The reaction of the two was too exaggerated, Yin Xi turned his head sideways and looked at Zhu Beichen, and his moist eyes seemed to ask: These two guys are your friends, why don't you know anything?

Yin Xi explained: "I can't tell how big the outer city is, but in recent years, we have rarely gone out of the outer city. According to my father, the silence in the outer city has been going on for years, and it is very dangerous, and we would not normally come to the outer city. ”

In Yinxi's description, the size of the outer city is difficult to measure, and the sand-buried ancient city is divided into two cities, the inner and outer cities, and the outer periphery of the ancient city was abandoned to the extreme for some reason many years ago. On weekdays, only the evacuated buildings remain in the outer city, and the streets are filled with groups of lonely ghosts, and from time to time there will be smoke and fog in the outer city.

In recent decades, there have been several outsiders who have broken into the outskirts of the ancient city, all of whom have died in danger in the outer city, and are called members of the wandering souls. The inner city has become a small independent country, and the prosperity is very different from the outer city, and there is a huge bronze gate at the junction of the inner and outer cities. However, the gate is closed all year round, in order to prevent objects from the outer city from entering the inner city.

Yin Xi suggested that the three of them hide in the mansion for the time being, because the frequency of the Yin soldiers outside the door passing through is uncertain, and there may be waves passing through them.

Yin Xi said: "These styles of ancient houses were rebuilt by us later, and the paint on the doors and walls is made of a mixture of oil, which emits a special smell to block unclean things, and those runes are carved by the wizards of our clan. Sometimes we need to travel to the outer city, and if we encounter danger, we can hide in this kind of house, where we are absolutely safe. ”

The pure white mopping smoke dragon plum blossom white water group rolled the ground and dragged it, the sound of the figure was slender, walking towards the gate of the ancient house building with elegant steps, and the slender fingers gently pushed the gate of the ancient house, and the door opened in response.

The oil lamps are carefully lit by Yinxi, and the interior of the bright old house is presented in front of you, and the walls are painted red, and even the floor is covered with red makeup, making people feel uncomfortable every step of the way.

"Wherever there is a perennial stock of things and water in such places, you can get them for yourselves if you are hungry." Yin Xi pointed to the corner of the empty inner room, and sure enough, there were a few small cloth bags, as well as a clay pot for storing water.

The three of them whispered to each other, ran to the corner without saying a word, opened the cloth bag pocket, and saw that there were pieces of cake-shaped dry food inside. When you open the lid of the clay pot, the enticing aroma of wine comes to your nose. The three of them, who hadn't eaten a bite of food for a long time, suddenly came to their senses, chewing dry flatbread, and drinking two sips of wine from time to time in a clay pot.

Perhaps because they had been hungry for too long, the three of them devoured this simple meal until their bellies were straight.

Yin Xi smiled, the first time he saw such an embarrassed eating, he said with concern: "How is it, is our food delicious?" ”

The fat man wiped the remaining debris from the corners of his mouth, and smiled with satisfaction: "Well, not bad, not bad." This cake tastes so good, what are you made of and how long does it last? ”

When it came to the expiration date, Yin Xi heard this statement for the first time, and he couldn't understand Zhu Beichen for the first time. Zhu Beichen explained awkwardly for a long time and finally let Yin Xi understand, and at the same time secretly said that if the fat man talked nonsense a few more terms, he would have to be busy. The people here have never been in contact with the outside world at all, and they still have to be careful about the wording.

Yin Xi still kept a smile and patiently explained: "Made with the most famous Wuying in our inner city, this insect can be kept for decades without being decomposed after being fried at high temperatures, and is most suitable as food for long-term storage. Very few of us go out, and the bag you eat has a history of more than 20 years. If you drink alcohol, I'm afraid it will take a little longer. ”

Suddenly, the expressions of the three of them stiffened, and the fat man obviously couldn't withstand such a blow, and suddenly burst out: "What, I just ate a whole ten pieces of worms." How do you use such strange ingredients to make food, it's disgusting to me. "As he spoke, he grabbed his throat, not to mention the bread that had been preserved for more than 20 years, and if he wanted to talk about decades of old wine, he still talked about the past, the ingredients, how frustrated this group should have been to store dry food for decades.

"What's the matter, you're talking a lot." Yin Xi glared fiercely at the fat man next to him, and easily swept the fat man's solid thick legs with one kick.

Qijian laughed and said in surprise: "Miss Yinxi's personality is a little similar to Han Qingxin. ”

The voice was very low, so weak that only Zhu Beichen could hear it, and he was also silently sighing for the fat man, no matter where he went, he could hit someone's muzzle.

Whether it was aged food or wine, Zhu Beichen really didn't mind much, and only after the meal was full did he take a sip of the sweet wine with a clay pot.

It was only at this meeting that I had the time to look at the woman in front of me carefully at the lights in the mansion, with beautiful makeup, a touch of powder, delicate and just right facial features, and a little more girlish tenderness.

