Chapter 62
The thin wooden door made a teeth-grinding creaking sound. Seeing that it was about to be unable to withstand the impact of the thing outside the house, Shao Feng screamed and ran away with his head in his hands.
Lu Nan grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
The next moment, the ID card in his hand suddenly turned into a golden white paintbrush, and Lu Nan gently waved the brush twice in the air.
After the golden ink marks were shaken open, they attached to the wooden door, and an unbreakable golden door appeared in front of the few people.
Dong Haoyue’s white figure could no longer be seen, and even the lightning and thunder outside the house seemed to have been temporarily blocked out.
The room was so quiet that only the breathing of the players could be heard. Seeing this, Shao Feng's pounding heart finally calmed down.
"Master! You are really a master of exorcism!" He held Lu Nan's hand and said excitedly.
Lu Nan frowned and waved his hand away, and the golden brush turned back into a thin card.
"Anything reinforced by the paintbrush will return to its original state after ten minutes." Lu Nan looked at Jiang Hanyu standing beside him and said:
"If she's still outside the door in ten minutes..."
He didn't believe that this person wouldn't take action.
One is the umbrella family member he brought in, and the other is his own spouse. Isn't this man too confident that he can endure to this extent?
Lu Nan secretly guessed in his heart that he was not a man enough to endure and would not wait until that thing broke into the room before taking action.
If we really wait until that moment, it might be too late.
Jiang Hanyu glanced at him indifferently and said indifferently:
"Your brush isn't a disposable thing. Just reinforce it."
Lu Nan was stunned when he heard this. This person really didn't treat him as an outsider at all. He was just a pure tool.
Lu Nan was depressed, but there was nothing he could do. Now everyone was a grasshopper tied together, and there was no point in plotting against each other.
After almost ten minutes, the golden glow on the door gradually faded and the color was almost invisible.
But when they saw the white shadow still standing outside the door, their hearts sank.
"The ghost is still haunting me." Song Jingchen murmured.
Just when Lu Nan was about to take out his paintbrush, the ID card in his hand did not change at all.
"Why can't I use it?" Lu Nan looked at the blocked item bar on his game panel in disbelief.
Yitu frowned and looked to the left of the door, where there was a small patch of faint red.
It was Du Jinyu, her presence was all around.
"Du Jinyu can block player props, right?" Yi Tu looked at Jiang Hanyu.
Since he didn't have any props that could be used against NPCs, he didn't notice the changes in the game panel.
But Jiang Hanyu must have known it a long time ago, but with his strength, he didn't take it to heart.
The man's acquiescence made Lu Nan's face look particularly ugly.
In fact, they should have thought of it long ago. If Dong Haoyue could block players' skill cards, then how could Du Jinyu, who is also one of the important NPCs in this card field, not have any additional restrictions?
"One shielding skill card, one shielding item." Lu Nan wiped the sweat from his nose. "If these two things are present at the same time..."
They are almost no different from ordinary people and have no choice but to wait for death.
Before Lu Nan could finish his words, the white shadow waiting outside the door wanted to come in again in a hurry.
It hit the wooden door that could not bear the weight, and was about to tear a hole in it, and Dong Haoyue's face was completely exposed in front of several people.
It was the first time Yitu saw her face, a face that was completely unrecognizable and had almost a layer of skin eaten away.
Her mouth cracked open, and her scarlet eyes stared straight at Shao Feng who was huddled in the corner, letting out a terrifying roar.
However, just as she was about to crawl in, countless sharp black blades shot out in an instant.
The white figure was like a living target shot by countless sharp arrows. It twitched and wailed in the air, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
Lu Nan stared at the scene in a daze, and it took him a long time to react.
"You are not suppressed by the rules of the card field?" He looked at the tall and straight man standing next to Yitu, with shock that could not be concealed on his face.
Unless a man's weapon is of divine rank, he will not be suppressed by the rules of the intermediate card field.
Jiang Hanyu did not answer him, but instead looked at the red figure in the distance that had not left with his brown eyes.
"Why didn't they recognize each other?"
Yi Tu was stunned when he heard this.
Indeed, Dong Haoyue appeared here to look for Du Jinyu, and happened to hear what Shao Feng said.
And now Du Jinyu is there, why don’t they recognize each other?
"Could it be that the soul of a person will be trapped in a different space after death?" Yi Tu frowned and made a random guess.
