Hailing barren city

Hearing Dongli Bupo's order, Huakai naturally obediently left the grass and walked back.Afterwards, Dongli Bupo kept his eyes closed, and actually followed the young man with meditation, making sure that he had returned to Cuiying Pavilion safe and sound. Then he came back to his senses and explained to Tao Rujiu: "I was originally I was the son of the general of Yaocheng in ancient times, and he was also the first to lead the army. My father and son led the army to fight against the pirates, and they made great achievements in the battle. However, there was an unexpected situation. I died in the battle and was buried in this promontory by the village as the god of protecting the city. And put on a silver mask to retain the soul. Haiying is the protector of people who go to sea, and also the god of our family. Huakai was my lover before seven lives. Because of my death, he threw himself into the sea. He has been reborn near Xiyao City all the time, in order to reunite with me in the dark. But knowing this life, he came to Hailing City, which has long been an island, and we finally met again."

Although Tao Rujiu listened carefully to every word he said, it still felt like some drama.There was a touch of emotion in my heart, but I felt so far away from myself, almost a story from another world.After digesting for a long time, he continued to ask: "You are a general who died in battle in ancient times, and you were buried in Hailing City as a guardian. Blossoms are your... lover, but what do these have to do with Ling Li? ?”

Dongli Bupo replied indifferently: "My father has four sons. Except for my early death, the other three brothers are all responsible for Dongli's family. And Ling Li is..."

"It's your brother's descendant..." Tao Rujiu had completely forgotten his fear at this time, and interjected, "But Ling Li's surname is Ling, not Dongli. Could it be that the surname was changed by a collateral family..."

"Don't speculate!" Dongli interrupted him displeasedly, "Don't you know that Ling Li has a mother?"

Tao Rujiu hurriedly changed his words in embarrassment: "By the way, you can also be his natal family..."

"I'm your natal family..." Dongli Bupo gritted his teeth.Tao Rujiu knew that he had said something wrong again, his whole face turned red with shame, and hurriedly changed the subject.

"So that's the case, so the ancestor that Ling Li enshrines in the villa should be you, right?"

Dongli Bupo nodded, "However, I don't have the ability to keep his livestock prosperous and his crops plentiful. At most, I can protect him in Hailing City. Although people regard me as a guardian, strangers can't protect themselves, so they give empty hopes." Wouldn't it be too easy for the dead to live?"

Tao Rujiu laughed awkwardly along with him, and said, "Then you must have transformed the strong wind that protects the underground palace. But since you have such ability, why don't you just get rid of those three ghosts directly. Save yourself the trouble now."

Dongli Bupo gave him a blank look, and said, "I'm not impermanent to catch souls, and I'm not Zhong Kui to catch ghosts. Besides, there are reasons and rules for ghosts to kill each other. If you want me to contribute, I'm not that interested. "

Only then did Tao Rujiu recall that Qi Maoxian once said that Dongli would not be broken without conditions, so he asked tentatively, "Then what is it that makes you so interested?"

"The conditions I said, are you willing to trade with me?" Dongli Bupo's lips under the silver mask curved, showing a devilish smile.

"Then please tell me first..." Tao Rujiu suddenly felt powerless, feeling as if Dong Li Bupo was completely controlling the direction of the conversation, "I can decide whether to agree or not after I tell you."

"I want to use your body for one night." Dongli Bupo replied straightforwardly.

"What... do you want my body for?" Tao Rujiu was naturally very surprised.

Dongli Bupo still replied calmly: "Don't use it to kill people and set fires. I borrowed it properly and returned it to you properly. There will be no scars and no pain. What are you afraid of?"

Tao Rujiu became more and more vigilant: "But you don't just want to use my body to walk and watch the sunrise, do you?"

Dongli gave him a blank look: "Of course not, I want to spend a night with Huahua."

After Tao Rujiu heard this, it took him a while to understand Dongli Bupo's true meaning, his face turned pale with fright, worse than seeing a ghost.

"You...you want to use my body to do...that kind of thing with Huakai..."

"What's there to be afraid of? Don't you think I'll be the one down there when I'm with Huakai?" Dongli Bupo's voice was still cold, even though this matter sounded so absurd to Tao Rujiu, But it is the only way to satisfy Dongli Bubro and Blossom at the same time.

"I only temporarily seal your soul. As long as I don't let you see or hear, you won't feel anything. I can also give you a second option, which is to temporarily take out your soul. Wait until dawn Come back again, which one do you want?"

Tao Rujiu only heard that the second method was to drive his soul out of his body, if a gust of wind blows his soul to those three ghosts, wouldn't that be a disaster?This is absolutely impossible, so he quickly replied: "The second kind is absolutely impossible!"

Who knew that Dong Li gave a sinister smile and said, "Then the first one, it's decided?"

It was only then that Tao Rujiu realized what he was up to, and gritted his teeth and complained: "You...you have to let me think about such an important matter first!"

Dongli Bupo snorted: "There's nothing to consider, you won't have any influence, and even Huakai won't see your appearance——I'll cast an illusion to let him see my face. After finishing speaking, the ghost was silent for a moment, "I want to touch his face, this is the only wish I have had for hundreds of years."

Tao Rujiu also fell silent when he heard these words.He admitted that he began to sympathize with this strange couple, but this did not mean that he agreed to contribute his body to be a bridge for their overnight communication.

