In the dark of night, the cold wind of the call sign mixed with large snowflakes fluttered and fell.

The closed vermilion gate of the manor slowly opened on its own, revealing the bluestone pavement inside and the hunchbacked old woman who was sweeping the road.

Behind her, there was already a pile of garbage, not too small, which looked like snow gathered in one place, but it looked like discarded waste paper.

"That's the paper man armor that Lingyin just sent in......" Gu Juan saw the blue fire rising in the depths of his eyes, and he could clearly see the flat plane holes stacked together under the pile of garbage,

As if sensing someone outside the door, she slowly raised her head and glanced in the direction of the door, revealing a blood-drenched face without a face.

Click!

A small piece of rubble fell from the liger stone carving on the left, and its only remaining black hole hole eyes silently lit up with a cloud of turquoise color, slowly turning to aim at Gu Ju's body.

Rumble!

The red flames soared, and a cold light fell, and the sculpture of the lion and tiger beast was instantly split into dozens of pieces of different sizes, crackling and scattered all over the ground.

Gu Juan hid the double-edged axe into the void, feeling the almost insignificant double value bonus, he stomped on half of the stone carving head that fell beside him with one kick, and turned to make a throat-cutting motion towards the faceless old woman on the stone road.

The old woman gave him an eerie smile, then slowly turned around and walked towards the depths of the manor.

The flattened pile of paper warriors actually stood up one by one as she passed by, and followed her.

"Holy Messenger ......"

"The Lord ......"

Zi Yuan and Ling Yin spoke almost at the same time, but Gu Juan shook his head slightly, "Don't rush in, you should have found out, there is a lot of wind and snow outside, but not a single snowflake has fallen inside this gate, it is very likely that once we step through this vermilion gate, we will step into an unknown and dangerous situation." ”

"There is no fault in being cautious, after all, it is something that can make the red clothes interested, so for the sake of safety, it is better to burn it first and then talk about other ......"

Rumble!

Before he could finish speaking, a scarlet flame poured into the door, surging along the straight bluestone path, and slamming towards the old woman's back.

As time passed, he gradually stopped releasing the red flame, and let out a long breath of burning breath, a slightly puzzled expression flashing across his face.

"Holy envoy, this bluestone road seems to give his subordinates a strange feeling of no end. ”

Shion said as she picked up a sharp piece of gravel from the ground and flew it towards the door with a flick of her wrist.

Then I watched the gravel keep roaring along the bluestone road, and the speed was also extremely fast, but I couldn't reach the back of the old woman with the lantern, until finally I fell to the ground with a click.

"There is indeed a problem. Gu Juan watched the piece of rubble fall to the ground, unable to reach the old woman's back from beginning to end, and after thinking for a moment, he flicked his fingers lightly.

The next moment, Ling Yin and Zi Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, looking at the old woman who was about to reach the end of the bluestone road to stop without warning, and her whole body turned into Dao Dao black qi, and it was like countless unjust souls who died in vain, roaring and circling in the void, and finally disappeared without a trace.

All that remained was the broken white paper lantern, which fell to the ground with a clatter, and the dim glow was like a road sign, illuminating a small piece of bluestone pavement.

The blow hit, but Gu Juan didn't have too much relaxed expression, but gently exhaled a breath of turbid air and frowned slightly.

Because what he just cast was a divine stab, a method that he couldn't continue to use even when he returned.

If there is only one old woman in this house, it doesn't matter, or even a few more, he can still prick them with a needle and send them into the Yellow Spring, but what if there are many similar people inside, how many times can he send out a few strokes when he is exhausted?

Even if he used the fire to urge the Guiyuan fist, how long could he hold on?

"The situation is unknown, and it is not dangerous. After Gu Juan was silent for a moment, he directly beckoned Zi Yuan and Ling Yin to retreat, and it was not until he came to the official road that he stopped for the time being and looked back at the Mu Guo Mansion under the dark night.

In the wind and snow, it looks like an ordinary and ordinary dilapidated manor, even if you look at it with the blue fire of the gods, you can't find anything weird.

But what he had just experienced at the gate reminded him that this place was unusual, and that it hid secrets that people could not yet see.

After all, it is a place where the red clothes are specially sent information from inside the door to help investigate, even if you think about it with your toes, you don't really think that there is no danger here.

"Let's go back to the city first, and come back tomorrow during the day. ”

Gu Juan thought for a moment, but decided to collect more information from the periphery first, maybe he could find some valuable clues from it, and then he could make a targeted plan.

At the moment when he turned to leave, suddenly at the end of the dirt road, outside the half-open gate of the manor, a figure flashed away, and it seemed that he was still wearing the standard armor of the Great Wei Military Town.

Gu Juan stopped and looked left and right, "Have you seen a figure wearing armor?"

Zi Yuan and Ling Yin shook their heads at the same time, and even the ugly dog and Xiang Wei didn't notice anything.

He frowned in thought, but after a few breaths, he turned around and left, without the slightest intention of going to investigate.

This thing doesn't appear sooner or later, just waiting for him to come out and rub it when he is about to leave, obviously not wanting him to go.

In this way, why should he follow the other party's script, go back to Beicang City to eat meat, drink wine, and sleep again, isn't it fragrant?

Half an hour later, Gu Juan successfully returned to Beicang City, and he did not always go back to the same place when he walked around like he had encountered a few strange incidents.

When he came to the inn, he really called the post man and the back kitchen out of bed, and after throwing out a lot of money, they opened the sealed stove with a smile, and soon a sumptuous table was formed.

Gu Juan took a sip of the wine bowl, picked up a bone stick and chewed it and swallowed it, exhaled a breath of wine comfortably, and stretched out the chopsticks to a plate of salted eggs.

His hand paused in the center of the salted egg plate, then slowly looked up at a figure that had quietly appeared in the seat opposite.

In addition to him, the person sitting opposite also stretched out a pair of chopsticks to the plate, and grabbed the same salted egg as him.

"Look, you're going to have to talk to me about this here?"

Gu Juan narrowed his eyes, looked at the man in armor opposite with an expressionless face, and with a little force in his hand, he split the salted egg in two, half on his own chopsticks, and half on the man's hand.
