It is strictly forbidden to pay for the ticket after getting on the bus

"Then we won't bother you." Bai Jue imitated Steward Liang and bowed slightly to him, and the four of them followed him into the General's Mansion.

As soon as I entered the mansion, I felt something was wrong. The whole interior of the General's Mansion, including wall bricks, stone pillars, tables, chairs and benches... every surface was stained with a layer of scorched black, as if this General's Mansion——had once happened Live a violent fire.

By the light of the lantern, Bai Jue caught a glimpse of some smoky black ash on the hem of Butler Liang's clothes, and he couldn't find it unless he looked closely.

No wonder this person always smelled of burning, maybe he was burned to death?Bai Jue thought.

Except for those scorched marks, the General's Mansion is still very imposing. The mansion, pavilions, towers and pavilions, which are famous for their force and military exploits, give people a chilling and fierce feeling.

"The West Chamber Pavilion is prepared for you. It's getting late, everyone, please rest."

Steward Liang took them to a side courtyard. The burnt smell here was much lighter than the entrance of the main hall and the courtyard that they passed by just now. The bed was also made.

There were not only the four of them living in the west wing pavilion, but also other passengers. They all showed joy when they saw that it was Bai Jue who came. There is always a chance for one more strong person.

"Two rooms, do you still live in the same way as last time?" Si Qi yawned.

"Of course." Bai Luochuan took a step towards Bai Jue, put his hands on Bai Jue's right arm, leaned half on Bai Jue's body, his eyelids drooped slightly, making a pitiful and scared look, "Brother Bai Jue said To protect me, I must sleep with him."

The onlookers gritted their teeth: This fellow is shameless!Also delusional to eat alone!

What broke their hearts was that Bai Jue didn't seem to have any repulsive reaction, after glancing at the people around him, he took the initiative to hold his finger with his backhand and rubbed it lightly.

Before everyone could react, Bai Jue pulled people into the house and closed the door, leaving only one sentence: "Go to bed then, see you tomorrow morning."

When Lin Jiu followed Si Qi and was about to find a room to enter, he suddenly heard a thin boy among the dispersed passengers muttering to himself: "Dual knives are so strong, it's okay to step on a few boats... ..”

Lin Jiu shivered in fright, someone wanted to rob Bai Luochuan?

When he thought of Bai Jue's cold and ruthless character and Bai Luochuan's captivating smile, he felt chills in his heart, and silently prayed for that boy - he had never seen such a ignorant boy before.

I can only wish him well.

A quiet night.

Bai Jue passed by the last platform, thinking that something would happen here at night, besides, the change of moonlight outside the mansion was very strange last night before entering the mansion, which seemed to be the precursor of something to happen, but after sleeping all night, nothing happened.

In the morning, Butler Liang knocked on the door and invited them one by one to have breakfast in the main hall.

"It's still good to come to this ghostly place, and you can eat the food of the general's mansion," Si Qi whispered, "I wonder if I can see the general himself."

"Tch, maybe it's an uncle over fifty years old." Lin Jiu said.

"Fart," Si Qi said disdainfully, "I took a look at the layout of this mansion last night, it is full of vigor and blood, he must be a young general, maybe he can have a romantic relationship with me What a poignant love story."

"Hmph," Lin Jiu rolled his eyes in displeasure, and whispered, "You are so shameless that the general can't see you."

Si Qi: "..."

She thinks that this person is probably tired of work, so she should pretend to be a ghost at night to scare him.

Si Qi's wish came to nothing, they were the only outsiders for breakfast, and the general did not show up.

In order for Si Qi to study the breakfast recipe of the General's Mansion well, the four of them were the last to leave the table, and the others had already dispersed to look for clues.

"Are you going out today?" Lin Jiu asked.

"Let's take a stroll around the General's Mansion first, to see if there are any useful clues," Bai Luochuan said, "This time the stay is also five days, this city is so big, there is simply not enough time to look around."

"Right."

After making up their minds, the four of them divided into two groups to hang out.

With the previous experience, Bai Jue is most interested in the study this time, so he dragged Bai Luochuan to look for it.

What surprised him was that during the daytime, some girls and handymen could still be seen in the mansion from time to time. Without exception, they were the dead, but they all performed their duties as if they were still alive, and managed the general's mansion in an orderly manner.

"It's really weird," Bai Luochuan complained in a low voice, "Do they know that they are dead?"

"...I know." Bai Jue said, he thought for a while, stopped a girl who was walking by with her head down, and asked, "Can you tell us how to get to the study?"

The girl raised her head, showing a stiff smile, but seemed unable to speak, pointed him in a direction, then bent over and retreated.

