All of a sudden, there were shouts, scolding, laughter, bargaining, everything seemed to confirm the prosperity of the town.

However, Deng An knew very well that these voices could only be heard by ghosts. Such a strange scene, even if he is a ghost, usually only to scare others, he can't help but stop, dare not go any further, and venture into the town.

After observing for nearly half an hour, he gradually discovered some problems, these people are different from ordinary people, too mechanical in walking, it seems that they are not living people, but beings like him, but strangely, each one has a complete corpse.

This is contrary to the common sense of ghosts, under normal circumstances, ordinary ghosts can only exist in the form of yin qi, and only by becoming a meditation practitioner can they transform into a human form based on their memories before death.

Of course, everything cannot be absolute, Huang Xingchu, that is, a middle-aged man who has become the main soul, once said that after the meditation reaches the rebirth period, you can refine the real body. And these ghosts in the town can't even meet the conditions for becoming a meditation cultivator, so how can they be a meditation cultivation above the rebirth period. In addition, ordinary ghosts cannot be stored in the physical body at all. Only meditation beyond the yin period can barely be saved, and it is based on the premise of paying a huge price. If you want to possess the body, you must make the soul core out of the soul body, and then you can store it, during this period, the soul core will face the situation of being erased and the soul body quickly dissolving, which is so dangerous and abnormal that no one will try it unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Zombie?!" However, Deng An quickly denied this inference. The condition for becoming a zombie is that there can be no sanity in the corpse, and these "people" in the town obviously do not have this condition, and their speech and behavior are no different from those of the world.

As long as it's not a high-level meditation cultivator, or a zombie, Deng An doesn't worry about safety. After a moment's hesitation, he walked again towards the town's main street.

As soon as he entered the town, Deng An only felt that the aura around him changed, and it was certain that the clouds that shrouded the sky over the town were either yin qi or spiritual energy.

For Deng An's appearance, there was an immediate reaction on the street. Some of the ghosts who saw him began to point quietly. However, after only a few moments, they lost interest and went about their own business.

The closer he got, the more Deng An could feel the strangeness of the town.

The eyes of the surrounding "pedestrians" are hollow and blank, like the walking dead. The seemingly lively transactions on the streets have not been completed, the ghosts are just shouting, the surrounding stalls are empty, and the restaurants, inns and other places are also in vain.

"Senior, you must be a newcomer to the ghost town, do you need Xiaoren to lead the way?"

Soon, a young man sitting idle near the entrance of the town found Deng An approaching, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he quickly greeted him.

Deng An saw that this person, like other walking corpses, was inhabited by a ghost, judging from the voice, the age was very consistent with the corpse, and he couldn't help but wonder a little, but the other party offered to lead the way, but he happened to inquire about the situation in the town: "Okay, you take me to find a place to live first." ”

"Okay, I'll take you to the best inn in town. Seeing that Deng An agreed, the young man became more enthusiastic and hurriedly led the way in front.

"This ...... You ......" Deng An paused, then remembered that he didn't know the young man's name yet, and he didn't know how to call it for a while.

The young man has been doing leading work in the town, so he is naturally very clever, guessed the reason, and said: "Senior, my name is Xiaoren, you can call me Xiaoren." ”

"Villain. Deng An couldn't help but be dumbfounded, this name is too distinctive.

Qingyi seems to be in this situation often, and then explained: "After the younger generation became a ghost, most of the memory was lost, and only the word Ren was remembered in the name. After arriving in the ghost town, because it was inconvenient to communicate without a name, the ghosts in the town called me Xiaoren. ”

"So you're from out of town?" said Deng An's tone was disappointed.

"The villain came to the ghost town three hundred years ago, belongs to a relatively early batch, and is the most familiar with the situation here, but you are definitely not looking for the wrong person. ”

Xiaoren hurriedly explained, for fear that the business would slip away.

"You came here three hundred years ago?!" Deng An was really shocked, which meant that the ghost in front of him had existed for at least three hundred years, but in his cognition, if an ordinary ghost failed to become a meditation cultivator, it would exist for three years at most.

"The predecessors misunderstood, the reason why I was able to survive for three hundred years is completely related to the environment here, once I leave the range of the ghost town, I will immediately be gone. ”

"There will be such miracles. Deng An was extremely surprised when he heard this, and the conversation with Xiaoren that followed made him even more shocked and could not be calmed down for a long time.

According to Xiaoren, this town appeared thousands of years ago.

I don't know what terrible plague it was infected, but all the townspeople died at the same time, and they all turned into very strange natural corpses. This is the ultimate reason why ordinary ghosts can inhabit it and still remain sane.

Three hundred years ago, Xiao Ren felt that his three-year life was coming to an end, so he came to the neighborhood to look for opportunities, and suddenly found this town, so he settled here. Because of the influence of a mysterious power, ordinary ghosts can survive in ghost towns for more than a thousand years.

