197, ten rooms and nine empty
In the environment of yellow paper in the deserted streets and alleys, the gray weather lined with extreme fear, everyone was frightened, but they heard the sound of striking iron in this place, and even Li Guxing couldn't help but be afraid.
But he looked at the Hou Qing and the generals in front of him without any reaction, and expected that there was no danger here.
But he regrets it now, regretting that he summoned the two murderous corpses of Hou Qing and the abbreviation.
It's a street, after all, and it doesn't look like there's anyone on the surface, but it's not necessarily the case in the dark.
And the Houqing generals were the peerless murderous corpses they found from the Tangjiabao caves, even if the people of the Xiangxi faction often accompanied the corpses, they would inevitably be frightened when they saw these two murderous corpses.
What's more, he has been walking for a long time, and the two murderous corpses of Houqing and the generals have also appeared a few times, and they use masks to hide their identities.
Li Guxing laughed self-deprecatingly, laughing at his short-sightedness.
He led everyone to find a secluded place, and hid the queen and his generals underground.
It's just that no one noticed that the eyes of the Houqing generals suddenly flashed with a cold light before they escaped underground, and it seemed that danger was approaching.
Li Guxing took two breaths and comforted the three women.
"Let's go and see first, there is a sound of iron striking that means there are people here."
Luo Dagou was afraid of it, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, as if Li Guxing's decision would bring them bad luck, his body shrank back sharply, and he didn't dare to move.
Murong Yuan also had the same mind as him, but there was nothing he could do, whether it was good or bad, he should always go and see it, and he couldn't go to this place and retreat.
Chihuang also has a bad premonition in his heart, this place has changed so much, Rao is he has lived here since he was a child and can hardly recognize it, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and there may be major changes here.
I have to say that women's feelings are always much sharper than men's, but Li Guxing wants to find the Han woman in Chihuang's mouth as soon as possible, and he wants to put the 'corpse introduction' and 'golden silkworm Gu' into the cyst one day earlier, even if it is difficult, he must catch up.
The three women also knew his thoughts, although they didn't want to, they still stubbornly followed Li Guxing to follow the sound of iron.
The Xiangxi faction is looking for martial arts masters, and they want to make bronze figures, even ordinary people will not let go, and it can be said that there is no bottom line.
Li Guxing thought left and right, since ordinary people and martial arts masters are the same as the targets of the Xiangxi faction, it doesn't make much sense to wear this mask or not, it is better to tear off the mask and leak the true face, and use his fame to make these people fearful.
After thinking about it, he unveiled his mask and straightened his body, and the 'no return' was hanging from his waist brightly, very heroic.
He opened the way ahead, strutting forward, full of confidence, but his heart was always on guard, and there was a sword aura in his hand.
The four of them followed the sound and walked to a coffin shop.
The black clouds are particularly strange here, and there is a shabby white cloth signboard hanging on the coffin shop, the white cloth is tattered and old, and a few words are written crookedly'.
The door of the coffin shop was open, and steaming heat came out from the inside, and only this heat made a few people feel a little reassured.
Li Gu walked to the door and knocked on the door, and at the same time looked inside, there was a black hole in the coffin shop, and there was not even a human figure.
He boldly asked, "Dare to ask, is there a store here?" ”
At the same time as this question was asked, the sound of striking iron stopped abruptly, but no one answered.
The words fell for a long time, and the sound of striking iron rose again, turning the horrified hairs of several people upside down.
Luo Dagou pulled the corner of Li Guxing's clothes and whispered: "Lao Li, let's go, here...... It's scary here. ”
Li Guxing was also frightened, even though he firmly believed that there were no ghosts in this world, but he still didn't want to stay for a moment longer in such a strange place, and he also retreated in his heart, and his footsteps moved slightly to prepare to withdraw.

At this moment, an old and hoarse voice suddenly spoke, proving that there were still living people here.
"What kind of coffin is the guest officer going to make?"
It's just that it's okay that this person doesn't speak, and his voice is worse than that of a ghost.
"Shopkeeper, I'...... I didn't wait to buy a coffin, I just asked about something. ”
The sword qi in his hand is even stronger, and it seems that he wants to prepare to kill, as long as he finds that something is wrong, this 'floating into the fairy palace' will kill the other party.
The man groaned for a while, and then said slowly, "Since this is the case, ask if there is anything." ”
After speaking, but there was a scorching smell coming, pungent and unpleasant, as if burning some animal fat, and in an instant the room lit up, and the faint yellow light reflected the coffin very cold, as if the tomb where Xiao Han was at the beginning of Li Guxing.
The house was full of paper figures, and the paper figures were so lifelike that if it weren't for the two big reddens painted with cinnabar on the cheeks of the boy and girl, it would be almost unmistakable.
The paper figures leaned on the coffins, which were lined up with black and brown, thick and thin.
The thick one is black and dense, and at first glance it is a good wood, and the thin one is yellowed and sparse, and the coffin is leaking.
At first glance, it looks like a coffin shop.
Li Guxing and the others relaxed slightly, and looked at the man in the dim light, but saw a face full of wrinkles and vicissitudes.
It is hard to imagine that the face is owned by people, and it is a little more terrifying than the two murderous corpses of Hou Qing and the general.
The hair is sparse and dry, and there is not much left, only the edge of the head is still stubborn and can't bear to fall off.
