In the early morning of the next day, the group rushed to the ancient city.

For a long time, Ling Yan looked at the increasingly desolate landscape and said impatiently: "Is this the road in the end, it can't be wrong, right?" ”

Sun Lang said: "We all follow what the guide says, and we can't be wrong." ”

Ling Yan whipped the weeds on the side of the road with the branches he picked up from the roadside as he walked, and after a few complaints, he stopped talking. ”

As the road beneath our feet became more and more rugged, beside the road, in addition to the unkempt weeds, there were many low bushes and tall cypresses, the lush foliage of the trees did not reveal a trace of light, and the breeze blew with a rustling sound, like a whisper of a man, or a strange laugh that made people shudder.

"It's so strange here......" Ling Yan rubbed his arms.

Chi Yuan, who had been silent all the way, spoke a little heavily: "Strange means that we have come to the right place." ”

Sun Lang grabbed Ling Yan's shoulder, "The little lady won't be afraid, right?" ”

Ling Yan slapped his hand away and gave him a vicious kick and jumped away, "No, don't touch me with your dirty hands, disciple!" ”

The two began to fight again, but the atmosphere was eased a little.

"It's foggy." I don't know when a thin mist seeped through the woods.

"Everyone go faster, and after a while the fog is thick and you can't see the road." Chi Yuan urged everyone.

"Wait." Ling Yan pulled out a red rope and tied it to the branch on the side, "Make a mark, so as not to get lost." ”

Chi Yuan nodded, "That's fine, let's go." ”

A few people quickened their pace, went around and around, and the conspicuous red rope tied to the branches came into everyone's eyes again.

"Why did you come back again, it's been three times!" Ling Yan tore off the red rope and threw it on the ground and stepped on it a few times, "If you don't go, you won't go, you're tired to death." ”

"Hey, hey—" Sun Lang grabbed Ling Yan and picked up the red rope, "Don't be angry, it's not the fault of this rope." Then he blew the dust and put it in his sleeve.

Chi Yuan pondered for a long time, and suddenly snatched the branch from Ling Yan's hand, "Everyone look for something to blindfold and take me one by one." ”

Although the three had doubts, they did so. Chi Yuan closed his eyes and explored the way with a tree branch, and led the three of them to move forward cautiously.

Xiao Yuan's hand tugging on Chi Yuan's sleeve tightened, "Do you know something?" ”

Chi Yuan said: "Seeing is illusion, and hearing is false." No matter what you hear or what you encounter for a while, you can't let go, hold on to each other and don't get separated! ”

After walking for a while, a sound similar to a quarrel sounded in the ears of the four of them. First faint, then more intense, and even some heart-rending cries. Later, the crying became more and more terrible, as if all ghosts were grieving together. Suddenly, something screamed past the four of them, and some of them crashed into them and screamed.

Ling Yan was so frightened that he screamed, but he also listened to Chi Yuan's words and didn't dare to let go of his hand. Those things hurt when they hit his body, and Ling Yan shouted: "Go away, go away, something!" ”

After a long time, those things gradually disappeared, and the strange sounds disappeared.

Chi Yuan opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, it's here." ”

Removing the strip of cloth that covered their eyes, the three of them saw the city gate. As rumored had been, there were many motionless people lying at the gates.

Chi Yuan walked to the side of the person, squatted down and put his two fingers on the tip of the person's nose and probed, "This person still has a snort, and he is not dead, it is more like a ...... Fell asleep. ”

Hearing this, Sun Lang and Ling Yan also squatted down to check on the people nearby, "This person is not dead!" ”

"I'm here too." After Sun Lang finished speaking, he slapped the person in front of him in the face. I saw that the man's cheeks were suddenly swollen, but he was still unconscious.

Chi Yuan stood up, "Judging from the direction of these heads, it seems that they all want to escape from this city, I think I am afraid that if they are a certain distance away from the city, they will fall like them." Since we can't leave, let's go into the city. With that, he turned and entered the city gate.

The three of them nodded when they heard this, and they followed.

"Huh? How is it so strange? Ling Yan looked left and right.

The ancient city was silent, but there were still shops open, but no matter in the shop, in the house, or on the street, everyone seemed to be asleep, lying or leaning on it, as if it had been frozen in an instant. Penicillium grew in the pot where the snacks were cooked on the street, the carbon in the stove had long since burned out, the desk in the house was covered with dust, and the beams were covered with cobwebs.

This ancient city is terrifyingly quiet.

