Chapter 41: Speechless

In the ghost town, the sky is still gray, there are no clouds, no sun and moon, only the cool and cold wind blowing from all over the streets and alleys, which is a little frightening.

Cheng Ru sneaked out of the ruins, carefully covering his face with a piece of bluestone, and only used the afterglow peeking out from the bluestone to probe the surroundings. After a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he threw the bluestone aside, turned his head and shouted behind him: "Come out quickly, that thing is gone!"

After finishing speaking, he saw Wu Zhou take the lead in floating out, and then Jiang Lili and Miao Xiaomei also emerged from the ruins.

The buildings in a radius of two or three miles outside had been razed to the ground, leaving only the remains of ruins, and the dead air in the air had not yet dissipated, so that the ghosts did not dare to come forward.

Miao Xiaomei gasped and muttered, "This monster. ”

Jiang Lili glanced at Miao Xiaomei with disdain, "The girls who have never seen the world are like this." ”

Miao Xiaomei was immediately annoyed, pulled out the saber at her waist and pointed at Jiang Lili and shouted coldly: "You! I advise you to tell the origin of that set of exercises quickly! Otherwise, when my senior brother comes, I will definitely make you look good!"

"Is that rat essence?" Jiang Lili pouted, "I can beat ten of those little white faces!"

"Just blow it, you! Wait for my senior brother to use all the means to reach the sky, just don't kneel and beg for mercy!"

。。。

Jiang Lili couldn't see others, and Miao Xiaomei was also unwilling to give in, after Jiang Lili woke up, the two didn't know how many words they stumbled, Cheng Ru was also strange, just begged these two people not to be angry and insisted on fighting. Otherwise, who should he help when the time comes?

Jiang Lili is his brother in life and death, if he doesn't help him, then there will be no righteousness? Miao Xiaomei saved his name, if he doesn't help her, doesn't it mean that he repays virtue with resentment?

Cheng Ru squatted on the ground and watched the two quarrel very distressed, but Wu Zhou looked interested, fanning the flames for the two from time to time, and watched a lot of jokes.

The boredom in his heart had already gone away, leaving an extremely long trajectory, and Jiang Lili and the others followed the direction of the festival in the opposite direction. Along the way, because Wu Zhou exuded a ghostly aura, there was no ghost attack, which was considered smooth.

However, the ghost town is not small, and the group walked from early morning to late afternoon before reaching the junction of the outer city and the inner city.

Although there is no sun and moon in the ghost town, there is a difference between day and night. Although there is no sunlight in the daytime and the sky is dark, you can still see the road conditions. By this evening, it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, and it would have been difficult to walk without a torch.

Wu Zhou said: "We have already arrived outside this inner city, it is extremely dark and difficult to see at this time, why don't we find a place to rest first, so as to replenish our strength, and wait until tomorrow morning to enter this inner city?"

Miao Xiaomei frowned slightly, "It's already here, it's better to go in now, so as to understand the situation in the inner city in advance." ”

"It can't be said like this," Although Wu Zhou couldn't look at the Taoist priests, it was not the kind that didn't know right and wrong and put the basin on the heads of all the Taoist priests... The ghost, so he explained: "Although we have indeed arrived here, we are not familiar with the situation in the inner city now, and the sky is like this, if we encounter a powerful ghost cultivator, I am afraid that it will be unpredictable." ”

Cheng Ru nodded and said, "That's right, it's also a little darker this day, Jiang Lili, can you see where I am?" You see, Jiang Lili can't see it at all, what if there is a ghost attack?"

Cheng Ru was frightened by the ghost baby that night, and there was already a shadow in his heart, if he spent the night in this middle city without ghost attacks, if he wanted to go to the inner city, how dare he?

Miao Xiaomei actually has some thoughts in her heart about entering the inner city tomorrow, but because of the order of the master, she is afraid that because of her delay, the things that the master asks for will fall into the hands of others, so she will propose it at this time. When he was about to persuade a few more words, Jiang Lili said coldly: "If you want to go in, go in, no one will stop you." ”

Miao Xiaomei was stunned.

