Chapter 243: Empty City

Since the disappearance of the assistant director Qi Ge that night, Shen Duo went to track down the whereabouts of the strange black shadow, and he has never appeared again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he chased all the way from the set camp to Nanshan, and saw the black shadow enter the valley, so he persevered and came from the path of the valley to the sulfur lake.

Shen Duo fought the black shadow several times in the valley and was almost driven into the abyss, but in the end he gained the upper hand, and the black shadow had to escape from the dark pit and fled into the dense forest by the lake, never to be seen again.

So these days, Shen Duo hides in the dense forest, because he can't tell the difference between day and night, when he wants to rest, he goes to the lake, builds a pit with stones, and sleeps in it, in case the black shadow comes to sneak attack.

Later, a few days later, two more groups of people entered Nanshan, and more and more people found the lake, set up tents by the lake, and planned to find the secret entrance to the fairy city.

The men were fully equipped, with guides and hounds, as well as some electronic equipment and satellites, and finally measured the height of the cliff on the side of the lake, intending to climb over the cliff face to reach the fairy city.

Shen Duo secretly observed, and couldn't figure out the origin of these people, so he never showed up, let alone planned to climb the cliff with them. When those people were gone, he still stayed in the dense forest and waited for the dark shadow to appear.

Later, the task force came to the lake in a rubber boat, and then Yunkang and they also appeared. From Shen Mouton's kidnapping and coercion of hostages, to a group of them entering the stone cave to find their way separately, Shen Duo followed behind, and his hidden traces were not discovered.

Yun Kang listened to Shen Duo say this, and his tone was understated, but he knew that it was not so easy.

How dangerous the path into the valley of Nanshan was, he himself experienced it himself, and he fell into the abyss if he was not careful. Shen Duo fought with the black shadow a few times, and then slipped from a dark pit to the lake, which was exactly the same as what happened to them, the routine was repeated, and it was exactly the same copy.

He couldn't help but ask Shen Duo, did Brother Qi find it, and what is that black shadow, you can't catch it even a master in the late stage of the Yellow Order?

Shen Duo shook his head and said that Brother Qi couldn't be saved, he was caught by the black shadow, and when he fell to the bottom of the cliff, he turned into a human skin patty.

As for that strange black shadow, sometimes like a shapeshifter, sometimes like a black bat, its body can be flattened at any time. As soon as it was in the dark, it immediately deformed, and its body was flat and lying on the stone wall, like a shadow skin, and it was impossible to distinguish at all.

Just because the black shadow is too cunning, it has been slipped away by it a few times.

Yun Kang felt that he was talking about a human-faced bat, but it didn't quite look like it, Shen Duo described that the black shadow wore a black hooded cloak to cover the whole person in the dark, but the bats they met were all white faces, wings and bodies were also white. And bats are animals and do not wear clothes and cloaks at all.

The two exchanged opinions with each other and studied for a long time, but they didn't have a clue. Yan Fucha next to him yawned and said, "You two haven't seen each other for a long time, and you chatter endlessly when you see each other, can you sleep for a while and recuperate enough to deal with that bad guy surnamed Shen." ”

The two of them had endless words to say when they met, and they left him aside as air. Yan Fucha snorted lowly, indicating that he was dissatisfied, and then got into the sleeping bag, curled up and fell asleep.

Yun Kang and Shen Duo both closed their mouths and lay in a sleeping bag each, squinting their eyes, but they couldn't sleep.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep, so Yunkang thought back on what he had experienced and carefully pondered what was wrong.

Most of the warriors in the cave were seriously injured, and three others died. At that time, they were in a hurry to chase people, and they didn't care about these warriors at all, thinking that it would be better to leave it to the task force to deal with.

They didn't even pick up a weapon, so they hurried out of the cave to track down Shen Mouton. Coming out of the stone cave, I soon arrived at a majestic immortal city, only to see that it was surrounded by craggy cliffs, besieging a complete ancient city of the Ming Dynasty in the middle.

At night, the darkness was dark, and the ancient city was extremely dark and damp, shrouded in a cloud of miasma, without a trace of fresh breath, like a huge abandoned cemetery.

The three of them ran back and forth around the city wall, but they couldn't find Shen Mouton's figure at all, and the four gates of the city wall were all closed, the bronze lock on it had grown mildew, and the cracks of the doors were rusty, and they hadn't been opened for many years.

The bluestone city wall is more than ten meters high, and Yun Kang visually inspected it, and it is about the same height as the Ming city walls in Nanjing and Xi'an. It's just that the city walls here are shrouded in miasma and poisonous fog all year round, and the walls are covered with mottled moss and poisonous things.