Chi Yuan looked around, paused beside a man lying face down on the ground, squatted down and stretched out his hand to the man's hair, touched something and gently twisted it on his fingertips, and put it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.

"Everybody come and see."

Everyone came over when they heard the sound and looked at Chi Yuan strangely. Chi Yuan stretched out his finger, which was covered with some black powder.

"Isn't this just dust? What's there to see? Ling Yan disdainfully pouted.

Chi Yuan shook his head suspiciously, put his finger under his nose and sniffed, frowning slightly, "No, this powder has a strange taste." ”

Sun Lang said strangely: "What taste?" ”

"I can't answer that." Chi Yuan seemed to see something again, and grabbed a black sheet from the hair of the person on the ground, "This is... Butterfly wings? ”

There was a faint flow of runes on the butterfly wings, Chi Yuan pinched the butterfly wings and shook it, and the butterfly wings dissipated instantly, leaving only some black powder on his fingertips.

"There's something wrong with this butterfly wing!" Chi Yuan shouted, but no one answered. He turned his head suddenly, and Xiao Yuan and the others had long since disappeared, only to see a black butterfly flying there, and there was a dark golden streamer on the butterfly's dancing wings.

The butterfly kept flapping its wings, as if urging Chi Yuan.

Although Chi Yuan was suspicious, he had nothing to do, so he had to walk into the street. When the butterfly saw him coming, she flew ahead.

The butterfly speed is not fast, but the houses on both sides are rapidly retreating, Chi Yuan was shocked, and just wanted to stop, a stinging pain surged in his head, and the image in front of him became blurred.

When he came back to his senses, Chi Yuan found that he was no longer in the city, surrounded by tall trees, thorns poking out of the dark passages from time to time, and black butterflies were gone.

"This place ......" Looking at the surrounding scene, Chi Yuan was stunned, "Shushan ......"

There's someone in the tree!

Just wanted to hide his aura and hide in the forest, Chi Yuan found that he couldn't move his limbs, and he couldn't even mobilize his aura. However, it seems that the people in the trees did not notice themselves, but drank to themselves, and a red spike fell from the bright red left sleeve and fluttered in the wind, like a ghost foraging for food at night.

Father-in-law!

Chi Yuan wanted to shout, but only the air flow came out of his throat, and he couldn't even make a sound.

"Song Chi, you deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, stole my treasure of Shushan, do you still have to resist?"

A person suddenly burst out of the forest, blood spilling from his white clothes, and his resolute look lined his pale face with sadness and sadness. He was still speeding until he stepped into a golden sword formation, and instead of moving forward, he turned around in silence.

Father, get out of the way!

But only the air flow is exhaled.

In the darkness of the night, there was only the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air, and only when it pierced the chest did there be a slight sound of wind. But the people in the trees were still drinking to themselves.

Song Chi fell to the ground lifeless, and Chi Yuan opened his mouth wide and shouted like a roar, but he couldn't make a sound. He wanted to rush forward and help his father, whose face was already blurred with blood, but no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't even move out even half a step. Something instantly obscured the sight, and tears poured out of his eyes uncontrollably.

A white-robed man appeared in Lin Feng and walked straight to Song Chi, who fell to the ground, he took off the long sword wrapped in black cloth behind Song Chi and wanted to leave, but when he turned around, he seemed to be attracted by something, and then paused.

"Bang!"

Xuanse on the tree let go of the two fingers that were pinching the wine jug, got up lazily and jumped to the ground, and said coldly: "Seeing the sandpiper and mussels fighting, come and reap the benefits of the fisherman." Then with a wave of his hand, he snatched the long sword from the white-robed man's hand, and untied the cloth to reveal a scabbard.

Infinite?

Chi Yuan's eyes were full of disbelief, and he stared blankly at the two people facing each other in front of him.

Xuan Se kept talking playfully, and the white-robed man on the side looked very flustered, standing helplessly in place and not knowing where to stay.

I saw Xuan Se sneer, and threw out a short sword from his sleeve, and the person on the other side knelt down before he could react, and there was an opening on the white clothes, and bright red blood spread outward from the crack.

"Come out."

There was a stumbling behind him, and Chi Yuan wanted to look back, but he still couldn't move.

Suddenly, a figure ran straight through Chi Yuan, Chi Yuan was startled, and before he could react, he saw a young boy running forward and hooking Xuan's hand, looking back.

This is...... I?

The boy looked at Song Chi's body not far away and muttered, "Daddy......"
