Chapter 109: Clues (1st Update)
If that's what I've guessed, then what happened here? Why is it that the people in the whole city are so weird in their deaths?
I was a little hesitant to go down, there was a strange atmosphere everywhere in this dead city, and it was too late to leave, and it would be difficult to do anything unforeseen if something unexpected happened after going down.
But I still wonder what secrets there are in this city, why the people of the Devil's Garden have gone to great lengths to find this place, and why my father's death has so much to do with it, and I have to go in and find out anyway.
After making up my mind, I carefully bypassed the dried corpse soldiers on the city tower, and at the same time cheered up, there are so many dried corpses in this city, in case they collectively cheat the corpses, then I will really have to braid.
I saw a staircase on the side of the castle tower leading directly into the city, but I didn't think about taking the stairs and jumped straight from the city wall.
My location looked like it was supposed to be a civilian area, surrounded by dilapidated old houses, mostly wooden structures, and there were only a few dried corpses on the street, these dry corpses were dressed in simple and simple clothes, and they looked like ancient civilians.
I came to the front of two dried corpses, one large and one small, these two dried corpses should be a mother and son, the two of them still stood there in the posture they had before they died, the woman was carrying a wooden bamboo basket in one hand, and the other hand was holding her child, as if she was going somewhere.
I shook my head and stopped looking at the mother and son, there were still many dried corpses like this mother and son in this city, and now the biggest question in my mind was what happened at that time, how could so many people suddenly all die?
And the corpse must be changed into a dry corpse in some special environment, from the temperature and humidity and the fungi in the air have reached a wonderful balance, only in this way can the corpse not decompose into a dry corpse, but definitely not here, because I found that the air humidity here is very high, I only stayed here for a short time before the clothes on my body were already soaked, the temperature here is at least twenty-seven or eight degrees, the corpse will quickly decay when exposed to such an environment, but they not only rot but also become a dry corpse, There must be a special reason for this.
There is also a question that so many people died in this city at once, and the resentment here should be very strong, but why can't I feel a little yin here, and I can't even see the shadow of a dirty thing?
Walking along the bluestone streets, the dried corpses on the road gradually increased, all of them remained in the same state as before, some were in a hurry, some were loitering, and there were a variety of tops on both sides of the street, from which it was not difficult to see that this was once a relatively prosperous city, but now it is dead and silent, and there is only the smell of rancid smell in the air.
Then I wandered around the city aimlessly for clues and saw all kinds of dried corpses, but unfortunately I found nothing, and I walked around almost the whole city without finding any clues.
Suddenly, I noticed that there seemed to be a golden light above my head, and then the golden light became more and more dazzling, and finally there was only a piece of gold left in front of my eyes, and I couldn't help but close my eyes, but when I opened my eyes again, I was stunned, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I rubbed my eyes vigorously to make sure they weren't dazzling.
What is going on with the shouting of hawkers, the conversation of pedestrians, and the countless pedestrians walking in the streets?
This dead city was resurrected under the light of that golden light, what was that golden light? I guess that golden light is what the Devil's Garden is looking for and getting, right?
"This son, please let me go." A voice came from behind him.
I looked back and saw an old man dressed as a farmer, pushing a wheelbarrow with a few sacks that looked heavy, and I don't know what it contained.
I hurriedly chased after him, helped the old man take a handle, and walked with the old man to push the cart, and the old man hurriedly said, "I can't help it, don't stain my son's clothes." ”
"If it's out of the way, let me help you ride." I said with a smile.
"Then thank you, Childe." The old man didn't shirk either.
"By the way, old man, I'll ask you about something." I asked.
"Childe, please speak." The old man said.
"I've been traveling and studying abroad, and now I've traveled here, I don't know where this is?" I asked.
"When you see that the prince is dressed up, he is not a local, this city is Yuening City under the rule of King Qin." The old man laughed.
King Qin? Could it be Qin Shi Huang? Is this an ancient city during the Qin Dynasty? It seems that at this time, Qin Shi Huang had not yet destroyed the Six Kingdoms and became emperors.
I sent the old man home, the old man had to enthusiastically pull me into the house to rest and drink saliva, I did not refuse to follow into the house, although the old man's house can not be said to be four walls but almost the same.
The old man poured me a glass of water with a wooden cup and sat opposite me, I looked at the luck on the old man's head and couldn't help but sigh, he had no luck on the top of his head, which showed that the old man had actually died a long time ago, just like the people in this city, but was resurrected by the golden light.
From chatting with the old man, I learned that his wife passed away a few years ago, and he has a daughter who is now married, and her husband's family is not in the local area, and the daughter can come back to visit him every year.
"Old man, has there been anything new in the city lately?" I asked.
"There's nothing new, but there's something weird." The old man thought for a moment and replied.
"Tell me about it." I was immediately interested.
"In the middle of last month, the weather was hot and muggy, and suddenly the wind was fierce, lightning and thunder, and the sky was full of dark clouds, and it is said that someone saw a black dragon rolling in the dark clouds, but I don't know if it's true." The old man said.
Black Dragon? Do dragons really exist? But when I think about it, I'm relieved, I didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world, but ghosts do exist, and since ghosts exist, I think those mythical and legendary species should also be real, right? Can an ancestor put a non-existent animal in the zodiac? Dragons are supposed to exist, but they have become extinct over time.
Didn't Bubbles say she wanted to turn into a dragon? It's just that this guy has been hiding in my sea of luck since the battle with the crows, and I don't know what happened to her when I called her to ignore me.
When I wanted to ask the old man if there was anything else strange, the old man's eyes suddenly became dull, and his body was still now, and then I was horrified to find that the old man's body was quickly dehydrated and withered, and after a few breaths, the old man became a dry corpse.
What's going on? I quickly rushed out of the house and found that all the pedestrians on the street had turned into dried corpses at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, I noticed a small cloud of red liquid on each of the dried corpses, and before I could figure out what it was, the cloud of red liquid quickly flew away, and all the red liquid flew to one place, and I immediately followed without the slightest hesitation.
