Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Graveyard Ghost Domain
After a few days of travel, although they were all riding dragons, a group of people were still tired and miserable.
It's okay for people who are used to being pampered to play like this for a few days, but if they have to walk like this day and night, without end, they really can't stand it, even creatures like Zhuge Qingming and Chu Xuan are tired, not only physically exhausted, but mentally tortured to the point of collapse.
Looking at a group of people, it was Xu Qiu, a mortal, who was in a good mental condition, and even drank and chatted with Chi Yu very happily.
"You're made of iron, aren't you?" Tang Yique looked at Xu Qiu sickly, gritting his teeth with hatred, "I really shouldn't be a person, I was born at the wrong time!" β
"It's that your body is too bad." Xu Qiu laughed and said, "Look at all of you like big girls with fine skin and tender meat, no wonder you can't bear it, it's good to get used to it, I didn't do anything when I was a soldier, what is this bit of suffering, there is food and drink, and there is no need to walk, it is like a fairy!" β
A group of people all looked at Xu Qiu with resentment, and Xu Qiu could still say such things.
"It would be nice if Gu Xi was here, he is better than me." Xu Qiu sighed almost inaudibly, "You said that he was haunted by some resentful spirit, so what's the matter, will we not know each other in the future?" Although he is a stuffy gourd and doesn't like to talk, he is not a bad person, and it would be a pity to have something to blame. β
Several people did not speak, each with their own thoughts.
Tang Yichuan thought of Gu Xi, although there were always traces of Gu Xi left along the way, he didn't know how Gu Xi was in a hurry. They have never been able to catch up with Gu Xi, and they have always kept a distance from Gu Xi.
Originally, I accelerated my walking, but after walking for a few days, I was tired to death, so I had to slow down.
"Hey, what's that?" Luo Luo, the little girl who had been leaning against Chaos, suddenly asked.
"Where?" Tang Yichuan looked in the direction Luo Luo was looking, and saw that there were fluorescent flickers from time to time on the road below where they flew over, and the pieces of fluorescence were like a sea of stars, extremely beautiful.
"It's beautiful." Luo Luo showed a rare smile, her eyebrows curled. It's actually cute.
"It's always easy to deceive people by beautiful looks." The doctor looked at the firefly and raised the scalpel in his hand. Thrown out that way.
Murong Qingshu grabbed the scalpel the moment the scalpel flew out, and stuffed the scalpel back into the doctor's hand: "Don't mess around. β
"Which eye did you see me messing around?" The doctor raised an eyebrow, and the scalpel turned out in his hand.
"If you go out with this knife, won't that thing chase you?" Murong Qingshu snorted. "It's okay for you to die. Don't take the rest of the people with you. β
The doctor was furious. He seemed to be about to make a move towards Murong Qingshu, but Tang Yichuan quickly stopped the doctor and gave Murong Qingshu a look to Murong Qingshu to stop talking. Tang Yichuan knew. Murong Qingshu was a little tired of seeing the doctor collecting this and that along the way, delaying them for a long time, and the anger that he had originally endured broke out because the doctor was now planning to cause trouble again.
But fortunately, Murong Qingshu has always been a good-tempered person, and what he said just now, he calmed down after a while, and he also knew that he didn't need to go to the doctor to find a bad feeling.
"It's going to rain, we need to find a place to shelter." Tang Yichuan looked up at the increasingly gloomy sky, he didn't know how long he hadn't seen the sun, the sky was always black mist, there was no time to clear, and now it was even more dark clouds, and the lightning not far away was dazzling, as if the whole sky was about to crack.
"There's a ghost town up ahead." Chi You, who was fighting with Xu Qiu, said without raising his head.
"The lights are bright, and it seems to be very lively." Xu Qiu's eyes widened.
Tang Yichuan sat on the dragon's head, looked forward, and saw that the front was really a prosperous scene, not only the lights were bright, but even in this position, he could hear the sound of the bustling city, the sound of music, and the sound of people talking.
They have traveled through several large and small cities, but most of them are not so prosperous, except for the city of the dead, most of the places they pass through are rarely alive, there are few people, few living creatures, and most of them are hellish creatures, and all of them are not very good. And here is a lot of singing and dancing.
Could it be that another city of the dead has sprung up?
But Tang Yichuan remembered that this place in Henan Province should not have a second city of the dead, is it because it is close to Beijing, so there will be such a prosperous scene?
Does that prove that things are better for Beijing?
But it is not excluded that there are other reasons, if ghosts and demons dominate the city, it is also very likely to create a prosperous scene.
Several thoughts flashed in his mind, seeing that the rainstorm was about to fall from the sky, Tang Yichuan drove the black dragon to speed up, and they quickly rushed towards the bustling city in front of them.
