Yin Ban'er appeared too quickly, not to mention Li Zha and the old immortal were stunned for a moment, Jiang Yu also murmured in his heart.
Indeed, this speed is too fast.
Yin Ban'er held the bamboo hat, smiled, and said what he had just asked.
Yin spirits change over time in thirty years. Even if the mountains and rivers change, they will not leave their place at will.
The Yin spirit caught by Li Zha was originally a seventeen-year-old boy who fell into the water and died. He has been staying next to Xiao's mansion for more than thirteen years.
It happened half a year ago.
It was the Lantern Festival, so he slipped out to watch the Lantern Festival. It was night and he was having so much fun that he forgot about the time. He waited until the sky turned slightly white before returning reluctantly.
But he didn't want to see a terrifying scene.
There was a figure that was staggeringly walking in the courtyard of Xiao Mansion. The mansion was silent, and no one seemed to notice such anomaly.
The child was curious and wanted to get closer to have a look, but found that the old man could actually catch the Yin spirit with his bare hands!
Everyone knows that evil spirits will turn into evil spirits if they accumulate grudges. The old man grabbed the struggling Yin spirit, wrapped it around his hand, flattened it into a round shape, and was about to put it into his mouth!
Weird!
How could anyone eat Yin spirits!
The child was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and shivered back. The caught Yin spirit resisted desperately, and the soul was full of resentment. It was obviously about to mutate, but it was powerlessly swallowed by the old man. After chewing for a long time, he licked his lips with unfinished content!
Those eyes that were like night lanterns slowly turned around, scaring the child to the point of peeing and not daring to come again.
Jiang Yu gently held the red gourd, feeling strange in his heart.
I have always heard that evil spirits can harm people, but this is the first time I heard that someone can eat alive the evil spirits that are about to become evil spirits.
Yin Ban'er paused and whispered: "Girl, that little brat said that he saw the old man eating Yin spirits disappearing directly into the yard. If I guess, he shouldn't have disappeared directly. He is not Da Luo. immortal."
The old god glanced at him, half-lidded his eyes and nodded.
"You're right, he definitely didn't disappear suddenly. Maybe there was some mechanism in the yard."
Li Zha asked curiously: "There are so many courtyards in Xiao Mansion, where is that courtyard?"
Yin Ban'er glanced at Jiang Yu, who nodded without any trace.
"You guys come with me."
The simple courtyard was not far from where they were. After climbing over the two corridors and passing through the side room on the right side of the main hall, Yin Baner stopped.
Jiang Yu looked up and saw the three characters Qingyunxuan clearly engraved on the plaque above.
It seems like the name of an academy.
"This is it."
There was a lock on the wooden door. Ordinarily, a courtyard like this, so close to the main hall, shouldn't be abandoned. Several people turned over and fell down, only to find that there were dead branches and leaves inside, and they were covered with spider webs.
"Cough cough cough." Li Zha reached out to dust the dust in front of him and couldn't help coughing.
"What's going on with this place? No one is cleaning it?"
The old immortal looked around. Qingyun Pavilion was very large. In addition to the east and west wing rooms, there was a main room facing it, and a small kitchen on the side. The courtyard was spread out in the shape of a field in the middle. There were three or two plum blossoms planted, and there were stone tables and stones under the trees. chair, and an old well.
The snow that fell the day before was still accumulated in the courtyard, making it impossible for the branches to rise.
Jiang Yu stepped forward and patted the white snow on the plum blossoms, and broke off the branches.
"The spiritual power here is very abnormal, it should be here."
"abnormal?"
Li Zha's nose twitched slightly, and he looked at her with some surprise: "Why is it abnormal? The spiritual energy here is clearly very smooth, without any obstacles, and there is no sense of stagnation like setting up a barrier."
"Idiot." The old god sighed, "With such a decayed and dilapidated courtyard, and no one cleaning it, the spiritual energy will naturally become depleted and chaotic over time, but this place is clearly normal. This is the biggest abnormality."
"I suggest that we go explore the road separately. Maybe the lair that devours the old man of Yin Ling is here."
