Worship tomorrow

Chapter 99

Jingci Courtyard.

In the living room, the fourth lady Ruan Huiying was still sitting at the table sipping tea.

The maids were clearing the table in the side hall and cleaning the house.

Time passed little by little.

After all the maids and servants had left and the night was getting darker, Ruan Huiying stood up and walked out.

She stood in the corridor, thought for a moment, turned to look to the side and said, "I want to go to the Guanyin Hall in the back to burn incense. Just two of you can follow me."

After saying that, she walked down the steps.

Several female guards looked at each other, and two of them followed behind.

Two maids were carrying lanterns and lighting the way in front.

An old nun followed with a cloak.

The group of people walked out of the gate and walked towards the garden behind.

Passing through the garden, there is a bamboo forest behind.

Several people stepped on the soft bamboo leaves and continued to move forward.

At this time, Ruan Huiying suddenly turned her head, looked at a female guard behind her and said, "You must be new here, right? Have you been to the Guanyin Hall behind here?"

One of the people following behind was Nightingale, who was dressed in a white shirt and red skirt.

Nightingale lowered her head slightly and said respectfully: "This subordinate is indeed new here. The chief steward said that this is the place behind where Madam worships Guanyin. Others cannot come over casually. I have never been here before."

Ruan Huiying showed a hint of self-mockery on her face: "A place to worship Guanyin is just a place to seek peace of mind. If Guanyin really has a spirit, why would my child have to suffer like this all his life."

Nightingale said no more.

Passing through the bamboo forest, a small courtyard with red walls and green tiles appeared in front.

The three characters "Guanyin Hall" are written on the gate of the courtyard.

It was dark and silent inside.

The old woman holding the cloak walked over first and opened the door.

Two maids carried lanterns and walked in front with their heads lowered.

Ruan Huiying walked in solemnly.

When Nightingale entered the door, she paused and released something behind her with her right hand.

But after she entered the door, a figure suddenly jumped out of the big tree next to her. With a flash of cold light in her hand, she chopped down what she had just released.

"Squeak..."

The door is closed.

In the courtyard, the moonlight was shining, and it was cool and quiet.

The old grandma entered the house first and lit the oil lamps and candles inside.

The hall was suddenly illuminated.

On the high platform in the middle of the hall, there is a stone statue of Guanyin. In front of the statue is an altar with some fruits and incense burners placed on it.

Ruan Huiying entered the room, lit the incense burner first, then took some sandalwood sticks, lit them in her hands, and then knelt down in front of the Guanyin statue.

The two maids retreated to the corner of the hall.

Nightingale and another female guard stood outside the door, one on the left and one on the right.

At this time, the old nun said in the room: "Both guards, please come in. It's cold with the door open. Madam takes a long time to burn incense, sometimes it may take all night."

Nightingale and the other guard looked at each other and had no choice but to enter the room.

The old grandma came over and closed the door.

There was smoke in the room and the heater was turned on.

Ruan Huiying knelt on the ground, holding incense in both hands, lowered her head, and was silent for a long time. Fang slowly raised her head, looked at Guanyin in front of her, and said in a deep voice: "What kind of evil did my child do? God wants to treat him like this." he?"

No one responded.

The entire hall was silent.

Ruan Huiying looked at the Guanyin statue again and knelt for a long time until the sandalwood in her hand burned out. Then she slowly lowered her head and closed her eyes, as if she was making a wish.

The night passed quietly.

Outside the house, it was already early morning.

After a long time, Ruan Huiying raised her head and murmured in a low voice: "Since God won't save my child, then I will save it myself... I am not wrong, it is not me who is wrong..."

"Of course it's not you who's wrong..."

At this time, a man's hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind the Guanyin statue.

Immediately, a man wearing a black robe and a mask slowly walked out from behind the Guanyin statue.

"Bang!"

Nightingale and another female guard changed their expressions and immediately pulled out the knife from their waists.

"who?"

Another female guard asked.

The man wearing the mask walked out from the shadow of the Guanyin statue and stood under the light in front of the altar. He glanced at the two of them and did not answer. He said calmly: "Fourth Madam, today's woman is not bad, very good." ...especially the one on the left..."

His eyes fell on Nightingale's tall and graceful figure and her beautiful and cold face, and an evil smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"I love so much……"

His voice was hoarse.

Ruan Huiying was still kneeling on the ground, looking at him calmly and saying, "How is my child?"

The man wearing the mask stared at the beautiful female guard in front of him for a while, then said: "Very good, a woman's Yuan Yin is a great tonic, especially a beautiful woman's Yuan Yin. I like it, and so does he. …”

Ruan Huiying lowered her head slightly and said, "She is a cultivator at the Demon Suppressing Academy."

As soon as these words came out, Nightingale was startled and suddenly stepped back a few steps, approaching the window behind her.

But at this moment, she suddenly discovered that the star power that was still surging in her body suddenly stopped.

At the same time, she began to feel weak and weak, and her breathing became rapid, as if a fire rose from her lower abdomen and quickly burned throughout her body.

The same goes for another female guard.

Nightingale was frightened and hurriedly turned around to push open the window, but found that the window was tightly closed and she had no strength to push it. Her feet felt weak, and she suddenly leaned against the wall and slid down helplessly.

Her heart suddenly sank into the bottomless abyss.

"You...you are demons?"

The man wearing the mask had a strange smile on his face, and his eyes under the mask gradually turned scarlet.

He didn't answer, just smiled ferociously, raised his feet, and walked towards her step by step.

Nightingale turned pale and said in a trembling voice, "You...who are you?"

