I pulled Shen Bing and said, "Walk faster and pretend you didn't hear anything. Remember don't look back or look around." After saying this, I took out a candle, lit it, and scattered talismans to clear the way.
Gusts of cold wind blew slowly, it was really weird, the wind was not blowing from one direction, judging from the candlelight swaying everywhere, the cold wind was blowing from all directions.
The layout of this city is actually very large. After walking for a long time, I couldn't see the opposite city gate. But I found something very strange. There was an ancient well at a crossroads ahead!
It is not unusual to see an ancient well, but it is not normal to see it in the middle of the street. In ancient cities, wells were not placed in the middle of the road to block the pedestrian route. This reminds me of the City of the Dead!
Because the mouth of this well is too similar to the Soul-Devouring Well in the City of the Dead!
Shen Bing and I looked at each other and slowed down our pace. When we were about to get close to the well mouth, we suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the well. We both felt nervous immediately. Damn, this well is really weird.
As the sound continued to spread, a dark mass appeared on the wellhead, like a pile of messy hair. I swallowed my saliva and took out a peach wood sword and a talisman from my bag. It is better not to use the copper coin array here, because the radiation range is too large. Don't accidentally hurt the wandering souls hiding here, which will arouse public anger.
It was indeed a pile of hair, and it seemed to be a head, popping out. I ran forward a few steps, and sent it back to its nest before it came out. Unexpectedly, just when I reached the well, the head also popped out, with hair messy and dirty like a pile of straw, and a dirty face, so I couldn't see what it looked like.
I reached out and put the talisman on its head, just wanting to drive it down, not wanting to make an enemy or cause trouble. But it flapped its head, showing no fear of the yellow talisman, and even stretched out its two arms, panting heavily, and climbed out of the well!
Damn it, why doesn't anything work here? Could it be that all the ghosts here have become spirits? I will thrust my sword into its spiritual point, not caring whether it will cause trouble or not, just keep it safe for the time being.
That thing was very clever. It rolled over from the wellhead and fell to the ground, lying on the ground staring at me. It let out two strange "ah" sounds, then got up, turned around and ran forward, disappearing into the darkness in an instant.
"It's her!" Shen Bing shouted as she looked at the disappearing figure.
I nodded in annoyance. It was the crazy woman at the east entrance of Jilong Village! I am known as a ghost story inheritor. I can tell the difference between humans and ghosts at a glance, but this time I made a mistake and pasted a talisman on her head. It's really embarrassing.
However, Shen Bing did not make a fuss about it. She frowned and said, "Why did she come here? It's so strange."
"She seems to be the guide," I said.
Judging from her running figure, she looked exactly like the guide. But how could she be so familiar with the terrain here, and why was she leading us? And where was she going to take us
"I understand. She may have received a favor from us, so she led the way for us. She is a good person." Shen Bing said.
I agree with her words. This woman doesn't seem as crazy as she looks. She warned us when we first entered the village, and now she is leading us into the underground city, as if she wants to take us out of danger. But how can a homeless woman know the terrain here? I am puzzled.
