Chapter 190 Don’t go out after dark (10,000 per day, please subscribe, please vote)
He Wenzhi took Bai Ruozi and quietly followed the bun shop owner all the way.
Nothing suspicious was found along the way, but there were many people who had the same idea as him.
The outsiders who were watching there at the beginning, that is, the people who came in through the huge stone door, were probably close to twenty people.
Although not everyone followed, there were seven or eight.
It's just that these people all come from different forces, and some of them are casual cultivators, and they don't know each other at all.
They are not thinking about who they want to trick now, they just want to find out what is going on.
Why did that person suddenly change his temperament? Why is there someone in this secret realm?
We have just come in, and there are so many mysteries. Everyone is curious and depressed at the same time.
It was only when they followed the bun shop owner all the way to his residence and peeked outside to see what was going on that they realized that their trip seemed to have been in vain.
Because after the bun shop owner took the man home, he just asked him to squat and lift a big millstone in the yard, which seemed to be exercising his strength.
Then he took the donkey out of his mill and asked the man to go in and pull the mill instead of the donkey.
The man was grinding while the owner of the bun shop said sternly: "If you want to learn a craft well, you must first work hard and master the basic skills!"
Looking at that man again, even though he was treated like a donkey, he didn't complain at all. Instead, he kept nodding in agreement.
This shocked the people who were peeking outside.
Are you really here to learn how to make steamed buns?
This is obviously someone who was tricked into being a donkey, right?
Everyone was stunned by this scene and knew what to say.
At this time, the boss of the bun shop said again: "From today on, you will be with that donkey first. When you can surpass it, I will teach you real kung fu!"< br>
“Okay Master!” The man pulled hard and nodded very seriously: “Disciple knows, I will definitely work hard to do it!”
"Okay! Very good! I'm very optimistic about you!" The bun shop owner nodded with satisfaction and walked out immediately.
He stood in the yard and suddenly said: "Everyone, after watching for so long, do you also want to worship me as your teacher?"
After saying this, he pulled away. The ajar door.
The seven or eight awakened people and practitioners outside looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
This is like being caught as a thief.
But there are also some people who are more impulsive.
At this time, a man who couldn't control his temper jumped out and said directly: "You monster, what kind of magic did you use to bewitch that person?!"
The owner of the bun shop laughed loudly and heard him say: "Evil method? He just ate my buns and was attracted by the beauty of my buns." He was so moved by the taste that he was willing to accept me as his teacher. Didn’t you see all of this?
Didn’t you also see how I trained him just now? ”
< br>Because the door had always been ajar before, people outside could see what was going on inside through the huge crack in the door.
In addition, there is not much sound insulation in the first place, and everyone is an awakened person and a practitioner, so naturally the conversation inside can be heard clearly.
At this time, the bun shop owner said again: "If you don't believe it, why not try the buns I make, and then you will naturally know whether it is true or false."
This statement As soon as it came out, everyone hesitated.
Mainly because of the person who ate the steamed buns just now. The contrast between his before and after was so great.
Everyone now has no way of guaranteeing whether they will be like that person after eating steamed buns.
And everyone present, their strength is actually about the same, they are all between the fifth and seventh levels of [Hirakure].
But the most exaggerated thing is that the person who ate the buns is the eighth level of [Hirakure]!
For this reason, no one dares to eat it.
They will all be like this after eating the eighth level. They are not as good as the eighth level. Wouldn’t it be worse if they eat it?
In short, upon hearing the proposal from the bun shop owner, these seven or eight people all had the intention of quitting.
The main thing is that the boss of the bun shop is too calm, and he looks completely confident.
He didn't seem to be afraid of the other party's large number of people at all, and he didn't even care whether these people would bully others and suddenly attack.
In addition, the person at the eighth level has become his disciple, so even if he wants to use violence, it may not be easy.
"This is a secret realm... This is a secret realm... Don't be impulsive..." Everyone said in their hearts, trying to keep themselves as steady as possible.
After looking around, these people finally shook their heads and said that they did not want to learn yet, but they could consider it, so it would take some time.