And the boss seemed to be an extremely beauty-loving person, so he also put on blush, and even put on a few light strokes of makeup, and pulled the little hair left to the middle of his head, which could cover his shiny head.
This scene and appearance made several people stunned for a while, and fear rose in their hearts.
The man said, "Don't you want to ask me about it, say, what are you doing in a daze?" ”
Li Guxing swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and arched his hand: "I...... I wonder how this place suddenly became like this? ”
The old man started to beat the iron again, and the sound of 'clanging' was incessant.
"Why is it happening like this? That's a long story......"
"What's a long story? As far as I know, it's only been a few days since this place became like this. ”
Li Guxing looked at the phoenix, and when he saw her nodding violently, he knew in his heart.
The man sighed and was about to speak, when he heard a series of hurried footsteps outside the door.
Li Guxing was wary, and the secret luck in his body was 'Samadhi True Fire'.
In the territory of Xiangxi, 'driving corpses' is the most powerful, and if you unknowingly fall for the trick, it may be difficult to get out.
Unexpectedly, it was a young man who looked very old who entered the door.
He was very old, but his face was full of wrinkles and an indescribable sour smell.
He is said to be young because he has thick hair, which is very dry, but this hair is not found in an older person.
I don't know what this young man has experienced, he is so depressed and so old, so old that Li Guxing almost feels about the same age as his father.
When the owner of the coffin shop saw the young man, he was angry, and said half-scolding and half-sarcastic: "What are you doing here?" ”
The young man leaked a lewd look, rubbing his hands, bending his waist, and a greedy look leaked from his eyes, staring at the paper people in the corner.
"I'll buy two paper figurines from you."
Everyone was a little puzzled, and they didn't know why he would attract the dislike of the boss when he bought paper.
When passing by Li Guxing and the others, the young man inadvertently saw Murong Yuan, and he was immediately stunned, and he couldn't move his steps anymore, and his greedy eyes looked at those papers
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
When the person moved away, it was extremely difficult to move, and it almost grew on Murong Yuan's body.
Murong Yuan grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, "What are you looking at?!" ”
The man smiled "hehe", the smile was extraordinarily lewd, and the crescent moon with two eyes seemed to pretend to be an invincible abyss, and in that abyss, Murong Yuan had become his prey.
But he didn't have that much courage after all, and he didn't have the ability, even if he used the means of going up and down, he would never be able to lift Li Guxing's eyes.
Murong Yuan was frightened by him, and before he could speak, he put him down, rubbed his hands, and foiled a lot of filth.
The young man glanced at Murong Yuan a few more times, then turned to the boss and said, "Do you have any paper people here who want this girl to be so beautiful??" ”
The boss was visibly angry, but let out a long sigh and his gaze softened.
"I don't have such good skills, if you want such a beautiful paper figure to be a daughter-in-law, then go find someone else."
As soon as the words 'daughter-in-law' came out of his mouth, Li Guxing and the others were immediately shocked, and the four pairs of eyes looked at the young man in unison.
He obviously felt the fierce gaze from the four people, and he became uncomfortable, and turned around and shouted at the four people, "What do you see? I've lived for almost 30 years, and I'm still a childlike man, an iron gun has not been unsheathed for almost 30 years, and I still don't let you be happy? ”
What he said was extremely dirty, Murong Yuan and Chihuang naturally didn't understand, Luo Dagou understood it, but it was better not to have heard it, and he blocked his ears in shame.
Only Li Guxing smiled awkwardly, "Thirty years...... It's been long enough. ”
The young man grinned, leaking out a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Don't laugh at me, my family is poor and I can't afford to marry my mother-in-law."
Only then did Li Guxing notice what he was wearing, the oily black ragged clothes were pitiful, and even half of his limbs were leaking, and it was estimated that this dress had never been taken off since he was a child.
Murong Yuan obviously saw it too, and he rubbed his hands again, disgusting beyond measure.
The young man smiled sheepishly at the boss.
"Boss, on credit, on credit."
The boss was very disgusted, and pointed to a paper man on the side: "You take him, don't come back!" ”
The young man hunched over and the cat ran over with a cigarette in his mouth, kissed the paper man fiercely, turned and ran.
Looking at his gray back, the boss muttered, "The other men have died in battle, how can you be left with such a disaster?" ”
Li Guxing heard this sentence very clearly, especially the words 'died in battle' were harsh.
He asked, "Boss, you said that all the men here died in battle?" Have you been at war in recent times? ”
The boss said: "Yes, the government oppresses the people, the taxes of the previous year have not been made up, and the taxes will be increased this year, plus the season is not good, and there is not much food in the fields." If you don't fight, you will starve to death! ”
"You've caused a disaster here?"
The boss sneered, "The guest officer is from Zhongyuan." ”
Li Guxing was upright and saluted, "Exactly." ”
"Your Central Plains is fertile, and we are not like you. What's more, the officials protect each other, and when they come to a county, they will loot a wave, and they all use this place as a place to make a fortune. Who cares if we live or die? ”
This sentence has pierced Li Guxing's heart, the official coercion and the people are just four words in the book, but it has to be written by generations of people with blood and tears.
"Then the people of your town have been requisitioned? What about women? What about children? ”
The boss said: "How can a woman and her children live if her husband is dead?" They all fled, and people like me who couldn't hurt the battlefield and had no parents, wives and children could only stay here. ”
The boss said this very watery, as far as he knew, there was no war here, how could there be such a tragic situation?
