The thief didn't dare to easily pass through the two swords-rattling gangs, and I was in hot pursuit. So, it finally made a "life-saving" decision: throw away the bag!

I immediately gave up on pursuing it and quickly ran over to pick it up and hide it. The imp bypassed the two ghost gangs and ran into the right city opposite, and I seemed to see another of its accomplices hiding in the right city and waving at it.

At this point, there was no need to get to the bottom of it, so I made a "please continue" gesture to the members of the two ghost gangs, and quickly left, running back to Zuo City again.

I looked at the time on my watch,! It's already 10:50!

There are only ten minutes left, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get back to the Longevity Hotel before the time of the child. But I didn't have a good choice but to keep going.

But the more you are afraid, the more you come! All the ghosts I had just hit hugged me, with an angry expression, obviously ill-intentioned!

The situation is stronger than people, and we can't be stronger anymore at this time. I had to bow to them and say, "I'm sorry guys! I was chasing the thief just now, and I didn't mean to! I apologize to everyone! ”

"Is it all there is to apologize?" A large ghost came out of the group of ghosts. I don't remember if I bumped into it, but judging from the resentment on it, it should be a ghost cultivator, and it's definitely not easy to mess with!

"And what are you going to do?" I turned to the alley on the other side, ready to leave from there. The streets and alleys in the left market are all connected, at most a few more detours!

"Hey, hey!" The ghost cultivator continued to follow me, jokingly, "I'll give you a little more time to think about it, and I'll reveal the mystery when the time comes!" ”

I didn't have time to ponder the meaning of its words, so I turned and ran.

The ghosts didn't let me go, and they screamed and followed closely behind me. I was in a hurry, turning left and right in the narrow alleys, trying to get away from them. But those ghosts are not slow, they have always followed me at a distance of about ten meters, and the misfortune is that I am actually lost!

I have walked through these streets two or three times before, and I still have some vague impression that they should be between the third or fourth streets. But now that all the shops are closed, it's completely different from what I usually see, so it's impossible to determine the exact location and the right direction.

"Look up!" The ghost cultivator laughed again, and reminded me maliciously behind me, "The time is almost here!" ”

I couldn't help but look up, and sure enough, the ghost fire on the giant clock on the top of the cave was infinitely close to the scale of sub-hour, and it could ring the bell at any time. Damn it!

But I was not willing to give up, and I didn't care whether the direction ahead was right or wrong, and I just ran forward with my head down. As I ran, I suddenly realized that the group of ghosts behind me had not followed closely, but had slowed down the pace of pursuit. Will they let me go?

I breathed a sigh of relief, but I didn't slow down, and I turned another alley. The alley was quite long, still crooked, and at the end of the run was another stone pillar. But when I was about to reach the stone pillar, I was stunned by the scene in front of me, because there was another group of ghosts coming out from behind the stone pillar!

What's going on?

When did they ambush here? Could it be that the ghost soldiers just now split into two ways?

No!

The ghosts are still the same group of ghosts just now! This pillar is the same one just now!

I was forced to stop, gasping for breath and looking back. The ghost corrected and walked slowly down the alley behind me with a few big ghosts, with a sinister smile on his face. It turned out that this was a three-way intersection, and what I just ran through was a hollow alley!

"Dang!"

The bell has finally struck!

There are demons in front and back, and I don't have any means of self-defense except for a few talismans, what should I do?

"Hey, hey, hey!" The ghost cultivator who took the lead pulled out a sharp knife, grinned wide, and deliberately used the knife to rub the sharp teeth in its mouth like a saw, making a piercing and terrifying noise. Sharp knives and sharp teeth, both of which are enough to pose a deadly threat to me!

"It's been a long time since you've eaten anyone, Boss?" A little ghost behind the ghost Xiu sneered.

"That's right! Boss, let's have a meat meal tonight! The other ghost also looked hungry, and its long tongue reached out and licked its entire face.

"Hey, hey! The head is mine, you can do whatever you want elsewhere! "The ghost cultivator who took the lead pointed to my head and explained to his little brother. At this time, in his eyes, I was just a meat dish on the table, and he could eat it wherever he wanted!

I pulled out the few talismans I had, ready to fight to the death, but I almost despaired. There are so many ghosts, such a powerful ghost cultivator, I can't deal with it!

I don't even have a chance to kill myself! Looks like I'm destined to be a feast for these ghosts!

Hehe! I've been selling supper to ghosts for so many years, and I didn't think of doing everything possible to enter this yin city, but in the end, I gave it to the ghost as a supper!

"Let's go!"

The ghosts screamed, and then they all gathered around me, and when I looked around, all I saw were white fangs!

"Stand back!"

A cold woman's voice suddenly sounded, and it came from above my head.

The ghosts were stunned for a moment, and then looked up with me in unison, and a huge spider was crawling down from the thick stone pillar, and on the spider's back was a heavily armed city guard!

