Chapter 160: The Desolate Salt City
After two more days of recuperation, Jun Cha was already able to get off the bed (bed chuáng) activity.
Regarding the relationship between Qing Fanyan and her mother, Qing Fanyan had already explained to her, her mother and her were very good friends, but she didn't know about her mother's family, and she didn't know what kind of person her mother's family was.
The last time Gu Li came here, he said that a lot of people have died in Yancheng recently, and they have worked hard to control the number of deaths over there, but there are still casualties one after another.
The exact cause has not yet been found.
"Let's go to Yancheng and have a look." Jun Cha proposes to see if they have any other ideas.
"Okay." Jinghe and they all agreed, so they came to Yancheng.
As soon as she entered Yancheng, compared to when she first left, it was completely different from the past (日rì) heavy and desolate, there were almost no people on the street, only a few scattered people who came out to sell vegetables.
The shops are also closed.
The city was desolate.
"In just a few days, this place has become like this." Xiaofeng sighed.
"This piece is under the jurisdiction of the Dragon King, and this place has become this ghost, the Dragon King, he has an unshirkable responsibility, let's go and see it first." Jinghe.
They walked, but Juncha didn't follow.
"What's wrong?" Qing Fanyan looked back at her in confusion.
Jun Cha frowned, "The Dragon King is responsible, but the local officials are also responsible, you go to the Dragon King, and I will find the officials in this area." ”
"I'll go with you." Qing Fanyan.
"It's okay, it's safer for the two of you to go together." Jinghe.
Jiu Ruosong thought for a while and said, "That's it, let's divide our troops into three ways, you go to find the Dragon King, you go to the officials, and I'll go and see if the innkeeper can find any useful news from him." [#~ (Love ài) Strange Literature.. @*Better updated faster]
"Uh-huh."
The five-man soldier was divided into three routes.
They came to the lord's house, but the gate was closed and there was no one outside.
The two jumped on the fence and climbed in.
"(身shēn) hands are so skilled, it's not once or twice to climb over people's walls, right?" Qing Fanyan quipped.
Jun Cha, "It's okay, it's not very often. ”
The two walked in.
"Why isn't there anyone here?" Qing Fanyan felt strange and touched the dust on the cabinet casually.
"Such a thick layer of dust......"
"It looks like no one has lived here for a long time." Juncha looked at the rest of the house, and the only exception was dust.
"Since no one has lived there for a long time, where has the city lord of Yancheng gone?"
Jun Cha pursed his lips and pondered, "Let's go to another place first." ”
They came to the Horse Mansion, and there were no birds in the Horse Mansion now, and they didn't touch a few servants all the way in.
When they saw them, they ran away as fast as if they had seen a ghost.
They sensed something was wrong.
Jun Cha grabbed a maid casually, "What are you hiding?" It's not like I haven't seen it. ”
The maid's hands trembled with fright, "I don't know anything...... Don't catch me......"
Juncha frowned, are they so terrifying? "To
What's going on? What about Master Ma? ”
"Sir...... The old man was captured by a monster......"
"Captured by a youkai? Make the words clear. Juncha shook her off.
"Soon after you left, a group of people came to the house, they said that there was a way to restore the young master's senses, and the master went with them, but this time he never came back, and then one after another people began to die in the city, some died in the well, some died in the river, and some died on the roof, in short, there were dead people everywhere, and we people in the house did not dare to go out, but there were still people missing, and now there are few people in the house." The maid said in fear.
"What about the ringgit?"
"Young master, he ...... Young Master, he ran out, and we didn't dare to go out to find him, so we didn't know where he was. ”
Tut-tut, these people, this is the person (sex xìng).
"Then do you know why so many people died?" Jun Cha knew that Twilight Qing'an and Shark Wing hadn't found out the cause of death yet, but they, as the parties involved, would definitely guess some of them.
"Everyone is privately rumoring that the city lord was captured by monsters, and the city lords after that are all pretending to be monsters, and there are often people missing in the city, but in fact, they are caught by the city lord and eaten."
"Absurd." Qing Fanyan frowned, this area is guarded by the Dragon King, how can there be a monster who dares to fake a tiger here?
She looked at Jun Cha to see what she was going to do.
"If you are hiding in the house, then don't go out." Jun Cha and the two left Ma Mansion.
They came to the inn.
Jiu Ruosong was standing in the inn, but she was the only one.
As they walked in, the inn was bleaker than usual.
"What about people?" Jun tea.
"Not here, I've already looked for the entire inn, and there is no one." Wine is like a song.
"Is there no one in such a big inn?" Qing Fanyan felt strange, she closed her eyes and listened carefully to the sounds around her.
They saw that she was listening, and they didn't bother her.
Qing Fanyan opened his eyes, "There is one more." ”
"Where?" Jiu Ruosong watched her walk behind the counter and slipped out of someone.
"Where's the hostess?" Jun Cha looked at the shopkeeper who had slipped out of the belt and asked.
When the shopkeeper saw them, it was like seeing a savior, and he was moved to cry bitterly, "I don't know, after you left, the proprietress said to go out to find someone, and then she never came back." ”
"Did that boy come later?" Although she knew that Boilman was imprisoned in the sea by the Dragon King, she still asked, after all, he shouldn't just let the boss lady leave it alone.
"I haven't been here, but a man who claims to be the elder brother of the son came here to ask, but he saw that the proprietress was not here and he left again." The shopkeeper recalled the (情qíng) shape of the day.
The sun was about to go down that day, and he waited by the door for the proprietress to come back, looking left and right, but he never saw her come back, and when he was worried about her, a son came.
