After a while, Qiao Mu continued to speak: "I can leave now that you are here. Shall I introduce the situation here to you?"
I haven't figured it out yet, seeing what Qiao Mu said, I just nodded subconsciously.
Qiao Mu said: "It's very simple here, only people with predestined relationship can enter the house. After entering, you can't go out, you can only stay in the alley until the next person who enters the house appears, and the original owner can leave the endless hell. This It may take a long time, and I don't want to lie to you about this."
I nodded again. Qiao Mu's words are definitely not all true. The thing that makes me feel fake the most is that I can leave the endless hell.
I don't understand why Qiao Mu said that, but I know that Qiao Mu hopes that I can replace him, as if some ghosts are looking for a substitute, this is the only place I can think of.
Perhaps seeing that I didn't believe it, Qiao Mu said, "You think that leaving the Infernal Hell is fake, to be honest, when I first came in, I also felt that those two people lied to me.
However, after I moved in with one ten-thousandth hope, I realized that this is all true, and I can feel it in the dark. "
I frowned, and focused on the two people Qiao Mu mentioned.
"Two people? You mean two people left?"
Qiao Mu nodded: "Yes, those are two ghosts, very powerful. When I saw them for the first time, I even thought they would eat me in one bite, but no. Personal, and friendly. I'm grateful for them despite being trapped for decades."
I opened my eyes wide and looked at Qiao Mu, Shuangsheng, could it be that what Qiao Mu was talking about was the two ghosts who escaped to establish the Shuangsheng Tower.
Qiao Mu said sincerely: "I didn't lie to you. Everything I said is true. Although I don't know when you will be able to go out, there is always hope, isn't it? The most important thing is that this place is comparable to the desert outside." much better."
I fell into deep thought. When Qiao Mu mentioned the Sages, I already believed a little. After all, no one should know about the Sages in the Infernal Hell.
If I were just an ordinary ghost, I think I would agree to live here, but I can't, I need to leave as soon as possible, there are many people waiting for me.
Having strengthened my mind, I didn't worry about whether what Qiao Mu said was true or not, but asked about the Shuangsheng in detail.
Perhaps Qiao Mu just thought that I was verifying the authenticity of his words, and didn't care, and told me everything he knew.
Qiao Mu didn't know much about it. Decades ago, Qiao Mu entered the Lost City and wandered into the alley just like me.
Also unable to get out, he chose a stronger method than me, directly climbed over the wall and entered this house.
Even after decades, Qiao Mu still remembered the scene he saw when he entered the courtyard for the first time.
In the small courtyard, where we are sitting now, there are also two people sitting.
One is a middle-aged man with an indifferent expression, and the other is a monster with a horse face and horns.
Monsters are naturally more attractive than normal looks. Qiao Mu was stunned. It was the first time he saw such a monster.
When Qiao Mu looked at him, the monster was also looking at Qiao Mu, its eyes like copper bells were all blood red, as if there was an endless sea of blood rolling inside.
The monster grinned, revealing its white teeth. Qiao Mu felt at that moment that he would become the monster's food.
What Qiao Mu didn't expect was that the monster uttered words, but in a very gentle tone, and told what Qiao Mu told me.
In the end, Qiao Mu chose to believe, and he also saw with his own eyes that these two self-proclaimed double saints left the Infernal Hell in a beam of light falling from the sky.
After telling me about the Shuangsheng, Qiao Mu showed a trace of gratitude on his face, then looked at me, and said jokingly: "You and that middle-aged man look quite alike."
I smiled casually. The ancients once said a word, that is, too much talk is bound to fail.
Now, I really feel the correctness of this sentence.
There are loopholes in what Qiao Mu said, even if what he said is true, but he knows that the beam of light can leave the endless hell.
Also, in the whole story, he is the only one, but what is he called daughter-in-law. It hasn't appeared yet.
It's just that I have already made up my mind, and I didn't expose or pursue it.
Seeing that Qiao Mu couldn't provide any more information, I opened my mouth directly.
"Sorry, I don't want to live here?"
"Don't you want to leave the endless hell?"
"I think so, but I think there should be other ways."
"No, no."
I shook my head, stopped talking, but stood up: "Thank you, I have to leave, in case I really can't find it, maybe I will come back?"
Qiao Mu also stood up with me: "You can't come back, it's hard to find here, no one will be able to find it a second time."
"Oh," I said with a smile, "I still plan to try."
Qiao Mu sighed: "Alright then, I wish you success."
"Thanks."
I nodded to Qiao Mu and walked towards the gate.
Qiao Mu followed me as if sending me off.
Just when I was about to walk to the gate, Qiao Mu said, "Have you really stopped thinking about it?"
I turned to look at Qiao Mu and shook my head.
Qiao Mu's eyes showed regret: "Oh, why do you always have to come to that step?"
I was taken aback for a moment, and just as the vigilance in my heart was raised, I felt that my whole body could not move.
Qiao Mu sighed, took the spike from my calf that had stabbed me at some point, and held it in his hand.
"This is the thorn of the longevity vine. The ghosts stabbed by the longevity vine will become stiff in a short time. But with your strength as the ghost king, you should still be able to speak."
"So you didn't come in over the wall at all, did you?"
Qiao Mu was stunned and then smiled, "I thought you would scold me. Yes, I really didn't come in over the wall."
"So the so-called twin saints are also fake?"
"Uh, this is true, but I was also invited in by them, but I chose to stay because of that vague hope."
"Hope, leave the endless hell?"
"Yes, get out of Hell. Well, I have to go, goodbye. I hope you can wait for the next person soon."
"Wait. You said that the two saints were taken away from the Infernal Hell by a beam of light, is it also false?"
A frantic expression appeared in Qiao Mu's eyes: "They were indeed taken away from the Infernal Hell by a beam of light, and I will find that beam of light too."
After saying that, Qiao Mu ignored me, but returned to the room, and walked out with the help of a hunched white-haired old woman.
The old woman kept her head down, until the moment she walked out of the gate, she looked up at me.
With a glance, I was struck by lightning, because I had seen this old woman before.
