The shopkeeper lowered his voice and said, "It's the city within the city, also known as the inner city." ”

"Is there anything special in the inner city?"

"I don't know, no one has ever been there, or anyone who has gone to the inner city has never come out alive......"

He Xuru said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say that there is nothing you don't know about this Fengdu City?"

"Hehe, this lady, if you want to talk about the affairs of the outer city, the small ones know about it, but the things in the inner city, let alone the small ones, you can inquire at will in the outer city, if there is one who knows, the small ones will immediately return this bottle of medicine to the child......"

Fang Heyu smiled and said, "Okay, little second brother, we can trust your words, just now you are saying that those people who can't stand the infection of ghosts and qi finally turned into a mess and entered the inner city, and never came out again?"

"Yes, I think it should be dead inside, the inner city is the forbidden place of Fengdu City, there were once people who believed that they were strong, and they took the initiative to enter the inner city, but they never came out again, and over time, no one dared to take the initiative to enter the inner city. ”

"Then how did the outsiders come to Fengdu City?

"This is also very bizarre to say, because the way of coming here is strange, for example, the little ancestor is a local businessman, full-time funeral for people, so as to make a living, as a result of this funeral to do more, my great-grandfather, actually slept to the bank of the weak water river, and then came to Fengdu City by ferry. ”

"You mean you were born here?"

"Yes, it's not just me, my father, my mother and even my grandfather are locals, and my great-grandfather came here and got married and had children. ”

Fang Heyu and the others all felt weird, He Xuru couldn't help but say: "The ghost aura here is so strong, it is even possible to marry and have children, and can survive for so many years?"

"Yes, although it was a little harder, I was able to barely survive with all the resources brought by outsiders. ”

"Little second brother, tell me how else to get here?"

The little second brother was obviously familiar with these things, and said without hesitation: " For example, when you fight, you think you were killed, but in fact, you just fainted, but after waking up, you went to the bank of the weak water river, and there are people with heavy yin qi, because they encountered some supernatural events, and finally they were sent to the bank of the weak water river because of sleep, or because of a coma, and they were all sent to the bank of the weak water river, and after they really died, they came to the bank of the weak water river, and there were some tomb robbers, because they traveled in various mausoleums all year round, and finally came to the bank of the weak water river by mistake in a certain mausoleum, and there were ......"

"Okay...... Fang Heyu interrupted him, "Are there a lot of people here?"

"It's a lot, usually tens of thousands of people can come a year, and I heard my great-grandfather say that when he first came, there were more people who came to Fengdu City, and at most they could even come tens of thousands a day. ”

"Then why is there less now?"

"I heard my grandfather say that it should be because the ghost qi on the weak water lake is too strong, and ordinary people can't cross the lake, which leads to fewer and fewer people coming, and now the people who can come here are all cultivating to very powerful existences. ”

He Xuru thought of the skeleton boat supporter, and said: "Do you know the identity of the boat supporter, is he the only boat supporter on the weak water lake, and he can't be busy when there are the most people?"

The shopkeeper's face changed slightly when he heard this, and said: "Regarding the identity of the boat supporter, but it is top secret, and my grandfather doesn't know where he heard it, he once told the big one, saying that the boat supporter is from the inner city, as for how to deal with many outsiders, I don't know, he must have his own special method." ”

"What?" the five asked at the same time.

"That's what my grandfather said, when I asked him how he knew, he didn't tell me, just said I knew, don't talk nonsense, if it weren't for Childe's generosity today, the little one wouldn't have told the secret. ”

Fang Heyu and the others were all surprised, the skeleton boatman was actually from the inner city, and this inner city was obviously the core of this ghost domain.

I asked the shopkeeper for some more information, and after there was no further useful news, he was let go.

"Brother Yu, what should we do, do we want to enter the inner city?"

"It's definitely going to enter, I guess the core of this endless ghost domain is in the inner city, and if you want to leave here, it should only be possible in the inner city, just now the shop Xiaoer said that everyone who comes to Fengdu City will either die of old age here, or be completely infected by the ghost qi, enter the inner city, and no one has ever left. ”

Zixin said: "Childe, we should never be able to get out again if we go in, it seems that there is a huge danger inside." ”

"Not really, you think about it, just because those powerful people entered the inner city and never came out again, doesn't mean they are dead, right? ”

"That's right, Brother Yu, it's very likely that you're talking about it, so let's go to the inner city, right?"

"Well, without further ado, we'll go at once......"

The area of Fengdu City is very large, and the five of them walked for several hours before they came to the gate of the inner city. The inner city is also surrounded by a ring of city walls, but it is much shorter than the outer city, only more than 30 zhang, and the gate of the inner city is only five or six zhang high.

"There's no one guarding here...... Fang Heyu frowned.

"Not only that, but there is almost no activity around the inner city, and the nearest residents are miles away, so it seems that this is really a Jedi. He Xuru said.

"Let's go in, be careful. ”

After Fang Heyu finished speaking, he took the lead and directly passed through the city gate and entered the inner city. As soon as he entered the inner city, Fang Heyu felt the sea buzz, and then countless miserable screams came into his ears.

He Xuru and the others also discovered all this at the same time, their faces changed, Fang Heyu stabilized the sea of knowledge, looked ahead, and said: "The ghost aura here is extremely rich, and there is almost a tendency to liquefy, forming a fog, and we can't see anything." ”

Zixin said: "Childe, go forward, from these wails, I seem to hear some cries." ”

"What's that called?"

