When I was half asleep, I heard a slight noise, suddenly, opened my eyes, it was Lan Ruoxi, she came out of the quilt, tiptoeing, this will, Ji Yun'er is not there, I don't know where she went.

I half-squinted and looked at Lan Ruoxi, she walked gently past my bed on tiptoes, she wanted to get out, and I hurriedly got up.

"Where are you going?"

"Qingyuan." Lan Ruoxi looked at me with some embarrassment.

I smiled and got up, and it was dark except for the faint green glow that came through the room.

"I'll go with you."

Think about Ji Yun'er, today, as soon as we mentioned the human and ghost sacrifices, she tied her face, as if she didn't want us to get involved.

Downstairs, the door of the hotel was open, and on the street, at a glance, there were lanterns glowing green, and the street was deserted, and there was no one, and there were no ghosts, and it would be past 3 o'clock.

"Where are you going?"

Lan Ruoxi smiled.

"Go to the west side of town, isn't there a tower over there!"

Indeed, to the west of this town, there is a tall tower.

We walked quickly through the streets, and after walking for a short time, we came to the west side of the town, followed an alley, walked in, and after twisting and turning, we came to a large open space, on which were set up tables, chairs and benches, as if it were a banquet place.

The tower in front of us, with 6 floors, is circular, and each floor has several small windows, and we walked through the open space to the front of the tower.

"You two, do you want to die?"

The cold voice of Ji Yun'er came, I was startled, turned my head, she followed us, floating in the air, looking at us coldly.

"What's in there? Today I used Mai to track down the two ghosts and carry the child here. ”

Ji Yun'er sneered.

"Come here, I'll tell you."

Lan Ruoxi walked over, and I followed over, Ji Yun'er fell, smiled mysteriously, and turned around.

"For disobedient children, they can only be tied up."

As soon as the words fell, I saw a burst of green light flashing on Ji Yun'er's back, and all of a sudden, two things stretched out, crunching, it was something like a tail bone tail, a truncated white bone, all of a sudden, like a rope, entangled the two of us.

"You ......" Lan Ruoxi was about to say something, but Ji Yun'er stretched out her hand and covered his mouth.

"Someone's coming." With that, Ji Yun'er flew into the air, took the two of us with her, and then went around to the back of the tower.

"Hey, it's far from enough, what should I do?"

"The three masters, as well as the lady, are still waiting for the memorial, what should I do?"

Two voices, one old and one young.

"In recent years, fewer and fewer people have come."

"Isn't it, the appetite of those four adults, in the past few years, seems to be a bit big, I can only wait and see, in a few days, maybe, the few people who went out come back, can they bring one and a half."

The old one, with a voice, looked helpless.

"Hey, Uncle Wang, aren't there two living people here today? It seems to be a husband and wife. ”

"Why didn't you kid say it earlier, tomorrow, find a way to keep them here."

After a while, the sound was gone, and Ji Yun'er flew out with us.

"Hmph, those four guys, it seems, are they a little too inflated."

I don't understand what Ji Yun'er means by saying this, but with the green light on her body, in a trance, I saw the situation in the tower, it was a white skeleton, child.

Back in the room, Lan Ruoxi and I gave the bone-tail-like thing firmly fixed on the bed.

"Listen, we'll leave tomorrow at dawn."

"Don't ask why? As I said, we are here to find medicine, not for anything else. ”

"Are those children sacrifices?"

Lan Ruoxi asked.

Ji Yun'er sighed, and after a burst of green light, the bones and tails wrapped around our bodies were gone.

"Here are the four ghost kings, created, so, since the beginning of creation, the rules have been set, human beings, here, can enjoy themselves and will not be hurt by ghosts, and all ghosts will do things for humans for free, such as farming, building houses, but ......"

Ji Yun'er paused, and stopped talking.

"Have you ever seen a carnivore that doesn't eat meat?"

We shook our heads, and all of a sudden, I understood.

"Cannibalism? This human ghost sacrifice? ”

Ji Yun'er nodded.

"At this time of year, human beings must provide living people to the ghosts, generally children, or voluntarily become food, and the part that is not enough is decided by lot, and every year, 37 people need to be provided, of which children, are the most popular."

I gasped.

"Then why are there so many people coming in?"

"People who voluntarily become townspeople here will be informed of these conditions, if you don't want to, you can leave, here, there are many people, all criminals, go outside, on the contrary, will give Yang Shi's legal sanctions, if caught, it is better to live happily in this place."