The rainstorm also fell lifelessly at this time, and the huge raindrops slapped on the body, as if they were cold and ironclad, as if they could hit the flesh and skin of people, because the rapid gallop of the black dragon made the raindrops more painful on the body.
"Slow down, damn it, it hurts, it's raining like hail." Tang Yique cursed.
Tang Yichuan saw Nalan Ning and Fusheng, and the faces of Luo Luo's three children were also pale, and immediately let the black dragon lower his speed, and they were all going to be wet in the rain, so it was better to walk slowly.
Everyone was distraught when the rain hit, the speed of travel was slow, and trouble came, and a big bird in the rear chased after it like a frenzy, hissed, rushed over, and grabbed the tail of the black dragon.
The black dragon flicked his tail and slapped the big bird away, and Chiyu was also a little annoyed by the heavy rain, and he slapped the big bird away with a white face.
Chiyu is not a mortal after all, and with a slap of the face, the huge dinosaur-like bird was directly swept away with a tornado, and only a few feathers fell alone in the wind and rain.
Tang Yichuan saw that there seemed to be something chasing after him, and he accelerated the speed of the black dragon again. The bustling city is just around the corner, and a group of physically and mentally exhausted people feel like they are coming back from the dead when they see the city.
The fox, who had been screaming bitterly for a good meal, and had a good night's sleep, couldn't help but stand on the back of the black dragon with joy, and rushed over to stand side by side with Tang Yichuan on top of the black dragon's head. I can't wait to be in that bustling city at this moment, with delicious food and drink, and warm nephrite jade.
"It's here, it's here, it's finally here!" The fox was excited and grabbed Tang Yichuan's arm. Said excitedly. "Good boy, go down, we're here!"
The fox has no scruples, which does not mean that Tang Yichuan doesn't care about anything. He was still a little worried, and the place might not be as good as they thought.
However, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. They were also exhausted. I had to stop and straighten things out, and more importantly-
"That guy is here, too." Chaos suddenly rose from a calmly seated posture and turned into a human form. Chaos dressed in black exuded an unstoppable momentum, as if he wanted to compete with the aura left behind by Han Qi.
Tang Yichuan also felt the breath of Han Qi, and along the way, he was so familiar with this breath that he couldn't be more familiar.
Moreover, he also felt the breath of that person.
The crystal coffin of the young man he brought out of the Lethe River was still in his consciousness, but the young man was gone, and the young man always gave him a feeling of extreme trepidation.
What the hell is a teenager, and why is it so powerful?
He didn't know.
The most important thing at the moment is to go to Beijing first, Beijing is a place of information, and he believes that many people go to Beijing, and the closer to Beijing, the more prosperous it becomes, which also proves this.
The black dragon fell from the sky, and they landed on a secluded street, and all the people jumped from the black dragon.
"This placeβ"
"That's what it isβ"
Tang Yique, Murong Qingshu, Chu Xuan and the others all frowned, they were looking at the qiΔ things around them, as if they could restore all the qiΔ to their essence and see them clearly.
This is not a bustling city, but an ancient street, full of antique smells, full of red lanterns, not the fire trees and silver flowers of modern society, but like the drunken dreams of ancient times.
But none of this is real, a qiΔ is nothing more than something that confuses people's eyes.
Of course, some people will see it, some people can't see it, not everyone has a pair of yin and yang eyes.
Xu Qiu looked at Tang Yichuan blankly, originally because of his exuberant body, which had disappeared because of a burst of rain, and at this moment, he also looked more depressed than anyone else.
He had already sensed that the expressions of the few immortal grandfathers in front of him were wrong.
I have met so many strange hell creatures on the way, earthworms as big as dragons, lynx demons with lightning speeds, weasel monsters who are not afraid of death, all of them are powerful, and I don't know how much the gods in their group react.
On the contrary, in this prosperous ancient city with brilliant lights and beauty, which makes people want to sing every night, these people's faces have become so ugly, and there are ghosts if there is no problem.
"Tang Daxian, your expression is wrong, what's the matter?" Xu Qiu shrugged Tang Yichuan with his arm.
"Ghost town. A real ghost town. Tang Yichuan said, "We stepped into the ghost domain with one foot. β
"What do you mean, I don't understand the ghosts, can you say it clearly?" Xu Qiu tensed his face, and always felt that it was nothing good when he encountered a ghost word.
"He's saying that we're stepping on someone's grave, it's not a city at all, it's a graveyard full of graves!" Tang Yique's face is not very good-looking, if he was not afraid of these before, but he is a person now, people have to be born, old, sick and die, and people will instinctively feel that ghosts make people shudder.
It's so angry when you think about it, it's really a wretch!
