Chapter 200 Haunted (Part [-])

The sudden sound of the horn made everyone under the eaves tremble.

Du Yuan and Geng Jia in the courtyard were even more vigilant, watching the movement around them nervously.

Du Yuan couldn't help but ask:
"Teacher, can you see the ghost?"

Geng Jia shook his head:

"Master, I can't see anything."

At this time, Geng Mingchuan said:
"Everyone, don't panic! This is the sound of the horn for the arrival of guests in my Gengjiabao, which means that there are guests coming!"

Geng Jia was full of surprise:

"It's been so long at night, and there are still guests here? Dad, could it be a ghost?"

"This..." Geng Mingchuan is not too sure, after all, pedestrians basically disappear after nightfall, and no one will rush in this generation of ghostly darkness.

Geng Jia held the Xihe fruit and the bronze mirror tightly in his hands:
"Whether he is a man or a ghost, let's go and have a look!"

Geng Mingchuan also had the same idea, and now he summoned the guards in Gengjiabao, and they went towards the gate of Wubao together.

Jiang Yuan glanced at Han Chao and Yuan He, and followed Geng Mingchuan and his party.

The people in the living room and the small courtyard disappeared immediately, only the gray-black ghost alcove remained quietly in the courtyard, which looked particularly gloomy.

A group of people walked up to the wall of Wubao in a mighty manner, and looked towards the dark wilderness outside Wubao by the light of the fire on the wall.

In the south, there were three figures coming towards Wubao in the dark. They walked in strange postures, staggering and fast.

Geng Mingchuan raised his hand and made a gesture towards the tall sentry tower.

All of a sudden, there was a crisp bowstring sound from the sentry tower, and a rocket was fired from the sentry tower, heading towards the top of the three people in the distance.

The burning rocket passed over the heads of the three people in the distance, and nailed to the ground in the distance.

In the fleeting light of the flames, everyone on the wall could finally see clearly that three young men, two men and one woman, were rushing towards the sentry tower.

The three young men were covered in blood, and one of the men appeared to be injured, and the other two were able to walk on their shoulders.

Under the gaze of everyone, the three young men quickly came under the Wubao, only to hear someone shouting loudly towards the Wubao:

"Put down the portcullis quickly!"

Everyone in Wubao looked at Geng Mingchuan, as if glaring at his decision.

After all, these three blood-stained people in the dark night are too weird, it's hard to tell whether they are people or ghosts.

Jiang Yuan frowned:
"People from the Blue family."

From these three young people, Jiang Yuan felt the breath of the power of the Lan family's inheritance.

It was something Jiang Yuan had never thought of meeting a child of the Lan family here.

Geng Mingchuan looked at Du Yuan and Geng Jia at this moment, as if waiting for their opinions.

I saw Geng Jia raised the Xihe fruit in his hand high, and then crushed it violently.

Dazzling light instantly lit up from the city wall, and also shone on the three people under Wubao.

Suddenly, someone from the three of them cursed loudly:

"What are you doing? Presumptuous! Don't open the door again! Don't blame us for breaking in!"

The light in the dark night quickly disappeared, making it difficult for everyone to adapt to the coming darkness.

The three people under Wubao did not change, which also made everyone feel relieved. It seemed that it was not a ghost.

At this time, steward Zhao whispered to Geng Mingchuan:
"Master, look at their costumes, it looks like the group of people who occupied the iron mine"

As a martial artist, Geng Jia has sensitive ears, even though Butler Zhao's voice was very low, she could still hear her clearly.She suddenly asked suspiciously:

"Mine? What mine?"

Butler Zhao explained embarrassingly:
"Miss, you don't know that you have been away from home for many years. There is a mine in the south that is rich in iron ore, and it is also one of the iron ore suppliers in our Wubao. Prices are skyrocketing, and even roses are getting more expensive every day.”

Geng Jia continued to wonder:
"Guishi? Is it the main formula of Guishi powder? Could it be that the gemstone is also produced in that mine?"

Butler Zhao nodded.

Du Yuan's old face was full of doubts, obviously he was also aware of this for the first time.

Jiang Yuan's heart was also moved when he heard this. He had heard from Master Geng that the weapon with the mysterious runes sold in Gengjiabao seemed to come from that mine.

This made Jiang Yuan more curious about the mine. He didn't know what was so mysterious about it. Not only could it produce strange things like gems and rune weapons, but it was even occupied by people from the Lan family.

At this time, Geng Mingchuan shouted to Wubao:
"The three came from afar, what is the purpose of coming?"

I only heard a young man under Wubao say angrily:

"What trouble! Watch me climb up the wall and open this broken door!"

But then a female voice sounded:
"Don't mess around! Don't forget our purpose!"

Then the young man snorted coldly and remained silent.

And the woman shouted to the top of the Wubao wall:
"May I ask if this place is Geng's Fort or Pang's Fort? The three of us encountered an accident and our companion was injured. Please ask your castle to lower the suspension bridge and let us stay overnight!"

Geng Mingchuan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Du Yuan and Geng Jia again.

If it was daytime, Geng Mingchuan would have put down the suspension bridge to warmly welcome the guests.

