But now that he has added a sister, Gu Xiaoxiao, to his attention list, not only does he have to stay up late from time to time, but now he even has to walk on the street, which is really unfair to his fragile old waist.
Today in Linshui Town, everything was the same as before, and nothing new happened.
As usual, Gu Jiu was whistled at by those female thugs. As usual, he rolled his eyes and then came to the long street.
There weren't many people on the streets at noon, and since it was the rainy season recently and the ground was slippery, there were even fewer people.
What made Gu Jiu depressed was that light rain started to fall from the gloomy sky at this moment.
He didn't bring an umbrella, so he could only walk in the rain.
He went to Gu Xiaoxiao's favorite restaurant and martial arts gym, and when he found that no one was there, he felt more and more that something was wrong.
Although Linshui Town is not small, its entertainment industry is not well developed. Gu Xiaoxiao's entertainment activities are either drinking with her sisters or sparring in the martial arts hall, and there is rarely a third thing.
When several shop owners on the street saw Gu Jiu walking alone in the rain, they couldn't help but teasingly asked, "Young husband, do you want to come in and take shelter from the rain?"
Gu Jiu replied: "Forget it, my waist is not good."
After hearing that Gu Jiu’s waist was not in good condition, those wanton women rolled their eyes and lost interest in him.
Gu Jiu asked for directions and headed straight towards Liu's mansion.
The drizzle was as fine as fine hair, falling on Gu Jiurumo's hair like dots of white frost.
From time to time, people open paper umbrellas on the street, which look like flowers blooming in the rain.
Gu Jiu took a deep breath, and the jade crane in his qi sea continuously transformed into strands of vital energy threads, nourishing his body.
He knew that his physical strength was limited and he had to hurry up to do anything.
He didn't want to fall asleep from exhaustion halfway through the journey and then have his body "picked up" by some women.
About a quarter of an hour (15 minutes) later, Gu Jiu arrived at the gate of Liu's mansion and found that Linshui Town was much larger than he had imagined.
Yes, as a native of Linshui Town who had been born and raised there for more than ten years, this was the first time that Gu Jiu had walked so far, and he couldn't help but breathe a little.
In the drizzle, the two stone lions in front of Liu's house looked a little eerie.
Gu Jiu knocked on the doorknob, but there was no response from inside the vermilion door.
After knocking several times and still getting no response, Gu Jiu couldn't help but frown slightly.
You know, wealthy families like the Liu family usually have special servants to answer the door. Now there is no response. Is there something wrong?
Gu Jiu suddenly had a bad premonition, thinking that Gu Xiaoxiao’s disappearance might really be related to the Liu Mansion.
You know, the Liu Mansion was haunted before.
So Gu Jiu walked a distance around the towering wall of Liu Mansion. Seeing that there was no one around, he lightly tapped the ground with his right foot, and like a graceful white crane, he floated gently over the wall.
Gu Jiu landed on the ground without making any sound.
This "Snow Crane Flipping Feathers" move can be considered an extremely advanced light skill, and is part of the Jade Crane Power. Gu Jiu performed it without a trace of worldly airs.
At this time, Gu Jiu became more and more confident in his abilities, that is, he really knew all the skills that had appeared in his mind before.
He was born with full skills, which was a dream start, but unfortunately he had a bad back.
At this time, the drizzle had become increasingly dense, forming a mist in the quiet Liu Mansion.
Gu Jiu walked forward and directly onto the cobblestone road.
Although he climbed over the wall, he was not a thief. He just came to look for his sister, so he didn't think of doing anything sneaky.
The stone pavement of Liu's residence was not as clean as imagined. It was a bit muddy. It was obviously because many people had walked on it and it became like this after being soaked by rain.
The banquet at the Liu Mansion ended the night before yesterday, but the floor has not been cleaned yet. This is very inconsistent with the style of the Liu Mansion, a wealthy family.
What made Gu Jiu feel even more strange was that he had been walking for at least an incense stick of time (five minutes) and still hadn't seen anyone.
