Chapter 61: South City

God Wen Yu took the holy decree and asked Shang Zheng: "Does the second brother know about this?"

"Go back to the main hall, the second hall should talk to Your Majesty in the hall!"

Wen Yu held the holy decree in his hand and nodded, but his heart was not a good taste, and he left when he was still fighting...

Today, the two of them are going to Nancheng...

As soon as he left the hall, Bai Zhen had already seen Wen Yu waiting outside the hall, and arched his hand: "Big brother!"

"Is it all right?" Wen Yu leaned behind him with one hand

Bai Zhen nodded lightly, and the two of them looked calm and unpressed.

The two of them landed on a passenger path, this passenger path, narrow and long, although narrow, but not meandering, but this passenger path seems to have not been walked for a long time, there is no trace of a carriage, and there are a few fallen leaves.

"Why did the second brother come here?" asked Wen Yu Shangshen as he looked at the guest path

"Follow this path, you can go to the land of vision, and if you meet people on the way, you can find a way to dispel questions!"

Wen Yu nodded, and the two of them slowly walked to...

Wen Yushang stopped talking a few times, and finally asked, "Father Emperor announced that you are going, have you explained this matter carefully?"

Bai Zhen shook his head: "No, I only told the scattered immortals who went there that none of them survived!"

"There is no life left... How dangerous it is?"

"Father told me to be careful!" Bai Zhen went to Shinto

Wen Yu's hand clenched silently behind him, he knew better than anyone else that the holy decree he received only had a task, not an instruction.

After walking a little further, the two saw a tea house on the side of the road, which was simply built with bamboo poles and mats.

But this tea house is empty, only a skinny looking at people, with vicissitudes in his eyes, sorrow mixed with his eyebrows, his hair has turned gray, he looks like he has not been taken care of for a long time, he looks a little messy, his eye sockets have sunken, and he is dressed in coarse linen.

Bai Zhen approached and said, "Old man!"

The old man also clenched his fists, his hands were protruding with blood vessels, his nails were slightly yellow, full of cracks, full of wrinkles, and very rough: "Childe, how many bowls of herbal tea do you need?"

Bai Zhen went to God and said: "Four bowls!"

"A few sons sit down first, wait a while!"

Bai Zhen and Wen Yu sat down, and Mo Chen and Yicheng stood on both sides.

Bai Zhenshen looked at Mo Chen and said, "You sit down together!"

Mo Chen arched his hands and panicked in his heart: "Minister..."

Bai Zhen looked at Mo Chen and didn't speak, just watched, no matter what Mo Chen saw in Bai Zhen God's eyes, in an instant, Mo Chen gave up his hand and sat down.

Wen Yu lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled, and said to Yicheng: "Yicheng, you also sit down and rest!"

Yi Cheng arched his hand: "Your Highness Xie!"

The old man took the herbal tea and put it on the wooden case: "A few sons use it slowly!"

Bai Zhen asked, "Old man, can I ask you where the front is?"

The old man's voice was hoarse and low: "Not far from here, there is Nancheng!"

"We came all the way, and we didn't see anyone, such a poor and remote place, the old man opened a tea house here, I'm afraid it will be a depression and bleak!" Mo Chen said after taking a sip of herbal tea

When the old man heard it, "Childe doesn't know, this place is not a poor country!"

"Old man, this... It's not a poor country!" also Cheng pointed his finger around, indicating the remoteness of this place

The old man said, "This place was not the case before, although it is not as busy as the bustling resort, but the people in the city are diligent, hard-working, this southern city, every household raises silkworms, the strong men in the family are working hard in the cold and summer, and the women raise silkworms at home, and then make silk from the silkworms, and then wait for the merchants to come!"

"Hearing you say that, this place can be regarded as Zhong Lingyuxiu before!" Mo Chen said

"Then why did you become the way you are today?" asked Wen Yu

The old man sighed: "A few years ago, somehow poisonous snakes and beasts appeared in this city, and for a while, blood flowed and corpses were everywhere. ”

"What happened later?" Yicheng asked hurriedly

"Later, there were always some strange noises in the city, some people said that there were man-eating monsters in the city, and some said that the people who died tragically did not look blind and turned into ghosts, which attracted many monks, and there were many monks who went in, but none of them came out!" said the old man

The old man paused and asked, "Why did the sons come to this southern city?"

As soon as Yicheng was about to speak, Bai Zhen rushed to say, "Ranger knight, hoe the strong and help the weak!"

The old man's eyes showed admiration, and he arched his hand: "Take care!"

When Bai Zhen and Wen Yu got up, Mo Chen had to pay the old man for tea, and the old man repeatedly excused himself, and said that he admired chivalrous people very much, and he couldn't hoe the strong and help the weak with them when he was old, and gave them a bowl of herbal tea, so that they could rest their feet and be satisfied in their hearts.

In the end, Bai Zhen God still instructed Mo Chen to secretly put an ingot of silver on the wooden table.

The plaque outside the city has accumulated thick dust, but a southern character can still be faintly seen, and there is nowhere to know where the city character has gone.

The huge rubble formed the barren ruins of the southern city, the lives were devastated, the former southern city became a ruined wall, and the beautiful mountains and rivers of the past became a purgatory on earth.

Approaching the city gate, the city gate was wide open, and through the gate, you could see that there were still people walking in the city, and Bai Zhen and Wen Yu entered the city gate and entered the city.