Yin Xi felt a hot look, and his face flushed when he was looked at, and he stopped torturing the fat man.

Seven interrupted the strange atmosphere at the right time and said, "Miss Yinxi, can you tell us about the inner city, how can we leave here and enter the inner city?" ”

Holding the time of Yin Xi's thinking, Qijian secretly stabbed Zhu Beichen: "This girl's identity is not simple, she is dressed in a brocade robe. ”

I don't know what the words of the seven rooms mean, but after thinking about it, I said that the inner city has become a country of its own, and it just so happens that the hint of the seven rooms does not mean that this woman's status in the inner city will not be low.

Yin Xi thought for a while and flatly refused: "No, you can't follow me into the inner city." No outsiders will be allowed to enter. ”

The biggest purpose of this trip is to explore the secrets of this ancient city, the fat man endured the danger of being bullied and said: "Why, little sister, we just entered the sightseeing tour, and we don't steal or rob, we are all honest people." ”

Yin Xi replied lightly: "If you say no, you can't." There was a complicated expression under the unruly expression, and he was very conflicted in his heart.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward after such a fuss, and it was not easy for them to be strong, thinking that it should be calm down outside the mansion, so he said that he was going to go out and have a look.

The ancient bronze door of the mansion was slowly opened from the inside, and Yin Xi rushed out first, probing his head to check left and right, and only let them out after confirming that there was no danger.

Qijian and Zhu Beichen walked at the end, and Qijian grabbed Zhu Beichen and reminded: "Beichen, listen, this girl's status in the inner city should not be low, we will need him very much in the future, you have to try to please her." ”

"Ahh His instructions are undoubtedly to signal himself to betray his hue in the open and in the dark, "But what if I can't please women?" ”

The fat man turned his head and smiled evilly, gesturing his mouth: We will help you get this girl.

The street in front of the house fell into a dead silence, and the delicate wind chimes hung on the top of the door, and Shichiken walked to the door and hesitated, taking off the wind chimes and holding them in his hands. The surface of the wind chimes shone with a silvery metallic luster, and under the wind chimes hung three skull-shaped bells, which made the kind of soul-stirring ringtone.

Zhu Beichen said: "Is there anything wrong with the wind chimes, the shape looks really chic." ”

The shape of the wind chime is indeed not ordinary, the focus is on the process of the three bells, high-temperature calcination molding, and the outer layer of the skeletal bell is written with the spell of the soul chapter in the number of spells. Seven rooms looked at the other two bells, and the runes were not the same as before, they were a soul-gathering spell and a soul-attracting spell.

He was very surprised, the integrity of these three spells was high, and the effect of the bell was obviously self-evident when the three spells were used together. In connection with the Yin soldier crossing incident that happened just now, all the clues were summed up, and the truth of the facts was reorganized and restored in the minds of the seven rooms: it turned out that the Yin soldiers crossing was all artificial, and I don't know when these bells hanging here took on the role of leading the souls of the dead.

Looking at the inside of the bell, it is a piece of jade impact, and the exquisite setting all shows the ghostly effect of the bell. Seven remember the Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan Tianbao relics recorded, hanging broken jade pieces, every night to hear the sound of broken jade touching, that is, the soul returns. The role of jade in metaphysics is psychic, so it is called psychic jade.

"Silver bell broken jade, this group of wind chimes is used to attract souls." Seven rooms were stunned.

In the deep and quiet night, Shichima's words rippled in their hearts. Zhu Beichen's eyes full of fear looked at the ingeniously designed wind chimes, the wind chimes hung in the hands of the seven rooms, and the "jingle bells" made a crisp sound when they encountered the light wind, and the soul seemed to be disturbed by this kind of ringing sound.

"There are many of them in the outer city, and a group is hung on the door every other distance. The first time I listened to it was a little uncomfortable, but I'm used to it. Yin Xi no longer likes or dislikes this kind of voice, but he is used to it.

Qijian carefully put the wind chimes in his pocket, and Zhu Beichen didn't dare to ask too much about him, he must have saved the wind chimes for his use.

After all, the rest of their days were spent wandering around the dark outer city. They somewhat believed Yin Xi's words, she didn't know the way, there were only four of them walking on the huge street, it was like walking in a dead city, the huge space was endless loneliness, so quiet that it made people's hearts hairy.

But the night always lingers, and the desire for light grows stronger. When it comes to food, there is no need to worry, Yin Xi can always find the kind of dry food that can be stored for decades.

When people are hungry, they don't worry too much about the shelf life of food. During this period, Zhu Beichen knocked on the side and asked Yinxi about some things, including another topic of Zhu Beichen. From her mouth, she learned that Yin Xi and that Zhu Beichen were separated for only one night, and it was at the moment when the Yin Soldier appeared that the two were separated, and she never saw Zhu Beichen until she met them.