"Eh, guest officer, please inside, is it a hotel? Or eat
This? ”
The boy didn't walk in the door, he just stood at the door and looked inside the inn, "I don't eat and don't live in the store, what about your boss?" ”
"Our boss lady hasn't come back yet, Childe, do you have anything to do with our boss lady?"
Hearing her say that the proprietress hadn't come back yet, she didn't look into the house anymore, he smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm the brother of the son who often came to your inn a few days ago, my brother can't come to come with something, so he asked me to come and see, I didn't have much time to come out a few days ago, and it was not easy to pass by here, so I thought about coming to see her, since I wasn't there, let's come to see her next time." ”
After that he was gone.
The shopkeeper felt that he was a little strange, but he didn't take it to heart, but the proprietress never came back, and he was very worried.
Juncha guessed that the person who came here to inquire about the proprietress should be a certain brother of Prince Long.
"Let's talk about the aftermath." Wine Ruosong and the others sat down.
"Later, the proprietress never came back, I thought about whether something would happen to her, I wanted to report to the official, but the city lord was not there, and there was no county lord or anything on our side, the city lord was not there, and no one could help find the boss, so I was ready to close the inn, and then go out to find her, but just when I closed the door and was about to go out, there was a sudden gust of sea breeze, the wind was very strong at that time, and it was dusty outside, I couldn't see the road at all, and I had no choice but to come back."
"And what about later?" Qing Fanyan.
"I've been waiting at the inn since then, and I've wondered if the proprietress will come back after a while." The shopkeeper always thought about what Jun Cha had said to him before, in case the proprietress was no longer here one day, he would definitely have to take on the responsibility of this inn, so he didn't go out again, but guarded the inn well, waiting for her to come back.
The three of them looked at each other and nodded, stood up, Jun Cha, "You just stay in the inn, don't go anywhere, remember not to leave the door of the inn, otherwise I won't be able to protect you, we will go to the proprietress of the hostess, don't worry." ”
When they left, Juncha put a barrier on the inn, and no one but humans could enter.
They came to the bottom of the sea.
Before I saw the Dragon Palace, I was surrounded by a lot of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
"What are you doing here?" Jun Cha frowned.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals know that they are not her opponents, but they dare not disobey them.
"Miss Jun, the Dragon King has an order, as long as anyone who has something to do with you comes to the Dragon Palace, all of them will be arrested."
In this way, Jinghe and Xiaofeng have either escaped or have been arrested.
"What about my two companions?" Jun tea.
"Don't worry, girl, they're all right, they're just locked up."
They had no choice but to follow them first.
They were thrown into the same cage as Jinghe and Xiaofeng.
"Why did you come in too?" Jinghe frowned, they were also caught, which was a bit unexpected for him.
According to Jun Tea's
(sex xìng) sub, she can't be so easy to be taken care of by those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, grabbed and thrown into here.
"They said you had been arrested, and I didn't worry about you, so I came." She said that the clouds were light and the wind was light.
"Did you notice it when you came into the sea?" Qing Fanyan suddenly spoke, and she stood at the back.
For a split second they all looked at her.
"Didn't you notice? The middle of the sea was full of miasma. ”
They looked at each other, as if asking if they had noticed.
But none of them found out.
"Didn't you all find out?" Qing Fanyan began to wonder if it was his own delusion.
"Which sea?" Xiaofeng.
"It's the layer above the bottom of the sea, the layer below the surface of the sea." Qing Fanyan is doing her best to make it clear to them.
"We really didn't find out."
Juncha wondered why so many of them didn't find out, but she did.
"It's also possible that I'm delusional." She began to doubt herself.
"No, I think it's possible that what you said is true." Jinghe.
They all looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
"If you think about it, so many people died in Yancheng one after another, according to the descriptions of the local people, they (shēn) have no fatal wounds, but there are no signs of poisoning, I think it may not be that there is no poisoning, but they have not found out what poison they have been in, if it is really a miasma, then this can be explained." Jinghe.
"No, if you really drank water with miasma, it would be impossible for Shark Wing not to notice it." Wine is like a song.
They were silent again.
"Don't worry about it for now, we have to find out why so many people died in Yancheng now, who did it." Juncha sat down and looked around.
Something suddenly occurred to her, "We'll have to find a way out, maybe someone knows what's going on." ”
Xiao Feng's eyes lit up as if he suddenly remembered something, "Yes, he should know wow." ”
"How do you get out of here? The iron pillar outside is too thin, even Xiaofeng, who was a child, couldn't drill through it. "Wine is sorrowful.
They sat down, thinking.
"I'll try." I don't know how long it took, Qing Fanyan stood up.
She froze the guards outside, and with a hard effort, the guards were in her hands.
"It's useless for you to pretend to be them, they can't open this cage." Xiao Feng's big eyes were full of big doubts.
I saw a string of incantations come out of her mouth, and the ice on the person who was frozen (body shēn) slowly melted, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were blank and his eyes were glazed.
She didn't know what she had said, and the guard left the place like a corpse walking (meat ròu).
"Wow, how did you do that?" Jiu Ruosong was stunned, this was the first time she had seen that in addition to controlling the poisonous Gu people, there were also people who could control others in this way.
"This can't be said to be a secret." Qing Fanyan smiled mysteriously.
"Where did you let him go?" Jun Cha is curious.
"I asked him to trick the person who could open the iron door, and let him tell him that we are all gone, and you will cooperate well later, and everyone will hide." Qing Fanyan.