When the bun shop owner heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Okay, okay, since you all have this intention, then think about it carefully. My family lives here. If you have made up your mind, come to me, or just find my apprentice directly!"
"Okay, let's not disturb you for now. Goodbye."
After saying that, the seven or eight people quickly turned around and left, not even daring to look back.
On the way, someone said: "Do you think...this bun shop owner has a weird feeling?"
"Now I can tell with my toes that he is not simple, why do you think he is weird?"
"No, I'm just weird. We were all peeping outside, but he didn't notice anything at all. He cares, and he also said that he wants us to become his disciples...
I feel like he wants to accept us as his disciples."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
They were thinking seriously, and suddenly someone said: "I don't think what he taught that person just now has any technical content at all. Could it be that he knew that we were outside, so he deliberately faked it just to make it for everyone? Did we watch it?”
"But I think he deliberately didn't close the door and left such a big gap, just to show us! If he wanted to show it to us, why did he lie again?"
As soon as he said this , everyone fell into a brief silence again.
There are many people with mixed opinions and different ideas.
But at this moment, another person said: "By the way...is there such a possibility?
That bun shop owner does have real skills, maybe he has something else to hide. God-level skills or powerful props
We are now just like in a game. Everyone here is NPC. As long as you trigger the hidden task and follow the task, you can get rewards?
Is the hidden mission of the steamed bun shop just to eat steamed buns?
That man triggered the mission because he ate steamed buns, so the boss of the steamed bun shop would take him back?
When he completes those, will he be rewarded? ”
As soon as he heard this, someone looked at him strangely.
"Brother, have you played too many games and become obsessed with playing? This is a secret realm! It's a secret realm! Do you know what the secret realm is? You think we are downloading a copy of the game, right? We've also received rewards. ? If it were that easy, I would cut off my head. I'll play it like a ball for you!"
"..."
Everyone was speechless. It wasn't that this person's speech just now was a bit too exciting, but the one who thought this place was like a game. People do think of things too simply.
If eating something can really trigger the mission, then this steamed bun shop was not the only one that wanted them to eat before.
In this way, will it be possible to trigger tasks and get rewards by eating those things?
If it were really that simple, then this secret realm would be too cheap.
That’s what it is said, and it’s the same principle. But once this idea pops up, some people can’t help but think about it.
For a while, some people were ready to make a move, wondering whether they should give it a try?
At this time, someone else said: "This is a strange place now. Everything seems peaceful on the surface, but there is something weird everywhere. Since we are all from outside, how about we work together? !
If we can find a large force, it will be much easier for us no matter what we do!”
This proposal was immediately approved by everyone, and some people suggested that the previous people be called together.
In short, there is strength in numbers.
But another person said: "It's getting dark now, where are we going? I always feel that this city is very weird..."
"But I feel that it is more weird outside the city. You saw such a strange and desolate scene when you entered the city, right? If you spend the night outside, I think it would be more dangerous than in the city."
"This..."
"How about we find a place to rest for the night first?"
"Okay! Let's gather the others together now, and then find a hotel to stay for the night!"
>"You are wrong. This is an ancient city, so it is not called a hotel, but an inn!"
"Isn't there a lot of people wearing modern clothes?"
"..."
Yes, it is obviously an ancient city, but the people in the city, in addition to those wearing ancient clothes, are also modern, and even from all eras.
…………
On the other side, the owner of the bun shop smiled when he saw that the group of people had left.
His expression was always relaxed and his smile was very happy and bright.
"There should be two more people on the roof." He raised the corners of his mouth and whispered.
A ladder was moved from the corner of the yard, placed on the eaves and climbed up.
But when he got on the roof, he found that there was no one on it.
He looked up at the sky and saw that it was already evening.
"Have you left already?" The bun shop owner said to himself: "Forget it, just leave..."
…………
In the small alley, He Wenzhi remained silent, and Bai Ruozi stood beside him quietly.
Just now, he did not wait at the door with those people to peek, but carefully went up to the roof and saw everything there.
