I was about to ask a few more questions, when the old lady walked away with a basket of vegetables. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

"Haunted with a long face, do you sense something ghostly" Niu Dan stared at him and looked at the road.

"Aren't you talking nonsense. Your cow's nose should be smarter than mine, that ghostly breath. Masha listened to Niu Dan always call him with a big face, a little unhappy, and said angrily.

Indeed, I only felt a little weird, and I didn't feel anything ghostly.

If there is really a ghost in Qi City, and it can hide it from us, then this ghost is too powerful, unless it is an existence like a big ghost, and it has to be possessed by people, so that it can hide from the three of us at the same time.

"Forget it. Find a place to eat first, and then see if there is a small hotel or something, and then let's stay. "I'm right to the two.

So the three of us started wandering around the ancient city, looking for small restaurants and inns.

After walking around for a long time, I realized that this Qi city is very small, a little bigger than ordinary towns, and I also saw a few small restaurants on the road, but the doors were closed.

By this time, it was just getting dark, and there were few people moving on the streets, and almost all the portals were closed.

However, this Xincheng is said to be an ancient city, but it also lives up to its name, not only the architectural style is old, almost all of them are houses built of big blue bricks.

I don't know how many years these houses have been. But judging from the blue bricks that have fallen off the houses, I am afraid that these houses have existed for at least 50 years.

The most ancient city style is. I saw a lot of lanterns hanging in front of the gates, and the lanterns were not lit, but candles, but this kind of situation is not very common, even my hometown town has used lights a few years ago.

"Brother Guang, you see if there is something wrong in this small town, I haven't seen a few people along the way. Why are they all scared and in a hurry to get home?"

Niu Dan also realized Qi Cheng's weirdness, licked his lips and said.

"Yes, is it true that there are really ghosts who can escape our induction, it is not dark yet, most of the people have closed the door, it is really like seeing a ghost." Marca echoed.

I shook my head. I didn't understand why there was such a strange side, so I let out a sigh of relief and said, "Maybe that's how people live here." ”

Even I don't believe this, in this era, there are people in the entire county who are resting so early at the same time.

Seeing me say this, the two of them were also suspicious, and they didn't quite believe what I said, but they didn't say anything more.

It was getting darker and darker, and we were afraid that we would not be able to find a small restaurant, so we had to find a place to stay and let the owner of the small inn get some food.

What worries me the most is that there is not even a small hotel in this small county, because until now, we have not seen the word "hotel" on the door plate.

If that were the case, we wouldn't be allowed to sleep on the streets.

Chirping...

Suddenly, there was a sound of the door opening.

I followed the sound, and saw an old gate open next to it, and out of it came an old man, who opened the door and took down the lantern hanging on the gate, took out two candles from his bosom and lit them, and hung the lanterns on the door.

I just wanted to go over and ask if there was a hotel in Qicheng, but the old man hung up the lantern and hurriedly closed the door.

Chirping...

Immediately afterwards, there was another sound of the door opening, and the person who came out of the gate hurriedly lit the lantern and closed the door again, just like the old man. Shape wide holy stroke.

Then something happened that puzzled me.

The gates on both sides of the street opened one by one, and the men were all doing exactly the same thing, lighting lanterns

Almost instantly, the already dark streets were lit up again by the lanterns of every house.

The dim yellow light from the lanterns shines on the empty streets, making the atmosphere of the whole street strange and a little eerie.

The three of us stood in the middle of the street, stunned by this sudden phenomenon, what a situation

I saw street lights in the middle of the streets, but why didn't the people in this small town light lanterns and not turn on them?

"It's strange, there are no dogs and cats in the whole county, and the dog barking can't be heard."

At this time, Ma Sha looked around and said with a puzzled expression.

As soon as Ma Sha said that I realized, yes, this county is too quiet

I could still hear the sound of people moving before, but now there was no sound at all, as if it had suddenly become quiet.

And since we got off the bus in Qicheng, we haven't found a dog or a wild cat in the county.

