CHAPTER XXIII

Fang Zhong put away the porcelain vase and was about to undress and rest, when he suddenly heard someone outside the door: "Brother Fang, Brother Fang." Then he knocked on the door again.

Fang Zhongdao: "Who?" ”

The man said, "It's me, Mo Lan." ”

Fang Zhongdao: "It turned out to be Brother Mo. When he walked over and opened the door, he saw Mo Lan standing outside the door, followed by the big brother Tong. Mo Lan smiled and said: "Liangchen is beautiful, how can Brother Fang close himself in the secluded room, it is better to go out for a walk with me." ”

It was rare for Mo Lan to be so kind to him, and Fang Zhong couldn't bear to brush his feelings, so he said: "Since Brother Mo is invited, how can you not accompany him." ”

Mo Lan said: "Why do you have to say it so much. When my sister often talks to me about you, she always says Brother Fang on the right and Brother Fang on the left, why are you and I so angry. As an older brother, why don't you call me brother brother as a big brother, how about I call you a little brother? ”

Fang Zhong arched his hand and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, junior brother has seen Big Brother Mo and Big Brother Tong." ”

Mo Lan laughed and said, "Brother Fang Xian is really an interesting person. Brother Tong, who was behind Mo Lan, also smiled slightly: "Thanks to Brother Fang, I can afford it, and I also call Brother Tong a certain big brother, and I ask Brother Fang for forgiveness for many offends in the past." In the next word 'Guang', people call Tong Guangtong Da Zhong, and Brother Fang calls me a big Zhong brother. ”

Mo Lan said: "The past is very much about it, but it's a pity that the little sister didn't come, otherwise everyone would have had a good time playing in the mountains and rivers together." ”

Na Tong Guang said: "Miss xìng is virtuous, but she doesn't like to run around." The implication is that this Mo Lan looks like he is causing trouble.

Mo Lan glanced at Tong Guang with disgust. The three of them didn't alarm others, Mo Lan didn't say where they were going, they just walked, Fang Zhong followed him in a blink of an eye and left the Heavenly Master Dao Beidou Zhi and walked towards a deep mountain behind. After about an hour, the three of them reached the halfway point of a high mountain. With the help of a raised rock, there was no shade on the left and right, Mo Lan stood on it, leaning into the distance. A faint cloud of smoke swirled in a blur, and a city covering a large area appeared in front of the three of them.

Although you can't look at the castle carefully, you can still tell the approximate size. The outline of the city faces west and east, which is relatively narrow and long, and the pattern is different from that of ordinary cities. The dilapidated city gates were closed, and there were some high-rise houses in the city, but most of them were deserted, and the shelves collapsed after the wind blew and dried, leaving only countless withered wooden pillars.

Mo Lan looked at it for a long time before saying, "There is nothing peculiar, the name of this Fengdu seems to be unworthy of the name." ”

Fang Zhong originally didn't know where this was, but after listening to Mo Lan's words, he exclaimed, "Brother Mo, this is Fengdu City?" ”

Mo Lan said: "Yes, did it disappoint you." ”

Fang Zhong said: "The Great Sacrifice Wine once said that this place cannot be intruded into, no matter what it looks like in Fengdu City, it has nothing to do with us. ”

Mo Lan said: "I didn't go in, I'm afraid it will do something." Besides, even if I really get in, a little yīn wind and evil spirit can help me. Brother Tong and I are good at warding off evil spirits, and we are not afraid of ghosts at all, and I also know a little bit about Brother Fang Xian's magical powers. If the three of us go together, there will be no difference. ”

Only then did Fang Zhong understand why Mo Lan had come to find him, and he had made up his mind to come to Fengdu City from the beginning. Mo Lan looked up at the sky, at this time the sun had already set, the crescent moon was still only half of its face, and the entire Pingdu Mountain revealed a sense of yīn forest in the night, dark and dull, as if there should be no place in this yang world at all, even the cold wind blowing over can penetrate the clothes and seep into the flesh and bones of people, making people shiver coldly.

Mo Lan said: "This cold air is the same as the cold air gushing out from the deep pool of my Invitation Moon Hall, which makes people extremely uncomfortable. ”

Fang Zhong said: "It's cold air here, it's clearly yīn qi." If Brother Mo must come to visit, it is the same if he comes again. ”

Tong Guangdao: "Don't hide it from Brother Fang, we arrived two times earlier than you, and we have already seen it, and it is still Fengdu City that Zhao Sheng personally accompanied and went to together." ”

Fang Zhongqi said: "Since you've seen it, why do you come again?" ”

Mo Lan said: "I can't see my eyebrows in the rì room, so I have to come at night." Don't you also hear the great sacrificial wine of Nama, this place is different from rì at night, and I guess there must be something strange about this place that must be revealed at night, and it is not visible during the day. We will not go in now, but only from this high place to see what strange things are in the city. ”

Fang Zhong said in his heart that it would be okay if he didn't go in, so he put his mind at ease again, but this place was very angry, and it was really a bit offended to stay here and look at the scenery.

Seeing the crescent moon rising in the east, the entire Pingdu Mountain was covered with cold fog, and it was getting thicker and thicker. And the Fengdu City in the distance is even more cold and foggy, and the originally faintly visible high-platform houses have disappeared one after another. Obviously, there was no wind sound in the cold mist, but Fang Zhong felt a gust of wind blowing past him from time to time. The wind did not come from heaven, nor from the south, east, west, or north, but it blew up from under the earth.

Mo Lan also noticed something strange and exclaimed, "It's really amazing, if someone in such an extremely yīn land cultivates the corresponding exercises here, they can get twice the result with half the effort." But it's also strange, this place is not only a year or two, it has already existed for many years, even I know this truth, why don't others know? ”

The eldest brother said: "Others must also know that this place is a place of extreme yīn, but no one comes to fight for it, so there is only one reason, the person who came to rob must have tried, but he did not succeed." I think it's either the Witch Ghost Dao or the Heavenly Master Dao that guards this place. ”

Mo Lan nodded and said, "Maybe so, but those who came to rob it are all dead." That Ma Wu said that someone came to hunt for treasure and disappeared, is that what he is referring to? ”

As the two were talking, Fang Zhong looked into the distance and was stunned, and said in surprise: "Then the city gate is open!?" Mo Lan and Tong Guang didn't pay attention to the city gate, they just looked at the hazy city outline, hoping to find a trace of change, and when they heard Fang Zhongyi's words, they looked at the inconspicuous and even dilapidated city gate together.

The city gate is a stone gate, divided into two left and right doors, and the gate is closed when it is closed in the middle, and there is no jack gate on the top, which is very easy to open. At this moment, the cracked stone door is quietly opening a crack.

Mo Lan said: "Brother Fang Xian can see who opened the city gate. "The eyesight of the two of them was actually inferior to Fang Zhong, and it was only after Fang Zhong reminded him that he saw that the city gate was really open, and he could accommodate one person. Fang Zhong said: "I didn't see anyone open the city gate, it seems that it was blown open by a yīn wind. ”

Mo Lan said: "How can there be such a coincidence, no matter how strong the wind is, it is impossible to blow the stone gate open." Let's go, take a look. Without saying anything, with a slight touch, he jumped up from the rocks, stepped on countless treetops and rushed straight down the mountain. That Tong Guang was bulky, but he didn't have such light skills, so he hurriedly said, "Wait for me." Just as he was about to find his way down the mountain, Fang Zhong on the side said, "Brother Tong has grasped it steadily." Immediately, a piece of rune paper was raised, and with a flash of fire, Fang Zhong and Tong Guang disappeared.
