Shenwu Batian Jue

Chapter 94

Su Yan teased lightly, which relieved Lingmeng's nervousness a lot, and the two came to Yinlingyuan after talking and laughing for a while.

It's very quiet here, it can even be said to be very quiet, so quiet that it makes people feel a little weird.

From time to time in the courtyard, we could see miscellaneous disciples walking around, but everyone was busy with their own affairs, and there was no sound of conversation.

Lingmeng Dai frowned slightly, stood outside the courtyard door and carefully looked at the scene inside, and said in a low voice: "This courtyard makes people feel weird, even the people inside are a little weird..."
Su Yan didn't speak, but looked around the courtyard for a moment.

There are two courtyards in this Yinlingyuan, which are divided into the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard.

The outer courtyard is very bright, all the trees have been cut down, and only one-meter-high stakes remain.The inner courtyard is just the opposite, where the trees are very lush, and the branches and leaves spread out, covering almost half of the courtyard in the shade of trees.

"New here?" A miscellaneous disciple passed by and happened to see Su Yan and Lingmeng.

Su Yan nodded in response, the disciple remained silent for a few seconds, his gaze stayed on Lingmeng's face for a few seconds, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.He turned to look at the inner courtyard, his expression full of fear: "Since you are new here, I kindly remind you, don't even set foot in the inner courtyard."
"Why is this? Could it be that there is something terrifying in the inner courtyard?" Su Yan pretended not to understand, and looked at him suspiciously.

"Junior brother, you just came here, and some things are still unclear. The inner courtyard is really scary..." The disciple looked around cautiously, then pulled Su Yan aside, and said in a low voice: " The inner courtyard is a restricted area for us. It is said that very evil and terrible things happened. The principals of the academy moved the outer courtyard to Sunset Peak, but it hurt us low-level miscellaneous disciples. I dare not go out at night."
"So that's how it is..." Su Yan showed deep thought, and then asked: "May I ask this brother, apart from the evil incidents you mentioned back then, did any strange things happen later?"
"This..." The miscellaneous disciple shuddered when he heard the words, fear and uneasiness appeared in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "In these years, although there has been no incident similar to that year, the people who live here often In the middle of the night I heard terrible noises coming from the inner courtyard..."
"What frightening sound?" Su Yan's heart moved. Originally, he was holding the mentality of trying to see if he could get more information about the inner courtyard from the miscellaneous disciples living here. He never thought that he really knew. , "Senior brother, you might as well talk and listen."
"We often hear people talking to themselves at night, but we can't understand what they are saying. Whenever that time, we feel that the whole Yinlingyuan is filled with a cold atmosphere, as if there are evil spirits lurking Staring at us in the courtyard..."
"You mean, in the middle of the night, there will be voices talking to oneself from the inner courtyard? Is there anything else unusual?"
"And... the sound of slow footsteps, the rhythm is like someone pacing back and forth in the inner courtyard..." Speaking of this, the fear in the eyes of the miscellaneous disciple became more and more intense, and he said in a trembling voice: "I heard that in a hundred More than a year ago, many people died when the demonic incident occurred in the inner courtyard. Among them, there were many fighters at the level of the strong, all of whom had their heads twisted off. Maybe... Maybe it was because they didn't want to die, and their resentful souls gathered together, so Often manifested in the night..."
"Thank you, brother."
"It's okay. From now on, we will all work together in this miscellaneous office, and we are also brothers of the same school. I should tell you these things. I still have a lot of miscellaneous chores to do, so I won't leave any more. Remember, don't go to the inner courtyard!"

Seeing the back of the miscellaneous disciple leaving in a hurry, Su Yan fell into deep thought, until he felt Lingmeng shaking his arm, and then came back to his senses.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
"Go and find your room first, we'll talk while tidying up."
"Senior sister won't live in the room arranged by the steward, she should live in the room arranged by Elder You."
"Senior Sister, aren't you afraid?" Su Yan looked at her in surprise, and said, "There is a possibility that there are evil spirits dormant in the inner courtyard, and they might come to your bedside when Senior Sister is fast asleep..."
"Okay, don't scare me, anyway, I live in the same room with you, what else is there to be afraid of, Senior Sister."
…Su Yan opened his mouth, and didn’t know what to say for a moment. He smiled wryly and said, “Because I had no other choice, and I was worried about your safety, I thought of sharing the same room. Now they have been allocated in the outer courtyard.” I don’t know what to say about you, Senior Sister, but you want to live in the inner courtyard with me.”
"I don't care, anyway, wherever you are, my senior sister will be there. Anyway, you are my junior, so I can't leave you alone. If you are in danger, I can still protect you, senior sister."
"Senior Sister, tell the truth. If there are evil spirits, I don't know who will protect whom." Su Yan was full of black lines, but he didn't insist that Lingmeng stay in the outer courtyard, and dragged her to the inner courtyard.

"Hey! What do you think those two people are going to do? Are they going to the inner courtyard?" Some disciples in the outer courtyard saw Su Yan and Lingmeng walking towards the inner courtyard, and they all showed expressions of horror, thinking about the weird things at night. , I just felt cold all over my body, and shivered involuntarily.

"The two unfamiliar faces should be new disciples. They don't know the horror of the inner courtyard. It seems that they are going to suffer!"

