10. Xinyang City
Lead-gray clouds pressed heavily against the sky, and a fog-like drizzle of rain enveloped the ruined city.
The cracked and dilapidated streets are overgrown with shrubs and weeds, and the dark green vines have crawled over the crumbling buildings because they have been uninhabited for so long.
Xinyang City is a lightly polluted city, and it stands to reason that as long as the protection is done well, it should not be empty, but the real situation is that the city is not only barely maintaining the rudimentary shape of the city, but it is a dead city that can no longer be standard.
Xue Hongyan kicked the can under her feet and complained: "I didn't expect that in just a year and a half, this broken place would be abandoned like this." She still remembers that when she came to the disaster relief with her master, there were still many refugees living in the city.
"Sister Xue, be quiet." Jiang Xingmian stared at her restless feet and reminded.
As a drama watcher, she knows very well how dangerous the empty city is, but she doesn't want Xue Hongya to invite terrible things.
"It's just you." Xue Hongyan rolled her eyes: "Even if there are demonic creatures in a lightly polluted city, it will not be too strong, what are you afraid of?" โ
Jiang Xingmian reasoned with her seriously: "But your space ring has been lost, and my master's talisman is getting fewer and fewer, and the rest has to be kept to deal with the unjust soul of Linjia Village, so it's better for us to keep a low profile." โ
Xue Hongyan: "......" which pot is not opened!
Seeing that Xue Hongyan was speechless, Jiang Xingmian struck while the iron was hot: "And Sister Meng told me that the citizens of Xinyang City did not die of natural causes, but mysteriously disappeared overnight, such a dangerous place......"
"I see." Xue Hongyan dragged out her voice.
Jiang Xingmian knew why Xue Hongyan suddenly became so talkative. Because according to their original itinerary, they didn't need to come to Xinyang City to take risks, but she lost her space ring, and she had eaten Wen Chuyan and drank Wen Chuyan for the past few days, and the animals and plants in the wild were inedible, so she had to go into the city to collect supplies?
It's just that what she can't understand is that her demonic disease has obviously been cured, why does Wen Chuyan still insist on going to Linjia Village? Did you really take a fancy to that evil weapon? However, three hundred years have passed, and is the evil weapon still there?
Jiang Xingmian was a little itchy and wanted to ask directly, but thinking that the guy had been observing her intentionally or unintentionally recently, he couldn't help it.
When the vest falls off, it dies.
Hey, Wen Chuyan is like a fan, completely different from what she saw in the TV series.
You say he's crossing.,Look at him skillfully drawing talismans.,Flexible use of the male master's various sword moves and skills.,It's obviously not.ใ
It is said that he was reborn, but it is even more unlike, if he is really reborn, with his meticulous character, it is impossible for Ahri to be infected with the demonization virus.
Therefore, this is obviously a serious inconsistency between the plot and the character.
Hmm, it's annoying!
In just a moment of thought, Wen Chuyan and Xue Hongyan had already arrived in front of a shop covered in vines.
This shop looks like a private renovation, not to mention the low, or the old swing door.
Wen Chuyan gently pushed with his sword, and the rotten door collapsed, and the smell of rust mixed with the smell of fishy smell came to his face, Jiang Xingmian hooked his head and took a look.
It's a hardware store, and because of the dampness, everything is rusty, and there are a lot of bugs breeding in the cobweb-covered corners, and you can see large patches of pink eggs on the walls, which are a bit like the eggs of Fushou snails.
Anyway, it's disgusting.
Miss Xue saw that it was 'unprofitable', and she was reluctant to go in. Wen Chuyan ignored her and walked straight into the store. He picked up some parts from the shelves and stuffed them into his backpack, as well as several packs of unopened thumbtacks.
Seeing that he was still pulling wires, Jiang Xingmian walked around the store, and then luckily found a small kitchen, humans like to store food, and after making sure that there was no danger, she slipped in without hesitation.
The kitchen was dark, full of insect eggs and mold, but the fox didn't panic when it had night vision.
Jiang Xingmian jumped on the stove and opened the refrigerator with his paws, there were indeed a lot of ingredients in it, but there was no doubt about it...... They all rotted into unidentified objects, but she was lucky enough to find a few cans on the shelves.
I glanced at the ingredient list and the date, uh, I couldn't read it, and I didn't know any of the words on it.
