Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Fog in North City

I pushed the apparently re-reinforced wooden lid in front of me and pushed it away with a little force.

There was a great stench in my nose, the hay fell on me, and with a few leisurely horses' hooves, a 'curious', 'huge' horse face appeared in front of my eyes.

There was no one around, and as Zhao Yinuo said, the end of this tunnel was extremely safe.

Compared to other places, there were only three or two torches burning, and it was even darker.

This is a stable in the West Market, where every horse is worth a lot of rent and is the only 'means of transportation' in the inner city, but it is extremely difficult to get them down and keep them in such a dark environment.

I heard that the horses here are 'rotated', and they will work here for about half a month, and then they will be replaced.

I pushed away the curious face of the horse in front of me with a little crying and laughing, I guess it would never have imagined that someone would pop up in the open space behind its buttocks.

Pushed away by me, the good-natured horse snorted twice in dissatisfaction, and countless spittle sneered onto my mask.

I didn't bother with it, I rolled over, got up from the tunnel, and then surveyed my surroundings, and then climbed out of the stable and left the place.

The location of this stable is on the edge of the West Market.

Turning two alleys, you can go to the avenue where there are usually few people and few ghosts, which is a real public area, and no force is allowed to occupy it, and in fact, there is very little movement and communication between the four cities, especially the North City and the East City.

There are almost no visitors to the West Market.

I thought as I ran quickly towards the exit of the stable, according to Zhao Yinuo, this is his territory, his people, and there is no need to worry about any danger and the possibility of being betrayed.

Sure enough, there were a few people guarding the exit, watching them emerge from the stables inexplicably, as if they hadn't seen them.

Only one of the older wardens stopped me and silently handed me a strong-looking yellow-maned horse.

I took it wordlessly, turned over and threw away the mask that had been 'destroyed' by the horse just now, pulled up the hat of the cloak, raised the whip directly, released the reins in my hand, and the horse rushed towards Beishi like an arrow from the string.

The wind lifted my cloak, still piercing the coldness of the soul.

The quiet streets, the burning torches, the silent buildings on both sides of the street, and the sound of horses' hooves alone make me feel desolate and lonely, and I don't know if I can return smoothly.

I try not to think about these more negative things.

In this kind of place full of yin energy, any negative feelings will be infinitely magnified if they are not careful, and people will not be able to extricate themselves from it.

I can only desperately think about that map, I was about to leave Qian Zhao Yinuo spread on the ground, let me memorize the map on the red line in Beishi.

"Even if you forget who you are, you can't forget the routes marked by these red lines. It is the fastest and safest route to get out of North City. This is the greatest help I can give you, for personal reasons, I basically won't leave here, at most I can only be active in the West Market. ”

This is what Zhao Yinuo said to me, and he seems to be very sorry for not being able to accompany me to pick the Thousand Soul Flower.

But I don't think it's anything, it was my responsibility to pick the Thousand Soul Flowers, not his.

Before leaving, I asked him, "Before me, there were people who went to pick the Thousand Soul Flowers, and they all died?" ”

"There were three people before you, and two ran away at the end of the day. The remaining one, in the first street of North City, was forcibly occupied by a ghost, and his soul was left in North City. My men went to retrieve his body and save his soul in North City. Then he dragged people out and gave him a place to settle for peace and transcendence. Zhao Yinuo said very calmly, and when he said this, he also paused a little and continued: "So, you don't have to worry about the result being bad, at least I will do my best to give you a final peace of mind." ”

"Did you give him this roadmap?" That's my last question.

"Yes, it is said that he can at least rush to the edge of the city, but he was unlucky, and met a ghost king who was in a bad mood there. And the yang body is something that all the ghosts out there covet, you know. "Zhao Yinuo knows everything, and he tells me everything.

I nodded and turned to leave.

A sentence of bad luck, that is, helplessness, and cruelty, but it is still reality, but I can't see it completely, and when I go down to the tunnel, I can't help but ask: "Compared to me, how is his strength?" ”

"An old cultivator with a little fame, his lifespan is approaching, and he has reached a condition with the beast elder to have this adventure. Compared to him, you are in a state of trauma, and it can be said that you have no strength. ”

"Huh." I couldn't help but laugh when I thought of this. The wind blowing across his face seemed to be a little colder.

