Chapter XXVII

As written in all the dramas, Jiang Lili did not ask for any news about the underworld from the mouth of the ghost mother, otherwise it would be difficult for the plot to develop with ups and downs.

Therefore, Tianfu still has to go to it.

Bought a new carriage, this day Jiang Lili and Cheng Ru two people drove the carriage to stay in the field, the sky was already dark, it was not suitable to continue the journey, so they found a relatively clean grass here to rest.

Fortunately, it is now close to June, and the weather in the Southern Dynasty is much warmer than that of the Great Sui, so there is no wind chill when sleeping outside.

It's just that Cheng Ru still has some heart palpitations, he actually doesn't like to sleep in the wild, nothing else, he is a little afraid that after falling asleep at night, he will feel that there is a ghost baby lying on his face.

Even a fist-sized bug can be terrifying!

He was very active in lighting a pair of bonfires, and Cheng Ru made up his mind that he would live on this bonfire this night.

After thinking about it, Cheng Ru was still a little unclear about why Jiang Lili had to go to the ghost town to find out the motive of the news, rubbed his hands, and asked: "Jiang Lili, why do we have to go to the ghost town? What is so interesting about the ghost town, just a ghost mother makes the two of us helpless, and I can't say that we will meet more powerful ghosts in the ghost town, and we will not be miserable at that time? If you want me to say, let's just find a few more people outside and ask if it will be done? Do you have to go to the ghost town? Is there something that the ghost knows and the person does not know?" ”

"What do you know?" Jiang Lili snorted coldly: "It is necessary to go to the ghost town to find out the news, otherwise we will not be confused after entering the underworld?"

"I see, I don't know if it's a ghost. Cheng Ru muttered twice, and was about to add firewood to the bonfire, when he suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Lili with a shocked expression, "What did you just say?"

"That's right, didn't I tell you that we were going to the underworld on this trip?" Jiang Lili snatched the firewood from Cheng Ru is hand and threw it into the fire.

"Jiang Lili, you're not sick, are you?!"

"You're sick!"

Cheng Ru waved his hand and said, "No, I mean you have nothing to do in the underworld? You may not know about that place, but I've read a lot of books! It's full of ghosts, the kind that kills people without blinking, and you can meet thousands of ghosts when you walk half a mile, what are you going to do there? It's not fun!"

"Find someone!"

"Looking for someone?" Cheng Ru frowned, "Who are you looking for?"

"You have a lot of things to do!" Jiang Lili turned his face to look at Cheng Rus, "Otherwise, you will go back to find your Miss Ji, or you will follow me and talk nonsense to me here!"

"Look at you, don't I just tell you, what do you think you are blushing?" Cheng Ru muttered, "That is, I have a good temper, if I am someone else, who would be willing to walk with you for such a long time to walk around here." ”

Jiang Lili sneered: "I don't care if you have a good temper, you were crying and shouting to go out with me, could it be that I forced you to come with a knife on your neck?"

Hearing Jiang Lili's words, Cheng Ru remembered when he was drunk that day in Qionghu, and wondered if he was talking nonsense after getting drunk?

He shuddered, and when he turned his head, he saw a pale face looking at him and smiling.

Wow, with a scream, Cheng Ru jumped up, and was about to hide behind Jiang Lili when he saw Jiang Lili smiling at him, and then he reacted, wasn't the miserable white face next to him Wu Zhou's?

Cheng Ru still had some palpitations about Wu Zhou, but he knew that Wu Zhou didn't have much malice towards him, so he pouted, "Jiang Lili, you're not interesting enough, how long do you have to play this trick?"

Along the way, Jiang Lili really scared Wu Zhou, and Cheng Ru no less than ten times.

"I know you've been playing for so long, and you're still taking the bait? Isn't this a joke for people to see you?" Wu Zhou smiled, his figure was circling in the air, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Lili, "Why did you call me out so suddenly?"

"What about the ghost mother?" Jiang Lili asked casually.

"Doesn't she look like she's going to die? She didn't pay any attention to talking to her, just looking at her eight ghost babies all day long, and turned her head to stare at me when she looked at it, eager to swallow me into her stomach. ”

"Can you still talk in that ghost bag?" Cheng Ru leaned over and asked.

"What's this? There is a space in the ghost raising bag, and it must be able to speak!" Wu Zhou replied: "Jiang Lili's ghost raising bag is quite small, only the size of a room. The ghost keeper of the Jin Ming Dao people is really a big baby, there are two or three Yangzhou-sized spaces in it, and there are tens of thousands of ghosts in it. ”

Saying that, Wu Zhou's eyes were a little sluggish, there was a trace of jealousy in his eyes, and he suddenly lowered his head and sighed long, "Forget it, it doesn't mean anything to say this, Jiang Lili, aren't you looking for me just for this thing?"

