The people outside the alley stopped at the door of a house not far from the small courtyard where Shen Muzhi and they were, and then turned around and looked at the gate of the house for a while, and then continued to drag their steps and entered the house.

Shen Muzhi felt that this person was strange, like a living person, but not like a living person, after hesitating for a moment, he turned over and walked out of the courtyard wall, and quietly approached the house.

When he got closer, he found that when the man entered the house, he took a broom and was cleaning the courtyard as if he had returned to his own house. After cleaning, I took my things into the kitchen again, as if I was going to cook.

This made Shen Muzhi even more puzzled. Could it be that this person has been living here before?

If this is the case, in connection with what Xuan Cheng said before, if the living person stays in Yin City for a long time, it can explain why he has so much Yin Qi on his body.

It's just that this is a yin city, and logically speaking, there shouldn't be any living people. It was a strange thing that so many people entered the city at the gate before. Now the person behaves as if he has been living here for a long time, which is even more puzzling.

Shen Muzhi was worried about startling the snake, and he was also worried about the safety of Xu Ranran and the two of them, although he had doubts, he still retreated first, planning to wait for Xuan Cheng to come back, he was much better than him in this regard.

As a result, as soon as he returned to his courtyard, he found that the door of the room was open, Xu Ranran stood at the door with a anxious face, and as soon as he saw him, he immediately shouted urgently: "Uncle Xiao, that person just went out, I didn't stop him." ”

When Shen Muyi heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

He turned around and looked back into the alley, where there was no trace of the old man.

After only a slight hesitation, Shen Muzhi turned around and went back to the courtyard.

Seeing that he didn't plan to go out to look for him, Xu Ranran couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Uncle Xiao going to look for him?"

Shen Muzhi didn't speak, and walked to the house with her.

Children from poor families will have the ability to observe words and emotions since they were young. Xu Ranran immediately stopped asking more with interest.

After Shen Muzhi led her into the house, he closed the door.

As for that old ding, he really didn't plan to go out to find it.

Now Xuan Cheng has not come back, if he goes out to find someone, it is difficult to say how long it will take to come back, leaving Xu Ranran here alone, in case there is any accident, he and Xuan Cheng can't explain.

But if he takes Xu Ranran with him and leaves, firstly, when Xuan Cheng comes back, they will be anxious if they can't find them, and secondly, the depth of this city is unpredictable, if there is any situation, he is really not sure that he can ensure that Xu Ranran is protected, and when the time comes, he still can't explain to Xuan Cheng.

Compared with Lao Ding, a stranger who met in Pingshui, the safety of Xu Ranran, this girl, is naturally more important.

Moreover, Xuan Cheng had already saved him once, and he knew that it was dangerous outside, but he still had to leave here, so whether he lived or died could only depend on his own creation.

Xu Ranran, the girl, sat aside after entering the door, as if she was a little unbearable, and quietly turned her head to look at Shen Mu from time to time, but the words that lingered on her lips for a long time still didn't dare to say it after all.

About the time of tea, there was movement outside the house.

This time, the movement is not small.

Faintly, someone was also heard shouting, and the shouting was full of panic.

Shen Muzhi listened carefully, and his face suddenly sank. "Hide well, whatever happens outside the meeting, don't come out, don't make a sound. After Shen Muzhi called Xu Ranran and finished admonishing her, he took out a talisman that could conceal her breath and pasted it on her chest, and then stuffed it into a cabinet in the corner. Xu Ranran's eyes were full of panic, but she still didn't say a word very obediently, letting Shen Muzhi arrange her.

After Shen Muzhi finished this, he opened the door and walked out.

As soon as he went out, the courtyard door was pushed open with a bang, and the old man rushed in with blood. As soon as he entered, he stumbled under his feet and slammed into the ground.

As soon as he fell, several figures appeared outside the courtyard gate, and they rushed towards Lao Ding who fell to the ground with hideous faces.

If this old man didn't come back here, Shen Muzhi would definitely not go to him, and his life and death would not stir up any waves in his heart. But at this moment, this old man fell in front of him.

Shen Muzhi still made a move.

These few people who chased Lao Ding seemed to be the same people who had entered the city before, but their state was very strange, but it was obvious that they still had yang energy on them, which meant that they were still alive.

Shen Muzhi originally planned to kill them directly, but after thinking that these people might be able to find a way to get out of here, he changed his mind again. As his figure swayed behind them, the figures of these people froze, and then they fell to the ground one after another, fainting.

As soon as these people fell to the ground, among their seven orifices, black qi came out one after another, and before Shen Muzhi could react, they had already fled outside the door.

Shen Muzhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of those yin spirits in the poplar forest before. Could it be that these people are controlled by those ghosts?

