Volume 1: Opening Chapter 33: The Origin of the Puppet City
Ling Qianyang said: "I walked through a few ancient shrines to explore the origin of this puppet city, this ancient city was built in the early Tang Dynasty, when the city was on the road, and at that time the puppet city was a place of ointment by the mountains and rivers, the puppet city has produced a lot of champion Jinshi, there are at least five Jinshi and Zhuangyuan Temple in the city, the statement records that one year, there was a land disaster here, the whole puppet city fell into a thousand feet deep underground, this blessed land became a dead land, deep underground, surrounded by cliffs, There was no way to climb out to ask for help, and there was no sunlight, and then the people here began to be infected with plague and plague, and the people of the city tried to dig a way out, but only half of the way was dug out, and they all died in this city. ”
The teenagers in the courtyard gathered in a heap, attracted by the conversation here, and someone whispered, "He seems to be the very powerful and cold brother of the Ling family." ”
"Really?" Another teenager said.
"Yes, it's him."
Gong Yuheng suddenly said: "It turns out that this place is called a puppet city, I thought it was a ghost town." ”
Luo Jiuli noticed them and said with a cold face: "What about you, do your family know that you have nothing to do and run to such a dangerous place?" ”
Teenagers, you look at me, I look at you, they all want each other to talk.
In the end, it was pushed to Du Haoyu.
Du Haoyu glanced at them before saying: "We just wanted to come and see and leave, who knew that the subway sent us here, and we were scared into this city by an octaclawed monster, and after meeting those demon corpses, we met you, sister..."
Be concise and to the point.
The young man in Tsing Yi, who was sitting on the side and didn't agree with Du Haoyu, said: "Besides, I finally escaped into this ghost town, and I didn't encounter any demon corpses along the way. ”
He held the Peacock Feather Fan in his hand, which is the symbol of the Zhuge family.
Luo Jiuli has previously made up the characteristics of some of the more famous families in Lingchuan City.
This young man should be Zhuge Yiming, the youngest son in the Zhuge family, and there is an elder brother Zhuge Yiyun who is as famous as Ling Qianyang.
When Du Haoyu heard him say this, he was unhappy and said: "What did I bring here, I only came with one of them, and it was you who attracted all those demon corpses with your roar." ”
Zhuge Yiming replied: "Blame me, blame you for having nothing to do with that demon corpse!" It's not like you woke it up. ”
The two teenagers scolded each other with a word, and no one let them, and the rest seemed to be strange, and they persuaded each other to fight, and then simply let them quarrel.
Aya guarded the door, looking up at the old street and the sky outside the courtyard gate through the crack in the door, it was still a white mist, and a large wave of demon corpses in the distance was approaching this side, and the squeaky sound of the demonic bones was getting closer and closer.
"Again! These monsters are endless, aren't they? Gong Yuheng exclaimed, and the teenagers grabbed the weapons in their hands and tensed their nerves to guard the door.
The courtyard was very quiet, Aya stood by the door and looked out, only to see a group of demon corpses standing at the door, as if they didn't notice them, so they turned to other places.
Aya nodded to Luo Jiuli, signaled that there was nothing to do, and walked over and said: "This courtyard should be equipped with an enchantment barrier or something like a magic circle, isolating the layer of fog outside, just now I went up to the roof to take a look, and found that the scale of this courtyard is not small, and if such a large courtyard wants to set up this kind of enchantment, it will take a lot of spiritual power." ”
Luo Jiuli pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "You guys have a good rest first, recover your strength, no matter how safe you are here, you can't stay for too long." ”
Xuyang Jun said: "The deity has just explored the depth that this enchantment can cover, this enchantment is not something that ordinary people can do, there is at least one monk close to the strength of a demigod in this place, according to the current point of view, this person is not friend or foe, with your current cultivation, and if you can avoid it, you can avoid it." ”
Luo Jiuli heard the rumors and responded that even if she really encountered it, she had many magic weapons on her body, and it was still possible to save her life.
Du Haoyu lowered his head and thought for a while: "The subway we took arrived at this place, and the place where the subway passed was the escape road they dug up, is the road they dug the same as the subway railway we usually take?" During the day, we take the subway in the same way, and no one has ever said that we have ever sat in this place! ”
Zhuge Yiming rolled his eyes at him and said: "Stupid, if this ghost town is at the entrance of the subway, it was reported to the state to block it when it was under construction, and it can still be left until now!" ”
Another young man in dark blue clothes rubbed the goosebumps on his arm and said, "I wonder if it could be because there are too many dead people in this city, and then there are too many ghosts trapped here, causing the local magnetic field to change, I have been feeling very cold and terrifying since I came in, but it is very strange that my talisman can't detect a ghost." ”
Hearing this, Luo Jiuli raised her eyebrows and looked at him, yes, why didn't she find out about this all along.
