She still did not use any internal energy or anything like that to isolate the blood and water because she didn't dare.

Because she was afraid that any fluctuation in the vital energy of heaven and earth would attract the attention of something.

Lu Hongling suppressed her fear, stood in the rain of blood, and looked at the people in the room, appearing restrained and introverted.

In the southwest corner of the house, a wooden door stood quietly, and no one knew where it led to.

Is it over or not?

Lu Hongling made up her mind, pushed open the wooden door in the southwest corner of the house and walked in.

Before pushing open the wooden door, Lu Hongling imagined many possibilities, most of which were the same stone chamber, either covered with blood words or hung with eyes.

But the scene before her was beyond her expectations.

The house was very clean, there was nothing on the walls, and it looked very smooth, but compared to the previous house, there were a few more things here.

Several graves.

Four graves lay quietly in this seemingly clean and tidy house, like four corpses.

Even after traveling for so many years, this was the first time Lu Hongling saw a tomb built in a house.

Or in a dark basement.

These four tombs are very simple, just four mounds of earth with a stone tablet standing in front of them.

The soil on the mound looked a little moist, as if it had been rained on.

Lu Hongling wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked over carefully.

The light emitted by the night pearl was very faint, like water, falling on these stone tablets.

There were no shocking blood words or patterns on the stone tablet.

A monument without words?

After seeing these graves, for some unknown reason, Lu Hongling had the urge to dig them up.

She immediately pinched the flesh on her palm until her nails dug into the flesh, and only then did she suppress the urge.

This place is really too weird.

Looking at the blood flowing from her palm, Lu Hongling knew that her previous guess was correct. Here, her emotions were magnified.

This is a very dangerous sign.

Because once people can't control their emotions, they are likely to do stupid things.

Lu Hongling couldn't help but look elsewhere.

The light of the night pearl swayed, dispelling the darkness around it.

It was not until this time that she discovered that the room was larger and deeper than she had imagined, because there was an extra passage in one corner of the room.

The passage is not wide and can only accommodate one person, so its depth is unknown.

Lu Hongling glanced at the tombs for a few seconds, then slowly walked into the passage.

The passage was a bit low, and even with Lu Hongling's height, she couldn't help but lower her head.

Because of that oppressive feeling, it is easy for people to have the illusion that their heads will hit each other.

This passage was longer than Lu Hongling had imagined, and it took her a whole incense stick of time to reach the end.

This feeling made Lu Hongling feel like she was heading towards hell.

At this moment, Lu Hongling suddenly stopped, and while lying on the ground, she held the night pearl tightly in her hand, not letting any light leak out.

Because a little light appeared in front of us at this time.

The light was on inside the house, and Lu Hongling could only see one window.

Yes, there is a window at the end of this passage.

The pale window paper was illuminated by the flickering firelight, like the face of a patient groaning in pain.

Chapter 9 Skin

Facing this pale window, Lu Hongling did not take any action for a while.

There is light in the room, so is there anyone there?

She is really not afraid of ordinary people, but she is still quite afraid of the owner here.

Just when she came down, those three rooms gave her a solid warning.

Lu Hongling lay there, and except for the light coming through the window, there was only darkness like thick ink.

She felt that everything around her had become quiet, and time seemed to have lost its meaning here.

But she was very patient and did not rush to investigate.

Two cups of tea passed, and when Lu Hongling saw that there was still no movement behind the window, she began to move.

She was still bent over, her feet seemed to have pads on them, she landed silently under the window.

It was not until this time that Lu Hongling's right hand quietly touched the window that did not seem to be strong.

With a hiss, a tiny crack appeared in the window, as if it was blown by the wind.

At this time, Lu Hongling closed her eyes and released her spiritual consciousness again.

Her spiritual sense quickly passed through the gap in the window and began to explore the room.

In Lu Hongling's perception, the house was not big, very square, and there were no living things.

It seems that after Xi Yu left, he did not leave any strange guards downstairs.

So she opened her eyes, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and opened the window with a creak.

Without any hesitation, Lu Hongling floated in like a wisp of green smoke and landed in a corner of the house.

There was a wooden table in the middle of the room, with a small lamp on it that could not illuminate every corner of the room.

After coming to this room, Lu Hongling found that the fear that had been pent up before had eased a lot, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Yes, she's back to normal.

