Chapter 15: The Ghost Village
Yeqi sat cross-legged on the bed, recalling the cultivation methods recorded in ancient books. Hold your breath and feel the mysterious energy between heaven and earth surging towards the dantian.
Yeqi felt that with the Xuanqi in the dantian running in circles with the Yuan Dan in his body, Yeqi was immersed in cultivation, and the ingots next to him were sleeping on the bed, and even the tip of his nose was still hanging with snot bubbles, and the picture was quiet and beautiful.
until
Bang, bang, bang.
Yuan Bao was startled, snot bubbles slipped from the tip of his nose, and fell off the bed for a while. Muttered. "Oh, it hurts the master to death, which one of the eyes knocked on the door early in the morning, did you want to scare the master to death?"
"Is the young boy here? The young city lord of my family wants to invite the little boy to go to the front hall for breakfast. I wonder if it's convenient for the little boy in the night?"
Ye Qi opened his eyes when he heard the sound coming from outside the door, and saw Yuan Bao rubbing his forehead with his forelimbs on the ground, and the handful of white hairs on his head trembled slightly, as if expressing his anger. Seeing that Yeqi opened his eyes, he didn't care that he had a headache, and quickly jumped into Yeqi's arms. His eyes blinked as he looked at Yeqi.
Yeqi instantly understood the meaning of the ingot, smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, touched the forehead of the ingot, the ingots squinted his eyes comfortably, for the sake of Qiqi being so good to it early in the morning, the master forgave the person outside who made people dream early in the morning.
Yeqi looked at Yuanbao's comfortable little appearance, and then said, "Wait a moment." ”
Yeqi washed up, retouched his face to be more masculine by the way, and pushed the door out.
When the little guy saw Yeqi come out, he couldn't help but sigh a little, it was late last day, and he was busy back and forth, but he couldn't take a serious look at the appearance of this little boy. At first sight today, this night boy has handsome eyebrows and a tall posture, which looks a little more handsome than their young city lord. In the past, everyone in this mansion thought that the young city lord was the most handsome man in this Luoling City, but now, he has gained a lot of knowledge. The little guy took Yeqi all the way to the front hall, and along the way, the people in the corridor garden frequently looked sideways, and in an instant, even the little guy's figure straightened a little. After a while, Yeqi came to the front hall.
Ling Xiao saw the little guy coming over with Yeqi from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him excitedly. "Night Boy, you're finally here, please take a seat, please take a seat!"
Ye Qi looked at the excitement in front of her, and sat down as usual, in the past, in the organization, she also treated some seriously ill patients when she was in a good mood, she has seen a lot of this kind of excited expression, and she has long been used to it.
As soon as Yeqi sat down, Ling Xiao picked up a glass of wine and looked at Yeqi, "Yegongzi, thank you so much for saving my mother, since my mother has been ill for more than three months, my father and I have been looking for famous doctors for the past three months to no avail, fortunately, it is Yegongzi who has taken over the city list, otherwise I really don't know when my mother will recover." This glass of wine, I respect you, from now on, you are my Ling Xiao's brother, as long as you say a word, I Ling Xiao will go all out. ”
Yeqi picked up his wine glass and said. "Ling Gongzi doesn't have to be so polite, it's just a matter of taking what you need. ”
"No, no, Yegongzi, this may be a matter of taking what you need, but for me, for my father, it is really a great favor. Ling Xiao waved his hand and said excitedly, "Anyway, I recognize your brother, Ye Gongzi, no, Ye Qi! From now on, you will be my Ling Xiao's seventh brother." After speaking, he looked at Yeqi expectantly.
Ye Qi thought to herself, the main purpose of her coming to Luoling City was to find the granddaughter of the old man Wu, if the young city lord of Luoling City was really willing to help, she would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Raising his glass, "Since the young city lord has said so, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." ”
"Is that right? Seventh brother, don't call me any young city lord in the future, just call me Ling Xiao. ”
"Okay, Ling Xiao. ”
"Come, Brother Seven, try this special food of our Lingxiao City, this is what I asked the people in the house to queue up to buy early in the morning, this is a limited quantity. ”
Ye Qi picked up the food, "Ling Xiao, I really have an important matter when I come to Luo Ling City this time. ”
"Seventh brother, what do you say?"
"I want to find someone, a little girl, about fifteen years old, with a little tear mole under the corner of her left eye, ten years ago in the western district of Luoling City, after all, it has been ten years, I don't know where I am now? ”
"The West District, that side is a mixed place, in our Luoling City, the ghost village in the West District is the most difficult place to control, there, I don't know from what there has been a ghost market, people from unknown sources trading goods from unknown sources, although they take what they need, but it will inevitably attract revenge and killing. If the people who were there ten years ago, what is the situation now, and where are they still there, it's really hard to say?" Ling Xiao said with a worried frown.
"However, Brother Qi, don't worry, I also have a few people I know in the West District, and I must send someone to look around, by the way, does that little girl have any other characteristics?"
Yeqi remembered the last words of the old man Wu and nodded, "Yes, she also has a butterfly-shaped tattoo on her back." ”
"This feature is not easy to find! You can't pick up other people's little girl's clothes to see if there are tattoos!" Ling Xiao never thought that what he was saying unintentionally now would become a prophecy, and in the end, he really used this method to find the person he was looking for.
