Monument of Life and Death

   Chapter 779 Disappeared out of thin air

   "Poison?"

   "At present, it seems that Qiao Nian has been affected by some kind of poison, but you don't have to worry too much. Qiao Nian's health is very good. I wanted to wait for this period of time to pass and tell you, it's all to blame..."

  Uncle Hong said, and raised his hand to Hong Zhi to hit her, but Hong Zhi dexterously jumped to the side with an expression of "I was wrong, but I still did it".

   "That's it," Jasmine finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, how is Qiao Nian's state now?"

"She is fine, but she still has symptoms of panic, but we believe that Qiao Nian's panic is not because of being frightened, but because of the poison," said Uncle Hong, "that is a kind of fear that we have never seen before. Therefore, it is expected that it will take some time before we can send Qiao Nian back to Fuxuan."

   Jasmine sighed and nodded.

  Qiao Nian couldn't count on it either. Xiaolan bit her lip and lowered her head to think hard, but she couldn't think of a way. Suddenly, the phone rang.

   is the call of the Taoist priest.

   Daoist priest helped Jasmine to the chair, raised his hand and took out his mobile phone.

   "It's a fool," the Taoist chief glanced at the screen report, and then answered the phone, "Fool, what's the matter?"

   "Daoist! Come here quickly!" Qin Yin's voice resounded throughout the living room, almost deafening the Taoist, "Hurry up! Nine days are gone!..."

  ***

   The rain outside was a little lighter, and a few people huddled under the umbrellas and hurried to the main building.

  Jasmine was supported by the Taoist priest and Hong Zhi, her heart was anxious, but her feet kept bumping and slipping. After a while, they officially entered the threshold of the courtyard of the main building, and they saw the people gathered in the hall at a glance.

   "Daoist Master! Jasmine!..." Qin Yin hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet them, "Come here!"

   A few people ran over in a hurry, and saw that they were forming a circle, and in the center was a treasure tree squatting on the ground and trying to smell it.

   "What's going on?" the Taoist priest asked.

"It's like this," the fool explained, "I was afraid that Jiutian would do something stupid, so I kept following him. After he entered the main building, he went directly to a lounge inside. I wanted to follow up. But I thought it would be good to leave him alone for a while at this time, so I didn't follow up. They came over just now and asked me where Jiutian was. I knocked on the door and found that the door was not closed, and Jiutian was not in the room. in."

   "When did he go out?" Xiaolan asked.

   "That's the problem," said the fool, "I've been standing at the door of the lounge, and I haven't come out for nine days."

   Xiaolan immediately turned to Jasmine, "Jasmine, is there any other exit from the lounge?"

  Jasmine shook her head, "The rest rooms in the main building have only one door."

   "Where's the window?" Hong Zhi asked without any timidity.

  Everyone looked up at this strange girl.

   "Oh, this is from our Shuangyu, this is Hong Silin, we call him Uncle Hong, this is Hong Zhi, you...you can call her anything." Li Muyuan stood up and introduced.

   "She's right," Xiaolan said, "Did Brother Jiutian go out through the window?"

   "There is no sign that the window has been opened," said the fool, "and it's raining so hard outside, why did Jiutian turn out the window?"

  Hong Zhi said, "Is he really going to do something stupid?"

  Uncle Hong covered Hong Zhi's mouth and dragged her aside with a face full of guilt, "I'm sorry, everyone, my apprentice doesn't keep his mouth shut..."

   After hearing this, the others were obviously worried.

   "Impossible, if Brother Jiutian wants to seek short-term views, he will do it sooner. Why did he choose this time?" Xiaolan said, "And... Brother Jiutian is not that kind of person at all."

   "Baomu, what are you smelling?" The Taoist priest lowered his head and asked.

   "The smell of Jiutian," Baomu moved as he smelled it, "I can only smell a faint smell, which should have been left when he passed by for the first time, and it has almost disappeared."

   "Let's go to the lounge to have a look." Xiaolan said.

  The crowd crowded into the lounge, which was decorated just like the other rooms, except for a sturdy wooden door leading to the corridor, and the two windows were tightly closed, and no drop of rain had seeped in.

   "It seems that this window has never been opened," the Taoist priest stood by the window to examine it carefully, and said, "It's still raining outside. If the window is opened, there will definitely be traces of rain threads hanging on it."

   However, the window frame at this time was extremely dry.

   "What's the matter," Qin Yin shrugged, "Is it possible to lose a big living person in Jiutian?"

   It looks, indeed…

  The Taoist priest walked around the lounge, turned his head and asked Baomu, "Baomu, can you tell the smell of Jiutian?"

   Baomu nodded and said, "Yes, it's also a faint smell, this is the last place he appeared."

   Baomu pointed to his feet.

   "Is it here?" Several people approached.

  Baomu stood in the southeast corner of the lounge. There was no furniture around, but a simple open space.

   "Well," Baomu said, "the flavor is the strongest here."

   "That Nine Heavens disappeared here?" Qin Yin squatted down and tapped the tiles on the ground, "Can this be opened?"

   "The tiles can't be opened," Jasmine said helplessly, "and we don't have a basement here."

   Just disappeared out of thin air?

   "Brother Fool," Xiaolan asked, "When Brother Jiutian is in the room, can you hear his voice outside the door?"

"I can hear some," the fool nodded, "I only remember that he seemed to move his chair, and after being quiet for a while, he stood up again and started walking around the room, walking, and suddenly there was a sound... ...Oh! I remember! Before the footsteps of Nine Heavens died, I seemed to hear a strange sound."

  Everyone came to the spirit in an instant.

"what sound?"

"It's kind of like... a kind of bell," the fool described hard, "I thought it was his phone that rang, yes, now that I think about it, after that bell rang, I haven't heard it for nine days. movement."

   "Ringtone..." Jasmine mused, "What kind of ringtone?"

   "It's... very light, very far..." The fool mobilized the vocabulary in his mind, "It's still very regular... I can't remember it clearly, I only heard a short sound."

   "What kind of bell is that?" Qin Yin stepped on the tile, "Door bell? Bell?"

   "It's not like..." The fool narrowed his eyes, "It came from far away... It's like..."

  bell bell… bell bell…

   "Yes! That's the voice!" The fool's eyes suddenly widened.

   Everyone was shocked.

  bell bell…

   A distant and brisk bell sounded from the other side of the wall.

   A few seconds later, in front of everyone, a figure passed through the wall and slowly walked towards them.

   "Oh, you've come," the man laughed when he saw their faces, "Let's go, I'm here to pick you up."
