Chapter 261: The Ghost of the Dead City
Although Zheng Fang had long known in the fragments of spiritual power that it was most normal for spirits to fight among them, but when he really met them, he was still extremely shocked, these spirits who cultivated the fields were obviously gentle spirits, they had no quarrel with the world, so what was the point of killing them?
Thinking that the Zhen Kui around him was still naked, Zheng Fang found a house that looked a little bigger, and went in to collect some clothes for Zhen Kui to put on, and Zhen Kui traveled all the way, but also surprised and abnormal, according to him, he accompanied his father to the town to change Zhu Guo, and also passed through here, at that time there was still some excitement here, those farming spirit people saw them, they all ran out to see the excitement, they begged for food or asked for some water to drink, these spirit people were also willing to help. When a spiritual person saw his father's naked appearance, he specially gave his father a set of clothes, and his father took it back to his mother, which made his mother happy for a long time.
The loneliness in the forest was terrible, and everything seemed to be silent, as if all the living beings had left here, leaving only the traces they had left behind, waiting for time to slowly fade away.
A little further on, the forest gradually thinned out, and the houses slowly became denser.
"The town has arrived. Yu Kui said softly. Nodding, Zheng Fang noticed at a glance that in the middle of the road in the town, a stone tablet that had been cut off in half, on which were engraved three big characters "Sweet Water Zhai".
There was no shadow of the spirit man in all the houses, the whole town was dead and silent, walking along the road not far away, between several houses, there was a small open space, and the open space was full of layers of various kinds of clothes, these clothes were stacked together in various postures, people who were not familiar with it, I am afraid that they thought that who used this open space as a warehouse for ready-to-wear clothes, but Zheng Fang understood that it was once a slaughterhouse, and the spirit man was killed and decomposed, but the clothes on his body were intact.
Yes, it is slaughter, if it is a fight between the two sides, the clothes will not be kept so intact, only when they are slaughtered, and they are accurately injured in the gods when they are killed, there will be such complete clothes.
Looking at this scene, Yu Kui couldn't help but shudder, he looked around, all the buildings in the entire town were still intact, but there was no trace of the spirit man's activities, which showed a strange gloom.
"How come? This town is so full of spirits, so lively. Yu Kui muttered in dismay.
This is the location of this Zhai's Qing Ceremony, and it can become Zhai, although it is the lowest level of governance in the spiritual world, but it also has not weak combat power, and it will be slaughtered, this is by no means a small battle, and it may even be a large-scale battle involving the hall or even the division, because if the war takes place under one hall, between different Zhai, the hall master will not allow one of his subordinates to kill all the spirits of another Zhai, after all, the number of spirits under his command still determines the overall strength of his hall and division.
This kind of massacre can only occur in a raiding, hit-and-run battle between different halls and divisions.
This sweet water is similar to the general town of the spiritual world, the houses are low and dense, the streets are narrow, Zheng Fang and the two walked forward to the center of the town, only to see a memorial arch standing in front of them, the front is engraved with four big characters "Hezhai Wenxiu", and the back is also four big characters "Dunyi Manxiang", facing this archway, it is a building that is completely different from other houses, quite imposing mountain-style building, the building eyebrow was originally hung with a plaque, but it is estimated that it was smashed down in the battle, revealing an empty scar above.
Seeing this house, Zheng Fang estimated that this was the Qingdian Zhai in Sweetwater Town, he led Yu Kui in and turned around, but as soon as he entered the door, he found that the pillars inside had collapsed, and the cabinets were horizontal, and he could barely get off his feet, Zheng Fang leaned out his spiritual power and sensed it, and found no trace of the spirit man, nor did he find anything good that interested him, and he led Zhen Kui out again.
Standing on the dead street, Zheng Fang was a little embarrassed, although he said that he came to this town to buy clothes for Yu Kui, but in fact, it was because of how to pick up the Star Sect again, he had no concept in his heart, he wanted to find someone to inquire about the road, but this sweet water Zhai became a dead city, and he really didn't know how to inquire.
If you have no choice, you can only use stupid methods, you can use your mental power to investigate slowly, and there is no problem with his mental power covering the entire city now, but this process cannot be disturbed.
"Yu Kui, I'll find out if there are any shops selling books and maps in this town, don't disturb me on the side. Zheng Fang admonished, and then released his spiritual power, covering the entire Sweet Water Zhai like a net, and then searched one shop after another.
Seeing him standing still, his eyes were white with fish belly, and he didn't know what Zheng Fang was doing, and he was afraid and admired in his heart, and besides, in addition to eating two spirit mice last night, he hadn't eaten water and rice until now, and he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, and he heard the ancestor tell him not to interfere, so he thought about whether he could find something to eat nearby. Thinking like this, Zhu Kui took a step forward and rummaged forward along the street in front of him.
