Chapter 940: Ghost Town
-------
But at this moment, Jiang Futing didn't know that someone had come to him for revenge, they were in trouble, they were originally walking well, who knew that as soon as they were not careful, they triggered a circular formation, and with a flash of golden light, the three of them were trapped in the formation.
I saw that the golden light in the formation was shining, and countless complicated patterns kept rotating, making people dizzy, Cheng Da and Cheng Ming soon couldn't stand on their feet, and they sacrificed charms to hold the balance.
"What kind of formation is this?"
"The five elements are systematic, the eight doors depend on each other, this is a five-element mixed element trapped array, you see it has eight gates, Jimen and Shengmen~" Jiang Futing said.
The father and son of the Cheng family glanced at each other, and it quickly became clear, but they had never heard of such a formation, how to crack it?
"You use the Suppression Charm to resist the attack of the formation, and I will come to find the door!"
"Good!" The father and son of the Cheng family nodded in response, drew talismans in the air, and shouted, "Go!" ”
I saw that the streamer sword shot in front of the two of them, and they all stopped, as if they were blocked by an invisible barrier.
The golden light in Jiang Futing's hand was vibrating, like a strong wind and waves, and he saw a golden light overflowing from his fingers, slashing straight towards a door.
The three people in the formation suddenly saw a flower in front of them, and they were sucked in by a powerful force.
"Ah~" Cheng Da and Cheng Ming were stunned, Jiang Futing raised his sleeves to block the fine sand blowing in front of him, and raised his eyes to look around.
I saw that under the boundless and dim sky, the rolling yellow sand spread everywhere, not far away stood an ancient city, the city gate was carved above the two words: Licheng, the heavy city gate was tightly closed.
In the distance, on a dead tree, a flock of black crows chirped, and the wind blew, and the fine sand on the ground rolled little by little like a heat wave.
"Ahem~" Cheng Da choked on a mouthful of sand, woke up from his stupor, shrunk his neck, and the cool breeze blowing was cold.
The eyes are desolate and dark.
He got up, looked into the distance, staggered a few steps unsteadily, and was helped by his son who woke up at some point, and then Cheng Ming let go of his hand.
Cheng Da was happy that his son cared about him, but he didn't be happy for long, and he was stunned by the sound of crows, so he smoked cold air, looked around, and asked Jiang Futing: "What kind of place is this?" ”
Jiang Futing shook his head, "I don't know~"
The three of them looked around, and within a thousand miles, except for this lonely city not far away, they had never seen any other towns.
"You... What do you see is that? Cheng Ming opened his mouth, his voice surprised.
Jiang Futing looked at the sound, only to see that in the distance, the sky was like dark clouds turning over the sea and waves, and thousands of horses were galloping.
The icy wind mixed with sand rolled up from the ground, spinning and becoming thicker and thicker, like a towering tree, obscuring the sky and the sun.
"It's not good, it's the dragon absorbing water, let's go quickly~" Cheng shouted, pulling his son and running away.
The three of them flashed and arrived at the foot of the city, looking at the tall city gate, the vicissitudes of the city, and the cyan bricks and stones on it, which had already become gray and lost its former glory.
The wind and sand blew, revealing the white bones on the ground, this is an ancient city that has been dead and silent for many years.
Seeing that the city gate looked majestic and tall, the three of them stood under the city gate, and seeing the storm getting closer and closer, the three of them did not hesitate to open the city gate and enter.
Unexpectedly, the city gate was only gently pushed, and then it opened, and the three of them glanced at each other and cautiously leaned into the city gate.
When the three of them entered, the gate creaked and closed again.
The quaint city was displayed in front of the three of them, and the brick and stone paved streets crisscrossed each other, and the blue-red bricks and stones had become gray after years of washing and washing.
There are many shops on both sides, and there is a dilapidated flag fluttering in the air, with a big wine word written on it, chic and handsome, and the handwriting on the door plaque of the inn has not yet been returned, and the book reads: Yuelai Inn.
In the wide open inn, the square table is neatly placed, the chopsticks on it are neatly inserted, and there are uncollected plates, the plates are pitch black, it seems to be some dishes, it seems that this inn was once very lively, and you can see people who eat or drink tea or stay in the hotel everywhere~
The three of them walked from the street to the end, no matter where they swept, they could see the traces of their life here, and at the door of the family, there was even a wooden cart pushing children, as if the owner of the family wanted to take his children out to play.
Jiang Futing's gaze swept over, and a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes.
"This is wrong~" Cheng Ming shook his head in confusion.
Cheng Da gave Cheng Ming a trembling look and motioned him not to say it, but the stupid kid in front of him continued to express the doubts in his heart as if he didn't see it.
"You see, the traces of life here are in order, indicating that they used to live happily, and something must have happened suddenly? will make this place an empty city~" Cheng Ming said, frowned and thought about it, and muttered: "Huh? Something is wrong, if it is an accident, how can there not be a single corpse in the city? ”
"We've walked a street, do you see anything?"
Chen Da and Jiang Futing shook their heads, not to mention ghosts, even those ghosts that breed resentment have not seen a single one.
"What's going on?" Cheng Ming whispered in confusion.