Could this be Xi Yu’s real residence?

Lu Hongling looked around. Perhaps because of the wooden table and the oil lamp, she felt that there was a little more human touch in this place.

The room was still extremely monotonous, with only five paintings hanging on the right wall.

All five paintings are simple landscape paintings. For the master painter Lu Hongling, these five paintings can even be considered of very low quality.

Then she quickly discovered that the house didn't even have a door except for the window for entering and exiting.

This mysterious and terrifying underground space seems to have come to an end here.

Is this all Xi Yu has lived for for so long?

Lu Hongling stood in this room, not knowing how to describe her feelings for a moment.

This house is too simple.

Are there other dark rooms?

Thinking of her previous experience, Lu Hongling couldn't help but close her eyes again and began to explore the surrounding space with her spiritual sense.

There was no more space beneath the ground, no roof, and then the walls...

Lu Hongling opened her eyes and turned her attention back to the paintings.

Is there something behind the painting?

At this moment, Lu Hongling's mood, which had calmed down a little, became nervous again.

Based on her perception just now, the space behind the painting was not large, but it invisibly brought her tremendous pressure.

After all, this is already the deepest part of this underground space. Perhaps it is the core of Xi Yu's secret?

Lu Hongling drew out her sword.

It was a silver soft sword made of a very special material. It was her belt when not in use and a sword when in use.

Lu Hongling just picked up the first painting lightly and it fell on the table next to her.

The next moment, Lu Hongling involuntarily took two steps back and gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

The space behind the painting is very short, only a few steps away.

But the moment Lu Hongling opened the painting, she saw an armchair shaking gently inside, which really scared her.

Lu Hongling finally breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that the chair was probably shaking just because of its structure.

After passing through those horrific stone chambers, she didn't expect that she would be so scared by a chair here.

Lu Hongling didn't dare to move the oil lamp on the table. Instead, she held up the night pearl and shone it inside. She found that there was nothing inside except the armchair.

The chair swayed slightly, but it was still swaying, and for a moment it gave people the illusion that there was an invisible person sitting on it.

Lu Hongling couldn't understand why Xi Yu put a chair here.

Could this be where Xi Yu sleeps every day?

After all, from the top stone house to now, there has not even been a bed.

This armchair is obviously a better choice. For example, now Lu Hongling wants to lie on it.

Yes, this rocking chair seems to have a strange magic that attracts people to lie down on it.

Lu Hongling, noticing something strange, immediately bit the tip of her tongue. The stinging sensation brought her back to consciousness in an instant.

She suddenly realized that this was a terrible thing.

She seemed to see Xi Yu coming down from the stone house alone over the past few hundred years, passing through the blood-stained rooms filled with struggles, then feasting in the room full of ears, and finally coming here, lying on the armchair and rocking to sleep.

Such things are horrifying just to think about.

And if I had just lay down, would anything have changed?

Become the second Xi Yu?

Thinking of this, Lu Hongling was shocked.

She knew there must be something strange going on here, and that if she stayed there for too long, someone might get into trouble, so she decided to make a quick decision.

So, very quickly, the second painting was also taken down.

There was nothing inside either, only a gently rocking armchair.

After the third and fourth paintings, there is still a shaking armchair.

For a moment, the four armchairs were shaking in the small space. It would be a lie to say that it was not scary.

Lu Hongling made up her mind and picked up the last painting in the room.

Behind the last painting is still an armchair, but with a few other things added.

The thing was draped over the chair, and under the light of the night pearl, it looked pale and like a piece of clothing.

Xi Yu's clothes?

At this point, Lu Hongling naturally would not miss this detail.

She couldn't help but pick out the "dress" with her soft sword and then held it up to the light.

Seeing this photo, Lu Hongling couldn't help but shake her hands, and while shaking the "clothes" to the ground, she took several steps back.

Because she discovered that it was not clothes, but a piece of skin.

Human skin?

When it was just unfolded, this thing was indeed in the shape of a human, but it was far from human skin.

Or, a bit like the skin shed by a big snake?

What the hell is this?

The skin fell to the ground, and Lu Hongling's heart was already tense.

She even had the illusion that this skin would bite people.

After dozens of breaths, the skin that fell to the ground did not change at all, and Lu Hongling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
