The knuckles of his fingers rapped on the copper-red door, and the sound echoed.
Han Feng and others stood in front of the gate, surrounded by gloomy woods. It was clearly daytime but it was very gloomy.
"Why didn't anyone open the door? Isn't it another trap?"
Meng Yuqi looked around, looking a little scared.
The shadow of being kidnapped in a black shop during the last mission was still there, and this girl was very careful along the way this time.
Gu Yunzhou shook his head and said:
"No, Mr. Qilian was once a high official in the imperial court. After he resigned and returned home, he took his family to the mountains and built the Qilian Villa. As a Confucian, how can he be used by heretics?"
While he was talking, the door of the villa opened with a creak.
An old servant with white hair and a pale and gloomy face, dressed in blue-gray clothes, stood behind the door.
After looking at everyone in Han Feng, the old servant said: "You must be the Si Wei adults from the Xuanjian Division who came to protect the master. The old servant Song Qian has been appointed as the steward of the mansion."
With that said, the old housekeeper turned around and led everyone into the villa.
"Everyone, please follow me."
Han Feng and his group of seven walked into the manor.
Entering the gate is a garden of flowers and plants, in which strange flowers and rocks are elegantly arranged. After walking through a few corridors and pavilions, you arrive at a hall by the lake.
The housekeeper led everyone into the lobby, where an old man with extraordinary bearing was already sitting in front of the screen in the center of the lobby.
"Sir, the adults from the Hanging Sword Division are here."
The old man nodded and ordered:
"I got it. Call Yutang, Jinluo, Yinping, Yinshuang and others. Also call Master Songyue and others."
The butler nodded and left.
Guo Qinhan led Han Feng and others to the old man and bowed to him: "Commander Xuanjian, Guo Qinhan joins hands with the commander of the guards and has met Lord Qilian."
Qilian Anguo used to be an important member of the court. Even though he has resigned and returned to his hometown now, he is still quite famous in the court and outside the country. This is why an incident in Qilian Villa now even triggers the protection of the Xuanjian Division.
Qilian Anguo extended his hand to invite everyone, and said to everyone: "I have resigned from my post a long time ago, and I am afraid that I cannot be called a lord. But the Lords Wei of the Xuanjian Division came to rescue me, Qilian Villa, which really makes Qilian Anguo Ming feel...
The emperor’s grace is vast.”
Everyone sat down.
Han Feng kept feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere in Qilian Villa, so he asked first:
"Lord Qilian, what exactly happened in this villa? That you had to inform the Xuanjian Division."
"Oh, I feel ashamed to say that."
Qilian Anguo sighed and slowly said to everyone:
"Since I left the capital that year, I have come to live in this mountain. I have purchased property and houses with my salary over the years, and my life is quite peaceful. Although I have three sons, although they are not useful, they are not bad people of moral character.
But after my second son Jingli took his wife, strange things often happened in this villa. Servants often reported that livestock and poultry in the mansion died for no reason, and there were even servants missing.
I was struggling with this matter but had no clues. Until one night, I felt restless and was walking in the mansion. I actually discovered that my second daughter-in-law was killing the servants in the mansion and performing evil sacrifices of the Tianli Sect!
My daughter-in-law saw me breaking into her possessions and wanted to kill me to silence her. Fortunately, I had a fourth daughter who was a student of Qingtian Sword Sect. She happened to be at home and killed the woman.
But starting from that night, there were frequent ghosts in the house, and servants often encountered ghosts. My married wife also contracted some strange disease, and she has been seriously ill in bed for more than half a month. I had no choice but to ask the court.
help……"
The old man sighed as he spoke.
After listening to the old man's words, Han Feng's brain began to work quickly to analyze the information.
Gu Yunzhou spoke at this time:
"Mr. Qilian, your second son and your second daughter-in-law are together day and night. Have you never discovered her identity as a member of the Tianli Sect?"
Qilian Anguo shook his head:
"My three sons are all like me. Although they uphold Confucianism, they do not practice martial arts. Quanzi Jinliu only has an ordinary physique and cannot resist the evil spells of the Tianli Sect of that woman. How can we discover her abnormality?"
