Chapter 955: The Trick of Money

In the middle of the night, next to the South Lake in Yingtian South City, the two riders came quietly in the dark woods.

The mansion that originally belonged to the place where the main altar of the Qingjiao was located was seized by officers and soldiers after the destruction of Yingtian City. Guo Xu, the king of Huai, personally came here with his personal guards, and there were still hundreds of servants and saints serving inside. Hai Dongqing couldn't take them with him when he fled from Yingtian, and they didn't know it after the city was broken, until Guo Xu led the cavalry to surround the main altar, and they suddenly understood that their holy prince had been defeated and had abandoned the main altar and ran.

Guo Xu was not soft at all, hundreds of servants and saints were slaughtered by his order, the saints were outstanding, and the generals under him proposed to reward the generals and brothers who were besieging the city as trophies, and the person who made this suggestion was thrown by Guo Xu on the spot. In Guo Xu's opinion, these women are all dirty and weird people in the cult, and letting them come into contact with their generals doesn't give them a chance to demagogue. These women who willingly serve the leaders and leaders of the cult are the ones who deserve to die. Guo Xu didn't leave any of them, and ordered them to be slaughtered in the compound of the back house of the main altar.

In addition, he ordered people to search everywhere, and all the portraits, slogans, tables, chairs, thrones, incense cases, and other things in the main altar were taken out and piled up at the door and burned. The entire altar was swept away, and the anger that could not be captured for a long time was eliminated.

After that, there were no less than ten soldiers who came to patronize the main altar of the Youth Sect. During the period when the army was stationed in Yingtian, one or two waves of people came to the Qingjiao General Altar almost every day to rummage around. They thought that there would always be something valuable in the Qingjiao General Altar, and they wanted to try their luck. After coming and going, the walls of the main altar of the Qingjiao were collapsed, and the ruins were broken. The original grand mansion has become dilapidated.

Not long ago, a man who had been trying his luck at night heard strange noises, and saw many ghostly figures in the back house, and he was frightened. After running out, the news spread. Everyone said that the main altar was haunted, and it was the ghost of the saint and the servant who was slaughtered in the back garden by King Huai that day, and there were hundreds of ghosts looking for someone to ask for their lives, and then the people who came disappeared, and no one dared to come again. And the whole mansion was dark at night, and the ruins and dead wood and low walls did look ghostly. A Qingjiao base camp that was once extremely lively and magnificent, has actually become a ghost house.

At this moment, in the middle of the night, at the third watch, the two fast horses passed through the dark woods beside the South Lake and arrived outside the dark gate of the Qingjiao General Altar. The two turned over and dismounted, tied the horses to the stone beasts in front of the door, and looked side by side into the tall and open courtyard gate.

"Husband, I'm afraid Hai Dongqing's words are not very reliable. If there were gold and silver treasures here, wouldn't it have been turned upside down a long time ago? Do you really believe that there is treasure here? ”

"Bing'er, at that time, it is impossible for Hai Dongqing to lie to me, he wants to save his life, does he dare to tease me? If it is true, as he said, that there are hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver, then it must be hidden in a secret and strong secret room. How can it be easily found? In short, let's just take a look and find it, and it doesn't hurt if we can't find it. Our family's expenses are also quite large, and I can't ignore this news. We don't think we have a lot of money, but we have a lot of places to spend money. ”

The people who came were Lin Jue and Bai Bing. Since he got the news of the wealth here from the dead ghost Haidong Qingkou, Lin Jue was unwilling to let it go. The more money the better, although there is no shortage of silver at home, but there is a shortage of some places. For example, life in the valley of Funiu Mountain is still hard. If there is a large amount of silver, it will improve the living conditions there. Lin Jue is not a person who regards money as dung, so he will not let go of this kind of opportunity.

"Well, whatever you say, this place is eerie, isn't it really haunted?" Bai Bing looked at the door of the black hole, and his heart was a little hairy.

Lin Jue chuckled and said, "You still believe this?" If there are really ghosts in this world, why don't those ghosts who were killed take revenge? If you're afraid, wait for me here, and I'll go in and see. ”

Bai Bing snorted, straightened his chest and walked up the steps. Lin Jue smiled and followed closely. It's easy to deal with Bai Bing, just provoke her. No way, people are too simple, not so thoughtful.

After entering the gate, you enter the large front yard, and the leaves are piled up under your feet, and you can step on them and brush them. In the faint light of the sky, you can see the tall trees in the courtyard. The leaves were about to fall, and the bare branches reached into the dark sky, like giants with their hair standing on end looking down on the two. Several rockeries are also black and squatting like a beast in the dim light, which arouses suspicion. The cold air in the courtyard was indeed chilling.

Bai Bing didn't dare to be reckless, although he had killed countless people, but after all, he was a woman, and he was still furious when he came to such an occasion. So he grabbed Lin Jue's hand and followed Lin Jue's side step by step, looking around at the darkness with a pair of big eyes, for fear of encountering something like ghosts.

"The scale is really not small, which shows the glory of the day. It's a pity that it's only been a little more than a month, and it's completely dilapidated. Hai Dongqing didn't expect his nest to be like this. Lin Jue grabbed Bai Bing's hand and stepped on the fallen leaves and walked in, sighing as he walked.

