Chapter 36: Midtown
This weirdness is hidden everywhere in the ghost town, wisps of cooking smoke are rising from the room where no one is around, the lame rag doll is hanging under the eaves, and the corpse of the black cat is hanging quietly on the window, and the black cat's body slowly emits strange green smoke.
Jiang Lili kicked away a broken gong blocking the road, turned his head to look at a gloomy house next to him, and asked, "Are these houses for ghosts?"
Wu Zhou replied: "Sort of, many ghosts are probably hidden in this house to cultivate in a secluded environment. But ghosts don't need a house to shelter themselves from the wind and rain. ”
The sound of footsteps caused a very clear echo in this quiet alley, Jiang Lili glanced at the room next to him, his eyes passed through the broken window hole, and saw that the house was messily placed with tables and chairs, and even some teapots and other things, so he asked again: "But why is there so much furniture in this ghost town? If ghosts just need a quiet place to cultivate, then what do they need so many useless things for?"
Wu Zhou smiled bitterly, "That's not what I said, except for the yin and evil things that are born and raised, most of the ghosts are the remnants of the soul and resentment after death, just like me, although I don't need a bed, no need to drink water, no need for tables and chairs, but there are some thoughts in my heart after all." ”
At the end, Wu Zhou pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's like falling leaves returning to their roots, if ghosts only wander between heaven and earth, they only feel as if they have been abandoned by heaven and earth. If you have a house that can shelter from the wind and rain, if you have these furniture that you used in your life, you will feel at ease, and you will know that you still have a home, and you are also a person when you are alive. "
"Homesickness is the same thing. Wu Zhou squinted his eyes and smiled.
Jiang Lili thought for a while, he raised his head to look at the hazy sky above the ghost city, and listened to the cold wind blowing around, and for the first time felt that Wu Zhou's words touched the depths of his heart.
Shaking his head, these chaotic thoughts of his own were thrown out of his mind, and Jiang Lili followed behind Wu Zhou and continued to walk ahead.
"The further you go, the more yin qi will be, as a living person you must feel a little uncomfortable, maybe there will be a lot of anger and resentment between heaven and earth rushing into your sea of consciousness, devouring your mind, so you have to concentrate and calm your energy, don't let these things cause your mind to lose control. Jiang Lili listened to what Wu Zhou said, but she didn't feel anything unusual in this thick yin qi, and even felt a little comfortable.
It's like finally lying in bed and falling asleep after a long day.
It's just that Jiang Lili is not surprised, he just thinks that it is because of his own strength, which is why this yin qi cannot cause much damage to himself.
Turning his head and glancing at Jiang Lili's face, Wu Zhou was a little surprised, in fact, he had never asked Jiang Lili about it.
Originally, when he was in Luoyang, he was about to kill Jiang Lili several times, but countless powerful ghosts suddenly appeared in Jiang Lili's body, and the scarlet pupils made him even more frightened.
He didn't know Jiang
Is it because of her physique or something else, but she didn't ask about it in a nutshell. Now seeing Jiang Lili's uncomfortable expression that he was not in the encroachment of Yin Qi at all, Wu Zhou suddenly remembered this matter again, opened his mouth but did not open his mouth to ask, only shook his head, and said a word in his heart.
Everyone has their own secrets, and everyone has their own blessings!
Wu Zhou thought about it for a while and didn't dwell on this matter anymore, and reminded: "Although there are many fewer ghosts in this ghost town than ten years ago, it should be that most of the ghosts have left this ghost town and have gone to South Korea to make trouble. And the ghosts who only dared to hide on the edge of the ghost town to survive must have run to the center of the ghost town. Therefore, don't think that the ghosts of the ghost town are only the ability of the ghosts you have just seen, if you go to the center of the ghost city, you must not see the powerful ghosts of the Nine Sons Ghost Mother!"
Jiang Lili frowned, he had always been very worried about things beyond his strength, so he asked, "What is the appearance of the nine sons and ghost mothers in the ghost raising bag now?"
"That ghost mother has recovered most of it, but she has different intentions and will not be willing to use it for you," Wu Zhou smiled bitterly, "Maybe she will find an opportunity to fight back against you." “
Jiang Lili glanced at Wu Zhou, and suddenly asked, "By the way, I didn't know that the ghosts in the ghost cultivator could also eat the master, why didn't you fight against me?"
Wu Zhou bared his teeth and grinned, "Do you think I don't want to fight back against you? Just let you be bullied? Originally, when I was in Luoyang, the strength of my Dragon Elephant Realm was beaten down to the third mountain by you and that Zhang Wei, and after recovering for so long, I am only the peak of the fourth mountain, but I am afraid that I will not be able to reach the fifth mountain in my lifetime." There's no capital to fight back at all!"
