"Fellow Taoist priests, we have been tired from traveling and traveling, and it is getting late now. Please take a rest for now."
Mother Xu waved her hand to recruit people, "Mother Zhang, please take all the Taoist priests to rest."
Then, a middle-aged woman came forward with an expressionless face, stretched out her hand, pointed outside the main hall, and said in a cold voice: "Taoist Master, please——"
The few of them looked at each other, said goodbye to Mrs. Xu, and followed Ma Zhang through the long corridor to the guest room.
Although there are many guest rooms, the players decided to share a room with two people so that they can take care of each other.
Xu Zhixi naturally shared a room with Zhang Meng.
Gu Zi took the initiative to share a room with Chen Zhe.
He put his fingers against the frame of the mirror and said with a gentle smile: "It's better for an old player to lead a new player."
Naturally, the two newcomers to the case of Wu Biao and Chen Zhe were in favor with both hands and feet.
Wang Li snorted coldly and did not object. He doesn't care about this C-level rookie. It doesn't matter to him whether he cooperates or not.
After Zhang Ma sent them to the room, she left a message before leaving: "Fellow Taoist priests, try not to go out at night and don't pay attention to anything you see. This house is not peaceful."
The night got dark quickly, and the flickering candlelight imprinted on her face, illuminating her ancient and unwavering eyes.
After Zhang Ma left, Xu Zhixi was scolded.
Wang Li raised his big sword and pointed it directly at Xu Zhixi, "Why are you talking so much to the NPC? The more you talk, the more you expose!"
Xu Zhixi took a few steps back reflexively. Her face was already pale, but under the candlelight, her eyes were sparkling.
Xu Zhixi seemed panicked, but actually she was cursing in her heart.
Who knew that Xu Bai would catch her alone?
Do you think she really wants to win the NPC's attention?
"Also, you guys too, don't say too much, don't reveal our identity as players."
Wu Biao and the others nodded tremblingly.
The little naughty dog Chen Zhe still couldn't help but ask questions, his voice still trembling: "Aren't they all human? Can they also hurt players?
This is when Gu Zi replied: "In the dungeon, no matter whether it is a ghost or not, you must be vigilant. You don't have to be friendly with them, but remember not to be hostile to NPCs head-on.
"Otherwise...it will end badly."
"If there are NPCs, you have to be selective in your belief. You can't believe them all, and you can't believe them all."
Wang Li warned them a few more words, "The NPC said they can't go out at night. This is supposed to be a protection for newbies. Just don't go out. Don't make trouble for me. Stay quietly. I don't care if you die."
After saying that, they separated to their respective rooms.
Zhang Meng occupied the bed, leaning on the mattress with her eyes half closed, looking very charming.
"This bed belongs to me. You can make it on the floor."
She waved her hand with red nail polish and said matter-of-factly.
Xu Zhixi didn't answer. She looked back and forth at the entire room.
This room is decorated in an antique style, with wooden furniture, layers of gauze curtains, a pear wood carved bed, surrounded by four corners, and exquisite carvings.
The entire Xu House is in the style of a standard ancient large house, and its structure and layout are very similar to the old house left by Xu Zhixi's grandfather.
This house has been prosperous for at least three generations, and the family has a deep foundation.
She looked at the dancing candlelight and thought of Xu Bai's words before, the "third brother who turned into a ghost".
They all knew that Xu Xuan, the third young master, had turned into a fierce ghost, but when Xu Bai made provocations, she paid special attention to the fact that everyone's expressions were very cold.
He didn't seem to care about Xu Xuan, a fierce ghost.
Is it because they specially invited some Taoist priest to suppress it, so they are not afraid?
But that Li Gui was his biological mother and son after all.
If they had a deep family relationship, mentioning Xu Xuan shouldn't be so bland. In fact, Xu Bai's words showed no respect for his third brother.
But if their relationship was estranged, this evil spirit should have been removed long ago, instead of engaging in a ghost marriage.
Ghost marriage - bad habit!
Xu Zhixi sneered.
"Xu Zhixi, I want to go to the toilet."
Zhang Meng got out of bed and walked up to her, his face flushed and squirming.
"You want me to accompany you?"
Zhang Meng nodded, "If you agree, I will give you half of the bed later."
"But the NPC seems to say you can't go out. How about you find a basin?"
There was a crack in Zhang Meng's gorgeous face.
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah." Xu Zhixi nodded.
Zhang Mengmu struggled and finally took a breath, "No matter, no matter, nothing will happen if you go out for a while." She encouraged herself and walked towards the door with one breath.
"What might happen to you?"
In horror stories, people who go to the toilet alone often die quickly.
"What are you talking about?"
Zhang Meng looked angry and opened the door directly and walked out.
She walked along the corridor, the surroundings were dark, and there was no light except the candle in her hand.
Perhaps because of the large space, this house is very shady at night. She took off her green robe and came out wearing only a white tunic.
Zhang Meng hugged his chest and shivered.
She turned back and pulled Xu Zhixi over forcefully.
"Please, come with me, I'm really scared to be alone."
The candlelight in the room flickered, illuminating Zhang Meng's pleading eyes.
Xu Zhixi still refused.
Her life is more important.
Zhang Meng had no choice but to forcefully pull Xu Zhixi away. Her strength was so strong that Xu Zhixi couldn't break free and was pulled out.
After walking all the way, he finally found a toilet. Zhang Meng quickly solved the physical problem and then returned along the original road.
However, the scene in front of him became increasingly unfamiliar.
"Are you sure we are going back?"
Zhang Meng's voice changed slightly.
"Not sure." Xu Zhixi pursed her lips and shook her head.
The two looked at each other, calmed down, and continued walking forward. Finally, a bright room appeared.
"Go and have a look, if anyone happens to ask for directions."
After saying that, Xu Zhixi stepped forward and knocked on the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as her knuckles touched the wooden door, she heard a "squeak" sound, and then the door opened by itself.
Xu Zhixi turned around with a solemn expression, "I suddenly had a bad premonition."
Zhang Meng trembled and asked in a trembling voice: "What's the bad premonition?"
"I just have a bad feeling, but I don't know what it is exactly."
"You just like to think wildly. You just said something happened, but we are okay too, right?"
"We..." Maybe we should go.
Before Xu Zhixi finished speaking, Zhang Meng stepped in first.
Suddenly, a scream pierced the night.
Zhang Meng covered her lips and her eyes widened.
Xu Zhixi walked in and stood beside her, staring blankly at the ground.
There was a pool of blood on the ground. The blood was half dry and partially coagulated, showing a reddish-brown color. A woman in white clothes with a very tragic death appearance lay in the middle of the pool of blood. Her skin was a strange blue-gray color, her cheeks were deeply sunken, and her eyes were wide and protruding.
The half-burning red candle overturned and fell into her hand. The fire burned and the wax flowed and solidified.
"Mummy?"
Zhang Meng swallowed and carefully pulled Xu Zhixi's sleeve.
The woman on the ground had cuts on her limbs, and some of her blood had dried up around her. Xu Zhixi bit her lip and tried her best to calm down, but her trembling voice still revealed her inner fear: "Her blood was drained." Done..."
"Is it a ghost killing people?"
Before Xu Zhixi could answer Zhang Meng's words, a group of people heard the sound and came over.
There are players.
There are also people from the Xu family.
Xu Bai was the first one to come in. She rushed through the door and suddenly saw this scene. She screamed and slumped on the ground with a horrified look on her face. She covered her lips and trembled.
The one who died was the bride who had just been married.