At first they thought that Du Jinyu had never found Dong Haoyue simply because the two of them had never run into each other.
But now that I think about it, this possibility is extremely rare.
The Dong family's house is so small that Du Jinyu spent almost the entire night searching, and not just one night.
But she didn't find Dong Haoyue, and the same is true for Dong Haoyue now.
"If they can't meet, how can they keep the appointment?" Song Jingchen also asked.
No one could answer him. Du Jinyu stood in the rain and waited silently for a while before the red figure gradually disappeared.
When the rain had subsided a lot, they took Shao Feng back to the yard.
Since it is unclear how many people are needed for the wedding, the best way is to keep Shao Feng and Chu Sichi.
After they returned to the yard, Hailing and his female companion Huiyin were standing in the corridor talking. When they saw them coming back, they waved at them with a smile.
"It's raining heavily, and there's no servant to bring an umbrella." Hai Ling patted the water droplets on her body, "How did you bring him back?"
He was referring to Shao Feng, who was following closely behind him and was afraid of death.
"If I don't watch, I won't know how he died." Lu Nan was also helpless.
Shao Feng is a big trouble. As long as he is around, those two female ghosts will definitely haunt him.
"The weather is bad, it's going to rain soon." Yi Tu passed by Hai Ling and remembered something and asked:
"Where are Taishu and the others?"
Hai Ling stared at Yi Tu for a few seconds with a subtle expression, then said:
"The uncle thinks the same as you do. He's afraid something might happen to Chu Sichi, so he's keeping an eye on him at the Dong family."
"I don't know where the other two Bai guys are hanging out. If you want to know, go find them yourself."
Yitu nodded. Just as he raised his foot, Hailing suddenly spoke again:
"Your breath is so weak, you will die."
Yitu subconsciously looked up at him. Hailing shrugged and soon noticed another pair of eyes falling on him.
"That's right. Your man is here, he won't die anyway."
Yitu wanted to refute, but it was really difficult to open his mouth, so he was too lazy to talk to him.
They all returned to their rooms. Jiang Hanyu usually took a nap, while Yi Tu wanted to go back to the Dong family while the rain was not too heavy.
Jiang Hanyu didn't ask about his decision, but when Yi Tu left, the man looked up and glanced at his thin body.
"Take an umbrella and go again."
Yi Tu responded. Even if Jiang Hanyu didn't say anything, he would still leave with an umbrella.
Now his body was completely cold, and with a little rain on it, he looked almost the same as Du Jinyu's drowned ghost.
Yitu arrived at Dong's house as if he was familiar with the place. The yard was empty and there was no one in sight.
Since Taishu is watching Chu Sichi, there is a high probability that the two of them are in the Dong family's ancestral hall.
The only thing Du Jinyu couldn't enter was the Dong family's ancestral hall, and Dong Haoyue had no reason to kill Chu Sichi.
As for Bai Yan and Bai Yan, Yi Tu didn't consider them for the time being. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the main house first.
Mr. Dong's door was closed tightly. Yitu tried to push it, but it didn't work because it was locked from the inside.
Since I can't get in, I have no idea where to get the Taoist manual from the civet cat.
Yitu was a little disappointed, but this was within his expectations.
There is another place to go right now, and that is Dong Haoyue’s study.
If Madam Wang hadn't mentioned it, Yi Tu would never have noticed that there was anything mysterious in Dong Haoyue's study.
But this study room located behind the west wing carries most of Dong Haoyue and Du Jinyu's time and memories, and it will not leave no trace.
When Yi Tu came to the west wing, he happened to meet Bai Yan and Bai Yan.
I don’t know where these two people came from, but they both looked unhappy.
"Why are you here alone?" Bai Yan spoke first:
"Where's your spouse?"
"He went for a nap, so I came back to see Chu Sichi and take a walk," Yitu explained.
Bai Yan nodded in understanding, not knowing what she was thinking about. She was about to speak but stopped herself.
"Then you go shopping, we'll go back first."
After Bai Yan finished speaking, he took Bai Yan away.
Yi Tu looked at the backs of the two people leaving and couldn't help frowning.
Those two people who came to the west wing were probably heading for Dong Haoyue's study, but why did they look so strange?
Yitu thought about it and opened the card room owner interaction area.
Anonymous Player 975: The death rate at this card game is so low. There haven't been many deaths so far. So boring. (yawn.jpg)
Anonymous player 1021: The Hearts card game is supposed to be gentle. Isn't it hard to see people dying every day?