The tall vermilion gate was closed, the vermilion paint fell off and turned into a gray color, the copper nails were entangled in layers of spider webs, and they used flashlights to shine on it, and saw countless spiders crawling densely, as if it had become a huge spider's nest.

The miasma around was very serious, Yun Kang gave the gas mask to Shen Duo, and then hung it above the city wall with a flying claw rope, and the three of them stepped on the slippery city wall and climbed up.

When they entered the city, they saw that there were ruins and broken walls everywhere, and it was eerie and chilling. A thick fog shrouded the dilapidated houses, and the paper-pasted window lattices swayed in the wind, making an eerie rattling sound.

Yun Kang's scalp was numb, where is this immortal city, it is clearly a ghost city.

The three of them discussed, and Shen Mouton's kid was familiar with the terrain around here, so he might use other methods to enter the fairy city. Instead of running around and bumping around, it is better to brake quietly, find a place to rest, and sleep to recuperate.

If Shen Mouton wants to open the secret realm of the fairy city on the night of the full moon, he must use blood sacrifices, so he must not be able to bear it, and when he takes the initiative to find the door, they will cast nets to catch fish.

While there are still more than ten hours, they have a good rest and sleep, this trick is called waiting for the rabbit and catching the turtle in the urn.

After discussing it, the three of them looked for a suitable house in the empty street.

The main street in the city is very spacious, with buildings and houses on both sides, various stalls with iron frames, tiles and fences, and you can vaguely see the prosperity of the past. But they chose a few houses with carved doors and windows to enter, and found that they were completely different from what they had imagined, each house was old, the beams and pillars were crumbling, and the sound of the door shaft opening and closing was like a ghost's scream.

In the end, it was easy to find a decent big house, a two-story Ming-style building with an attic, the interior of the house was paved with large bluestone bricks, and there was no furniture at all, and it was empty except for eight wooden pillars and stairs.

The three of them looked at the house and looked at the layout of the house, and found that there was a front counter and a plaque, although it had fallen a thick layer of dust, it was also quite magnificent, and it should have been a luxurious inn before.

Yun Kang took out three sleeping bags from the Dragon Swallowing Ring, laid a floor on the bluestone floor, lit a kerosene stove, and burned some pills to remove miasma, which allowed Shen Duo and Yan Fucha to take off the gas masks on their heads and get into the sleeping bags to rest.

The temperature was very low at night, so they boiled hot water from a kerosene stove to drink, and their hands and feet were finally warmer.

Shen Duo stayed in this dark place for many days, and he had no concept of time, Yunkang looked at his watch a few times, and found that the watch hands were not moving, and the screen was completely black when he took out his mobile phone. He estimated in his heart that it was about two or three o'clock in the second half of the night, and he should have a good night's sleep.

Yan Fucha's snoring soon sounded, and with Yunkang and Shen Duo helping him keep vigil, he didn't worry about anything and slept very peacefully.

Yun Kang closed his eyes and breathed in, and after cultivating for a while, he was still unsettled, so he had to hastily collect his work, opened his eyes and asked, "Shen Duo, what treasures are you looking for when you come to this immortal city?"

This is the most critical question that has been bothering him for a long time. A group of people gathered in Eight Immortals Town, working tirelessly, not afraid of fatigue, and risking their lives, what was so attractive, Yunkang was very curious.

Shen Duo didn't answer, took out two cigarettes from his pocket, threw one to Yun Kang, and said: "This is a herb to dispel miasma, the humidity is too heavy at night, take two puffs to remove the cold." He lit one himself with a lighter, took a few hard puffs, and spat out clumps of smoke from his mouth.

Yun Kang took the herbal cigarette, lit it and took two puffs, and was immediately choked by a strong smell of herbs, and the smoke that wafted out made his tears flow out.

Shen Duo was born in the Wumen, and he was the best at restraining poisonous miasma, and the poisoning herbs he used were also very violent, and when he saw that Yunkang was choked by the smell of smoke, he squinted and smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you couldn't stand this smell." The implication is that the Witch Spirit King is actually afraid of the smell of poisonous herbs, which is really a miracle in the world.

Yun Kang secretly scolded two sentences, and did not refute his words, it took a long time to get used to the smell of smoke, and after a few more puffs, he found that the aftertaste wafted out a mint aroma, which quickly calmed people's minds.

Shen Duo smoked half an herbal cigarette and finally said something, which made Yunkang feel extremely shocked.