"Naturally not. Jiang Lili pulled the fire, "Now that we are not far from Tianfu, look at it, are you familiar with the environment around here?"

Hearing Jiang Lili's words, Wu Zhou turned his face to look left and right, frowning slightly, "It's okay if you don't say it, I really feel a little familiar when you say this." ”

Saying that, Wu Zhou pointed to a small mountain bag behind him and said: "The terrain here seems to be somewhat similar to when my family brought me here more than ten years ago, I remember that there are three mountain bags in that area." Next to it is a small grove with a pavilion in the middle of it. That's when my family took me through that pavilion into the ghost town. ”

Jiang Lili raised his eyebrows, picked up a burning firewood from the fire, held it in front of him, and squinted slightly, "There is a mountain bag, but there seems to be no forest next to it, but it looks like a wasteland." I didn't see a pavilion either, maybe you made a mistake?"

"Maybe, after all, I've only appeared here once with my family, and I must be right, but I don't know if it's because the terrain here is somewhat similar to the place where the ghost town was located at the time, which makes me feel familiar. Wu Zhou rose slightly into the sky, looked left and right, and said: "It's just that I haven't seen any familiar places all the way from that village to here, and Kankan is about to go to Tianfu, could it be that the place has disappeared out of thin air?"

Jiang Lili thought for a while and asked, "At that time, whether you and that adult in your family would go to Tianfu?"

"It's impossible, I'm not stupid, I'm outside the city or inside the city, I can still tell the difference. Wu Zhou said with a smile.

Cheng Ru suddenly asked, "You said you were last time."

You came here 10 years ago?"

"That's right, more than ten years ago, to be exact!"

Cheng Ru said in his stomach and said, "The vicissitudes of the sea, maybe that grove has become a wasteland, maybe that pavilion has been leveled?"

"That's the reason," Wu Zhou thought for a while, "Then let's go over and have a look?"

Jiang Lili nodded, told Cheng Ru to take care of the carriage, and followed Wu Zhou and the others to the wasteland.

The two places were not far apart, and it was only a stick of incense that Jiang Lili and Wu Zhou had already arrived in that wasteland. Originally, I couldn't see clearly by the moonlight, but I thought that the moonlight here was brighter, but when I walked in front of me, I found that this wasteland was actually unrecognizable!

Wu Zhou looked left and right, frowned and said, "This place is indeed the spread of some yin qi, which is much more vigorous than other places, so there is no grass growing in this place." But it has not reached the concentration of yin qi that can grow shade plants and trees, so it has such an appearance. ”

Jiang Lili nodded, and was walking, when he suddenly tripped over something and almost fell, and turned his head to see that it was a dry tree root.

Raising his head to look at Wu Zhou, Wu Zhou squatted down and touched the root of the tree, "It's been dead for about four or five years." ”

Turning his head to look again, Jiang Lili said: "There are indeed many tree stumps exposed on the ground around here, presumably this was indeed a small forest before, so isn't this place where you used to be?"

Wu Zhou nodded and then shook his head, "Not necessarily, then you have to see if there is a pavilion here." ”

After walking deeper and half a pillar of incense, he saw a big pit suddenly appear on the ground, Jiang Lili paused before this big pit, brought the torch in front of him and looked at it, and found that there were quite a lot of wooden blocks in the soil, and there were traces of whitewash on the wooden blocks.

"Look no further, this is the place where I entered the ghost town. Wu Zhou picked up a piece of wood from the dirt, and there was a not very bright mark on the wood, "I remember that this mark was on the pavilion at that time." The adults explained to me the origin of this mark, so I was very impressed. ”

Jiang Lili nodded, and asked again, "Can you feel that the ghost town is still here now?"

Wu Zhou dropped the piece of wood, "Don't think about it, that ghost city must have moved to other places with the movement of the Yin Cave, and the Yin Qi at that time is not comparable to today." ”

"Isn't that now that we have reached the Heavenly Mansion?"

Wu Zhou nodded solemnly, "I just don't know why this Korean monarch wants to bring this ghost city to Tianfu, won't the yin qi damage the fortune of the country? Could it be that there is some conspiracy?"

"It's done, let's go, we will be able to go to Tianfu in two days tomorrow. No matter how big the conspiracy is, it's none of my business, I'm just going into the ghost town and asking for directions," Jiang Lili turned his head and walked two steps, suddenly remembering something, and turned his head and asked: "I remember that the village used to be the location of the Yin Cave, but it was here when you entered the ghost town more than ten years ago?"

"More than ten years ago, the yin cave has been moved here, because the movement of the crypt cannot be too fast, otherwise it will damage the fortune of the country, so at least two hundred years ago, someone began to control the movement of this acupuncture point. Wu Zhou muttered to himself, and suddenly said, "Do you know how long the Korean monarch has been in power?"
