Chapter 142, Chance Encounter......
After that, Mo Feiming told Chu Haoge about the opening method of the ghost gate "Yang Gate", and there was a wall in the far east of the ghost gate, which was about the width of five people's hands and more than three people high, which was the Yang Gate of the legendary ghost gate.
This wall does not show the shape of a door, because it has not been opened, on both sides of this wall, there are two bright lights, if it can be lit two lights, the ghost door will be opened, but these two lights must be lit at the same time, if the slightest difference, the ghost door will not open, if it is only so, Mo Feiming can also use magic to light it himself, but when lighting the two lights, there is a taboo.
That is, the true qi in the body must be sealed, once one of the lamps receives a trace of the true qi of the yang world, the ghost door will not open, so this time the two must work together, and the virtual tacit cooperation is.
"I see." Chu Haoge nodded, and then he knew why the head of the sect wanted him to come over.
Mo Feiming said again: "As for opening the ghost gate, Brother Chu will stay outside, and I can go in alone." "This is also what Mo Feiming asked with the head of the sect at that time, after all, there are many unknowns in the underworld, and Chu Haoge is not a disciple of Qingyun no matter what he says, so he should not be allowed to go in and take risks.
It's just that the head of the house has already seen it, maybe Chu Haoge wants to enter the underworld for another purpose, so he pretended not to know, and gave the two of them two ghost king orders, if Chu Haoge doesn't want to enter, then wait outside, even if the task is completed, if he wants to go in, he can take the ghost king order, and he can be safe.
"That's not going to work." When Chu Haoge heard this, he was like a fried cat, and quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Mo came with me, how can I let Brother Mo let you take the risk alone?" In fact, Chu Haoge was taken aback, in case Mo Feiming didn't let him in, how could Murong's immortal Gu be solved?
Aside from the underworld, where is he going to find the colorful glazed jade to solve the Gu for Murong?
Seeing this, Mo Feiming was very moved, looking at Chu Haoge, he said very seriously: "Brother Chu's feelings today, I Mo Feiming remember it in my heart. ”
"I ......" Chu Haoge was a little embarrassed, his face was a little red after being suffocated, it seemed that Mo Feiming had misunderstood, thinking that Chu Haoge was just worried about his safety and wanted to follow, which made Chu Haoge a little embarrassed, inexplicably let Mo Feiming admit his feelings, and was thanked by others, he opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but thinking that if he said it, it would definitely be even more embarrassing, so he closed his mouth.
After a while, Mo Feiming and Chu Haoge went out together again, to find a shop, to buy some torches and the like, which they would need to use when opening the ghost door.
On the way, Chu Haoge kept thinking, why did the Yang Gate, which opened the ghost gate, use fire to light the lamp? I can't figure it out.
Later, he asked Mo Feiming, and Mo Feiming explained to him that among the gossip, the fire hexagram is separation, the so-called hexagram of fire separation, the middle void, the middle void. (In the gossip, the fire is yang from the upper and lower lines, and the middle one is yin, hence the name from the middle void.) )
Although the fire is yang on the outside, it is yin on the inside, which is in line with the yang gate of the ghost gate, so it is necessary to ignite the fire and light the lamp to open the formation.
Chu Haoge had read the Book of Changes in the Four Books and Five Classics before, but he didn't understand the slightest, he only read some skins, and today it seems that the mysteries in it are difficult to understand in his life, and this legendary ghost gate actually contains the rules in the Book of Changes.
Mo Feiming and the others searched back and forth on the streets to see if there were any grocery stores, but today it seemed that almost all the people in the city were almost gone, and the shops were closed.
When they were about to leave the inn, they asked the guy, and the guy said that it was all because the Midyear Festival was approaching, and the ghost gate was about to be opened, so the people ran to avoid it and came back after the Midyear Festival.
It turns out that on weekdays, under the pressure of the Hades and those who are ordered by the Hades King, those evil ghosts dare not be vicious, but when the ghost door is opened, the entire capital city will be very chaotic, at this time, those evil ghosts will also take advantage of the chaos, and there is a legend in the city, saying that during the Halloween Festival, the evil ghosts harm people, and there are very many people who lack souls and few souls, and even lose their lives.
