It is strictly forbidden to pay for the ticket after getting on the bus

"Familiar?" Bai Luochuan regained his vigor, "How come you are familiar? Could it be that you have met this person in the mansion?"

He just said, how come the general's mansion doesn't have a wife and concubine, and the general didn't change from a monk.

"It doesn't seem like a real person..." Si Qi tugged at her hair tangled up, with an anxious expression on her face, "Where did I see it, I can't remember... Where is it, in a book! By the way !"

Si Qi clenched her fist and thumped the table heavily: "I remembered! I've seen this woman in the storybook!"

Lin Jiu immediately realized: "Is this the script you brought back from the stall on the street?"

"Yeah!" Si Qi led them to the West Wing Pavilion, explaining, "You may not have noticed when I went to the street, I walked in a small shop by a few books, which are full of folk tales, and Some unofficial histories, and illustrations, I seem to have seen illustrations of that woman in one of them."

Let's go... Lin Jiu sighed: "Anyway, there is no point in selling things here, and stealing some storybooks is nothing, it's better than murder and arson..."

"Yo! Erjiu, you've finally opened your eyes a bit, where did you go, that rigid one?" Si Qi joked.

"Go away, find your storybook!"

"What are you panicking about? I followed up several books at the time, wait for me to look for them..." Si Qi entered the room, took the book and began to rummage through it, "It seems to be this one, right! It's here Here, let's see if she is that woman!"

Bai Jue took it and saw that it was right. Although the outline of the girl in the storybook was rough, she could vaguely see the outline and facial features of the beauty in the study scroll, and there was a high probability that it was the same person.

"Yo, this person is still the emperor's favorite concubine?" Bai Luochuan turned his head to look at it, and said in surprise, "Then the general still likes her? Isn't this the emperor's rival in love?"

The scriptures are full of folk rumors, and there must be embellishments in it, but the basic situation should be correct.

It said that this woman was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, and she had an engagement with the general as a childhood sweetheart, but in the end the woman became a concubine and lived in the palace...

"What a drama in ancient costume!" Bai Luochuan sighed, "This emperor is so immoral, stealing his subjects' fiancées? At first glance, he looks like a fool."

"Beautiful beauty is a disaster..."

"Ah—" At this moment, a shrill scream pierced the sky of the General's Mansion.

"An accident happened again? Did someone get that black powder again?" Si Qi frowned, "Are these all idiots? Don't you know how to be careful after the miserable lesson yesterday? Do you think your life is too long or something?"

"Go and have a look."

----------------

The hallway in front of the hall was in a mess.

The death of this person was even more tragic than the two people yesterday. This time the fire on his body didn't seem to burn so fast, but it still couldn't be extinguished. The screams of the burned person echoed in the corridor, and the flesh on his body was like It was as if he had been lingered, the fire seemed to be sharp knives, which made him not die so quickly, but cut his flesh and tortured him one after another.

When Bai Jue and the others arrived, there were traces of this person's struggle on the ground and walls—the nails even scratched bloodstains on the plaster floor, the wooden door was almost torn by him, and there were dark red bloodstains everywhere and charred grill marks.

After the fire was gradually extinguished, the appearance of that body was even uglier than that of the person who died yesterday.

"Looks like burnt ham." Bai Luochuan murmured.

Lin Jiu's face was pale. Hearing his voice, he glanced at Bai Luochuan inexplicably. The latter approached him and explained enthusiastically: "Have you never eaten barbecue? Before grilling ham sausage, you have to cut a lot of it with a knife. Small hole, it tastes more delicious when grilled this way, but the one in front of you is burnt, otherwise it really looks like..."

Lin Jiu stared at the corpse in front of him in horror. The pieces of meat on the corpse seemed to be cut apart, and fell off in pieces, and the smell in the air was really like burnt barbecue... Oops up!There is a picture!

"Ouch—" Lin Jiu couldn't control himself, and threw up heavily.

"Oh Erjiu, why are you still so delicate?" Si Qi, who didn't know why, patted him on the back.

"I want you to take care of it—" Lin Jiu's face turned pale.

"Why are you scaring him?" Bai Jue squeezed Bai Luochuan's fingers in a funny way, and sighed inwardly. Recently, she seemed to love to touch him more and more, as if the fingers were not on Bai Luochuan's body. It feels like itching.

"Help him get used to it as soon as possible," Bai Luochuan said confidently, "How kind of me."

Bai Jue: "Yes, yes, you are beautiful and kind."

"..."

"By the way, has this person been contaminated with black ash again today?" Bai Jue straightened his face and asked the deceased's companion for news.

