Chapter 298: Meng Po?

Looking at the short, shriveled and sloppy clothes in front of me, an old face was like an air-dried orange peel, and there was a yin owl old woman with mildew on it. Yue Yinchen's hand holding the hilt of the 'Liangyi Wuji Sword' secretly tightened, but on the surface, he still asked gently and respectfully: "This grandma, you just said that if you can't find a place to stay after nightfall, we won't be able to survive tonight." I don't know what this means?"

Hearing this, the old woman looked up at the fading red glow in the sky. There was a trace of anxiety on his wrinkled old face, and he turned around and hurriedly ran towards the gate of the 'Xudu City', and said without looking back: "Young man, let's go quickly! Now is not the time to speak, wait until you go back to the old shop, and then talk to you in detail!"

Seeing that the old woman was still staggering just now, but her legs and feet were very sharp at the moment, she left the two of them far behind. Yue Yinchen whispered to Ji Fengshuo: "Be careful! This old woman doesn't have the slightest breath of a living person, so you must be on high alert if you are afraid of fraud!"

Hearing Yue Yinchen say this, Ji Fengshuo realized why he didn't even notice this old woman before. Seeing that he had already taken the lead in following, he hurriedly put aside the worries in his heart and caught up with him closely.

A group of three people are in a fish-through formation, the old woman is far ahead, Yue Yinchen is staggered by two zhang distance in the center, and Xi Fengshuo follows Yue Yinchen three steps away from the palace, and his footsteps are eagerly marching towards the 'Yudu City'. Dark clouds hung over the city, giving people a kind of oppression that could not breathe. From time to time, a flash of lightning crossed the sky, reflecting on the old woman's wrinkled face, lighting up a bleak forest white. And the corners of the mouth that were slightly hooked unconsciously looked so weird!

However, all of this, Yue Yinchen and the others, who were far behind her, were unaware!

Walking forward on the wide street that was empty and empty but still full of dark money, a sudden gust of wind blew, and the whistling sound was like a ghost crying wolf, bringing up another piece of paper money that was originally lying quietly on the ground, and it fluttered away, which couldn't help but make Xi Fengshuo, who fell at the end, shiver.

Walking two steps to Yue Yinchen's side, Ji Fengshuo said with some palpitations: "Master... Uncle Shi, this... How could this 'capital city' be... What does this look like? It's scary!"

Yue Yinchen's expression was also unusually solemn, and he whispered back to him: "The death gas here is very heavy, you have to be careful in everything!"

"Death ... Dead air?"

And Yue Yinchen didn't have the heart to explain to him at the moment, just said a heavy 'um!' and stopped talking.

Seeing Yue Yinchen's appearance, Ji Fengshuo suddenly felt cold for no reason, and no longer kept a three-step distance from him, but walked closely behind him. Such a close distance made Ji Fengshuo almost step on Yue Yinchen's heel several times!

found

His strange appearance, Yue Yinchen frowned slightly, turned his head sideways and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ji Fengshuo returned with some embarrassment: "Division... Uncle and grandfather, some apprentices and grandchildren... Scared!"

"Scared?" Yue Yinchen glanced at him with a strange expression, and couldn't help but say angrily and funny: "You are a person who cultivates the truth, what is there to be afraid of!

Hearing Yue Yinchen suddenly mention the words 'ghosts and monsters', Ji Fengshuo suddenly felt the yin wind blowing around him, and it seemed to be a little colder, and he received it with a nervous face: "Uncle Shi, you... Don't say it! Even if the disciple is a grandson who cultivates for the body, but... But those things are really hard to fathom, and the enemies that can't be seen or touched are the most terrible enemies! Besides, with the cultivation of disciples, how can they deal with those things, if they are really recruited by you, they will only hold you back!"

Ji Fengshuo's last sentence gave Yue Yinchen a wake-up call. Although he learned from Jin Zhu that there were indeed monks in this world who gave up their physical bodies to practice the 'ghost path', this 'ghost path' ended in a mysterious anomaly, and ordinary people and others almost never met anyone in this way. If you do run into these guys, you really don't know how to deal with them.