"No, there are dogs and cats in this county." Niu Dan snorted twice and sniffed.

"How do you know?" asked Marsha.

"I smell dog poop and cat poop." Niu Dan said seriously.

Hearing the words of the cow egg, I almost stumbled, no wonder Ma Sha said that he has the most intelligent nose, and the smell of cat and dog feces can be smelled, but I didn't smell anything.

But when I think about it carefully, this county is too weird, what is going on here, so that cats and dogs don't dare to come out and don't bark.

You know, no matter how powerful the ghosts are, cats and dogs will not be afraid of them, and when they encounter ghosts, cats and dogs will bark more fiercely.

Cerberus, ghost cats, this is something that anyone who knows some Taoism knows, and many ghosts are afraid of these two animals.

The dog can't see ghosts, but it can smell the ghosts on the ghosts, and once the dog smells a ghost nearby, it will bark wildly, and even some psychic dogs will pounce on the ghosts and bite them.

Cats are different from dogs, cats' eyes go straight to the ghost road, can shine at night, and can see things that ordinary people can't see, because the cat's eyes go straight to the ghost road, so it can ingest the ghost's evil energy, which will cause great damage to the ghost's yin body.

It is also for this reason that many ghost creatures are afraid of cats.

Once the cat sees a ghost, it will stare at it with both eyes and make a meow sound, which is the cat's ingestion of the ghost's evil energy.

This is also why many people still hear cat meows in the middle of the night when it is not the spring season for cats, and that is because cats have seen ghosts and are ingesting ghosts.

Some cat owners will suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and find that the cat is staring at them, if the cat does not bark, it means that it is fine, if the cat barks, it means that it sees something around the cat owner.

This is also the reason why those who raise ghosts never have cats and dogs.

Realizing that the cats and dogs in the whole city had become quiet, I couldn't help but be a little frightened, Qi Cheng, what is there

As the lanterns lit up the streets, I finally saw the words on the sign in front of the house not far ahead.

"Go"

I hurriedly greeted the cow egg and the horse, and quickly walked towards the door of the house, and finally saw a place to live.

Walking over to the closed door, I knocked lightly.

"Who"

A moment later, a nervous question came from inside the door.

I said that we just came to Qicheng today, and we came to stay in the hotel.

Then, the door opened halfway through, and the head of a middle-aged man poked out from inside and looked at the three of us.

"It's a foreigner, come in." The man looked at us for a moment before opening the door through a slit that could only be passed through by one person, and beckoned.

Seeing this, we hurried in, for fear that he would regret not letting us stay again.

After entering the gate, there is a small courtyard inside, there is a small three-story building in the courtyard, the upper two floors are darkly lit, and the lower one is a large room with three adults and one child in the room.

Presumably, the people in the room are the man's wife and children.

"What are you three young babies doing in our Qi City," the man asked as he beckoned us in.

"Oh, we heard that this is an ancient city with a deep cultural background, so we thought we would take a look." I said.

"Look at your long-standing writing, you can see at a glance that you are a cultural person, that's right, our Qicheng is indeed an ancient city, and many houses are hundreds of years old." The man looked at me with pride in his eyes.

"Well, it's a pity you shouldn't have come." Before I could answer, the man shook his head again and sighed.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Niu Dan stepped forward and hurriedly asked.

The middle-aged man looked at Niu Dan, then at me and Ma Sha, and said, "Qicheng is haunted, don't you see that it's still early, and there is no one on the street, thanks to you young babies, you still dare to wander on the street." ”

This is the second time we have heard that it is haunted since we arrived in Qicheng, and I said in my heart that this small ancient city really has a powerful ghost thing.

"Let's go into the house and rest for a while, and then I'll clean up the room for you later." The man opened the door and said to us again.

At this moment, Ma Sha pulled the corner of my coat and pointed to a corner in the courtyard.

Looking in the direction of Ma Sha's finger, I found a big yellow dog lying quietly in the corner of the yard.
