Bone

Everyone in the hall was crying and persuading, and there was a burst of chaos.Qin Nianjiu looked at the scene where the man was lying on his back in complete bewilderment, "What's going on..."

Mrs. Naluo swallowed the ginseng slices, and just after recovering her breath, she struggled to get up, pretending to kneel down to the two immortals, "Xianjia! Save the little girl!"

"Don't, don't, don't!" Qin Nianjiu couldn't bear this gift, he almost jumped up, hurried to help Mrs. Luo, and collided with Luo Qinghe who was also in a hurry to help his mother.

I just pointed in a random direction, how could it cause such a big shock?Tan Fengyue was still in a daze, and seeing the chaotic scene seemed endless, she couldn't help but feel even more headache, so she took the silver fan and knocked on the small case beside her hand, "...stop for a while."

It's just that he didn't grasp the strength properly, and only heard a "bang!", the small mahogany case was knocked into small pieces, and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

Everyone was startled by the sound, they even forgot to cry, and looked at him blankly.

"..." Tan Fengyue was silent, put away the silver fan, and coughed lightly, "Don't worry, don't panic. Let me tell you what happened to the Wandering City first?"

As if they had found their backbone, the Luo family all sat back in their seats in a panic, and Mrs. Luo also lowered her head and wiped her tears silently. Master Na Luo sighed and said slowly: "The Xian family doesn't know anything. Speaking of it, it is also a matter of the previous generation... Our town was originally just a garden attached to a small town, and then—”

He had already heard about this matter from the peddler on the road when he came here, Qin Nianjiu asked anxiously, "Then?"

"Then for some reason, after the city lord came back, he suddenly gave away all his property to the people in the city, and sent them all out... Without people, the city was empty, and it gradually became a ghost city—"

"...ghost city?" Qin Nianjiu frowned unconsciously. Didn't the ancestor say that the world is peaceful and peaceful, why did he come out of a ghost city for no reason?

Master Luo nodded, "Yes, a ghost city! The city was considered wealthy. There were a few waves of bandits who wanted to go in and search for the remaining gold and silver. They gathered all the people and wanted to break in, and none of them came back alive... …There were also a few good and bold people who went there to explore, and when they came back, they were all crazy, or they seemed to have lost their souls, and they only said, "No crying, no laughing, no more ’, or those who laughed and cried on their faces, only yelling the word “displaced” in their mouths, and they all died of palpitations within a few days..."

...sounds really weird.Tan Fengyue pondered for a while, and asked, "Has there ever been a sneak into the town to make trouble?"

Master Luo was dumbfounded by his question, "...it's never happened before."

This is strange, how can there be a reason why ghosts and ghosts gather to make a nest, but they don't come out to harm people?Tan Fengyue asked again: "Have you ever reported it to the government?"

"Of course there is!" Master Luo hurriedly said, "It's just... maybe the officials don't dare to take care of it. This matter has been reported every year, but there has been no news..."

The ghost town is so dangerous, and Qingyu has been lost for many years. If it is really there, it will be more ominous... The rest of the Luo family just sighed, only Mrs. Luo cried and choked: "That place is paid for. No one dares to go with a lot of money, and the officials don't care... I hope the Xian family can save the little girl!"

This...Although Luo Qingyu is really not in that ghost city, but no matter what, you can't leave a ghost town alone...Qin Nianjiu turned to Tan Fengyue, "Then...go and see?"

After all, it was her random pointing direction, Tan Fengyue put away the silver fan, and finally nodded, "Yes."

Hearing that the Xian family accepted, Mrs. Luo was immediately overjoyed, her lips trembling with tears, she didn't know what to say, but Luo Qinghe opened her mouth.

She was not yet born when her sister disappeared, so she was the calmest member of the Luo family, and said softly: "It's already past the ugly time, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go at night, the two immortal families should go back to the room to rest first Well, let’s go later in the morning.”

If Qingyu was really in that wandering city, it would make little difference if there were more hours or less hours...Master Luo couldn't help feeling sad, and sighed again, "Yes, yes..."

……

According to the Luo family, the Wandering City is fifty or sixty miles west of Qinyuan Town, with the green hills on its back and the source of the river on its side.

Although the distance between the two places is not too far, the main road leading to the city has been sealed and abandoned, leaving only some narrow and difficult mountain roads. Not to mention letting the carriage pass.

The carriage was unusable, and they had only rested for less than two hours. Qin Nianjiu lazily held up a black umbrella, yawned and jumped from the top of one old tree to the top of another old tree, talking with After Fengyue went straight to her destination.

