The Tianmen Town, which was prosperous and bustling just now, turned into a cemetery in the blink of an eye. The woman with the flower umbrella looked around and saw only desolate graves. Apart from that, there was a dilapidated Tianmen and a house, Su Yun's house!
This is the real Tianmen Town!
Tianmen Town was destroyed in the disaster six years ago!
Later, envoys from Dongdu arrived to investigate the cause of the disaster. They built tombs for the victims of Tianmen Town.
"You are not as good as the one named Qiu Shuijing."
Qu Bo's voice came: "Qiu Shuijing saw through the illusion of Tianmen Town. He laughed and broke the illusion, allowing the sunlight to shine in. But you didn't see anything."
The woman with the flower umbrella was standing in this desolate cemetery, feeling really frightened. Upon hearing this, she turned her head and looked towards the gate, only to see that Qu Bo was no longer on the gate.
"People in the Tong family weren't brought up to be scared!"
The woman with the flower umbrella shook her umbrella to give herself courage, and saw the Bifang divine birds fly out from the umbrella and circle around her.
She continued to walk towards Su Yun's house, her legs and feet trembling a little. On both sides were the graves of the residents of Tianmen Town. The deserted graves were silent, which could not help but make her feel scared.
She was secretly on guard, and silently said in her heart: "Even if it is a ghost, its strength is not as good as when it was alive! My Tong family is an aristocratic family, and both family and official studies are very sophisticated..."
Finally, she arrived in front of Su Yun's house, which was the only place with sunlight and the only place where people lived.
The woman with the flower umbrella stretched out her hand to push the wooden door. At this moment, she inadvertently saw that the flesh and blood on her hand had fallen off and turned into white bones!
There was not even a speck of skin or nails left on her five fingers, and her flesh and blood looked as if they had been eaten clean by a swarm of ants!
She screamed, dropped the umbrella, and raised her other hand, which was also covered with bones!
She lifted her sleeves and did the same with her arms.
The woman hurriedly touched her face, which was covered in blood and flesh. Her finger bones even poked into her eye sockets, but there was nothing in them!
"This damn place..."
She uttered a moan, and suddenly the skeletal beauty shattered with a loud crash, her bones crushed into powder, and her clothes fell to the ground.
A cold wind blew by, and her clothes were like paper that turned to ashes, fluttering in the wind.
Her flower umbrella and the Bifang bird flying in the sky also turned into spots of light and disappeared.
As the gloomy wind blew, the abandoned graves disappeared again, broken bricks and tiles floated up, broken pillars and beams were reassembled, and collapsed houses were reconstructed. The buildings in Tianmen Town looked brand new, and people came and went on the streets, leading their normal lives.
This small town on the North Sea seems to still exist in the world.
However, when the wind from the North Sea blew over the sea, Tianmen Town was like a mirage in the mist, shaking with the sea breeze, as if it was about to be blown away and dispersed by the wind.
The townspeople in Tianmen Town also seem to be people in a painting shaking in the wind, giving people an extremely unreal feeling.
Su Yun and the four little foxes had no idea what was happening in Tianmen Town. It was already noon when they got up. Huahu and Hu Buping went to catch a few pheasants, while Qingqiuyue and Li Xiaofan went to the vegetable garden of Niu Family Village and stole some vegetables.
Those bull monsters like to grow vegetables.
Su Yun cooked at home. He baked a few pheasants with coarse salt until they turned golden brown, braised some dried sea fish, stewed eggplants, steamed rice, and fried the vegetables they had stolen. Then the four foxes sat down to eat.
"We're out of soy sauce at home. We need to go to the market to buy some."
While eating, Su Yun said, "I had a fight with my senior a few days ago and my clothes were torn, so I need to buy some coarse cloth clothes. And second brother, if you want to go to the city in the future, you also need to buy some clothes."
At the dinner table, Huahu didn't say anything, just ate the salt-baked chicken silently. Hu Buping couldn't help but looked up and said, "Brother Xiaoyun, why do we have to go to the city? Can't we not go to the city?"
"no."
Su Yun's face darkened slightly: "Going to the city will allow me to receive a better education and learn better skills."
Hu Buping was puzzled and said, "But we can live well in the countryside. We have food and drink, and friends here. We can survive here. Why should we go to the city? After going to the city, can we still be as free as we are now?"
