Chapter 546: Old Scholar

The night of the city of vain is really long and weird, the first half of the night is still the bright moon, the street is silent and terrible, and in the second half of the night, the moon is covered by heavy black clouds, an ominous feeling from the bottom of Shen Yuheng's heart, Shen Yuheng only felt that her fingers moved unconsciously, and then, she saw that the street that was still empty was instantly occupied by the crowd. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The surging crowd wrapped Shen Yuheng in a narrow way, and Shen Yuheng didn't know where they were going, nor where he would be taken.

The faces of the souls around him were all blue, and that numb look made Shen Yuheng's heart freak, these souls ...... It was as if he had long since died, and now only a shell remained.

In the dark night, there were only those green eyes.

Her hand was suddenly grabbed by a withered hand, and she reflexively tried to break free, but this hand was too powerful, like a lock, and clasped her wrist so tightly that the thin five fingers almost sank into her flesh.

The man pulled her to run quickly, but in such a crowded crowd, Shen Yuheng didn't feel any obstacles.

The breath in her ears was intertwined into an ominous ballad, and the numb and strange faces quickly swept in front of Shen Yuheng's eyes, and she was retrograde in the crowd, and the person in front of her grabbed her wrist tightly, as if she wanted to break her wrist.

After staying away from the crowd and almost running to the edge of the city of vain death, the man stopped panting, and Shen Yuheng saw the appearance of the person who was holding her tightly.

He carried a lantern and a gong in his other hand, but the fire in the lantern had long been extinguished, leaving only a handful of ashes, wearing a square scarf on his head, and a Confucian shirt on his body.

"Shhhhh He mysteriously put his index finger to his mouth, and then looked around again, and found no trace of other souls, before he breathed a sigh of relief and put down the lantern gong in his hand.

"What are you pulling me for?" At this time, Shen Yuheng finally withdrew his hand and looked at him with a frown.

"Can't you see? They're all ghosts! The man looked at Shen Yuheng, his eyes were full of panic, Shen Yuheng looked at the man's gaze, and inexplicably felt that this gaze was very familiar, but this feeling was fleeting.

"Aren't you too?" This person seems a little strange, it is clear that there are souls in this dead city, why is this man still afraid because other people are ghosts? And in the city of vain, why did there appear such a scene? Shen Yuheng had already turned many thoughts in his heart, but his face was silent.

When the man heard Shen Yuheng's words, his eyes suddenly widened in horror, and he reflexively looked down at his feet, and then breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the shadow that was blurry because of the moonlight, which was almost invisible.

"No, you see, I have shadows, they are all ghosts, and there are no shadows! If they find out, you won't even know how you died! The man looked at Shen Yuheng nervously, waved his hand again and again, and said.

Shen Yuheng was surprised, shadow? Where is there any shadow of this man! She couldn't help but look at her feet as well, but all she saw was a black piece of land.

Where is the shadow?

"But you're dead." Shen Yuheng pointed to the big hole in his chest, generally speaking, the soul that enters the city of vain death will change back to the way it was before it was alive, as if it was alive, but this person still maintains the appearance of when he died, and the two blood holes in his chest are still gurgling with blood.

The man was even more frightened, and looked down at Shen Yuheng's line of sight, but only saw that on the flattened chest, two blood holes looked strange and infiltrating.

He's dead? How could he die!

He's clear, he's clear......

The man's eyes widened instantly, looking at himself in disbelief, and then at Shen Yuheng.

yes, how did he forget that he was dead?

The man smiled bitterly, he had been dead for so many years, but he still didn't remember the fact that he was dead, and no one had ever told him that he was dead.

Died under the hooves of oxen, under their own indiscriminate kindness.

"The girl was frightened, but those ghosts were really untouchable." The man's expression quickly returned to normal, bowed to Shen Yuheng, and said with a wry smile.

"Why can't you touch it?"

The man sighed before he slowly explained the taboos in the city of vain.

Every fifteenth, those souls who have reached the end of their lives but cannot leave will turn into ghosts, looking for living souls everywhere to pay tribute to them in exchange for the opportunity to continue to live.

If there is no sacrifice...... These souls who have lived an end of life but cannot leave the city of vain will die violently when the first ray of sunlight appears, but it is not all, some lucky ones can stay.

Shen Yuheng listened thoughtfully to the man's words, whether it sounded from Grandma Sun or this man's words, if he wanted to solve the current situation in the city of vain death, then the only way was to let the souls in the city of vain death who had reached the end of their lives be able to reincarnate.

If they can't be reincarnated, then all the ways are to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

But what is the cause of the changes in the city of vain?

The man went on to say, it turned out that this man was a scholar in his lifetime, and his name had been forgotten by him, and then he died in the city of vain death, and now he has become an old scholar, fighting in the city of vain death.

Shen Yuheng listened to the experience of this scholar, but he inexplicably felt familiar, and when he heard the old scholar say that he was trampled to death by a scalper, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

No wonder she's so familiar! Didn't that scholar named Xuan'an die like this?

She couldn't help but look at the old scholar a little strangely, these two people, are they having similar experiences, or is one of them lying?

Because of Xuan'an's actions, she didn't believe a word of Xuan'an's words, but after experiencing what happened to Grandma Sun and Xuan'an in the city of vain death, she was already vigilant against everyone in this city of vain death.

After all, people who are still smiling and smiling may be calculating you in their hearts!

Shen Yuheng couldn't help but shudder, this old scholar is really kind-hearted, and has other plans?

But I heard the old scholar continue:

"Now this city of vain death is overcrowded, and every time a new soul comes to the city of vain death, those people will kill other souls that are dying to make room for new ones."

He said exactly the same thing as Grandma Sun.

"Poor little Ai Yao in the west of the city, at such a young age, he wants to taste death."

Shen Yuheng felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart, and his eyes fell on the old scholar's face, as if he wanted to find out something else from the old scholar's face full of vicissitudes.

"Who's that new ghost?" Shen Yuheng heard his voice. (To be continued.) )