Then when he saw those people leaving, and when he saw the bun shop owner setting up a ladder to come up, he hurriedly left.
"This bun shop owner is quite powerful!" He Wenzhi thought to himself, "He seems to have expected this..."
But even now, there are still many things to think about. Doesn’t make sense.
Bai Ruozi suddenly said at this time: "Ask brother, I feel that the bun shop owner wants to accept us as apprentices... but if he must have eaten buns before he is willing to accept apprentices, I don't think it is appropriate. I just don't know how to eat anything." , go directly to learn the art, is the boss willing? "
Upon hearing this, He Wenzhi felt that it was not impossible to give it a try. He really cared about what was going on here.
But there is no need to rush for the moment, you still need to observe again.
He Wenzhi said: "It's getting dark soon. Let's not worry. It won't be too late to wait until tomorrow to see the situation before making a decision."
"Okay, let's ask my brother." Bai Ruozi nodded.
If it was said that he was in a hurry, He Wenzhi was probably more anxious than any of them. However, he had no clues and could only start with a certain thing. Perhaps by going up one level at a time, he could find something. Clues about Huang Xiaoyan.
The two walked forward and slowly walked out of this small alley.
Just as he came out, a hurried figure suddenly bumped into him.
He Wenzhi pulled Bai Ruozi behind him, and the hurried little figure ran into his arms.
Looking down, I saw a little girl wearing white short-sleeves, a little rabbit printed on the chest, and a denim skirt underneath.
This was a man dressed in modern attire, and he looked to be less than twenty years old.
He Wenzhi helped her up, and she kept bowing her head and apologizing.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I didn't expect someone to come out here suddenly. I'm sorry...I didn't look at the road...Are you okay?"
"It's okay." He After asking, he asked again: "Why are you running in such a hurry?"
"Because it's getting dark!" the little girl said, with something strange in her eyes.
She said: "You must go back before dark, and you cannot come out after dark. This is the rule here. Don't you know?"
"I know." He Wenzhi laughed. Said: "I saw you ran in a hurry, so I thought you met a bad person."
"Bad person?" Sister-in-law My mother was stunned again and said: "How is it possible? There are no bad people in the city. Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, lives a happy life, and the family is harmonious. No one has any reason to do bad things, so where do the bad people come from?"
"...I can't say anything about feelings, right?" He Wenzhi muttered in his heart and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
When Bai Ruozi saw He Wenzhi's expression, he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.
She took a step forward and said, "Little sister, he is joking with you. Don't be the same as him. He just sees you as beautiful and wants to get close to you. Say a few more words."
"Ah. ? Ah..." When the little girl heard this, she blinked her eyes and suddenly started to dodge. She lowered her head, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she seemed very shy.
She squeaked and said: "You, you are also very handsome...very beautiful..."
"No way, little sister, you are really good-looking and very beautiful..." Cute! If I were a man, I would definitely fall in love with you!" Bai Ruozi continued.
"I, I, I..." The little girl became even more shy after being praised, and even her ears turned red.
I have to say that she is really shy. It seems that she has rarely been praised like this before, or maybe... molested?
Perhaps the people in this city are really simple and honest.
"Ah! No, no! It's going to be dark soon. I have to go back quickly." The little girl suddenly woke up and said hurriedly: "Little brother and little sister, you should go back quickly!"
"Little brother, little sister?" He Wenzhi's heart moved.
If you use such a title, you must be a modern person, right?
It seems that the other party is not only wearing modern clothes, but also a modern person?
If you put it this way, does that mean that the clothes of the era that the people in this city wear represent the people of that era?
But why do people from different eras gather here?
Is it possible that time and space are confused here?
Or maybe this is a time and space node, and many people from various eras have mistakenly entered here?
He Wenzhi thought to himself and said: "Little sister, we live on the other side of the city. It's this time now. I'm afraid we won't be able to get back before dark..."
"Ah ? This...but there are regulations in the city that you can't stay outside at night. "..." The little girl looked very worried. She thought for a while and suddenly said: "My house is right in front. How about you stay at my place for one night and then go back tomorrow?"
