The sun hung high in the sky, the temperature on the surface had reached an unacceptable level, and the corpses scattered all over the ground had already emitted a foul stench under the sun's exposure.

In the middle of the corpse stood a young man in silver armor, his eyes were blank to look at the devastation, I don't know how long later, the young man's eyes began to dizzy, he only felt two lines of slimy things slip from his eye sockets, and then his body fell weakly.

......

In the inn, Ye Qing suddenly opened his eyes, but found that he was covered by a crimson thing, rubbed his eyes, and his hands were covered with blood!

This blood made Ye Qing wake up from his sleepiness in an instant, he quickly rolled down from the bed and walked quickly to the mirror, he looked very terrible in the mirror, with a hideous expression, indifferent eyes, and a blood-ridden ...... Face.

This scene frightened Ye Qing a lot, he hurriedly put his hand into the basin and wanted to pick up the towel to wipe the blood stains clean, but as soon as he picked up the towel, the blood stains on his face had long disappeared......

"Ah Qing, are you up?"

Suddenly, a strong voice came from outside the door.

Open the door, Gao Lie's rough face came into view, it seemed that he had just gotten up, Gao Lie's hair was still a little messy, if he changed into a tattered clothes at this time, no one would suspect that he was a little beggar.

"What's the matter, it's a little too early to go to the City Lord's Mansion now, right?" Ye Qing didn't seem to have slept well last night, and asked with a little sleepiness on his face.

"It's not that we're going, it's that people are already here. Gao Lie said that the expression on his face was also very exciting: "Ouyang Ce, this kid must be used to making waves in this Lingping City, and the innkeeper was so frightened that he didn't even dare to show his head when he saw him enter the door." ”

"Alright, don't gossip about others here, let's go, don't let this city lord wait too long. Ye Qing straightened his clothes and walked downstairs to the lobby.

The hall was empty, only two people were sitting at a table in the middle, one of them was Meng Ran who was walking with Ye Qing, and the other person must be the city lord of Lingping Water City, Ouyang Ce.

"Ouyang City Lord, there is a disappointment. Ye Qing arched his hand and walked over.

"Where is it, but it is troublesome for the little marquis to personally say that I am from a small town far away. Ouyang Ce stood up and greeted him.

The two sat down, and Meng Ran and Gao Lie stood behind Ye Qing with their hands behind their backs.

"Little Hou Ye, there is something special about it, so I will get straight to the point. Ouyang Ce said.

"City Lord Ouyang, please speak. ”

Ouyang Ce nodded and began to say: "A week ago, Ling Ping suddenly came to a group of strangers who claimed to be merchants, but on the third day, one of the five merchants suddenly disappeared, that is, that night, I don't know who sent an envelope in my study, and the envelope contained the waist card I sent to the imperial capital. ”

Ouyang Ce said, Ye Qing also took out a bronze waist card from his body and put it on the table, this waist card is boxy, the front is engraved with the words 'Hewu Tianyuan', and the reverse side should be polished, very bright.

Ye Qing looked at the waist card, and there was no emotion on his face.

This waist card is the personal belongings of his father Ye Feng, Ye Feng has not been heard since he disappeared a month ago, until a few days ago, this waist card was sent to the imperial capital, and there were some clues.

Thinking about it, Ye Qing's hands couldn't help but clench, and his nails were a little embedded in his palms. It wasn't until Meng Ran patted Ye Qingdi on the shoulder from behind that Ye Qing came back to his senses.

"I'm sorry, I'm out of shape. Ye Qing nodded at Ouyang Ce and said, "You go on." ”

Hearing this, Ouyang Ce didn't pay much attention to it and continued: "At first, I didn't connect these two things together, but the night before yesterday, a strange man sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion and told me that he was the fifth person who disappeared, and that he and the other four were not companions, he was kidnapped. He also knew that I had sent the waist card to the imperial capital, and he said that he had something to tell the people from the imperial capital. ”

"Then where is that person now?" Ye Qing asked.

Ouyang Ce shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't know anything about this person except for this matter, so I have been investigating this person continuously for the past three days, but it is too difficult to investigate such a foreigner, I went to ask those merchants, and they were unwilling to reveal it, so I began to investigate the places they have been to these days, and finally I found some clues this morning." ”

"And what did you find?"

"I can't say anything about this thing in three or two sentences, I'll take you to see it and you'll know. After speaking, Ouyang Ce stood up and made a 'please' gesture and said, "Please also ask the little marquis to come with me." ”

......

Half a day later, Ye Qing and the three of them were taken out of the city by Ouyang Ce, and walked to the foot of Fengming Mountain outside the city, and it took everyone a long time to climb to the top of the mountain.

"This Fengming Mountain is not far from the city gate, and after the old man in the city dies, the family will usually bury the old man here. Ouyang Ce said as he led the way.