Sanjiu had cultivated enough energy in the talisman, and she showed her shape, hanging on Qin Nianjiu's body like a kite.

Just now, he got his revenge, and he did it himself. He was in a good mood, and he kept teasing him about the ghost, "—I didn't expect that I was from the same town as that Rakshasa! Hey! I met a fairy again!" Jun Guijun, this is what people often say about fate, right?"

He said again: "But isn't she already dead? I couldn't find her in that city! How can I do business when I come back? Otherwise, we can just leave after we go to the city! Let them think we are dead too. -"

"..." Qin Nianjiu's eyes were sleepy and his head was about to explode, so he knocked him with his hand, "...Can't you say something auspicious?"

But Sanjiu stared at her round eyes, puzzled and said, "Ah? We're both ghosts already, how can we be lucky?"

Qin Nianjiu: "... makes sense."

Sanjiu asked excitedly and curiously again: "Are there really ghosts in Wandering City? Or are there monsters? Will they eat children? Or—"

"Stop, stop!" Qin Nianjiu pinched Sanjiu's mouth unbearably disturbed, "The Wandering City is a ghost town, why aren't you afraid at all?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu of but for fear of what the ghost city will do!" Chest, "I'm not timid, didn't you see how I frightened those kidnappers yesterday? I wiped my face, screamed and rushed towards them—"

But Tan Fengyue, who was leading in the front, suddenly stopped suddenly, pulled Qin Nianjiu and fell to the ground, "It should be here."

After seeing the scene in front of her clearly, Sanjiu, who had just yelled that she was brave, suddenly fell silent, and hid behind Qin Nianjiu, and pulled Tan Fengyue in front of her to block it as if it was not enough.

At this time, the sky is not fully bright yet, and the mist condensed by the cold wind at night has not yet dissipated, and the warm sunlight is completely covered by the deep old forest. A thick layer of ash had accumulated at the base of the wall, and the clumps of weeds growing on the ash had grown to the height of half a person, and they were crushed and fell to the ground in a crooked manner—and the piles of weeds piled on top of the weeds , It turned out to be a lot of bones!

The carrion crows seem to have made a nest nearby, and they landed on the corpses in groups, and from time to time they raised their necks and screamed, making a human-like cry: "Ah———"

"... I still think that Master Naluo is bluffing us." After seeing many strange things, I no longer feel the horror. In terms of horror, this scene is worse than that of Xibei Village, which is privately owned by Luo Sha. Not a lot.Qin Nianjiu walked over and waved the black crows away, bent over without any scruples and turned over the messy bones, "There are new ones and old ones...the interval between them is not short, so they must not be the same group of people who came over—" Pulling the clothes worn by the corpse, he touched the scattered weapons beside the corpse, "Look at this attire, it's definitely a bandit."

These bones must have been piled here for a long time, exposed to wind, rain, sun and rain, and being bitten and pecked by birds and beasts all day long. Not too dirty, but Tan Fengyue avoided a few feet early in the morning, only looked at it with his eyes, and judged from a distance, "The cause of death was...sudden death?"

Indeed, although the postures of these corpses were distorted, no trace of trauma could be found on their bodies.Qin Nianjiu looked around, picked out a relatively complete one, put his hand on it, concentrated for a moment, then picked another one, and put his hand on it as well—after a long while, he shook his head, "I can't find it." What is the cause of death?"

"I can't find the cause of death, and the corpses of different periods are piled up like this..." He stood up and clapped his hands, looked up at the top of the city wall, "Did it be thrown from inside? But—"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, intending to touch the city wall, but Tan Fengyue frowned suddenly, stepped forward, and pulled him away from the city wall, "Don't touch it!"

Ignoring Qin Nianjiu's "Scared me to death!", "What are you doing rushing over all of a sudden!", "Just say no, why drag me!" and a series of complaints, talked about Fengyue's pupils, and opened his eyes to see that On the city wall, he thought in his heart that it was true, "There are formations on this city wall."

"...Ah?" Qin Nianjiu complained, "What kind?"

A formation is a formation, how to describe it out of thin air?Tan Fengyue gave him a cold look, "Why doesn't Tianzun open his eyes to see?"

Those who do not have a high level of Taoism cannot get the eye of the sky, how could Qin Nianjiu have this ability.He thought it would be great if he could, he curled his lips, "I don't know how—huh?!"

It was just a thought, and a layer of black mist slowly covered his pupils by itself, forcing him to close his eyes. When he opened them again, he saw the foreground objects in detail, and the dust could be traced——Tao Dao Trend Complicated curse marks are intertwined on the city wall, forming an extremely delicate formation, covering the entire small city.

