The walls stand so tall that there are no borders in sight. Leaning against the city walls, you can see the skyscrapers inside that are even taller than it. When shrouded in fog, the silhouettes of these buildings, together with the city walls, form a hideous image. But when the fog clears, this combination of ancient and modern architectural styles forms a wonderful charm.

Wang Yiqiu walked slowly, and as she approached the city, her head tilted back more and more, only in this way could she see the gate that seemed to be a giant's passage, and the words engraved on the doorway.

"Xudu ......" Wang Yiqiu spent some effort, combined with his common sense, to recognize these two words in many letterings.

After recognizing it, she compared it and found that the bells and whistles under the original two words were pinyin and ...... English......

English?

"GhostCity......" Wang Yiqiu read out the content of the English text in the flower style, and stood still under the city gate. Her head was not lowered, her eyes were still on that line, and her heart was very shaken.

Where the hell did she come to?

"New here?"

Wang Yiqiu heard a greeting.

She immediately looked down, and saw a small figure leaning at the end of the city wall, which stretched for dozens of meters.

The man's voice echoed and could be heard, but it was impossible to tell the man's gender or age from the voice; The man's figure was in the shadows of the city walls, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Where is this place, please?" Wang Yiqiu also replied loudly, "I want to find black and white impermanence!" ”

"Oh. You actually know how to find black and white impermanence. Come on in. I'll take you to find it. The man inside the door shouted.

Wang Yiqiu hesitated, standing in front of the huge city gate and did not move.

She suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind her.

Thinking of my deathbed...... No, it was the experience before he was killed, Wang Yiqiu immediately turned around smartly.

She didn't see the terrifying female ghost, only a family of three people approaching from afar, and soon appeared in front of her.

"Uh, hello." The father of the three said hello with some embarrassment.

"This is where people come when they die? Drunken ...... Wow, the drunken capital really exists! The young man, like Wang Yiqiu before, looked up at the huge city gate, "And English!" Keep up with the times! Are there any foreigners here? ”

Wang Yiqiu didn't answer.

"Is that how you got in?" is still the one who asked Wang Yiqiu when he was a father.

"I ...... I don't know......" Wang Yiqiu shook his head.

"If you come in, it's hard to get out! If you want to go out, you have to go through the formalities! The voice inside the door rang out again.

Wang Yiqiu turned his head suddenly.

"That little girl who is looking for black and white impermanence! If you want to find them, you can find them in the sun. But how to find it in the yang world is up to you! They have people on duty in the capital of Xudu! You'll find them in the capital in no time! The voice shouted again.

Wang Yiqiu thought of Li Yun, who was still in a coma, and instantly let go of that hesitation.

She's got to hurry...... Hurry, hurry up and find black and white impermanence before that thing eats your body.

Wang Yiqiu bit her lip, resisted the urge to cry, and immediately ran into the huge city gate.

The inside of the city gate was pitch black, except for the dim light coming from the city.

Wang Yiqiu ran through these dozens of meters in one breath and crossed the dividing line between light and dark.

For a moment, Wang Yiqiu felt that her soul had become different.

She raised her hand and touched her wrist.

There was a circle of patterns.

"Alright, I'll take you to find Black and White Impermanence."

Wang Yiqiu turned his head to look and saw the man leaning against the stone of the city gate standing up straight and walking into the light.

It was an old man with not very sharp legs, but his voice was full of energy, and he walked with his hands behind his back like an old cadre.

"Are you...... Excuse me, who are you here? Wang Yiqiu asked cautiously. Two folklore characters as famous as black and white impermanence popped out of her head, "Bull Head and Horse Face", but looking at the old man's normal head and that very ordinary dress, she couldn't make up her mind.

The old man shook his head, "My surname is Jiang, and I am an ordinary dead man." I've been waiting for my brother's message for the last few days, so I've been staying here. ”

casually introduced two sentences, Jiang Longchang also pointed to the city wall.

Wang Yiqiu found that there were many people lined up along the city wall. There are also people who take a small maza and sit together to play cards, so it is not lively.

This scene reminded Wang Yiqiu of the news reports that lined up to buy things.

"It's all about the same as me, waiting for someone here."

"Old Dragon! You're going to take someone to report the crime again! ”

Someone in the crowd shouted, and there was a commotion all around.

"This is what a zealous citizen should do! If you are as indifferent as you, can this society still be better? Jiang Longchang replied aggressively, causing a good-natured laugh. He didn't mind, "When you see my brother's letter, remember to call me!" ”

"I know, I know!" A number of people scrambled together to answer.

Wang Yiqiu found that among the people waiting in line, some people were in good spirits and in the mood to play cards, and some people described them as withered, looking no different from beggars, and they were also lifeless.

She didn't know the reason for this, but she felt that the picture of this circle of people at the foot of the city wall was shocking.

Jiang Longchang led the way for Wang Yiqiu, and said without looking back: "Those who are not energetic are those who have no letter from home." ”

Wang Yiqiu was stunned.

"There have been no letters for many years. It doesn't have to be paper burning, either. In the past, it was paper burning, but now it's not allowed to burn paper indiscriminately, isn't it? There are other ways as well. If the family thinks of them, if they mention them, they can feel it. They just don't feel it at all...... I don't know if people are all dead, or if they have forgotten about them. Alas......" Jiang Longchang sighed.

Wang Yiqiu didn't know how to answer. When she first arrived, she certainly couldn't immediately accept her new identity and integrate into her new environment. Before her death, she was not so concerned about the sacrifice on the Qingming Festival. Like most young people, she sees this behavior as a traditional ritual to comfort the living not of the dead under the Nine Springs, but of the living in the present world.

She didn't expect that there really was a ghost town in the capital of Xudu, where so many dead people gathered and lived.

Wang Yiqiu didn't expect to see the subway platform exactly like the one in the world.

"It's been thousands of years old, and the urban planning is chaotic." Jiang Longchang explained to Wang Yiqiu, "Black and white impermanence, their duty place is not at the city gate, and they have to take two stops away. ”

"I, I don't have any ......money," Wang Yiqiu said embarrassedly, digging into his pocket, only to find a mobile phone.

She no longer has the habit of carrying money with her, and instead keeps her mobile phone with her.

"I know, I know, you young people don't have any money right now. You can also pay with your mobile phone here. However, the money of the yang world cannot be used here. Jiang Longchang said, "Don't worry, you don't need money to take the subway, and you don't need money for public facilities in the capital." It's just that the supervision is relatively strict......"

Jiang Longchang said, he had already taken the escalator and arrived at the brightly lit underground station.
