Suxueyuan is located on the west side of Lu's mansion.
To get there from the servant courtyard in the northeast corner, you need to pass through most of the house and pass through many pavilions, pavilions, courtyards and bridges.
Fortunately, Gu Xu has the talent of "knowledge and memory".
When he read the information about Lu's old house, he had already completely engraved its floor plan in his mind, allowing him to easily identify the direction in this maze-like building complex.
Chu Fengge followed him in a daze, unable to remember how many turns he had turned and how many doors he had walked through.
According to his habit, as long as someone else leads the way, he will not remember the way.
Time passes minute by minute.
The sky was dark, with no stars or moon visible.
As Gu Xu walked, he estimated the time with his pulse and breathing.
It was now quiet in Lu's house, and no one or ghost could be seen.
However, if he cannot reach his destination within a quarter of an hour, he is likely to encounter those huge, ghost-like evil spirits that Chu Fengge mentioned.
About ten minutes later, Gu Xu and Chu Fengge arrived at the location of "Suxueyuan".
According to the description in the information, Gu Xu remembered that the "Snow Garden" was located on the bank of the pond. It was a complex of buildings consisting of waterside pavilions, pavilions, winding corridors and stone bridges.
Every summer, lotus flowers bloom in the pond, and the fragrance is refreshing; in winter, the water surface freezes, snow falls on the long bridge, and it is covered with silver.
But now, the beauty of the past is long gone.
The entire building was covered in blood-stained frost.
At Gu Xu's feet, skeletons frozen in frost often appear, which look creepy.
"Now we have arrived at our destination ahead of schedule," Gu Xu silently thought to himself, "Next, we need to enter this dilapidated building and find the artifact spirit of the 'Jinghong Pen'."
He took out the talismans in his pocket, checked them over, and made sure that none of them were missing. Then he took the lead on the Jiuqu Stone Bridge and walked towards the "Suxue Garden".
Chu Fengge followed closely behind.
However, after taking just a few steps, Gu Xu felt something was wrong.
He faintly heard a slight breathing beside him, and a cold breath blowing in his hair, as if he was walking side by side with someone.
But there was no one beside him.
Chu Fengge was five steps behind him.
According to Caring Xu's past habits, when he encounters such a strange situation, he usually throws a stack of ghost-killing charms without saying anything.
But today's situation is much more complex than in the past.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Gu Xu decided to remain calm and observe carefully.
The two quickly reached the end of the long bridge.
Half of the main building of Suxueyuan is built in the pool, with windows on all sides and a hand-held verandah. The door is decorated with rocks.
On its door, there is a crumbling plaque with four elegant and elegant characters written on it: "Suxue Bingxin".
At this moment, Gu Xu felt a strange feeling on his feet again - his right foot seemed to be tied by a rope and he could not move forward half a step further.
He lowered his head and found a man with mutilated limbs lying at his feet.
The man fell face down in the snow and had already lost his legs; his torso was penetrated by an ice pick, and a chain made of frozen frost was tied around his neck.
He stretched out a hand as skinny as a skeleton, grabbed Gu Xu's ankle, and murmured: "Help me...help me..."
Gu Xu ignored him.
He lifted his feet, broke free easily, and continued on.
Then Gu Xu and Chu Fengge finally stepped onto the steps and arrived at the gate of the main building of "Suxueyuan".
Gu Xu noticed that the door of this building was tightly locked with chains made of ice.
"How do we need to get in?"
As he thought, he reached out his hand and tried to knock on the door.
The moment his hand touched the door, the ice chains suddenly melted and turned into ice-cold snow water, slowly flowing down the steps.
Then, the door made a creaking sound and slowly opened.
The room was dark and nothing could be seen clearly.
Just as Gu Xu tried to illuminate his vision with the light of true energy, the sad sound of the cave flute sounded again.
The voice was deep and melancholy, like a stream of tears flowing lonely in the dark night.
Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.
At this moment, he clearly felt that the source of the flute sound was very close to him.
It was as if it was coming from inside this building.
…………
Just a few minutes ago, Tang Hui also used his "Imperial Envoy Token" to arrive at the shelter in the northwest corner safe and sound.
The turret is covered by a golden light shield.
The ice, snow, cold wind, and darkness outside cannot invade it.
Occasionally, a few huge, ferocious-looking ghosts passed by the turret.
However, when they see this dazzling golden turret, they will immediately turn around and choose to stay away from it.
Tang Hui passed through the light mask, pushed open the door, and walked straight into the turret.
"Master Tang, you are back!"
As soon as Tang Hui entered, many people gathered around and greeted him warmly.
Among these people were the subordinates he brought to confiscate his property, as well as many exorcist monks who later tried to solve the case but failed in the test.
In order to avoid the pursuit of ghosts and the invasion of cold wind, they came to this shelter in the northwest corner building.
As the founder of the shelter, Tang Hui obviously has a very high prestige among this group of people.
Everyone regarded Tang Hui as their savior.
And Tang Hui's diligent, thrifty and courteous gentleman style also deeply admired them.
I saw Tang Hui with an impeccable smile on his face, greeting these people without any pretense.
"I think maybe it won't be long before we can leave this terrible mansion." He inadvertently revealed a shocking piece of news.
"Leave here?" Everyone's eyes widened, "Master Tang, are you kidding?"
"Do you think I'm someone who makes fun of such a big thing?" Tang Hui's smile was kind and confident, and there seemed to be a magic power that made people believe in him involuntarily.
At this time, the sound of the cave flute suddenly sounded.
The sound floated from the darkness, like a woman's cry.
Everyone present had been in Lu's haunted house for a long time, so they naturally understood that this was a sign that the scene in the haunted house was about to change.
"I'm a little tired. Let's go up and rest first." Tang Hui said to everyone.
Then, he walked along the stairs towards the roof.
Because Tang Hui has the highest status and prestige in the shelter, he has a room of his own on the rooftop.
Everything in this room is neatly arranged, there is no dust at all, and it is full of the atmosphere of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Tang Hui took a deep breath and slowly sat down on an old wooden chair.
Now, his plan has reached the most critical moment, and there is no room for any mistakes.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a spider spinning a web on the wall opposite him.
A wave of irritability suddenly surged in his chest.
He waved.
The spider fell into his hand instantly.
"Has anyone ever taught you that it's rude to break into someone else's room?" he said to the spider.
The spider struggled helplessly in his hands.
"It's no use knowing you were wrong now," Tang Hui chuckled, "If you do something wrong, you should be punished."
As he spoke, he pulled off the eight legs of the spider one by one, and then crushed it into paste.
