Chapter 61
The little doll carefully looked at the Bodhi fruit in my hand, and nodded unexpectedly well, which was regarded as acceptance. The pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info took it away with a wave of his hand, turned around and crawled towards a place.
I was happy, I didn't expect it to be so smooth, and explained in His Majesty's ear in a low voice, pulling him to follow the little doll.
Adults have to follow the pace of crawling babies, and they can only walk and stop.
This ghost market seems to be extremely deserted, and there are only dozens of ghosts I have seen along the way, I tried to ask the little doll for news, and he babbled seriously for a while, but I couldn't understand a word.
The little doll led me to the door of an inn, pointed inward, meaning that it had been brought, and left without looking back.
I was stunned for a moment, and before His Majesty could stretch out his hand, I stepped forward and pushed open the closed door. There was a lot of dust on the door, and I thought that if His Majesty was allowed to touch it, he would be uncomfortable for a long time.
The door creaked open with a slight push of my fingertips. The glow of the outside of the house leaked in, casting shadows of me and Your Majesty on the ground, and the fluttering dust was clearly visible in the light. I put my sleeve over my lips with one hand, took a step inside, and leaned over to look inside the door.
It was just an ordinary, dilapidated old-fashioned inn, with a thick layer of ash on the tables and chairs, and it was empty.
"Three lives?" I whispered.
There is no ferocious aura here, I preconceived that there will be no danger, and even vaguely guessed that after martial law in the capital, Sansheng had nowhere to go, so he temporarily settled here.
But I waited for a long time and didn't respond. His Majesty took the lead in stepping inward, and said lightly, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
I stole a glance at him out of the corner of my eye, and if it had been before, His Majesty would never have stepped into such a dusty room, and he would not have seen any ghosts. Actually, there is no need for such a ......
I tried to persuade him not to force him, but I swallowed the words again, but after His Majesty had taken two steps forward, he realized that I had not followed, so he turned back and naturally took my hand, stopped me behind him, and asked, "What's the matter?" Is there something scary in there? ”
I didn't know what to say, so I silently withdrew my gaze from him, for fear of exposing the wavering in my heart, shook my head, and rubbed my nose again: "There is too much dust here, and it makes people uncomfortable." ”
His Majesty nodded, not saying anything more.
Unlike my thoughts, which fluctuate, His Majesty was calm throughout. When dealing with things related to people, he is the leader who should be in charge, so he has always been strong and in control. But when it comes to the matter of ghosts, he will not intervene and interfere with my judgment in a particularly conspicuous way, but calmly and calmly follow, calming and combing me when I am panicking.
Even if he couldn't see the ghosts and had no spells, he still felt like an indestructible backing.
Your Majesty is all right.
I turned around and re-examined the inn.
It's just that I like it more and more, which isn't great.
……
The dust on the ground is level, and there are no signs of anyone stepping on it. But even if they are in Sansheng, they are ghosts, and they can't step on any traces with floating ones. The only thing this dust proves is that there has been no one here for a long time.
It's just three or five days, the accident in Cloud City has been going on for so long, why hasn't the Heavenly Mirror Palace been able to get the news for a long time?
For some reason, with the beginning of the turbulent days in Shangjing, the Tianjing Palace in my eyes gradually changed its original appearance, and it became unrecognizable.
There is quite a bit of space in the inn, and the first floor is a lobby with many tables and chairs, which is clear at a glance, and it is obvious that no one will hide in it. I glanced back at His Majesty and headed straight for the second floor.
The old and dilapidated wooden staircase gave the illusion of great unsteady, and I always watched my step, afraid of stepping into the air without paying attention, and only when I reached the last floor of the staircase did I notice a little dark red stained on the handrail.
There was fog and formation shrouded in the cloud city, and the light was already dim, even more so inside the house. I didn't light the lamp, so I had to lean down and lean over the pole to take a closer look, and at the same time I reached out and touched it, and my fingertips lightly touched the dark red spots.
There was a fragrance on the spot, very faint, but familiar.
The smell of Lethe grass.
It was only because I had been taking it for a long time and soaked it that I was used to the smell of it, so I didn't notice it when I first entered the inn.
"Tick."
The slight sound of water came abruptly from the corridor, and I followed the sound to see that at the end of the corridor on the second floor, in the dim light source, there were two black shadows standing silently.
One looked like an ordinary potted plant, the other was an indescribable blurred shadow, shriveled and stiff hanging there, like a coat. But who would hang their coats here?
I couldn't make up my mind, so I silently exchanged glances with Your Majesty, and just as I caught a glimpse of the door of the room facing the staircase, I went in and lit a candlestick, and the two of us walked together towards the end of the corridor.
"Valley...... Rain? ”
I vaguely heard someone calling me, but the creaking of my feet on the wooden planks was too good to hear. I immediately stopped my pace and held my breath, and His Majesty spontaneously stopped without my warning.
