The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 814 Hospitality
The door of the house creaked open, and an old and hoarse voice sounded from the crack of the door:

"My master invites you. You two have been traveling so long, why don't you come into the courtyard and rest for a while?"

Liu Sheng and Taibai Sword Immortal looked at each other.

Liu Sheng asked: "Do you want to go in?"

Taibai Sword Immortal yawned and said, "They are so welcoming and the road is blocked. Can we not go in?"

"Too."

This discussion between the two did not seem to have any effect on the person in the crack of the door; instead, the crack opened a little wider.

A pale and haggard face slowly appeared, with the corners of the mouth curved too sharply, and gray eyes looked at the carriage, rolling around, as if thinking of something.

"Then what about our carriage?" Liu Sheng asked.

The man laughed even louder. "Of course, you can come in and rest together. There is good fodder in my stable, which will surely keep your horses well fed."

The horse's hooves paused, and it kept moving backwards quietly, and its tail was whipping the air irritably, as if it was strongly objecting.

Liu Sheng raised his hand to steady it, then said softly: "I hope it is really good fodder."

There is a lot of meaning in the words.

"Of course, of course, please!"

The man bowed slightly, and the door of the house slowly opened to both sides.

There is a deep courtyard behind the gate.

It was like a huge, deep mouth, with only two red lanterns dangling in front of the door, the only source of light in the darkness.

The white horse was very panicked, but before it could move its hooves, an irresistible force pushed it towards the gate.

It turned out that the strange creatures that were gathered nearby were coming forward one after another, pushing the carriage silently.

It neighed in fear and struggled to paw the snow with its hooves, but was unable to resist.

Liu Sheng and Taibai Sword Immortal just sat quietly, allowing the carriage to be slowly sent into the deep mansion by these human-shaped monsters.

Not until the door of the house was shut behind him and the light of the red lanterns was blocked out did the irresistible force finally stop.

The old man said hoarsely: "You two, the food is ready, please get off the car."

Liu Sheng and Taibai Sword Immortal responded and jumped down.

The carriage was then dragged away by a soldier without a lower body and a woman in a silk dress with no body above the waist, one in front and one behind. The white horse kept looking back at Liu Sheng, his eyes full of pleading.

Liu Sheng smiled and waved at it, and earnestly instructed: "Remember to feed it good grass. This horse has never been wronged since it followed me."

The white horse immediately neighed loudly.

The hooves stumbled a few times on the bluestone slabs.

To Liu Sheng, it sounded like an expression of approval.

The old man smiled almost to his ears and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course, I will never let it down in the slightest."

As the carriage was taken away, the slightly messy sound of horse hooves gradually disappeared from the ears.

"Please." The old man extended his hand and beckoned.

Walking along the winding corridor, red lanterns slowly light up with your footsteps, casting blood-red light and shadows, like a pair of silent, peeping blood-red eyes hanging from above.

In reality, it’s not just a feeling.

Liu Sheng clearly felt that the gazes hidden under the steps, on the corridors, behind the rockery, and among the flowers and plants were quietly surging like the tide.

Looking closely, they were all the strange shadows that had been seen outside the house. They had infiltrated the house at some point and were following behind like a shadow.

Taibai Sword Immortal seemed to be unaware of it. He rested his head on his arms and strolled leisurely, looking as relaxed as if he was taking a walk in his own back garden.

The old man in front didn't care at all. He just led the way and slowly introduced the scenery along the way, with the exaggerated smile on his lips never fading.

He said his surname was Yuan and he was the manager of the house.

But when asked about the owner of the mansion, he was vague.

"You'll see him soon." Although Manager Yuan's mouth was wide open, his words were tight-lipped.

Let’s turn to:
"This one is the piano room that the master built specially for the young lady. The young lady comes here every day to practice and play the piano."

"But what about the fact that Qin is nowhere to be seen?"

"Oh, maybe it's too dark for you to see."

"Yeah……"

Liu Sheng, who had night vision, curled his lips. He could see through the carved window and see that there was nothing inside.

"This cloud cherry tree is amazing. Madam specially invited it from Xuanzhou. When the flowers bloom, they are like clouds and rosy clouds."

Manager Yuan pointed to an old tree in the middle of the yard with tangled roots like ghost claws and bare branches like white bones, and said with a smile.

"This……"

Liu Sheng hesitated to speak.

Looking at the drooping branches, there were two children in snow-white clothes hanging on it, hanging upside down, giving her a weird smile.

"What's wrong?" Manager Yuan suddenly turned around.

"Nothing." Liu Sheng said calmly, "I just want to ask, when will this tree bloom?"

Manager Yuan's smile froze for a moment, but soon blossomed again: "Spring is here, and it will bloom naturally."

Two maids carrying trays happened to come towards them. They were tall, even too tall, with long and thin legs like long-legged spiders, and their upper bodies were almost touching the beam.

Manager Yuan led the two of them through their arms, and turned back to remind them, "Remember to bring the foot-washing water to the Madam later."

"Yes." The two maids said in unison, with the same tone.

With a step of his long legs, he crossed the corridor across the yard and went to the corridor opposite.

"Madam...won't you have dinner with us at this time?" Liu Sheng asked.

The steward smiled and said, "Madam is afraid of neglecting the distinguished guest, so she washes his feet first to show respect."

[This sounds very strange...]

Liu Sheng muttered to himself.

They lost count of how many doors they passed through, how many courtyards they walked through, and as they listened to Manager Yuan's introduction, which was like chanting a sutra, they were both about to fall into repetitive boredom.

At this moment, a faint scent of incense wafted into my nose.

What was strange was that there were no more lanterns lit at this corner, and it was completely dark.

Between light and darkness, Liu Sheng stopped.

His eyes fell on a small courtyard in the distance.

The courtyard was quiet, with only three faint flickering incense sticks. A vague statue with a blurry face could be seen enshrined inside.

"This place is..." Liu Sheng frowned slightly.

"Oh, this place..." Steward Yuan's short figure stood aside in front of Liu Sheng, and his tone suddenly became cheerful, "This is the courtyard where the old lady lived before she died. She had a very strange temper, so it's better not to get close to her."

This sounds weird again.

Looking at the hidden gazes around, they all retreated away from this and felt that there was something strange here.

Liu Sheng's eyes moved, but he didn't say anything.

"Come, come, two distinguished guests, please come this way. Our banquet room is almost here." Manager Yuan continued to smile and stretched out his hand to point in another direction.

Liu Sheng exchanged a subtle look with Taibai Sword Immortal.

Keep up with Manager Yuan’s quickened pace.

No one heard it, but a barely audible "click" sound came from the depths of the courtyard behind them.

The statue in the shrine seemed to have a crack.
