Chapter Eighty-Four: Departure

The night was deep, the wind was blowing, the clouds were shuttling back and forth under the moon, the light that sprinkled on the earth became bright and dark, and the cold evening wind blew the trees, and from time to time made a "rustling" sound.

The shadows of the trees swayed back and forth on the ground, and the reflections of some branches looked like the claws of powerful ghosts, looking eerie and terrifying, and the neighbors were creepy.

Zi Yan, Yalu, Yue Yao and Shui Lingzi sat quietly in a circle, surrounding Mu Mu, who still hadn't woken up, and the big guy peeked at the city from time to time, flickering in the moonlight.

Xiao Yueyao snuggled up to Zi Yan, rubbed Zi Yan's arm, and asked softly, "Sister, when did you say that my brother will wake up!"

Zi Yan glanced at Mu Mu, who was still asleep, and shook her head gently.

A cool breeze blew from the jungle, causing everyone to shiver when they sat down again.

"Sister, I'm a little cold," Xiao Yueyao shrunk her neck and said softly.

Zi Yan stretched out her arms and rubbed Yue Yao, lowered her head and kissed Yue Yao's head, and said softly, "I'm not afraid of my sister." ”

Yue Yao raised her head to look at Zi Yan, tapped the goose's head, and rubbed Zi Yan's thin waist with both hands, as if she had found a sense of security that she had not felt for a long time.

Zi Yan's hand was behind her back, her index finger was clasped on her middle finger, but her fingertips were trembling.

Shui Lingzi's gaze moved away from Zi Yan and Yueyao, looked at Yalu who was clenching her knees on the side, and asked, "Sister Yalu, are you afraid?"

Yalu immediately nodded, shook her head as if she felt something was wrong, and asked rhetorically, "Are you afraid?"

Shui Lingzi suddenly stood up and roared loudly: "Don't be afraid, the master and his old man said that there are three fires on the man's head, and any demons and monsters must be avoided, so I'm not afraid, I'm a man, how could I be afraid......"

Suddenly, a night owl's cry came from the woods, "Ah" A terrible scream, the startled three little girls trembled, hugged each other in horror, and the frightened Shui Lingzi couldn't stand anymore, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, trembling.

The nightingale's cry wandered through the bushes, and the sound came and went abruptly, and after a few creepy exclamations, the nightingale's cry disappeared.

......

"Hmm, my head hurts, what's wrong with you" Mu Mu slowly opened his eyelids, stroked his forehead with one hand, slowly sat up straight, and looked at the friends around him in surprise.

"Mu Mu, you're finally awake" Zi Yan hugged Mu Mu, hugged it very tightly, and along with other people, she was also implicated.

Yalu hugged Mu Mu's arm tightly, Xiao Yueyao was squeezed in the middle by the three of them, and the four of them hugged each other.

Mu Mu hadn't figured out what the situation was, so he quickly patted Zi Yan's sobbing back and asked, "What's going on, I just fainted for a while, and it's not a big deal." ”

Zi Yan suddenly sat up straight, her eyes fixed on Mu Mu, and said, "Mu Mu, do you know what time it is?"

Mu Mu looked up at the sky in surprise when he heard this, and a half moon shone in the sky, exuding a halo above his head.

"This, won't it be the time to go, the head is ......" Mu Mu's eyes flashed a trace of shock, glanced up at the sky, immediately lowered his head, held his head with both hands, and his whole face was tangled together.

Yalu raised her head and asked with concern: "It's Zishi, we thought you couldn't wake up, we were so scared, why did your head hurt?"

Zi Yan's eyes glanced at Yalu, but she didn't say anything.

Mu Mu's fingers kept pinching his temples, hammered the top of his head a few times, shook his neck, and nodded slowly.

"Does it matter? Otherwise, I'll help you massage it" Zi Yan knelt and sat up straight, stretched out her hand to help Mu Mu relieve the pain, Mu Mu waved her hand, and said stubbornly: "Don't get in the way, small problems, it'll be fine later." ”

Mu Mu rubbed his temples vigorously and patted his braincase, and after a while......

"By the way, why don't you go into the city, why are you staying here? The wind is so strong, what if you get sick?" Mu Mu asked as he looked at everyone puzzled.

Shui Lingzi hurriedly replied: "Brother Mu Mu, it's not that you don't want to enter the city, but you don't dare to go in, because the name of this city is too evil, and you haven't woken up, and none of us are in charge, who dares to enter the city recklessly, in case ......"

