"You idiot, take good care of it. When the little stick mansion is ready, send it to your house!"
"Yes, yes, I will do as you say!"
With the young chief priest nodding and bowing to see them off, the Sixth Prince and Xing Bang rode away on horseback...
Xing Bang naturally had no objection to the Sixth Prince's approach. The mansion was short of maids anyway, and Cuihong and Qingmei were naturally suitable candidates. Moreover, the two girls were proficient in playing all kinds of musical instruments and singing.
Xia Changqing also went along, but he had already arranged for his men to go back and call for help. He also specifically asked them to bring more people and have them be skilled.
The cultivation base of the soldiers in Shuntian Prefecture is generally not very high, and it is good enough to have a few who have reached the Wuxuan realm.
Xing Bang didn't care about these things. If they wanted to follow, they could follow. He didn't believe in ghosts.
There was no need to visit the He Mansion, as it was one of the best houses in the capital. Besides, Xing Bang was not planning to choose that place, so the group went directly to Nangong Xue's previous home.
Rumors are really powerful. The area around the so-called haunted house is very deserted. If you see any pedestrians, they just walk by in a hurry. It's like this in broad daylight, and there will probably be no one around at night.
The door was also sealed, and it looked old and dilapidated after being untouched for a long time. It was indeed a little eerie...
Although the Sixth Prince was very curious, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. He didn't dare to step forward and urged Xia Changqing behind him, "Go in!"
Xia Changqing got off his horse. He was also terrified. "You two, go and open the door!"
The two soldiers had no one to order them anymore, so they walked towards the gate tremblingly...
Xing Bang shook his head, thinking what a bunch of ignorant people they were. He jumped off his horse, walked quickly forward, and with a little effort the door opened.
call!
Everyone sighed subconsciously...
"You are a bunch of rubbish, look how scared I am of you!"
Liu Jing jumped off his horse and walked up to Xing Bang, cursing him to show that he was not afraid at all.
"Your Highness, follow me closely, let's go in and take a look!"
Xing Bang didn't care about the others and looked like he was going to explore. Liu Jing followed closely behind him, and the two of them went in first.
At this time, the people that Xia Changqing had transferred also arrived, and they immediately gained a lot of confidence, shouting at the top of their voices:
"You bunch of useless people, what are you doing standing there? Go in and protect the Sixth Prince and Eunuch Xing."
Then, a group of soldiers filed in, and Xia Changqing quickly ran a few steps to catch up with the Sixth Prince...
"Your Highness, Eunuch Xing, don't worry and watch it boldly. With me here, nothing will happen!"
Xia Changqing plucked up the courage to start flattering and bragging.
However, except for Xing Bang, everyone was a little nervous and no one had time to pay attention to him.
The courtyard is in a mess when you enter it. It is like this in a courtyard that has not been inhabited for a long time. At first glance, it has a haunted atmosphere.
I walked into the reception hall first. The tables and chairs were all tilted, the floor was covered with dust, and there were many spider webs, but the house seemed generally solid.
"Your Highness, this place is extremely dirty and there is no place to step. Should we not go in?"
After just a glance at the door, Xia Changqing quickly spoke.
Liu Jing looked at Xing Bang...
"Your Highness, Lord Xia is right, there is no need to go in and take a look!"
"Okay, this room needs cleaning, and there's nothing to see, so let's just walk around and take a look at the overall layout."
Xing Bang hadn't planned to go in at first, so the group went to the second courtyard.
"This house covers an area of nearly twenty acres. If it weren't haunted, it would be a really great house!"
My goodness, a mansion with five entrances, is this a joke?
Pavilions, towers, rockery, pools...
It has everything you need, and with a group of beauties by your side, it's so comfortable even to lie down!
We didn’t even go into the house to see it. Finally, we came to the large garden in the backyard. It was very exquisite, with pavilions and waterside pavilions, but it was overgrown with weeds…
As soon as Xing Bang stepped into the back garden, he couldn't help but frowned slightly. His sensitive sense of smell sensed something different. Although other places were deserted and eerie, the spiritual senses here were different. The air was filled with a dead air, and he could faintly smell the odor of rotting corpses.
"Your Highness, please be careful where you step. It's so dirty here. Don't let any snakes or rats scare you."
People like Xia Changqing must have subconsciously felt the creepiness and naturally didn't want to go in.
"Master Xia, I feel that there is something strange about this house. Let your people go in and investigate thoroughly."
"Your Highness, just follow me..."
Since Xing Bang discovered the abnormality, he would definitely not leave. His purpose of coming here was to see what was going on.
"I also feel that this place is weird. It's okay, little stick, let's just go in."
Although Liu Jing felt a little scared, he was more curious. How could he just leave like that?
Since the Sixth Prince said so, Xia Changqing looked helpless and had to arrange people to do it.
Then, the soldiers began to enter the back garden one after another, drawing their swords. Like engineers digging mines, they crouched down and used their swords to cut the weeds in front of them before moving forward.
Xing Bang was speechless. Why were they still advancing step by step in their carpet search?
He shook his head and walked straight forward, followed by the Sixth Prince and Xia Changqing.
The further you go in, the thicker the smell of corpses becomes. However, ordinary people or people with low cultivation levels cannot smell it, just like how masters can sense murderous intent. It's the same principle!
Xing Bang followed the breath and moved forward slowly. Although the Sixth Prince followed closely, his attention was all on his feet. He was really disgusted by snakes, rats, insects and the like. Xia Changqing didn't understand Xing Bang's intention, but followed helplessly with a worried look on his face.
Not long after.
Xing Bang stopped when he came to an area covered with overgrown weeds.
"Come here, some people, cut down these weeds and trees..."
"Little Stick, did you find something? Hey, the weeds here are so tall and lush."
"Yes, it's dark and thick, it looks like this land is more fertile than other places!"
The Sixth Prince and Xia Changqing both frowned and stared at the area in front of Xing Bang...
Xing Bang thought, not to mention the aura he felt, even such an abnormality was worthy of suspicion.
In response to his summons, seven or eight soldiers rushed over and began to clear the obstacles with knives according to Xing Bang's instructions...
It was a large area and so densely overgrown that you couldn't see what was on the ground.
After a while, there was a clang and a soldier shouted, "There seems to be a stone here..."
The area next to it was cleared and there was a large stone embedded in the ground.
"Move the rock away. There might be something underneath."
Xing Bang quickly instructed that the smell of corpse decay was the strongest in this area...