The entire Liu Mansion was like a tomb, without even the sound of birds or insects.
At this time, Gu Jiu took a look at the tallest mulberry tree in the Liu Mansion courtyard and found that it had withered.
A big tree died in the spring drizzle, and it gave off a strange smell no matter how you looked at it.
Gu Jiu couldn't find anyone and didn't know the structure of Liu's mansion, so he could only wander around inside.
For someone with a bad back, this is really a very annoying thing.
The Liu family was indeed one of the largest families in Linshui Town, and their mansion was quite large. Gu Jiu walked for about an incense stick of time before he finally reached the main road along the winding path.
The main road of the Liu Mansion connects to the main gate and leads directly to the main hall, but Gu Jiu still didn't see anyone on this road.
When he arrived at the main hall, he only saw the tables that had not been cleaned yet, with some cold rice and leftovers on them, as if the guests had just left.
The drizzle fell on the leftovers, creating ripples. The dishes on the table looked very dull, and it was obvious that they had been there for more than a day and a night.
The lanterns hanging in the yard had already been soaked by the rain and were slung over to the side, adding a touch of decadence to the eerie atmosphere.
This is definitely not the scene that a wealthy family should have.
Even if the Liu family gave all the servants a holiday, it would be impossible for them to be given such a complete holiday.
Gu Jiu couldn't help but take a deep breath. He felt a little troubled and was even more worried about Gu Xiaoxiao.
Ever since he used the sword master's secret technique to kill a water ghost in seconds when he was a baby, Gu Jiu could be described as "extremely lazy".
The direct result of this laziness is that people think he is cold-hearted.
In fact, he is really cold-hearted.
For more than ten years, except for his father, the rest of his family members were like strangers in his eyes.
Until recently, Gu Xiaoxiao became "cute", at least cute in front of him, and the cold-hearted Gu Jiu's mentality changed a little.
That's why he was a little worried and even a little panicked at this moment.
What secrets are hidden in this Liu Mansion that has suddenly become as quiet as a tomb?
Chapter 15 Eyes, Lots of Eyes
There was still no one in the hall. The entire Liu Mansion looked dead, like a tomb.
So Gu Jiu walked to the back of the hall.
While passing a corridor, he found a shovel dropped on the ground and picked it up.
It's better to have a shovel for self-defense than nothing, right?
As time passed, Gu Jiu's limited energy also disappeared.
From the current perspective, there is definitely a big problem with this Liu Mansion, and it is weird everywhere.
At this moment, a faint smell of blood suddenly came from the drizzle.
Gu Jiu let out a long breath and found that the jade crane in his qi sea had become much fainter.
He felt a little tired, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
Following the direction of the smell of blood, Gu Jiu soon found the corpse of a cat.
The white cat fell in the mud, with only a layer of skin left, and its eyeballs were dug out, looking bloody.
"Damn it!" After seeing this cruel scene, Gu Jiu couldn't help but curse in a low voice and quickened his pace.
In the hazy mist and rain, this deserted mansion looks even more eerie.
Gu Jiu walked through a long corridor on the water. The corridor was built on a small lake. The lotus flowers in the lake had not yet bloomed, and half of the lotus leaves had yellow edges, looking a little dilapidated.
Not long after, the attic came into Gu Jiu's sight.
For some reason, Gu Jiu always felt that the attic was a little eerie.
Without any hesitation, he walked towards the attic.
The more eerie the place is, the more strange it will be. In order to save limited energy, Gu Jiu didn't hesitate and went straight in.
Limited energy must be used effectively, and now he is worried that he does not have enough energy.
Whether it was walking or climbing over the wall, it had indeed broken his record of so many years. Gu Jiu just felt a little tired.
As he walked out the door, he heard the sound of beads falling.
Dong dong dong dong dong…
Gu Jiu pushed open the door without any hesitation, making a creaking sound.
The sky was gloomy, and the attic with its windows closed naturally seemed even darker.
Gu Jiu looked up and saw glass beads rolling down the wooden stairs.
