"Come on, I can't stay here!"

Lin Xiao jumped into the carriage and beckoned to Xing Ruyi and Yu An.

The two of them had their own agendas, but they both hesitated about each other. Xing Ruyi has a ghost card, and he is naturally not afraid of the lonely ghosts in this vain city. Yu An didn't know whether he should believe this male ghost named Lin Xiao.

The old man often said that there are many nonsense stories, and what this dead ghost said is the most unbelievable.

"Oops, it's late, I can't go!" was hesitating, and suddenly heard Lin Xiao shouting again. "Hide in this carriage for now, hopefully it'll be okay."

Lin Xiao said, pushing both Xing Ruyi and Yu An'an into the carriage. When he lowered the curtain, he looked at Yu An and said, "It's strange, you should be a person whose longevity is not over, how did you come to this city of vain death." ”

"How do you know she's not going to live her life?"

"Can the breath of a living person be the same as that of a dead ghost?" Lin Xiao didn't answer, but looked at Xing Ruyi's face: "You guys are together, right?" She has not yet reached the end of her life, and she should not stay here for long. As for you, I guess you won't be able to leave. As for how I saw it, I can't say that. Anyway, when you take it here for a while, you can just like me, and you can know which one is new and which one is the last in this city at a glance. Which one is dead, and which one is the one whose life is not over. Also, which imps can be offended and which can't. ”

People have spirits, ghosts have ghosts, Lin Xiao said this, Xing Ruyi believed it, but Lin Xiao said the wrong thing. She can leave the city of the dead. Even if she can't leave herself, the fox will break in and take her away.

"Shhhh

"Who?"

"Married."

As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, he heard the sound of gongs and drums not far away. Being in the underworld, the yin qi around Xing Ruyi's body has increased a lot, and even the ghost art that had been suppressed before has been reawakened, and he is eager to try. She closed her eyes, opened them, and saw a team of kisses greeting her through the wall of the car.

At the forefront was a white horse, which was also made of paper. The horse ornament is very gorgeous, indicating that this person had some identity before his death. His gaze moved up and fell on the groom's officer. The bridegroom is short and round, and his big head and body are in a very incongruous position. He was wearing the kind of shroud that only the dead would wear, with a black official hat and a big red flower on his chest.

They were followed by two teams of servants, a man on the left and a woman on the right, all of whom were paper figures. They laughed, but their smiles were stiff, as if they had been torn apart by their hands.

Further back, there is a black and red sedan chair.

Because the sedan curtain was hanging, it was not clear who was sitting inside, only that the four people who carried the sedan chair were not paper people, but ghosts. Those little ghosts, with stiff limbs, seemed to have been tied. Judging from experience, these palanquin bearers were bullied and whipped before their deaths.

"Who's that man?"

Xing Ruyi always felt that the groom was a little familiar, but because of his strange figure and appearance, he couldn't remember it for a while.

"The surname is Wu, it seems to be called Wu Sansi."

"Wu Sansi!"

Xing Ruyi and Yu An called out that name at about the same time.

Lin Xiao was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand: "Grandma, are you afraid that he won't know that you are hiding here?" I can tell you that this surname Wu is one of the most offending people in the city of vain death. ”

"Why?" Yu An asked in a low voice.

"Why? Because this underground is the same as the aboveground, it is the rich who are the masters. Lin Xiao said, snorting softly. Let's take this official as an example, there is money to buy officials here, and there are also below. It's just that it's not as dark and powerful as the one above. But then again, the officials below don't have as much power as the above. Let's take the city we are staying in now, there are also those who can't see the light, and there are people who are not here who are stunned to get here, but the biggest official here is the city lord, and the others are all small minions. Ordinary little ghosts, as long as they avoid provoking a rich master like Wu Sansi, they can generally live well. Otherwise, none of the little ghosts in this city are willing to be reincarnated and become human again. Because it's much easier to stay here and be a ghost than to be a person. ”

What Lin Xiao was saying, Xing Ruyi didn't pay attention to listen, what she was thinking about was how Wu Sansi became so ugly after his death.

As early as when Li Chongjun was still the crown prince, this Wu Sansi used the identity of the Wu family to mess around in the emperor's harem, deceived Li Xian, and hooked up with Shangguan Wan'er. The reason why he has no fear is because he relies on Empress Wu, and the reason why Empress Wu favors him is because every time there is an edict, this Wu Sansi must be the first to jump out and express his approval.

Because this Wu Sansi acted arrogantly and did not take the Li family seriously, the crown prince Li Chongjun secretly contacted some officials who were dissatisfied with Wu Sansi and the Wu family, and while impeaching him in the court, he faked a holy decree to let the Imperial Forest Army rush into Wu Sansi's mansion and kill him and his son.

Later, Li Xian abdicated, and Li Dan became emperor.

