilion stands on the steep broken rock. The snowflakes are spinning on the pavilion, and the wind, snow and sand are all around the pavilion.

"Is that Ghost Saber Sect?" Li Xingxi asked.

The pointer on the back of the hair combing screen turned out of direction, and the black resentment had completely swallowed the entire screen mirror, puffs of black smoke were steaming in Lan Jiansu's hands.

"It should be." Lan Jiansu said.

The two of them walked towards the rock along the rugged and slippery road.

The Ghost Saber Sect has been abandoned for many years, and the pavilions are dilapidated, but the structure of the building is solid, and it seems that there is no risk of collapse.The fact that the timber and quality of the buildings are so good is proof that there were no corrupt officials in the Northwest Pass and there were many talented people.However, the pavilion was scorched black, as if it had been scorched by a fire, and the plaque that said "Ghost Saber Sect" fell to the ground and turned into a piece of coke, leaving only shallow traces of bronzing.

Lan Jiansu gave Li Xingxi the combing screen.He knew that he might see something incredible later.Li Xingxi can only see them with the combing screen, and only when he can see them can he know how to run.

There was nothing in the pavilion, not even a mouse.That's right, in such a heavy snowstorm, mice know how to hide in their nests and sleep.

Lan Jiansu and Li Xingxi walked around the pavilion before turning to a sacrificial table.

This sacrificial table looks brand new, apparently someone placed it here later.On the sacrificial table, there is a disrupted gossip array.

Lan Jiansu reassembled the gossip array, and suddenly, the yin and yang poles in the middle separated, and a golden lotus seat emerged.

Lan Jiansu thought of something.Fortunately, the two-fingered Buddha that Jing Xianxue gave him was on his body.He took out the two-fingered Buddha and put it on the lotus seat.The Buddha base coincides with the flower seat.Sure enough, as he thought, Jing Xianxue's adoptive father had a deep connection with Ghost Sword Sect.

The eyes of the Buddha statue suddenly glowed red, and the two fingers on the hand turned to point forward.Suddenly, there was a strange noise.Both Lan Jiansu and Li Xingxi heard a thorny cry, and Li Xingxi immediately covered his ears, wrinkling his expression in pain.

There was a black and red bloody light in front of them, they turned their heads, and saw shadowy figures standing in the lobby, standing upright one by one.

Li Xingxi let out a cry.It was the first time he had seen so many ghosts come out in groups.

There are about 100... more than 200 ghosts gathered in the lobby.But only a distorted shadow appeared, refusing to reveal the whole picture.

"They don't want to show themselves," Lan Jiansu said.

"Then...then what do they want to do now? Are they facing away from us, or are they facing us?" Li Xingxi asked.

This question really stumped Lan Jiansu.He couldn't figure out whether they were being watched by a group of big shots or whether they were watching a group of big shots.

Lan Jiansu still greeted her.Regardless of whether the other party is a human or a ghost, saying hello can better highlight one's self-cultivation.

He arched his hands and said, "I don't intend to offend seniors in Xialan Jiansu. I just entrusted this Buddha statue to me before my dumb father died of illness. I want to find the former residence of Buddha, so I came to bother you." I finished this greeting with one point of truth and nine points of lie.Although Li Xingxi didn't know what he was telling the truth, he obediently kept his mouth shut and cooperated with him.

More than 200 ghosts did not move, and suddenly disappeared.Then, a burst of red sand rose from the lobby, like a spring surging, gradually rolling out several human figures.

Three men in martial arts costumes stood on the left, and a man dressed in Feng Dynasty official residence knelt on the right.Lan Jiansu looked at the official's face, but felt that there was a bit of Shen Pinglu in his eyebrows.No, maybe it should be said that Shen Pinglv looks like him.

Lan Jiansu thought of Shen Pinglu's father who was killed by the Ghost Saber Sect, and Shen Yi who came to the Northwest to treat the rat plague but died tragically at the hands of the Ghost Saber Sect.

"Shen Yi" knelt on the ground, as if begging for mercy from the three men.Yi Lan Jiansu had heard sporadically about Shen's father's arrogance in the past, and he didn't seem to be such a soft man who was greedy for life and afraid of death.If he was really a soft guy, he wouldn't have come to Xibeiguan.

Thinking about it this way, Lan Jiansu realized that rather than begging for mercy, "Shen Yi" looked more like apologizing.After he apologized, he lowered his head tightly, as if waiting to die.

Lan Jiansu became more and more puzzled.Shen Pinglu said that the reason why Shen Yi was killed by the ghost knife sect was because the ghost knife sect said he was a corrupt official.But Shen Yi wasn't, since he wasn't, why would he apologize and wait to die in front of them?

Among the three martial artists, the young man in fox fur raised his knife and slashed at "Shen Yi".Immediately, the red sand scattered and fell to the ground.

The lobby is empty and everything is gone.

At this time they heard the strange clicking sound again. It turned out that the Buddha turned his finger again, this time pointing to the second floor.

Lan Jiansu and Li Xingxi came to the second floor.

The stone walls on all sides of the second floor are the famous Tangbaigang in the northwest. Although most of them were burned black by the fire, some paintings carved on them are still clear.

There is a secret door hidden in the stone wall on the left. The secret door is open, and a skeleton is half outside and half inside the secret compartment.

In the second year after Shen Yi's death, the Ghost Sword Sect was wiped out by the troops sent by the imperial court.At that time, the imperial court should have stayed to deal with the aftermath and disposed of all the bones.This missing skeleton must have been the person who had escaped by hiding in the secret door, but for some reason... he hadn't eaten or taken water for a long time, and died of exhaustion when he left the secret compartment.

