Wen Xingzhi had a dream in which a wolf bit his shoulder and dragged him along the ground...

It was late at night and the autumn wind was blowing.

Qingzhou's night market is only open during festivals, so the streets were deserted early today.

Shen Qing lay in bed, unable to fall asleep, and had no choice but to count sheep to try to make herself fall asleep.

Just as she was dazed and her head was dizzy from counting, she suddenly heard a very slight noise coming from the roof.

Although the sound was subtle, it was particularly clear in the quiet of the night, instantly making Shen Qing lose all sleepiness. She immediately sat up from the bed, quickly put on her clothes and went to the yard.

In the dim moonlight, she seemed to see a dark shadow flash across the roof, as fast as a ghost, leaving only a blurry shadow.

He is still awake in the middle of the night. Could this person be the flower thief from Qingzhou?

Shen Qing thought about it and couldn't sleep anyway, so he used his Qinggong to catch up with him, following the man not far away until he climbed into a house.

"The Qin family's old house?"

It shouldn't be stealing. All the members of the Qin family are in the Taiwei Mansion in the capital, so this old house should be an empty house.

What are you here for?

The man in black looked around cautiously, and when he saw that no one was following him, he opened the door and walked in.

Shen Qing carefully poked her head out, carefully observing the surroundings, then took a deep breath and jumped down from the roof with a nimble figure. When she landed, she bent her knees to cushion the impact, making no sound at all.

When she got to the door, she pressed her ear against it, holding her breath and listening intently for a long time, but she heard nothing. She frowned slightly, thinking to herself.

After a moment's thought, she finally made up her mind. She reached out, placed her hand lightly on the door, and slowly pushed. The hinges creaked slightly, a startling sound in the silence. Her heart tightened.

Death gate! Keep your voice down!

But there was still no other abnormality, so she tiptoed to open the door and walked in lightly.

The room was empty, no one was there.

Shen Qing frowned. She walked to the window and pushed it, only to find that it was sealed shut, which meant that there was only one door to leave the house.

What about the person who just came in?

There were subtle footsteps in the yard, and Shen Qing immediately held his breath and hid behind the curtain.

The next second, a man in red pushed the door open and came in.

"Young Master, is there a ghost here?" Changfeng was a little scared. He always felt that this place was eerie.

"Maybe."

"Ah..." Changfeng swallowed and kept his hand on the sword at his waist.

Shen Qing quietly looked at Jiang Zhuo's back. When she was thinking about whether to show up, he turned around and walked towards her.

Shen Qing's eyes flashed slightly, just in time to test his strength.

The wind from a palm brushed past Jiang Zhuo's ear, and he dodged the sudden attack by turning sideways.

"who?"

Shen Qing said nothing and continued to attack, and Jiang Zhuo immediately met him.

In this inky black room, the two men clashed swiftly like two ghosts. The darkness not only did not hinder their movements, but actually made their senses more acute.

Back and forth, the moves were unpredictable. Shen Qing's steps were light and nimble, each time perfectly dodging Jiang Zhuo's attacks and launching swift counterattacks. Jiang Zhuo, on the other hand, played steady and defended tightly, his attacks like thunderbolts, imposing and powerful.

For a moment, the only sounds in the room were the dull thud of fists and feet clashing and the sound of clothes fluttering in the wind.

Sure, it’s on par with her! Shen Qing opened the distance between the two and stood in the moonlight.

"Qingqing?" Jiang Zhuo looked at her in surprise, his eyes full of confusion, "Why are you here?"

"You have good skills." Shen Qing raised an eyebrow in praise, "I came here with a man in black."

"Men in black?"

"Yes, he disappeared after entering this room."

Shen Qing sat down on the chair and looked at Changfeng behind Jiang Zhuo.

"Maybe it was eaten by a ghost."

Changfeng's expression changed slightly.

Shen Qing is as bad as Jiang Zhuo, he just likes to scare people.

So where did he go?

The windows are sealed, so it can't just disappear out of thin air. Is there a secret room in this house?

Jiang Zhuo looked around the house, not missing any details. However, there were really not many things in the house. Almost everything was covered with dirt because no one used it.

Suddenly, a broken spider web appeared in Jiang Zhuo's sight, and he looked up along the spider web.

A rope hung from the middle of the beam, discreet but redundant. The spiderweb must have been snapped by someone pulling on it.

"Changfeng." Jiang Zhuo pointed at the rope above his head and motioned Changfeng to go up to the beam and take a look.

Chen Qing also looked up following Jiang Zhuo's gaze.

"There won't be any hanged ghosts, will there?"

Changfeng's legs trembled when he heard this.

"Sir, the rope is connected to the wall. It might be some kind of mechanism." Changfeng examined it carefully. "Sir, please step back with Miss Shen."

Changfeng pulled the rope hard, and the floor in the corner lifted up.

Jiang Zhuo walked over and lifted up the floor, revealing the passage underneath.

"It seems that the man in black should have entered here." Changfeng patted the dirt on his hands and said, "Master, I will go down and explore first."

"Be careful." Jiang Zhuo nodded.

Chen Qing propped up his head and watched Chang Feng go down, and said jokingly: "You are not afraid of ghosts now."

"Qingqing, do you believe that ghosts exist in this world?"

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows and was silent for a moment.

In the past, she would have said without hesitation, "There are no ghosts in this world," but now, after coming into this world, she has begun to believe in ghosts and gods.
