Chapter 48: The Underground City (3)

Mengzi and I are too sensitive to the sound of this skeleton shelf stepping on the ground, once this sound suddenly happens, there must be that thing about to appear, and now I can't say anything to let Dacheng see that thing to endure painful torture, therefore, as soon as Mengzi and I heard this sound, our first reaction was to reflexively hold Dacheng and turn his head and run towards the gate of the courtyard, and when we ran out of the courtyard, we saw that there were gray ghosts on the street outside the courtyard and rushed to the night market in the center of the city unhurriedly. Fortunately, the ghosts didn't pay attention to our actions, just gave us a blank look and continued on their path. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In order not to encounter the infestation of ghosts, I and Mengzi set up Dacheng along the root of the wall and went up the steps leading to the gatehouse of the city wall, because the ground in the city was paved with silt more than two meters thick, so the exposed city wall was not too high, we didn't go high along the steps to the city wall, the reason why I would choose to take refuge on the city wall, one is because the ground above the city wall is higher, not covered by silt, no silt naturally less those skeleton shelves buried deep under the silt, The second is because the geographical location on the city wall is good, easy to observe, and the traffic extends in all directions, even if you encounter any danger, it is good to escape, no matter how bad, stand on the city wall and jump down to the outside of the city, at most it is three or four meters high.

It wasn't until I climbed the city wall that I realized that my pre-imagined thing was not at all, that there was no mud and skull shelves on the city wall, but it was full of broken human bones, and the ball-like skull was blown around by the wind. He fainted.

"Fanzi, do you see if Dacheng is too fragile these days, like a girl, he ...... like a girl, no matter what he sees, he will be scared and fainted......" Mengzi teased this Dacheng.

"Mengzi, you girl, don't make fun of Dacheng, he is smaller than both of us, it's good to have the courage to follow us here, don't worry, you and Dacheng are my good brothers, here I promise not to let you be hurt......" I said to Mengzi excitedly.

After I finished speaking, I didn't hear the echo of the fierce son, turned my face to look at the fierce son, and found that the attention of the fierce son was not on me, and his face became more and more pale, and even his body trembled......

At the corner of the castle tower about 300 meters opposite us, there is a skeleton frame wearing ancient samurai armor, floating so staggering in the air, no legs, feet and no arms, a skull of Bai Sensen is alone on top of the armor, seeing us dodging, as if he has something to say to us and is afraid of seeing us, I feel strange, since this armored warrior ghost does not hide his body, why is he afraid of us, is the spirit weapon on my body working, then I don't see it glowing.

I beckoned to the samurai ghost, and it staggered over, and I asked it, "Do you have anything to say to me......?"

The samurai ghost said, "I have something to say......

I asked it again, "Why do you see us dodging ,......?"

The samurai ghost replied, "Because you wear a statue of our lord around your neck, and you look like our lord, I dare not come and offend you without your permission......

I knew that the lord it was talking about should be Xiao Jian in my previous life, so I asked it, "Why do you call Xiao Jian your lord?" ……”

The warrior ghost said: "The city we live in is built by Xiao Jian and Xiangjun and his wife, a thousand years ago, it was Xiao Jian and his wife who saved us and brought us here to build our home together, so we named this city Xiaoxiang City, and later in order to commemorate the exploits of Xiao Jian and his wife, we named a canyon outside the city Xiaoxiang Valley, and also carved the huge statues of our lord Xiao Jian and Xiangjun on the cliffs on both sides. ”

According to the samurai ghost, I know that my previous guess was correct, that canyon is called Xiaoxiang Valley, and there is also a statue of Xiao Jian on the other cliff wall of the canyon, but I don't know if it looks like me.

I then asked, "What disaster did you suffer a thousand years ago, and what happened to Xiaoxiang City so that it is now a veritable ghost town?" ……”

The samurai ghost said, "This is the heavenly machine,...... Heavenly secrets must not be revealed. ”

Seeing that I couldn't get the secret I wanted to know from the mouth of the samurai ghost, I changed the subject and asked it, "Tell me, why do those ghosts see us as if they didn't see us when we enter the city, and what's going on?" ”

The samurai ghost told me, "Because those demons saw that you had a statue of the Lord around your neck, and that you looked so much like the Lord, they knew that you must have something to do with the Lord, so they didn't harm you......

Takeshi asked the samurai ghosts: "Why are those ghosts so cold and unloving to us......

The warrior ghost explained: "This can't be blamed on them, because those ghosts are different from me, I have always been with Xiao Jian's side before, those ghosts are not, and then Xiao Jian was tricked by his junior sister to use the soul nail to seal the lord Xiangjun in the Buddhist shrine, after the two turned against each other, the ghosts who stood on the side of Xiangjun no longer worship Xiao Jian's lord...... they don't treat you as enemies because they still remember Xiao Jian's good ...... in their hearts."

"So that's ......", Dacheng didn't know when he came to his senses, and when he saw that the samurai ghost had no malicious intent, he sighed with us.

As we spoke, we heard the sound of wooden wheels crushing the dirt from the end of the street, and when we looked up, we saw a black shadow wrapped in the dust in the distance, slowly drifting towards us.

I was about to turn my head to ask the samurai ghost beside me what was going on, but the samurai ghost just said in a panic, and the Black Wind Protector came to patrol the streets, and disappeared in a hurry.
