Li Xiaohu patted Yin Xinyue's shoulder reassuringly.
Then he shouted, "Stop!"
As he spoke, he used his foot to pick up a torch and kick it up.
Only then did everyone see clearly.
That's not an old woman in white on the roof beam, it's clearly an ancient painting!
The painting depicts an elderly woman with white hair, her face full of wrinkles, her eyes and mouth squeezed into slits, yet she still reveals a strange smile.
She was dressed in white silk and was leading a small, pale white donkey.
A man and a donkey stood abruptly in a cemetery of old trees.
The whole picture has an indescribable eeriness to it.
Li Xiaohu comforted everyone, saying, "It's just a portrait, calm down, calm down."
Chen Yulou blushed and tried to save face, saying, "The painting is indeed lifelike, but it's so sinister that it makes people feel disgusted."
As he spoke, he stepped forward, leaped high onto the table, reached up to the roof beam, and peeled the ancient painting down.
After landing, he gracefully tossed his long robe aside and placed the ancient painting on the table.
Red Girl stepped forward, holding a torch.
Chen Yulou looked closely and suddenly exclaimed, "How strange!"
"Why is there a portrait of Old Lady Bai displayed in the archives?"
"Old Mrs. Bai?" Yin Xinyue asked curiously, "Who is that?"
Luo Laowai and Hong Guniang also looked at Chen Yulou with curiosity.
Chen Yulou said with disgust, "They are earth immortals who have cultivated themselves from the Yellow and White Demons!"
"These kinds of evil spirits are neither good nor evil, they're not good people at all!"
Yin Xinyue nodded thoughtfully.
She had heard legends of such powerful spirits since she was a child, and had a slight impression of them.
Chen Yulou pulled out the short dagger that was stuck in the ancient painting.
Yin Xinyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "This dagger..."
"What?" Chen Yulou raised an eyebrow and asked, "Miss Yin recognizes this dagger?"
Yin Xinyue shook her head and replied, "I don't know her."
"However, this dagger looks like an antique from the Qin or Han dynasties, and its craftsmanship is so exquisite!"
Chen Yulou glanced at Yin Xinyue with surprise and said, "Miss Yin has a good eye!"
"This is called Little Divine Edge. It is a token passed down from generation to generation by the leaders of our Unloading Ridge Sect. It was indeed passed down from the chaotic Han Dynasty."
Yin Xinyue smiled smugly upon hearing this.
Chen Yulou instructed Hong Gu: "Hong Gu, go and burn this painting."
The young woman took the ancient painting, turned around, and walked out the door.
"Meow!"
A sharp meow suddenly rang out from inside the house.
Everyone immediately turned to look at Li Xiaohu, thinking it was his cat meowing.
Li Xiaohu laughed and asked in return, "Why are you all looking at me?"
"Not your cat?" Yin Xinyue asked, puzzled.
Only then did they realize that all of Li Xiaohu's cats had gone out and hadn't returned.
Li Xiaohu shook his head, but secretly he was delighted.
"Meow!"
Another meow.
Chen Yulou and the others looked in the direction of the sound and found an old cat with mottled markings lying on the roof beam above them.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
He didn't take it seriously and sat down again.
Unexpectedly, the old cat with spotted fur leaped down from the roof beam, jumped onto Aunt Mouse's shoulder, and bit off her ear in one bite!
Bite it.
He even gave Chen Yulou a provocative look!
"You guy!"
Chen Yulou was already upset because of the series of events that had happened before.
At this moment, he was provoked by a cat in public, and he was immediately furious!
He flipped out the Little Divine Blade and threw it at the old cat with the spotted skin!
It's unclear whether Chen Yulou lost his aim due to anger.
The old cat with the spotted skin was still the most agile.
"Meow!"
The little sharp blade barely grazed the old cat's body, and with a "whoosh," it slammed into the door panel.
The spotted old cat leaped off Aunt Mouse's shoulder, glanced back at Chen Yulou one last time, and fled outside as fast as it could, disappearing into the darkness in an instant.
No one expected this to happen, and now they all looked at Chen Yulou, unsure of what to do.
Chen Yulou blushed.
He had already warned that no one should disturb Aunt Rat's corpse, but who knew that a spotted old cat would mutilate the body.
Furthermore.
The dignified leader of the Unloading Ridge Sect actually failed to defeat an old cat!
It made him feel like he had lost face in front of his subordinates, especially in front of outsiders.
In order to save face.
Chen Yulou threw off his long gown and chased after him!
"If I don't catch you today, Chen, I'll change my surname to Cat!"
"Boss!"
"Always in charge!"
Red Girl, Luo Laowai got up to stop her.
Without turning his head, Chen Yulou said, "Don't follow me! I'll be right back!"
"Tsk." Old Luo asked, puzzled, "Is our chief possessed by some evil spirit?"
Why would I argue with an old cat?
He thought, it's just a corpse, so what if a cat carried it away? Is it really worth making such a fuss?
Red Girl rolled her eyes at Luo Laowai and cursed, "What do you know!"
"We, the Unloading Ridge lineage, have always respected the people of Kushui, especially since we are staying at their place of lodging today. If we can't even protect her body, we will not only be violating our guild's rules, but also losing face!"
"Hey!" Luo Laowai stepped forward in displeasure when he saw that Hong Guniang had spoken rudely to him.
"What do you want?" The girl in red was not afraid at all, and instead raised her head proudly.
"Forget it." Luo Laowai suddenly remembered Hong Guniang's previous experience and snorted coldly, "I'm too lazy to bother with you."
He sat back down and muttered, "Do whatever you want, just don't delay my tomb raiding tomorrow."
Yin Xinyue also felt that it had nothing to do with her, and sat back down in front of the fire.
A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared!
"Boom!"
A sudden rumble of thunder!
The girl in red looked up at the sky, which was completely dark.
Storm is coming.
He said with some concern, "It's about to pour rain, let's go and see."
Li Xiaohu nodded in agreement.
"I want to go too!" came Yin Xinyue's voice from behind.
After Li Xiaohu and Hong Guniang left, only she and Luo Laowai were left in the room.
Luo Laowai doesn't seem like a good person, so she doesn't want to be alone with him in a room.
The main thing is.
