Volume 1 Traveler Chapter 39 Strange Things in Chu Ming City
After more than ten days, Ning Junxi finally found another city by himself.
"Chu Mingcheng, the name is good. ”
He looked up at the walls and praised with joy.
If you don't have a map, you want to turn out in the wilderness, but it's not ordinarily difficult, and he's quite proud to think about it.
There was a long queue outside Chu Ming City, and there were all kinds of people, dressed strangely.
Ning Junxi touched his nose and felt strange.
Although he hadn't walked around outside, he still had common sense, why was it so lively here, and when was the city gate so tightly guarded.
"This brother, dare to ask what is going on here?" he hesitated for a moment, lined up at the back of the line, and inquired.
Ning Junxi was a big-chested man in front of him, and when he heard this, he looked at him, and said in a voice like Hong Zhongdao, "Little brother, I advise you not to enter the city, you can't help it, maybe you will be the next one to look for." ”
Ning Junxi blinked, "What do you mean, brother?"
"Do you know what we're here for?" the man's voice was slightly suppressed and he pointed to the front, "Oh, do you see this group of people, they are all here to catch ghosts." ”
"Catch ghosts?" Ning Junxi unconsciously twitched the corner of his eyes, "The feng shui here is not bad, how can there be ghosts?"
"Yo, it seems that the little brother is also an expert. The man's eyes lit up, "Why don't you form a team?"
Ning Jun was stunned, this reversal was a bit fast, "Brother Tai is also a ghost catcher?"
"We're here to see the fun. Da Hanle said, "We don't believe in any ghosts or gods, we just want to see them with our own eyes, otherwise we think that someone is pretending to be a god and a ghost." ”
"Then what if it's really a ghost?" Ning Junxi was a little curious.
"Even if it's a ghost, it can't find us, it picks on the weak young man, and looks down on us. The man didn't care, "It's like a little brother, with fine skin and tender meat, delicious." ”
The corners of Ning Junxi's eyes twitched again, daring to love this person was planning to use him as bait, "Can you elaborate?"
"Are you really here to catch ghosts?" the man wondered.
"Do you look like me?" Ning Junxi showed an innocent smile.
The man looked at the hairball and nodded, "Like." ”
Ning Junxi's face darkened.
The man laughed, "Just kidding, the little brother knows that he ran out at a glance, but outside, don't bring a pet, no matter how cold the clothes are, this cat is also exposed, isn't it?"
Ning Junxi looked up at the sky, did he do anything?
The implication is that when I heard it, I felt distressed and took out a piece of broken silver and stuffed it to the man, "Brother, please speak." ”
"Go up. The man laughed more and more heartily, "Half a month ago, a young man died in this city, just your age, that's a miserable one, all limbs were dragged off, covered in blood, and his face was scratched, as if he was torn by a wild beast." ”
The corner of the man's eyes hung Ning Junxi, and sighed, "At that time, many people were frightened, no one had ever seen such a tragic death, the impact was called a bad one, just one day, several nearby cities knew about it, and the next day, even the county lord was there in person." ”
"At that time, everyone thought it was the young man's enemy, but in the end, it was only two days later, and another young man died like this, and he was about the same age as you. The man continued, "At that time, I found out that the two teenagers had nothing to do with each other, but as a result, the next day, another one died, and it was still your age." ”
Ning Junxi's face darkened when he heard it, why did he always emphasize that he was as big as him.
"At that time, the county lord was completely angry, so he put all the young people in prison, and it turned out that there was a child of a rich merchant in the city, who was about the same age as you, and the rich merchant was reluctant to let his children suffer, so he bought it with money." ”
He clapped his hands, "No, something happened again." ”
"However, it was also this thing that came out, not a pervert or something, but a ghost," he paused, "I can't say that I'm still a ghost, otherwise why would I find a young man, don't you say?"
Ning Junxi did not answer.
He was so angry that he was so angry that he was short of breath and wanted to beat people.
The man didn't care, "This is spread ten or ten, this does not attract all the bold people from all over the world, the county lord is the same as us, I don't believe it, and I am afraid that so many people will gather here to make some trouble, so I will strictly check the entry and exit of people." ”
"What about the young men who were arrested?" Ning Junxi quickly grasped the point, according to what this man said, if he entered the city, wouldn't he also be locked up.
The man gave him a slightly calm look, "The county lord doesn't believe it, but the people do, thinking that if it's a ghost, if you go to prison again, won't all the children suffer, and the people will go to the prison to make trouble, and after two days, the county lord is forced to have no choice but to release people, no, three more people have died in the past few days, all of them are as big as you." ”
Ning Jun was thoughtful.
He didn't believe in ghosts either, and perhaps the people behind them deliberately made up rumors so that the teenagers could be released from prison.
The man said, "But two days ago, a little Taoist priest appeared out of nowhere, saying that it was a demon spirit, not a ghost, let's not provoke it, he can solve it." ”
After a pause, he added, "I'm a little older than you, and I can play the style so much, but the fart is useless, and it's still dead, and no one believes him." ”
"Demon spirit?" Ning Jun muttered a little playfully.
"Do you know what the hell a demon is?" the man curious.
Ning Junxi shook his head.
The demon spirit is not a ghost, but the soul of a demon beast above the iQue Realm, and after the body is destroyed, it will take other physical bodies for its own use, which is a kind of fierce thing that is difficult to entangle.
It seems that the body that the demon spirit had taken away before was very inappropriate, and was looking for a physical body.
He muttered to himself.
Then it's nothing to do with him, after all, he has always been weak.
As for the deeper level behind it, Ning Junxi could guess it, but he wouldn't think much about it.
He is a rookie who has not even entered the grandmaster, so naturally he will not pick up a big burden by himself.
"What happened to the little Taoist priest now?" Ning Junxi asked again.
"Who knows, everyone is panicking, who cares what a foolish little kid does. "The man doesn't have a good airway.
Ning Junxi didn't ask any more.
"Next!" shouted the soldier at the city gate.
"Hey, it's my turn, if the little brother wants to form a team, go to the Yunlai Inn, and say that he can find Wu Laosan. The man greeted, hurriedly said a few words to the person who ran to the register, and was let go.
The man obviously went out of the city and went in again, and he didn't need to check anything.
"Next!"
Immediately after, the soldier's voice rang out again.
Ning Junxi hurriedly stepped forward.
Perhaps it was because Ning Jun was young and looked really harmless to humans and animals, so the soldiers interrogated him twice and quickly let him go.
However, it is not so smooth in the city.
Ning Jun cherished every place he went, and the innkeeper said that the guests were full, so please change the guest officer.
He searched half the city, but he couldn't find an inn, and he couldn't help but feel depressed.
In the end, he had no choice but to go out of the city again, preparing to spend the night in the temple of the land outside the city.
