Luo Fengtang didn't ask any more questions. Following Yang Ruoqing's arrangement, he left two secret guards behind. Then he took six secret guards with him and went down to the second floor of the teahouse with Yang Ruoqing.

While walking down the stairs, Yang Ruoqing used her senses to scan the other customers near the teahouse, trying to spot anyone acting suspiciously.

As of now, no abnormalities have been found in the teahouse.

"Qing'er, has something happened?" Luo Fengtang asked in a deep voice.

Yang Ruoqing originally didn't want to tell Luo Fengtang about what happened in Yingjiang Temple, because that was just her own feeling after all. But now Sun and the others haven't come back for half an hour, and the bad feeling from before has become stronger in Yang Ruoqing's heart.

"…Before at Yingjiang Temple, an old monk and a young monk were particularly enthusiastic when they saw the incense money we bought."

"My sixth sense as a woman tells me that there is something fishy about my mother and her friends' disappearance. It is very likely related to those two monks!"

"What are the names of those two monks?"

"I'm not sure which one of the younger ones is the disciple. The older one is called Wang Chen."

Luo Fengtang called a secret guard over and whispered something. The secret guard nodded and turned away.

Luo Fengtang pointed at three of the remaining five secret guards and said, "You three, protect the madam."

"You two, follow me!"

"Yes!"

Just like that, the couple went their separate ways, each searching in the East and West streets.

……

At this time, in a room in the backyard of an abandoned yard at the end of West Street, He Lian'er woke up quietly.

When she opened her eyes, her vision was still blurry, she saw a face right next to hers, staring at her.

Seeing that she woke up, the face gave her a weird smile, laughed "hehe", and jumped aside.

A furry, tail-like thing swept across He Lian'er's face, and He Lian'er suddenly woke up completely.

She found herself in a strange house. The light was dim and the surroundings were dilapidated. There was a spirit-calling coil pasted on the crossbar and a long knotted rope hanging from it.

The rope was swinging as if someone was hanging on it, swinging on a swing.

The wall in front of my sight is lined with shrines.

In the shrine, there was a tablet that had turned black from the smell of incense. The tablet was tilted all over the place and some had fallen to the ground.

On the ground... the dark ground was covered with paper money, a broken clay pot, incense ash spilled out of the pot, and half-burned incense sticks...

"what……"

He Lian'er was so scared that she held her head with both hands and screamed subconsciously.

The scream woke up the other two people in the corner.

The two people were Ms. Sun and Ms. He who were lying side by side.

The two of them had been unconscious like He Lian'er before, and only woke up at this moment. Seeing everything in front of them, they were both confused.

When He Lian'er saw her mother and mother-in-law, she felt like she had seen her saviors. She quickly crawled to them and hugged them tightly.

"Mother, mother-in-law!"

At this time, He and Sun also saw clearly where they were. They were so scared that they turned pale. The three of them hugged each other tightly and trembled!

Not to mention He Lian'er, He and Sun were both more timid than each other.

Especially Sun. She is almost gutless.

If He and He Lian'er were not together, and there was only Sun alone, I'm afraid Sun would not need to tremble now.

Because she would be frightened and faint again, and if she woke up again, she would be frightened and faint again, and this cycle would repeat over and over again. If she couldn't wait for someone to rescue her, she would probably suffer a mental breakdown in the end.

But now, Gaodi had two companions by her side, so Sun managed to hold on and not faint, especially He Lianer.

He Lian'er is her daughter-in-law, and Sun continues to hold on with the intention of protecting the younger generation.

As for He's mother, the same goes for her. Although women are weak, they are strong when they become mothers!

So among the three, He Lian'er's situation was the least optimistic. This was probably because she was the first to wake up, saw that strange masked face, and had a furry tail brush across her cheek...

He's mother was the first to regain her sanity and calm herself down a little.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother is here!"

But this has no effect at all.

He's mother looked around, and when her eyes fell on the shrines and the noose for hanging, she couldn't help but shudder.

But she still said to Sun and He Lian'er: "Let's find a way to leave here first!"

Sun nodded, and the two of them stood up tremblingly and went together to pull up He Lian'er, who was kneeling on the ground with her head in her hands, her whole body almost limp.

The three of them walked out together.

The legs of Mrs. He and Mrs. Sun were trembling. He Lian'er's legs were so stiff that she couldn't even walk. She had to be supported by Mrs. Sun before she could walk.

In addition, there were many overturned tables and chairs on the ground. Some of the long benches were used to hold coffins during funerals. There were even traces of peeling red paint and incense ash on the benches...

The three of them stumbled and walked with difficulty, just a few steps from the corner to the door.

When they were about to reach the door, a gust of wind blew and slammed the half-open door shut.

The three of them were so frightened that they stood there in a daze, screaming at the same time.

The door was slammed shut by the wind, and the light in the room became dimmer.

At the shrine behind them, a little red fire suddenly lit up, and various laughter sounds could be heard faintly.

The sounds were chaotic and vague, as if a lot more people suddenly appeared in the room, with people everywhere, and some even came up to the three of them or pulled their ankles.

The three of them screamed in fear and stomped their feet subconsciously and without any reason.

A person in white clothes was hanging on the noose that was originally hanging under the roof.

It was hard to tell whether the person was a man or a woman. His hair was very long, hanging down to his chest and covering his face.

The man's tongue was also very long. He was barefoot and hanging under the beam, swinging back and forth.

Sun and the other three were jostled by the invisible figures in the room. They stamped their feet frantically and suddenly felt something hit them on the head.

When I looked up, I saw the man hanging under the beam.

Suddenly, among the three, Sun and He Lian'er both fainted with their eyes rolled back.

Although He's mother did not faint, she was so frightened that she looked unrecognizable. She ran on the ground using her hands and feet, hid in the corner, hugged her head, and the cries in her throat were distorted by fear!

Until the door was kicked open and the dazzling afternoon sun shone in through the doorway, all the noise in the house came to an abrupt end, leaving only the empty rope loop on the beam still swaying gently in the wind, as if someone had been swinging on it not long ago.