"Okay! Thank you so much, sister!" He Wenzhi nodded in thanks.
That’s what he said.
"No need to thank you, just think of it as an apology for bumping into you just now." The little girl said this.
He Wenzhi smiled and said nothing, and got a free accommodation.
But he was still curious, why does this city have a rule that you can't stay outside at night?
He thought about it carefully and remembered that when he first came in, he met a young man.
The young man also reminded him not to go out, because it was almost night and it would be dangerous outside the city.
This is understandable, because He Wenzhi has already gone out of the city to see it. It is probably dangerous during the day, let alone at night.
But why are there restrictions in the city?
He asked this innocent and shy little girl thoughtfully, but she still said: "This has always been the rule in the city!"
What she said It seems to mean that it is just like this without any reason.
It's like, that's the default.
At the same time, He Wenzhi also asked sideways what the name of this city was, and the little girl said: "This is called Wuyou City, which means Wuyou City. ”
He Wenzhi nodded, this name really suited this city.
The people inside live and work in peace and contentment, and live a very happy life. They are really carefree.
Finally, He Wenzhi asked tactfully about something he was currently more curious about, which was why everyone in this city wore clothes from different eras. If they really all came from Different eras, so do they themselves know this?
However, the little girl’s answer was still the same as before.
“It’s always been like this? Everyone is like this, what’s so surprising?”
This answer is still the default.
In other words, people here actually have no awareness of this at all?
He Wenzhi had doubts in his heart, and then asked the little girl if she knew Lanyue Mountain, or Tianji Mountain, and if she had heard of Xuanwu Pavilion.
However, the little girl said she had never heard of it.
She said: "There are no mountains in Wuyou City, but there are quite a few outside the city... But it is dangerous outside the city and few people go out, so I don't know."
In this regard, He Wenzhi could only nod helplessly.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the residence.
This is a simple house with a small yard in the middle, a tree planted in the yard, and a well next to it.
After pushing the door and walking in, the little girl shouted: "Grandma, grandma!"
"Oh, it's coming, it's coming!" An old man's voice came from inside.
As the voice appeared, an old woman with a wrinkled face, a stooped body, and a cane came out of the house.
"You wild girl! You didn't know you were coming back until this hour! It's almost dark!" Grandma complained.
“Hee hee.” The little girl smiled and said, “I went out to play today and ran a little far, so I wasted some time. I’m back before dark!”
Grandma held the little girl’s hand and smiled lovingly.
At this time, she looked at He Wenzhi and Bai Ruozi again and said, "Xiaoyu, these two are...?"
"Oh, I forgot to say it, hehe." Xiaoyu knocked on his head and said hurriedly: "These are the brothers and sisters I met on the road. They live too far away and there is no time to go back, so I invited They will stay at our house for one night and then go back at dawn tomorrow."
"Oh, that's right. Ah!" Lao Nainian looked at He Wenzhi and Bai Ruozi up and down with her cloudy eyes, and suddenly asked: "Where are you from?"
He Wenzhi thought about when he entered the city. After comparing the direction of the city and its current location, he pointed to the opposite direction in the city.
When the old lady saw this, she looked at him without saying a word, staring straight at him with a pair of cloudy eyes. After a while, she said: "It turns out that he is from the west of the city... Since he is a small fish If you bring it back, then stay here first Stay one night!"
Following that, she pointed to the house on the left and said, "That's the guest room. The bedding and sheets are placed in the cabinet inside. You can lay them down by yourself when you sleep. Just fine.”
"Okay, thank you, grandma." He Wenzhi thanked Bai Ruozi very politely.
The old lady nodded and said: "You young people, let's talk first. I'll go to the kitchen to heat up the food first. It's not too early now, so finish your dinner early and rest early."
< br>"Grandma, you don't have to bother. We ate outside and we're not hungry." Bai Ruozi said a polite word.
"Then you go in first and tidy up the place where you sleep at night, and I will heat up food for me and Xiaoyu." The old woman said and walked into the kitchen.
Bai Ruozi: "..."