"Hasn't anyone thought of running? There's always going to be someone who can't stand it, right? Lan Ruoxi asked.

Ji Yuna shook her head.

"I said that once you have a memory of this place, you can't get out, as long as you have the slightest bit in your heart and like this place, you can't go out."

Ji Yun'er said, walked up to Lan Ruoxi, and looked at her.

"It's better not to like it, or you won't be able to leave."

"Wouldn't they do it to people from the outside?"

Ji Yuna shook her head.

"You should see the truncated road, it is not naturally broken, but back then, Zhong Kui's old man, came here, hunted ghosts, and discovered this place by chance, and then I don't know what the reason is, he made a contract with the four ghost kings, not allowed to go outside, and the people who returned to the yang world, the people and ghosts here, in and out, are all free."

"And, Zhong Kui naturally wouldn't believe the words of the four ghost kings, so before leaving, he used his sword to cut off the road connecting people and ghosts, and set up an extremely powerful yin and yang method, the more powerful the ghost, the more difficult it is to get out."

I looked at Ji Yun'a.

"And how did you get out?"

"Qingyuan, what about this, don't ask, now those four ghost kings can't get out, so you can only let some little ghosts, or some willing people, go out and help them bring some people who are tired of the world in and live here."

"Yin Qiujian said that ghosts can use evil qi as food, and they don't need to eat or drink?"

I asked again.

Ji Yuna shook her head.

"Ghosts who feed on evil spirits, after a long time, themselves, will not be able to stand it, when the time comes, they can't bear it, and the evil qi is not as simple as eating people, but may have to eat ghosts, ordinary ghosts, it is impossible to do what we do, and this place, when you come, do you feel gloomy?"

I shook my head, it is true that the gathering place of ordinary ghosts will be a little cold, but this place is not too gloomy.

"The huge earth qi around here will flow to one place, the Evil Yin Mountain, so it can't naturally produce evil qi."

Ji Yuna was in the room, walking around, as if there was something upset.

"Little girl, you take a good look at Zhang Qingyuan, I'll hurry up and go to Evil Yin Mountain now, find the medicine, you guys these days, try not to go out, at most 3 days, I will come back, don't have any memories of this place, tomorrow, those ghosts and people will come to woo you and let you live here, don't agree."

Then Ji Yun'er explained a lot of things before leaving, Lan Ruoxi's expression was solemn, and she seemed to know that this time, there was nothing we could do.

Sure enough, by the next day, there was a lot of noise downstairs.

"Knock knock" boss knocked on our room.

"Guests, congratulations, we will draw a lottery every year at this time, according to the order of the guests who come in, congratulations on winning the lottery, in the human and ghost festival, you can enjoy everything here, all for free."

I smiled stiffly.

Lan Ruoxi seemed very comfortable, as soon as she came downstairs, there were many people and ghosts, hoping to invite us over, taste some food and drink, and want to treat us warmly.

I wanted to refuse, but Lan Ruoxi agreed.

"Why don't we go back to our room and stay there?" I whispered, and Lan Ruoxi smiled.

"Since it's free, why not play it? Don't worry, I have had enough of such a place yesterday, and those who are here, since they are kept by their own free will, we should not be nosy. ”

At mealtime, we sat in a gorgeous shop, and a large table of good dishes was served, and we ate.

"Guest, do you want to think about playing for ten days and half a month? We have a lot of fun things here, and there are a lot of delicious food. ”

The boss on the side immediately said with a smile.

"It depends." Lan Ruoxi said and smiled.

After eating, two carriages stopped at the door.

"Guest, there is a cherry blossom forest to the east of us, but it is beautiful, you can go and have a look."

I really wanted to go back, and I kept telling myself not to take care of the place.

At that moment, a car stopped at the door, and I blinked, it was a white convertible.

"Guest, our lady, please come over." The driver, dressed in a white suit and holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, handed it over.

I let out a sigh, and all of a sudden, everyone next to me applauded.

"Guest, Mrs. Sima, but this famous beauty, it must be a good thing to invite you over."

I immediately and decisively refused, but Lan Ruoxi pushed me.

"Qingyuan, go and take a look, it's okay, people are humane, ghosts have ghosts, people don't commit ghosts, and ghosts won't offend people rashly."

I got into the car, and after the car drove to the middle of the town, I headed towards the north street, not far away, only after a short drive, I saw a villa, at the end of the street, at the door, standing gongs and drums of the welcome party, the air was constantly scattered with pink petals.