But now it's night, and the other three are covered in blood, no one knows what will happen.

But Geng Jia said disapprovingly:

"There are only three of them, and they are not ghosts. Just let them in. With Master and I around, I don't believe they can do anything!"

Hearing what his daughter said, Geng Mingchuan felt relieved, and ordered his servants to lower the suspension bridge.

As the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, Geng Mingchuan led the crowd to the gate of Wubao, ready to welcome the three of them to enter.

The three people outside Wubao also walked in quickly, a man and a woman drove a man who seemed to be almost unconscious, and appeared in the sight of everyone.

Jiang Yuan quietly observed the three Lan family children, observing their every move.

There was a hint of fear in the expressions of the man and woman who were still awake. They looked back at the night outside the dock from time to time, as if they were worried that something terrifying was chasing them.

The injured man had a big hole in his chest, and the flesh, bones and internal organs inside were clearly visible.

However, the man did not die. His wound still showed signs of trying to heal, but a trace of black air appeared around the wound, making it impossible for the wound to heal itself.

Jiang Yuan was very familiar with that black air, it was ghost air.

Seeing such a shocking injury, the people in Gengjiabao all looked surprised.

Du Yuan whispered a few questions to Geng Jia who was beside him. After receiving Geng Jia's answer and description, Du Yuan's old face was thoughtful.

The three people who entered outside Wubao seemed unwilling to get too entangled with the crowd, and only heard the man say coldly:
"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and prepare a room for us, as well as clean water and charcoal fire!"

The man's tone was arrogant, and he had no sense of being a guest at all.

The faces of the people in the Gengjiabao were not happy, no matter what, Gengjiabao allowed them to stay here, and this man was so rude.

Geng Mingchuan smiled, and didn't mind it, he immediately ordered his servants to lead the three of them to the guest room.

After hosting the Gengjiabao for so many years, Geng Mingchuan has never seen such a person. Among the people in the Jianghu who come and go, there are many people with perverted tempers.

But the woman suddenly asked Geng Mingchuan:
"You are the castle owner? May I ask how far is this place from Dan City? And in your castle, have you ever invited ghosts?"

Geng Mingchuan looked at his mouth and replied:
"We are two days away from Pill City, and we also invite ghosts in our Gengjiabao. But don't panic the three honored guests. I have invited ghosts in Gengjiabao for many years, but there has never been any mistakes, let alone no guests. got in trouble."

After hearing Geng Mingchuan's answer, the two still sober Lan family children looked at each other, their faces not very good-looking.

But in the end, they didn't say anything, they just left with the servants and headed towards the guest room.

Watching the three Lan family children go away, Jiang Yuan became more and more interested in all this:

"What are they doing here? And what is it that scares them?"

As the three of them left, the people in Gengjiabao also began to talk about how to deal with these three weird people.

Some suggested that they should be expelled, others suggested that they should be treated well, and still others suggested that they should be strictly monitored and guarded against.

In the end, I only heard Du Yuan say:
"Those three people, you'd better not provoke them."

Du Yuan has a special status and is the most important guest of Gengjiabao.As soon as he opened his mouth, his opinions immediately became unified.

Geng Mingchuan immediately accepted Du Yuan's opinion, and ordered his servants to treat the three strangers well, and at the same time not to probe into their privacy.

And Geng Mingchuan also asked Du Yuan about the identities of the three people, but Du Yuan smiled and didn't speak, and didn't answer.

Right now, Gengjiabao could only close the gate, and everyone began to return to the living room.

When the group returned to the small courtyard in front of the living room, Jiang Yuan noticed something strange.

The gloomy gray-black ghost alcove in the courtyard was still standing quietly, but Jiang Yuan keenly felt a trace of ghost aura from the ghost altar.

And when Geng Jia came to the ghost niche, he also noticed something strange:

"Master! The human blood in the ghost niche is gone!"

Such a change made people tense up immediately.

Geng Mingchuan's expression changed slightly:

"It's the ghost that came! Xiao Jia, let's not touch that ghost, shall we? After all, there is a ghost, and others dare not easily attack Gengjiabao. It can also protect Gengjiabao from other ghosts at night." .”

Geng Jia shook his head and said:
"Father! For as long as that ghost stays in my Gengjiabao, we have to use living people to worship it for a day. I can't agree with such an approach! After Gengjiabao, I will guard it!"

Du Yuan also opened his mouth and said:
"Master Geng, offering sacrifices to ghosts will not save Geng's Castle. Haven't you heard of the tragedy of Pang's House? When Xiao Jia and I came here, we passed by Pang's House. We saw the situation there very clearly. "

"This..." Geng Mingchuan couldn't help being shaken again when he heard about Pangjiabao.

Jiang Yuan had already begun to lose his patience, he watched these people busy for a long time, but he couldn't even see the shadow of the ghost.

It seems that Du Yuan and Geng Jia can't count on them. If they want to find the ghosts to hunt, they have to rely on themselves.

Moreover, he was also very curious about the three Lan family children. Jiang Yuan planned to find out some useful information from them before killing them.

Immediately, Jiang Yuan said:
"Lord Gengbao, it's getting late and we're tired, please send someone to take us down to rest."