"Didn't you hear me? Give me back now! ”

The guard shouted again. With a halberd in her right hand and a reins in her left, she drove the spider to the bottom of the pillar. The ghosts there were forced by her momentum to disperse and make way for an aisle. I've heard Cao Zhe say that the city guards who ride spiders are all squad leaders, and the team members can only ride worms. And most of the city guard squad captains are female Yin cultivators of the Shengyang Gang, and this one with a red scarf around his neck seems to be one of them.

"The time has come!" The ghost cultivator behind me didn't want to listen to her, and yelled.

"Humph!" The female city guard sneered, "The time is only when the curfew starts, not the time when you can eat people!" In this city of Zuoqiu, people have never been something you ghosts can eat! ”

"What if I have to eat it?" The ghost cultivator threatened viciously.

The female city guard sneered again, unmoved, "Then you can try it!" ”

The giant spider she was riding had already crawled to the street, its eight long chelicerae were more than a foot long, and the chelicerae on its head were open like giant pincers, revealing the mouthparts inside, aimed at the ghost cultivator.

"It has poisonous glands in its mouth, and once you ghosts are sprayed, they will be corroded and dissolved immediately. It also has a spinner at the end of its belly, and I can squirt out a large web with just a slight pinch of its belly, and once you get stuck in the web, you can't run if you want to! ”

The female city guard didn't need to yell and scream, but it was such a fluttering few words that made the ghosts take two steps back, obviously very jealous of the big spider.

The ghost cultivator gritted his teeth, and the expression on his face was very unwilling. But he still didn't dare to act rashly, after all, the other side was no longer just a stupid boy like me, but a serious city guard captain!

"What are you doing stupidly? Walk! ”

The female city guard said this to me. I suddenly came to my senses, and hurriedly ran behind the stone pillar with the body of the big spider. The female city guard also rode back slowly on the spider and escorted me away. The ghosts were completely stunned by her and her big spider, and they really didn't catch up with her.

I ran out of the street in one breath before I stopped, turned my head and said to the female city guard, "Thank you, may I ask ......?"

"What are you stopping for?" Her expression was very impatient, and she reprimanded, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, there is a lot of nonsense! It's not safe at this time, hurry up! Do you really think I can deal with so many ghosts alone? ”

I was robbed of my white by her, and I felt quite embarrassed. But I scratched my head anyway, and continued to ask her embarrassedly: "Actually, what I want to ask is, how to get to Seventh Street......

Alas, even if I survived, I still couldn't find my way back!

The female city guard squad leader looked at me coldly and didn't speak. Although she was always wearing a helmet and mask, I couldn't see the expression on her face, but I guess she wouldn't have any good looks for me at this time, and she must be full of disdain and contempt.

"Where do you live on Seventh Street?" She finally asked.

"Longevity Hotel ......"

"Hmph, it's a cook!"

The female city guard sneered coldly, with an extremely contemptuous tone, which made me suddenly feel inferior.

"The cook should be in the kitchen! Didn't anyone tell you that if you were running around the streets at this point, you would be eaten by ghosts? ”

I'm speechless.

In fact, she scolded correctly, I really can't blame others for this distress, I can only blame myself for being too careless. Besides, he is my life-saving benefactor, and it is also appropriate to be taught a few words by her......

"Turn around, to the right!" She raised her spear and pointed to an alleyway behind me.

When I was released, I thanked me again and ran down the alley as she instructed. Along the way, the female city guard showed me the path from time to time, and I quickly found a sense of direction.

The lower city, which has entered the curfew, is indeed completely different from the "daytime". On the way back to the Longevity Hotel, there were always a lot of ghosts wandering along the way, and even when we passed Sixth Street, we encountered two gangs of imps fighting. However, with the female city guard escorting behind me, no ghost dared to come up and harass me.

I made it to Seventh Street and finally returned to the front of the Longevity Hotel.

"Knock knock!"

I slammed the door panel of the Longevity Hotel and shouted, "Open the door!" Open the door! ”

After shouting several times, someone inside finally responded: "Who's outside?" ”

"I'm Zhai Zisheng! Let me in! ”

"Xiao Zhai?"

I could hear it as Wei Dahu's voice. Soon, a door panel of the Longevity Hotel was removed, and he looked out with his probe, and when he saw that it was indeed me, he asked in surprise: "Why are you still wandering around outside at this time, aren't you afraid of death?" ”

"Well, don't ask! It was the city guard who sent me back! ”

"City guards?" Wei Dahu looked around behind me and wondered, "Where is it?" ”

I turned around and looked, and sure enough, the street behind me was empty. Don't say it's a human, not even a ghost!

I looked up and finally saw a huge spider climbing up a stone pillar not far away. The one riding on the spider's back should be the female city guard who saved my life.

Because, in the dim light of the Yin City, only the red silk scarf around her neck stood out.
