In the dark night, there was an ocean everywhere, and there was no edge in sight, Lin Yuan lay on the boat, listening to the sound of the waves in his ears, staring at the stars in the sky, and suddenly felt a little lonely in his heart.

"Young Master, where are you going next?"

At night, in Lin Yuan's arms, the ghost light of the Qiankun bag flashed, and the voice of devouring spirits was heard.

"I don't know ......"

Lin Yuan sighed slightly, he wanted to go to find Sun Luanyue before, but he was already married, so how could he go to bother, after thinking about it, he sighed again and said, "Let's go to Fengyuan City first, and then make plans." ”

The Spirit Devourer floated out of the spirit weapon, looked puzzled, and asked, "I heard that Fengyuan City is already a dead city, what are we going to do there?"

"It's nothing, it's just a revisit......"

Lin Yuan was full of emotion, Fengyuan City, the place that carried all the bitterness and happiness between him, his grandfather Zhang Laohan, and his sister Lingxi, is now separated for ten years, and it is no longer a matter of things and people to go back.

Who did the destruction of Fengyuan City back then?

This question has been haunting Lin Yuan's heart for ten years, and it has never disappeared until today. The previous door was investigated for a long time without results, and in the end, it was not resolved, and this time I went back, I may be able to find any clues.

At dawn, the ship had docked.

Lin Yuan abandoned the ship and left, because he didn't want to attract too much attention, so he didn't fly with a sword like most cultivators, and after searching for a while nearby, he embarked on the official road to Fengyuan City.

Since the whole city of Fengyuan City was slaughtered, it has cut off contact with the outside world, and the entire city has also been shrouded in demonic energy, overflowing from time to time, resulting in a radius of hundreds of miles, no longer inhabited, looking almost desolate. And it is a desolate place, there is an inn along the road, in this uninhabited place, I am afraid that there will be no business, I don't know what the store thinks, why did the store open here?

Lin Yuan hadn't eaten for a long time, and he was hungry for a while, so he looked for it, and when he got closer, he saw three words written horizontally on the door of the store: Look back.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the store was not as deserted as I imagined, it was still early, but there were dozens of big men sitting in groups of three or five, none of them were women, all of them had a horizontal face, dressed roughly, and looked fierce. Looking at this appearance, it does not look like a passing merchant, but like an outlaw who blocks the road and robs.

When the second child in the store saw a guest coming, he stepped forward and asked, "Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

Lin Yuan sat down and said, "Don't live in the store, it's a little cold in the morning, you warm a pot of wine for me, and cut two catties of beef, I'll leave after eating." ”

The little second said: "I'm really sorry, our store only sells vegetarian food, not wine and meat." ”

Lin Yuan looked up at Xiao Er and said strangely: "You are open to do business, how can you not sell wine and meat?"

Xiao Er said helplessly: "Forgive me, this rule is set by our shopkeeper, the shopkeeper said, wine messes people's hearts, flesh is filthy to the human body, so don't eat, the guest officer still order something else, this is a hundred miles away from our shop, if you don't eat, you can't find the next one." ”

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "There is still such a truth in the world, and your shopkeeper is also a strange person!"

After speaking, he looked at the shopkeeper with an embarrassed face, sighed, and said: "That's it, since that's the case, it's not difficult for me to be for you, if you have anything to eat, just get some here." ”

"Deler...... Wait a minute. ”

The shopkeeper sighed, and after saying that, he walked towards the kitchen, and after a while, he brought over a few plates of vegetarian dishes and a hot steamed bun, and after placing the meal in front of Lin Yuan, he poured a cup of hot tea, poured it down, and said: "The guest officer came all the way, presumably he was also going to Fengyuan City." ”

Lin Yuan was stunned and said, "How do you know that I am going to Fengyuan?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This is a deserted land for a hundred miles, except for Fengyuan City, where else can I go." ”

Lin Yuan looked at the dozens of big men sitting in the store and asked, "According to what you say, are they also going to Fengyuan?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "That's nature." ”