Shouldn't polite words be answered with polite words?
Why is this old lady not polite at all?
She was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Xiaoyu giggled and said, "My grandma is like this when she gets older. Sometimes she is still nagging... Don't mind it!"
said Then, she took Bai Ruozi's hand and said: "Little sister, little brother, come with me, I will take you into the house to have a look."
She pulled Bai Ruozi into the guest room with cheerful steps. He Wenzhi looked back at the direction of the kitchen and followed closely.
This room is very simple, with only one bed and a cabinet next to it.
The room is quite clean and there is no dust on the bed.
Xiaoyu fetched a basin of water and wiped the bed board with a rag. After drying, she took out the bedding and sheets from the cabinet and spread them neatly.
Bai Ruozi watched from the side and helped from time to time. He Wenzhi would also do it himself when he saw something heavy.
This girl named Xiaoyu is innocent and enthusiastic. Not only does she love to laugh, but she is also very agile when working.
Pretty good.
After doing this, she wiped the sweat on her forehead with her arm and said, "You guys talk first, I will help grandma cook."
"Okay."
< br>“Thank you for your hard work, Sister Xiaoyu.”
The two of them were talking.
Xiaoyu smiled and shook his head to express that he was not working hard.
Just like that, after Xiaoyu left, only He Wenzhi and Bai Ruozi were left in the room.
Looking left and right, Bai Ruozi lowered his head and said: "There is only one room..."
"Yes."
"There is only one bed..."
"Yeah."
"Then let's..."
"You can just sleep by yourself at night, I won't sleep. ”
“Oh, oh...”
Bai Ruozi responded and sat on the bed with his head lowered.
She put her hands between her legs, her white hair fell down, covering her face, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
He Wenzhi stood by the window, looking at the scene in the yard through the window, and then turned his eyes to the kitchen.
There is smoke coming from the chimney, and even in the room, you can hear the sound of cooking.
Although there may be modern people in this city, there are no modern equipment and everything is still the way it was in ancient times.
After all, this city is an ancient city.
So now they cook with firewood.
Soon, the movement there stopped. Xiaoyu walked out of the kitchen with a smile on his face, and came here and knocked on the door.
"Brother and sister, the food is ready. Do you want to come and have some too?"
Bai Ruozi stood up, opened the door, shook his head, and said: "No need, we are not hungry now, sister Xiaoyu and grandma should eat first!"
"Are you really not going to eat?" Xiaoyu tilted his head and asked.
“I really don’t want to eat it.”
“Okay then…”
After saying that, the little fish left like this.
Actually, outside, He Wenzhi and Bai Ruozi didn't eat at all, but seeing the unusual reaction of the man who ate the buns, He Wenzhi became a little wary.
Although there is no guarantee that all the food in this city is defective, it must be taken just in case, because this is a secret realm.
Bai Ruozi was also on guard, and since He Wenzhi had already said she would not eat, she would naturally not say that she wanted to eat again.
But before entering, both of them prepared backpacks filled with food.
It’s just that Bai Ruozi didn’t pretend much, because she came in with the large force of the Corpse Clan Friendly Faction.
At that time, the zombie tribe’s large army also had two transport trucks prepared by themselves, which were filled with food and water.
So Bai Ruozi packed some things besides food and water in his bag.
For example, replacement underwear and panties.
But now due to random teleportation, she was completely separated from the large army. It is estimated that the entire zombie friendly faction was dispersed due to this factor.
The two transport vehicles should have been teleported to different places, but I don’t know whether the people in the vehicles were with the vehicles or dispersed.
It can be said now that many plans at the beginning have been disrupted.
For example, Li Ziru said at the beginning that the Demon Suppression Division would also prepare many transport vehicles to come in, but now we have encountered such a situation. It is estimated that those transport vehicles will not know where they will go after they come in. The originally scheduled supply points and so on. It’s already difficult to achieve.
Those who come in, including members of the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau and the Demon Suppression Division, can only rely on their own abilities to live in this secret realm.