This Li Dan hated Wu Sansi even more, and directly ordered people to dig up Wu Sansi's coffin, drag his bones out and be whipped in the sun, and finally let people step on Wu Sansi's grave, so that he had no incense to enjoy.

Right now, looking at Wu Sansi's ghostly appearance, I know that when he dies, he must be unhappy.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw the welcoming procession coming towards the carriage. Yu An was nervous, and subconsciously approached Lin Xiao, and Lin Xiao himself was also nervous, and he didn't even dare to take a breath of ghostly energy.

Maybe this is the gate of the city, for the carriage parked here, the welcoming team did not look at much, but directly carried the sedan chair and walked over to the carriage. Just when the carriage and the sedan chair were at odds, Xing Ruyi saw the woman sitting in the sedan chair - a woman of mixed Hu and Han descent who was outstanding, beautiful, and foreign.

The woman also seemed to notice Xing Ruyi's gaze, and she looked eagerly towards the carriage. Those eyes made Xing Ruyi can't help but turn his head to look at Yu An beside him.

Soon, the team disappeared from them.

"Alright, it's okay." Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll take you to the Beauty Shop to find Aunt Ying." ”

"Where is that team going?" Xing Ruyi asked, still having the woman's appearance in his mind.

"I don't know." Lin Xiao shook his head: "This surnamed Wu seems to like marrying very much, and every once in a while, he will marry a girl from the beauty shop." Every time, I will deliberately go around this city gate. He has a bad temper, and there are many ghosts under him, and all the ghosts are afraid of touching the mold, and when they meet him to marry, they will take the initiative to get out of the way. As for where these beautiful brides were married by him, no ghost knows, because the big guys dare not follow to see the excitement. ”

"You just said that these brides were all found by Wu Sansi from Beauty Fang?"

"That's right, it's Yinggu's beauty shop. It's strange to say, this Ying Gu always has a way to find the most beautiful girl in this vain city. ”

"Yu An!" Xing Ruyi suddenly clasped Yu An's hand: "I think I know why we are here." ”

"Why?"

"Because of your mother, because of Wang Shuying, and because of that beauty shop."

"What the shopkeeper said, Yu An can't understand."

"Do you remember the story you told about Wang Shuying? After Wang Shuying was killed by Ma Bonian, the sisters of your beauty shop funded her to be buried in a mass grave. She was killed, so she entered the city of vain death after her death, but she had neither relatives nor descendants, and she was penniless, so she could only be angry here, but Wang Shuying, after all, was not an ordinary female ghost.

Before her death, she was in prison for three years, and she came out of prison and quickly sold her ancestral property to build a beauty workshop, no matter whether Ma Bonian's two children were killed by her, those two children died in Beauty Fang, she was betrayed, and her father and mother hated the revenge, she avenged.

Such a woman who knows how to forbear, and has full courage and decision-making ability, even if she becomes a ghost, she can find a suitable way for her own survival. Therefore, she used great speed to find the weakness of the city of vain, that is, the ghost pawn who was good with her, and then built a new beauty shop.

It is unknown how she and Wu Sansi met, but right now, they should have reached some kind of deal. Wang Shuying took advantage of the convenience that she could enter and leave the city at will, and often went out, and when she met a suitable girl, she brought her down. Your mother's death may not be an accident, but was taken by this Wang Shuying. ”

The last sentence of the shopkeeper, Yu An understood. The shopkeeper said that my mother is now in this beauty shop. ”

"No!" Xing Ruyi shook his head: "If you guess correctly, the bride sitting in the sedan chair is your mother." ”

"The bride?" Yu An quickly lifted the curtain and looked out.

It was empty outside, and there was nothing but the lanterns that were still hanging.

"Your mother should be the girl that Wu Sansi just married from Beauty Fang."

"Yu An, we're late!"

"No, it can't be that coincidental. My mother has been dead for a long time, even if she is in the city of death, even if that Wu Sansi falls in love with her, she will not marry just today. It won't be so coincidental, it won't be so coincidental. ”

"Your mother has been dead for a long time, but just because she has been dead for a long time doesn't mean that she will definitely stay in the city of vain for a long time." Xing Ruyi turned his gaze to Lin Xiao's face: "Lin Xiao, think about it carefully, has there been a beauty who looks a little similar to Yu An in the past few days in the city of vain death?" ”

"There is no one like you who walked in through the gates of the city by yourself." Lin Xiao pondered: "But there are those who were carried in by a sedan chair." ”

"Carried in by a sedan chair?"

"Hmm!" Lin Xiao tapped his chin: "I said, this vain dead city is not much different from the one above." Some walked in by themselves, and some came in on horseback and sedan chairs. The good-looking woman, who looked like both Hu and Han, and was dressed in a big red dress, was carried in a sedan chair. It's just that the sedan chair is a little strange, like two people of different weights sitting in it, and it's a little crooked. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to see the people inside through the open curtain. ”

"She is Yu An's mother, and we came to the city of death in vain just to find her mother."
