C295 Haunted in the palace

"You mean you don't think it's human." As I said that, I continued to gulp down the last candied fruit. I licked my lips as if I wanted to continue.

"It's been a long time since I've exercised my muscles and bones. I'm about to forget my old job. Alright, let's go catch a ghost tonight." As I spoke, I moved my neck and gave a devilish smile.

In the evening, when everything was as usual in the palace, Bai Jing and I sneaked into the palace of the concubine.

"Why isn't there anyone here? How come it's so quiet?" I rubbed my arm, and goosebumps popped up.

"Lianfei has been grounded. The palace maids who served her were scared off by her. Only people come to deliver food every day, otherwise there would be no one here anymore." Bai Jing explained.

Bai Jing and I found our way forward in the dim moonlight.

"Lianfei is truly pitiful. What a glorious past she was before but now she's been reduced to such a state," I couldn't help but sigh at the injustice of fate for Lianfei.

"Shh!" Bai Jing suddenly stopped in his tracks and held my hand, signaling for me to be quiet.

I hid behind Bai Jing, and together we hid behind a big ball, with a view of the courtyard ahead of us.

At the end of the yard was where Lian Fei lived. It was just that it was dark now and not a single ray of light could be seen from it.

I wondered why this concubine didn't light the lamp, but then I remembered that Bai Jing said she was insane and probably couldn't light the lamp anymore.

The entire room was like a sleeping monster in the dark night, ready to swallow a person at any moment with its bloody mouth open.

The courtyard was desolate. The ground was covered in dust, fallen leaves from the wind, and a few dead branches. It made the courtyard seem even more desolate and miserable.

"This atmosphere is too scary." I whispered.

Then a gust of wind blew, and I felt the chill go straight to my heart, and my body shuddered and my scalp went numb.

Bai Jing's expression was solemn as he stared at the closed door. The wind had messed up his hair, but he remained motionless.

"What's wrong?" I whispered, poking him gently in the waist with my finger.

Bai Jing looked at me. "I keep feeling that something is weird."

I followed his gaze and saw nothing. "There's no ghost."

"Don't you feel that it's a little eerily quiet?" Bai Jing asked, looking into my eyes.

Only then did I carefully observe my surroundings. I didn't know when the wind had stopped, but the entire courtyard was deathly silent. I couldn't feel any signs of life.

I pricked up my ears for a moment. How could it be? Even the insects didn't make a sound. It was as if everything had stopped.

"Look at the sky, is there anything abnormal?" Bai Jing looked up at the sky and said to me in surprise.

I raised my head and only then could I clearly see what had happened. My heart was alarmed. "The clouds in the sky haven't moved."

Bai Jing looked at me and nodded with a look of disbelief on his face.

The night sky was already gloomy, but tonight, the moon was rather round. However, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be pressing down on them, causing fear to well up in one's heart.

I flew out a rune and stopped mid-air. Then, a black barrier appeared above our heads, with a ring of green lines on it. It looked like a huge lid that covered our heads and trapped us.

A hint of astonishment flashed through Bai Jing's eyes. I raised my eyebrows at him complacently, "How is it? Am I amazing?"

Bai Jing just smiled and then rubbed my head.

This is a restriction array, also known as the spirit sealing array, it is used to trap those wandering souls and prevent them from endangering the human world. It should be because this place is haunted, so the Emperor had his people seal this place.

While he was speaking, the restriction above his head suddenly changed color and turned into a ghastly and terrifying green. It was suffused with a faint green light that made people shudder in fear.

"Why is this happening?" Bai Jing looked at me in surprise. His eyes were filled with confusion, while mine were completely lifeless.

"He's coming." I glared at the dark room and felt a cold chill coming from within, coming straight at us.

Bai Jing followed my gaze and looked in the same direction. His expression remained calm, but the grip on his sword unconsciously tightened, revealing his nervousness.

We slowed our breathing for fear of disturbing the thing.

At this moment, another gust of wind blew by and two or three leaves fell from above. I raised my head to look at the sky and realized that the cloud concept had regained its movement.

The wind was blowing harder and harder, and the sand on the ground was being rolled up and the dust was blowing against my face, making it hard for me to open my eyes.

Along with the gale, the wooden door that we were looking forward to opened with a creak.

Bai Jing and I subconsciously hid behind the thick tree trunk and carefully poked our heads out to look at the open wooden door.

My eyes did not even dare blink. My eyesight was extraordinary, but because of the darkness, I could not clearly see what was in the room. I could only vaguely make out the tables and stools inside.

I felt strange. Didn't they say that Lianfei had gone crazy? Why were the things inside so neatly arranged?

He waited for a while, but other than the howling of the wind, nothing else happened. I was getting impatient from waiting and was about to head over to investigate when Bai Jing, who was standing beside me, pulled me back in.

I also noticed that something was amiss. I heard a series of creaking sounds coming from the house, which became clearer and clearer. I stretched out my neck and curiously looked at the door.

A shadow appeared at the door, lengthening slowly. At first glance, it was only in shape, but looking at the shadow, it was hard to tell what it was.

Then the archetype of the shadow appeared. He wore a white robe that stretched from his head to his feet, and behind him was a long backswing. It was hard to see his face.

However, looking at her figure, it was a female. Furthermore, I felt that this figure was somewhat familiar.

As the figure slowly moved, a dark red mark was left behind his back. It was a shocking sight to behold.

Bai Jing and I stopped in the courtyard and raised our heads, revealing our faces. Both of us looked at each other in surprise.

"Baili Ningxiang." I whispered to Bai Jing.

However, her face was no longer the same as before. There were deep crevices on her face, and hideous scars were crawling all over it. It was very creepy and creepy.

I knew that it was probably because the Phantom Dan had taken effect.

Her eyes turned scarlet as she looked at the restriction in the air, and with a hint of anger, she reached out her hands from under the thick cloak, and then, a surge of spirit energy condensed. My heart was surprised, wasn't Baili Ningxiang supposed to be in the water prison, why would he be here, and also have spirit energy.

Baili Ningxiang should have wanted to break through the restriction, but her spirit energy was limited, the restriction above her head did not budge an inch. I silently made up my mind that I would meet the person who set up the restriction when I was done. I felt that I could discuss it with him.
