After a moment, Chen Bin and his group rushed to the appointment as agreed.

As soon as they arrived nearby, they found blood on the ground and steps around the pavilion.

At this time, Li Taiyuan, whose skin was blooming, was sitting beside the pavilion, grinning and applying medicine to his arms.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to surround him and asked what had happened just now. As a nurse, Ruan Zhuyin quickly took out the bandages and medicines for stopping bleeding from her bag and treated Li Taiyuan's wounds.

"It's okay, I'm just attacked by evil spirits."

Li Taiyuan glanced at Qiao An. Through eye contact, he understood that the other party had successfully convinced Chen Bin.

"Brother, don't show off. Can you still act if you are so injured?" Li Yonghao came over.

Ning Tonghai was more concerned about the little devil mentioned by the other party just now, and quickly asked Li Taiyuan what was going on in the Bai Mansion.

Taking advantage of the gap between Ruan Zhuyin bandaging herself, Li Taiyuan told everyone in detail about what happened before.

However, he deliberately concealed the things that everyone is reborn and is experiencing a cycle.

Several times Qiao An was so anxious that he wanted to remind Li Taiyuan, but he was always ignored by the other party.

Before the end of the previous round of cycle, the two had already agreed that he would tell Chen Bin the secret first; when the time was right, Li Taiyuan would personally explain the time cycle to everyone.

But now seeing the other party without mentioning it, not only Qiao An was confused, but even Chen Bin was confused.

On the other hand, Wei Yixi and others, who were unaware of it, were still digesting the information shared by Li Taiyuan.

"What do you mean is that the mulberry tree in the East Courtyard is the real big boss. Next, we have to go to the Baoyun Building in the North Courtyard to find three demon sealing nails to solve it?"

Ruan Zhuyin's mind was very fast. She said a few words to herself, then frowned and raised her doubts:

"No. Those three nails are still white...the remains of the female ghost are sealed. If they are pulled out, wouldn't they be released?"

"Well. So we have to go to the mourning hall to take out Bai Ruoyan's human skin and use it to seal the corpse."

With Qiao An's support, Li Taiyuan slowly stood up and distributed the blood cloth left to him when Bai Ruoyan had dissipated to everyone.

Judging from Bai Ruoyan's method of repelling the ghost boy just now, the saint's blood also has the effect of repelling evil spirits.

Bai Ruoyan deliberately left these blood cloths to help them enter the North Courtyard smoothly.

The group passed through the West Courtyard, and there was a thick gray and white mist floating around, and the air was filled with a humid and fishy smell.

The surroundings were silent, as if there were no living things in the huge Bai Mansion.

However, as she walked, Ruan Zhuyin suddenly stopped. She looked in a certain direction in confusion and asked her companions if they had heard anything.

In a vague way, everyone heard the sound of rubbing and rubbing.

"It seems to be the sound of leaves. There are too many trees in this yard." Ning Tonghai said unconsciously.

"But there is no wind at all now, so where does it come from?" Chen Bin's words immediately made everyone more alert.

"Be careful, you're near the mulberry tree."

Li Taiyuan reminded everyone, and then shone the lightning around.

At this time, the trees in the entire East Courtyard were filled with a gloomy and sickly dark green, and the movement around them became increasingly louder and louder. The rustling shadows of the trees made a rustling sound, like the rising and falling waves.

"Look, someone!"

At this moment, Qiao An suddenly discovered that more than a dozen shaking figures lined up in a long line, passing through the corridor in turn, and leaning towards the east courtyard.

Judging from the dress of these people, they are the servants of the Bai Mansion.

When the servants approached, everyone was terrified to find that their bodies were penetrated by a thick vine, connected like a string of candied haws.

The people rolled their eyes, as if they couldn't feel the pain, lined up to the mulberry tree in the east courtyard with mechanical stiff steps, opened their mouths and looked up at the top.

Li Taiyuan looked around briefly, but fortunately, there were no Chuntao and Huixiang among these people.

At this moment, the surface of the mulberry tree is dead, and the trunks are still faintly burning.

After detecting the breath of blood, countless thick branches stretched out from the tree like tentacles.

The branches drilled into the throat along the mouths of the people below. As their bodies twitched violently, the originally filled skin surface and abdominal cavity quickly collapsed, leaving only a thin layer of skin covering the bones.

There was only a few crisp "clicks" sounds, and dozens of thin bodies and feet were off the ground, wrapped in dense branches, and pulled onto the tree.

The dense heads of people surrounded the treetops, allowing the mulberry trees to eat their bodies, but there was still a satisfied smile on their faces, as if they were immersed in some beautiful dream.

At this time, Wei Yixi noticed that the two ends of the branches of the mulberry tree gradually began to change, and two huge black fruits were born.

The fruit gave birth to two burnt children's faces.

