C17 (2/2)

On closer inspection, it was a clear stream, and next to it was a large courtyard. It seemed that what used to be an illustrious family was now dilapidated, and to reach the courtyard we had to cross the wooden bridge over the stream.

The water in the stream was trickling down, and the stream was so clear that one could see the bottom. One could even see some fish swimming happily in the water.

Danshen squatted by the stream and washed her hands. She then turned around and said to us, ”The water here is so cold and clear, why don't you all sit down to rest and drink some water before leaving.”

After entering the Nine Yin Mountain, it seemed that there was no night and day. According to the time, it was almost day, but the surroundings were still dark.

If Mu Chen had not prepared a torch, we might not be able to see anything now.

Mu Chen nodded and glanced at me, as if he was asking for my opinion. After walking for so long and experiencing so many things, we are tired and hungry. It was time to take a break.

Looking at such a large Nine Yin Mountain, my heart was a little at a loss. Wasn't wanting to find Zi Yin easier said than done?

If not for the boss telling us, Lin Dan and I would not have been able to find the Nine Yin Mountain, much less Zi Yin.

Mu Chen and Danshen were both drinking water beside the stream. As Danshen drank, he called for me, ”Lingyue, come and drink a little, it's so sweet.”

I gathered my thoughts and squatted down to drink some water. As I reached out my hand, before I could touch the stream, I heard that familiar and frightening voice in my head.

”Qing Qing, don't drink!”

After these simple words, there were no more movements. I wanted to ask one more question, but I was worried that Mu Chen would discover my secret, but I believed that Qin Yize would not harm me.

He then retracted his hand and prepared to warn Mu Chen and his.

At this time, Mu Chen had already stood up and looked at me meaningfully, then said to me: ”Lingyue, if you don't want to drink, then let's go!”

That gaze from Mu Chen just now made me feel that it was a little obedient, but I couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. Even though I hadn't known him for long, he always gave off the feeling that he was very calm, so why does he seem so anxious right now?

He seemed to be in a hurry.

Shaking my head, I withdrew my train of thoughts. When I raised my head, I realised that Danshen and Mu Chen had already climbed onto the bridge. I subconsciously turned my head to look behind me.

The wooden bridge was in disrepair, and steam was invading the stream. As I walked along the bridge, the bridge creaked, and the resistance that cut through the air reached my ears. It was a little creepy.

I didn't have a torch in my hands, so I could only rely on the light that came from the torch in Mu Chen's hand to walk forward. As I walked along the bridge, I didn't dare to move fast, as I was afraid that the bridge would collapse if I used too much strength.

Slowly, he crossed the bridge and saw the courtyard that he had just seen through the torchlight on the other side of the stream.

The courtyard was built high above the road, with a height of three and a half meters. The staircase led to the main entrance.

The two stone lions in front of the door had their heads cut off in a strange manner. There were two large red and lacquer pillars by the door, and their paint was already mottled. But you can still see the grandeur of the rich

It was unknown who had removed the door, the windows had lost their panes, and a few large black holes seemed to be sucking people in.

Just as I was looking at the building, Mu Chen and Danshen had already reached the entrance and were about to step in.