"Graveyard?" Xu Qiu rolled his eyes, he was not afraid of the cemetery, when he was a soldier before, the water came and went, and it was not uncommon for people to crawl around on their graves, what happened to stepping on the graves, he was still sleeping on the graves of others.
But where does this look like a cemetery?
Without waiting for Xu Qiu to react, Tang Yichuan sprayed something in front of Xu Qiu's eyes, Xu Qiu felt that the light and shadow in front of him flickered, and then he really saw it.
The prosperity just now is gone, replaced by undulating graves, and all kinds of people will not know how many bones are buried. There is no end in sight at a glance.
And the houses were all turned into paper buildings, the wind was blowing, and some of the tattered wreaths made a rustling sound......
"......" the corners of Xu Qiu's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say.
"I see." The doctor seemed to have just reacted, "I don't think it matters if it's a ghost domain, the important thing is to eat and drink, let's find a place to rest first." β
The rain was still falling, and everyone was soaking wet and sticky.
Tang Yichuan nodded, he had already discovered just now, and there were living people in this place. This proves a point. The demons and monsters here should live in harmony with people, just like in the city of the dead, there must be gods and men here.
As long as you don't look through the eyes of yin and yang, you can't see any graves. What you see is still a bustling city.
I just know what's going on here. But you still have to think of this place as a normal bustling city. That's a little bit of a diaphragm in my heart.
A group of people had nothing to say, everyone looked at Tang Yichuan, and they habitually let Tang Yichuan take the idea. Tang Yichuan said: "Let's take a look." β
Tang Yichuan took the lead and walked towards the more lively and bustling street in front, and several people behind him followed him, and Chiyu and Chaos did not express their opinions, and slowly walked forward with the crowd.
Xu Qiu was full of curiosity about this place, the rain had washed away all the spray on his face, so now it was still very prosperous, and the bleak cemetery just now seemed to have never appeared.
"Are there all ghosts here?" Xu Qiu asked as he walked, "Tang Daxian, will we be besieged by a large wave of ghosts?" β
"I don't know." Tang Yichuan said without replying, he didn't know what the situation was here, and he needed to understand it a little.
After walking a few steps, Tang Yichuan seemed to remember something, and suddenly stopped, he took out the ghost order and summoned the nearby ghosts.
Because the ghost order could not summon the ghosts with yin and evil qi on his body, Tang Yichuan expanded the scope a little, worried that most of the ghosts here were full of yin and evil qi.
As a result, hundreds of ghosts were summoned to surround them.
Xu Qiu still had some potions left in his eyes, and when he saw these ghosts, he suddenly screamed, ", I'm really besieged by ghosts!" I'm not going to clean up the hell! β
Tang Yichuan: "......"
After sending most of the ghosts away, Tang Yichuan left three ghosts.
A young female ghost, who looks like she was supposed to be a prostitute when she was alive, wears fancy clothes, and her breasts are exposed.
The second was an old man, a hunchbacked old man, trembling and trembling.
The third is just a child, a seven or eight-year-old child, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, very cute, blinking and looking at Tang Yichuan playfully with big eyes.
The first to speak was not Tang Yichuan or the other two ghosts, but this little ghost, who looked very small with a ruffian on his body, and looked at Tang Yichuan with a hint of inexplicable sarcasm in his eyes, "If you have something to say, let it go quickly, the master is very busy - the master hates to be accused of being accused the most!" β
ββ¦β¦ What's going on in the city? Tang Yichuan glanced at the little ghost, and then looked at the two ghosts.
The old man still hung his head and looked at his toes in a daze, the prostitute had boldly approached the fox's side, and the fox's beautiful face attracted her, and half of her body hung on the fox.
The fox had obviously not touched a woman for a long time, and when he touched a woman, whether it was a prostitute or a ghost, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he screamed one baby after another.
Tang Yichuan had completely lost his temper with the fox, and after lifting the fox away from the prostitute, he slowly said, "Don't see a mother and make spring." β
"If you don't see the mother's spring, can you still see the father's spring?" The fox paused and pinched his chin, "It seems that the male can also ...... Although the mother tastes better. β
"......" Tang Yichuan pulled the prostitute to the front, looked at the three ghosts in front of him and said, "Tell me about the situation in the city, I see the coexistence of people and ghosts, it seems that there are a lot of monsters, isn't this a ghost domain?" β
"It's a ghost domain, yes, but no one says that it can't coexist, it's just a change of master. In the past, in the city, you humans were the bosses, higher than a qiΔ creature, but there were also demons and monsters who would mix in and live in the crowd. And here, we ghosts are the masters, and monsters or people are equivalent to you as ghosts and animals to us. Is there anything strange about it? The little ghost said neatly. There was a hint of mockery in his eyes, "Didn't you expect that human beings would have such a day?" β
"You used to be human, too." Tang Yichuan frowned.