"I'm so miserable, I'm so miserable, it's like a wail from a ghost......"

Fang Heyu's face changed again, and said, "Let's go, go in and have a look, you have to guard the ...... of knowing the sea."

The five of them continued to move forward, and there were no buildings in the inner city, but it turned out to be a flat river, and soon the five of them came to an altar.

The height of the altar is more than 20 zhang, and the area is also dozens of zhang square, and the mournful wailing sound is coming from the altar.

The five of them looked up from under the altar, and Fang Heyu said, "The fog above is too heavy, we can't see anything, we can only go up and have a look." ”

He Xuru was just about to answer, but suddenly Fang Heyu's face changed greatly, because he clearly heard a voice, "Xiao Yu, save me, Xiao Yu, save me......"

This voice made Fang Heyu tremble, and it was already a little difficult to even stand, He Xuru helped him and said, "Brother Yu, what's wrong?"

Fang Heyu's face had turned pale, and he said, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible......" Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks like this, and almost instantly Fang Heyu's clothes were completely soaked with sweat.

"What's impossible?" Feeling Fang Heyu's body tremble more and more, He Xuru also began to worry.

"Ru'er, it's my dad and my mom's voices, I heard their cries for help......

"What?" He Xuru also turned pale and exclaimed.

"Although thousands of years have passed, I will never hear the voice of the second elder wrong, Ru'er, that voice is very clear......"

He Xuru also tried to keep himself calm, and said: "Brother Yu, how is it possible, my father-in-law and mother-in-law have been dead for many years, although you couldn't rush back to send the second elder to his death, but Sister Ruoxi took us to the funeral for the second elder, and when the second elder died, he left with a smile, although he regretted a little because he couldn't see you, but it didn't become a ghost?"

After all, Fang Heyu had experienced strong winds and waves, and after a short period of shock, he had calmed down at this time, and said: "If this is an illusion, then it means that there is a trap ahead to lure us forward, if it is not an illusion, then ......"

"Then you must save the souls of your parents-in-law. ”

"So we're going up anyway......"

Although Zi Xin and the others didn't know why, they had roughly guessed something, and then followed Fang Heyu to quickly climb the stairs of the altar.

Came to the middle waist, a huge stone tablet stood there, with four big characters written on it - Soul Devouring Altar, and there was a faint trace of suction here, tearing the souls of the five people out of their bodies.

Fang Heyu ignored the stone stele, went around and continued to climb, and soon came to the top of the altar, where it turned out to be a huge black whirlpool, the whirlpool was slowly rotating, absorbing the surrounding ghost qi, and more importantly, there were countless souls floating in the air here, Fang Heyu could even see those souls through the naked eye, they were all in human form.

While absorbing the ghostly energy, the black vortex would inhale a soul from time to time, and that soul would only let out a scream and then disappear completely.

Although the ghost aura here is the strongest, it can't hide the image of those souls, Fang Heyu's eyes are like lightning, and he soon discovered that there are really the shadows of Fang Rong and Zhang Xia in the souls.

With a broken heart, Fang Heyu burst into a loud shout, took out an artifact bow and arrow, and shot an arrow towards the black whirlpool.

With a pop, the Moon God Arrow actually passed directly through the black whirlpool and disappeared, and after a short while, it flew out of the black whirlpool and returned to Fang Heyu's hand.

He Xuru had also seen the shadow of Fang Rong and the others, she hurriedly stopped Fang Heyu's movements, and said, "Brother Yu, don't worry, it's useless to be anxious, I saw my father-in-law and mother-in-law, they were actually tied to the pillar......"

Fang Heyu was already in tears, thinking that his parents had passed away peacefully, or had been reincarnated, how did he know that he would suffer here, after listening to He Xuru's words, he looked intently and found that among the countless souls in the air, there were indeed two pillars formed by the condensation of ghost qi, and his parents were locked on the pillar by illusory chains, suffering from the erosion of ghost qi.

"Xiao Yu, save me......" The cry for help was still there, and Fang Rong and Zhang Xia seemed to have also spotted Fang Heyu, and their eyes were looking in his direction.

"Dad, Mom......" Fang Heyu shouted hoarsely, and then he was about to fly up. He Xuru grabbed him again and said, "Brother Yu, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are just souls, it's useless for you to go up like this." ”

"Ru'er, what do you say?"

"Brother Yu, you have to be calm, no matter how your father-in-law and mother-in-law got here, we have to save them, but if you want to save them, you have to solve the illusory pillars and chains, and then Brother Yu will ingest them into the sea of consciousness with strong spiritual power, and then seek the elixir to resurrect them. ”

"Yes, yes...... Fang Heyu regained a little calm, and then carefully observed the pillar chains formed by the condensation of the ghost qi, and said, "It doesn't look very strong, but if it is forcibly destroyed, it may hurt my parents, what should I do?"

Zixin said: "Childe, my three sisters can devour the chain of the ghost qi pillar, and then Childe can take the opportunity to rescue his parents." ”

"Will it be dangerous?"

"This should be the safest way, otherwise if you break it by force, these fragile souls will probably be scattered by the beating. ”

Fang Heyu nodded heavily, and said, "This will trouble the three girls, if this matter is successful, Fang will have a good reward......