"So, I need your help at this time. ”
"Seventh brother, don't worry, as long as this person is still in Luoling City, I will definitely be able to help you find out. Otherwise, after helping my mother with the needle today, Brother Seven, I will take you to the ghost village in the West District to have a look. ”
Ye Qi had this intention and nodded in agreement.
It was night, and the Luoling City of Nuoda was not quiet because of the coming of the night, but in this beautiful night, it was singing and dancing, and the lights were brilliant, showing the prosperity and peace of Luoling City. However, after Yeqi came to the ghost village in the West District, he didn't have this feeling.
Yeqi and his party came to the West District from the City Lord's Mansion, and the hustle and bustle along the way came to an abrupt end. Here, it seems that the darkness of the night, the tranquility, the gore and the fear are truly felt.
"Seventh brother, don't be fooled by the tranquility in front of you, these are all fake, I think when I first came here, looking at the quiet, dim gate in front of me, I thought that this self-contained ghost village of the West District is nothing more than that, and its rumors are exaggerated by outsiders. But the fear in it can only be felt by those who have experienced it firsthand. ”
Ling Xiao looked at Ye Qi's calm face, he felt that Ye Qi's current cultivation was only Chixuan advanced, although he had just stepped into Zixuan Intermediate now, but he was really afraid that Ye Qi would not pay enough attention to the ghost village in front of him, so he said earnestly.
Yeqi looked at Ling Xiao with a worried look, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and there seemed to be a look of contempt for the world in his eyes. "Don't worry, I'm more desperate than anyone else. ”
Ling Xiao seemed to feel that the Yeqi at this time seemed to be a little different from the Yeqi he saw during the day, and it seemed that he did not have the approachable and graceful nature of the daytime. The current Yeqi is full of a, a sense of danger. Ling Xiao shook his head, it must be too dark, he was wrong.
No longer bothered about this, he immediately took a step forward with Yeqi and showed a special token to the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper glanced at it and reached out to hand Ling Xiao the two ghost masks.
Ling Xiao handed one to Yeqi and explained. "This ghost mask is the rule of the ghost market in the western district since its establishment, everyone wears a mask, whether it is seeking revenge or killing people, it has nothing to do with the ghost market. Yeqi nodded slightly. The two put on ghost masks and stepped into it with their feet raised.
As soon as he stepped into the ghost village, Yeqi seemed to feel a cold and bloody aura rushing towards him, and the blue flames burned on both sides of the street, adding a trace of horror to this place as if he was in hell. There are some herbs, pills, ancient books, martial arts techniques, and all kinds of colorful dark stones, and even some mysterious beasts on the stalls on both sides, and you can see ghost-faced buyers and sellers arguing everywhere. From time to time, groups of people can be found looking around, as if they are looking for something.
Yeqi and Ling Xiao casually looked at the people setting up the stalls on both sides, observing if there were any little girls about fifteen years old who were setting up stalls alone.
At this moment, another street was facing another group of people walking this way.
"Ninth Master, my subordinates have sent people to search everywhere near the Luoyan Forest in the past few days, but they haven't found any traces of the Night Maiden. Presumably, he may have left the Falling Flame Forest. "Shadow Four reported the situation to Emperor Jiuqing in the past few days, but he secretly muttered in his heart, since the Ninth Master rescued Emperor Xiyue from the vines in the volcano, several people returned to the ground together, but there was no figure of the Night Girl everywhere, if it weren't for the fact that the Ninth Master was indeed in good health these days, Shadow Four seemed to have an illusion that the Night Girl had never existed.
Di Jiuqing listened to Ying Si's reply, and a trace of suffocation rose in his heart, as well as a trace of worry. What came out of the volcano was that Di Xiyue was burned by magma and the red spots that grew inexplicably on his face, which had already been brought back to Jiudu by the Seven Elders. He didn't have any reason to stay here, but it just so happened that Ying Yiying and Er reported that the demon clan had recently made a lot of movement in Luoling City, and Emperor Jiuqing immediately decided to leave after dealing with the affairs of the demon clan here, and looked for Yeqi by the way during this period. Shadow Three and Shadow Four also hope to find Yeqi. After all, the ninth master is talented, and it is better to say that he found the five vine grass this time, if not, Yeqi is a very important person to them.
"Send some more people, expand the scope, and look for it in Luoling City. The usual cold voice sounded. In the past few days, he knew that if Yeqi came out of the Luoyan Forest, he would definitely come to the city closest to the Luoyan Forest, and then he would definitely be in Luoling City.
Yeqi stopped suddenly, followed the prestige, and looked around. How did she feel that just now, it seemed that she heard Di Jiuqing's voice.
"Seventh brother, what's wrong? Could it be that you have found it?" Ling Xiao saw Ye Qi's sudden stop, and hurriedly asked.
"No, I was wrong. ”
"It's okay, Brother Qi, it's only the first day, don't worry, you'll find it." Ling Xiao was afraid that Ye Qi would be sad, so he comforted.