"That is, the evening before yesterday, a member of the city lord's mansion came to worship on Fengming Mountain, and found someone digging something in front of a grave, because he didn't dare to say anything when he saw four people on the other side, so he secretly ran back to report this matter to me. And judging from the appearance of the four men he described, it is very likely that these four men were the merchants who had entered the city a few days ago. ”

As he spoke, Ouyang Ce stopped and pointed in front of him and said, "This is it." ”

Ouyang Ce stood still, in front of him was an entrance similar to an underground passage, and on both sides of the entrance stood two soldiers guarding, and the soldiers also greeted Ouyang Ce and saluted.

Ye Qing and the three of them stepped forward, and the entrance seemed to have been newly excavated, but if you looked inside, you could find that it was actually made of stone bricks and wooden planks.

"The catacombs?"

Ye Qing was a little curious, because Ouyang Ce had introduced before, most of the dead in Lingping City would be buried in this place, so Ye Qing's first thought was the tomb, but in this world, people are almost worthless when they die, even if they are from the royal family, they will not build tombs so much. And it's clearly been carefully repaired, so who would do such a thing?

"Just go in and have a look. Ouyang Ce said.

Ye Qing stood in front, but seeing that Ouyang Ce had no intention of leading the way at all, he took the lead and walked in.

The light in the passage was a little dim, but fortunately, there were a few fires on the wall, Ye Qing took one off and held it in his hand to illuminate it, and he could barely see the inside clearly.

After walking for a long time, the end of the passage is directly the burial chamber. The burial chamber is not very large, and there is a coffin in the center with the coffin lid lying to the side. And there seemed to be some patterns painted on the ground around the coffin.

Ye Qing wanted to go in and observe, but when he just walked five meters away from the coffin, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his head, and then he lost consciousness directly.

......

When he came back to his senses, Ye Qing was already standing in a barren place, the sun was hanging in the air and recklessly releasing its temperature, Ye Qing only felt like he was in a huge furnace, and at this moment, suddenly two teams of centaurs rushed out from Ye Qing's left and right sides, and the shouts resounded in the sky, in front of these two groups of people, Ye Qing's body was suddenly filled with a sense of powerlessness, and his body became stiff, he desperately wanted to make his body move, but his body didn't listen to the call at all, and could only watch two groups of people rush towards him。

When the two groups of people rushed in front of Ye Qing, they didn't seem to be able to see Ye Qing, and no one paid attention to Ye Qing, and even they couldn't touch Ye Qing at all, so they would pass directly over Ye Qingdi's body.

Despite this, Ye Qing still had no way to drive that sense of powerlessness out of his mind, nor could he control the movement of his body......

The fighting here lasted for a day and a night, and at noon the next day, the last person also fell, and the place returned to silence, and the barren land became Ye Qing alone, Ye Qing stood in the sea of corpses and blood, his consciousness gradually blurred, the sun and the temperature of the ground on the ground began to emit a foul smell, but Ye Qing could no longer smell these smells, the five senses gradually left Ye Qingdi's body, and his body began to weaken, Ye Qing used all his strength to draw out the Chengying Sword and insert it on the ground to support his body, he secretly felt that if he fell to the ground now, everything would be over, but the disappearance of the five senses continued, Finally, Ye Qing's eyes darkened, and he fell down weakly.

......

"A-Qing!

The voices of Gao Lie and Meng Ran sounded in Ye Qing's ears, and he slowly opened his eyes to find that he was lying on the ground, and there was a coffin lid in front of him, and Ye Qing's mind was blank at this time, and he didn't even have an impression of why he was here.

When Ye Qing tried to recall what had happened before, the memory suddenly came back. The moment the memory surfaced, cold sweat oozed directly from Ye Qing's head, and his head was also in pain, and it was this pain that finally made Ye Qing wake up.

Ye Qing held his forehead and stood up and said, "I'm fine." After a pause, Ye Qing opened his mouth and asked, "How long have I been dizzy?"

"You're not dizzy. Gao Lie said, "As soon as you squatted down, you fell directly to the ground, and I went over to help you and you got up." ”

Before Ye Qing could be surprised, Ouyang Ce's voice came: "Little Hou Ye, what did you see?"

Only then did Ye Qing react, this should be what Ouyang Ce said in three or two sentences that was not clear.

"A dream, a dream that has been having it for a long time. Ye Qing said.

The scene Ye Qing saw just now was the dream that had been haunting him all this time, but the dreams he had before were all fragmented pictures, and what he saw just now spliced all those pictures together.

"May I ask City Lord Ouyang, what the hell is this?" Ye Qing asked.

Ouyang Ce shook his head and said, "I don't know, the only thing I know now is that this situation will occur after a distance of about one meter from the discount coffin, and everyone sees different things, it seems that they are all dreams or things that happened before." Anyway, that's why I've been unable to get this coffin out. ”

"So amazing?"

Gao Lie suddenly became interested and walked towards the coffin, as soon as he walked to the edge of the coffin, Gao Lie's whole body suddenly fell down, Ye Qing still wanted to help, but just after taking two steps, Gao Lie suddenly jumped up, and the blood-red Red Flame Mercury Knife was held tightly in his hand, and the internal force was also released without reservation, blowing the withered grass and fallen leaves around him clean.