Jiang Lili took the lead and walked into a relatively clean house next to him, and heard a few crackling sounds, and a ghost escaped from the house.

Wu Zhou glanced at Miao Xiaomei, made a "please" gesture towards the inner city, and then slowly followed into the house.

Miao Xiaomei gritted her teeth, the stubbornness in her heart came up, she looked left and right, and when she was about to kick open the gate between the middle city and the inner city, Cheng Ru hurriedly grabbed her, "Miao Daxia, Miao Daxia, it's better to stay here first." Think about it, what if you go into this inner city? If you don't know the way, you don't have to run headlessly? If you accidentally enter a ghostly ambush, wouldn't you be even more in trouble? It's better to follow Wu Zhou's guy, he has been here, he knows the way. ”

Miao Xiaomei hesitated, and snorted from her nose without confidence, "Are you giving me the stairs?"

Cheng Ru nodded hurriedly.

Miao Xiaomei reluctantly walked into the house, Cheng Ru breathed a sigh of relief, looked around and only felt that this night was really people, and unconsciously shivered, so she hurriedly followed Miao Xiaomei's footsteps into the house, thinking angrily, why do I have to suffer this kind of tiredness, uncle? It's better to be a fortune teller on the streets of Yangzhou.

。。。。。。

The next day, Jiang Lili woke up very early, took out a steamed bun from his arms, mixed it with water and drank it, and after drinking it, he walked to the street alone, holding the tiger knife and groaning.

On this day, he didn't practice the knife as usual, for fear that he would fall into passivity after he was physically exhausted after practicing the knife, so he just held the Tiger Spirit Knife and considered the knife intent, trying to sharpen the knife intent.

In the early morning, the ghost town still seems to be covered with a black veil, and there seems to be a layer of black fog, so you can only see things within a hundred steps ahead, and then you can only see clearly by this black fog.

There seems to be a wind all around, layer upon layer

The black mist is spreading like a cloud, and it is like an abyss that chooses people to devour in all directions. Jiang Lili opened his eyes, and he had already noticed that something was unusual.

Originally, he just thought that this black fog was just an ordinary scene in the early morning of a ghost town, so it seemed that there must be a clue in it.

He held the Tiger Soul Knife and glanced at the two people in the room behind him who were still asleep, but he didn't say anything, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked in the direction of the wind.

At this time, Wu Zhou hurriedly came behind Jiang Lili, he didn't need to sleep, he only relied on the thick yin qi of this ghost city to cultivate at night. Now that he felt the abnormality, he woke up from his cultivation, quickly got up and walked out, and asked, "What's going on?"

Jiang Lili shook his head, and he replied: "I don't know, do you know the details of the black fog around here? I think there is something strange about these black fogs!"

Wu Zhou stretched out his hand, and when a wisp of black mist crossed his palm, he held it suddenly, closed his eyes, and his face was a little ugly after a while, "I can't feel it, this is a little different from the dead qi that is wrapped around the body, it's more like a qi machine! ”

"It's amazing!" Jiang Lili gritted his teeth and answered.

Wu Zhou nodded, and suddenly said, "Do you want to wake up the two of them?"

Jiang Lili shook his head, "Don't worry, wait and see." ”

The black mist only lasted for a long time before it fell, as if it had penetrated from all over the corner of the wall, and disappeared into invisibility.

Jiang Lili breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows did not loosen, and he said, "Originally, when you and your family came to this ghost town, did you meet any ghost cultivators?"

Wu Zhou thought about it carefully for a long time, and said, "Actually, I came to this ghost town with my family just to find something, and I haven't dealt with other ghost cultivators. Later, when I entered the ghost hall, my lord took me back into the ghost cultivator, and although I felt that there was an extremely heavy yin qi outside, I didn't know the probability. ”

Jiang Lili nodded and glanced at the sky, "Forget it, these things don't have much to do with us, anyway, we just left this place after finding the news, and we didn't bother to bother with this matter." At the end, Jiang Lili asked again, "Can you find a ghost cultivator who has been to the underworld in this inner city?"

Wu Zhou's answer was a little ambiguous, "There should be." ”

Jiang Lili's face was ugly.