So is it the same with the living person before?

Is this true of all those who entered this netherworld before?

In other words, after these ghosts left here, they took control of some people and then brought them back here.

This matter is very strange, but it also makes Shen Muzhi more sure that these people may really be able to find a way out of here. So, after a little hesitation, he picked them up and threw them into an empty room in the courtyard.

Lao Ding, who was lying on the ground, realized that he was no longer in danger, and got up from the ground with palpitations. After watching Shen Muzhi throw these people who had passed out into a coma into the empty room next to him, he hesitated for a moment and stepped forward.

"These people are all in the same caravan as me. Lao Ding stood aside, hanging his head and shrinking his shoulders, not daring to look at Shen Muzhi.

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then quickly remembered that Lao Ding had asked him if he had seen his companions before. At that time, he said no, and he really hadn't seen it.

Everything that happened in that caravan was outside the poplar forest, and Shen Muzhi was in the poplar forest, and he didn't know anything about the outside at all. Even when Lao Ding and his companion had an accident, although Shen Muzhi heard some sounds, he also didn't know exactly what happened.

However, at this time, Lao Ding's words made him basically determine the origin of those living people who entered the city before. It seems that nine times out of ten, those people are in the same caravan as Lao Ding.

"Does Childe know what's wrong with them?" When Shen Muzhi was silent, Lao Ding asked again.

Shen Muzhi glanced at him and said coldly: "If you guess correctly, you should be possessed by a yin spirit." ”

After Lao Ding heard this, he didn't wait for Shen Muzhi to ask, and talked to himself about why he left here just now. He said that he heard someone shouting his name, and the voice was very much like his caravan brother, and as soon as he was excited, he forgot what Shen Muzhi and Xuan Cheng had told him before, and went out. After going out, he didn't see anyone at first, and it wasn't until he walked out of the alley that he saw a few people, all of whom were indeed his companions in the caravan. It's just that he didn't expect that those people went crazy when they saw him, and they all rushed towards him as if they were going to eat him. If he hadn't seen too many strange things along the way, and he had been vigilant in his heart, he might not have been able to escape.

However, although he had fled, it was only after the movement just now that some beings in the city must have noticed this. This small courtyard is probably not safe anymore.

But now Xuancheng has not returned.

After Shen Muzhi thought about it, he asked Lao Ding to go back to the room where Xu Ranran was staying first, and then he entered the empty room next to him where the few people just now.

Once inside, he woke one of them up.

After he sobered up a little, he asked a few questions. It's just that after this person was possessed by the Yin Spirit, he seemed to be a little sane, and he didn't know anything about Shen Muzhi's questions, and he didn't even remember his name.

Shen Muzhi originally wanted to try to see if he could ask a little bit of information from his mouth about how they came to this Yin City, but now it seemed that it was impossible.

In desperation, he had to knock him out again.

Fortunately, not long after this, Xuan Cheng finally returned.

As soon as he entered the room and smelled the smell of blood in the room, Xuan Cheng suddenly became nervous. It wasn't until he saw that Xu Ranran and Xuan Cheng were okay that he relaxed again.

Shen Muzhi roughly told him everything that happened before, and then led him to the next door to see the few people who were knocked unconscious by him.

Xuan Cheng stared at those people, his expression couldn't help but be solemn.

Shen Muzhi looked at him and asked, "Have you found any clues?"

Xuan Cheng retracted his gaze, looked at him, and replied, "It is basically determined that the exit should be in the tower in the center of the city, but that place is not very simple." ”

Shen Muzhi thought of the black shadow he had seen on that tower before, and after a deep groan, he said, "I think what happened here may be controlled by someone behind it." ”

When Xuan Cheng heard this, he immediately nodded and agreed: "I feel the same way." ”

Shen Muzhifu looked at those people again and asked, "What should I do with these people?"

Xuan Cheng looked at those people and was silent for a while, then sighed: "Let's see the situation then." With that, he turned and walked outside. Shen Muzhi followed.

Then, the two went up to the roof. Standing on the rooftop, looking out toward the center of the city. The spire of the tower, high above all the cascading eaves, is clearly visible.

"What do you think this person wants to do?" Shen Muzhi asked Xuan Cheng softly.

Xuan Cheng thought about it and replied in a deep voice: "It may not be human!"

When Shen Muzhi heard this, his brows furrowed, and he was about to speak, when suddenly, the expressions of the two changed.

The yin qi of the entire Yin City surged up at some point, and they actually surrounded the small courtyard where they were. At this time, Shen Muzhi and Xuan Cheng stood on the roof and looked out, and they could see that countless shadows were surging towards them around them.

It seems that the 'person' behind it is going to do something to them.
