Chapter 287: The Source of the Corpse Stench in the Wilderness

Because Chunhua Wenyuan is such a face-saving character, she would rather be stubborn and let others kill her than bow her head.

"I know, you can rest assured, and Ah Yue should also pay attention to it in the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss." Wen Yuan knew that some people here were still very unfriendly to Chunhua, and she was really afraid that she would be bullied in these days when she was away.

Wen Yuan extracted Shen Huaiyan's memories of the Phantom Kingdom, so that she could know the exact location of the Phantom Kingdom and tear the space directly through it, so there was no need to rely on horses to walk for so long.

This place is really the same as Shen Huaiyan said, there are only some broken walls left, but who would have thought that there would be people selling naan in such a place, isn't it too weird?

Wen Yuan walked up and bought one and was ready to ask the boss about the Phantom Kingdom, but who knew that as soon as the boss saw them coming, he immediately closed the stall and ran away.

"What's going on, do I look scary?" Of course it doesn't look scary, but it just doesn't look bad, Shen Huaiyan thought so in his heart, and didn't dare to tell the truth.

The surrounding area is deserted, and Wen Yuan is worried about where to stay tonight.

"Otherwise, let's find a place to rest, we can't stand here all the time." The royal bird proposed at this time.

"I remember there should be a very small village not far away, I don't know if it's still there, or let's go and see?" ”

Shen Huaiyan's words raised hope in Wen Yuan's heart.

It's just that this little hope has completely disappeared after she has been gone for a long time and has not seen the village.

"Look!" I don't know how long it took, anyway, Wen Yuan knew that it was dark before they saw a small house.

The clod house looked a little dilapidated, the roof was thatched, and to be honest, Wen Yuan hadn't seen such a simple house for a long time.

"I'll go up and knock on the door." With the sound of the door slamming, the night around it seemed even quieter.

"Who?" There was a sound of vicissitudes in the house, and as soon as the door opened, Wen Yuan saw a pair of gray-haired old men standing in the house, "Who are you?" ”

Wen Yuan bowed his waist pitifully and said, "Old man, we are passing through here, and we want to spend the night here when it gets dark, I don't know if it's okay, we can give money."

The old couple was also very enthusiastic, and directly beckoned them in, "What kind of money to give, but we only have one room, I'm afraid we will have to squeeze tonight." ”

Wen Yuan walked into the house and saw the inside clearly, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a house with four walls, there is a broken mat, a table with half of the leg broken and covered with stones, and only one chair remains.

Oh yes...... There is also a water tank in the corner.

Wen Yuan looked at such a living environment and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, "Old man, have you always lived here?" ”

"yes, we've lived here for over fifty years."

Their words reminded Shen Huaiyan of a young couple who used to chop wood for hygiene.

And the two old men also noticed Shen Huaiyan who was sitting on the side without making a sound at this time, "This son looks a lot like a person I met with the old man when we were young. ”

"yes, maybe you've actually seen it? His father had also been here when he was younger. Wen Yuan was sloppy.

The two were very excited, "That's right, I still remember that the boy gave us a lot of food, rabbits and pheasants or something, which made our old couple relax for a few days." I didn't expect that after so many years, I was able to meet the son of the deceased, which is really fateful. ”

The old man rummaged in the jar in the corner, "I remember that there are two more steamed buns, where they were placed." ”

"I think you're really old and confused, you were clearly eaten by the two of us, where else did you go."

As soon as the wife said this, the man remembered, "Oh, yes, yes, yes, I was eaten by the two of us, alas, it was really not well entertained, and a few people came from afar, and there was nothing to entertain." ”

Seeing that their lives were so difficult, Wen Yuan could say something more, she took out a lot of food from her carry-on space, "We have brought it with us when we go from south to north, and you can also come and eat a little, old man." ”

The old couple's eyes lit up when they looked at so many delicious things, "How embarrassing is this." ”

"It's okay, let's eat together, it just so happens that I also want to do something for the second elder." Wen Yuan knew very well that only when he was eating would he open his heart a little.

She first learned about the life experience of the second elder, "Grandparents, don't you have any children?" ”

"Yes, there used to be, and then I went to the city to go to some way of life, and never came back." Speaking of his child, the old man seemed very unhappy, "But my wife and I didn't count on him." It's okay to leave, and it's easy for us not to come back for the rest of our lives. ”

But Wen Yuan saw at a glance that the old man was strong and strong, she didn't ask any more, but turned the topic to the desolation of this place, "There are no people in this place, we walked for a long time to find this place." ”

"I heard that there were people here a long time ago, you can see the dilapidated houses around here, but I heard that after a country died, there were always bad things here, and gradually people left."