"You said, should we remind them?"

"It's better to sweep the snow in front of the door, whether there is frost on other people's tiles, it has nothing to do with us..."
"That's what I said, but don't you think that woman is beautiful just by looking at her back? She should look pretty good. Wouldn't it be a pity if something happens to you?"

"Hehe, you still want to be a hero to save the beauty? Then you have to see if you have the ability. It's best not to have any karma in the affairs of the inner courtyard. One mistake may be irreversible!"
"This……"
When the disciples were discussing in low voices, Su Yan and Lingmeng had already arrived in front of the inner courtyard.Everyone who witnessed this scene became nervous, watching them pass through the gate of the inner courtyard and disappear into the shade.The two shadows cast by the light passing through the gaps in the dense leaves made them feel palpitations.

The inner courtyard is covered by woods, and the light is very dim. Except for a few winding old gravel paths, other places are full of weeds.

It is terribly quiet here, even the sound of insects can't be heard, like a space isolated from the real world, full of eerie atmosphere everywhere.

Lingmeng felt a little scared in her heart, followed Su Yan closely, and as she walked, suddenly there was a crisp sound of "click" under her feet, which seemed very abrupt and strange in this quiet environment.

She felt that she had stepped on something, and looked down carefully, a broken hand bone came into view, which scared her so much that she almost didn't jump up!
"Brother..."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Su Yan patted Lingmeng's shoulder lightly, then carefully looked at the hand bones, followed the hand bones to the grass beside the gravel path, and found a mutilated skeleton without a head .And about two meters away from the skeleton, there was a skull that had decayed beyond recognition.

Su Yan was slightly taken aback, rubbed his chin instinctively, his eyes showed a thoughtful look, and then he continued to walk forward with Lingmeng.

Deep in the shade of the inner courtyard, there is a row of old houses. Due to years of disrepair, the doors and windows of the houses have been damaged. A gust of wind blows through, and the doors and windows creak, adding a bit of horror to the inner courtyard. .

There is a pavilion in front of the house, and inside the pavilion is a furnace for refining equipment, which is covered with cobwebs and covered with thick dust.

Su Yan just glanced at it from a distance, and then turned his attention to the grass on both sides of the path, and found dozens of mutilated skeletons and scattered skulls.

Finally, he came to the furnace in the pavilion, and saw a skullless corpse behind the furnace.

"What happened back then, and what did the headmaster and the worshiping elders discover? Not only did they keep silent, they even didn't take away the corpses of the people who died inexplicably in the inner courtyard. This is too inconsistent. Makes sense..."
Hearing Su Yan's words, Lingmeng, who was in a disturbed mood, settled down, looked around vigilantly, and then said, "Maybe they dare not collect the corpses of these people, or maybe they found something and think that the corpses should not be moved rashly... "
"As for what happened back then, we all listened to others. After so many years, word of mouth, the information may be a little bit different from the real situation back then, so it's hard for us to come up with results now. Anyway, we want to live here , I believe that the truth of the matter will always be found out!"
After Su Yan finished speaking, he pulled Lingmeng around the furnace and found the corresponding room number on the wooden sign.

This room is located in the middle of the whole row of houses. The door is very old and cracked in some places.

Su Yan pushed open the door, thick dust fell down, and a musty smell burst out instantly.

The furnishings in the room are very neat, with tables, chairs, beds and so on.

With a flick of his sleeve, his true energy swept past like a gust of wind, and all the dust in the room was swept up by his true energy, and then transformed into a dragon shape and rushed out, the whole room was instantly clean.

"The furnishings in this room are not simple. Both the tables, chairs and beds are made of high-quality spiritual wood. It seems that the people who lived here were not ordinary." Su Yan looked carefully, and finally turned his gaze It was fixed on the wall to the left of the bed.

There is an old yellow calligraphy and painting. The background of the calligraphy and painting is a refining furnace. Next to the furnace is written a flying character - ware!

Looking at the word "device" on the calligraphy and painting, Su Yan's eyes showed surprise.

He is an expert, and he is proficient in the art of refining, but the word "artifact" is not just a word in his eyes.It actually contains the spirit pattern of the refining tool. To be precise, this word is interwoven with the spirit pattern, but people who don't have a deep study of the spirit pattern can't see it at all.

"No...not right..." Su Yan shook his head and said to himself, which made Lingmeng beside him a little confused, "Junior brother, what's wrong, did you find something?"
"The word 'ware' is wrong!" Su Yan pointed to the calligraphy and painting on the wall, and said, "Judging from the furnishings of this room and the calligraphy and painting, most of the people who lived here back then were Ling Zhuzi, the master craftsman."
"According to this, this calligraphy and painting should be made by Ling Zhuzi. Junior brother, what you said is wrong, can't you refer to this calligraphy and painting?"

"It's exactly this calligraphy and painting!" Su Yan nodded, frowned slightly, and said, "Senior Sister may think this calligraphy and painting is very ordinary, but in fact it is not as simple as it appears on the surface. The word 'device' written on it All are made of spirit patterns intertwined!"
"Brother, what do you mean..."
"What I mean is that although Ling Zhuzi is one of the master craftsmen in the Cairo Kingdom and has traveled far and wide to become famous, his understanding of spirit patterns should not have reached this level!"