Anonymous player 329: It's not the right time yet. Mainly because they've all dispersed, and that boss has closed the interactive section, so I don't know who to look at...
Anonymous Player 65: Holy crap!!! I'm so scared! Damn, there's a ghost in Dong Haoyue's study!
Anonymous player 443: Hahahaha, were the people upstairs as scared as I was? Damn, I was scared too, it was so scary, as soon as I opened the door, there was a female ghost in white standing behind it!
Anonymous player 976;9494! The two Bai guys were also so scared that they didn't dare to go in (spreading hands.jpg)
Anonymous Player 462: It's okay to be cautious. Although the death rate in this card game isn't high, once you get caught, it's almost impossible to survive because you can't figure out the rules of the game. (pig whispers, pig sighs.jpg)
Anonymous player 957: These two people are stealing bamboo shoots without even telling our handsome boy. What if he gets caught?
Anonymous player 390: You're worrying too much. Your handsome boy should have received your warm reminder (slanting smile.jpg)
Anonymous Player 407: What a guy, hahaha, he actually knows how to peek at the screen!
Anonymous player 934: What's the big deal? Any smart player would do this. The existence of the interactive area in the card field is a bug in itself. I suggest that the game block players from viewing it.
Anonymous Player 487: ??? Are you seriously ill? Don't you want to drag everyone down with you?
There was a tendency for an argument to break out in the interactive area of the card room owner, but after Yitu saw the content he wanted, he closed the game panel.
It turned out that Bai Yan and Bai Yan were in Dong Haoyue's study and ran into the owner of the study.
Yitu stood at the door of the study, thought for a while and decided to push the door open and go in.
His body was already in this state. If he didn't give it a try, death would be inevitable.
Only when he opened the door did he realize how small Dong Haoyue's study was.
In addition to a desk for writing and a bookshelf full of books, there is also a soft couch for resting.
After Yitu saw the situation in the room clearly, he walked in cautiously.
He even carefully confirmed that there was nothing behind the door before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps because of the previous two people's trip, Dong Haoyue also left.
Yitu didn't have time to think. He quickly went to the desk and checked it carefully.
On the desk were placed normal writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as a few unfinished love stories with flower and butterfly bookmarks.
Yitu flipped through it and put it aside, thinking it was of little use.
There was nothing on the desk, so Yitu had to look for it on the bookshelf.
There were even more books on the bookshelf, and the books on the top three shelves were covered in dust. Yitu stood on tiptoe to take a look, and saw that they were all ancient Chinese texts that were difficult to understand.
On the bottom layer, Yitu saw an unsigned cowhide notebook.
He pulled out the cowhide notebook and the first page he opened was blank, but at the bottom was a line of small, beautiful handwriting.
A brief biography of Wang Yinfeng, narrated by Jin Yu and recorded by Hao Yue.
After seeing this Yitu, I had a general understanding in my mind. This cowhide notebook should record some strange stories about Du Jinyu's father Wang Yinfeng during his lifetime.
Mrs. Wang said that Du Jinyu liked to tell Dong Haoyue everything she knew.
But what he didn't expect was that Dong Haoyue actually took the trouble to write it all down.
Yitu then flipped down the page and saw Dong Haoyue write before the story began:
Wang Yinfeng was born in Hukou, and his cause of death is unknown. He had a daughter named Jinyu, and his beloved son had far-reaching plans for her. He encountered heaven's wrath, knowing his fate was unchangeable, a tragedy both tragic and painful.
The king had a book containing incantations and chants, which were mostly used in stories of strange phenomena and often had miraculous effects.
One day, the king went up the mountain to collect herbs and encountered a black-faced civet cat. The cat tried to please the civet cat and offered it food, which was a sign that the civet cat had become a spirit.
The king thought it was not easy, so he gave the monster some advice. The monster was very grateful and gave him another batch of fruits. After eating, the king felt sleepy, and when he woke up, the civet cat and the manual were both lost.
The king was so angry that he threw the fruit and went home to rewrite the spell. He saw his little girl playing nearby and pulled her over to teach her.
Now the king has passed away, and my daughter is already sixteen. I will never forget the mantras you taught me, and I will always remember your kindness in raising me.
I wrote this short biography to express my condolences.
