As soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and turned his head to look, only to see that on Ah Xun's side, a black shadow was lying quietly on the ground in the direction of the candlelight, and on the wall on the same side of everyone, there were four figures standing together.

Fu Xiangzhi decisively drew his sword: "No, someone, everyone be careful!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a strong wind suddenly rose on the flat ground, scurrying around the room without gaps, first blowing out the candle in Ah Xun's hand, and the surroundings were buried in boundless darkness again. Immediately afterwards, the wind suddenly increased, blowing the people in the house unstable and swaying from side to side.

The strong wind blew so that Beiran couldn't open her eyes, and even the whole person was about to be swept away by it, and suddenly, someone in the darkness grabbed her hand.

But it was only a short moment, and it was released again.

Before Bei Ran could recover from the warmth of his palm, which he didn't know from who it had come from, the strange wind stopped again, and disappeared without warning, just as it had come.

The next moment, Ah Xun's candlelight lit up, and almost at the same time, the strange black shadow reappeared, taking the initiative to attack Ah Xun and Bei Dye, and the candle was extinguished again.

Spotting the enemy, Beiran grabbed something from the side casually, and without much thought, he threw it at the black shadow, and shot quickly and ruthlessly, but as expected, it didn't hit. The black image was disembodied, and the North Dye was very accurate, waiting to hit the target, but it passed directly through its body and hit the wall behind it, and the sound of heavy objects shattering suddenly came from the empty hall.

After a while, there was no movement around, and Kitazan asked, "Are you all right?" ”

Fu Xiangzhi's voice came from one side: "What happened?" ”

Ah Xun answered: "Someone attacked us. Then she continued to light the candle without giving up, this time there was finally nothing to hinder her, the dim candlelight rose a little bit more, but when the wick burned to the fullest, the round halo only illuminated the three people who added herself, Bei Ran was shocked: "Lan An is gone!" ”

The next moment, twelve points of uneasiness spread in Bei Ran's heart, Lan An is a human race boy, he doesn't know magic, he doesn't understand metaphysics, and the black shadow is unknown, it must be bad luck to be caught by it, countless possibilities of Lan An's murder jumped in her mind, like the water of the Dead Sea little by little over her head, swallowing her consciousness.

As soon as Bei Ran's words came out, Ah Xun was also startled, and immediately turned around with a candle, but still didn't find any trace of Lan An, and finally gave up, and then scolded: "It's really strange, how can there be wind in the house, and that shadow, who is it?" ”

She angrily punched the shelf next to her, and she was so unlucky that she violently struck it to pieces. The sound of the porcelain pieces falling was particularly sharp and prominent in the open environment, and Ah Xun's palm was also cut out of a thin hole by the sharp porcelain pieces, she said "ah", and then held a candle to shine a light, wanting to see where it was sacred.

There is nothing unusual about what she shattered, but a porcelain vase, it doesn't seem to be an antique, it's not worth a few dollars, but the things mixed with the shards all over the ground made her a little suspicious, and she didn't know what it was, so she called Bei Ran and Fu Xiangzhi.

"Master, come and see, what are these ashes?"

Bei Ran and Fu Xiangzhi immediately came to her side, and squatted down together to look at the pile of gray powder on the ground.

Bei Dye twisted a little and rubbed it with her fingertips, this powder is extremely fine, not like dust, not like plant ash, she took it to her nose and smelled it, and had an idea in her heart, but she didn't say it immediately, only asked Ah Xun: "Has this ash always been here?" ”

"It shouldn't be, I just broke this porcelain vase, and I saw the white ash along with the fragments, so they should have been in this bottle before."

Bottle?

"Do you still have your candles? Take it out and light it all. ”

Ah Xun immediately touched his pocket: "There is." "There are five left, and she clicks all of them according to what Bei Dye said. The entire dark room instantly lit up from near and far, and a warm yellow light sprinkled the entire room.

And when every dark corner was illuminated by candlelight, the three of them saw that this room was not big or small, but it was very empty, and there were not many objects placed inside, only a plurality of shelves were placed against the walls on all sides, and on each shelf were placed several porcelain vases of different shapes and sizes, colors and patterns, all of which were exquisite, the big ones were half a person high, and the small ones were slightly better than the bowls.

Only then did Bei Ran realize that when the black shadow attacked her and Ah Xun, out of urgency, she grabbed it and hit it with a porcelain bottle, and at this moment, the bottle she used as a weapon was quietly shattered in the other corner of the wall, and there was a lot of gray powder gathered around it.

Oxunqi: "What are you doing with so many bottles here?" ”

Bei Dye is also thinking about this problem, Rao is that these bottles are well-made, and some elegant people put them at home for viewing, which is pleasing to the eye, but there are dozens of them in a room, will it be too much? And these gray ......

Fu Xiangzhi had been studying the white ashes on the ground, and he had no clue for a long time, so he asked Bei Ran: "Senior, what are these ashes?" ”

Bei Ran looked at the large pile of bottles in the room, and then looked back at the small pieces in his hand, and said quietly: "This ...... It should be ashes. ”

"!! Ashes"

Ah Xun and Fu Xiangzhi shouted at the same time, and quickly retreated in unison, a few steps away from those ashes.

Seeing their frightened looks, Bei Ran smiled: "Demons and ghosts dare to catch them, and a little ashes scare you?" ”

Ah Xun and Fu Xiangzhi glanced at each other, thinking about it, the evil monsters who did evil and the evil ghosts who died, which is not as terrible as this pile of dead ashes that will be scattered as soon as the wind blows, they all rush up without blinking, and now they see this thing that is not even a dead person, and they even retreat, what a shame!

In the end, it was still affected by the gloomy environment here, coupled with the elusive black shadow, and the disappearance of Lan An, which made several people confused, so that now there is a little wind and grass, and they are afraid.

Hokuzen walked to one of the walls, picked up a bottle and looked at it, like two broken ones, some white powder lying quietly at the bottom of the bottle. Bei Ran then instructed Ah Xun and Fu Xiangzhi: "You all go and see if each of these bottles contains ashes." ”

Ordered, the two of them went separately to look at it, and the result was indeed the same as Bei Dye thought, and each bottle here contained ashes. Therefore, these bottles are not so much used as ornamental ornaments, but rather as utensils used to store ashes, and this room must be a special place for storing urns.

Bei Ran counted them, plus the two that had been damaged by them, a total of eighteen, she suddenly thought of something, and asked the two of them, "When we were in the dessert shop, the people at the table said how many young men had disappeared here?" ”

Fu Xiangzhi thought about it, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "Eighteen!" ”