"Oh, the flesh on that face hasn't been moved for a long time, it's as hard as a rock, it's better not to smile, it's so ugly." Bai Luochuan sighed.

"Well, compared to you, anyone's smile looks ugly." Bai Jue said casually, pulling him towards the direction pointed by the girl.

Bai Luochuan: "...Invisible seduction is the deadliest."

Through the corridor, there is another small courtyard. Many orchids are planted in the southwest corner of the courtyard, showing a different kind of vitality in this lifeless General's Mansion.

This courtyard is exclusive to the study.

The study room had obviously been burned, and all the wooden tables, wooden chairs, pens, inks, papers and inkstones were stained with black ash, just like the servants who died and came back to life, they were also burnt and returned to life.

"It seems that the general is also a man capable of writing and martial arts. These don't look like decorations." Bai Luochuan said.

The books, pens and papers on the table were placed randomly, and many of the books were turned up at the corners, as if they were frequently read.

"Well, I'm also a tea drinker." Bai Jue caressed the teacup on the table, the cup was still warm.

There are many small objects placed in the small grid on the wall, including strange stone carvings, painted clay figurines, and yellowed picture scrolls... It looks quite interesting.

"He's pretty good at living." Bai Luochuan asserted, "He's a person with sentimentality."

"Luo Chuan, come and read these letters." Bai Jue called to him.

In one of the small compartments was a delicate iron box. After Bai Jue opened it, he found stacks of letters inside.

"Can I watch this?" Bai Luochuan shrank his neck, "I always feel that this general hasn't gone far, maybe he's watching us rummage through his things from somewhere."

"These letters seem to be things that he cherishes very much. There may be clues." Bai Jue picked up the top letter, and the seal must have been opened. He took out the letter paper from it, and the two of them put their heads together. read up.

Ten seconds later——

Bai Jue: "..."

Bai Luochuan: "..."

"So it's a medium for people to talk about love..." Bai Luochuan smiled helplessly, "Well, the words are pretty pretty."

Bai Jue cleared his throat a little uncomfortably. Judging from the content of this letter, it is probably a correspondence and emotional exchange between the general and the woman he loves deeply. In fact, it is not embarrassing to read this thing, the key is that he read it with Bai Luochuan , Those words of love are like fire at the moment, making his mouth a little dry.

"Let's put it away and not read it." Bai Jue pursed his lips, put the letter in an envelope and put it back into the iron box, and then put it back into the small compartment.

After carefully rummaging in the study for an hour but found nothing else, Bai Jue and Bai Luochuan decided to go to the yard to have a look.

Before taking a few steps in the corridor, he was startled by Si Qi and Lin Jiu who suddenly popped out.

"Damn! Why do you appear and disappear like a ghost! People are scary, friends." Bai Luochuan clutched his chest.

"Ah, I'm sorry..." Lin Jiu mumbled, he was still a little afraid of Bai Luochuan.

"We found you two," Si Qi hurriedly pushed them forward, "Go and see the gadgets over there, walk around..."

"what?"

After following Si Qi to the place she mentioned, several other passengers were also there, squatting down, not knowing what they were looking at.

"There seems to be a formation on the ground." Lin Jiu said in a low voice.

"Array?" Bai Jue frowned, "Is it an array?"

"Well," Lin Jiu nodded hesitantly, "it should be, but I'm not sure either."

After getting closer, you can see the symbol on the ground clearly through the backs of those passengers, which really looks like a formation.

Unlike everything in the General's Mansion with black burnt marks, the symbol is red, and it looks particularly bright and conspicuous in broad daylight. There is no trick.

What confuses Bai Jue is that there is still a circle of black powder around the outer ring of the circular formation, which is not close to the outer circle of the formation, but after all, the formation is bounded without any gaps. surrounded.

But this black powder doesn't look like a part of the formation, what is it?

Bai Jue tilted his head and thought about it, then slowly squatted down, his nose moved, a faint special smell penetrated into his nose, Bai Jue's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's really unlucky, we don't have anyone who understands formations here." A man with a gloomy face stood up, Bai Jue remembered that his name seemed to be Yang Tongzhou.

"Some people have powerful weapons, what's the use of them, they are useless if they are not useful." Yang Tongzhou glanced at Bai Jue, and his words seemed to imply something.

Bai Jue gave him a cold look, he didn't even think about talking to this kind of rubbish.

"There are too many people here, come and have a look later." Bai Jue held Bai Luochuan's wrist, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hey Bai Jue! Wait for me!" A crisp male voice sounded behind Bai Jue at this time, it was the thin boy that Lin Jiu noticed last night.

But when he ran over here, he seemed to accidentally hit a girl next to him.

The girl staggered a few steps from being hit, and accidentally stepped on the circle of black powder outside the formation.