The city is peaceful, on both sides are teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops, there are many small vendors with big umbrellas in the open space on both sides of the street, some carry the burden and hurry, some drive ox carts to deliver goods, some drive donkeys to pull trucks, and some stop to enjoy the scenery of the Bianhe River.

As soon as Bai Zhen and Wen Yu entered the city, this peace suddenly stopped, and the people who were busy also stopped, everyone looked at them, and in a moment, they returned to busy...

The second little boy of the first shop bent down slightly and trotted over and said, "Are the guest officers sharpening or staying in the hotel?"

Mo Chen looked at Bai Zhen, Bai Zhen nodded lightly, and Mo Chen said to the shopkeeper: "We live in the hotel!"

The shopkeeper's eyebrows opened and said, "Okay!

"Xiao Er, do you have a fun place in this southern city?" Mo Chen asked

"What's fun?" the shopkeeper pondered for a long time, "A few guest officers can go to Mengyuan Lake!"

"Mengyuan Lake, isn't it just a lake, what's so special?" Mochen asked suspiciously

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Guest officer, don't underestimate this dream lake, this lake can have spirituality, according to legend, this lake can see their fate in this life, a few guest officers can go to see, however, it's just a legend, don't do it true!"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned around and went to prepare the guest room...

"Go and see!" Wen Yu said to Shinto

Several people went together and came to the Mengyuan Lake that the shopkeeper said.

The endless lake is as bright as a mirror, there is not a single wisp of wind on the surface of the lake, and the lake light is as clean as an unpolished jade plate.

On the surface of the lake, there is a simple plank bridge made of light wood strips, which can be walked side by side, and the plank bridge has many branches, which should be for tourists to play, all of which lead to a pavilion in the center of the lake.

Bai Zhen and Wen Yu walked across the wooden bridge, and they could also make a 'squeak!' sound, and Mo Chen and Yicheng also followed.

A pavilion, there are stone benches and stone tables in the pavilion, but the difference is that there is a simple stone bowl on the stone table, which looks slightly larger.

A few people sat down, looked at the stone bowl, and then looked at each other, Yicheng looked at the stone bowl and found that there was a word 'edge' in the bowl.

"Your Highness!" Yi Cheng pointed to the words on the stone bowl and shouted Wen Yu

Wen Yu Shangshen stretched out his hand to touch this word, and said with a puzzled expression: "What is the use of this thing?"

Yicheng wanted to pick up the stone bowl, but who knows, the bowl seemed to be inlaid in the center of the stone table, unable to move, and Yicheng also tried to twist the bowl, but still did not move.

Seeing this, Mo Chen looked disgusted and said to Yicheng: "The dignified personal guard, you can't even hold a broken bowl!"

Saying that, Mo Chen still had a hint of ridicule on his face, and Bai Zhen said: "Mo Chen, pay attention to your words!"

Mo Chen arched his hand, and Wen Yu said: "It's okay, they are always vigilant and restrained on weekdays, and they can meet this beautiful scenery when they come out this time, and let them relax and relax!"

Bai Zhen nodded lightly.

Mochen got up, rolled up his sleeves, took a deep sip, and was about to pick up the stone bowl, so he was stunned and said, "Your Highness, there seem to be words on this stone bowl!"

Yicheng took a closer look, and there was indeed a line of words along the edge of the bowl: "See the beloved with blood!"

Mo Chen repeated with a blank face: "See your lover with blood?"

Mo Chen looked at Yi Cheng and said, "Yi Cheng, do you want to know what your lover looks like?"

Yicheng nodded like pounding garlic, looked at Wen Yu Shangshen, Wen Yu Shangshen pursed his lips and smiled.

Yicheng stretched out a finger, stretched his finger to the center of the stone bowl, gathered the true qi, a drop of blood will drop into the stone bowl, just drop into the stone bowl will suck the blood clean, the bottom of the bowl to form a tiny hole, like a pinhole, from the bottom of the bowl slowly poured into the lake.

When the lake was level with the edge of the bowl, Yicheng suddenly disappeared...

Mo Chen looked at the disappeared Yicheng, and suddenly panicked: "What about Yicheng?"

Wen Yu on the side was a little calm: "Don't panic, I can feel that he is here, and he hasn't moved a step!"

"What about the others?" Mochen asked anxiously

Just when Mo Chen was anxious, he saw the lake water in the stone bowl, slowly seeping down, until there was not a drop of water in the bowl, and it was also revealed that it was still in place.

A few people suddenly realized that when the stone bowl was filled with lake water, the person who was looking for fate would be hidden, and when he saw his beloved, the water in the stone bowl would return to the lake, and the person who was looking for love would be re-revealed.

Yicheng looked displeased, and Mochen asked, "Yicheng, can you see your beloved?"

Yicheng looked even more melancholy, but still nodded and said, "This woman... It's a little different from other women... Body... Plump, wide-hearted and fat!"

Before he finished speaking, Mochen laughed out loud.

Wen Yu looked at his guards and comforted: "This woman should be a rich and noble person!"

Yicheng looked aggrieved and muttered: "If that's the case, I'd rather not marry!"

Mochen said confidently: "I also want to see my beloved!"

Bai Zhen nodded.

Mo Chen's face was full of anticipation, so he stretched out his finger to the stone bowl, and a drop of blood dripped into the stone bowl, but for some reason, the stone bowl did not suck the blood that Mo Chen dripped in.

Mo Chen looked at the drop of his own blood at the bottom of the bowl and didn't react at all...