He raised his eyebrows, ignored the falling beads, and walked up with the shovel.
The soles of my shoes made a creaking sound on the wooden stairs, which was particularly obvious in the quiet attic.
Soon, the sound of beads rolling down from above disappeared, and no new glass beads were seen rolling down.
This wooden ladder was circular and longer than expected, so when he was about to reach the end, Gu Jiu had already started breathing heavily.
The room on the second floor is very spacious and it is obviously a woman's boudoir.
When Gu Jiu pushed aside the bead curtain and walked in, he was immediately attracted by the large bronze mirror.
The bronze mirror stood on the dressing table, about half a person's height, with delicate carvings of flowers, birds, insects and fish on the edge. It was obviously a valuable item.
Then he looked down and found more than ten glass beads spread on the ground. The beads that had rolled down the stairs before should have slid down from here.
At this time, only half of the window on the right side of the second floor was open, so the light was still dim, giving people a feeling that the room was covered with a layer of dust.
Gu Jiu took a long breath, came to the bronze mirror, and found that his face was really beautiful.
He actually looked quite elegant now, but it seemed a bit out of place to be holding a shovel in his hand.
Gu Jiu looked around and didn't find anything unusual, but he felt that there was a faint smell of blood and peach blossoms in the whole room.
He glanced at the small porcelain bottle on the table and couldn't help wondering, "Are all perfumes scented with peach blossoms now?"
Just as he was about to go up to the third floor, Gu Jiu suddenly focused his attention on the big bed.
The bed was covered with a pink embroidered quilt with a slight bulge in the middle, as if something was hidden inside.
Gu Jiu came to the bed with a shovel, feeling inexplicably nervous.
Although he had the experience of killing a water ghost in seconds, that was when he was a baby. In the past ten years, he slept too much and practiced too little, so he really didn't know what level he was at.
Humans cannot eliminate fear unless they are sick.
Especially in this kind of environment, it makes people's heart beat faster.
Gu Jiu held the shovel in his right hand, grabbed the edge of the quilt with his left hand, and then pulled it straight.
"Oh my god!" After seeing the scene on the bed, Gu Jiu was so scared that he took several steps back and gasped.
I saw a human skin lying under the opened quilt.
The human skin was rolled up and wrapped into an oval barrel shape, like an ordinary piece of clothing, but Gu Jiu could clearly see the nails and scalp exposed outside.
Just when Gu Jiu was still in shock, he suddenly felt a darkness above his head.
Without any hesitation, the shovel in his right hand whizzed upwards like lightning.
With a bang, the tip of the shovel hit something heavy, and the vibrating touch was clearly reflected in Gu Jiu's palm.
Gu Jiu frowned slightly, tightened his right hand, and a stream of heaven and earth energy suddenly rushed upwards through the shovel, and with a snap, it knocked the foreign object away.
First it was the "Sky-lifting Sword Style", and then the "Cloud-rushing Fight". In a flash, Gu Jiu performed the two sword moves as smoothly as flowing water, as if he had practiced them many times.
The feeling of performing the moves at will was like an instinctive reaction for Gu Jiu, and it came easily to him.
At this time, Gu Jiucai turned around and raised his head, and found that it was a straw man with a big bloody mouth.
For some reason, he always felt that the straw man was covered with flesh and blood.
With a bang, the straw man's body hit the roof beam with a dull sound, and then fell down.
At the moment when the straw man was about to hit the bronze mirror, it suddenly kicked its legs and pounced towards Gu Jiu like a frog.
Seeing this, Gu Jiu suddenly raised the shovel in his hand, then sank it down, and with a bang, it hit the straw man's cheek.
After being hit, the attacking straw man flew out like a cannonball, smashing the dressing table into pieces. Even the bronze mirror behind it flew out and slammed into the wall.
Gu Jiu raised his hand and saw that the shovel surface had been completely deformed and twisted into a twisted shape.
This was the strike he made after the shovel had been infused with the essence of heaven and earth. If he had attacked directly, the shovel would have shattered into pieces.