At this time, a few whimperes sounded in the wind in the city, as if the cries of many people were mixed together~
Jiang Futing frowned, looked at the sky that was gradually darkening, and did not answer Cheng Ming's words, but said: "Seeing that the sky is already dark, let's find a place to stay~"
"Okay, good~" Cheng Da nodded hurriedly, as if he was extremely reluctant to listen to his son say these things.
Soon, the three of them found a dilapidated mansion in the city, but I don't know what happened back then, the mansion was half burned by the fire, but there was still a side house that could barely settle down.
The three of them were not hypocritical, so they fell to their feet.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the whimpering outside was getting more and more terrifying, and Jiang Futing came in with a lamp from outside and put it on the lampstand.
The lights in the house are dim, and they can only illuminate a small area.
Jiang Futing looked at Cheng Ming, who kept dozing, and said with a smile: "If you are sleepy, just lie down for a while, I will guard it~"
Cheng Ming didn't know what was wrong with him, he was wet and cold and had no strength, he didn't even seem to have the strength to open his eyelids, he didn't force it anymore, nodded and said, "Okay~"
He closed his eyes and fell asleep in a daze.
The whimpering outside was louder, and the tune was faint and resentful, Jiang Futing listened to the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, and closed his eyes peacefully.
Not long after, gongs and drums sounded outside, and the fights seemed to be very lively.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed on the window, and it quickly disappeared.
Jiang Futing, who was in the dark, opened his eyes, got up and quietly glanced at the sleeping Cheng family father and son, he drew a talisman and left it at the head of their bed, so as not to be assassinated by something, after doing this, Jiang Futing carefully opened the door and walked out.
In the dark, his figure was very fast, a few flashes disappeared into the darkness, just a few breaths, and after he chased the black shadow for a quarter of an hour, he noticed that something was wrong, and immediately returned to the yard, but found that Cheng Da, who was crazy in a hurry, jumped out of the house, and saw Jiang Futing and asked anxiously: "Have you seen Ah Ming?" ”
Jiang Futing frowned, and returned to the room with a long history, seeing that the rune paper pasted in front of the bed was intact.
His heart chuckled, and he looked at Shang Chengda's inquiring gaze and said slowly: "He left by himself~"
Cheng Da, who calmed down, also saw the rune paper attached to the bedside, and his face became ugly.
Jiang Futing patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, let's go look for it~"
The two walked out of the mansion along the barren grass road, and were really stunned when they saw the scene outside, Jiang Futing hurriedly pasted two pieces of rune paper on them when they saw this.
He finally understood why this city was empty and empty in the daytime, but there were so many "people" at night~
Hehe, this is a veritable ghost town.
I saw that the lights on the street were red and willow green, every house was lit up with lights, all kinds of hawkers were shouting in their mouths, beckoning customers and stopping people, and people came and went in the street market, so it was not lively.
Looking at the dense crowd of people in the market, Cheng Da already felt that his scalp was numb.
So ...... all this? Cheng Da took a sip and felt a ghostly aura all over his body.
Jiang Futing lowered his voice, put his hand to his mouth, and said silently: "Don't speak~" This rune paper can only hide the breath of people, but there is no way to hide people's voices.
Soon, the two also joined their team, Cheng Da just started, the whole body was tense, not daring to move, seeing Jiang Futing's natural expression, walking slowly, as if there was no obstacle, and immediately relieved.
The two of them mingled in the group of ghosts, and saw many people going in one direction, although they wanted to ask strangely, they saw Jiang Futing raise his chin and motioned for him to follow.
They walked past the Yuelai Inn they saw when they entered the city, and saw Xiao Er inside, with a white cloth towel on his shoulder, busy and sweating, he picked up the white cloth towel and wiped it, smiled and shouted, "It's coming~"
The guests in the store laughed and teased, "Hurry up, uncle, I'm starving to death~"
"Okay, sir, wait a minute~"
The flesh of Cheng Da's chin shook slightly, smelling the aroma of meat, and he was hungry, but he still remembered that those things were not what they should eat.
At this moment, the dancing women were joined by the joyous procession, the streamers fluttering, and the posture was graceful; There are also those holding big-headed doll masks, dressed in colorful clothes, rejoicing, dancing extraordinarily festively, which is very different from the strange and quiet city in the daytime.
He saw the child at the door sitting in the wooden cart this lively little boy, with a little tugging, looking very lively and cute.
Perhaps it was because everyone had a happy smile on their faces, so Cheng Da gradually relaxed, infected by such an atmosphere, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Knock, knock~" A rhythmic drum beat was heard not far away.
"The princess and the colt have come to the streets!" I don't know who shouted.
I saw that the street was densely packed with "people," and when they heard this, they all got out of the way, and retreated to kneel down on both sides to meet the princess and the horse.
"Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose ~"
"Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose ~"
Sixteen horsemen and golden gong guards opened the way, and the chariot of the bright yellow curtain tent was pulled by eight royal red horses, followed by countless guards and palace maids, magnificent and majestic.
Cheng Da quietly raised his head, but when the curtain was blown by the wind, he saw a familiar figure, his eyes were slightly wide, it was his son Amin!
When did Armin become a colt?!
"Amin!" Cheng Da suddenly rushed towards his son desperately.
At this moment, a sudden rebuke came, "Who is so bold? Dare to block the princess's chariot, come quickly, catch him for me! ”
