Find the location where the malevolent spirit is hiding?
The side courtyard covers about one mu of land, neither large nor small.
If there was enough time, Chen Yun could have searched room by room completely.
However, he knew that the situation was urgent, Wu Lǜ was still soaking in the cold pond, and Li Sì, Zhang Gān, Lín Chén, and Fang Paidu were all unaware of the situation. If too much time was wasted, there might be a risk to their lives.
It is necessary to find out where the malevolent spirit is as soon as possible.
Chen Yun ignored the ghostly face, pondering how to find the evil spirit.
He began to recall all the useful information.
"The gentleman Wu said that the ghost was first discovered in the second son's room."
On the way to the villa, Chen Yun had inquired about the news from Wu Lǜ and Wu You, and learned that the second son of the Wu family had lived in the eastern room of the second courtyard before his death.
Therefore, the malevolent spirit is very likely to be hiding inside the eastern room.
"I had just crossed the threshold and barely moved. I should still be in the narrow room of the first courtyard. There are corridors on both sides, and as long as I can touch the columns of the corridor, I can walk along and reach the vertical flower gate, and then enter the second courtyard."
He had a general idea in mind.
It's just to save time, so it's important to distinguish the east and west directions. Otherwise, it's easy to get lost in finding the wrong place.
The side courtyard is located in the north and faces the south. Now he had just crossed the gate, which means front north and back south, left west and right east.
Chen Yun made a judgment and reached out to the right.
The touch of the green glazed brick on his palm indicated the direction, and he advanced slowly to the right.
While advancing, he also took a quick glance at the ghost face to check its movements.
The ghost face seemed rather eerie; despite Chen Yun having taken several steps forward, it was still at the same distance of about four to five meters from itself as it had been before.
"It's indeed a deception of the eyes. It will not cause me any harm."
Chen Yun's courage grew stronger, and his pace increased by three times.
He had walked about ten or so steps.
His toes touched something.
Chen Yun paused for a moment and extended his foot to measure the obstacle.
It seemed to be a rectangular staircase.
"It's time to enter the corridor."
He slowly lifted his heel and gently stepped onto the stairs.
He carefully stepped up several stairs.
Suddenly, there was nothing under his feet, and it seemed as if he had already walked into the corridor.
Bang!
Chen Yun's knee collided with something hard, and it hurt.
However, he felt a sense of joy, "I must have hit the railing."
He reached out and touched it, and it was indeed the railing.
He followed the railing forward and soon touched a column.
Chen Yun confirmed that this was a corridor and walked forward more confidently.
During this time, he looked back once again, and the ghost face was still hovering in the semi-air about four to five meters away.
Chen Yun was too lazy to care about the ghost face, which had no lethal power, and kept moving forward.
He walked for about half a minute.
He touched the wall.
"This is the wall of the house; I might be at the edge of the narrow room."
Chen Yun changed direction and advanced with one hand constantly touching the wall.
He walked another four or five steps and touched the wooden window vertical bars.
That's right, he was walking north.
Chen Yun walked across the river by touching stones, and soon he touched the wooden door again.
He did not pause at all, walking straight north.
So far, the ghost face has shown no change at all.
However, when Chen Yun touched the wall at the bottom of the north side again, the ghost face suddenly shattered.
For some reason, the whole area suddenly shone with a faint gray light.
It seemed as if time was flowing faster.
The sky quickly changed from pitch black to gray.
It was somewhat like the sky at around 3-4 in the morning.
It wasn't just grayish; it seemed to be mixed with dark red in the blackness.
Scarlet blood was flowing everywhere around him, and one by one, they were spreading towards him.
He was enveloped in blood!
"It's another illusion."
Although the scenery was even more terrifying than before, Chen Yun showed a smile.
Why?
According to the range of energy radiation, the closer you are to the evil spirit, the stronger the energy it can release, and the more terrifying the illusion it can create.
As for the current situation encountered, it shows that you are getting closer to the evil spirit!
"The illusion you will encounter next should be even more terrifying to look at."
Chen Yun felt no fear at all.
Compared to the current situation, watching so many horror films in his previous life made this blood-soaked illusion much less terrifying.
How could he possibly be afraid?
He was pondering silently.
Suddenly, the palm of his hand holding the wall felt empty, as if there was no wall in front.
Empty?
That means he had reached the open moon gate.
Chen Yun adjusted his posture and reached out to the right again.
He took a few steps and crossed into the second courtyard.
Suddenly!
Once again, a ghost face appeared in front of his eyes, this time much closer!
This ghost face was decaying and exuding thick pus, covered with maggots, making it very eerie.
Chen Yun had been prepared all along and was not frightened at all.
