Chapter 155: The Empty City (1)
Meng Ying was the second to chase out, Tian Fangfang took out the fire wolf tooth on her chest, and there was a little light in the room.
The fire wolf tooth was originally a fire-based spiritual treasure, which was strung on a red rope by Tian Fangfang as a necklace, which could not be seen in the clothes on weekdays, but it could be used for lighting now. Now everyone's Yuan Li has been lost, and the exercises can't be used, and the lighting talismans of the hairpin are all in the Qiankun bag, so they can only rely on this to barely use it as an oil lamp.
Under the light of the fire wolf's fangs, the rest of the people also rushed out of the house. When he went out to the outer hall, Hairpin noticed that there was no shadow of Dou Niang and Xu Fu in the hall outside.
After going out of the door, Gu Baiying and Meng Ying walked back, and Mu Jiexiao asked, "How is it?" ”
"No one else was found." Meng Ying shook her head, "Look. She looked out into the courtyard.
There used to be a flock of white geese in the yard, which were loud and fierce, but now there are cages, earthen bowls for feeding geese, and scattered vegetable leaves, but those geese are gone.
"What's going on?" Hairpin Xing asked Gu Baiying: "When Uncle Shi was on duty at night, did he find anything wrong?" ”
Gu Baiying was silent for a moment before saying, "No, I'm asleep." ”
Hairpin was a little surprised.
"It's not Uncle Shi's problem," Mu Jiexiao said: "I didn't sleep at first, but when I got halfway through, I suddenly felt very sleepy, and when I woke up again, the lights in the room had been turned off, and the change should have happened at that time." ”
Tian Fangfang came out from behind: "I have searched inside and outside the house, but I haven't seen Xiaodouzi and Daddy Xu, this is ......"
This makes it even more abnormal.
"Hey," Mendong tugged at the corner of Gu Baiying's clothes, "Don't you think it's a little too quiet here?" ”
The hairpin raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
The dirt road is still the original dirt road, the doors of the houses on both sides of the road, there are lanterns, the light of the lanterns illuminates a small piece of land in the yard, the night sky is as thick as ink, this was originally a very quiet picture, but when everything around it becomes a deathly silence, this warmth and tranquility, it shows a bit weird and terrifying.
There was no barking of dogs, no snoring of people in their sleep, no chirping of insects, no sound of horses pacing in the fence, not even the sound of the wind. It was like a pool of stagnant water, as if they had inadvertently intruded into a ghost realm that had been abandoned for thousands of years.
However, it was not long ago that they participated in a grand and grand festival.
The houses looked neat and ordinary, and the hairpin said, "I have a bad premonition." After a pause, she continued: "Won't there be no one in these rooms?" ”
Mu Jiexiao and Meng Ying glanced at each other: "Let's go and have a look." ”
The two of them searched for a few nearby rooms, and soon returned, their faces a little grim. Meng Ying looked at the hairpin: "Senior sister is right, the room is empty." ”
There is no moon, and the night sky is like a huge black net, firmly enveloping the city in the desert. The lively singing and dancing and the crowd were like a brief phantom, and when the phantom dispersed, only the cold and empty city remained.
Hairpin couldn't help but feel numb all over, and said in a low voice: "Here...... There won't be ghosts, right? ”
"The Top of the Nine Skies" is just an upgraded stream after all, although there are strange flowers and plants, and rare spirit beasts at every turn, but it is not a thriller in the end. Now that no one can control the development of this plot, even if she has read the full text, it is difficult to get a glimpse of the future direction.
Gu Baiying was about to speak, but Mimi suddenly screamed, the hair all over her body exploded, and she slammed forward.
"Mimi!" The hairpin was startled.
This fat cat rarely has such a agile posture, and the snow-white fur in the night seems to glow, and quickly runs in one direction.
"Keep up with it!" Gu Baiying chased after him with a gun.
Mimi ran fast.
This cat usually walks a lot and has to lie down on the ground to play tricks, but tonight he is very energetic. All the way through the dirt road without stopping. Hairpin saw the houses, some of the doors were closed, some of the shops were open, and through the windows he could see that there were still half-eaten scones and broth on the tables in the houses. But the people were gone, as if in a hurry, and the living things in the city were erased by an invisible hand, and all that remained was the "then" of a certain night.
This is even more creepy.
A group of people shuttled through the empty city with a cat, and there was a little funny feeling in the weirdness. I don't know how long I ran, but Yami stopped.
The door of the roadside wine shop is not closed, the wine flag with red letters on a yellow background hangs on the eaves, the empty wine jars are neatly stacked together at the door of the store, and the wine bowls are beautiful celadon color, which are placed on the table at will.
It's all hilarious and ridiculous.
And where Mimi stopped, there was a ruined city gate.
This is the gate of Wufan City.
Hairpin still remembers that when she first arrived in Wufan City, she remembered that although the city gate was old, it was still complete, and the city wall was still carved with the totem of the snake witch of the snake witch clan. At present, the city gate is dilapidated and decayed, and half of the city gate can no longer see the original shadow, and is buried in the sand. Those totems were so corroded by the wind that they couldn't see their original shapes, only a lump of clumps.
"How is this different from what we saw before?" Tian Fangfang pointed to the city gate: "Is this a place?" ”
"It's where we came from." Meng Ying said lightly, "Perhaps, this is what Wufan City really looks like." ”
Mu Jiexiao took two steps forward: "What is that?" ”
Stretching from the city gate, a golden hall appeared. The main hall looks as if it appeared out of thin air in the desert, and the roof of the hall is a beautiful golden arch, and the four sides are carved with columns full of patterns, which looks like an altar and a temple or other building.
"You didn't have that when you came, did you?" Mendong wondered: "Did this grow out of thin air overnight?" ”
At night, the temple in the desert is gorgeous and beautiful, and there seems to be light and shadow swaying in it, as if it is a silent invitation.
"Uncle Shi, do you want to go in?" Meng Ying asked.
"Enter." Gu Baiying clenched the embroidered bone and walked straight in the direction of the long hall.
The crowd followed.
The temple was wide and tall, and at first glance it looked golden, with a circular door in the center, and the doorknob was cast in the shape of a coiled serpent. Gu Baiying put her hand on the doorknob, suddenly thought of something, and turned around and said, "You guys stay away." Wait for the door to open and follow me. ”
"Uncle Shi, now is not the time to be strong!" Mendong hurriedly spoke: "You ..... now" He stopped his mouth and said after a while: "...... Some catch a cold, and Yuan Li is unusual. ”
Gu Baiying said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, tell you to stay in the back." ”
