Xu Rendong knew that the thing in the dark would not hurt him immediately. But if he goes wrong, he will die here.

After all, this time, even Joe couldn't save him.

Xu Rendong calmed down and began to adjust the order of the tablets. With the previous experience, this time he moved much faster. It's just that the last time I came in was during the day, but this time it was night. The light in the ancestral hall was much dimmed.

The candle on the incense table also seemed to be shaking extremely violently. Xu Rendong stared at the tablet for a long time and felt that his eyes were a bit blurry. He could only play up the spirit of 120,000 points and force himself to concentrate all his attention.

As time passed, the darkness in the ancestral hall grew thicker. This feels very strange: the darkness is obviously an insubstantial thing, but Xu Rendong is in it, but he can really feel the weight of the darkness on his body.

It was an oppressive feeling that almost got into his pores, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Not to mention he was drenched in the rain, at this time all his clothes were wet against his body, cold and damp. He suddenly had the illusion that he was in the lair of some kind of cold-blooded animal. His body's instinct made him want to escape immediately, but he couldn't.

He must be calm and calm, arrange the eighty-one tablets according to their seniority, and place them in the correct positions one by one.

Xu Rendong adjusts the order of the tablets neatly while sorting out the relationship of generations in her heart. The faint scent of sandalwood penetrated into the nose. When I first entered the ancestral hall, I felt a little pungent. Now I'm getting used to it.

He subconsciously reached out to the censer, trying to smother the sandalwood. His heart suddenly froze - he heard the sneer from above his head again.

The voice this time seems to be different from the previous one. It was a dull old man's voice just now, but now he is much younger. This is by no means a good sign, because it means that there is more than one thing hiding in the ceiling.

…Maybe there are ninety-eighty-one.

Such a scene suddenly appeared in Xu Rendong's mind: Eighty-one ghosts crowded on a small piece of ceiling, usually locked in the ancestral hall, lonely as snow, finally came a stranger , everyone is lining up, you hum and I scare people in turn.

It's kind of funny to think about it.

…Wait, why am I still thinking about being funny at such a critical moment?

I was really spoiled by Lian Joe.

Xu Rendong couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, and the tense string in her heart relaxed a little. This relaxation, he suddenly noticed that the sandalwood in the incense burner had only burned to a small amount.

He thought: Do you want to re-apply?

In addition to fruit, tobacco and alcohol, there is also a small bundle of sandalwood on the incense case. He took out three dots from it, and bowed devoutly to the tablet three times.

Every time he bowed, he felt the invisible pressure on his shoulders lessen. When he inserted three sticks of sandalwood into the incense burner, the suffocating feeling in the ancestral hall disappeared.

The light didn't change, but Xu Rendong felt that her heart suddenly opened up. Even the air started to flow again. The strong wind wrapped in rain blew in from outside the door, which was cool, but unexpectedly gave Xu Rendong a sense of security.

It seems that the fragrance is in the right place.

Xu Rendong breathed a sigh of relief and refocused on the tablet.

Without the repression of that invisible pressure, the rhythm of his adjustment of the tablet has also sped up a lot. Before long, all the tablets were back where they were supposed to be.

When Xu Rendong stood on tiptoe and put the last ancestral tablet on the top of the incense case, he heard a disappointed sigh from above his head. It was followed by a "click" sound, as if it had triggered some kind of wooden mechanism.

Xu Rendong didn't react when something hit his head.

“Hee hee…”

Xu Rendong covered her head and glanced at the ceiling helplessly. Then pick up the wooden box that fell on the ground.

Open, inside is a silver... oval ring?

Xu Rendong is really hard to describe what this thing is. It is roughly an oblong oval shape, with one end slightly raised and the other end twisted into a triangle. There is also a small handle at the back of the triangle, presumably for ease of holding.

But what is the use of holding this thing?

Xu Rendong was scrutinizing carefully, and suddenly her ankles became cold. He was startled, and subconsciously raised his foot and kicked, trying to throw the thing out. However, the thing was wrapped around his ankle, and he couldn't get rid of it.

The little white snake wrapped around his ankle coolly, but did not climb up. Even when Xu Rendong looked at it in astonishment, he slowly let go and slipped off the back of his feet.

This snake looks familiar...

The little snake was crawling slowly on the ground, and suddenly turned around, a pair of black eyes staring at Xu Rendong. Xu Rendong felt that the snake didn't mean to hurt him, and suddenly thought: Does it want me to follow it?

So Xu Rendong followed it. The little snake stopped from time to time and turned around to confirm whether Xu Rendong was keeping up. It didn't take long for Xu Rendong to come to Ishimi Chuan's room.

This snake was indeed sent by Iwami Chuan.

The black Tang suit embroidered with dark silver snake pattern appeared in front of Xu Rendong. It's no wonder that the Tang suit has not yet dried, so he will wear it. It turns out that this thing has such a magical effect.

It must be a hidden item.

Xu Rendong thought so, stretched out her hand and pushed open the door. Suddenly it was dark. He couldn't help being surprised, and instinctively took two steps back, only then did he see what was shaking slightly in front of him.

A hanged body.

It was the corpse of the maid who was ordered by Iwami Pier to commit suicide.

