Chapter 108: Ghosts Wander the City
That night, Mu Chen lay in bed and did not sleep. Seeing that the time was approaching, Mu Chen hesitated to go out secretly. But the words of the maid before were still lingering in Mu Chen's mind at the moment.
But if you don't go out, the coffin forging body in the past few days will be in vain.
According to what Xin Mule said that day, the physique of a martial artist is fundamental, even if he has entered the realm of transformation, he must not give up the tempering of his body, and the matter of forging his body is like sailing against the current, if he does not advance, he will retreat, and he must not slack off even for a day.
So since then, the method of sealing the coffin and forging the body that had been stopped has been picked up by him again.
The silence in the Rain Pavilion was terrifying, and it seemed that no other sound could be heard at this time except the sound of water in the pool.
Mu Chen was still hesitating, and I don't know how long it took, a burst of sobbing came from outside Mu Chen's door.
"Who's there?" Mu Chen asked.
It's just that as soon as Mu Chen finished speaking, the sobbing sound seemed to disappear.
After tossing and turning for a long time, he finally got up slowly from the bed and tiptoed towards the door.
"Squeak ......" A slight sound of the door opening sounded, and Mu Chen looked around, vigilantly observing the situation in the courtyard. It was only a full moment later, but nothing unusual was noticed.
Mu Chen shook his head slightly, as if he was a little self-deprecating, and then walked into the room, closed the door, turned around and went back to the bed.
The crying before "Woo......" came again.
Mu Chen frowned, turned around suddenly, opened the door and looked at the source of the sound in the distance.
Under the shadow of the moon, a white shadow was sitting on the rockery of the large pond by the Listening Rain Pavilion at the moment. Mu Chen hesitated, whether to go out of the Tingyu Pavilion and go to the edge of the rockery to see who was crying there.
But recalling the maid's solemn admonition when she was leaving, Mu Chen was still deterred.
It's just that when Mu Chen looked up again, he found that the white shadow on the rockery had disappeared, and with it disappeared with the mournful cry.
"Little brother, I don't know what year it is?"
A chill instantly rose behind Mu Chen, and he suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
A little girl of eight or nine years old was standing there at the moment, wet and still low on the ground.
Although Mu Chen is only ten years old, at best, he will be eleven years old in a little more than a month, but in the past two years, he has been in the middle of the night, in the vicious swamp and dense forest in the southern Xinjiang to seal the coffin and forge his body, although he just heard the voice a little chilly, but he did not feel much fear of the strange little girl who suddenly appeared in front of him.
There have been many strange things in this southern Xinjiang since ancient times, and midnight is even more bizarre. In the past two years, Mu Chen has seen a lot of bizarre things.
"Little brother, I don't know what year it is?" The little girl raised her head at this moment, her face was pale, and she looked at Mu Chen expressionlessly at this moment and asked.
Mu Chen didn't speak, just looked at the little girl in front of him with interest, and with a gesture with one hand, the green jade spirit coffin in the room waved and stood beside Mu Chen.
As soon as the little girl saw the green jade coffin, she took a few steps back, and her pale little cheeks, which had no expression, were now a little more frightened.
"It turned out to be a ghost, but I don't know what kind of ghost it is. It's actually in the middle of this heavenly city. Mu Chen muttered, but no longer paid attention to the little girl in front of him, and walked straight towards her.
In the past two years, he has seen too many things like ghosts in the middle of the night in southern Xinjiang.
This thing is the product of the derivation of a person after being killed by a demon beast.,It's okay.,There's no aggression.,It will only use some old-fashioned routines to guide passers-by to their host monsters.。
Sure enough, Mu Chen passed through the little girl's body without saying a word, leaving no trace at all.
"Don't follow me, I'm going to seal the coffin and forge the body, and don't blame me for being rude if you follow me again. If I hadn't seen that you were eaten by monsters and turned into ghosts when you were younger than me, I would have done it a long time ago. Over the years, I have encountered no less than a thousand ghosts in southern Xinjiang. Mu Chen felt the chill a few feet behind him, and warned without looking back.
"That's why I don't want to go out at night? But also, how can the hardships of our tribesmen surviving in the swamps and forests of southern Xinjiang be understood by people like Amagi who live a carefree life. Maybe for them, the ghost is the most annoying. After all, the big people in the Heavenly City don't care about such small things as ghosts. Mu Chen thought so.
But what Mu Chen didn't know was that in the Heavenly City on the thirtieth day of July tonight, whether it was those big people or ordinary people, all the doors of the houses were pasted with rune paper patterns at this moment. The same was true in front of Mu Chen's own door, but he didn't notice it himself.
Mu Chen carried the green jade spirit coffin on his back, and slipped out of the non-mansion after a few turnovers.
Regarding the sealing of the coffin forging body, at this moment, Mu Chen can no longer be satisfied with the soil alone. When he entered the city today, he looked for a nice place.
That is the confluence of the moat outside the Celestial City and the Trapped Dragon Abyss!
Mu Chen is going to use the pressure brought by the turbulent water tonight to improve his physique!
When I came to the huge street of the heavenly city, there was no one at this time. Mu Chen was a little strange, he had heard that the night market in the three cities of heaven, earth and man was quite lively. Especially in the middle of the month and at the end of the month, the shops in the night market are all lit up until dawn.
"Sure enough, the rumors are too many to count. Mu Chen pursed his lips and complained in his heart. But his steps were a little quicker, and he walked briskly towards the gate.
It's just that what Mu Chen didn't notice at this moment was that in the dark corners of the main street, a pair of eyes were looking at Mu Chen, a person walking alone on the street. It's just that I don't know what I'm afraid of, and I don't show my figure.
Mu Chen walked for about half an hour, he looked at the sky, according to the position of the starry sky, he knew that the hour was about to pass at this moment, and the time was coming.
The south gate was not far from Mu Chen, and he quickened his pace a few more times.
When he came to the city gate, Mu Chen found that the city gate was closed, and the city guard did not see anyone. Although it was a little strange that he didn't see a castle guard, the absence of a castle guard meant that he could easily climb the city wall without using some troublesome means.
Although the entire moat is not as wide as the dragon abyss, it is also more than 100 zhang away. Mu Chen got off the city wall and walked around the moat to the east.
When the moon is in the sky, the child is in the hour.
In the Heavenly City Feifu Listening to the Rain Pavilion, Fei Yike suddenly opened her eyes! A martial spirit of the nine-tailed demon fox turned out with her eyes open.
"It's not good, today is the thirtieth day of July! Mu Chen's little guy has to seal the coffin and forge his body every midnight! The thief girl heard that Yuge must only care about her own enjoyment, and forgot to tell Mu Chen that tonight is a ghost tour of the city once a year, and the day of the Dragon Soul Riot in the Dragon Yuan!"
