Chapter 363 – The Mansion
Lin Qiye stood behind the door, his spiritual power constantly focused on the scene outside the door.
Only to see the white paper man lightly landing on the stone path in front of the mansion door, with a miserable white face, a pair of asymmetrically sized eyes swept across the surrounding area, surveying the mansion where Lin Qiye was hiding for a few moments before turning back and continuing to search ahead.
Lin Qiye saw the paper people leave, then he gently breathed a sigh of relief, in a place like this, if he was entangled by a paper person, with Lin Qiye’s speed, he might not be able to shake them off, by that time, there would be more and more paper people chasing after him, and sooner or later, the scenario outside the giant bronze gate would be reproduced.
These paper people’s methods were too bizarre, Lin Qiye didn’t want to get involved with them in the slightest and only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible to join his companions outside.
Lin Qiye reached out and attempted to open the door of the mansion and was about to leave this place, but right at this moment, his entire body suddenly froze in place.
The mansion door, which had originally opened and closed easily, was unexpectedly motionless at this moment, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t shake it in the slightest!
Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed slightly as a touch of ominous foreboding surfaced in his heart ……
Splat–!
In the dead silence and darkness, a soft sound came from the mansion house behind Lin Qiye!
Lin Qiye jerked his head back, his right hand instantly resting on the hilt of the sword behind him, every muscle in his body tensed up, ready to strike at any time.
His gaze swept across the darkened courtyard and mansion house, his eyes filled with a puzzled look.
Before entering this room, he had already swept through everything in the mansion house with his spiritual power, confirming that there was no one here at all, and since this was the case, where did that sound just now come from?
Lin Qiye used his spiritual power to sweep through the surroundings inch by inch, comparing every object with the location before the sound was made, and after a moment, he finally found the source of the sound.
Only to see that in the northeast corner of the courtyard, a paper broom had fallen to the ground at some point.
A paper broom? Lin Qiye’s brows were tightly locked, he clearly remembered that the sound just now was very brittle, it should be the sound of some hard object falling on the ground, even if it was a broom, it should be a real broom, how could paper make such a sound?
Ga–
Dang..!
The main door of the mansion house in the center, suddenly opened outwards and then quickly closed, the portal hitting on top of the old threshold with a slight crashing sound!
Lin Qiye violently turned his head to look, spreading his spiritual power to the extreme! There was nothing.
There was no one, nothing touching that door, but it just opened and then closed …… on its own as if there was someone he couldn’t see, couldn’t perceive, opening this door.
Lin Qiye’s eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, his hands gripped the hilts of the knives behind his back, slowly pulling the two straight knives out of their sheaths, holding them tightly in his hands, and taking one step at a time, he walked towards the mansion house that had made the sound.
The tightly locked door of the mansion, the paper broom that suddenly touched down, the portal that opened and closed automatically.
All of this seems to signal that in this mansion, there is a mysterious force …… or, a mysterious person present.
But Lin Qiye couldn’t see it.
Lin Qiye held the knife and walked to the entrance of the mansion house and stopped, his spiritual power had already reflected all the scenes inside the house into his mind, there was nothing else in the house except for the ghastly white paper beds, paper money, and the paper tied tables and chairs.
Lin Qiye’s heart couldn’t help but be a bit puzzled, what exactly was the paper bed and paper tied table and chairs that thin and light for?
But any creature with a bit of weight on them would collapse them, right?
Lin Qiye shook his head, casting away these tedious thoughts and focused his attention highly, ready to strike at any time.
Even though there was nothing at all in this house from the mental force feedback, Lin Qiye didn’t have the slightest bit of relief because he could vaguely guess that there was something inside …… that he couldn’t see or perceive.
A touch of night color drenched the door of the house in front of Lin Qiye, and under the push of darkness, this door slowly opened ……
Lin Qiye stood in the doorway holding his sword, and a faint golden aura emerged from his eyes.
Puh-!
The portal had just opened a small opening when a large amount of paper money flew and scattered out from the cracks in the door, flooding Lin Qiye!
Lin Qiye’s pupils suddenly shrunk, and the twin swords between his palms quickly swung, the light blue blades outlined dense blade light in front of Lin Qiye’s body, chopping up all the paper money in an instant, none of it touching Lin Qiye’s body!
However, Lin Qiye soon realized that his movements were redundant.
Because these paper money didn’t have the slightest attack embedded within them, lightly spilling out of the door and fluttering in the air …… they were just paper money.
Just as Lin Qiye was staggered, the paper tied tables and chairs inside the house suddenly tumbled to the ground, as if someone had hit them.
The paper-tied tables and chairs fell to the ground with the same hard crashing sound, as if what fell to the ground wasn’t paper but real wooden furniture.
Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed slightly as his gaze slowly swept through the house without any sign of anyone’s presence.
After hesitating for a moment, he simply spread out his palms and softly chanted:
Wildfire cannot be eliminated, but the spring breeze blows again.
Chant-!
A wisp of fire appeared in his hand, and with his palm gently turning up, he was about to burn all of these bizarre paper-tied tables and chairs and paper money.
Right at this moment, a piece of paper money suddenly floated up from the ground!
That paper money trembled and flew in front of Lin Qiye, and when Lin Qiye saw this scene, his entire body froze.
Only to see that on top of that piece of paper money, in black lines, a few big words were written in a crooked manner.Lord spare your life!
Master spare your life?
Lin Qiye stared at these words in dismay, stood blankly in place, and after a moment, tentatively opened his mouth:You …… are people?
The piece of paper money floated back down to the ground, and the black lines were outlined again out of thin air.
Soon, a second line emerged on the paper money.We are ghosts, ghosts that live here.
Lin Qiye frowned.
The third line quickly surfaced.Master, if you really want to kill, just kill me! Let my wife and daughter go, my daughter was just frightened and accidentally touched the broom in the corner to startle the lord, please be magnanimous!
When Lin Qiye saw these words, the paper broomstick that had just fallen to the ground immediately came to mind, and the color of doubt in his heart intensified.
The one who knocked off the paper broomstick was also a ghost?
However, he still dispersed the flames in his hands, as far as the current situation was concerned, these ghosts didn’t seem to be able to pose a threat to him.
Lin Qiye spoke in a deep voice: Ghosts or people, I don’t seem to have messed with you guys, why did you lock the gate and not let me out?
The fourth line was written quickly on the paper money, as if he was afraid that if he wrote it slowly, he would be beaten by Lin Qiye’s soul.Master, we didn’t lock the gate on purpose! All of our gates here are like this, the dead can enter, the living do not exit. You are a living person, it is OK to come in from the outside, but it is difficult to go …… out from the inside!
You guys here? Lin Qiye asked suspiciously, what is this …… place?
The ghost paused, and after a moment, wrote two big words on the paper money.Fengdu.