"I hope everyone will have good luck!" He Wenzhi thought to himself, and then he thought of other things.
When he asked Xiaoyu what this city was called before, he actually wanted to give it a try.
What if this city is called Spring City?
When he came in, he had seen the mural before in the Tianchi Mountain Underground Palace.
It was an ancient city, the predecessor of Spring City.
If this city is Spring City, then there will be Lanyue Mountain in it, and there will be Xuanwu Pavilion on the mountain.
Such a symbolic existence, and it is also an inheritance from ancient times. If we can really find it, we might be able to get information about Huang Xiaoyan.
I don’t know why, but He Wenzhi always feels this way in his heart.
The two souls and seven souls that Huang Xiaoyan was separated from were definitely not simple, otherwise there would be no need to be locked up in a secret realm.
It's just a pity that through Xiaoyu's answer, He Wenzhi has already learned that this place is called Wuyou City, and there is no Lanyue Mountain or Xuanwu Pavilion in the city.
No matter how much information there is, it will be gone.
At this moment, Xiaoyu came over and knocked on the door again.
She had finished her dinner, and when she knocked on the door, she brought a basin of hot water with a towel on it.
"Little brother and little sister, it's getting late, you should go to bed early." Xiaoyu said.
"Thank you, Xiaoyu." Bai Ruozi said.
In fact, they can get hot water for washing themselves, and there is no need for the other party to do so.
"You're welcome, sister." Xiaoyu shook his head, put down the basin, and said, "Just pour the water in the yard after washing."
"Okay." Bai Ruozi responded. There was a sound.
At this time, Xiaoyu glanced at He Wenzhi who was standing by the window, and then looked at Bai Ruozi.
She suddenly said in a low voice: "Brother, little sister, my house only has one guest room. Is it convenient for you two?"
He Wenzhi and Bai Ruozi did not speak.
Xiaoyu said again: "Otherwise! Little sister, you sleep with me at night. I sleep in the same room by myself. You can just sleep with me."
Bai Ruozi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I can just sleep here."
"Oh~" Xiaoyu nodded with a bright smile on his face: "So you really have that kind of relationship! Then I'm leaving!"
After Xiaoyu left, Bai Ruozi said: "This little girl, It’s really enthusiastic!”
“Yes, it’s a bit too enthusiastic.” He Wenzhi nodded, “People in the whole city are not ordinary enthusiastic.”
After that, he stared at the basin of water but did not move.
I can’t say why, it just feels too enthusiastic and something feels wrong.
When Bai Ruozi saw this, he didn't touch the basin of water and just closed the door.
After that, the two of them took out some things from their backpacks and ate a little to cushion their stomachs.
Time passed by, and the sky gradually became darker. At this time, through the window, only a faint light could be seen, and some outlines of things outside could be vaguely seen.
The trees in the yard looked pitch black, like a tall, thin shadow standing there.
The room also looked pitch black, as if layers of dark ghosts had been stretched infinitely and overlapped.
He Wenzhi walked back from the window, took out a lighter and lit the oil lamp on the table.
The dim firelight lit up in the room.
Dong dong dong!
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door again.
This is the third time I have knocked on the door.
Bai Ruozi stood up and wanted to open the door, but He Wenzhi stopped her and shook his head at her.
He motioned to Bai Ruozi to sit down first, and then walked to the door himself.
"Who?" he asked.
"It's me." The old woman's voice came from outside the door.
He Wenzhi looked back at Bai Ruozi, then opened the door.
He put a smile on his face, trying to look as kind as possible.
"Grandma, it's going to be completely dark. You haven't rested yet. What's the matter?"
The grandma's cloudy eyes turned and she looked around the room. After taking a look, he said: "It's nothing, I just came to tell you. Go to bed early at night, even if you can’t sleep, don’t come out!”
“Remember, no matter what happens or you hear any noise, don’t open the door, don’t open the window, and don’t come out! !”
The old lady reminded again.
He Wenzhi frowned secretly, but still smiled and showed a curious look.
Just listen to him ask: "Grandma, why is this?"
"How can young people have so many reasons?" the old grandma said.
