Jiajing Spiritual Records

In front of that majestic ghost city, there is a moat flowing, the river water exudes a foul smell, and a narrow wooden bridge is built on the river.The crowd was driven onto the bridge, Ning Huan glanced quietly under the bridge, his round eyes slightly widened, and there were many mutilated human limbs floating above the dark water.On the side of the river near Ning Huan, half of a human hand was floating, the bones were exposed, and there was a circle of deep tooth marks on it. A few black shadows flew by occasionally under the water, and Ning Huan hurriedly leaned in in shock.

The ghost city was at the end of the bridge. Ning Huan licked his chapped lips and stared at the city gate which was nearly two feet high. He didn't know what was hidden behind it.At this time, I heard a dull sound, and the city gate opened a crack.

There was a "rolling" sound as the wheels rolled against the ground, and a black figure walked out of the city gate.She was staggering, and was pushing a huge wooden cart with a large wooden barrel on top of it.

"Roller wheeler" The sound of the wheels scraping the ground became more and more clear in my ears, and the figure walked towards the bridge.It was a skinny old woman, wearing only a thin black shirt. The deep vertical and horizontal stripes made her look more like an old monkey. Her body was curled up against the taller than her. Behind the wooden barrel, only a pair of vicious eyes were left observing the surroundings like poisonous snakes.

"Dead again? How many batches is this already?" Ning Huan suddenly asked when he heard the head of a ghost messenger next to him.

"It's already the second batch." The old woman replied.Her voice was very unpleasant, like the harsh creaking sound of a dilapidated old waterwheel.

The old woman's wooden cart was pushed to the edge of the bridge, and she took down the boxy wooden barrel on top with one hand. Strong rancid smell.

"The people in front are still easy to use. These few, they will lose their breath in a few days." The old woman sighed, "There are fewer and fewer people sent outside."

"Hey! This is brought to you again." The ferocious face showed a pleasing smile, Ning Huan frowned, and couldn't help but look at the old woman in front of him. It seems that her status here Should not be low.

The old woman nodded, and glanced at the people on the bridge with her gloomy eyes, then stopped abruptly on Ning Huan's face, Ning Huan's heart tightened, thinking that he had been discovered?

I saw the old woman frowned, and a puzzled expression gradually appeared on her weird and weird face. She was trembling, her face drooping, and she was about to make a sound.Suddenly there was a "woo-woo" sound from the barrel, the old woman turned around, and a sallow hand stretched out from the edge of the barrel.

"Aren't you dead?" The old woman stirred the barrel with her hand, and pulled a person out of it.The shriveled and sallow body seemed to have been sucked dry, and there was a big opening in the neck, from which blood kept gushing out.His eyes were wide open in horror, and the slight heaving of his chest proved that he was still alive.

Suddenly the man's skinny body twitched, his fingers grabbed the old woman's black shirt, and he made a "cluck" sound with difficulty in his throat. It took Ning Huan a long time to figure out that he was begging the old woman not to kill him.The old woman frowned, and the vertical and horizontal lines became more and more obvious on her old face. She let go of her hand and threw him directly into the river.

Suddenly, many heads with black faces and fangs appeared on the surface of the water, half of their bodies floating on the surface of the water.Seeing the old woman throwing her down, she rushed to the bottom of the bridge. Her naked upper body was full of vein-like veins, and her wet black hair clinged to both sides of her cheeks. With a "hula", Ning Huan didn't even see a splash of struggling , In the blink of an eye, the man had been dismembered and eaten, leaving only a pool of undissolved blood on the water.

The old woman dumped all the remaining human corpses in the barrel, and the monsters in the water licked their fangs, only the sound of them smashing and eating human flesh could be heard.The ghost with the head didn't stop, and drove the people on the bridge to continue walking towards the city gate. Ning Huan stiffly walked around the ghost woman, feeling relieved for no reason...

The moment the two walked into the city gate, Su Xian pulled Ning Huan back to the side.There was a small space behind the gatepost, just for the two of them to hide here, but the ghost guard didn't notice, Ning Huan held his breath, silently watching the team going away...

The ghost city was filled with bluish-white mist, and bustling voices could be faintly heard, and there were many figures in the mist. "Where is this place?" Ning Huan carefully glanced around, and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Su Xian shook his head, his brows tightened with a hint of trouble, and he replied: "I don't know either. But, this place looks like a different world."

