Without those monsters with two faces, the weird atmosphere in the yard quickly faded away.
However, Chu Mu could feel that they were just lurking and not really disappearing.
"What should we do now?" Fan Ji asked Chu Mu for his opinion, "Should we go back or continue?"
Chu Mu didn't hesitate at all: "Go on, maybe if we go in now we can catch them off guard."
"That makes sense," Fan Ji transformed into Chu Chui, "Chu Chu's judgment is definitely not wrong."
"Don't give me that," Chu Mu was not fooled by the sugar-coated bullets at all. "In all the years I worked for you at the Quick Transmigration Bureau, I never got a clear idea of what kind of person you were."
"Alas," Chu Mu sighed, "I met the wrong person."
Fan Ji was most afraid of talking about the past, so he quickly changed the subject: "Let's get down from the tree and take a look. I think there's something strange about that well."
There is something strange in the well.
Because Chu Mu discovered that they could not get close to the edge of the well at all. They could see it clearly, but it was out of reach.
"Why is this?" Chu Mu found it difficult to understand. "The dragon energy in my body can suppress the evil spirits here, but I can't get close to the evil spirits' nest. This doesn't conform to the logic of the food chain."
Fan Ji thought for a moment and asked, "Should we go check out other parts of the yard first?"
"This is the only way." Chu Mu looked at the inaccessible well again and said unwillingly, "Just wait, I will definitely find a way to tear you down!"
…
The two started searching from the side rooms and worked their way to the main house in the main courtyard. In order not to alert the enemy, they were very cautious and did not dare to make any unnecessary noises.
As it turned out, their worries were completely unnecessary.
Because there was not a single living person in the huge Qi family compound.
Not only were there no living people, but there wasn't a single dead person in sight.
There was a coffin in the front lobby, which was exactly the one Chu Mu had seen in the dream.
Chu Mu reached out to push the coffin lid, but unexpectedly Fan Ji next to him got there first.
The man was very strong and used great force. With one palm strike, he lifted the coffin lid directly.
Chu Mu gave a thumbs up: "Amazing."
Fan Ji didn't hear the teasing in his words at all, and replied calmly, "Thank you."
Chu Mu shook his head in amusement - when it came to thick-skinnedness, he had never been a match for Fan Ji.
Chu Mu walked over to the coffin and looked inside: "Huh? Where's the fox?"
In the illusion he saw through Xiao Achu's jade, there was clearly a red fox's corpse lying in the coffin.
However, the coffin is now empty.
Chu Mu reached into the coffin and explored for a long time, and had to confirm with frustration that it was just an ordinary coffin without any mechanisms or traps.
"The two-faced ghost, the inaccessible well, the deserted house, the vanishing fox corpse... Ah, there's something inexplicably strange about this."
Fan Ji carefully checked every corner of the house, but still found nothing.
"Could it be that they no longer live in the Qi family compound?"
"I can't rule out this possibility," Chu Mu's eyebrows were almost twisted into a "chuan" character, "but I still can't figure it out. Since the Qi family went to so much trouble to build this tomb, they shouldn't abandon it easily. I tend to think that they are just leaving temporarily and should be back at night."
"Since we're here, we might as well wait here." Fan Ji was very cooperative.
——Nonsense, there is still an annoying Tartar when I go back... No, there is more than one, there are also men and women from the entire Qizhen Sect.
If Chu Mu knew that Fan Ji considered investigating the Qi family as part of his date, he would definitely not give half of the watermelon in his hand to him.
Chu Mu's storage backpack contained food, drinks, and an electric fan that was inconvenient to use in front of outsiders.
The temperature in the Qi family's house, which was set up as a tomb, was much lower than that of ordinary homes, especially in the main house facing the well. From time to time, one could feel a cool breeze blowing on the body.
This cool air is actually Yin energy, which is harmful to ordinary people, but Chu Mu and Fan Ji are not affected at all.
They even took out two folding chairs from their space backpacks and placed them at the main entrance.
In front is a well filled with yin energy, and in the back is a front hall arranged as a mourning hall, and there is also a large coffin that once contained the corpse of an unknown red fox.
Chu Mu ate a watermelon while feeling sleepy. "That's great! It's been a long time since I've enjoyed this kind of natural air conditioning. How about we get one in Qimen later?"
Fan Ji frowned, thinking seriously.
"Hey, you're not serious, are you?" Chu Mu couldn't help laughing. "Changing a Yang house into a Yin house will reduce your merits and shorten your lifespan. Even if we are not affected, there are still a lot of living people living over there. I'm not that wicked."
"...What does their life or death have to do with me?" Fan Ji curled his lips, his handsome brows showing indifference and coldness.
Chu Mu couldn't help but be amazed - how did such a guy who was evil from the inside out give the Lord God the impression of being a "compassionate" person?
After eating and drinking their fill and enduring a whole afternoon of gloomy wind, the two finally waited for the sun to set.
However, as the temperature dropped, the comfort level reached a new level, and Chu Mu couldn't help but start yawning.
Fan Ji looked at Chu Mu's eyelids that were about to droop with amusement, and said softly: "You should get some sleep first. It's only evening now, and there will be no movement until at least late at night."
Chu Mu wanted to hold his eyes open, but his eyelids were too weak to hold back and they closed automatically before he could even say "no".
Fan Ji looked at Chu Mu's sleeping posture for a while and thought: Is Chu Chu curling up her hands and feet because she is cold?
He moved over carefully, and then carefully squeezed in through the gap left by Chu Mu.
"Huh——" Fan Ji hugged Chu Mu's waist and felt relaxed all over.
…
Bang!
A sudden gong sound woke Chu Mu from his deep sleep.
He quickly stood up and found Fan Ji squatting by the door in the darkness.
Fan Ji's muscles were all in a completely tense state, which only occurred when facing a strong enemy.
Chu Mu's heart trembled, and he tiptoed closer.
As early as the moment Chu Mu woke up, Fan Ji sensed that he should turn around and give Chu Mu a smile.
However, at this moment, he didn't dare to move at all.
Because opposite him, there was also a "Fan Ji" squatting there. That thing was almost exactly the same as him. It imitated every movement of Fan Ji, even the angle of the eyeballs was the same.
If Fan Ji turned back, that thing would definitely see Chu Mu.
Fan Ji even had a premonition that it possessed the same ability as him.
What would happen if he attacked the other party at this time?
