"Strange! Is there someone here? Who lit these lanterns?" Dongzi walked to a house and looked up at the lantern carefully.
"The frame of this lantern is made of red coral, so it's worth a lot of money. If we take one back, we'll probably be rich!" Dongzi said in wonder.
"You brat, if you don't care about your life, just try to touch the things here!" Bai Yao slapped Dongzi on the back of the head.
Dongzi knew that he had said the wrong thing, "Hey hey" he laughed twice, rubbed his head and said: "I have a lot to say! Hu Ling has told me a long time ago that everyone's wealth is closely related to their destiny. Forcing
No."
Bai Yao snorted coldly and said nothing.
The surroundings were very quiet. Sean squatted aside and looked around cautiously. There were lanterns hanging at the entrance of each courtyard, and the whole street was illuminated brightly.
"This place is wrong. Professor Zhang told us that Zheng Wenlang got the seal from the top of a pillar. This doesn't look like a place to put the seal." Lu Xiaohong looked at me and said, "I think,
Uncle Xiao probably came in to find out about the whereabouts of the seal."
I nodded, looked at Bai Yao and Hao Jingde, and asked for their opinions.
"How about we go in and take a look first? Maybe Master Xiao Tian will leave some useful clues inside?" Hao Jingde said.
"There won't be any clues in these houses, and no one has ever entered them!" Bai Yao said.
I looked at him in surprise, "How do you know?"
"The names of these lanterns are "House Keeper's Spirit Lanterns". They use shark oil as fuel. Each house keeper's spirit lantern has the souls of three sharks trapped in it. If someone breaks in, the house keeper's spirit lantern will be destroyed.
The lights will go out, and the three shark souls trapped inside will come out to hunt the intruders until they die," Bai Yao said.
"So, the lantern is still on, which means no one has ever gone in!" I nodded clearly, "That's easy. It seems like there should be such shark oil lamps hanging everywhere here. If you see any
Once the lights go out, we will definitely find clues when we go in!"
Bai Yao nodded.#@$&
While they were discussing, there was a slight noise coming from somewhere, a bit like the rustling sound of people walking.
Sean rushed over alertly.
"Let's go, follow us!" Bai Yao said.
We raised our feet and followed.
Running on the stone road is not strenuous. In addition, we all have the support of internal strength. We only need to use our toes to borrow force on the stone road, and we can run very far in one go.%&(&
Although Dongzi couldn't remember the formulas taught to him by Hao Jingde, he found some ways to control the air after the battle with the stone figurines, and he ran no slower than us.
It's just that Lian Ruowei's speed was a little slower, and Dongzi didn't want to let her get hurt, so he simply carried her on his back. In this way, we followed Sean, and no one fell behind.
Sean's running figure can be seen in the distance.
I vaguely saw that Sean was chasing someone, a figure wearing a black robe.
The man was very tall, with his loose robes flying high, and his back looked vaguely like my father, Xiao Han.
But within a few ups and downs, the man disappeared.
The streets are not wide but very long and winding, giving me the feeling that they are going in a big circle around the city.
After running for who knows how long, when even Bai Yao's breathing became a little heavy, Sean finally stopped.
What appeared in front of us was an octagonal stone tower.
On each raised eaves of the stone tower was a lantern for guarding the house, but none of the lanterns was on.
In front of the stone tower is a huge square, also paved with bluestone slabs. There are no people around, and there is no movement at all.
Sean squatted in front of the tower, tilting his head and staring at the stone tower motionless, as if thinking about something.
Thinking of the figure I vaguely saw from behind, and thinking that there might be clues left by my father in the stone tower, I raised my feet and walked forward.
Lu Xiaohong and Bai Yao grabbed me at the same time. Lu Xiaohong looked at me and said: "Ling'er, let's look around first and don't act rashly. If what Sean saw is really Uncle Xiao, he will definitely not do anything when he meets us."
Will run."
I looked at Lu Xiaohong: "You also saw that that man looks like my father, right?"
Lu Xiaohong nodded: "The back does look like Uncle Xiao, but I'm sure it's not him. His appearance is just to lead us here. It's not clear whether he is an enemy or a friend, so be careful!"
I nodded and walked to Sean and stopped.
Lu Xiaohong also followed and stood beside me.
When Sean heard the movement, he looked back at us and hummed in his throat.
"Sean, did you just see that man's face? Is it my dad?" I knelt down and asked Sean.
Sean looked at me with a confused expression on his face, nodded and shook his head.
I was also a little confused by Sean's reaction. Did it really see my dad just now, but why did it shake its head again?
Subconsciously, I turned to look at Lu Xiaohong, who was also looking at Sean. When he saw Sean's reaction, he was as confused as me.
After we looked at each other, Lu Xiaohong patted Sean's head and asked Sean hesitantly: "The person you met looks like Hu Ling's father, but he is not her father, right?"
This time, Sean also showed a look of realization and nodded.
"That person went in?" Lu Xiaohong asked Sean again.
Sean nodded.
Bai Yao and the others also followed, and Lu Xiaohong told them the situation.
"Hu Ling, could it be that there is really Uncle Xiao inside, but he lost his memory after coming to this place, so he doesn't recognize us?" Dongzi suddenly asked.
His words made us stunned and collectively speechless.
This idea is novel, but unlikely.
Bai Yao rolled his eyes, glanced at me and Lu Xiaohong and said, "What do you think? Someone must have entered this tower. All eight guardian lamps were extinguished. Eight lamps, twenty-four sharks."
Soul."
"Xiaohong, why don't we go in and have a look? No matter what, but since he looks so similar to my father, I always feel uneasy." I looked at Lu Xiaohong and said.
"The souls of the sharks are more difficult to deal with than when the sharks are alive. They must live in the water before death, but after death they have almost no restrictions." Bai Yao said: "I can deal with up to four by myself, and twenty.
Four of us, maybe we’ll all have to stay here together.”
I was a little embarrassed, so I turned to look at Hao Jingde, Dongzi, and Ruowei, and said, "Uncle Hao, take Dongzi and Ruowei to other places to look for clues first, and we'll meet here again in two hours."
.”
Hao Jingde shook his head, "Since I'm here, I'll be with you. Dongzi, take Ruowei and go somewhere else first!"
"I have to go with you, I will definitely not leave!" Dongzi also said, looking at Lian Ruowei with some embarrassment.
"I'm not leaving either!" Lian Ruowei said firmly.
At this moment, the door of the stone tower behind us suddenly opened slowly with a "squeak", and there was a person standing faintly at the door. This chapter has been completed!