I don't have the strength, but I have to pick the Thousand Soul Flowers, this is my fate, to put it bluntly, as Zhao Yinuo said, fate is my choice.

I can't figure out whether this choice is a good deal. As I know, Ye Zhengling's sorrow lies in the fact that if you don't have to fight with your life, I'm afraid that you won't have the slightest chance just like thousands of ordinary people, who want to go to a higher level, and when they are empty-handed, they can only fight with their lives.

Even though our goals are not the same, I have chosen more of the responsibilities that I should bear.

In the midst of my thoughts, I have already ridden to the North City.

Before entering the city, over the dark city, I saw a black flag fluttering, with a big north character written on it, and below the north, an X mark was drawn, which was a simple indication of danger. Remind those who may make a mistake not to approach this area lightly.

The entire North City was shrouded in a thick fog. And the fog doesn't seem to flow, just like a thick veil that envelops Beishi.

When the horse reached the edge of these fogs, it refused to go any further, and it was impossible for me to ride a horse forward, and to ride such a bloody horse through the North City was almost an act of seeking death.

Looking at the North City in front of me, I took a deep breath, then turned over and dismounted.

Patting the horse's neck, the horse neighed, and ran towards the road from which he had come to look at the horse's back, and I inevitably felt a sense of loneliness in my heart, and I was alone again.

It seems that the yin qi here is much heavier than that of the West Market, and before entering the market, it has been affected by such a heavy negative situation.

Gritting my teeth, I forcibly turned my head, pulled the hat of the cloak, forced myself not to think about it, recognized the third alley in Beishi, and then walked into it without hesitation.

"When you go to North City, you must not provoke any ghosts. But if it is provoked, it must be killed immediately by means of thunder. ”

Thinking of Zhao Yinuo's words in my heart, one foot had already stepped into the mist.

Everyone was telling me that North City was dangerous, but no one ever told me how dangerous North City really was.

"If the scene in front of you can no longer maintain the 'authenticity', then turn around and leave immediately, do not hesitate."

At this time, I finally walked through the fog, and Zhao Yinuo's last reminder to me also appeared in my heart.

The so-called authenticity refers to the fact that according to the perspective of human beings, if the real world has lost its 'authenticity', in Taoist terms, it is confused, or the will has been invaded, and a quick retreat is naturally the last choice.

The fog in front of me was very thick, but when I looked back behind me, I couldn't see any way back, and even the way I came was gone.

I didn't plan to turn back, gritted my teeth and walked through it, but I didn't expect that it was only two or three steps away, and suddenly there was a 'boom' in front of me, and the fog in front of me was blown away, leaving only a faint mist flowing.

The alleyways of North City finally appeared in front of my eyes.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and was immediately blown away by what I saw!

Ghosts, densely packed with ghosts, in this alleyway of low and crowded houses, almost every one or two steps, is a ghost.

My scalp exploded, and although I was mentally prepared, my heart couldn't help beating violently when I saw so many ghosts, except that their faces were a little paler, they were no different from the way they were alive, and they were wearing typical Qin Dynasty clothes, but in terms of style and texture, they should be poor people.

The faces of these ghosts all showed a kind of confusion and sadness.

It's more of an unspeakable despair.

They walked through the alleys, and every now and then there would be a fight with each other, but over the low houses.

People are dead, what's the use of fighting for a house?

I don't know about Beishi, and Zhao Yinuo was originally going to tell me in detail, among the entire inner market, the one who knows Beishi the most is probably him.

But in the end, he didn't say anything, but just sighed and said to me, "Instead of knowing this, write down the route I have drawn for you." Knowing too much and being afraid is not a good thing. ”

I tried my best to calm my heartbeat, and I couldn't let my blood run too vigorously here, so if I could walk, I didn't choose to run.

Here, all the emotions of a qiē should not be too excited, and if you can be calm and indifferent, you should not be excited.

Because whether it is the vigorous flow of blood and qi, or the excitement of emotion, it will make the heart beat faster and the body heated, so that the 'human taste' will be heavy!

Once I was discovered, looking at the dense ghosts in front of me, I understood Zhao Yinuo's words.

The consequences are terrible!