"It's not that I used to be human, but I'm dead now, and I've been dead for decades." The imp sneered, "I was almost distracted by you self-proclaimed righteous exorcists." β
Tang Yichuan didn't have the heart to listen to the little ghost talk about his grievances in the past, he glanced at the other two ghosts, "What do you need to pay attention to when entering the city?" β
The prostitute giggled twice and flew a kiss towards Tang Yichuan, "Handsome guy." Go to my Spring Tower. I'll tell you what you want to know about the qiΔ. β
"Speak well, behave!" Tang Yichuan said sharply, and he raised the ghost order in his hand.
The prostitute ghost glared at Tang Yichuan sadly: "If you go to Yingchun Tower, you will know everything - it's nothing special, it's similar to your human city." Just like the little ghost said. It's just that the owner has changed to a ghost. Humans and monsters don't live as well as our ghosts. Oh, and also, we use the Pluto as the currency here. β
"There are a lot of people here who should not be offended. If you want to enter, you must first register and get a license. The ghost old man with his head bowed also spoke.
Tang Yichuan nodded. The imp said, "You know everything you should know, I can go, right?" β
After saying that, the little ghost left without looking back.
Tang Yichuan didn't stop him, put away the ghost order, and waved his hand to signal that the prostitute and the old ghost could also leave.
The old ghost limped and disappeared in the rain, but the prostitute didn't leave, smiling and seducing people, grabbing the fox's arm for a while, sticking to Chu Xuan's side for a while, turning around and already full of interest in the doctor's golden hair, touching other people's chests, trying to seduce people.
The doctor's eyes were horizontal, and the cold light of the scalpel flickered on the female ghost's neck, and the female ghost suddenly shuddered.
"Take your hands away, the prostitute is dirty!" The doctor said coldly, a chill made the female ghost tremble and let go of the doctor, and suddenly, the ghost shadow was not seen.
"Where is it registered?" Tang Yichuan hurriedly shouted.
"Turn left ahead, the old immortal on the corner of the street is there!" The voice of the female ghost came slowly, "A few big immortals, the little woman has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, you still don't come to Yingchun Tower, Yingchun Tower Temple is too small to accommodate the Big Buddha!" β
It's no wonder that this female ghost is clumsy, Tang Yichuan and the others are not showing their eyes, plus the aura of this ghost domain is a little disordered, it is not strange that the female ghost can't see what the identity of a few people is, when she saw the doctor, the female ghost was completely sober, and she knew that she had provoked someone who should not be provoked.
It's no wonder that some of them can summon so many ghosts with the Ghost Order.
There are many powerful ghosts, but the demons and monsters are all accounted for, and they are all powerful, and she is the first time she has seen them, so of course this female ghost doesn't want to get into any trouble.
Tang Yichuan sighed, took a few steps forward with a group of people, turned the corner, and sure enough, a checkpoint appeared in front of him, with a few ghosts guarding the door, and when he saw Tang Yichuan and a few people, he directly stopped people.
"Stop, where did you come from, what are you doing, are they all people, ghosts or demons?" A ghost guard shouted with a head and face.
"Those who came in front of them, those who passed by, and there are people who have demons." Tang Yichuan said.
"Go up and register first." The ghost guard said fiercely.
Tang Yichuan took out a few dark coins from his pocket and handed them to the ghost guard in front of him, glad that Bai Yi Su left such a little thing on him at the beginning, Bai Yi Su was prescient, she thought it was possible to use it, but she didn't want to leave it to the place where it is really useful now.
The guard accepted the dark coin, his dark face suddenly looked good, his eyebrows smiled, and his tone improved a lot, "Brother, it's not easy to look at, I really didn't look away." If there's anything you want to ask, just ask. β
Tang Yichuan felt that there was something in the words of those ghosts just now, and he was worried that he would enter the city and cause trouble, so he asked the guards a few more words.
Sure enough, the guard said something that Tang Yichuan didn't know very well.
Although there are ghosts and demons in this city, they don't get along well, saying that the ghost is the master, but there are a few masters in the human race who have pressed the ghost, and the demon also has a thousand-year-old demon.
The three forces have their own side, go to the wrong place, stand on the wrong side, and are easy to get into trouble.
"Then according to the little brother, which side should we stand on?" Tang Yichuan asked in a low voice.
"Your strength is extraordinary, and I can't say it." The ghost guard smiled, "But I can recommend a place, Ruyi Fang." β
"Ruyi Fang?"
"A restaurant, where the proprietress has everything around her, her power is enough to compete with the three forces, but she never participates in disputes, one person occupies a corner, and she does not quarrel or make trouble." The Ghost Guard said meaningfully. (To be continued......)