"Another world?" Ning Huan asked in confusion.

Su Xian was also not sure, so he could only explain to Ning Huan: "I only read about it in books, and I have never seen a real alien world. The book probably depicts a big monster who can create a world with the help of his own cultivation. Tend to the world of people, ghosts, and gods."

Ning Huan's eyes widened, he swallowed his saliva and said slowly: "Then isn't this monster very powerful?"

"Ah."

"Is it the kind of power that you can't beat?"

"Well, I can't beat you." This was probably Su Xian's head-turned admission that he couldn't beat someone, and he was resolute, quick, decisive and clear, and his face didn't even turn red.

"Then what should we do!" Ning Huan muttered in a low voice, "If you can't even beat him, isn't that the end?"

"Isn't it just right, good brothers live in the same quilt and die in the same coffin?" Su Xian looked at Ning Huan's flushed little face, and curled his lips, showing a rare teasing smile.

Ning Huan pressed his face against the doorpost, lifted his eyelashes feebly, raised his eyes and gave Su Xian a disgusted look, with "You are a fool" written all over his face.

Su Xian suppressed his smile, and stopped teasing Ning Huan. He curled his lips and said, "Of course I can't solve this matter. I have to go to Sanqing Mountain to find my master and uncles." He looked down at Ning Huan Seeing that Ning Huan still had that expression of lovelessness, his dull eyes only glanced quickly from his own face, and then drooped down again.Su Xian squeezed his cheek hard, and said angrily: "I said that I can't beat him, but it's not that I can't run!"

"That's not what you said just now..." Ning Huan complained vaguely with half of his face still pinched in Su Xian's hands.Better to be able to run than to be dead.

"Hush." ​​Ning Huan was half-spoken, but was suddenly stopped by Su Xian.The bluish-white smoke in front of him gradually dissipated, and Su Xian stared at the street in front of him suddenly in a daze, "What's the matter?" Ning Huan asked in puzzlement, seeing him so unavoidably flustered.

Su Xianwu turned around, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked: "Ning Huan, where do you think this place is like?"

Ning Huan frowned and looked in front of him.Just now those figures who were hidden in the dense fog disappeared, and there was an empty market in front of them, with white walls, gray tiles, and rows of shops on both sides of the brick-paved ground. There are occasional red lanterns hanging outside. "Like..." Ning Huan took a careful look, only to feel that the scene was familiar, but he couldn't tell exactly where it looked like.

"The main seat here is facing south, the central axis is protruding, and the two wings are balanced and symmetrical. Does it look like a capital city?" Su Xian kept staring at the front of his eyes and replied word by word.

Hearing this, Ning Huan was taken aback for a moment, he looked at the market in front of him again, and listened to Xian Xian beside him say: "If we continue along this market, then it should be the imperial palace."

Ning Huan opened his mouth in shock, but didn't know what to say for a moment.After a while, he murmured, "Then, what exactly do those things want to do?"

Su Xian lowered his eyes, his slender eyelashes trembled, and he shook his head, "Now we can only get this news out as soon as possible." He frowned, his face and tone becoming more serious, "I don't know if this is from the Buddha or the devil. Something to do with those missing people."

At this time, the sound of "rolling wheels" came from a distance, and the city gate slowly opened, and the ghost woman came in pushing a wooden cart, and the big wooden barrel was still placed on it...

Su Xian pursed his lips slightly, rolled his eyes in their sockets, revealing a calculating look, and he gave Ning Huan a look, signaling to follow that witch.

"Hmm..." Ning Huan compared that ghost woman, then pointed to Su Xian again, made a movement of wiping his neck, then looked at Su Xian with a questioning face, as if he was expecting his reply.

Su Xian patted the yellow talisman on Ning Huan's forehead angrily, and immediately said angrily in a low voice: "I'm a ghost woman, I can still handle it!"

Ning Huan struggled to shrink back, but he didn't expect to see his teeth biting the tip of his tongue, and then let out a "hiss". "I was just asking, but I didn't say you couldn't beat me." Ning Huan muttered dissatisfiedly, raised his eyes and saw Su Xian's ugly face, and hastily pulled out a flattering smile, "Master Su." Ning Huan pointed The back of the ghost woman going away behind him, "If you don't follow, the old woman will leave."

Su Xian glanced behind him, snorted coldly, and didn't turn his head back from the doorpost.Seeing this, Ning Huan hurriedly followed.
