3. Ghost City 3

At night, the stars are like a river.

The terrain in the west is high, and the stars seem to be plucked by their hands.

But neither sunlight nor starlight can penetrate this ghostly city.

From time to time, there were a few cries of fear, and inexplicable cries, as well as strange crashing and smashing noises.

In fact, when the fog reaches the warm house, it will naturally dilute down, so it does not affect the residents' cooking, but if you want to go out of the door, if you don't have a rope to tie the doors and windows, you can't find your way back.

Inside the Xia family manor.

The island in the middle of the lake, where the Jackdaw Pavilion was originally located, has been converted into a cemetery, where almost all the people of the Xia family are buried, regardless of whether the clan is separated.

Except for a few who were still outside, they were all asleep.

The island is surrounded by lakes, and the water vapor is already strong, and it is impossible to see at night.

The original wooden houses of the Jackdaw Court killers on the island in the middle of the lake have long since disappeared, leaving only a small wooden house at the entrance, which was kept by the little crow himself.

On the undulating terrain of the island, there are densely inserted tombstones, which vary in size and length, and even all of them are empty tablets, without a word on them, and there is no mention of the name and status of the deceased during his lifetime.

After a person dies, it's just a pinch of loess.

In this regard, Xia Ren did not mind.

He was amazed at how efficiently the little crow built the cemetery.

Feeling the smell of blood and rot that had faded in the air, his mood was still beginning to turn cloudy.

When the little crow came over excitedly and asked to live in the only wooden house in the cemetery in the middle of the lake, he readily agreed.

Night.

The dining table was replaced by a large table.

The new head of the Xia family, the younger brother of the head of the family, and the four villains gathered at the table.

The original round table was too small, so a few people brought a larger one from the rest of the attic, and the table was now full of all kinds of delicacies.

If he hadn't known that his younger brother had been soaking in the kitchen all afternoon, Xia Ren would have thought that he went to a restaurant to buy it directly.

The atmosphere is still quite weird.

Until the head of the Xia family raised his chopsticks and said, "Eat." ”

The four evildoers began to do it.

At the end of the meal, Yiye Lian and the bloody hand quietly arched the big-headed girl sitting between them.

Only then did he reluctantly speak: "That... Childe, Sister Bloody Hand wants to move to the ice cellar, and Yiye Lian wants to have a small courtyard of her own. ”

"Well, it's okay to have a separate small courtyard, the big one in the manor, you pick it yourself. Xia Ren didn't care, he leaned in the opposite direction. A bloodshot flash flashed across the faceless woman, and she nodded her head lightly in gratitude.

"As for the ice cellar?" Xia Ren wondered, "Du Yan, what are you doing in the ice cellar?"

The bloody hand didn't dare to speak, so he arched the big-headed girl on the side with his long legs.

"Childe... Don't be angry. Woo blinked cautiously.

"You say. Xia Ren snorted softly.

Wow...

"Childe forgive me!" The bloody hand suddenly left his seat with a "bang", and knelt down with a plop.

Yiye Lian, who was sitting next to her, also stood up coldly, and then the three of them knelt together.

What kind of routine is this?

But Xia Ren's expression remained unchanged, and he just said lightly: "Thirteenth aunt, you say." ”

"Hmm" He nodded, straightened his thoughts and whispered, "When the little crow buried the corpse, the skin of the face was cut off by a leaf lotus, and the heart was taken away by Sister Bloody Hand, so it won't be wasted... We've always been like this. ”

"Hey, it's a pity that the little worm mother is not here, otherwise there are so many good heads, and they are all martial arts practitioners, and they can cultivate a lot of insect nests for her. ”

"Childe, aren't you angry. He looked at his nephew's eyes in a low voice, and when something was wrong, he began to kowtow desperately.

I was able to run when I first met before.

But in this Red Leaf City, which has been transformed into a ghost town, where can you go?

Xia Ren was a little speechless, but he didn't have much affection for the people of the Xia family. Although these people don't know how they died, they are also members of the Xia family, and they should still be buried in their duty.

He hesitated.

At this time, the little crow suddenly pointed to the woman in blue who was lying flat on the bed, and said, "Aunt is in a dream because of yin qi and can't wake up. ”

Natsuhito turned to look at her and nodded for her to continue.

"People with weak constitutions are easily affected by the Yin Soul Stone. ”

"Oh Kuo showed me that piece of jade, I can conclude that it's not just a Yin Soul Stone, but..."The little crow seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said lightly, "It's the Soul Jade!"

"Although jade can maintain health, it can also be psychic, which can be described as a sword with two edges. Such a jade will not only accumulate a large amount of yin qi, but can even radiate some resentment of the deceased, and lead people into nightmares and cannot wake up. ”

"So what?" said Xia Ren, frowning.

The little crow said, "I can save my aunt..."

Just when Xia Ren thought she was going to put forward some conditions, the little crow walked straight to the bed of the woman in blue, but her face was covered by black hair, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"My aunt has a deep cold, and her resentment is in her soul. It will take me a month to get my aunt safe. ”

Xia Ren squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "Okay! It's just that if she can't wake up in a month, you know the consequences." ”

The little crow's voice did not rise or fall without any fluctuations, "A word is a certainty." ”

"It's a deal. ”

Xia Ren ate two mouthfuls of food, turned his head to look at the thirteenth aunt who was kneeling on the ground, Bloody Hand and shameless and said: "You all get up, in the future, Bloody Hand will live in the ice cellar, remember to separate a separate cave, after all, the food at home is in it." ”

"Yiye Lian, since you need a courtyard, the place where the Red Dyeing Pavilion was originally dedicated to the disciples of the sect to take on tasks will be given to you to live in. The place where the family takes the task is too simple, and the place where the killer takes the task is too simple.

And, I have also seen the place of the Zongjia, among which there are thirteen stone pillars surrounded by four people, each stone pillar has one hundred and eight grooves, from bottom to top, in a spiral shape.

It used to be a place to store quest items, but now it's a good place to put those human skin masks and weird things for you. ”

The young man thought for a while and said, "I'm the patriarch now, so the original four attics will be abolished." And since the three of you have joined my Xia family, then you will all give your place of residence a name, and we will change the plaque another day, which can be regarded as a new home and new atmosphere. ”

He smiled and said, "Then please give the name of the patriarch." ”

Xia Ren waved his hand and said, "Name your own residence." ”

The three of them looked at each other and exchanged information through eye contact.

Seeing that there was no objection to each other, it was obvious that the city shrouded in ghost fog had a lot of attraction to them who liked the dark exercises.

What's more, there are legendary-level enemies outside.

It is indeed a good choice to settle here.

So the bloody hand smiled and said, "The Red Face Immortal Grotto!"

The little crow said gloomily: "The place where bones are buried!"

Yiye Lotus said with a colorless face: "The courtyard of black and white!"

Xia Ren's heart jumped, and his gaze slowly scanned over the three of them who were quite happy.

He can see that these three are hidden dark talents...

"Childe, are you not satisfied?" Seeing that the beautiful young man was silent, he couldn't help but ask.

Xia Ren smiled faintly and said, "The name is good, so let's decide." ”