He didn't even look at the ghost face and directly charged forward.
Perhaps the malevolent spirit was getting anxious as it saw that it couldn't scare Chen Yun.
In the grayish blood-red, another ripple surged.
Shortly after, thousands of faces that looked ferocious and grotesque appeared around him like fireflies on a summer night.
The wind howled fiercely, and ghosts' faces were everywhere in the sky!
These ghost faces twisted their faces continuously, making terrifying appearances, and then charged towards Chen Yun together.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would surely be terrified and lose their courage.
But as a man who has watched countless movies... countless ghost movies, Chen Yun only felt like laughing at these low-level scary scenes.
He pretended like nothing had happened, allowing those ghost faces to rush towards him, but he walked forward without changing his expression.
Indeed, there was no harm at all.
Chen Yun had touched the corner of the wall, adjusted his posture again, and was about to reach northward towards the eastern room.
The malevolent spirit seems to have become angry.
The grayish illusion suddenly expanded, and the blood color became even more terrifying!
Chen Yun clearly saw "blood rain" falling from the sky.
Drops of blood water fell to the ground, quickly forming an endless sea of blood.
A more terrifying scene was born.
Every drop of blood that hit the ground brought out a skeletal arm with bones sticking out from beneath.
Soon, skeletons crawled out one by one, waving their bony arms and teeth towards Chen Yun!
"It's getting desperate, it's desperate."
Chen Yun was not afraid at all; instead, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He allowed those skeletons to grab him, still moving forward by touching the wall.
Every time he took a step forward, the "blood rain" falling from the sky grew more torrential, as if the whole world was going to be swallowed by blood.
The skeletons around him also became more numerous, and finally, both in the sky and on the ground, almost all were skeletons with bones sticking out!
Chen Yun's left palm, holding the Jingxin Fufa, was emitting more and more intense light, and he even felt the heat, as if like this, the Jingxin Fufa would burn automatically.
It seems that the Jingxin Fufa is close to its limit.
"No, the Jingxin Fufa is what I rely on now. If it gets burned, I will definitely be engulfed by the illusion, and at that time, my life will be in danger."
Chen Yun knew that he couldn't keep touching the riverbed, so his steps became much faster all of a sudden.
As his steps quickened, he soon touched the doorframe.
Hm?
Is it the door of the eastern room?
Chen Yun pushed the door without hesitation.
A "creek" sound echoed, the sound of the door being pushed open!
This is the first sound he heard other than the wind, until now!
If this is where the evil spirit is hiding, it will definitely form even more terrifying illusions.
Chen Yun's thought just emerged.
Indeed, terror has descended!
Chen Yun saw the wind suddenly blow fiercely, causing the doors and windows to shake violently.
At the same time, the entire room became pitch black, where one couldn't see their hands in front of their faces.
Immediately, a beam of moonlight shone in from outside the window, and shadows twisted and contorted on the ground, as if they were crawling and trying to stand up!
Darkness, wind blowing, twisted shadow under the moonlight, crawling on the ground, terrifying people!
An ordinary person would be terrified and faint upon seeing this!
Chen Yun's eyes twinkled, and he saw a bit of light in the room at this moment, although he had already lost his sight.
Even though this tiny bit of light was hidden very well, it shone brightly in the pitch-black darkness where one couldn't see their hands in front of their faces. It was so bright that it could not be concealed by illusions.
He didn't bother to look for any tables or chairs in the room; he took big steps towards the light.
The bright light seemed to be under great threat, and it shone even brighter.
In an instant, the moonlight streaming in was once again enveloped by darkness.
It was not just darkness.
The scenery in front of him changed completely.
Chen Yun blinked, and he found himself in a place where the rocks were rugged and the trees were tangled.
Cold winds blew through, and the weeds and wildflowers swayed with the wind.
Thin mist drifted lazily.
He saw something hidden in the wild grass. It was a broken tombstone, with only half an angle, and on it were twisted and twisted red characters!
The rats and ants hidden in the dark were still quietly gnawing at something, the sound of their chattering mixed with the howling wind, like wandering ghosts, truly spooky, causing goosebumps and a sense of fear.
The illusion has produced sounds!
In the next moment, the frost-covered branches and tips of the grass were swept by a strong wind, and a crescent moon appeared at the same time.
Rotten coffins and splintered wood could be seen everywhere, exposing shallow graves. White, skeletonized bones were scattered by some unknown animals, and the remains gnawed by beasts were scattered at Chen Yun's feet!
Although the scenery is extremely terrifying and disturbing.
However, Chen Yun smiled and revealed his teeth at the light that wouldn't extinguish, "Hey, I found you!"
