The past has passed, Mengli, Mo Wen, Lingmu, plus one Biluo, four people (one person and three demons?) left the Acropolis and headed northwest.

Wander the mountains and rivers, and be at ease.

In the middle of the month, the four of them arrived in a new town.

Desperate city.

The Jedi City was not originally a city, it was located between the Southern Yao Kingdom, the Northern Underworld Kingdom, and the Annihilation Hill Kingdom, due to the perennial war between the Three Kingdoms a hundred years ago, this place was originally inhabited, and it is no exaggeration to say that the land is vast and sparsely populated.

Later, after the battle, the remnants of dozens of soldiers who were unconscious and did not die, staggered to return to their homeland because of their wounds, settled here, and in the following years they took in prisoners who had been expelled from various countries, or civilians who had been driven out by famine.

Gradually, there was a desperate city. The lord of the city takes the meaning of life, it is a place for these poor or hateful people.

After that, the three kingdoms were at peace, and there was no war.

After a hundred years of development, the city has become an important place for transportation and a holy place for trade because of its proximity to the three major countries.

However, everyone who lives in the city knows that in the middle of the night, you must close the doors and windows, and do not go out for anything.

Especially on rainy days.

......

When the four of Mengli arrived at the Jeopard, it was a rainy day. It was raining lightly, and it was already very gloomy before night.

There was not a single figure in the whole street, but it looked very eerie and desolate.

The carriage circled around the city for a long time before a few people found an inn with lights on.

Lingmu jumped out of the carriage neatly, raised his hand to avoid the rain and ran to the steps to push the door, but found that the door of the store had been locked from the inside, so he had to knock on the door and shout: "Shopkeeper, is there anyone?"

There was no warm greeting from Xiao Er, but a somewhat frightened voice came from inside the door, "It's closed, it's closed, let's change the guest officer." ”

As the words fell, the lights in the inn went out.

Inside the carriage, Mo Wen looked at Mengli in contemplation, and asked, "What is Li'er thinking?"

"I'm thinking, no matter how early the people of this desperate city go to bed, it won't be before everyone sleeps at night, even this inn, if you don't do business, you have to close? ”

Mo Wen nodded approvingly, "I also think there is something wrong with this place." ”

Lingmu, who was standing at the door of the inn, was inexplicably taken a closer look, and was immediately angry, snorted secretly, and kicked the door of the store open with his foot.

"Bang ......"

Not surprisingly, panicked shouts rang out from inside the door.

Lingmu didn't enter the door either, and shouted at the carriage outside the door: "Miss come in, the door is open." ”

When the four of them walked into the lobby slowly, the lights in the lobby had been re-lit, and the two of them cowered behind the counter, looking at the four of Mengli cautiously.

Lingmu looked at the two people in the counter and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you shaking?

One of them, who seemed to be the shopkeeper, boldly said, "You, you...... Is it a living person?"

Lingmu frowned and said loudly: "You are not human!

The two people at the counter couldn't help but look at each other.

The person who looked like Xiao Er whispered to the person next to him: "The shopkeeper's ...... It's like, it's really a living person, they have expressions, and their faces are normal. ”

The shopkeeper nodded silently and stood up.

"Less, go close the door. ”

"Hey. Xiao Er, named Xiaoxiao, stood up neatly, walked quickly past the four of Mengli, walked to the door, poked his head out of the door, and turned around to close the door again.

Mengli looked at Xiao Er's movements and asked puzzledly, "Shopkeeper, I don't know why the door was closed so early?"

The shopkeeper calmed down, walked up to Mengli and the others, and said with a respectful smile: "The guest officers sit first, and the guest officers are from out of town, right?"

"Yes, I just arrived in the city, and I thought that I would be just in time to stay, but I didn't want to have almost no lights in the city, but it was like every family was asleep. ”

Mengli and the others sat down as they spoke, and Xiao Er on the side had already made tea quickly.

The shopkeeper sighed slightly, and said softly: "I don't know objectively, this desperate city was originally an ancient battlefield, and for thousands of years, countless people have died here. After the death of these many people, they have some obsessions in their hearts, and they have been floating on this ancient battlefield. ”

"This war spirit has a killing aura, compared to ordinary ghosts, it is much more powerful, every rainy night, it will definitely come out to wander, if it is possessed by them......"

When the shopkeeper said this, he inexplicably dragged his voice.

Biluo was in a hurry, opened her mouth and asked, "What's the matter?"

The shopkeeper smiled, "If you are possessed by them, you won't die, but you can't act on your own." These war spirits have been wandering for a long time, their minds are shallow, and they are burning and looting what they are stimulating to do, but the killing power is so strong that several people can't control it. ”

The shopkeeper described in a colorful way, "Although the possessed person will not die, the reduction of life expectancy is certain, and no one wants to die early, right?"

Biluo nodded cooperatively, "Yes, yes." ”

Mengli glanced at it, this shopkeeper is a good storyteller, and he is fascinated by Biluo.

So the lord of the city ordered that he should not go out after nightfall, after all, he was possessed, and his life span was short, and for others, it might be a ruined family. ”

Meng Li thought for a moment and said, "So, these war spirits will take advantage of the rainy day and the yin qi to find someone to possess them, and then burn and loot it?"

The shopkeeper's meal, although this statement is a bit weird, but it seems to be like this?

So, the shopkeeper nodded, and said two more words: "Yes." A few guest officers don't have to go out or open the window at night, even if it's not a rainy night, sometimes there will be war spirits, just less. ”

Mengli nodded, "Okay, we won't go out at night." The shopkeeper, serve us something to eat, and prepare three more rooms. ”

Xiao Er came over with a smile when he heard the sound, and opened his mouth to report the name of the dish.

Lingmu expertly interrupted him, and said neatly: "Don't report it, have a copy of the signboard, and add two pots of good wine." ”

Xiao Er was stunned, "Uh...... Good. ”

Walking towards the back kitchen in a gloomy manner, Xiao Er muttered secretly, why didn't he give him a chance to show his invincible fast mouth to report the name of the dish.

Satiated.

Lingmu stared fiercely at Biluo, who was satisfied, this little hoof was higher than the rank of the cloud fox grabbing food, there were so many delicious things, she ate a bite!

Those two hands also know what it's made of, and they are quick to pull the rice and the rice pick......

This little goblin is not to be underestimated!

Biluo looked confused, raised her hand and touched her face, "What's wrong with Sister Lingmu?

The voice of gnashing teeth came, "No ......"