Wu Zhou hurriedly explained: "There are thousands of ghost cultivators in this inner city, how did I know that one of them has been to the underworld? If you are lucky, maybe you will meet the first ghost cultivator and ask for the news, if you are unlucky... ”

Jiang Lili thought for a while, "Can't you be sure who has the news?"

Wu Zhou shook his head, and suddenly nodded again, "There is a city lord in the ghost hall, if you ask who knows the most about the underworld, it must be him! At that time, my family went to look for him, but I didn't know that he was still in this ghost city now. As you know, there are so many ghosts haunting the country in Korea nowadays because they have gone out of the ghost temple for some reason, so I can't be sure if he is still there. ”

Jiang Lili asked again: "What kind of cultivation is the city lord?"

Wu Zhou was stunned, and after careful consideration, he replied: "When I entered the inner city before, the highest ghost cultivator in the inner city already had the cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Realm, so it seems that the ghost king is at least also the Dragon Elephant Realm, and has reached the cultivation of the Ascension Realm. ”

Jiang Lili's face was extremely ugly, and he lowered his head and thought about it for a long time.

Wu Zhou said with a smile: "In fact, many times you don't have to look at cultivation, for example, my family doesn't have any cultivation at all, but he can talk to the ghost city lord and profit from it." ”

Jiang Lili shook his head, "I don't understand, I can only do things with my fists." ”

Wu Zhou sighed, "Then let's look for it in the inner city, if you happen to meet it, if you don't meet it, you can only find a chance to make a deal with the city lord." ”

Jiang Lili nodded, and was about to go back to the room to wake up the two of them when she heard a shout behind her, "What are you two gods talking about? Could it be that there is some secret?"

It was Miao Xiaomei who had just woken up who spoke.

Jiang Lili snorted coldly, "You don't need to take care of this? Didn't you enter the inner city? Why did you come out of here at this time?"

Miao Xiaomei's face was a little embarrassed, so she had to learn from Jiang Lili and snorted coldly and didn't speak again.

After kicking Cheng Ru to wake up, Jiang Lili casually threw a piece of cake on Cheng Ru Shi's body, "Eat quickly, it's time to go on the road when you're done." ”

Cheng Ru always felt that this sentence was a little weird in a daze, but he couldn't tell the reason.

The city gate between the middle city and the inner city is made of fine iron, and the door is carved with the portrait of a skull, a yin fire and a variety of yin beasts, the whole is pitch black, and the top of the door is lit with dark blue flames on both sides, which is extremely poignant compared with the dark and deep environment in this ghost city!

Jiang Lili exhaled loudly, and when he was about to push open the door, he suddenly saw the marks of a door scratching on the ground, and thought for a while, "The ghost shouldn't use this city gate, right?"

Wu Zhou said with a smile: "What are the ghosts doing with this gate? It is not long before passing through the city gate? This city gate is only used to show majesty, but it has no effect. Oh yes, this city gate can also play the role of isolating the yin qi, so that the rich yin qi in the inner city will not be lost to the middle city and the outer city, so that it is convenient for the ghost cultivation in the inner city, what's wrong? Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Jiang Lili was about to answer, but suddenly remembered that this matter didn't seem to have much to do with him, so he shook his head, said that it was okay, and asked casually.

Pushing open the city gate, I felt a strong yin qi shop

When the face came, Cheng Ru was shivering with cold. Miao Xiaomei hurriedly took out a few yellow talismans from her arms, muttered a few spells, and handed the yellow talisman to Cheng Rus.

Cheng Ru took it tremblingly, "What is this?"

"Something that can keep you off the intrusion of yin. Miao Xiaomei replied.

"How should I use this thing?" Cheng Ru took it, looking at the talisman over and over again but couldn't see any clues.

"Just stick it on top of your underwear," Miao Xiaomei replied, picking up another one and handing it to Jiang Lili as she spoke.

Jiang Lili glanced at it, "I don't need to." ”

Miao Xiaomei frowned, "Don't act rashly, if you have been invaded by yin qi for a long time, you will be weak and sick due to the loss of yang qi, and you will be unconscious and like a dead corpse, this is not a joke!"