"Hey, it seems that I have caused everyone to be troubled, by the way, you said that the name of this city is evil, how evil is it?" Mu Mu sighed, suppressed the stinging pain in his head from time to time, and asked casually.

Zi Yan, Yalu and Xiao Yueyao, you look at me, I look at you, they all looked at each other, and did not speak, with an unspeakable and weak appearance, Shui Lingzi looked at their hesitant appearance, and couldn't help it, and shouted word by word: "You ghost city." ”

"It's a bit like that, what? You say it again, say it carefully," Mu Mu suddenly screamed.

Mu Mu's scream startled Shui Lingzi, Shui Lingzi was stunned for a moment, and quickly repeated it again, saying, "You ghost city." ”

Mu Mu heard it clearly this time, got up from the ground with a grunt, and looked at the city in front of him that looked particularly eerie in the moonlight, with a trace of coldness in his eyes.

"Is this city Ziyan the one from a thousand years ago?" Mu Mu stared at the ancient city with his eyes and asked loudly.

Zi Yan then stood up, nodded, and said, "It shouldn't be wrong to think about it." ”

Yalu also stood up straight, and said quickly: "Mu Mu, I have read many ancient books, some of which mention this ancient city, according to legend, the spiritual explosion that happened thousands of years ago occurred in this city, and since the spiritual explosion occurred, there have been many supernatural events in the city, each of which is creepy and terrifying, I think, we should not go in, we can pass by bypassing it-"

"No, I have to go in"

Mu Mu suddenly interrupted Yalu's words and said categorically.

Yalu looked at Mu Mu, who was standing as straight as a javelin, and was stunned.

"Zi Yan, you wait here, I'll come when I go" Mu Mu turned around and confessed, and was about to walk towards the ancient city.

Zi Yan grabbed Mu and shouted, "I understand your mood, don't leave me, I'm going too." ”

Mu Mu glanced back at Zi Yan, Zi Yan's glittering eyes stared at Mu Mu, and there was a determined look in her eyes.

"Okay! you can come along, but be careful" Mu Mu didn't say anything more, grabbed Zi Yan's little hand with his backhand, and the two of them joined forces.

Yalu glanced at the two of them, then at the ancient city, bit her lip lightly, and stomped her foot resentfully, hesitating.

"Brother, I'll follow you wherever you go" Xiao Yueyao ran over without hesitation, Mu Mu glanced back, smiled, and stopped waiting for Yueyao's arrival.

Shui Lingzi didn't hesitate this time, and hurried to catch up with Yueyao and walk side by side with her, the two little guys glanced at each other deeply, and their eyes narrowed into a slit and smiled.

Mu Mu stopped at this time, glanced back at Yalu, who was still hesitating, and said with a smile: "Yalu, you are waiting here, we will come when we go." ”

Yalu looked at Mu Mu's affectionate smile, and suddenly frowned, as if she felt that Mu Mu was deliberately alienating herself, or looking down on herself, a kind of self-esteem and inferiority complex constantly making trouble.

An invisible force forced her to step forward and said loudly, "No, we are all good friends, I will go with you." ”

Mu Mu looked at Yalu who was rushing quickly, and was also taken aback, but quickly showed a smile, nodded, took Zi Yan's little hand, and walked towards the ancient city at high speed.

Under the flickering moonlight, a group of people around the towering city wall towards the city gate, the ancient city wall is made of huge green bricks, the green bricks are covered with layers of thick moss, has long lost its original appearance, but this majestic and magnificent silhouette is still, let people look at it and give birth to a kind of simple vicissitudes.

A few ancient trees growing at the foot of the skirt of the wall sparsely fell on both sides of the road, and for some reason the ancient trees had already died, leaving only dry branches, bare and not sticking to a single branch or leaf.

Under the moonlight, the shadows of dead wood pulled and shone on the city wall, and terrifying figures immediately appeared, and one or two night owl cries would be heard from time to time in the distant jungle, rendering the environment even more permeable.

Mu Mu walked fearlessly at night, looking straight at the towering city with his eyes, there was no trace of fear in his eyes, and some were just endless longing.

"Mu Mu, don't worry, it doesn't matter if Grandpa Shuo Chang isn't here, we have time, we will definitely be able to find him" Zi Yan whispered comforting Mu Mu.

Mu Mu said without looking back: "For some reason, I have a strange feeling that my grandfather seems to be in the city." ”

"Huh?" Zi Yan let out a soft voice, but did not speak, tears welled up in her eyes, and her eyes became blurry.

"Look, everyone, city gates, city gates," Yue Yao suddenly shouted.

"Ahh