Zheng Fang naturally knew about Zhen Kui's actions, but he didn't care too much, this sweet water was silent, and he didn't encounter any danger when he thought about it, so he also let him go, and the top priority was to find the spiritual map and know what to do next.
The whole Tianshui Zhai is not big, there are still thousands of rooms, among these thousands of rooms, there are more than 100 shops, each shop, Zheng Fang's spiritual power has to sneak in to investigate, the consumption of spiritual power is still not small, he has just searched more than 100 rooms here, and still found nothing, suddenly he heard an exclamation nearby, his heart sank, his spiritual power was instantly recovered, his body moved, and he pounced on the sound.
"Ghost, ghost, ghost......" ran not far, only to see Zhu Kui holding a salted fish-like thing in his hand, running out with his teeth and claws, shouting while still looking back, Zheng Fang flashed to his side and held his body.
"What's going on? Don't panic. Zheng Fang shouted.
"I ...... I saw a ghost in that room!" Chu Kui's eyes widened, looking at Zheng Fang in horror, muttering indistinctly, obviously frightened.
Looking at the house where Yu Kui ran out, Zheng Fang was also suspicious in his heart, his spiritual power obviously didn't find that there was anyone in that room, how could Zhen Kui see a ghost in it? Could it be that the guy in there has a higher realm than me and confused my spiritual power? However, the realm is higher than mine, is it necessary to hide like this?
"You wait here, and when you realize that something is wrong, you flee home. Zheng Fang instructed, and walked towards the room by himself. In fact, if he really met an opponent that even Zheng Fang couldn't deal with, it was really hard to say whether Zhen Kui could escape, but he knew that there was a situation in that house, but he pretended not to know how to turn around and walk away, but it was not Zheng Fang's character, after all, there were many ways to hide his mental power to investigate, and if he didn't really see the other party, how could he be scared away, and even if he met a master, he might not necessarily start fighting, Zheng Fang just wanted to ask for a way, and he didn't want to be the king and dominate in this dead city.
The haunted house is similar to the other rooms in this sweet water house, between the gaps in the gray and black walls, there are green and fluffy plants like moss in the human world, from the outside, the windows are hanging high on the top of the house wall, it is a design to prevent unscrupulous people from stealing through the windows, the door is made of some kind of plant, not like the left and right of the human world, but divided into two pieces up and down, at this moment, the lower half of the half-human high door leaf is still erected, the upper half of the door leaf is turned up, Zheng Fang through the door, it can be seen that the house is pitch black, all kinds of household items are also neat, not like it has been robbed, a unique pillar stool of the spirit family fell to the ground, and Wu Zi shook slightly, obviously it was knocked over when Yu Kui escaped just now。
With a slight vertical figure, Zheng Fang entered the room and looked at the pillar stool that fell to the ground, Zheng Fang was also a little speechless about these convenient spiritual people in the spirit world. He thought, it is really possible that the spirit man is really evolved from the monkey, not to mention the appearance or anything, at least this is the evil taste of climbing high and low everywhere, not that the monkey really can't get it.
The stone house in Soul Hunt City is like this, the door of this room is also like this, and the pillar bench that fell to the ground is still like this, a round one-person high pillar, with a slightly wider table on top, it's not a hobby that the monkey really doesn't squat on.
After a cursory search of the house, Zheng Fang followed the whereabouts of the Yu Kui to the back of the house, and inevitably had to do some jumping deeds along the way, compared with the houses in the human world, the house of this spirit man seems to deliberately retain the nature of the monkey, where he can walk well, he has to make some meaningless pits, and the stairs and steps cannot be found, and if he wants to go up, he can only jump.
The place where Yu Kui went should be the kitchen, but there is no kitchen in the Lingren family, it is more like a warehouse, which generally stores all kinds of food, through the kitchen, you can clearly distinguish the richness of a Lingren family, and there is a brazier on the ground in the center of the kitchen, which is where the Lingren occasionally cooks the pot stove.
In the warehouse of this so-called kitchen, because there is no window lighting, everything is dark, Zheng Fang's eyesight is excellent, looking around, he saw that the things stored by this spirit man are not very many, it should not be a solid one, the four walls are scattered and rely on some long strips of things, Zheng Fang doesn't know what it is, there are a few salted fish left on the ground that Zhen Kui just held in his hand, seeing this, Zheng Fang smiled slightly, in this dim warehouse, Zhen Kui was able to find this string of salted fish, the ability is still not small, thinking in his heart, Zheng Fang put the ground together, Zhen Kui can not miss three meals, he always forgets this stubble。
Just pinched the salted fish in his hand, suddenly there was a "pop" sound in the corner, in the quiet kitchen where the needle could almost be heard, this sound was like a thunderous explosion for Zheng Fang, he hurriedly followed the sound to look, only to see that between those long strips of things, there seemed to be some smoke wafting, because the room itself was very dark, not attracted by the sound, he was really not easy to find this.