The man's scarlet eyes shone with covetous light, and he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Who I am is not important. You just need to know that we will be integrated soon. Don't be afraid, it will be soon..."

Nightingale tremblingly raised the knife in her hand, gritted her teeth and said, "You...don't even think about it..."

At this time, the fourth lady, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly said: "She is from the Demon Suppressing Academy. Will she cause trouble to my children?"

The man did not answer, but stopped in front of Nightingale, then stretched out his finger, flicked it, and with a "clang", the short knife in Nightingale's hand fell to the ground.

"The people from the Demon Suppressing Academy are better, I'm more excited..."

He laughed evilly, stretched out his hand, and suddenly black mist filled his hand, and he pinched Nightingale's neck directly.

At this moment, with a "whoosh" sound, a sharp arrow suddenly flew out from the corner next to him and shot towards his throat!

The man's expression changed, and his outstretched hand suddenly turned around, and with a "pop" sound, he accurately grabbed the sharp arrow!

The sharp arrow suddenly disappeared in his hand.

At this time, a maid walked out of the corner. It was one of the maids who had just been carrying a lantern to illuminate the room.

At this moment, she was holding a green jade bow in her hand, and a sharp arrow that looked like it was made of gold was already on the string.

On the tip of the sharp arrow, there was a faint green light flashing.

"Did you finally show up?"

The maid's voice was actually the voice of Tang Wu from the Wind Team.

The man's eyes suddenly looked at the fourth lady who was kneeling on the ground, and the corners of his mouth gradually cracked: "You betrayed me."

Ruan Huiying slowly stood up from the ground, looked at him with hatred, gritted her teeth and said: "I just don't want to be fooled by you anymore! You won't help me save my child at all, you will only slowly Pull him into the bottomless abyss, and then he becomes just like you, not like a human, not like a ghost..."

The man's voice was hoarse and cold: "He can't look back. If you do this, you will kill him."

Ruan Huiying smiled sadly and said: "I would rather he die now than see him become like this again, living by cannibalism... That is not a human being, not a ghost, and not my child." …”

Black mist rose from the man's body, and he stared at her sinisterly and said, "So, you have already colluded with these demon slayers?"

Tang Wu said in a cold voice: "Is this called collusion? You and him are called collusion. No, you are just using her. You just want to destroy her and her son step by step. What kind of hatred and hatred do you have? Why bother to do this?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the arrow in her hand suddenly shot out.

At the same time, the man suddenly flashed and pounced on Ruan Huiying who was nearest.

At this moment, the old nanny suddenly appeared from behind Ruan Huiying and slapped him in the face.

The man hurriedly punched out.

"boom!"

Both of them were shocked.

When the old nanny was retreating, she had already pulled away Ruan Huiying in front of her.

At this time, Tang Wu's arrow arrived again.

Without any hesitation, the man suddenly jumped and landed next to the Guanyin statue. Then he waved his hand and threw up a cloud of black smoke with a bang, which instantly filled the air and obscured everyone's sight.

Tang Wu was about to chase after him, but suddenly he remembered something, and immediately ducked in front of Nightingale to protect him. At the same time, he turned to face the outside and shouted: "A Tian, ​​A Jing, guard the outside!"

"Roger that!"

Liu Tiantian's voice came from outside.

Nightingale still felt weak all over and couldn't stand up, so she said, "Captain, am I poisoned?"

Tang Wu looked in the direction of the fourth lady and asked, "What's going on?"

The fourth lady said in the smoke: "The water that these guards drank is poisonous. It should be a drug. It will only happen three hours later. He gave it to me. I have his people there. If I don't do this, he will It won’t come out.”

Tang Wu suddenly asked: "Do you know who he is?"

The fourth lady sighed and said: "I don't know, I have never seen his face, but his height and temperament..."

Tang Wu suddenly said: "It's somewhat similar to the butler, right?"

The fourth lady said: "Yes, but he is a man..."

Tang Wu suddenly stood up and pushed open the window, took out another pill and stuffed it into Nightingale's mouth, saying: "Aying, you stay here first, let's go after him! This time, we must not let him run away! "

After saying that, she immediately pushed away the remaining smoke in front of her with a palm, and her figure flashed behind the Guanyin statue.

The fourth lady said: "Every time he comes out from there and takes the maids away..."

"boom!"

At this moment, Tang Wu suddenly punched the back of the Guanyin statue.

The entire Guanyin statue suddenly burst open, and a big hole appeared behind it. It was so dark inside that it was impossible to see the bottom.

At this time, the door was suddenly kicked open.

Liu Tiantian and Yang Jing suddenly rushed in.

"Captain, where are the people? There are none outside!"

Tang Wu picked up the oil lamp from the table, walked behind the stone platform and said, "There is a cave in the Guanyin statue. He should have entered from here. There should be other exits inside. Ah Tian, ​​go to the attic in front immediately. , look at the small courtyard houses around, and others will go in with me."

Liu Tiantian immediately agreed and rushed out.

After Tang Wu finished speaking, he already took the oil lamp and got into the cave first.

Yang Jing, Zhang Nan and Zhang Bei immediately followed.

In the main hall, it became quiet.

Nightingale sat on the ground for a while and found that she seemed to have regained some strength.

She held on to the wall and stood up slowly.

At this time, the fourth lady, Ruan Huiying, walked towards her step by step from the corner, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her voice suddenly changed to the voice of the masked man just now, hoarsely: "Okay, They are all gone, and now, we are the only ones left here. I said, I want to be integrated with you..."

Nightingale was shocked.
