142: The Courtyard of the Dead(2/2)
"Captain, my sword will not let you down. You just said someone wants to be the commander, who is it?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"Of course they are the two great edicts." The mountain chief said: "Gong Yao, the high-ranking priest of the God of Winter, wants to be the mountain chief, as does Liu Hanfeng from the National Preceptor's Mansion."
"If they are not from the Yama Way, can they still be the mountain chief?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"Whether you can handle it or not, you have to do it to know." As the mountain leader spoke, he came to a place with lights ahead.
If Lou Jinchen hadn't been told that this was the world of the dead, he wouldn't have thought there was anything strange about the light, because the light was like a lonely farmyard. The lights in that small yard were withered and yellow, and this was the darkness.
The only light in the room.
The two of them got closer step by step, and the small courtyard and lights that looked like those in a painting slowly became clearer in Lou Jinchen's eyes.
Lou Jinchen didn't make a sound, he was looking at the yard.
When approaching the yard, the two came to the door. The door was locked. The mountain chief actually took out the key and opened the door. Lou Jinchen followed him in, stretched out his hand to touch the door, and stretched out his finger.
A click on the door.
He picked off some sawdust and rubbed it between his fingertips. The sawdust flew away like dust.
A depressing little courtyard.
The light came from inside that room, and Lou Jinchen felt like it was a prison.
There were windows there, with window paper on them, and lights in the room. Suddenly, a figure jumped on the window and looked out through the broken window hole.
They were a pair of eyes full of lifelessness. This was the first time Lou Jinchen looked at such a dead man's eyes so carefully.
He saw only negative emotions from these eyes.
The eyes of a living person, no matter what, always have a kind of vitality in them, and when these eyes are looked at, it seems as if the body is slowly dying.
Lou Jinchen didn't look too much, but looked at the three rooms and said, "Didn't you say that only two mountain chiefs were imprisoned here? Why are there three rooms?"
"Because there is a room here for myself," the mountain leader said.
"Oh, what should we do now? Go in directly?" Lou Jinchen asked.
He always felt that things shouldn't be so easy.
"Of course, as long as you open this door and kill the person in the room who deserves to die but refuses to die completely, this trip will be over and the hidden dangers of the entire Imperial Academy will be eliminated." There was something in the voice of the mountain chief.
I felt a little excited, as if my long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled.
Lou Jinchen was deep in thought, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he said: "Chief, can I kill you?"
"I have never seen an outstanding young man like you, Xiaolou, you can do it," the mountain leader said.
So Lou Jinchen took two steps forward and slowly drew out his sword.
The chant of the sword circulated in the silence, and the aura on his body became weaker and weaker, but the sword seemed to be of great weight, and it seemed to be hiding a ray of moon, and it needed to be pulled out carefully, and the light was shining in this small courtyard.
shine.
No more today. I originally wanted to update it properly today, but it’s a holiday. My friend asked me to go out for a drink. If I don’t drink too much, I’ll come back and continue writing.
At the end of the month, I sincerely wish you all your wishes come true and all the best.
Chapter completed!