Thinking of this, Yue Yinchen no longer talked about this topic with Ji Fengshuo, but sped up a little more and caught up with the old woman who was hurrying in front of her!

Sensing that Yue Yinchen was following quickly, the old woman took the lead in speaking: "Young man, don't panic, it's still too late! Look, the room with lights not far in front of you is the coffin shop where the old man borrowed to make a living." ”

"Coffin shop?" Hearing the old woman talk about her livelihood, Yue Yinchen's heart moved inexplicably, and she couldn't help blurting out.

The old woman was a little surprised when she saw Yue Yinchen's tone, and sighed secretly: "Hey, yes! This coffin shop is the only relic left to me by the old man of my family." He left early, and his children felt that the feng shui in this 'capital city' was not good, so they moved to live elsewhere. And the old man was reluctant to give up this coffin shop, so he stayed behind to take care of it. After all, this is the stall where our family used to eat, and it is also full of a lot of memories! It's a pity that in this 'drunken capital city', all the damned are dead, and there are not a few dead people left, so the coffin can't be sold. In desperation, the old man took the back half of the shop and asked someone to transform it into an inn. ”

Hearing the old woman say this, Yue Yinchen suddenly woke up to the fact that she had done a big wrong! No wonder she met this strange old woman in the extremely gloomy dense forest, it turned out that she had been hiding in the dense forest, just to find passers-by passing through the 'Xudu City', and then solicit business for herself!

But since they all came, Yue Yinchen wouldn't care about these details. After all, listening to the old woman, he was alone

It's quite pitiful, and I'm staying in her coffin shop tonight, even if it's a fate to meet and help her!

And Yue Yinchen was thinking about this in his heart, and the old woman who led the way in front saw that he didn't speak for a long time, but suddenly said: "Why doesn't the young man squeak?

Yue Yinchen was interrupted by the old woman's words, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "No, no! The old man is willing to take us in, and we are already grateful, how dare we dislike it? It's just that the old man has been thinking about the old man's previous words, so he was a little distracted for a while. ”

Listening to Yue Yinchen's explanation, he saw that his coffin shop was also close in front of him, and he was just a few steps away. The old woman gradually slowed down, and said in a hoarse voice: "Hey, young man! Just now the old woman said that if you don't find a place to stay, I'm afraid you won't survive tonight." It's not for you both to come to my inn to rest and earn you both money. It's that an extremely terrible thing has recently happened in this 'Xudu City', which is why I will say that, my wife. ”

"Oh?" Seeing the old woman mysteriously say this, Yue Yinchen suddenly became interested and said: "I don't know what terrible thing it is, the kid is willing to hear about it!"

The old woman took three steps and made two steps, leading Yue Yinchen and the two into the empty coffin shop. Seeing that the last glimmer of light on the horizon had also been swallowed up by the darkness, let the two of them sit casually first, and then hurriedly turned around and cleaned up the counter and closed the shop, and then said to the two with a smile: "After a day's journey, you must be hungry!

After the old woman entered the house and locked the door, she was no longer nervous and panicked when she was in a hurry just now, but much calmer and calmer. Yue Yinchen couldn't refuse her enthusiasm, and smiled slightly: "Then there is Grandma Lao!"

When the old woman heard this, she somehow nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Yue Yinchen: "That's right! The old man was originally surnamed Xu, but after the husband changed his surname to the husband's surname, the people who are familiar with him in this city will call the old man Mrs. Meng! If you two young dolls don't dislike it, call me Granny Meng!"

"Meng... Granny Meng?" Hearing the old woman's words, Ji Fengshuo immediately exclaimed.

The old woman was very satisfied, and after an excited 'sigh!', she raised her feet and walked towards the kitchen in the back hall.

"Division... Uncle Shi, it won't be such a coincidence, right?" As soon as the old woman who called herself Granny Meng left with her front foot, Ji Fengshuo hurriedly got up from the low stool she was sitting on, came to Yue Yinchen's side and asked in a low voice.

"What's the coincidence?" Yue Yinchen was a little puzzled.

Ji Fengshuo said with an anxious face: "This grandma calls herself Meng Po! Don't you forget, the old woman who boiled soup at the head of the 'Nai He Bridge' is also called Meng Po by the world!"
