Chapter 571: The Legend of the Ghost Town
"The people of the capital city are so... Is it cold? β
Qu Qingran poked Lonely Shu Han with his elbow and asked, squinting at him. She was about to say "no one in her eyes", but after seeing Wen Su's slightly solemn expression, she paused and changed her words.
Shan Shuhan shook his head, looked in the direction of the city, and said, "No, everyone in this city has this attitude, just get used to it." β
He said that this wine will not change in a few hundred years, and this is how he came here a hundred years ago, and a hundred years later, it will still be like this.
"Let's go, aren't you going into the city?"
Lonely Han said, took Qu Qingran's hand and went inside.
"Alas! Lonely Han, don't pull me, let go! β¦β¦β
Qu Qingran was pulled and stumbled, and although the sound of complaining kept coming, she still followed Lonely Han's side step by step.
Wen Su glanced left and right at the tall blue-gray city gate, and always felt that the cool air on the soles of his feet was getting thicker and heavier, and he had layers of goosebumps on his body.
She couldn't help but stretch out her hand and grabbed Xun Yi, and said with a rather solemn expression: "The yang energy here is very weak, don't stay too far away from me, you know?" β
Although she knew that there was no real potential danger in Xudu, this feeling of coldness always made people's hairs stand on end, Wen Su tightened Xun Yi, and she didn't know whether that sentence was comforting him or herself.
"Well, I'm not going to leave you."
Xun Yi obediently held her hand, and looked at her with more and more gentle eyes.
Wen Su nodded first, and when she was about to keep up with Qu Qingran and the two, she realized that the ambiguity of Xun Yi's answer was too big, and she couldn't help but want to be crooked.
The footsteps couldn't help but pause, she turned to look, her eyes couldn't help but meet the eyes of the beautiful boy, a pair of moist pupils were shining, every time she looked at her, she was always so focused, and she could even see her silhouette from the mirror lake-like eye waves, unique and unique......
Under Xun Yi's serious gaze, patches of pink blush quickly climbed onto Wen Su's earlobes, and even the skin at the corners of his eyes seemed to be stained with a faint layer of rouge. The beating in her chest began to become irregular again, Wen Su immediately turned her head and recited the heart mantra silently a few times, and after slowly exhaling a breath, she gradually calmed down the violent beating of her heart, she calmed down, grabbed Xun Yi's hand again, and walked towards the city gate.
This is Xudu, not an ordinary city village, and in the face of the unknown environment and danger in front of her, it is best to stand aside all of her beautiful ideas!!
I thought that the faΓ§ade of the capital city was bleak enough, but after they entered, they found that in fact, the more desolate and desolate scene was still in the town-
Originally, because of the relationship between the deep mountains, the forest coverage area around the capital city is unusually lush, and the whole city is already shady enough, coupled with the unique geographical environment location, it is clear that the sunny day that can be seen at the foot of the mountain is really no longer sunny at all.
The gray sky is overhead, and a large area of heavy clouds lingers, as if it has been fixed in the sky above the capital, and will never dissipate, and the sky is more cloudy than cloudy, giving people the illusion that it will rain in the next second.
If it's just bad weather, it's nothing, where is there no time for it to rain? It's just that after entering the city, Wen Su quickly realized that he was still too young, too simple, and he was really worthy of being named a "ghost town" city, and the feeling of being dull to depression and even despair was really turbulent.
Of course, this is not to say how dilapidated or desolate the capital city is, on the contrary, it is the same as other ordinary towns, with rows of houses and well-planned streets, at least at first glance, it feels much taller than ordinary villages and towns, but the color of the whole city is simply not flattering!
In fact, before she came, Wen Su had imagined what it was like, thanks to the so many novels she had read in her previous life and the setting of the game scenes, she had always fantasized about the image of Xudu in the eerie and treacherous direction of the underworld, or a ruined city full of devastation and ruins.
It turns out that although the appearance of Xudu is very different from her imagination, the feeling given to her is even more profound!
The gray sky was dull enough, but the scene of the capital city was even more oppressive than the sky here, and it was so oppressive that it was almost breathless. The inky black roofs, dark gray walls, and dark brown dirt pavement have an eerie moss color, and even the trees planted in the city are a thick dark green...... It's as if the whole city is painted in this dark hue.
Even if white and black are a classic combination that will never fade, it can't stand up to such a large-scale use. It's not a great place to live! Even during the day, it is so dim and oppressive, and at night, I am afraid that this place is really no different from the Netherworld.
"Before the city was built, it was a shady wetland that did not see sunlight all year round, and then after the city was located here, even if it was populated, it didn't become much better. It's still the same heavy yin and weak yang, which makes people very irritable. β
Lonely Han walked in the front, and as he walked, he popularized common sense to the three people behind.
"I admire the people here, they can live in such a depressing environment."
Wen Su frowned and looked at the scene around her, the more she looked at it, the more she felt heavy, fortunately they were only temporarily settled here, if they lived here for a long time, good people would be neurotic if they were not crazy.
Under normal circumstances, who would want to live in such a cold gray world? As if there was no hope or expectation, and she wondered if all the inhabitants here had died of depression.
"The environment is a little depressing, but it is better to be safe, at least no one in the capital died because of man-made disasters."
Lonely Han's words immediately aroused the interest of several other people, you must know that people's birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm, the cause of death is nothing more than natural disasters and man-made disasters, natural disasters that cannot be prevented, although man-made disasters can be avoided, but not 100% can be avoided.
But Lonely Shuhan said that the people of the capital city all died of natural causes, which is very rare, you must know that even if it is the capital with the best security, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to pat his chest and say that no one died because of man-made disasters.
"Could it be that it is also related to the legend of this so-called 'ghost town'?"
Xun Yi rarely took a rumor so seriously, because he felt that this was probably more than just a rumor, because as soon as he entered the city, he noticed that the yin qi here was unusually heavy, and the city was known as the city closest to the underworld, which was obviously not groundless.
Lonely Shuhan nodded and said: "It's really related, there is also a saying that the Xudu is on the periphery of the ghost world, and it was forbidden by the King of Jizo in the early years, and those lonely souls and wild ghosts who escaped from the underworld will go around in the Xudu until the bull head and horse face will catch them back." In other words, Xudu is also under the jurisdiction of the underworld, and those who do evil in Xudu have a short lifespan, and it is said that after death, all of them went to eighteen layers of hell, and they were still captured by Black and White Impermanence himself. β
Obviously talking about something quite creepy, but Lonely Shuhan has always been smiling like a flower, and he has a sense of amusing joke about this serious topic.
Qu Qingran narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "It is said that it is said, who did you listen to?" It's like you've seen it with your own eyes. β
Lonely Shuhan smiled and pinched her face, was slapped on the back of her hand by Qu Qingran, and said, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but believe me, it's all true." β
The tone of his second half of the sentence was rarely serious, and people did not dare to question him.
has been dealing with Lonely Han for a long time, and Wen Su also knows a little about the temper of the male protagonist, he may lie to anyone, but in front of Qu Qingran, his words are still very credible.
So she took a deep breath with some emotion and said: "It's no wonder, dare to do it under the nose of the king of Hades, who will die if they don't die?" β
If what Lonely Han said is true, then the city of Xudu is indeed the safest, even the most powerful people will be afraid of the coming of death, let alone ordinary people, who would dare to go wild in Xudu if their brains are not sick?