Bai Bing was surprised by Lin Jueman's indifferent courage, walked closely to him, and said in a low voice: "Such a big mansion, we can't search it all night, where can we find it." ”

Lin Jue said: "Since it is a place to hide treasures, it must not be in the front house, it must be in the back house." However, it is normal for mortals to hide treasures that are secretive and easy for them to see. I estimate that Hai Dongqing is not exempt from vulgarity, and this property should be close to his original residence, so that he can hide the treasure and check it at any time. He said that there was a secret room, and that it would be done when he found it. Let's go, let's go to the former residence of Hai Dongqing. ”

Bai Bing nodded and agreed with Lin Jue's analysis. Such a large amount of treasure, Hai Dongqing must be taken care of from time to time, and the greatest possibility is on the side of the couch, which is easy to see.

The two of them quickly walked to the back house. Passing through the majestic but dilapidated temple, through a large mass of trees, and after passing through the second round gate, entering a courtyard. But as soon as they entered this courtyard, Lin Jue and Bai Bing both frowned at the same time. Because almost at the same time they smelled a foul odor in the air. That smell Lin Jue and Bai Bing were not unfamiliar with, and anyone who had experienced the battlefield test of blood and fire would recognize that taste. That's the smell of death, that's the stench of rotting corpses. Even though the smell is faint in the air, it can still be accurately distinguished.

"Canglang" sounded softly, Bai Bing pressed the machine spring, and the thin blade of the green flute popped out, flashing with a faint light. Lin Jue also held the Wang Ba box in his hand, and the two slowly walked along the path to the courtyard.

The courtyard was as dark as ink, and it seemed that you couldn't see your fingers even if you couldn't reach out. The air around them seems to be condensed, making it difficult to breathe. The ground was uneven, and the husband and wife had to probe forward step by step. Suddenly, Bai Bing exclaimed, stared ahead in a daze, his hand grabbed Lin Jue's hand tightly, and his nails buckled into Lin Jue's palm.

Lin Jue asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Bing'er? ”

"There, there, don't you see?" Bai Bing's eyesight was much better than Lin Jue's, and she pointed ahead and said in a trembling voice.

Lin Jue looked forward with all his might, and suddenly his hairs stood on end, and he almost screamed. But beneath the dilapidated outline of the corridor ahead, a row of white things fluttered and swayed in the air, and looking at the outline, it seemed to be in the shape of a human being. A layer of cold sweat broke out on Lin Jue's body, and he instantly remembered the haunted legend in this mansion that he had heard before. Before coming, Lin Jue asked the local officials a few words about the situation of this general altar, and the local officials also said that this place has become a ghost house.

"Husband...... We...... Let's go. I've really met a ghost...... It's not an opponent. Bai Bing said in a trembling voice.

Lin Jue calmed down and told himself: There are no ghosts in this world, don't scare yourself.

"Don't be afraid, if we encounter a ghost, can we escape? The things didn't come closer, and looked like they were hanging under the porch. Don't be afraid, everything has me. After all, ghosts are made up by people themselves to scare themselves. Let go of my hand, for my hand will be broken by your fingernails. Lin Jue said in a low voice.

Bai Bing snorted, hurriedly let go of Lin Jue's hand, and apologized repeatedly. Although Lin Jue's hand was not pinched, he was afraid that there were a few deep nail marks. However, this also made Lin Jue more awake, and the pain in the palm of his hand made Lin Jue understand that this was a reality, not a nightmare.

Lin Jue sighed and reached out to take out a torch from his back. Originally, he didn't intend to light a torch in an open area to attract attention, but at this moment, he had to use a torch. Such a dark place, and so strange, it is better to light a torch to illuminate it, so as not to be suspicious.

Torches were lit, illuminating the darkness around them. With the firelight, Bai Bing felt much better. Lin Jue held the torch and walked forward, Bai Bing tightly pulled his sleeve and followed, the two of them walked forward more than a dozen steps, the light of the torch illuminated the fluttering white things they saw before, Bai Bing couldn't help but scream again, and hugged Lin Jue's arm tightly and gasped.

Lin Jue was quite calm, because he could see clearly what the white things were under the long corridor. It was a dozen bodies hanging from the eaves of the corridor, and it was impossible to tell whether they had committed suicide or had been hanged from them. It must have been a long time, because the exposed feet have become bones. These corpses had long hair scattered and were dressed in white robes, swaying slightly in the night wind, and at first glance they did look like ghosts in white. No wonder there are rumors that someone saw a ghost in white, presumably seeing these things.

"These are the holy daughters of the Qingjiao." Lin Jue said softly.

"What?" Bai Bing, who hid his head behind Lin Jue and didn't dare to raise it, asked in surprise.

"You see, the style of this white robe is the clothes of the cult saintess. In the Qingjiao, men wear black robes and women wear white robes. This is also where the temple of the main altar of the Qingjiao is located, and there is no doubt that it must be the holy woman who serves here. Lin Jue said in a low voice.

"Yes...... But they ...... How can it hang on this, is it suicide? Bai Bing peeked up, and it happened that the wind picked up the messy hair of a corpse, revealing the black hole with low eye sockets and Bai Sensen's teeth, which frightened Bai Bing and screamed again.
