In a dark city, death is a relief.
Legend has it that there is a dead city in the underworld, which is full of ghosts who died unjustly, but this city occasionally appears in the world.
The black and big city in front of me is the legendary dead city, with torches on the top of the city, and the gate plaque, which is more than two feet high and one foot wide, is inscribed: Go to the dead city. There were no guards on either side of the gate.
Looking inside through the city gate, only a little light was seen, no one was seen, not even a ghost.
But the peach pit on my chest glowed red. I don't know what it means
Zheng Xiumin got down from my back, moved his hands and feet, tightened the zipper of the winter clothes, and asked me: "Doctor Yuan, how do we find the girl with Daochang Tan?"
I replied: "Tan Daochang is wearing a black leather coat, his head and both hands and wrists are tied with multicolored ribbons. It is easier to find. Follow me!" I grasped her hand tightly and felt her body tremble a little, and her hands were also It's cold!
The front is just an empty city, there is nothing to be afraid of.
While comforting Zheng Xiumin, I walked into the city, but I closed my eyes and saw countless ghosts swimming in the city. A bird's wailing came from the night sky of the city.
Here, you can see more clearly with your eyes closed.
I said to Zheng Xiumin: "Close your eyes and I will show you them!"
These ghosts were a little surprised when they saw me, and they floated towards me, stretched out their weak arms, as if they were about to hold me, they seemed to want to say something to me, but they didn't say anything.
"I'm looking for an old Taoist man in a black fur coat and a young girl with shaved hair. Who of you knows where they are, I can bring it back!"
This is just one of my tricks. I can't be sure whether I can bring the old Taoist priests and Qingqing back to life.
These ghosts murmured immediately, but Wugui responded to me.
I took Zheng Xiumin and continued to walk forward, passing through the black house, involuntarily speeding up the pace.
The bird's wailing came again above his head, which sounded like a duo of a crow and an owl. I looked up and saw a footless black bird flapping its wings, trying to stop by a torch in the corner of the room, but its waving wings fanned the flame, which instead ignited its black feathers.
The black bird wailed and turned into a fire bird, flew towards the night sky, and soon turned into ashes, drifting away in the wind.
Turning around the corner, I finally saw the ghosts in the upper reaches of the ground. They were unkempt, ragged, pale, with helpless eyes. While wandering aimlessly, I stretched out my left hand to hold one of the tall men. On the man's arm, he asked: "You can see an old Taoist man in a black leather jacket, with colorful ribbons on his head, hands and wrists."
This person shook his head dumbly, I wondered if he understood me
"Then have you ever seen a bald young woman?" I asked unwillingly.
The other party still shook his head. At this moment, a black cat suddenly rushed down from the roof and grabbed Zheng Xiumin behind me. It landed on top of her head, and then both paws grabbed Zheng Xiumin's face.
I immediately released my right hand and swept the black cat off Zheng Xiumin's head with a punch.
Zheng Xiumin opened her eyes and screamed in fright. She drew a bright sharp knife from her waist and stuffed it into my hand.
I opened my eyes and took a closer look. Isn't this the sharp knife that grandpa left me
The black cat was swept to the ground by me, staring at a pair of emerald green eyes and giving out an angry look.
I changed the sharp knife to my left hand and waved at the black cat to drive it away. His right hand continued to grasp Zheng Xiumin's hand, closed his eyes and rushed forward again.
The more you go inside, the more lights there will be, but these ghosts don't seem to be afraid of fire, and they want to get closer but don't dare. When they see me and Zheng Xiumin, they keep coming around.
"I'm looking for friends, if you have seen them, take me there, or stay away from us!" I waved the sharp knife in my hand to warn these ghosts.
These ghosts were also afraid of the sharp knife in my hand, and hurriedly dispersed.
The two of us continued to search, and finally encountered a ghost who was not afraid of sharp knives.
This ghost is dressed in shiny clothes, with explosive heads, and weird colors on his face. There is a poisonous snake spit tattoo on his neck. The nails on his hands are very long. When he saw us, he floated towards me and stretched out his hands. , Ready to scratch my face.
With a quick wave of the sharp knife in my hand, it cut off its nails. The other side let out a low growl and continued to attack me, but the sharp knife in my hand waved again, cutting off a few fingers.
This guy screamed and retreated. I felt a kind of anger in my heart. I dragged Zheng Xiumin to chase quickly. The scared ghost also accelerated the speed of escape.
It fled to a dark alley and stopped. I felt ghosts floating behind me, so I looked back and jumped down a group of these ghosts from the roofs on both sides, but they had more slender ones in their hands. Scissors, some also hold white magnetic sticks in their hands.
"Who are you two ghosts, why are you coming to our vain city?" One of the guys with golden exploded head asked me.
If I can hear the sound here, I find hope.
"We are here to find friends, an old Taoist in a black coat, and a young woman with a shaved head!" I replied loudly.
The other party said coldly: "I haven't seen it!"
My heart became even more angry. I let go of Zheng Xiumin's hand, swapped the sharp knife from the left hand to the right hand, and yelled viciously at these ghosts: "Don't perfuse me, you hurry up and find me, and when you find it, you will bring them to see you. I!"
Zheng Xiumin also showed a surprised expression.
The guy at the head also showed a questioning expression, "Where are you ghosts that dare to yell at us?"
The tyranny and hostility in my heart became more and more serious, and there was also a murderous intent. I wanted to kill a soul to release the anger in my heart, so I waved the sharp knife in my hand and yelled: "Don't worry about who I am. , Hurry up and find it for me, otherwise I will kill you all!"
These souls immediately boiled, and this guy showed a hint of ridicule, and his nails were as sharp as steel, and then they pinched my neck.
When the sharp knife in my hand swung out and collided with its nails, I saw sparks splashing, and the metal crashing sound was crisp.
The impact caused the souls around me to retreat. I stepped forward and grabbed this guy's wrist. I swiped the knife again with my right hand. This time, the knife cut off the other's nails.
I suddenly understood that the hostility and tyranny in my heart were passed on to me by this sharp knife, but I couldn’t help but loosen this guy’s wrist with my left hand, grabbed his long golden hair, and swung the knife with my right hand. out.
A strand of golden curvy hair fell in the wind.
"Let go of our boss, or we'll kill her!" I heard Zheng Xiumin's call for help and turned around. These souls threatened me with Zheng Xiumin as a hostage.
From Zheng Xiumin's horrified eyes, I seemed to see that I also sneered, his eyes full of murderous intent.
I waved my wrist involuntarily, and a large amount of powder came out of it. These souls coughed immediately, including Zheng Xiumin.
"Hurry up and find my friend, otherwise I will make you all gone!"
But these souls did not obey my orders, and the guy behind him launched a sneak attack on me, and his hands with his nails cut off caught my neck from behind. (End of this chapter)