Lin Yuan frowned and asked, "Now that Fengyuan City is a place of demonic barriers, what are these people doing there?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Lin Yuan strangely and explained: " Naturally to hunt for treasure, since ten years ago, Fengyuan City for some reason, the whole city is shrouded in demonic energy, so that the people in the city are dead, although the people are dead, but the wealth of their lives is still there, just take out a piece from it, you can be rich on the first side, before the imperial court has sent some cultivators to collect it, but it is inevitable that there will be omissions, now after a few years of precipitation, the demonic energy in the city has dissipated a lot, naturally it will attract some heart-warming people to risk death to search in the city, counting the guest officers and these people, this is already the third batch of this month, and the previous go, although there are those who came back alive, but it is also very few, most of the people, have died in the city。 ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuan was extremely shocked, even if the demonic qi in this city dissipated a lot, but the rest of the undispersed ones were not something that ordinary people could touch, and if they were not careful, they would lose themselves and be trapped to death.

"Aren't they afraid of death?" Lin Yuan said in shock.

The little two shook his head and smiled, and said, "Death!? For most people in this world, what is terrible about death, the most terrible thing is nothing more than one." The word 'poor', this thing is not painful, but it can make life worse than death, tortured, as if born, there is no real life, my shopkeeper is a good life, I don't want to see someone because of greed in the heart and give up their lives in vain, so I opened this inn here, one can help those who come all the way to find treasure, so that they have a place to stay, so as not to die on the way due to hunger, thirst and fatigue in this hundred miles of barren land, and second, they can also persuade everyone to turn back, don't go forward, but once there is greed in people's hearts, it will be like falling into the abyss, it is difficult to pull back。 ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuan sighed, full of curiosity about the shopkeeper of this store, and said: "I can't imagine that your shopkeeper is so merciful, I really admire it, can you attract a look?"

Xiao Er shook his head and said: "My shopkeeper rarely comes here, and I'm afraid the guest officer won't be able to see him." ”

Lin Yuan said in frustration: "Even if it is unreasonable, I don't force it." ”

As he spoke, the big men had already eaten well and were about to leave, only to see one of the leading people waving at Xiao Er, and said: "Shopkeeper, thank you for the grace of taking in, if you can come out alive, you will definitely get it in the city, and share it with your shopkeeper." ”

Xiao Er shook his hand and said with a smile: "Then there is no need, there is a lot of danger in this Fengyuan City, there is still a monster in the middle, I like to eat people, and I ask you to think twice. ”

The big man said: "Don't bluff me, the grass doesn't grow within ten miles of Fengyuan City, how can I attract the monster to go, besides, I finally came here, how can I go back empty-handed." ”

The shopkeeper didn't react much, as if he had already guessed that everyone would not go back, sighed slightly, and said: "Since you insist, I will no longer persuade you, but remember, after entering the city, don't go to the dark place, the monster can't see the daylight, if you meet, you can escape to the sun, and be sure to leave before dark." ”

The crowd nodded and left. In the blink of an eye, there was only one guest left in the inn, Lin Yuan, who was eating, when a soul-devouring voice suddenly sounded in his head: "Young master, listen to what this little second said, the monsters in Fengyuan City are probably ghosts!"

Lin Yuan asked, "Ghosts, didn't you say that only by going to the Underworld Ghost Domain, the undead who have been refined by the Hellfire can turn into ghosts?"

"That's what I said, but I haven't seen a monster that can't see the light in this world, and the hell fire refining ghosts, its effect is only to make the dead resentful, if the dead body is too angry before death, it can also turn into a ghost, but the chance of success is very small, of course, it is not excluded that it is the same as me, escaped from the underworld. ”

Lin Yuan frowned, if it was really as the Spirit Devourer said, if the ghost in this city came through his own grudges, then this ghost was likely to be a person from Fengyuan City before his death, and he must have known what happened in Fengyuan City back then.

Thinking of this, he was no longer at peace in his heart, no matter what, he had to find this ghost thing and ask for clarification, so after eating, he also set off.

Walk along the official road, about thirty miles, you will see a city in front, glazed lacquer pillars, jade paving, faintly scattered golden light, although it is dilapidated a lot, but it is still dazzling.

Fengyuan City, finally arrived.

It's just that after ten years, Lin Yuan returned here again, this city is no longer what it used to be, and the people in the city are no longer there.
