Six months ago in Jiangling Mansion, it rained continuously for half a month.

Especially tonight, the rain was so heavy that it was as if the Dragon King had knocked a hole in the sky when he turned over. The rainwater splashed up into the ground and threw up bursts of smoke. A torch soaked in pine tar would not light up even if it was held in the rain.

The convoy that was traveling in the rainy night could only rely on the glimmer of light when lightning flashed across the sky to move forward. Hundreds of carriages were so steady and strange, slowly moving forward in the dark night. From a distance,

The past is like a group of dark souls wandering in the rainy night.

However, even such a clandestine convoy has not escaped the eyes of interested people. People who have been doing business all year round can tell the value of the goods from the marks of the wheels. Two inches of ruts penetrated into the solid soil,

It can only mean that everything on the car is gold, real gold.

Suddenly, a violent bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating a radius of hundreds of miles as bright as day. The Jianghu friends who were following the convoy suddenly saw a group of soldiers standing outside the Jiangling Treasury like clay sculptures, with long guns in their hands.

It flashed into a flash of cold light under the lightning

, they could feel each other's chilling aura even though they were miles away. Several people were immediately frightened to death, and they didn't even dare to let out any air. They lay down in the rain one by one and waited for the convoy to enter the vault, and then they dared to retreat slowly, for fear of

One of them was accidentally discovered by the soldiers and cut into pieces with swords.

Chen Dong, the governor of Jiangling, who was in the inner courtyard of the treasury, was holding an oil-paper umbrella, but his whole body still felt as if he had been soaked in water, and he felt terribly uncomfortable.

Treasurer Wang Yu whispered: "Sir, just leave this place to your subordinates. You still..."

"No!" Chen Dong refused without hesitation: "The imperial tax cannot tolerate any mistakes. If I don't watch the gold enter the warehouse and lock the door with my own hands, I can't rest assured."

"Yes!" Wang Yu no longer insisted, and followed Chen Dong to count boxes of gold.

The moment they locked the door of the vault, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, as if it flashed beside them, illuminating the figures in the dark night. The two of them saw at the same time, a disheveled man sitting on the box of the vault.

people

Shadow, the man was holding the lid of the box with his hands, half leaning over, his hair was hanging straight in front of his face as if it had been soaked by water, and water droplets were dripping on the ground along the tips of his hair. What's even more terrifying is,

There were actually two human hands stretched out from his trousers hanging in front of the box!

"Ah!" Wang Yu was so frightened by this figure that he couldn't help shouting. When he looked carefully, the box became empty. The vault also suddenly became dark, pitch black.

In the warehouse, except for a bunch of square black figures, nothing could be seen. But Wang Yu always felt that there was someone standing behind the box, staring coldly at herself and beside him.

colleagues.

Wang Yu stroked her chest and looked at the chief officer beside her, only to see that Chen Dong's face was as white as paper. The latter opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he did not speak. He waved to Wang Yu to lock the door of the warehouse and took his subordinates with him.

Went down in a hurry.

After Chen Dong returned to the wing, he became taciturn and kept pacing back and forth in the room. He did not speak until the Jin Yiwei responsible for receiving the gold arrived. In the end, he even handed over the opening of the treasury to his subordinates and ran back to the mansion first.

.

Before he could change his clothes, he was so frightened by the news that "the vault was stolen and 300,000 taels of gold disappeared" that he collapsed on the ground.

For more than half a month after that, in addition to frantically hunting down the robbers, Chen Dong just sat in the room in a daze. He kept mumbling: "How could it be possible... How could it be possible?"

"Perhaps it's just as reported outside, sir, or..."

As soon as Mrs. Fu Yin said something, Chen Dong jumped up in anger: "That's nonsense, what does a woman know?"

Not to be outdone, Mrs. Chen said: "It wasn't ghosts and gods who stole the gold. Who could take the gold away under the eyes of thousands of you people? You don't believe it yourself, but your subordinates believe it. Wang Yu has already found a Taoist priest to go to the treasury to pay homage to the ghosts and gods.