However, Xiaoren paid the price of freedom for this.

The ghosts living in the ghost town can't leave the ghost town for half a step, and if they lose the protection of that mysterious power, they, along with the corpse refining, will instantly turn into nothingness. Moreover, they could not continue to absorb yin qi and advance to meditation.

Over the years, a large number of ghosts have amassed here. The corpses left behind in the ghost town are all occupied by the ghosts of each yin who are about to die. The long-term existence also leads to other problems, almost all the ghosts have nothing to do, how to pass the long years, they begin to imitate the scenes of the life of the secular town, each chooses his favorite profession, pretends to be a husband and wife, and forms a family to pass the boring time.

In the limited memory that Xiaoren retained, he remembered that he was a professional "tour guide", so he returned to his old business, specializing in receiving ghosts at the entrance of the ghost town.

"There are so many ghosts gathered in the ghost town, isn't there any idea for the ghost monks to fight here? We ghosts have no way, and if we don't prove them, they often only need to collect ghosts and transform them into yin qi, and they don't need to take the ghosts out alive. What's more, there are so many refining corpses here, which are also things that the monks covet. ”

"The predecessors don't know, the ghost town has a strong repulsion to foreign monks, the higher the repulsion, the greater the repulsion, and the same is true for meditation, you are now in the Yin period, just to be able to reach the inn, if you go to the center of the town, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it, and the meditation in the condensation period, at most, you can only go to the place where the villain receives you. ”

When Deng An heard this, he sensed it carefully, and sure enough, as they walked forward, there was a faint repulsive force imposed on them, but this force did not seem to be as exaggerated as Xiao Ren said, and according to this change in intensity, it was completely possible to go to the center of the town.

However, Deng An did not take this "little thing" to heart.

In Deng An's opinion, Xiao Ren is not a meditation cultivator, and he definitely can't accurately know the feelings of meditation, and in order to add some weight to the topic, he probably exaggerated it.

"Since meditation cultivators like me can come in, there is no one left to make trouble?" Deng An remembered Yin Heirong, and Huang Xingchu had also said that in order to improve their own cultivation, some meditation cultivators did not hesitate to risk going mad and devouring other ghost cultivators.

"This has happened before. I heard that two hundred years ago, there was an evil cultivator who saw a large number of ghosts here, so he came up with the idea of refining them and then devouring them to increase their cultivation. However, after devouring some ghosts, this meditation did not improve his cultivation, and when he left the ghost town, he turned into invisible, just like the ghosts who lived here and refined corpses. Since then, there has been no idea of meditating here. Xiao Ren said this, and added: "The biggest threat to the ghosts in the town is those mortals. ”

"How can mortals threaten the ghosts of the town?"

"Among the mortals, there are some people who specialize in subduing ghosts and eliminating demons, and they can easily hurt us with their half-hung spells, and we can only drive the corpse refining to deal with them, but the corpse refining is not our body after all, and the flexibility is far inferior to theirs. In this case, it is often those who win in the end. If it weren't for Mayor Chen, I'm afraid I would have died at their hands. Xiaoren sighed in his heart and sighed helplessly.

"Mayor Chen, he's also a meditation cultivator?"

"Yes, senior! It's just that the ghost town is not suitable for spiritual cultivation, and Mayor Chen will occasionally come over to take a look to prevent those mortals from making trouble, and he will not stay in the town for a long time. ”

The two walked and chatted, and gradually came to the door of an inn.

Deng An looked up, and there was a pair of big red lanterns hanging in front of the inn, and there was a ghostly ghost fire flickering inside, which made him a little confused, how could ordinary ghosts release ghost fire?

Xiao Ren, who was good at observing words and feelings, immediately guessed what Deng An thought: "These ghost fires are all left by the meditation cultivators who came to stay here. Because all the services in the ghost town are free, these seniors often help store some in order to show their gratitude before leaving. ”

Deng An suddenly understood that the ghost town was probably the most selfless town in the world, and all the ghosts were providing voluntary services, and anyone who enjoyed this treatment would have something to say, and they couldn't help but start thinking about whether they had to leave something before leaving.

"Wenda, this senior Deng passed by our ghost town and wanted to stay in the town, so I will leave it to you to receive you, don't slack off. When Xiao Ren arrived at the door of the inn, he immediately explained to the doorman in charge of reception, and then said goodbye to Deng An, and went to the entrance of the ghost town.

Deng An was a little embarrassed to see him so selfless. In fact, Xiao Ren's hard work to guide the way was not completely to pass the time, he was still a little cautious, but he didn't dare to mention it to Deng An, for fear that it would make Deng An unhappy.

Xiao Ren knows a secret that most of the ghosts in the town don't know, they are not completely trapped in the ghost town, but there is still a chance to escape, which requires the help of meditation, but how to help him is not clear. For the sake of this very slim opportunity, it is always not wrong to make some meditation practices, and maybe one day it will bring him an opportunity.
