Chapter 246: Fox Incense (13)
Xing Ruyi took Yu An to the mass grave to find the bones of Yu An's mother. As a result, he found the grave of Ma Wang Shuying and listened to a somewhat sad story. After listening to the story, the doubts were not solved, that is, why did Yu An find this tomb?
"Is your Yu family related to these two families?"
"Probably not." Yu An shook his head: "I have never heard my mother mention it." However, I can't be sure, after all, I was too young when my mother left, and I can't remember a lot of things. Moreover, my mother belongs to the outer room of the Yu family, and she knows very little about the things that are really related to the Yu family. ”
"How much do you remember about this tombstone, and this mass grave?"
"It's all messy images." Yu An lowered his eyes: "If I still remember, I won't trouble the shopkeeper to go with me this time." ”
Xing Ruyi originally wanted to use ghost magic to summon all the lonely souls and wild ghosts here to ask carefully, but when she arrived at the mass grave, she found that her ghost magic seemed to be out of order. She could only see those who had just died, but she had no way to communicate with them.
Her magic seems to be fading away.
"There's another way." Xing Ruyi stared at Yu An's hand: "But I can't guarantee that I will find your mother." ”
"What's the solution?"
"Have you ever heard of Ten Fingers Linked to the Heart?"
Yu An hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Xing Ruyi pulled off the hairpin on his head and handed it to Yu An.
"Prick your fingers with this hairpin and drip blood on the dry bones around you. If your mother's bones are mixed in, they will automatically stand up when they encounter blood. ”
Yu An took the hairpin, and without the slightest hesitation, poked it towards the finger of his left hand. There were five fingers in total, each dripping with blood.
"So, is it okay?" Yu An bit his lip and asked.
Xing Ruyi nodded at her a little unbearably: "Yes." ”
Yu An endured the pain from his fingertips and moved around the grave step by step. Blood dripped down the fingertips and fell onto the bones that were either exposed or half-hidden by the dirt.
When Yu An was about to circle around, one of the bones stood up, Yu An looked happy and shouted in surprise: "Stand up, this bone stands up." Shopkeeper, did I find my mother, did I find me-"
Before An finished asking, a thick fog rose around him, and then both of them were swept into the thick fog. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves standing in front of a black castle tower, and on the upper floor were written three big white characters: "City of Death".
"Dead City?" Yu An asked suspiciously, "Have we arrived at the underworld?" ”
Dead City!
Legend has it that this is a city created by King Jizo Bodhisattva for the ghosts who died by unjustified disasters, and it is located on the right side of the main hall of Hell Fengdu, adjacent to the Nai Ho Bridge, and in charge of this castle is the sixth of the ten halls of Yama, King Bian Cheng.
For the underworld, Xing Ruyi is a frequent visitor, but this underworld is wider than the realm of the yang, and there are more cities, and she has really never visited this dead city.
As for how to get to the city of vain death, Xing Ruyi can't figure it out. She figured that it was her ghostly magic that was failing day by day, causing all the spells to deviate to varying degrees. If it comes, it will be safe, and it is much easier to deal with ghosts than with people.
"Are you scared?" Xing Ruyi asked Yu An, and at the same time held her hand intimately: "If you are afraid, you can call it out." ”
Yu An smiled, and his heart was originally a little scared, but because of Xing Ruyi's words, he also became calm.
"The shopkeeper is not afraid, what else is Yu An afraid of. This place, sooner or later, is coming. ”
"That's good." Xing Ruyi took Yu An's hand and went to the city gate.
In front of the door, there were no guards in sight.
The two of them tried to reach out, only to find that the thick-looking black door panel was actually just a black mist. Through the black mist, the ground lit up. No one thought that this vain city was a lively and prosperous scene, far from the imaginary picture of lonely souls wandering, crying and crying.
The only difference is that the streets are full of paper cars and paper horses, and the drivers are also paper people.
Just as the two looked at each other and didn't know where to go, a carriage stopped in front of them. Followed, and a young man jumped out of the car. When he saw the two of them, he first cut his hair, then grinned and asked, "The two girls are new here, and they look very angry." Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Lin, Shuangmulin, and my single name is a Xiao character. Lin Xiao is me, I am Lin Xiao. There is no place in this city that I don't know, and there are no people or things I don't know. Whether you're here to visit friends and family, or you're just here and need a place to stay, you can find me. ”
"My brother is right, our sister is indeed just here. I wonder if there are any rules in this city? Xing Ruyi asked with a smile, and looked at Lin Xiao by the way. There is no ghost card on the body, which means that it is not a ghost. It's either a ghost or a ghost. Being able to run to the city gate to solicit customers shows that he is not an ordinary imp.