Jiang Yu's eyes wandered between the old god and Li Zha, and he said slowly: "If you encounter danger, try to escape and come to the hospital."
She had a gut feeling that something was very bad about this place, and there might be secrets about the old man of the Xiao family.
Not to mention that on the surface she and Li Zha were both here to help the Xiao family solve their problems, but in fact they were not invited by the same family.
Li Zha and this psychic magic weapon with a magical spirit must have their own secrets when they came here in the middle of the night.
Jiang Yu had no intention of finding out other people's secrets, so he decided not to go with them.
Li Zha wanted to say something else, but the old god agreed before her.
"Okay, the little girl is right. Let's investigate separately. If anything happens, we will meet in the courtyard."
The little girl rubbed her nose and smiled coquettishly at Jiang Yu.
"I'm going to the east wing. Could you please go to the west wing and check it out? As for the main room..."
"It's not too late to wait until we all come out to take a look."
After the old immortal finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the west wing. Seeing that he left directly, Li Zha didn't want to delay, so he could only nodded to Jiang Yu, turned around and ran towards the west wing.
Jiang Yu paused, took off the Dengxian Sword on his back, and held it in his hand. The entire sword slowly shrank visible to the naked eye.
Yin Ban'er was curious: "Can this knife of yours also change its shape?"
Jiang Yu weighed the Dengxian in his hand, which had shrunk to the size of a ring-shou knife, and pulled out the knife. The cold light from the blade made Jiang Yu feel much calmer.
"Ascension to Immortality is a magic weapon that has been with me for a long time. With it, I feel at ease."
She looked at the empty west wing, then turned and walked towards the east wing.
Reaching out to push open the door, a laborious creaking sound came from the crack of the door, and a lot of dust fell.
Jiang Yu didn't light the lamp, but wiped his eyes with the magic formula in his hand. The symmetrical red moles were faintly shiny and hot, and he could see everything in the room.
The east wing has never been inhabited. This room is not big. There are several ancient bookshelves on the wall, many vases, jades, and some collections of books.
There was an Eight Immortals table at the entrance. There were spider webs between the white porcelain tea cups. Jiang Yu stretched out his hand and found that his fingers were covered with dust.
There should be no one sitting in the room.
Jiang Yu put the knife behind his back and raised his hand to touch the vase and jade on the ancient shelf.
But most of the bottles and jades had dust on them, and there were no traces of human movement. The walls were also intact, so there should be no mechanisms.
What happened here? Why was such a good yard sealed up?
Jiang Yu walked to the inner room, where there was a rosewood desk. The outer window was wide open, and the tabletop was messy with the wind, and there were still a few drops of water condensing on it.
It seems that the wind and snow blew in and melted on the table.
Just as she was about to reach out and touch the rice paper on the table, she was stopped by Yin Baner.
He said in a deep voice: "Little girl, there is something strange on the table."
"How to tell?"
Yin Ban'er pointed to the half-exposed brass paperweight on the table that was pressed down by the rice paper: "This thing, if I guessed correctly, is a thing that holds spiritual energy. Who would put such a thing on the desk? It's not a treasure." Carry it with you."
Jiang Yu was a little surprised: "What will happen if I inject spiritual energy into it?"
"this……"
Yin Ban'er scratched his head: "I don't know, maybe there will be agencies attacking us."
"That being the case, I'm not afraid."
Jiang Yu held Dengxian in front of him, and Yin Banner immediately understood what she meant. He held the mourning banner tightly and watched the surroundings.
After being prepared, Jiang Yu reached out and pushed aside the rice paper that had been placed on the paperweight, and covered it with the paperweight.
The brass paperweight was very heavy. Jiang Yu poured spiritual energy into it. The paperweight seemed to be connected to something and she couldn't pick it up at all. She had to move it down along the edge.
The expected mechanism, sword rain, traps and the like did not appear. Suddenly there was a clicking sound under the Eight Immortals table in the hall. Both of them were stunned and raised their heads to look over.
I saw a stone brick disappearing under the Eight Immortals' table, and a downward passage was revealed.