Lan Jiansu placed the combing screen on the skeleton's hand bones.I have only come into contact with a dead person this time, so the combing screen will not show any pictures at all.But the resentment of the ghosts here is too heavy, and the black thick resentment is almost drowning out the combing screen.Maybe he cares about his appearance and is eager to know the truth, so he put down his principles and made an example for this unjust dead ghost.

After a while, a skyrocketing flame appeared on the mirror, and a big fire engulfed the entire Ghost Sword Sect.A huge fine iron cage was built outside the Ghost Saber Sect, trapping everyone in the Zonglou.It's snowing outside, but the Ghost Sword Sect is a big furnace.The people in the Zonglou grabbed and slammed into the cage net, their bodies were covered in flames, they looked painful and hideous, howled and died tragically one by one in the sea of ​​flames.

In this massacre, one person escaped.

Before the fine iron cage specially made by the imperial court was covered, this person was thrown out from the second floor and fell into the slush, covered by the thick snow, and escaped unharmed.

The painting image disappeared, and the screen for combing hair still seemed to be lit by fire. Lan Jiansu felt his palms burn very hot when he picked it up.That fire seemed to burn even him.

Lan Jiansu took off his robe, wrapped the nameless skeleton, said a few words of regret and pain, and let him lie on the stone wall first.

Then they came to the stone wall where the words could still be read clearly. The three walls were almost all engraved with pictures of small people practicing boxing, only the stone wall on the right was extremely weird.Inscribed on it are words and several small comic strips.Most of the text was destroyed, leaving only a few clear words, "The prince is here".

Seeing this line of words, Lan Jiansu's eyelids trembled. "The prince is here", this prince, is it possible that he is referring to him?He came to the Ghost Saber Sect at an early age, and became the descendant of the Ghost Saber Sect by accident?

Her head hurt, fragmented and fuzzy memories, complex and tangled relationships, and doubts were jumbled together in Lan Jiansu's head.

Li Xingxi asked, "Brother Lan, what's wrong with you? Do you have a headache?"

Lan Jiansu took a breath and said, "It's okay."

He no longer looked at the words that gave him a headache, but instead looked at the comic strips below the words.The scratches on the comic strips are relatively new, and the dents are clean. It seems that someone came here to carve it after the fire.

Lan Jiansu couldn't quite understand some of the weird paintings in front of him.Although this person is a good painter, what he wants to express is too abstract.A group of people are dancing in the first picture, and crying in the second picture.In the third picture, a baby is arched together, and in the fourth picture, the baby is pricked with a needle.Each painting seems to be connected back and forth, and the story in the middle is suddenly disconnected.For example, why the baby disappeared, and why there was a strange boy suddenly.

In this way, I drew about a hundred strange pictures. The last picture is an old man changing the faces of two men.

Lan Jiansu supported her forehead and let out a painful breath.

Li Xingxi asked concerned: "What's wrong? Is your head hurting again?"

Lan Jiansu said no, and said angrily, "Why am I a science and engineering student!"

He can't understand, he really can't understand, this art problem is too difficult.There is no logic at all, no formula at all.He is not a Chinese teacher, how to interpret the meaning of the painter?

He tried his best to memorize these paintings silently, and now he can only study these paintings with hidden mysteries after returning home.

The two walked around the Zonglou a few more times, but found nothing else in the end.The ghost image was gone, and the thick black resentment on the combing screen also dissipated.It was as if these ghosts were content to let him take a look at these things, things that he couldn't understand at all.

While Lan Jiansu was hesitating in the Zonglou, the pointer behind the hair combing screen responded again.This time, point directly to the direction of the inn.

Lan Jiansu and Li Xingxi rushed back to the inn. The wind and snow gradually stopped, and the sky gradually brightened. The snow on the desert melted at a uniform speed after the sun rose.

At the door of the inn, there was a man in sable fur lying on his stomach.The man stretched his hand forward and wrote the word "miserable" on the ground with his index finger.

"Why is there someone here!" Li Xingxi ran up curiously, looking left and right, "Is he dead?"

Lan Jiansu was speechless, raised her foot and kicked the man twice.The man's hot body moved, but there was no response.Lan Jiansu kicked hard at the end, and the man turned over to face them.

A man in his thirties seems to be about his age, but he looks handsome and beautiful.It can be seen that he looks good with such a dirty face, so it seems that he is really good looking.

The man coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes.

He stretched out his hand towards Lan Jiansu, opened his lips, and said weakly: "I am Dafeng's wandering prince. I was trapped by the wind and sand in the northwest, and now I urgently need 500 taels of silver for money. You can lend it to me. When I return to the palace, I will give you 5000 taels."

"This trick has been used to death in my hometown." Lan Jiansu looked down at him, "Aren't you going to get up? If you don't get up, just lie here."

"Hey, don't." The man lying on the ground hugged Lan Jiansu's leg, "I'm really a prince, really, don't believe me. If you don't believe me today, you will miss the chance to become famous tomorrow. Now you are lucky, the prince in trouble is here Your feet are waiting for your rescue, after passing this village, there will be no such shop, so seize the opportunity, son!"

Lan Jiansu kicked him away: "I am the second son of Emperor Dafeng!"

The man's eyes lit up, he jumped up and stood up, and said excitedly, "You are also the prince? Are you the second prince?" He said "ah" full of joy, and hugged Lan Jiansu violently with his dirty body Stop, "Brother! Brother finally found you! Brother, I am brother! Let's go back to the capital immediately, and you immediately take me to recognize my father. From now on, I will be the emperor's brother, you will be the emperor's brother, and our brother Friends and brothers, live in harmony and share family happiness!"

Lan Jiansu was strangled almost to death by him, and said to himself: God sees that I've been living a serious life recently, and gave me another kind of idiot criticism, right?