There were so many people dead here, but she didn't even see a ghost, the demon corpses in the city were just ordinary refining walking corpses, and according to the costumes, they were all locals who died here.
If it is said that it was taken away by the underworld, it is even more impossible, not to mention that the soul has to return to the underworld in seven days, even if the people who die one by one stay here for seven days, there will be a decrease in the number, and it will definitely not cause chaos in the local magnetic field, unless tens of thousands of ghosts gather together and stay for a long, long time.
Luo Jiuli looked at the young man approvingly and said, "What's your name?" ”
The young man was stunned, and when he saw that he was asking him if he was right, he immediately said, "My name is Yu Yuchen, and I am a spiritual cultivator." ”
Luo Jiuli said: "The enchantment is open, it's very good." ”
Yu Yuchen didn't expect to be praised, and was a little embarrassed.
Luo Jiuli calmly continued: "What Yu Chen said just now is very right, everyone in this ancient city is dead, but the souls of the dead have not been classified into the underworld, and have been piled up in the sky above this ancient city, so the magnetic field anomaly of this place was formed, and later a person who has something to do with the demon world, or a person from the demon world, discovered this place, he used the formation to hide this place, and collected all the ghosts in the city to refine it into a ghost pill, and then used the last train of the subway to lure people into the train with illusion, and teleported through the location, Sent to this place, the real role of the octopus monsters outside the city is not to defend the city, but to drive people into the city, the walking corpses in the city are all locals here, and the people behind the scenes manipulate them to drive the people who come in in this direction, just to refine us all into demon corpses.
In addition, why are there some people in the city who are wrapped in black robes to attack people, those people look the same as the locals who are dressed, but the black robes below are the clothes of modern people, those people are because of urban rumors, and you are the same as you are coming to hunt and explore, it is estimated that nine times out of ten they touched the walking corpses outside and contracted the same plague, and their skin will festered when they encounter a little wind, so they found the black robes in the city and wrapped them, and then these people died and their souls were trapped in the body and refined into demon corpses, because they had a strong obsession to go back, So it will be taken to the subway station entrance with the subway, so there will be news that someone at the subway entrance has been attacked by a black-robed person in the near future. ”
"So that's the case, then according to what you say, sister, now we are not very dangerous." Gong Yuheng swallowed his saliva and pointed to the front hall in the courtyard and said, "We seem to be at the mouth of the beast now!" ”
Aya suddenly got up, raised the long sword in her hand, and looked at the back room vigilantly, everyone tensed their nerves, and even the frost moon automatically transformed into a sword to guard against a surprise attack.
The smell of blood grew stronger in the air, and everyone was like a great enemy.
The alley behind the inner room sounded a beast-like roar, and a man in white with the Ling family crest tattoo on his chest stumbled at the door, seeing that there were so many people in the courtyard, tears instantly burst out, and there was a glimmer of life in his eyes, and he rolled down the stairs with only five or six steps.
Behind him, five or six people dressed the same as him pounced on him with great speed, but all of them were demon corpses, their skin was gray and chapped, and their eyes were blood-red without pupils.
However, these demon corpses are much more difficult than those outside, their bodies are soft, they are fast, and because they are monks, their strength is much greater than that of ordinary people.
Yu Yuchen held the sword in both hands and hesitated: "We are all from the Ling family, we.... To kill or not to kill? ”
"It's all dead, don't kill and keep harming people!" Zhuge Yiming said urgently.
Everyone looked at Ling Qianyang in unison, seeing that he had no opinion, they did not hesitate to join the fight, there was no fire to burn them, only to unload their hands and feet.
The two sides fought for nearly ten minutes, and some of these demon corpses had their hands and feet cut off, and some of them directly slashed their swords and heads in different places.
Zhuge Yiming raised his hands exaggeratedly, and the tip of his nose was drenched with thin beads of sweat, and his voice trembled slightly: "Mom, I actually killed someone and divided the body!" ”
Du Haoyu stretched out his hand and gave him a blow of fried chestnuts and said: "What nonsense, are we still human beings to kill this!" ”
Luo Jiuli shook his head helplessly, let them make trouble.
Only one member of the Ling family came back alive, but his arm was scratched, and the blood on his arm stained his white clothes red, Luo Jiuli took out a healing pill and handed it to Ling Qianyang.
After taking the healing pill given by Ling Qianyang and taking it, that person recovered a little.
Ling Qianyang said in a light tone: "What's your name, what's going on inside." ”
The Ling family slowed down, looked at the front with empty eyes, and recalled the things one by one.
This person's name is Ling Yuanliang, he is a member of the Ling family's family, and his previous experience is the same as theirs, and he was driven to this place.
At that time, after they used the communication instrument to transmit the message to their own family, they heard the sound of the guqin, which seemed to confuse people, and they were attracted into this courtyard, and it was too late to react.