The female corpse hung upright on the beam, and it seemed that she had been dead for some time. The moment Xu Rendong opened the door, the strong wind rushed into the house wrapped in rainwater, so it shook the female corpse.

A pair of small feet pointed down, and there was a kicked stool on the ground. Xu Rendong looked up and saw the maid tilted her head, her charming and charming face had turned pale, her bright red tongue sticking out, and a faint smile still hung on the corner of her mouth.

Lightning and thundering outside the house made the female corpse pale and terrifying. It was supposed to be a terrifying scene, but Xu Rendong's mood was a bit complicated.

There was a hearty laugh not far away. Xu Rendong heard that it was Shi Jianchuan's voice, and immediately closed the door and hid.

Ishimi Chuan and the old lady with little feet came up laughing. When she came to the door of the ancestral hall, the old lady seemed to notice something and suddenly pushed the door in.

"Who came in?!" The old lady looked around in the ancestral hall and found no clues. She ran out angrily and cursed with her hands on her hips, "Who stole the treasure from the ancestral hall!"

Ishi Jianchuan pretended to be surprised: "What? There are treasures in the ancestral hall? No wonder you always stop them from entering."

The old lady reacted, her withered claws moved like lightning, and grabbed Iwami Chuan's neck: "Yes! You!"

Ishi Jianchuan frowned slightly, but before he could see any movement, the old lady screamed and let go.

"How can you have such a thing!" The old lady screamed, shaking her wrist desperately. I saw a small white snake wrapped around her arm, and the sharp snake teeth bit deeply into her wrist, just at the tendon. As a result, her entire palm could not move, and even the skin around her wrist quickly festered.

Ishi Jianchuan sighed: "You lost something, I know you are in a hurry." But how can you suspect a guest? Have you forgotten who you are?"

"You, you..." The old lady clutched her wrist, frightened. She couldn't stop backing away, watching in horror as the purple-red patch on her wrist rapidly expanded, spreading to the entire arm.

In the blink of an eye, her entire forearm was festering and rotten. Even the bones inside were stained black!

The old lady let out a desperate scream. Shi Jianchuan sighed again. His voice was still lazy, as if he had no energy: "Okay, don't waste your time here. Since you've lost something, go find it elsewhere."

Speaking, he raised his hand and hooked his fingers towards the little snake. The little snake let go, raised his head, and glanced back at Shi Jianchuan. Then it turned into a faint light and disappeared suddenly.

At this time, if someone has excellent eyesight, they will definitely be able to see the light flying towards Ishi Jianchuan, turning into a dark silver serpentine pattern on his black Tang suit.

Unfortunately, in the corridor at this time, there was no third person present except Iwami Chuan and the old lady with little feet.

The old lady clutched her broken arm and stumbled away. Iwami Chuan stood by the railing, watching the storm outside. He suddenly stretched out his hand, spread his palm flat, to catch the rain.

It was raining heavily. Almost instantly, his entire palm was filled with rainwater, and even his sleeves were completely soaked.

Ishi Jianchuan glanced at the palm of his hand thoughtfully, then flicked his sleeves, and walked neatly towards his room.

Xu Rendong, who was waiting in the guest room, naturally did not see those scenes. All he heard was that the door was opened with a "squeak", followed by a scolding.

"Fuck!"

In an instant, the silver light burst out. Several silver rays of light flew towards the female corpse on the roof beam, and in the next second, a snow-white giant python appeared out of nowhere, wrapped around the female corpse and showed its fangs, and opened its mouth and bit her neck!

Xu Rendong was shocked, but quickly calmed down. Coldly said: "She is dead, dead. You don't need to kill her again."

Iwamizumi stood at the door of the room. He was stunned for a moment, stroking his chest, still in shock. Hearing what Xu Rendong said, he frowned and looked at the female corpse in front of him, and then he understood what was going on.

"...I thought she would cut her wrists or something." Ishimi said angrily, "Who would have known such a big battle."

Xu Rendong: "..." I still really want to knock a brick on his forehead.

"Speak the business." Shi Jianchuan pushed the female corpse away and sat calmly in front of Xu Rendong, "What did you find in the ancestral hall?"

The giant boa constrictor wrapped around the female corpse gradually faded, and quickly turned into a mist and disappeared without a trace. Xu Rendong looked away from the female corpse and briefly explained what he had just experienced. Then take out the silver object and show it to him.

"Just this one? Nothing else?" Ishimi Chuan stroked the silver object with his fingertips, the expression on his face was unpredictable.

Xu Rendong said: "Just this one. Do you know what this is?"

"..." Ishigami was silent for a moment, then reluctantly said, "To tell you the truth, I don't know what this is."

Xu Rendong was instantly disappointed. I thought how powerful the real Jiuguan boss was, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.

It's not as good as Lian Qiao.

Iwami Chuan noticed his dislike, and his expression became a little embarrassed. He suddenly remembered something and changed the subject: "By the way, where's your friend?"

"He's in the room." Xu Rendong said, "I tied him up, nothing will happen."

"What floor do you live on?"

"The third floor."

"Oh, then you'd better go down and see him." Ishigami turned on the folding fan with a snap, and his tone became calm again, "The earth building has no drainage outlet, and the rainwater is all accumulated in the yard Inside. When I went down just now, the stagnant water had poured into the second floor."