Bad things, what kind of bad things, Wen Yuan was really curious about this kind of supernatural thing, she asked, "What kind of bad thing?"

"We haven't seen it with our own eyes, but we heard that for a while, there will always be people who will see the scene when the monarch of that country is forced to lift a sword and kill himself, and some people say that they often hear the cries of those concubines and beauties who have been violated by the rebels, but they are all passed down from generation to generation, and how long has that country been destroyed, so it can't be believed."

Wen Yuan ate this thing and recalled the things that the old man said just now, is it really a legend? Or did it really appear.

She thought for a while and then asked, "That's the one who asked, there are only a few stone pillars left on the old site of the Phantom Kingdom or something?" It is impossible for such a big country to be so badly weathered. ”

"Don't you know, legend has it that every brick and tile of that country is full of gold and jade, and it was all taken away by the rebels, leaving only some big stone pillars that can't be moved."

Such a bizarre and nonsense thing, Wen Yuan really thinks it's just a legend.

However, she looked at Shen Huaiyan and noticed the man's frowning and thoughtful look.

Wen Yuan pulled Shen Huaiyan out of the room, "Huaiyan, what are you thinking?" ”

But the man didn't answer her question, just asked Wen Yuan with a calm face, "Do you believe what they just said?" ”

"Huh?" Wen Yuan was puzzled, "It's just a legend, how is it possible." ”

But Shen Huaiyan's expression immediately made Wen Yuan realize that things were not as simple as he thought, "If I say it's true, the former Phantom Kingdom was like this, every brick and tile was gold, jade and gemstones, and even the stones paving the road on the ground were rare gems that were rare in a hundred years." ”

"This can't be, this country is so rich, how can it be so easy to die."

This question is also the question that Shen Huaiyan has been thinking about for a long time, he has always felt that the death of the Phantom Kingdom is just a legend, and the real Phantom Country may be hiding somewhere now, secretly watching everything on this continent.

The two returned to the house after a while, but Wen Yuan smelled a pungent smell, "What is this smell?" ”

The husband and wife looked at each other, both considering whether to tell Wen Yuan about it.

But they felt that a little girl like Wen Yuan should not be able to accept such a fact, so they wanted to take a sloppy look, "Floating in the distance, every day, don't worry, it's okay." ”

But the more Wen Yuan smelled it, the more he felt that something was wrong, "This seems to be the smell of corpses...... What the hell is going on?! ”

Seeing that they couldn't hide it, the old couple and their old faces were crowded together, "This is the biggest reason why all the people here have moved away, every night there will be the smell of this corpse rotting, and we have also searched for the smell to find the source, but to no avail." ”

Wen Yuan felt that things were not so simple, she once again took Shen Huaiyan and left, and the two came outside the house to discuss, "Otherwise, let's follow this smell tonight to see what it is?" ”

"But didn't you hear what the old couple said? They have searched many times to no avail. ”

"That's them, they're old and have bad legs and feet, they may only walk a short distance and think it's already a long way, we're different, we have witchcraft, I think we can find it."

Shen Huaiyan glanced at the room worriedly, "What about the springs?" The two of us left, and they must have been very worried that they couldn't find it. ”

"What's so hard about that?" Wen Yuan waved his hand and laid a layer of enchantment outside the house, "As long as they are in this layer of enchantment, the time they feel will slow down, let's go and go back quickly, without further ado, let's go." ”

Although Shen Huaiyan was reluctant, he felt nothing when he thought that this was one of the few times he could be alone with Wen Yuan, "Okay, then you have to follow me." ”

Although Shen Huaiyan's strength is no longer as good as Wen Yuan's now, he is still used to protecting her, just like before.

The two of them followed the smell for a long time, but they walked farther and farther until they couldn't even see the small house where they were staying, "Impossible...... Where the hell does this smell come from? ”

"I'll just say, this place is really mysterious, I've been in the world for so long, and I've never encountered anything like this."

But Wen Yuan doesn't believe in evil anymore, she has to find the source of this smell today.

I don't know how long I followed, Wen Yuan looked at the sky and began to turn white, "It's going to be dawn...... I shouldn't be able to find it...... It's too mysterious, really, I should have listened to you. ”

As the two of them spoke, the sun crept up from the back of the valley, but Wen Yuan noticed a very strange question, "You smell this...... Isn't it...... Smelly? ”
