After groping in the dark for a long time, bumping and bumping, Ruoli only touched the wooden door that Meng Po said, the door was not tethered, and it opened with a slight push. With the sound of squeaking, a cold wind came from the surface, and Ruoli, who was not mentally prepared, shivered vigorously.

She tightened the yellow lantern in her hand, and heard it from Meng Po's instructions, now this lantern is her talisman, and her divine body safety depends on it, and she can't miss it at all.

Stepping out of the wooden gate, according to the cold moonlight, Ruoli saw the city gate a few steps away, and when she saw the three big characters written on the city gate, her eyes full of aura flashed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked.

Is this the City of No Joy?

But the outside of the city is desolate, the dead trees and wild grasses are overgrown, the city walls are mottled and broken, there is no one to guard the city, there is no one to patrol the city, and even the light of the candle has not been seen, as if there is no one, why didn't Meng Po say that this is an empty city?

Whatever, as long as he can get the Forget Worry Stone to repay his mother-in-law's kindness.

Thinking of this, Ruoli took a step and stepped into the city gate, the calm air was like the surface of the water, rippling with bursts, and the figure disappeared in a blink of an eye.

If she hadn't looked back at the ruined city gates, she would have felt that she had gone somewhere else.

The brightly lit streets are lined with colorful lanterns, and the roads are lined with stalls of all kinds, with vendors shouting and declaring their stuff to be the best, and a crowd of onlookers who look like a circus. Men and women, smiling on the street, children in groups of three or five playing, chasing, the store is very lively, no absent, full of people.

I don't know who named this city Wuhuan City, it's really misleading everyone, it's obviously very cheerful.

Although I have seen the description of the temple fair in the play, I have not really experienced it.

"Childe, look at this mask of mine, how delicate and beautiful it is!" A vendor next to him stopped Ruoli, holding a mask in his hand, and looked at her with a flattering expression,

She took a closer look, and sure enough, it was lifelike, very exquisite, and after a long selection, she fell in love with a cyan yaksha mask, which looked hideous and terrifying, but it was very happy.

After giving him a few copper plates, if she walked away from the mask she had brought with her, the copper plates were just made by her with a dead branch, and probably would not have been discovered.

Meng Po said that she saw an old locust tree, and a few miles to the west, she could see a house with red lanterns, and there was the Forget Worry Stone that she wanted to take.

But after wandering around for so long, not only did I not see the old locust tree, but I didn't even see the shadows of other trees, so it's not a way to wander around like this, so let's ask.

"Do you know where the old locust tree is in Wuhuan City?" Ruoli asked the old man who was selling flower umbrellas to the side, in her opinion, when it comes to asking for directions, it is always more reliable to ask the old man.

The old man didn't pay attention to her, and took care of his umbrella, as if he hadn't heard of it.

Ruoli pouted, picked up an umbrella casually, and after paying a few copper plates, the old man immediately changed his indifference just now, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, little boy, I've just been busy, you asked the old locust tree? Then you are asking the right person, have you seen the noodle shop in front? Eh, by the way, turn left, walk a mile, and you can see it." ”

After he finished speaking, if he left without looking back, there are really more and more people in this world.

Turning around the noodle shop, after walking for a while, I finally found the old locust tree, if I was happy, the house of the red lantern should not be far away, and I hurriedly hurried up.

At this time, the leaves of the old locust tree squirmed, and a black cat suddenly jumped down from the tree, with a pair of blue eyes shining in the moonlight, and coincidentally knocked over the lantern in her hand.

"Go, go!" Ruoli waved her hands and stretched out her feet to drive away the black cat, it was really unlucky, it was her talisman.

The moment I picked up the lantern, a gust of wind blew suddenly, and the flickering candlelight went out.

No way?

Ruoli looked helplessly at the lantern that had no light in his hand, and threw it away. Anyway, the candle has been extinguished, and it is also a hindrance to hold it, and the mother-in-law said that this candle flame can only be lit with a specific flint, and now it is okay, where to tell her to order?

Fortunately, not long after walking, I saw a room with red lanterns hanging a few steps away, when Ruoli entered the house, it really startled the female shopkeeper, Ruoli turned his head depressedly, looked at the mirror on the wall, reflecting the light of the red lantern, and was also startled by himself.

Ruoli hurriedly took off his mask and smiled embarrassedly, "Hehe, I'm here to take the Forget Worry Stone for Granny Meng." ”

The female shopkeeper settled down, nodded knowingly, and then turned around and went into the back room.

After putting down the basket, Ruoli walked around, judging from the furnishings, this should be a grocery store, and there are a lot of strange things, all of which Ruoli has never seen.

When she was about to pick up a spherical thing to look at, the female shopkeeper walked out of the back room with a gloomy face, completely deprived of the beautiful face she had just had. If you can't understand it, why is her face so different after a while, isn't it because she is frightened.

He glanced at Ruoli with a cold look in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Forget the Worry Stone." ”

After getting the Forget Worry Stone, Ruoli secretly glanced at the female shopkeeper, and saw that she was still looking at her with cold eyes, and a chill rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

Quickly put the stone into the basket, Ruoli opened the curtain and walked out, looked up at the moonlight, and saw that the moon had risen, and the gusts of wind were a little chilly.

I walked under the old locust tree, glanced at the lantern that had lost its light, sighed, and hurried back to the original road. When he turned around the noodle restaurant, Ruoli was stunned.

The cold wind blew through, and in the moonlight, she could vaguely see the dilapidated houses, the grassy roads, and the dead branches of the dead trees with whose clothes they were, swaying in the wind, and the people who had been on the street just now were gone, and the whole city was lifeless.

This echoes the gates outside the city.

However, she returned exactly the way she came, why did this happen?

Thinking of this, Ruoli immediately turned around and walked in the direction of the old locust tree, the scene along the way was completely different from when he passed by, but there was an inexplicable familiar feeling.

When Ruoli returned to the old locust tree and saw the dark lantern, she was sure that she had not gone to the wrong place, and the familiarity she had just now made her feel creepy.

Wuhuan City turned out to be a ghost town!