After reading it, Yi Tu was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect that the Taoist manual stolen by the civet cat was actually the manual of Du Jinyu's father.
Doesn't that mean that Dong Haoyue's discovery of Madam Hui was probably due to Du Jinyu's secret help?
However, due to their marriage, Dong Haoyue was unable to find Du Jinyu again. This led to the fact that even though Dong Haoyue discovered Madam Hui's secret, she did not have the ability to take care of the civet cat and Madam Hui.
Originally, Du Jinyu had a way. She inherited most of her father's true teachings and should know the flaw in the spell that allowed the civet cat to survive without a heart.
But who knew that something went wrong and he ended up making things worse.
One thing led to another, which led to the scene where both of them died today.
Her father Wang Yinfeng had probably already calculated that Du Jinyu would die young.
Just because he wanted to change his fate, he was punished by God and his whereabouts are still unknown.
But he didn't expect that the civet cat he encountered that year was also a part of his daughter's fate.
Yitu then flipped through the pages, which recorded some interesting stories and anecdotes about Wang Yinfeng's travels during his youth.
Du Jinyu described it in great detail, and Dong Haoyue remembered it very clearly.
When the two talked about happy things, Du Jinyu also taught Dong Haoyue how to distinguish ghosts from ordinary people, and even explained the spells on it.
But Dong Haoyue had no foundation and could not understand it thoroughly. He did not remember the spell completely, but he wrote down the usage.
Yi Tu looked at it very carefully, trying to understand the spells that Dong Haoyue remembered, even though it was indeed difficult to understand.
He was sitting at the desk, so engrossed in what he was reading that he didn't even notice a white shadow behind him.
Until he felt an itch on his cheek and a wisp of twisted hair fell to his side.
Yitu's breath hitched, the thing was beside him.
However, before he could react, an extremely cold body pressed against his back.
Yitu was shocked and stood there, not daring to move at all.
The stinking smell of a rotting corpse spread in the air. Yitu had difficulty breathing, and the thing's hand, covered with corpse spots, reached out.
It took a pen from the pen holder and put it into Yitu's hand.
Yitu's whole body was stiff and he dared not move, but at this moment there was a pen in his hand.
He didn't know Dong Haoyue's intention, but he soon understood.
Dong Haoyue held his hand and taught him step by step, just like when he taught Du Jinyu to write in his lifetime.
Yi Tu looked at his hand that was held by Dong Haoyue, and with the brush without any ink, he wrote the first horizontal stroke on the dusty table.
A bright red horizontal line.
Yi Tu had a bad feeling in his heart that the character Dong Haoyue was teaching him might be a deadly one.
Sure enough, the next stroke was a stroke.
Seeing that the word "death" was about to take shape, Yitu could only use all his strength to fight it.
But how can human strength compare to that of a ghost? It seemed that in just a moment, the blood-red word "death" would be completed.
Yitu gritted his teeth and gripped the pen tightly. If he couldn't stop it, he would break the pen.
Click.
The brush finally broke as he wished, and Yitu felt relieved instantly, but the thing behind him was furious.
It attacked Yi Tu angrily, but Yi Tu barely dodged it and then rushed out of the study without a second thought.
If you don’t run now, when will you run?
However, when Yi Tu rushed out and saw the surrounding scene clearly, he was stunned for a moment.
It's reversed, everything is reversed.
The direction of the corridor is reversed, the order of the rooms is reversed, and even the placement of the flowers is reversed.
It's like the world reflected in a mirror.
Yitu only paused for a second, and the thing behind him followed closely.
Yitu had no choice but to run madly along the corridor.
This is the world where Dong Haoyue's ghost exists.
There is such a story in that cowhide notebook. The world of humans and ghosts are not connected because their entrances and exits are opposite.
In this way, ghosts cannot enter the human world, and humans will not mistakenly enter the ghost realm, unless they use external objects.
And now Dong Haoyue actually brought him in through that notebook. I'm afraid he will be strangled to death on the spot.
Yitu ran forward madly, with the cold aura behind him chasing him relentlessly like a maggot on his tarsal bone.
And he was still holding the cowhide notebook in his hand, which he had brought out casually when he was nervous.
Is there any way to break out of this hellhole? How on earth is he supposed to get out?
Yitu was extremely anxious, but he had no chance to stop and look at the booklet again.
Dong Haoyue's speed was even faster than he had imagined, and Yi Tu could only run for his life.