Gu Yunzhou nodded, not sure whether he believed it or not.
At this moment, there was a sound from outside the hall, and three men in rich clothes walked in.
Qilian Anguo's eldest son, Qi Lian Yutang, who was about thirty years old, with sharp eyebrows and a serious expression, led his wife in first.
The second son, Qilian Jinliu, was nearly thirty years old. He looked haggard and looked haggard. He was obviously still immersed in the pain of his wife being a demon.
The third son, Qilian Yinping, is twenty years old. He looks youthful, but he is in a state of panic and confusion.
Qilian Yutang nodded to Han Feng and everyone, and then bowed respectfully to Qilian Anguo: "Father, are you looking for us?"
Qilian Anguo nodded and said:
"That's right, these are all adults from the Xuanjian Division. They are here to help us solve the strange things in the mansion."
At this time, everyone in Han Feng stood up and greeted Qi Lian Yutang and others.
Qilian Yutang sat down with his wife and two sons, and said to Han Feng and others:
"It is embarrassing to talk about this matter. This kind of thing happened to our Qilian family. But if we really talk about the ghosts and ghosts in the house now, I speculate that it is probably caused by the resentment after the death of the second sister. As a member of the Tianli cult, she died.
It makes sense that Hou Neng would have some evil skills."
While Han Feng was speaking in Qilian Yutang, he carefully looked at the people in front of him and found that whether it was Qilian Yutang and his wife, Qilian Jinliu or even Qilian Yinping, they all gave people a faint sense of discomfort. This feeling was like seeing those people in the hospital.
Like a patient who has been ill for a long time.
Gu Yunzhou took Qi Lian Yutang's words and asked: "So, can the eldest young master take us to see the place where the second young lady committed the crime?"
Qilian Yutang nodded, and just as he was about to send someone to take Han Feng and the others there, another voice came from outside the door:
"Mr. Qilian, there are people like us in this house, why did you call the eagle dogs from the Xuanjian Division?"
Saying disgusting words in a rough voice, a strong man walked in with a beard as thick and hard as a steel needle.
A gentle monk wearing gray robes followed closely behind, and next to him was a young man holding a silver sword.
Meng Yuqi was furious after hearing what this strong man said. She waited for him angrily and said angrily: "You are so ignorant! I think you are rude when you scold a hawk in front of us."
The stinking beggar!”
"Hey, you yellow-haired girl!"
The strong man suddenly became anxious and stepped forward to tell Meng Yuqi.
Zhang Lie stood in front of Meng Yuqi silently, using his palms to conceal his destiny.
When the two sides were about to clash, a girl with white clothes and silver-bordered hair came over and stood in the middle, bowed slightly to the strong man and said:
"Brother Xu, please don't embarrass my guests."
After saying that, he turned around and bowed to Zhang Lie: "Masters of the Xuanjian Division, please don't be angry. After all, people in the world have been at odds with the Xuanjian Division for a long time, and Brother Xu just said the wrong thing for a moment.
"
"Brother Xu" snorted and stepped back.
Everyone in the Xuanjian Division remained silent.
On the surface, this woman seems to be calming things down, but in fact, her position is based on the person she calls the Jianghu.
Qi Lian Anguo noticed the awkwardness in the atmosphere, so he coughed and said to Han Feng and the others: "This is the little girl Qi Lian Yinshuang. She has been studying at Qingtian Sword Sect since she was a child. These few people also heard about what happened in the mansion.
People from the world who came to help: [Golden Back Sword] Xu Youdao, [Jade Dragon Sword] Lin Shaohua, and Zen Master Songyue from Bizhong Temple."
After saying that, Qilian Anguo said to Qilian Yinshuang:
"Yinshuang, you can take everyone from the Xuanjian Division to the backyard to check it out."
Qilian Yinshuang nodded, bowed to Han Feng and others, clasped his fists, and led them out of the hall and towards the backyard.
Han Feng followed the crowd, and the [Zixia Secret Book] was constantly running in his body... This villa has always given him a very strange feeling.
The danger factor of the Hanging Sword Division is also really high. The first mission I took on was in a battle between two evil sects. The second mission this time was also extremely evil and terrifying...