"Can you give me two days to think about it?" The young man replied hesitantly, "I don't know how to answer you now."

Dongli Bupo replied: "As long as the three ghosts are willing to wait, I have no objection."

Tao Rujiu remembered what Qi Maoxian had said about the Vajra Net, and immediately asked Dongli Bupo, and the ghost replied without hesitation: "Do you know why those three dead souls didn't go to reincarnation after they were saved? Because Hailing City passed by." The cape is the battlefield to fight against the pirates. Although the people who died in battle were reincarnated, their hostility and resentment were hard to calm down, so they were transferred to the three dissatisfied souls. It does have a certain retention effect, and the reason why it is ineffective for me is because I have a silver body to protect me from resentment. But even if there is resentment, but it is relying on entities such as running water, it will slowly seep out from under the wall. It's not impossible. So it's not too late, no matter how you say it, you should act as soon as possible.

After hearing what he said, Tao Rujiu felt more uneasy in his heart, but he wanted to scare him a bit even if Dongli was not broken, so he approached him suddenly, saying that he wanted him to take him to see the pros and cons of those three ghosts.Talking about Tao Rujiu, he felt a force holding him up, and then he felt an invisible barrier protecting his surroundings, and if the barrier was not broken, he would disappear, leaving only a cold voice in his ears.

"I'll take you to the Underworld Palace and see what's going on there."

When Tao Rujiu heard that he was going to be taken to the underground palace, he almost lost his wits in fright.He kept refusing, but Dongli Bupo still arbitrarily held him in mid-air, and under the cover of night, he quickly headed towards the Netherworld Palace.

The underground palace that has been sealed is rarely closed.The temporary high-power lighting on the palace wall was on all night.Tao Rujiu looked down at the land from the mid-air, the grove, the corpse town, and the lonely graves were all quietly bathed in a white-purple light, which made them look even more eerie.

"Do you know where those three ghosts are?" Dongli Bupo's voice sounded, "They are no longer satisfied with that small underground palace, look..."

Tao Rujiu lowered his head and looked down, he saw the slightly sunken passage of the underground palace under his feet.At this moment, the concrete floor is completely invisible, replaced by a river.

An underground river that flows backwards to a higher place.

"Follow this river, and we will know where the three ghosts are—of course, there is a high possibility that there will be the dead body of Wang Baihu."

Tao Rujiu couldn't exert any strength in the air, so he could only be carried away by Dongli Bupo.He comforted himself in his heart, at least the ghost would not throw him to those three ghosts, at most he would be frightened and pass away with his eyes closed.

But it's easy to think, but it's not the same thing if you really want to practice it.

Along the way where the underground water flowed out, Tao Rujiu saw many things washed out of the underground palace floating in the water, all kinds of sundries, large pieces of white rags, severed limbs and heads of wax figures, The waterweed-like wig sinks and tangles in a place where the water flow is slow.Dongli Bupo put Tao Rujiu down a little bit, and he smelled a pungent sour smell, mixed with the smell of musty wax oil, which made it almost hard to breathe.

"These are pretty good." Dongli Bupo said, "You haven't smelled the smell of decaying corpses in summer...but it's coming soon."

Tao Rujiu was shocked when he heard this, and he unconsciously paid attention to the movement around him.

Before he knew it, he had already moved away from the entrance of the underground palace and Soul Town, and arrived near Reincarnation Street.It is a narrow street built to imitate the residential areas of the 80s.On both sides are five-story dilapidated buildings, and the first floor has been transformed into an equally dilapidated storefront.Although it is only a scenic spot for tourists to enter and visit during the day, it is deliberately arranged as a scene full of life.Footbaths and waxy vegetables, benches and slippers placed on the street.Even drying clothes outdoors.However, if you take a closer look, you will find that all these items are sprayed with a thin layer of blood, as if a tragedy just happened.

"25 years ago, this was a crowded but harmonious community. People living on this street knew each other and were friendly to each other. However, the peace was broken by the son of a certain family who had been released from prison. ... As a gangster That man committed all sorts of crimes, and made this small street no longer peaceful. Finally, one day, the neighbors united and killed the gangster and divided his body. To prevent the police from searching for the body, they dismembered the body into small pieces and took them home separately. Hidden. Unexpectedly, on the night of the resurrection of the dead head seven, the residents of the entire small street all died unexpectedly..."

This is the explanatory text printed on the wooden sign at the entrance of the small street. Although it is also fabricated, it can still make people shiver.Dongli Bupo put Tao Rujiu on the roof of one of the buildings, and at the end of the street under his feet, the weird underground river was slowly flowing.

"Hush, don't make a sound. Watch carefully." Dongli Bupo ordered him to get down.

The weird atmosphere of the underground river spread quickly, and Tao Rujiu saw it spreading on the street, and the place that was flooded immediately turned a putrid black sauce color.The weeds shriveled, and even the occasional mouse that passed through them rotted in an instant, turning into a pool of waxy liquid.

"That's because he's absorbing the hostility in the environment and the fear of tourists." Dongli Bupo explained, "This is his paradise. How long do you plan to keep it here?"

Tao Rujiu covered his mouth and nose and kept shaking his head, just wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.His right hand supported the ground and wanted to stand up, but he touched a round object similar to a ping pong ball.When I got it in front of my eyes, it turned out to be an eyeball.