Jiang Lili sneered again: "Isn't there another ghost mother? There must be a chance for the two of you to join forces, aren't you tempted?"
Wu Zhou shrugged his shoulders, "How can I say it? I won't have much benefit after I attack you, and if I ask Zhang Wei to catch him later, then there will really be no way to be a ghost, and I will definitely be beaten and scattered! Besides, even if I am not caught by Zhang Wei, where can I go in the future? The last piece of spiritual soil in my original hand that can be made into a thin skin bag was also thrown into the dragon by you to raise that big python, so I can only hide in the dark and be a lonely ghost? Come on, I might as well stay here, at least someone will chat with me from time to time. ”
Jiang Lili smiled, and he said, "You can go to the underworld, won't you be able to be a ghost with peace of mind when you get there?"
Wu Zhou also smiled, "Aren't I on my way to the underworld right now?"
Jiang Lili shook his head self-deprecatingly, and at this time, Wu Zhou said with a little worry: "No matter what kind of ghost raising device will spontaneously absorb the yin qi outside, so now that you are in a ghost town, the yin qi is strong, and the yin qi in the ghost raising bag will also become heavier, maybe the ghost mother is already taking the opportunity to recover her strength, I'm afraid it won't be long before it will... ”
"Call her here," Jiang Lili casually killed a yin spirit that attacked from the side, and asked, "By the way, the ghost thing has the master."
What are the pros and cons?" "The advantage is nothing more than to be able to regain freedom, and the disadvantage is great, if the counterattack fails, it will definitely be beaten by the master, and the light will be knocked down to the realm, and the worst will be the loss of life!" Wu Zhou replied: "By the way, there is another important thing, that is, the ghost devouring master only has one chance in total! If it fails, there will be no chance of any counterattack." ”
"Isn't that the people who raise ghosts are waiting for the ghosts to eat themselves?
Wu Zhou said with a smile: "That's not the truth, there will indeed be no more backlash after the ghost backlash, but you don't know how big the risk is after being backlashed." Because you can only fight back once, and after defeat, you will be largely gone, so the ghost devourer will choose an appropriate time, either your own strength is much stronger than the master, or when you are half-dead and have no way to fight back, this is really nine deaths!"
Jiang Lili's face was slightly heavy, and after a while, he exhaled and changed the subject, "How long will we have to walk to get to the center of that ghost town?"
Wu Zhou was stunned, "Maybe it will take a few more days." ”
"A few days?!" Jiang Lili's eyes widened in surprise, "But I don't think this ghost town is that big when I look at it from the rooftop!"
"You know the mirage, looking at the mirage in the past, it was only the size of a palm, but inside it was a mountain!" Wu Zhou slapped away an eyeless ghost with one paw, "Looking at the ghost city from the outside is actually the same as a mirage, although it is not big, but you can only find out what is in it when you enter this ghost city! Let's put it this way, do you remember the sword mound when you were in Luoyang? The sword mound looks like a white bead the size of a fist to outsiders! But inside is a heavy world! Although the ghost town is not as good as this secret realm, it is roughly the same. ”
Jiang Lili pursed her lips, thinking to herself when she should go? Fortunately, there is a Wu Zhou by her side, who knows the route, otherwise she may have to rely on her own words to go to when! Thinking about it, she thought of Cheng Ru is guy, and I don't know if Cheng Ru is that guy is still alive.
After walking for about two or three hours, I saw another city gate appear in front of me, and the city gate was painted with all kinds of ghosts and ghosts, which were extremely vicious.
Wu Zhou stood still, looked at the city gate and said to Jiang Lili: "This ghost city is divided into the outer city, the middle city, the inner city and the ghost hall, the whole is a 'Hui' shaped division, there is a city gate from outside the city to enter the outer city, and there is a city gate between the outer city and the middle city, and between the middle city and the inner city. Because the ghosts are out of the world, there are no rules at all, but the law of the naked law of the jungle, and now we are about to enter the middle city, which is no better than the outer city, and I am afraid that it is only a ghost like a cloud! ”
Before Wu Zhou finished speaking, he saw Jiang Lili smile and kick open the city gate suddenly.
Before his body entered the middle city, he slashed into the middle city with a fierce devouring ghost!
Even if there is a terrible howl in the sky!
Wu Zhou was dumbfounded, grandma's, the clouds can't hold it! This kid really doesn't play cards according to common sense!