Therefore, there is such a custom in this capital city, on the eve of the mid-year festival every year, the people in the city will all move away from the city, and when the mid-year festival passes, they will come back, so whenever the mid-year festival, this city has become a veritable ghost city, almost a huge empty city, only a few people will not leave, those people or bold people who do not believe in evil, and then those merchants who do things for the ghosts under the king of Hades.
When these merchants fell in love with those ghost cultivators, they had amulets, and the evil spirits were not allowed to get close, so there was nothing to fear.
The guy also secretly told Chu Haoge and the two that their shopkeeper had a friendship with a ghost cultivator, so he dared not leave at this time, but he also opened a store to increase the house price.
The two walked a long way before they found a grocery store with an open door, and Mo Feiming and the others walked in.
Let's talk about Chu Haoge's side, and then talk about Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qiantaro here.
Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qiantaro went to the top of Qingyun Mountain together and flew into the clouds with the air shuttle, but Murong Xiaoyan was not very proficient in the operation of this air shuttle, so he only dared to fly slower, not too fast, in case he accidentally fell from the sky, it would be bad.
In addition, Murong didn't know the road, and the two of them hadn't arrived in the capital city for a long time, until later, Murong Xiaoyan found that there was no coordinate guidance in the air, so she got lost gorgeously, and she didn't know where to fly with Jiuli Qiantaro.
However, this speed was a little slow, so it was a lot of unjust roads, and I knew that when I saw the city not far away, there were three big characters written on it, and it was already in the afternoon, and the sky was a little dark.
Although the two were a little tired, they were also very excited to see that the capital city was in front of them, so they left and walked towards the city on foot.
When the two of them walked into the city, they were really surprised when Chu Haoge and the others just entered the city, Murong Xiaoyan turned his head and asked Jiuli Qianyu and said, "This is the capital city?" ”
Jiu Li Qiantaro nodded in affirmation.
Murong Xiaoyan asked again: "Why is there no one?" ”
The two of them came later than Chu Haoge and the others, and by now, almost all the people in the city had gone, and even the city guards in the city had left, presumably far away from the capital of the city.
In the eyes of the two, this is basically an empty city, Murong Xiaoyan once heard the story of the empty city plan from the master, and thought that he was returning to the Three Kingdoms period at this time, but it was unrealistic to think about it.
The two walked into the city together, preparing to look for Chu Haoge and them first, but there were so few people in the city that they couldn't even inquire, so they walked around the city for a long time, and all they saw were shops and houses that had closed their doors.
Murong Xiaoyan was a little panicked, there was almost no one in this city, Chu Haoge and the others couldn't have had an accident.
Seeing that Murong Xiaoyan was so nervous, Jiuli Qianyu said: "Miss Murong, you don't have to worry, tomorrow night is the time when the ghost gate is opened, and no one can open the ghost door before that, so Chu Gongzi and they should not have entered the underworld." ”
Murong Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that this deserted empty city was a little terrifying, and asked, "But in such a big city, why is there no one?" ”
Jiuli Qiantaro frowned, looked at the closed door of the house next to her, and then looked at the closed shop, she said, "Miss Murong, look. So saying, she walked to the door of the man's house, touched the knocker, and said, "The knocker has not fallen into ashes, it seems that the family has only been gone for two days, and it is not in a mess, it seems that they have been prepared for a long time, and it does not look like something bad has happened." ”
She walked to the side of the shop again, and looked carefully inside, although the door was locked, she couldn't enter, but she could see it clearly, "In this shop, it's just a simple tidy-up, and the utensils are basically taken away, just locked in the store, presumably they are only temporarily taken away, and they will come back in a few days." ”
Listening to Jiuli Qianyao's speculation, Murong Xiaoyan nodded, but he didn't quite understand, why did these people in the city take a lot of trouble to take it away? Want to bring it back?
Jiuli Qiantaro speculated again, this is probably related to the opening of the ghost gate a few days later, presumably because the people in the city were afraid of being hurt by evil ghosts, so they went to take refuge.
"Then where should we go to find Chu Haoge and them?" Murong Xiaoyan asked.
Jiuli Qiantaro frowned and said: "Let's look for an inn in the city, Chu Gongzi and they came to the city, the first thing should be to find a place to stay, let's go to the inn to find a place, there will be a harvest." ”
To say that this Jiuli Qiantaro is really powerful, you can guess the reason why these cityseers took it away just by speculation, and you can also lock the location of Chu Haoge and the others.