"Gu Yu?"
This time, it was the shriveled and stiff "thing" that hung on the wall.
The firelight hit the darkness at the end of the hallway, and I was stunned, my eyes widening and my nose souring.
Sure enough, it's three lives.
But he is no longer the appearance of a young man, his skin is as shriveled and black and yellow as an old man. His face was sunken, and he couldn't see any facial features similar to His Majesty's, but like a skull covered in skin. His body was twisted into an indescribable posture, and a pitch-black chain protruded from the wall through his lute bone, pinning him to the wall and hanging.
There was a very deep wound on the wrist, the cut blood vessels were clearly visible, and the blood in it seemed to have been drained, and the blood that overflowed from the wrist flowed slowly as if it was about to coagulate, but it never coagulated, drop by drop, falling in the nearby potted plant.
His mouth was open, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible, and his cloudy, trance-like eyes moved slightly and burst into tears when they finally caught my face clearly.
opened his mouth silently: "Gu Yu, save me." ”
……
I never expected that the reunion with Sansheng would be such a scene.
His body seemed to have been overdrawn to a limit, and when I cut off the chains on his body and pulled them out of his lute bones, two drops of blood came out of such a large wound.
And Sansheng's whole person convulsed and trembled for a moment, and then completely fainted.
I looked at the two hollow wounds in a daze, my heart twisted fiercely, and I clenched my teeth with my chains, who could do such a thing that lost my conscience! It's hateful!
His Majesty could see the chains in my hand, crouched down, and gently smoothed my frowning brow with his fingertips, as if he did not like to see such an expression on my face. "Found someone?"
I picked up Sansheng, and my heart was confused and resentful. After all, I took the grit that belonged to him, and if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have ended up in the field he is today. “……”
"He's in a bad situation?"
I rubbed my eyes twice before responding, "Yes." ”
……
The faintness of three lives is two days.
found Sansheng, and everything that happened in Cloud City was naturally revealed.
At the beginning, Sansheng came out to play with Xuanling, but he was unexpectedly expelled by the Tianjing Palace, and when he reacted, he couldn't enter the city again. Xuanling knew that it was inconvenient for Sansheng to stay away from the gravel, and said that she wanted to think about it, and the ghost market on the side of Cloud City, which was closest to Shangjing and still existed, came here in circles.
As soon as I arrived here, I met the Hades wide open, the Yin soldiers borrowed the way, the people in the city died, Xuanling and the ghosts in the ghost market were detained and brought back to the underworld, only he imagined a Lethe grass and stayed in the jade walnut, so he temporarily escaped a catastrophe.
By the time he came out again, due to the large number of dead people and the blood resentment was too strong, the formation here had already been transformed into a fierce formation. Before he could set foot in the ghost market, he was discovered, captured, and imprisoned in the inn. The man bled endlessly day by day, refining the purest power of the underworld in his body, intending to drain his blood and then make medicine to introduce and replenish it, squeezing out all the surplus value.
The Yin Soldier borrowed that I knew that things would only happen when there was a major natural disaster. But in addition to being empty, Cloud City has not encountered traces similar to mudslides and earthquakes, how can there be Yin soldiers to take advantage of it?
I have doubts, but Sansheng knows so much, I look at his current state, and it is already the limit to be able to speak after two days of sleep, and I can't bear to ask more. After being silent for a moment, he was still particularly resentful of the person who hurt him so much, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you still have an impression of the person who captured you?" "Those who need the power of Lethe Grass must be cultivated.
He was stunned.
"What's wrong?"
"I've seen his face." Sansheng was soaked in the gravel spiritual spring, only the skeleton-like face was exposed on the water, and when he frowned, the wrinkles on his face were particularly obvious, and he was still weak, "But I can't remember anything." ”
I sighed softly.
His tone had irreversibly changed from the innocent and relaxed he had been, and I knew that he must have hated it, that he had been subjected to inhuman abuse, and that it was impossible for his state of mind to recover too quickly.
I hadn't seen him for a few years, and his cold and cold tone made me a little strange. patted him lightly on the shoulder: "When I went, there was no one guarding you, which means that the people who imprisoned you were not sure to take you with them." "I found a treasure, but I couldn't hide it with me, which proves that he is a person who is not in such a calm situation. There are many evil ghosts in the ghost market, and the interest in Lethe grass is not high, Sansheng only wears a chain on his shoulder blades, which can prevent the evil ghosts from touching, who would have thought that a simple layer of defense, but it has dragged on for so long. "In that case, he will cast a spell early so that one day you will be rescued or run away, and you will not go back to seek revenge on him."
Sansheng's breathing suddenly rose and fell significantly, and his eyes turned red.
I didn't know how to comfort him, so I got up slowly: "You rest first, and when the injury is healed, we will discuss the matter of harming your person." ”