As the flesh and blood absorbs, they gradually gather together and form. At first glance, they look like two disgusting deformed fetuses.

At this moment, the eyes of the ghost boy and the virgin were burned. They clenched their fists tightly to protect their chests, their limbs curled up, like newborn fetuses, and pink new flesh could be seen under the cracked and burnt black skin.

"Go away now."

Chen Bin frowned and looked at the scene in front of him, knowing that they can't do anything now.

If they continue to delay, they will not be able to fight against them even after the mulberry tree essence absorbs enough flesh and blood and energy to recover.

The group quickly arrived at the North Courtyard.

Li Taiyuan stepped forward and pushed open the empty door and led everyone into the yard.

He described the specific location of the mourning hall in detail to Chen Bin, and the people divided the troops into two groups and agreed to gather here after they got the things.

Although both of the ghost boys have been severely injured, they should not come out to cause trouble in a short period of time; but the time that Bai Ruoyan can afford to Li Taiyuan is still limited, and they must find two sealing magic weapons as soon as possible.

Although Chen Bin did not understand Li Taiyuan's motives, he did not point it out.

After repeated measurements, he decided to divide everyone into two groups of actions according to Li Taiyuan's plan:

Qiao An and Li Yonghao followed him into the North Courtyard Mourning Hall to find Bai Ruoyan's peeled skin; the rest went to Baoyun Tower with Li Taiyuan to search for the whereabouts of the Demon-Captaining Nails and the Wreckage of the Female Ghost.

Before they parted, Qiao An looked back at Li Taiyuan again, but found that the other party was staring at him.

The expression on his face clearly said, I know what you are thinking.

"Forget it, since he did this, there must be his reason. Everyone is a companion, so believe in his decision."

Chen Bin walked to Qiao An and whispered as he looked at the other person's back as he left.

Through the corridor and the complex gardens, Li Taiyuan took Wei Yixi and others to an extremely secluded corner of the North Courtyard.

The ancient house building in front of me is tall and solemn, covered by multi-layer curved glazed tiles. Each eaves are carved with lifelike spiritual snake totems. Even the locks on the door are shaped like this, making Ruan Zhuyin's hair look fur.

Li Taiyuan took out the key, inserted it into the lock core and rotated slowly.

Accompanied by the rumbling mechanical rotation, two extremely heavy copper doors slowly opened under the traction of the gears.

The dull air seemed to condense time. Li Taiyuan took the lead in the house, and the smell of old wood and dust came to his face.

The white flashlights projected on the dark walls through the swaying shadows. The tall bookshelf on the left and right sides were neatly arranged, and the wooden bookshelf was filled with heavy scrolls and some ancient parchment scrolls.

Wei Yixi's eyes lit up. She, who was already interested in folk culture, saw this scene and immediately rushed to the shelf, flipped through the parchment with a flashlight in her mouth and looked at the parchment rolls.

"There may be the real reason why the Bai family escaped from the world and hid in Youmiao Mountain in these ancient books. Ah Yin, please help me find it."

Wei Yixi was too busy to get busy and quickly called out his partner.

Li Taiyuan and Ning Tonghai continued to move forward, passing through the layers of bookshelf, and they also found many antiques from the ages in Baoyun Tower.

In the center of this building, there is a huge open space.

The blue-gray marble surface was carved with a weaving snake entrenched on the locust wood. Seeing this pattern, Li Taiyuan hurriedly approached and bent down to rub the uneven surface carefully.

Soon, he found that the relief at the position of the snake's pupil was different from other places. Pressing hard, the stone sank slightly and could move.

Li Taiyuan signaled Ning Tonghai to stand aside, exerted force with his arms, and pressed the mechanism down.

The blue-gray marble floor under her feet suddenly began to shake, and with a dull loud noise, a pitch-black step appeared under the stone wall.

The steps extend infinitely downward, and there is no end at all.

"What's the taste--"

Ning Tonghai's sense of smell was very sensitive. The moment he opened the door, he smelled a strong smell of rotten smell mixed with a strong smell of blood.

Li Taiyuan looked at the bottomless secret passage in a daze, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

It seemed as if something was about to be awakened in my bones, the blood in my body was restless, and cold sweat slowly slid down the forehead to my chin.

The scene I dreamed of on the bus before appeared in my heart again, as if I was infected by the dead pillars. A kind of inexplicable fear made Li Taiyuan's breathing gradually become rapid.

He swallowed hard, clenched his fists and pinched his palms with his fingernails, trying to keep himself calm.

On the other side, Wei Yixi and Ruan Zhuyin heard the movement and rushed over.

Li Taiyuan asked them if they had noticed something. Wei Yixi patted her backpack with excitement, saying that she had just seen the changes in the Bai family in a record of a certain clan.