"No!" The companion was Yang Tongzhou who had a little trouble with Bai Jue before, and at this moment he seemed to be dazed by fright, his eyes were bloodshot, looking tired and frightened, "We didn't go to battle at all today." The place where the eye is! How could it be stained with black ash, how could he burn? How could it be possible! Will it be me next, I don't want...I don't want to—”

"Call it, no one will come to save you if you yell out your throat." Bai Luochuan calmly picked out his ears.

"Luo Chuan is a devil..." Lin Jiu muttered softly.

"No black ash? That means there are still some things we haven't discovered, what could it be..." Bai Jue sighed.

A person is burned to death without knowing any reason, which is enough to cast a haze over everyone's heart. If they know the prerequisites, such as getting black ash on their bodies, then they can be careful to avoid it. Yes, but now everyone doesn't know the reason, it's like a pair of black hands in the darkness, grabbing you in coldly, and then devouring you.

Everyone is frightened, for fear that the next unlucky person will be themselves.

Bai Jue suddenly remembered the words the general said, "They are already on the move, everyone please be more careful", this sentence now seems to be fulfilled, "they" have started to act, so there are people who are not careful Already suffered.

But who does 'they' refer to?

Bai Jue stared at the eye symbol in the corner, and had a vague guess in his heart.

In the evening, there was another burning incident in the mansion, and the person who died this time was Yang Tongzhou.

He was burned to death in his room, and after other people heard that something was wrong and rushed to his room, the West Wing Pavilion was already filled with a strong smell of burning.

Yang Tongzhou is also dead?Bai Jue's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Did the two of them encounter anything special today? Did anyone see it?"

People around were whispering, but everyone seemed to form a team and go their own way, and no one noticed what happened to Yang Tongzhou.

"You can talk about small things," Si Qi reminded, "We are all grasshoppers on the same boat now. If we can't decipher this matter, we will all die here, so please don't be stingy with your brains and think about it carefully." Think about it."

At this time, a girl who has been silent and has no sense of presence said weakly: "In the afternoon, I saw a slave in the mansion who seemed to have accidentally bumped into Yang Tongzhou and the others, and Yang Tongzhou almost fell. Fall, does this count?"

"Why don't you count, count!" Si Qi smiled softly, as persuasive as a wolf with a big tail, "And then? Yang Tongzhou scolded that slave?"

"Of course not," the girl said. "Anyone can tell that these slaves in the mansion are not human. Even if they don't have malicious intentions, they don't dare to quarrel with them. So does Yang Tongzhou. I think they said a word after they were bumped. He left without saying anything."

"That's it...thank you." Bai Jue nodded at her, his brows and eyes stretched, and the girl's face blushed slightly.

"Unkind."

Back in the room, Bai Luochuan asked softly, "What did you think of?"

"Well, judging from the situation, I guess there may be another force in the general's mansion." Bai Jue said, "I thought it was the general's subordinates who burned people, but now I think it's unlikely."

"That's right," Bai Luochuan propped his chin and muttered to himself, "Everyone in the general's mansion was burned to death. It stands to reason that they don't like this way of killing people."

A bright light flashed in Bai Jue's eyes: "Do you think it is possible that the big formation in the General's Mansion is actually a fire formation? The purpose is to burn the General's Mansion to ashes? With a pond of running water, how could it be possible that so many people were burned to death here, and none of them escaped? If they were trapped by a formation, then it would make sense."

"If you look at it this way, then the other force is..."

"Wizard!" The two said in unison.

"The general looks like he is wielding swords and swords, and he doesn't match the formation at all. Such a perfect formation must be laid by a wizard who understands formation." Bai Jue said.

"I don't know why, this wizard who set up the formation...is still in the mansion." The corner of Bai Luochuan's mouth raised a sneer, "Even he was trapped in it and couldn't get out, he is really supernatural. Hurt self and others."

"Then the slave who bumped into Yang Tongzhou should be the wizard himself or someone from the wizard's side. I just don't know how they burned people. Is it enough to bump them?" Bai Jue analyzed carefully, " What about the ticket? Does it appear only after killing the wizard? What about the residents outside the mansion?"

"...Uh, my head hurts—" There were too many questions, and Bai Luochuan groaned.

"What's wrong?" Bai Jue was taken aback, "Have a cold? Still didn't sleep well? Don't think about it, let's rest first."

Bai Luochuan curled his lips: "If you don't analyze it carefully, what if you can't get the ticket? We're stuck here."

"If you're sleepy, sleepy," Bai Jue said indifferently, there was no sign of joking in his eyes.

"Then we will buy a house here and live there for the rest of our lives."
