Chapter 270: Night Tour of Lu Mansion
It was late at night, the moon was high in the sky, Meng Ning was sleeping soundly, but a figure suddenly appeared outside the window.
Meng Ning sensed something and opened his eyes blearily. In the moonlight, he saw a motionless figure reflected on the window paper.
Seeing this scene, Meng Ning's heart skipped a beat and his sleepiness instantly disappeared.
Countless horror stories flashed through his mind, such as ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, female ghosts with painted skin, and zombies demanding lives...
Meng Ning swallowed and asked bravely, "Who?"
It was quiet outside the window, no response.
There was only the rustling sound of leaves in the evening breeze.
Meng Ning's heart beat faster and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Something is wrong.
There's something wrong about eleven or twelve out of ten.
Suddenly he changed his mind and thought, that’s not right, I have merged with all the evil things in the world, who could be more evil than me?
What am I afraid of?
Thinking of this, he used his magical power, and the next second, he appeared outside the window, standing behind the black shadow.
In the moonlight, the black shadow turned around, revealing a familiar face.
It’s Hao Guang!
wipe....
Meng Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you here playing tricks on me so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Hao Guang scratched his head, with a look of confusion on his face: "I don't know what happened, Tong Yueling suddenly flashed non-stop."
"Then why didn't you respond when I called you?" Meng Ning continued to ask unhappily.
"Hey, I just want to scare you."
Haoguang’s answer was still naughty.
Forget it. Meng Ning felt helpless about this little junior brother. He really didn't know why he was so naughty now when he would be so reliable in the future.
"The same moonlight flashes, that means Jiang Mingzi is looking for you, what else can you do?"
Meng Ning said casually.
"Not Jiang Mingzi."
Hao Guang shook his head and took out Tong Yueling.
The palm-sized token was emitting a faint light, but there was no image displayed.
"The same moon order flashes, but there is no picture. This situation has never happened before." Hao Guang frowned. "Moreover, the direction of the flashing light seems to point to the inside of Lu Mansion."
Meng Ning was stunned, then took the Tong Yueling and examined it carefully.
Just as Hao Guang said, although the light of Tong Yue Ling was weak, it pointed firmly towards the depths of Lu Mansion.
"Is there something in this Lu Mansion?" Meng Ning muttered.
"I don't know, so I came to find you." Hao Guang looked confused.
"Let's go and take a look." Meng Ning became interested.
Then, Meng waved his hand, and faint ripples appeared around him. The light was distorted, and he and Hao Guang's figures disappeared into the night, as if the moonlight had covered the two of them with a hazy veil.
"Brother, what kind of method is this? It doesn't seem to be the technique of our Three True Sect." Touching the veil on his body, Haoguang's voice was filled with a hint of surprise.
"I borrowed it from somewhere else. It's called the Illusion Body Barrier. It's used to conceal your body shape." Meng Ning's voice came from the air with a hint of pride.
"How's it going? Not bad, right? I'll teach you next time when I'm free."
"Senior brother, don't keep it to yourself!" A bright figure followed closely behind.
"Don't worry, you'll be there." Meng Ning chuckled.
"But, brother, is it really okay for us to do this in the middle of the night like thieves?" Hao Guang's voice was hesitant.
"What do you mean by like a thief? We are from the Three True Sects, and the Lu family invited us here to remove the corpse and protect their safety.
What we are doing now is to investigate secretly and protect everyone from behind, just like Batman."
"What is Batman?"
"You don't understand foreign languages."
"Cut~~"
Under the moonlight, the two of them used the cover of the phantom barrier to move around in the Lu Mansion.
The Lu Mansion is worthy of being the residence of the richest man in the world, with pavilions, towers, rockery and ponds, luxury is everywhere.
Carved beams and painted buildings, jade-paved and red railings, everything as far as the eye can see is embellished with gold and silver.
Courtyards are nested within courtyards, corridors are connected to corridors, and the winding paths lead to secluded places, like a maze.
"Brother, why does it feel like the Lu Mansion is bigger at night than during the day?" Hao Guang exclaimed.
"That's because we didn't finish our walk during the day. Lu Dahai is the richest man in Yangzhou City. It's not surprising that his house is bigger and more complicated."
To be honest, it was the first time that Meng Ning saw such a complicated house, and he secretly complained in his heart.
He used to always hear adults say that servants in some wealthy families would take maps a few days before going to work, but he was disdainful of it.
It’s just a house, with a few more rooms at most, why do you need a map?
Now he understood that this was not just a house, it was half of Yangzhou city!
"Senior Brother, look at the rockery over there. Does it look like a big turtle?" Hao Guang said, pointing to a rockery in the distance.
"It's a bit similar. Lu Dahai has a very unique taste." Meng Ning nodded.
"Senior brother, look at the pond over there, the fish in it are almost becoming spirits!" Hao Guang said, pointing to another pond.
"This fish is indeed too fat. It's obvious that they eat too well." Meng Ning sighed.
The two of them walked and stopped along the way, admiring the scenery of the Lu Mansion, and unknowingly came to a well.
The same month order flashed in his hand, the light was brighter than ever before.
"Looks like this is it." Meng Ning said.
"Brother, it's so cold, do we really have to go down?"
Hao Guang looked at the dark wellhead and shuddered.
"What else? Now that we're here, we can't give up halfway." Meng Ning rubbed his hands.
"But, senior brother, I'm afraid of the cold!" Haoguang shrank his neck.
"Afraid of cold? You are a cultivator, and you are afraid of cold? You are not allowed to be afraid!" Meng Ning glared at Hao Guang.
"Senior brother, my cultivation is still shallow..." Hao Guang smiled embarrassedly.
"Stop talking nonsense and get down quickly! I'll cover you." Meng Ning urged.
"Senior brother, you go down first. I'll keep watch for you!" Hao Guang's eyes turned.
"You wish! Forget it, let's go together!"
Meng Ning grabbed Hao Guang's wrist and jumped into the well.
The well water was icy cold, and the two men fell into the water, causing a splash.
The cold well water flowed into his clothes through the gaps, making Meng Ning shiver and his teeth chatter.
Hao Guang was not in a much better condition. His lips were frozen purple and he couldn't utter a word.
Exhaling a breath of cold air, the two of them braved the cold and walked down the wall of the well. A dark path appeared before them.
"Let's go." Meng Ning swam over first.
"Wait for me!" Hao Guang followed closely behind.
Then the two of them used their hands and feet and swam hard along the trail forward. The dazzling light of the same moon flashed, illuminating the road ahead.
After swimming for about five minutes, the view in front of them suddenly became clear and a huge cave appeared in front of them.
