Chapter XXXIII A City for the Dead

As soon as I walked into Tic-Tac-Toe City, the empty and uninhabited atmosphere came to my face unconsciously, and the atmosphere of everyone was dispelled in an instant.

When I looked at the tic-tac-toe city on the cliff before, I just felt the huge size of this city, and when I was in the city, I found that the tic-tac-toe city was not only huge and tall, all the buildings here were at least one level higher than the usual human buildings, and I felt that this city was not for people to live in, and when I saw the houses on both sides of the road, Zhao Fengdemon completely confirmed that this city was not for people to live, it may be for the witch clan that Qin Zheng said in his mouth, and it may also be for the dead to live, that is, ghosts.

"Let's go to these houses and see if we can find any clues." Qin Zheng commanded.

This city is weird, so everyone can't be dispersed, it's still the same forward mode as before, Zheng Feng opened the way in front, stretched out his hand and pushed open a house similar to the style of a mansion, and walked in.

There was nothing in the house, no furniture.

"Look at that." Shun Ning behind him pointed to the position of the ceiling and said.

Everyone followed the prestige, and there was a hanging coffin hanging from the ceiling, and on both sides of the hanging coffin, there were some hanging furniture-like things.

"These are things for the dead." Qin Zheng pointed to the corner of the roof, where two paper figures with exaggerated shapes and bright makeup said, "We have come to the City of the Dead. ”

"City of the Dead?" Zhao Fengyou asked curiously.

"The city built for the dead, that is, the ghost town, no wonder there has been a saying that there are ghosts in the capital since ancient times, but I didn't expect that there is really a legendary ghost city in the capital of Xudu." Qin Zheng explained.

"Section Chief, do you mean that the place where we are now is the legendary Xudu?" Shunning asked with a shocked face.

"I don't know, but it feels like this is it." Qin Zheng shook his head and said.

"Liuchuan, Lethe, could it be that the Wu Clan text on the city gate before means Lethe?" Shun Ning denied his own way.

"No, that's the word Liuchuan." Zhao Fengyou stood up and said.

"You also know the Wiccan script?" Shun Ning looked at Zhao Fengyou and asked.

"Well, I know, homeschool." Zhao Fengyou said.

"Homeschooling?" Shun Ning looked at Zhao Fengyou suspiciously.

"He is the grandson of Feng Shui master Zhao Ziyu." Qin Zheng explained, "It's not uncommon to know how to point out the Wu language, after all, Zhao Ziyu should have been in contact with all the Wu materials collected by the Republic of China." ”

After Shunning heard that Zhao Fengxian was Zhao Ziyu's grandson, even the eyes that looked at Zhao Fengxian changed, no longer the indifferent appearance before, but became a little curious, and wanted to explore the true eyes of a person's heart.

"You wait here, I'll go up and see." Qin Zheng rose from the ground, jumped onto the beam of the house in one step, and carefully pushed open the hanging coffin below.

A cold aura instantly spread throughout the room, and Qin Zheng subconsciously retracted his hand.

"Section Chief, are you alright?" Zheng Feng asked with concern below.

"It's okay, there's nothing in the coffin." Qin Zheng took out a flashlight and took a picture in the hanging coffin and said.

"Section Chief, watch your back." Zhao Fengyou, who had been paying close attention to the movements above, saw a ghost suddenly appear behind Qin Zheng and reminded loudly.

"Charm and spirit, carving insect skills." Qin Zheng actually hung upside down with his feet on the beams of the room, causing the ghost behind him to pounce into the air, and then a spin, and appeared behind the ghost again, and the one-handed seal hit the ghost's body heavily, a ghostly light flashed, the ghost dissipated, and the temperature of the entire room also returned to a normal state.

Qin Zheng jumped down from the beam of the house, landed firmly on the ground, and explained the reason why he said those words just now, "These things are very cunning, if they don't believe it, they will definitely not come out." ”

Then I saw Qin Zheng stretch out his hand, handed a dark green crystal in his hand to Shun Ning's eyes and asked, "Do you know this thing?" ”

Shun Ning didn't mean to answer, but looked at Zhao Fengyou on the side.

Zhao Fengdemon shook his head and said with a smile, "I just learned some witch characters from my grandfather, what is this, I really haven't seen it, and I haven't heard my grandfather say that he has been there." ”

"This is a soul bone, a thing used by the ancient witch clan to refine the human race into ghosts." Shunning explained.

Zhao Fengyou was very curious, where did Shunning know about these news, you know, this thing Qin Zheng, the person in charge of the region of the Spirit Division, did not know.

However, it was obvious that Qin Zheng was very trusting of Shunning, nodded and asked, "What is the use of this thing in the coffin?" ”

"Every human being who has been refined into a ghost by the Wu clan has its own soul bone, once this soul bone is placed in the coffin, it can be said that the coffin is the owner's thing, but these soul bones are not owned by the ghost himself, but by the Wu clan who refined them into ghosts." Shun Ning explained, "Therefore, these ghosts and soul bones belong to the Wu clan, which is equivalent to the slaves in the slave society, and they are negotiable items. ”

"But looking at the structure of this house, the owner of this soul bone should have a very respectable status, if every room is arranged like this, then it is very likely that the whole city was built by someone to place these ghosts." Shunning continued.

"In other words, the things suppressed by this demon land are not the demon beasts raised by the witch clan in our imagination, but these ghosts?" Qin Zheng asked.

"It's very likely." Shun Ning nodded, "If these things can be found in every house, then it is very likely that this demon land is suppressing a hundred ghosts, so it is normal for this place to be called a ghost in the capital by legend." ”

"Drunken ghosts, hundreds of ghosts walk at night, so what is in the middle of this tic-tac-toe city?" Qin Zheng said, his face suddenly became a little anxious, and he shouted, "Go full speed and get to the wellhead." ”

Everyone was a little confused, how could Qin Zheng, who had nothing to do just now, suddenly become so anxious, but he still followed, only Zhao Fengyou realized a trace of the problem.

The structure of the tic-tac-toe city is not the same as the traditional city structure, so even if Qin Zheng personally led the way in front, he still came to a dead end.

"Has anyone ever experienced Tic-Tac-Toe?" Qin Zheng finally realized the problem.

"Nope." Everyone said in unison, and even the erudite Shunning shook his head helplessly.

"Section Chief, how about climbing over this city wall?" Zheng Feng asked, pointing to the wall in front of him.

"I'll try." Qin Zheng jumped over, more than four meters high, and when he was about to reach the city wall, he was bounced back.

"Nope." Qin Zheng stabilized his figure and said.

The scene was at one point ossified.