"Old Tan, old Tan!" Everyone grabbed Tan Fengyue's arm in amazement, and he said in amazement: "I can open my eyes?!"

Tan Fengyue realized early on that this ghost's morality should not be inferior to hers, so she was not surprised. She only noticed that his claws that had just pulled the corpse were grabbing her, so her face darkened instantly, and she flung it away unceremoniously. He washed his sleeves, "If you have it, you will have it, what are you excited about?"

How could Qin Nianjiu not be excited, he was a little incoherent, "I have never practiced since I came back from the resurrection, how did I advance..."

I think he has lived in the junction for more than [-] years, and he has never tried cultivation when he was in a panic, but he has never made any progress. It has only been a while, and he can even open the eyes of the sky... Could it be What chance did you come across?What elixir did you eat by mistake?What spirit did you absorb?

...Spiritual things?

He was shocked, "Ah! Could it be that eyeball - yes! It should be!... No, what kind of god does this eyeball belong to? Not only can it break yin and yang, but it can also open the eyes of the sky?"

"No matter who it belongs to, it belongs to you now." Tan Fengyue tapped the hopeless ghost with a fan, "Come back to your senses, let's watch."

"...Oh, oh." Qin Nianjiu was beaten in pain, and reluctantly calmed down, and heard the old ancestor beside him frowning: "This formation is too complicated, although it doesn't look like an evil formation. But I can't see what it's for—"

What does it mean that it doesn't look like an evil formation? This is not an evil formation.Qin Nianjiu glanced at the formation, and said strangely: "What's there to worry about, isn't it just a formation?"

Tan Fengyue thought for a while, "Finished formation?"

"That's right, a large formation composed of several layers of barriers intertwined." Qin Nianjiu said as a matter of course, pointing to a few curse marks that are closer, "This is the end of the formation—"

After walking a certain distance along the city wall, I found several other curse marks, "This is the formation body—this is also the formation body...this and this are also. Here, this is the formation head."

He stopped in his tracks, looked up, and he happened to be at the gate of the city.

There were no bones piled up at the city gate, and Sanjiu, who had been hiding behind the two of them and didn't dare to speak out, seemed to have found her courage again, walked out a few steps furtively, and stood aside, looking around cautiously.

"How many layers of barriers are there..." Qin Nianjiu recognized the functions of the curse marks, and translated them one by one, "One layer of defense, one layer of protection, one layer of restriction, one layer of soul-calling, one layer A layer of gathering souls, a layer of manifesting, a layer of splitting souls, and a layer of... fortune?"

The arrangement of this formation is too bizarre, as if all kinds of spells were randomly mixed together, Qin Nianjiu said thoughtfully: "I just counted, the end of the formation, the body and the head of the formation add up to a total Eight places... Mathematically, six is ​​auspicious, and eight is wealth... Isn't the person who set up the formation a very rich lover?"

... This ghost probably knows too much.After Tan Fengyue listened patiently, she looked at Qin Nianjiu with some incomprehensible words, and asked after a moment of silence: "You just said that some of the barriers have limits, what kind of limits are you setting?"

"How can you tell?" Qin Nianjiu didn't seem to understand why Tan Fengyue would ask such a stupid question, and gave him a strange look, "If the restrictions set by the barrier can be easily interpreted by others, can't they Have you figured out a way to bypass the restrictions? Then what's the limit."

"..." He has always regarded this ghost as a fool, but now he has become a fool, it is really hard to describe.Tan Fengyue endured it, and asked without shame, "Is there any other clues?"

"I'll look for it—" Qin Nianjiu boldly moved closer to the front of the formation, "Hey, there is a prophecy hidden here!"

This prophecy was not included in the curse mark, but the eight small characters clearly written on the formation:

Doing good deeds without asking for reward.

"But do good deeds, don't ask about the future?" It's too incompatible with the scene where the bones are everywhere just now!Qin Nianjiu murmured it once, and called Tan Fengyue over to take a look, "What does it mean here?"

Since it was written on the formation, it should be related to the formation... Tan Fengyue thought about it for a moment, but was speechless for a while.

But Sanjiu, who had been wandering around in a small area, yelled, "Ghost Lord, Ghost Lord, look, there is a plaque here!"

A wooden plaque lay quietly in the silted mud, its shape was eroded by the wind, and its color was stained by the mud. Only two characters were vaguely left on it, which could barely be distinguished.Sanjiu didn't know many characters, but these two characters happened to be taught him to recognize by the ghost king.

He struggled to compare the two fonts that had faded from the golden coating with the words in his mind, and read out, "Qing, Yuan...Qing Yuan?"