Qingqiu Yue and Li Xiaofan stopped eating chicken and looked at Su Yun silently.
Su Yun put down his bowl and chopsticks, was silent for a moment, and said: "Then die like Mr. Yehu? Like Huqiu Village, be wiped out quietly without even knowing who your enemy is? Or like the whole village eating, after going through so much hardship to become a dragon, you will be captured and used as a mount?"
He said awkwardly, "Or do you want to be like me and go blind just because you looked up at the sky?"
Hu Buping opened his mouth and stopped talking.
"I want to learn more, I want to control my own destiny, I want to climb up and make my life better, and make the lives of my family and friends better."
Su Yun pursed his thin lips and said, "I don't want to die like Mr. Yehu, nor do I want to be like Huqiu Village, which can be wiped out with just a name. I don't want my descendants to live the same life as me in the future! Look up at the sky, it's not a sin!"
"I want justice for myself, for Tianmen Town, for Mr. Yehu and Huqiu Village. I don't want to live a mediocre life!"
Although he couldn't see, he accurately picked up a piece of sea fish and put it in his bowl: "And if you want to do this, you must go to the city, study, learn more skills, and learn better skills!"
"Xiaoyun is right."
Huahu put down the salt-baked chicken he had eaten most of and said in a deep voice, "We will go into the city with you. If we don't go into the city, how can we avenge Huqiu Village?"
Li Xiaofan gnawed on chicken feet and said in a muffled voice, "I follow Brother Xiaoyun. Wherever Brother Xiaoyun goes, I go. By the way, do you think there are really dragons in the Fallen Dragon Valley? Dragons that turn into ghosts? I really want to go and see... If Brother Xiaoyun goes, I will go too..."
Hu Buping rolled his eyes and said, "Me too."
Qingqiu Yue dealt with the chicken in front of him seriously, raised his tail and shook it to show his agreement.
"So, are we going to visit the Dragon Burial Mausoleum?" Hu Buping asked excitedly.
Su Yun thought for a moment and said, "The mountain behind the cliff is the Dragon Burial Mausoleum, and behind the Dragon Burial Mausoleum is the Fallen Dragon Valley. Everything else is easy, except for the cliff, which is impossible to climb. Only birds can fly over it. But we have this rope, so we can climb over the cliff..."
The four foxes' eyes lit up.
Not long after, Su Yun and the four foxes passed by Linyi Village again. Linyi Village suffered heavy casualties in the battle of Shejian, and this time no one mocked them. Many roe deer owls hid in tree houses to heal their wounds.
When they arrived outside Linyi Village, they turned and walked a few more miles along the mountain road before arriving at Niujiazhuang. From afar, they saw an old black cow with its butt on the ground, one of its front paws pressing the grass under the chopper, and the other front paw lifting the chopper to chop grass for itself.
In Niujiazhuang, there were more than a dozen houses with white banners in front of their doors, where funerals were being held. A group of graceful cat demons set up a stage, puffed up their cheeks, and played trumpets and suonas on the stage all night long.
A few bull monsters were making a fuss in the audience, wanting to listen to "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".
"Am I afraid of you? I can brag about you from the time you were born to the time your whole family is buried!" The eldest cat demon sister was very tough.
The "people" in Niujiazhuang had very bad tempers, and so many bull monsters had died. The cat monsters also had bad tempers, so Su Yun and Huahu tactfully took a detour.
“The name of the whole village eating is so appropriate.”
Hu Buping muttered: "These cat demons specialize in the business of feeding the whole village, they can all make a fortune..."
Everyone was terrified after hearing this, fearing that the gossiping fox's words would anger Niujiazhuang and Maojiatun, but fortunately the sound of the trumpets and suonas in Niujiazhuang was too loud to cover it up.
They bypassed Niujiazhuang and walked for a few more miles before arriving at the cliff.
This cliff is not the Snake Stream Cliff, but the second cliff behind the Snake Stream. It is extremely steep. After crossing it, you can reach the Dragon Burial Tomb.
However, among the nearby villages, only the villagers of Linyi Village had been to the Dragon Burial Tomb, and no other "people" had ever been there.
Su Yun and the others came to the bottom of the cliff. The four foxes looked around nervously. Flower Fox said, "There's no one around!"
Su Yun took out the magic rope, held the rope head and threw it into the sky, and the rope whooshed up into the sky.
