Chapter 16: The Strange and Flashy City

A huge city loomed at the end of the horizon, and the black walls lay like a long dragon on the ground, stretching for dozens of miles.

"Whew, it's finally here. The little white-faced Yan Zhen sat on the horse's back and exhaled.

The group stopped at the city gates.

As soon as Wei Shisan was about to speak and urge a few people to enter, he saw that everyone except him had solemn faces and a heavy atmosphere.

"Hey, what's going on?" Wei Shisan asked Yan Zhen next to him in a low voice, he didn't understand why he didn't go in when he got to the place.

Yan Zhen glanced at him sideways, and that gaze was like looking at a fool, "Didn't you notice anything wrong?"

"What's ......?" Wei Shisan's voice stopped abruptly, and he suddenly realized that there was no sound in this flashy city, and he didn't see a single figure, as if it was a dead city without popularity.

Logically speaking, this is the time when the city should be lively, but now it is empty, there must be something.

Wei Shisan glanced up at an octagonal bronze mirror hanging above the city gate, facing the city gate, a gossip pattern carved on the bronze mirror shone brightly, exuding a heroic righteousness.

"It's weird, there is nothing wrong with the gossip mirror here, it stands to reason that there should be no demons entering the city, and there is no smell of blood." Huo Tong looked at the bronze mirror above the city gate thoughtfully, his thick eyebrows squeezed together.

"Let's go, let's go in anyway. Just when Huo Tong hesitated, Yan Qingzhao's clear voice came out of the canopy, which immediately gave everyone a backbone.

Huo Tong answered, the carriage moved, Wei Shisanyan Zhen pulled the reins in his hands, and the group headed towards the Fuhua City.

The wide street is large enough for four or five horse-drawn carriages to travel side by side, and the streets are lined with tall and spacious commercial buildings, which are lined up one after another, leading to the end of the view.

However, at this time, there was no figure in all the shops, and after entering the Fuhua City, Yan Qingzhao jumped out of the carriage, and the rest of the people also dismounted.

Huo Tong's gaze swept vigilantly from the surroundings, and he turned to the other three guards and said, "Be careful, it's too weird here." ”

The four of them quietly surrounded Wei Thirteen and the three people in the middle, Huo Tong walked in the front, Zhang Shizhong was on the left, Li Yuantong was on the right, and Feng Sihai was behind.

Wei Shisan looked at the surrounding shops with interest, the buildings here are different from Qinglin Town, there are not many bricks and tiles, most of them are built of wood, they are very exquisite, not comparable to the small places in Qinglin Town.

Call!

A gust of wind blew, and a big red lantern rolled out of the side of the street and stopped in the middle of the street, blocking everyone's way.

The four guards were like facing a great enemy, and in an instant, the scimitar was already unsheathed and held in their hands, and after a few breaths, there was no movement, and the four breathed a sigh of relief and put the scimitar back into the scabbard at their waists.

Yan Qingzhao's moth eyebrows frowned, "Maybe there is a demon entering this small city, I feel a demonic aura," The cuffs of the wide gold-inlaid purple robe slipped down, revealing a lotus-like arm, and at some point a round mirror similar to the gossip mirror on the city gate appeared in his hand, which was smaller in size, but it looked more exquisite.

"Demons?" Wei Shisan muttered quietly, he only knew that there were demons in this world, but he had really never seen what demons looked like when he was so big, but he thought it should be very scary.

Huo Tong pondered for a moment and hesitated: "Miss, but I just saw that the gossip mirror on the city gate is still intact, it doesn't look like a demon has broken in." ”

"It should be that the gossip mirror on the city gate is no longer effective against this demon. Yan Qingzhao put away the round mirror in his hand and realized that things were not so simple.

"Ah, is it that kind of big demon?" Yan Zhen was shocked, if he could avoid the gossip mirror, he must be that kind of demon with terrifying strength.

Yan Qingzhao and Huo Tong didn't speak, they acquiesced in Yan Zhen's words, and everyone's hearts were shrouded in a layer of gloom, they didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing just after they came out of the town.

Wei Shisan, who originally wanted to ask something, looked at everyone's serious expressions and held back the words back into his stomach, knowing that they might face a terrifying demon.

"Miss, why don't we quit Flashy City and take a detour?" Huo Tong opened his mouth to break the heavy atmosphere.

"No way!"

Before Yan Qingzhao could speak, Yan Zhen had already grabbed the front and opened his mouth, and then said in a loud voice: "Commander Huo, this is the life of the people of a city, can we just leave like this?"

Yan Qingzhao waved his hand to stop Yan Zhen from continuing, and said, "Let's look for survivors first." ”

Yan Zhen smiled on his face, knowing that his aunt was preparing to meddle in this matter when he said this.

Huo Tong sighed and did not speak. He knew that his young lady had the same temperament, and even when his master came, he couldn't change it, so he could only make up his mind to protect the two masters.

......

Wei Shisan and his entourage shuttled through the streets and alleys, looking for countless households, but they didn't find a single figure, except for the person who was gone, everything else was still in order, without any trace of fighting, as if these people had disappeared out of thin air.

Suddenly, Wei 13 found that all the other people who were walking beside him were gone, leaving him alone in the empty alley.

"Yan Zhen, Commander Huo, where are you?"

Wei 13 shouted at the top of his voice, faintly feeling a little uneasy.

The shouts lingered in the empty alley, but no one answered Wei Shisan.

Wei Shisan tore off the wooden sword behind his back and held it in his hand, only then did he feel that he was safe.

Wei Shisan took steps and began to shuttle through the alley to look for Yan Zhen and the others who were scattered, and walked for several hours, looking for most of the small city but did not find any trace of Yan Zhen and them.

After walking for too long, I felt a little tired, and then I found myself back on the wide street where I had just entered the city, and found a place to sit down.

"People, where did they go, how did they all disappear out of thin air. Wei 13 sat on the steps, frowned and began to think.

All the people in the city disappeared, and he and Yan Zhen came in together, and they also disappeared, Wei Shisan faintly felt that something was wrong, and he didn't come up with a clue after thinking about it for a long time.

"Gollum"

After sitting for a long time, Wei Shisan's stomach rang, he nibbled on a steamed bun today, and he should naturally be hungry for such a long time.

Wei Shisan turned his head and looked at the surrounding shops, there was really a shop called Qingyun Noodle Restaurant, got up from the ground, and entered Qingyun Noodle Restaurant with a wooden sword.

After making a fire and cooking noodles by himself, Wei Shisan walked out of the back kitchen with a bowl of steaming noodles, put a bunch of beef in the noodle bowl, put it on the table, and gobbled it up.

At this moment, a voice as pleasant as vocal music came through the door.

"Big brother, can you make me a bowl of noodles?"