She picked up a bottle of canned food, and was about to go to Wen Chuyan to inspect the goods, when suddenly there was a sound in her ears, the sound was very subtle, not like the movement that rats and insects could make, but like ......
Jiang Xingmian looked at the place where the voice originated.
Then he was stunned.
The vines that wrapped around the whole building were slowly crawling towards her! Obviously, this thing is not an ordinary vine, but a mutated plant.
Mutant plants are not easy to provoke, most of them carry highly poisonous, and when they are in the forest, they are all around it.
Jiang Xingmian didn't hesitate, immediately gave up the can in her mouth, turned around and ran towards the door, she shouted as she ran: "Wen Chuyan, there is a problem with the vines, let's go quickly!" โ
Wen Chuyan was still standing in front of the shelves, picking around, and the old god was there: "Chihua vine moves very slowly, don't be afraid of it." He looked back: "Also, you forgot to call me master again." โ
He seems to have a special obsession with the word 'master'.
She jumped back on his shoulder, and couldn't help urging: "I saw a lot of cans in the refrigerator just now, I don't know if they can still be eaten, I don't know the words on them, do you want to take a look?" โ
"I'll see it later." Wen Chuyan didn't raise his head.
Jiang Xingmian was puzzled: "What are you collecting nails for?" โ
"For the array."
"Nails can also be arranged?" Jiang Xingmian was stunned.
"I can't."
"Then what are you collecting so much for?"
Wen Chuyan looked back and smiled, his cold facial features looked much softer in the dim environment: "I can barely use it if I process it." He patted Jiang Xingmian's head: "Okay, I'm done collecting, let's go, go and see your cans." โ
When he entered the kitchen again, the vines had already climbed to the floor, Wen Chuyan swiped a few swords and cut them off, he opened the refrigerator and checked the cans, turned his head to Jiang Xingmian and said, "It's not bad luck, it's a month before it expires." โ
"What kind of can?" Jiang Xingmian's eyes were shining, and when she came to this world, she was most interested in eating.
Wen Chuyan looked at it: "Herring, chicken, corned beef, and a can of yellow peaches." โ
"Can I eat it?" Jiang Xingmian asked urgently.
Wen Chuyan smiled, low, and bad: "I'm sorry, cubs can't eat so salty." โ
Jiang Xingmian: "......"
Wen Chuyan changed his words and smiled: "However, you can eat it." โ
Jiang Xingmian instantly puffed into a puffer fish face, ahhh~ Why is this person so bad? Is it fun to tease pups?
ยท
After stuffing all the cans into his backpack, Wen Chuyan left the hardware store. Xue Hongyan was squatting on the road with her hand raised and chatting with Meng Tianyan, "Are you sure that there were spiritual veins deep in the underground of Xinyang City three hundred years ago?" โ
Meng Tianyan was attached to Xue Hongyan's bracelet, and his voice sounded very weak: "I just heard about it, and there is no actual evidence, but it is said that the Shenji Battalion did send people to dig it back then, and it is unknown as for the follow-up." โ
Xue Hongyan showed a thoughtful look: "I think there should be a spiritual vein, otherwise Xinyang City can't just be lightly polluted." โ
Hearing Wen Chuyan's footsteps, she turned her head and said whimsically, "Why don't we dig and see?" โ
Jiang Xingmian could see that Wen Chuyan was speechless, and just when she thought he wouldn't pay attention to Xue Hongyan, he said, "Your history class was probably taught by a physical education teacher. "The expression is quite serious.
Xue Hongyan stood up suddenly, and tore with Wen Chuyan again.
Wen Chuyan probably thought she was noisy, so he popularized science: "The spiritual veins of Xinyang City were scraped by the ten major sects on December 18, three hundred and thirty-seven years ago, and in order to compensate for the losses of local residents, Xinyang City has been divided into the subordinate areas of the Changge Sect, and there are ten places for the escort sect every year. โ
He spoke in great detail like an endorsement, and Xue Hongyan was speechless for a moment. She wrapped the soft whip back around her waist, and in order to hide her embarrassment, she hummed: "Knowing Wen Xueba, hurry up and find supplies and leave, I don't want to stay in this ghost place anymore." โ
Wen Chuyan raised his hand and looked at the watch, Jiang Xingmian took the opportunity to take a look, she could still understand this kind of antique watch, and the time displayed on it was 5:37 p.m.
Wen Chuyan said: "Then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, we're going to sleep here tonight." โ
Xue Hongyan: "......"
