Chapter 187 Mountain Manor
The incense ash was sprinkled by Sanniang.

The two human skin-dressing boys were very cautious. They floated in the night sky like balloons, their heads constantly rotating 360 degrees.

Even if the sky and the earth are pitch black, their eye sockets without eyeballs can still see everything going on around them.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t see Sanniang who had been following them all the way.

Nor could one see the incense ashes scattered on the ground by Sanniang.

Shang Lu, who was sitting in the bamboo-paper sedan chair, did not look back, but he knew that Sanniang was following him and leaving marks along the way.

This is a very strange feeling.

It is a telepathy that belongs only to him and Sanniang.

Shang Lu secretly glanced at the paper figures carrying the sedan chair and the human-skinned boy leading the way, and seeing that they did not react, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was very proud in his heart: My third mother is so awesome!
In the inn.

Feng Nan and Liu Zhi both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the incense ash spreading like a thread into the distance.

With the mark, they were no longer in a hurry and directed everyone to organize the spices, check the mules and horses, and act as if they were going to set out overnight.

After the spices were sorted and loaded onto the cart and the unconscious mules and horses were awakened, Feng Nan led everyone, drove the mules and horses to pull the cart, out of the post station, and headed south to reach Luoshui County overnight.

Seeing how active they were, a few flying insects in the darkness turned into black smoke and disappeared.

At the same time, the bumps on Feng Nan's wooden sign that hurt his hand disappeared.

But Feng Nan was not in a hurry. He continued to lead everyone for a while. Only after he made sure that the wooden sign no longer changed did he signal the team to stop.

He called Liu Zhi to his side and quickly arranged:
"Old Liu, I will lead the men to chase after them along the incense ash. You go find the witch and tell them what just happened, then lead them to meet up along the incense. When the adults send the signal, we will work together inside and outside to wipe out these enemy spies."

"it is good."

Liu Zhi didn't say anything and immediately took two people with him to find a witch.

Feng Nan led everyone to find a secluded place first, hid the carriage and spices, and untied the reins of the mules and horses and whipped them to drive them away.

Then he returned to the post station in the dark.

Instead of lighting torches, they took out a mirror that emitted a faint light.

This mirror is a special equipment obtained from the armory. The mirror surface can emit light by itself. Although it is not very bright, it is enough to find incense ashes.

Moreover, this weak light cannot be seen at a distance even in the dark night, unlike a torch which is clearly visible no matter how far away it is, and will be exposed in an instant.

Feng Nan, with a dozen county soldiers, quickly found the incense ash and ran along it.

Unlike the Hexian soldiers who traveled on foot, Shanglu, sitting in a bamboo and paper sedan, felt like he was on a roller coaster.

The paper figure was clearly flying in the air on the cold wind, but it was not stable at all, and it made sharp rises and falls and sharp turns from time to time.

Fortunately, Shang Lu and his men had strong cultivation, otherwise they would have been scared to scream or exposed.

Shang Lu secretly observed the direction of the team:
After leaving Lingjie Town, we first headed west, flew across a river, then turned south... We also deliberately changed direction several times along the way.

Not only that, Shang Lu also discovered that fog-like substances were discharged from the bodies of the two human skin-skin boys from time to time.

These strange smokes completely wiped out the negative energy left by the team along the way.

"So, they are going around in circles like this to avoid being followed secretly?"

Shang Lu came to a guess.

The two human skin boys were indeed cautious, but unfortunately they did not expect that the four poisonous corpses they received were really poisonous. No matter how complicated the route was or how many methods they used to deal with the aftermath, it was useless.

After flying for about half an hour, the two human-skin boys that were inflated like balloons finally began to deflate and land.

By the time they landed, their bodies had returned to normal.

Paper dolls also carried bamboo and paper sedan chairs and fell down with them.

Shang Lu looked around quietly and found that the place where he landed was in a valley.

At this moment, the valley was shrouded in a thick night fog. Even with Shang Lu's extraordinary eyesight, he could not see the surrounding situation clearly.

The two skin-skin boys clearly had no eyeballs, but they knew the way. They led the paper people and quickly shuttled through the night fog and arrived in front of a manor.

Although the manor is not very clear in the fog, it is quite large and covers a large area.

Although it was late at night, the manor was a scene of brilliant lights, and there were sounds of stringed instruments, singing and dancing, as well as the noise of drinking and having fun, making it seem very lively.

This scene made Shang Lu feel both weird and strange.

Why is there a prosperous manor deep in the mountains?
Who are these Chu spies entertaining?

At the same time, Shang Lu also discovered that the sounds coming from the manor were quite strange.

It didn't sound like it was coming from the wide open space outdoors, but rather like it was coming from a narrow room, with some echo.

It was also at this time that Shang Lu noticed that there were two lanterns hanging at the gate of the manor. Below the lanterns, there were two stone beasts guarding the gate.

However, these two stone animals are not the common stone elephants and stone lions.

The stone beast on the left has a human body and animal feet, four eyes on its face, and is naked. It holds a spear and a shield, and there are several snake-like and ghost-like monsters under its feet.

The stone beast on the right is a monster with a human face and a dog body. It squats on the ground, stepping on the evil ghost, as if it is ready to chew it up and eat it at any time.

wrong!

Shang Lu recognized the two stone beasts.

This is not a stone beast guarding the gate, but a tomb guardian beast placed inside a tomb!

Who in a normal family would place a tomb guardian beast at the door of their house?

So this place is not a luxurious manor in the mountains at all, but a huge tomb in the mountains? !
Just as Shang Lu made this guess, a puff of green smoke suddenly rose from the statue of the liver god in the temple of the five internal organs and went into his eyes.

Shang Lu suddenly felt a coolness in his eyes.

Then, the scene in my eyes began to surge.

He actually saw through the appearance of this luxurious manor and saw its true essence!
He was right, this was not a luxurious manor at all!
It's a huge tomb.

They are now at the entrance of this tomb.

The stone tomb has risen, looking like a giant beast with bared fangs, waiting to devour people.

What were hung on both sides of the tomb door were not lanterns, but two human heads.

The human head had already decayed and maggots were crawling on it, but the eyeballs and mouth could move, and it even greeted the human-skin boy. It was really weird.

Shang Lu thought that these spies were indeed dealing with corpses every day, and they even chose a tomb as their hiding place!

But at the same time, he felt surprised: Feng Boyuan and other witch officials had conducted a detailed investigation on the tombs in Luoshui County during this time, but they did not find this place.

Maybe there is some special arrangement hidden here?
