No longer able to heed Lu Xiaohong's previous warning, I got up from the bed, put on my shoes, and opened the door.
The lights in the main room were on, the door was ajar, and there was no one in the room.
"Brother Lu! Lu Xiaohong!" I called Lu Xiaohong's name. I don't know if it was because I always thought he was that person. I had an inexplicable trust in him.
If Xia Xiaobei is really missing, he might know something. It would be much better for two of us to search together than for me to wander around alone.
But after shouting for a long time, Lu Xiaohong did not appear, and even his voice did not come from any corner of the room.
Unable to think too much, I raised my hand to knock on the door of the room opposite us. The door made a soft "squeak" sound as I moved and opened a crack. The layout inside was the same as our room, except for one.
There was a bed and a chair, but no one was there, but judging from the creases in the sheets, someone must have slept in this room.
I thought about it and walked into the inner room again. The inner room was a kitchen with a stove made of blue bricks, a stoneware water tank next to the stove, an old-colored cabinet, and a chopping board. On the chopping board, there were only some simple kitchen utensils.
There is nothing outside.
Still no one.
I was about to turn around and leave when I suddenly heard an almost inaudible "dong dong" sound, like someone gently knocking on the door.
The sound came from the side wall of the kitchen.
I followed the sound and found that there was a door ajar on the side of the kitchen. The knocking sound came from that door.
"Dong dong dong" Three more knocks came from the door, this time the sound was obviously much louder.
"Xia Xiaobei?" I slowly walked towards the door and called Xia Xiaobei's name, but no one responded.
"Brother Lu?" I shouted again, but there was still no sound.#@$&
"Dong dong dong dong, dong dong." The sound of knocking on the door suddenly became louder and more urgent than before, and the sound was also much louder.
Inexplicable fear suddenly surrounded me. I put my hand into my pocket and held the dragon scale dagger tightly.
When I reached the door, the knocking suddenly stopped.
"Who? Who's in there?" I asked bravely. I heard my voice trembling slightly, but still no one answered me.
I stretched out my hand and pushed it gently, and with a "squeak" sound, the door opened. With the dim light in the kitchen, I looked into the house.%&(&
With just one glance, I felt like my brain was exploding. My hair almost stood on end, and cold sweat suddenly poured out of my back.
This is an empty room. In the middle of the room, there are two benches. On the benches, there is a dark coffin.
Thinking of Xia Xiaobei, I resisted the urge to turn around and run away, and slowly walked towards the coffin.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong." The knocking on the door rang loudly again, each sound faster than the other. Only then did I realize to my horror that the sound was not the knocking on the door, but the sound of knocking on the coffin board.
There's someone in the coffin!
"Xia Xiaobei! Is that you?" I called Xia Xiaobei's name and slowly walked towards the coffin.
"Dong dong, dong dong dong." The people in the coffin knocked on the coffin board more and more violently, and the whole coffin began to shake slightly.
"What are you doing?" A cold voice suddenly sounded behind me, and I was so frightened that I almost screamed.
When I turned around, I saw Lu Xiaohong standing behind me, looking at me coldly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and his tight thin lips showing patience and anger.
Following his voice, the movement in the coffin suddenly stopped.
"I -" I was a little nervous and incoherent due to his gaze, "Xia Xiaobei is missing, in the coffin."
"It's not her there!" Lu Xiaohong said coldly.
"But, she -" I looked at Lu Xiaohong nervously, not knowing how to express the fear and worry in my heart.
"You go back to your room and stay there, I will find her back!" Lu Xiaohong said coldly, turned around and walked out the door.
I looked at the dark and strange coffin, "But maybe she is inside. There is someone inside. You should have heard it, right?"
"I told you it's not her there!" Lu Xiaohong said coldly, "This is not a place where you can take risks. One of you is a Chuma Immortal, and the other is a third-grade Huang-level psychic. You all know a little bit about some things, right?
Do you need me to say more?"
I was stunned. I didn't expect that he knew our details very clearly. I was speechless for a moment, so I could only look at the coffin angrily and followed him out.
Walking out of the kitchen, I looked at Lu Xiaohong's cold back and asked, "Can I go find her with you? I'm not too worried -"
"If I were a bad guy, do you think you could still stand here okay?" Lu Xiaohong turned around and looked at me coldly, "If I had known you were so rude and liked to wander around, I shouldn't have taken you with me.
return!"
After saying that, he stopped looking at me, turned around and walked out the door.
I just felt a soreness in my nose, and a feeling of grievance arose spontaneously.
"Lu Xiaohong, although you helped us, you have no right to treat us like this! If you think we will become your trouble, you don't have to bring us back. Xia Xiaobei didn't listen to you and ran out. It's hers
No, but her curiosity was all sparked by you. If you hadn't been so precious with your words and unwilling to explain anything, would she have been so curious? You have to know, she is just a nineteen-year-old child!"
I yelled at his back angrily.
I think I must be crazy. Now that Xia Xiaobei's whereabouts are unknown, I still get angry at him. What if he lets her go? What will Xia Xiaobei do? Where should I find her?
Lu Xiaohong paused for a long time before slowly turning around, his eyes full of cold light, "Haha, nineteen years old, kid? If you think you are still a kid, why did you go to Jiming Village? Why are you wearing it?
Do you have the aura of death that only exists in tombs? If one of you doesn’t have the aura of Mrs. Hu’s wife and the other has the light of merit, do you think I will be full and care about your life and death?”
His words immediately shocked me. Although I had long thought that Lu Xiaohong was a member of Xuanmen, I didn't expect that he could clearly see the light of merit in me and the origin of the Immortal in Xia Xiaobei at a glance.
Heavenly Master Xiao Han once told me that because I have yin and yang tribulations in my body, my merits are not obvious. Only those who are above the ninth level of the earth can faintly see them. And it is even more obvious to see the origin of Ma Xian.
It's not an easy thing. Chuma Immortals usually hide their aura and won't show the slightest trace on mortals, let alone an immortal like Hu Santai.
Although my heart was already turned upside down, I still looked at Lu Xiaohong stubbornly and had no intention of going back to the house alone to wait.
Lu Xiaohong also looked at me coldly, their eyes facing each other, and no one wanted to give in.
I don't know how long it took, but Lu Xiaohong finally sighed, looked away from me, turned around and strode out, and I followed him at a trot without hesitation. This chapter has been completed!