"Okay." Murong Xiaoyan nodded, and the two of them looked for inns in the city, but after looking for a long time in the city, many inns were closed, they were a little disappointed, and suddenly, they saw that there was really an inn not far away that had not yet closed.
They hurriedly walked over, and after entering the inn, a man came up to greet them, and when they saw two beautiful girls, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they said very enthusiastically: "Two girls, are you going to be a tip or a hotel?" As he spoke, his eyes wandered back and forth on the two of them, and Murong Xiaoyan was a little uncomfortable looking at him.
"We're looking for someone." Murong Xiaoyan said.
"Oh." The fellow nodded, led them to the counter, and said, "Then you have to ask our shopkeeper, two, please." ”
The shopkeeper behind the counter saw that his eyes were also a little straight, and he asked, "...... two girls?"
Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, Murong Xiaoyan asked, "Have you seen two people ......?"
Listening to the description of the two, the shopkeeper really remembered that it was Chu Haoge and the two, after all, Chu Haoge was very eye-catching with such a giant sword on his back, but if he directly told these two girls, if they didn't rent a shop here, he would make less money at that time, so he pretended not to see it.
The two of them said: "The two girls might as well stay in the small shop first, there should be only one inn in our city that is still open, if the person the two girls are looking for is in the city, they will definitely come here to stay." ”
"......" Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qiantaro glanced at each other, and then Murong nodded and said, "Well, okay then." ”
"The two girls are going to stay for a few days, and our room here is five taels of silver a day." The shopkeeper said.
Murong Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Don't want a Tianzi room, just an ordinary room, open two." She also thought that the shopkeeper regarded her as a big sum, and he was talking about the price of a high-grade Tianzi house.
"The girl laughed, our Tianzi room here is already full, and the five taels a day I said is an ordinary ......" The shopkeeper said this, and quickly shrunk his neck, he suddenly remembered that when the two came to complain this morning, the conversation with him was like this.
Sure enough, as expected by the shopkeeper, Murong Xiaoyan almost lifted the counter, and exclaimed: "Ordinary rooms cost five taels? Why don't you grab it?! "But fortunately, there aren't many people dining on the first floor now, so there aren't many eyes on it.
"......" The shopkeeper looked helpless, looked at Murong Xiaoyan, remembered Chu Haoge who came before, and said in his heart that this woman must have come to find those two people, and the reaction was the same, maybe it was the wife who came to find a husband, it really can't be said that a family doesn't enter the door......
Murong Xiaoyan looked at the shopkeeper with an angry face, took a sip, and said secretly: "What a profiteer." So he pulled Jiuli Qiantaro and prepared to leave the inn, "Qiantaro, let's go." ”
The two of them walked out, and the shopkeeper also sneered, and said in his heart: "You can find the second inn in this city that opens the door, I count you as powerful." "I'm afraid these two will have to come back after going out for a walk.
The shopkeeper continued to pick up the abacus, and suddenly, he heard the footsteps in front of him suddenly stopped, and the shopkeeper smiled helplessly, and said in his heart: "I regretted it so soon, and I still have to stay obediently?" So he looked up.
When he looked up, he saw that the two women in front of him did stop, but because two people walked in at the door, these two people were not bystanders, they were the two people they were looking for.
Chu Haoge and Mo Feiming were stunned when they saw Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qiantaro, Chu Haoge rubbed his eyes even more, his eyes looked back and forth on Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qiantaro's faces, a little incredulous, and said to himself dumbfounded: "I'm ...... Hallucinations? ”
Mo Feiming turned his head to look at Chu Haoge, then at Murong Xiaoyan and Jiuli Qiantaro, and said to the two: "Murong girl, Jiuli girl, why are you here......"
After this sentence, the four people did not speak, but stood quietly, like four wooden stakes, looking at each other.
Chu Haoge's brain "buzzed", he had been hiding this matter from Murong Xiaoyan, how did she know? Did Murphy say it?
He believed that Mo Feiming would not talk much, not to mention that they had been together since last night, Mo Feiming had no chance to say it, he thought about it, and secretly scolded the old man in charge, presumably this matter was told to them by the old man in charge, although he wronged the head of the house, but how did Chu Haoge know that it was Jiuli Qiantaro who guessed it hard?
Chu Haoge looked at Murong Xiaoyan and asked with a little weakness, "...... you How did you guys get here? ”