.”

"You bastard!" Chen Dong didn't know who he was scolding, so he called his followers and hurried to the treasury.

Over there in the treasury, several Taoist priests had already set up an altar, lit up golden lamps, and illuminated the entire treasury. The leading Taoist priest held up a mahogany sword and muttered: "...The Supreme Master is so anxious.

The law... where the demon is coming quickly..."

A golden light suddenly burst out from the top of the peach wood sword, and it came out from the man's palm, floating in the air and pointing towards the north wall of the warehouse.

Two rows of bloody handprints suddenly appeared on the originally gray wall. Looking from the direction of the handprints, it looked like someone had climbed down from the roof, walked around in the warehouse, and then followed the path.

The wall crawled back.

What's even weirder is that the handprints on the wall that seem to be crisscrossing are smaller in front and larger in the back. It looks like the soles of a person's feet have been replaced by slightly larger hands, and they are crawling on the wall with four hands.

.

Everyone's eyes followed the upward handprints to the top of the wall.

A figure with limbs in the shape of "earth" and head downward, lying flat on the wall, was like a floating corpse emerging from the water, emerging slowly but clearly.

"Ah——" Wang Yu was so frightened that she sat down on the ground: "Taoist priest, hurry up... do it quickly..."

"Oh! Ah, ah." The Taoist priest was also frightened. He grabbed the magic talisman and put it on the candle, but he couldn't reach the flame of the candle. After a long time, he couldn't light even a piece of paper.

At this time, the figure on the wall suddenly raised his head. No matter where the person was or what angle his face was turned, everyone in the room saw a black shadow like hair passing by at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, a cold breath suddenly approached his face. Wang Yu, who was holding his head in his hands, felt something standing in front of him, opening a pair of white teeth and twisting his neck left and right.

It was as if he was searching for a place to open his mouth.

"Don't eat me -" Wang Yu shrank into a ball in fright, but couldn't avoid the feeling like a light on his back. It felt as if the thing was squatting in front of him, through the gap in his arms that protected his head and face.

Here, just staring at his face.

Wang Yu had the courage to take a look, but only saw two balls of shining golden light. He was sure that what he just saw was definitely not eyes, but a pair of golden balls. Yes, they were golden balls, round golden balls.

.Human eyes can never emit that kind of metallic luster.

"What are you doing!" Chen Dong yelled in extreme annoyance, but it was like the sound of nature coming to save his life. Wang Yu was so happy that he climbed over in a few steps: "Sir, there is a ghost, there is a ghost!"

"That's nonsense!" Wang Yu said angrily: "In broad daylight and the universe is clear, where can the ghosts and gods come from?"

"Sir, you must believe it! There really are ghosts and gods!" Wang Yu cried: "Sir, think about it, if ghosts and gods hadn't stolen the gold, who could have made more than 300,000 taels of gold disappear without a trace overnight?

Even the box containing the gold is missing!"

"And just now, all of us saw ghosts and gods!" Wang Yu said: "Sir, please, trust us for once! Kneel down and worship the ghosts and gods. Maybe the ghosts and gods can feel your sincerity and send the gold back?"

Chen Dong said angrily: "Where are the ghosts and gods? Why didn't I see them?"

"It was your great righteousness that dispersed the ghosts." The leading Taoist priest said, "Just now we..."

Chen Dong shouted angrily: "Come here, take down this monster who is deceiving the public with his monstrous words, and this bastard who is taking the lead in doing this."

"My lord, my lord, you must believe me!" Wang Yu struggled and shouted: "Over there, over there, under the wall over there, someone is watching us...I didn't lie to you..."

No matter what he said, Chen Dong felt inexplicably that there seemed to be a pair of eyes in the stone cracks in the corner over there, looking at his back.

Chen Dong couldn't help but feel numb. He hurriedly explained a few words and left in a hurry. The day after Chen Dong left the warehouse, he was dismissed from office. No one cared about it anymore. That day, they were in the warehouse.