Jiang Lili didn't feel any discomfort in her body, but she just felt a little cool, so she said, "Do you think I'm a girl like you?

Miao Xiaomei rarely didn't fight back, and after taking a closer look at Jiang Lili's face, she found that Jiang Lili was indeed not sick because of this rich yin qi, so she only thought that Jiang Lili had some strange treasure to resist the invasion of yin qi, so she said: "Don't forget it, I don't know the hearts of good people." ”

After hearing such a conversation, Wu Zhou turned his head slightly to look at Jiang Lili, and did not resume the conversation on this matter, but said: "Now that we have arrived in this inner city, this inner city is no better than the middle city." Although there are many ghosts in Midtown, they are all powerful ghosts with low intelligence. And in this inner city, there are all ghost cultivators, so you have to be careful about everything. ”

"In other words, they can understand people's words?" Cheng Ru, who had posted the talisman, turned ruddy, and said with a smile: "Then this will be easy to do, not to mention that they can make some deals with these ghost cultivators, at least they should not be like those ghosts who frantically pounce on me! Even if they pounce, maybe they can plead for mercy and say some good things, and they can spare their own lives!"

"Where are ghosts so good at talking?" Miao Xiaomei said.

"Where can't you talk well? Didn't these ghost cultivators still be human before? Everyone is human, why can't they talk well? Look at Wu Zhou, can't he also talk well?"

Jiang Lili was silent.

Wu Zhou glanced at Cheng Ru in a strange way.

After knowing that most of the ghosts in the ghost town were ghost cultivators with spiritual wisdom, Jiang Lili was a little embarrassed, but Cheng Ru was extremely happy.

That's the difference between the two.

Jiang Lili may feel that his thoughts are a little different from Cheng Ruyi's, but at this time, he just thinks that people who have no ability can only rely on these opportunistic little means to barely survive.

There is a deep well in the depths of the ghost town, and the darkness has covered this dry well, and it sinks like an abyss.

A tall figure came from a distance, with steady steps and a fluttering figure.

The man was dressed in a robe, and his face could not be seen clearly in the darkness, so he could only see a faint yellow light in his eyes.

He slowly walked to the side of the deep well, stood on top of the well, slowly squatted down and shouted, "Yiyun." ”

There was a sound from below, and a moment later I saw two green lights shining in the deep well.

The cold air spread from the bottom up, as if it wanted to freeze the half-inch sky above the wellhead!

"How's it going?" the man's tone was somewhat unclear.

There was a sound from below, laughter, a terrible laughter, and the whole dry well shook slightly in this laughter.

After laughing enough, a voice came from the bottom of the well, and the voice was extremely high-pitched, "What are you doing here?"

"What's wrong? Can't I come to visit you? The man squatting at the mouth of the well sighed, "When did you and I become like this?"

There was laughter at the bottom of the well, "Why do we have to be like this? Hehe, hahaha! Why are we going to be like this? Shouldn't you ask yourself that?"

"Ask myself? Yes, I should ask myself. But you see, I'm still who I used to be, and I've never changed. The man squatting at the mouth of the well spoke in a somewhat gentle tone.

"But I've changed, I've changed!"

Hysteria.

"You promised me back then, but after a thousand years! I have long been tormented by this boundless loneliness and become a madman! Haha, I am like a madman, I am already a madman!" After the madness, the voice below was shallow, leaving only the low cry of the thin silk, "Why don't you call me to die?"

"I'm going to succeed soon, Yiyun, I'm going to succeed soon, and then you can join me... "

A voice from the bottom of the well interrupted him, "Why don't you tell me to die?"

The man squatting at the mouth of the well was stunned, and after a while, he replied, "Shall I die with you then?"

There was no more talk from under the well.

After a while, the man at the wellhead said again: "I want to know what Zhang Jiuling came here to tell you and what he did?"

"Sure enough, you're here for this. You have long been carried away by your brain, the boundless spark has completely blinded you, you have long not known who you are, who are you?"

The man at the mouth of the well stood up, and he looked up at the sky, "Yes, I didn't know who I was for a long time. But I still remember you, Yiyun. ”

Below the bottom of the well, above the wellhead.

Speechless.
