Chapter 161: Sweet Candy Has a Wonderful Purpose
The night was fleeting, and when the first rays of the sun fell on the city, there was smoke curling in the city, and the vendors began to do their morning business, and the shouting and shouting lasted for a long time, waking up the people of the city.
Bai Junqian summoned everyone and said that there was news of the dead city.
As a result, they didn't expect that they had a road map to the dead city.
Although the clues about the dead city are intermittent and not extremely fast, they are finally getting closer and closer to the so-called dead city.
On this day, in order to make up for the time spent searching for the dead city, the group traveled all night, and by the time they reached a small village in a valley, it was already late at night.
But at this time, they lost their direction, after all, what was marked on the map was only an approximate place, and the scope was very vast.
Bai Junqian and his party saw a farmhouse with lights still on, and Bai Junqian stepped forward and knocked on the door.
A woman opened the door, and saw this woman in the light of the room light, with a round figure, kind eyebrows, a blue-gray cloth dress that was loose and fitting, sleeves rolled up between her elbows, and black hair and a head coiled behind her head.
Bai Junqian said after arching his hand: "I came to Yingguo to play with someone behind me, but I never wanted to get lost, passing through your land, where is this place?"
The woman who listened to the words was stunned, and originally wanted to close the door and ignore it, but after seeing Bai Junqian look so standard, she replied with a smile: "This is Jiugu." ”
"Thank you. Then where do you go further?" Bai Junqian said again.
But before the words fell, a middle-aged man walked out of the house, with big shoulders and a round waist, he looked at Bai Junqian and his party for a while, and said, "Go further, it will be the dead city." I advise you not to go. ”
The tone is very cold.
But as soon as these words came out, Bai Junqian and his party were very stunned, "Big brother knows about the dead city?"
"......" Seeing that Bai Junqian and his party were so surprised, the middle-aged man was also a little hesitant, "That's right, if you go further, you will be a dead city." ”
"Great. Bai Jun Qianwu became excited, and the rest of the people were similar.
The middle-aged man was a little surprised when he saw Bai Junqian and his party react like this, so he said: "Don't you know that the dead city is not allowed to enter? Moreover, there are many dangers around the dead city, there is a large forest of monsters, and those monsters eat people and do not spit out bones. ”
After Bai Junqian and his party heard this, they were a little speechless, although they heard a lot of rumors about the dead city along the way, but it was the first time that it was so real.
After a while, Bai Junqian smiled and said, "It's nothing." Bothering the two of you, we're going to take our leave. ”
He arched his hand.
"......" The middle-aged man and woman looked at each other speechlessly, and only after seeing Bai Junqian and his party disappear into the darkness did they sigh deeply.
.......
There were no stars and no moons, and in the darkness, Bai Junqian and his party did not stop moving.
In the early morning of the second day, they were still in a mountain forest, resting for a while.
At that time, the birds and insects in the mountains and forests were breathing, except for the sound of Bai Junqian and his party's words, only the sound of the mountain stream and the clear spring tinkling.
The springs gather into a river, forming a waterfall along the cliff and rushing down, and the mist below the cliff is filled with a faint silver light.
A cold wind blew away.
Bai Junqian inadvertently seemed to see a child, but in the blink of an eye, the child was gone, leaving only a faint silver bell.
"Master, what are you looking at?" the letter ran to Bai Junqian's side and asked.
"Nope. Bai Junqian shook his head and replied. He thought that no one else had seen it, and that it might or may not have been an illusion.
After resting for half an hour, the group continued to set off, but they were blocked by a forest filled with black fog, which looked like the monster forest that the middle-aged man had said.
And there is a magic circle above this forest, which seems to be used to control monsters, but if there are other functions...... It's better not to break in easily.
The group looked back at the way they came, but saw that the sky was clear, but it seemed to be covered with dark clouds.
They lingered for a long time at the edge of the forest, looking for a way to get in.
I don't know how long later, there was a silver bell not far away, and everyone tried to find the source of the sound, but the sound disappeared immediately, and the roar in the forest suddenly rang out.
Bai Junqian and his party pulled out the swords in their hands one after another, but it was not a monster that ran out of the forest, but a child, wearing a small skull on his head, watery eyes, innocent and cute, which made people happy.
When everyone saw it, they were relieved.
"Are you the ones who are going into the city?" she said in a soft, glutinous voice.
Bai Junqian looked at the little girl and nodded. He felt that the little girl looked very much like the one he had seen in the mountain stream, and that the silver bell was added...... Didn't you wait for them all morning? Is this some conspiracy?
As he pondered this, the little girl held out her hand to him, and then raised her head with some pride.
"What's wrong?" said Silver, confused.
"You don't know?" the little girl's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Bai Junqian and them with some unease and kindness.
The group and the little girl looked at each other wordlessly for a long time, and then the little girl seemed to take something out of her arms, and Bai Junqian and his party also planned to draw their swords.
The cold wind did not stop, and the dead leaves flew between them.
It was as if a battle was about to begin.
But who knows, the little girl took out just a piece of paper, and then pursed her lips and said, "You have to figure out the rules above before you come!"
Hearing this, Bai Junqian took the piece of paper and saw that it was written
"Fuyuan is on duty, and those who enter the city need to offer sweets in exchange for the qualification to enter the city......"
As soon as Bai Junqian saw this, the little girl immediately snatched the paper back into her hand, folded it and put it in her arms.
But Bai Junqian and his party only felt that this was too rash, and if it was so easy to get in, why did they summon so many monsters here in front of the city, and they also used a magic circle to control them.
For a long time, the group looked at each other without saying a word, this little girl wanted candy, but they were .......
"I've got it here. ”
Tu Yao Immortal said. Then he took out an oil of newspaper from his bosom, opened it, and saw that it was halva.
When the little girl saw it, her eyes immediately lit up, and she immediately wanted to take it, but the Tuyao Immortal closed it one step ahead of her, held it in her arms, and said, "You take us into the city first." ”
As soon as these words came out, the little girl's expression changed, and then many black insects crawled out of the forest behind her.
Bai Junqian looked at it fixedly, then hurriedly snatched the bag of candy from the hands of the Tuyao Immortal and handed it to the little girl.
"What are you doing?!" the figure immortal scolded.
At the same time, the bugs turned back to the little girl's smile.
Bai Junqian also exhaled sharply and said in a low voice, "That was a highly poisonous bone-eater just now. ”
The Huawei Immortal also nodded hurriedly on the side, pulling the Tuyao Immortal back a few steps.
Everyone looked at the little girl with a shocked expression, but the little girl didn't think so, and happily put the halva in her mouth and ate it.
"This ......"
Bai Junqian was helpless or helpless.