"Rules? We don't really have any rules here. Lin Xiao scratched his head: "Anyway, since I came here, I haven't heard of any rules here." As long as you are honest and safe, you can make no trouble. Oh, by the way, our city lord is very busy, and the people in this city have not seen this city lord for hundreds of years. So, even if you're new here, don't be too restrictive. ”
Lin Xiao smiled after speaking, and was about to invite the two of them to get into the car when he suddenly asked again: "Do you have any relatives to send money?" ”
"Send money?" Yu An looked at Lin Xiao puzzled.
"yes, send money. This costs money regardless of the yang and the underworld. Look at these ghosts, the reason why they live so leisurely is because someone gave them money. With this money, you can buy a house in the city, and you can go out shopping and buy things. If you don't have a lot of money, you can buy it outside the city. There is no bustle outside the city, and there are many messy imps, so it is not as comfortable as here. ”
"So, what if you don't have any money?"
"Like me?" Lin Xiao pointed at himself: "Then you can only find a way to make money." Well, the people on the street and the people in the building who are laughing are all paid for by no one. ”
"But we just came, we don't understand anything, even if our relatives want to send money, it can't be sent in a while." Yu An looked embarrassed: "Then what should we do?" ”
"It's okay, I can lend you some first, but I'll borrow money from me and pay it back twice." Lin Xiao said, took out a handful of dark coins from his arms and handed it to Yu An: "Use it first, and then return it to me when your relatives send you money." For the sake of both of you being beauties, I don't need you to pay it back. ”
"Thank you, Brother Lin, your kindness, An'er has written it down." Yu An said that he was blessed.
"It turns out that your name is An'er, people are like their names, people are like their names. What about you? Lin Xiao stared at Xing Ruyi with blank eyes.
"Me?" Xing Ruyi squinted and smiled: "My name is Ruyi." ”
"It's a good name, too!" Lin Xiao first gave a thumbs up to save face, then turned around, jumped lightly, and jumped into the carriage, "Where do you two want to go, I'll take you there." This ride is free and I don't charge money. ”
"We're looking for someone, but we don't know where to look."
"You don't know, I know." Lin Xiao blinked: "Do you have a name, report a name." ”
"Wang Shuying!"
"Wang Shuying?" Lin Xiao frowned and thought for a while: "This name is not unusual, in our city, there are not a thousand but eight hundred people with this name, what are you looking for?" ”
"Ma Wang Shuying! Her husband's surname was Ma, and he was killed. After her death, her bones were buried in a mass grave, and there should be no relatives to send her money. Her father and mother died before she was killed, and her husband, who killed her, also went crazy afterwards. ”
"You're talking about Aunt Ying, right?"
"Aunt Ying?"
"That's right! Her original name was Wang Shuying, and later changed her name to Yinggu. ”
"Can you take us to her?"
"What's not to do." Lin Xiao patted his chest: "It's not difficult to take you over, but the difficult thing is that you may not be able to see her." ”
"Why?"
"This Ying Gu is different from us ghosts, she seems to be quite capable, and she just got along with a ghost under the city lord when she first arrived here. Don't look at our city is quite loose, especially at the gate of this city, there is not even a gatekeeper, but none of the ghosts who came here dared to go up there casually to make trouble. Only Yinggu can walk through this door at will and go out to breathe. Oh, do you see that building? It's also Yinggu's. It can be said that it is the most nostalgic place in our vain city, and it is also the place where people can spend money and make the most money. ”
"That's ......"
"Beauty Place!"
"Beauty Place?" Yu An and Xing Ruyi glanced at each other.
"Well, Beauty Place, Aunt Ying built it at her own expense."
Before Lin Xiao finished speaking, he saw many old ghosts and male ghosts wearing gold and silver, driving luxury carriages, heading towards the beauty shop.
"See, the people who go to that place are all powerful, powerful, and rich ghosts in our city. Now, it is the most lively time in Na Lirenfang, especially in the past few days, Na Yinggu doesn't know where to get a few ghosts, all of them look ghostly, but they are good-looking. Oh, if you look at these unknowledged ones, they are rushing to them one by one, and you are afraid that you will not be able to see them if you are lagging behind. ”
Wang Shuying of the Yang world, after coming out of prison, sold her property and built a beauty shop.
Wang Shuying in the underworld, because she had no relatives to send money, found a city lord's subordinate to make a good match, and built a beauty workshop.
This Wang Shuying is really an extraordinary Wang Shuying.
The two were looking for how to get Lin Xiao to bring them in, when they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums, and then the ghosts who were still shopping stopped one by one and disappeared in an instant.
Looking at Lin Xiao again, he also smiled, changed his face, and pointed to the carriage and said to the two: "Come in, I can't stay here!" ”