He Wenzhi: "It's because I'm young that I have so many reasons!"
Grandma: "..."
"I'm too lazy to tell you more!" The old lady rolled her eyes. She felt that if she kept talking, the young man would definitely talk a lot more.
She glanced around the room again, and her eyes fell on the untouched basin.
It still contained clear water, but it was completely cold. The towel was also placed on top, neatly untouched.
The old lady looked up and down, at Bai Ruozi who was sitting on the bed, and then at He Wenzhi who was standing at the door with a smile on his face.
Under the dim light, the wrinkles on her face tightened unconsciously.
The old lady said: "I poured the water out without washing. Give me back the basin and towel!"
He asked: "..."
Has this been seen?
He picked up the basin, poured water in the yard, and then handed the basin and towel to the old woman.
“Thank you grandma for your kindness.”
"Huh!" The old lady snorted coldly, took the basin with one hand, and turned away with a cane in the other.
"Go to bed early! Remember what I say! Don't go out after dark."
With that said, the old lady walked back to the house.
The empty courtyard was pitch black, and night had completely fallen at this moment.
The dim light shined through, gusts of cold wind blew in, and the fire kept swaying.
The tree in the yard seemed to be twisting under the dark night.
Squeak!
He Wenzhi closed the door, and the wooden door made a harsh sound when it turned.
He walked to the window again and closed the window.
The whole room was instantly sealed, with only the dim light of an oil lamp.
The firelight danced, and their faces seemed to flicker.
Bai Ruozi suddenly said: "Ask brother, why doesn't she let us go out at night? On the road before, Xiaoyu also said that there are regulations in the city and we cannot stay outside at night.
Although this It's an ancient city, and there were indeed curfews in ancient times. But what the old lady said just now always feels a little weird to me... "
He Wenzhi: "You don't have to think it's weird, because it is weird!"
He took a step forward, looked down at Bai Ruozi, and said, "Don't you? I feel that everyone in the entire city is extremely enthusiastic, but now only this old lady is particularly cold towards us.”
"What do you mean by asking brother...?"
"Most people are like this, but she is different. She is more like an alien!"
"Is that grandma the problem?"
“I don’t know, it’s possible that she was the only one awake when everyone was drunk, but she was the only one who had no problem.”
Bai Ruozi: “…”
He Wenzhi thought for a while and asked: "Bai Ruozi, let me ask you, do you think they are humans or ghosts?"
"They are humans." Bai Ruozi nodded and said with certainty: "Xiaoyu They have all come into contact with me, and they are indeed human beings.”
He Wenzhi also nodded. He had also come into contact with Xiaoyu and could sense that the other party was indeed a human being.
But this is a secret realm. Why are there people in the secret realm? And also a modern person?
Just thinking about it, if there are really people in this secret place, and they are all living people, then if they are not allowed out at night, could it be because there are ghosts at night?
He Wenzhi turned around and sat on the bed.
As soon as he sat down, Bai Ruozi's whole body suddenly stiffened, and he became obviously nervous.
"Anyway, let's take a look first and see if anything happens tonight, and then we'll see how the person who went to learn how to make buns fares tomorrow." He Wenzhi said. , glanced at Bai Ruozi.
Seeing that she seemed very nervous, I thought she was scared, so I sat over there again, and at the same time said: "Don't be afraid, sleep peacefully at night, even if I It won’t have any impact if I don’t sleep.”
But just as he finished speaking, Bai Ruozi became even more nervous.
She lowered her head, and her expression could not be clearly seen in the dim light. All she could see was that her two hands were grasped together, and she kept buttoning the corner of her skirt.
He asked: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No, I'm fine...Ask brother, I'm going to bed first." Bai Ruozi shook his head hurriedly, and then He quickly climbed onto the bed, turned sideways, facing the wall, with his back to He Wenzhi.
He Wenzhi didn't think much, and sat a little further into the bed, leaning his back against the wall.
From the beginning, he never thought about sleeping at night, because there were too many weird places here. If he fell asleep, who knew what would happen.
In fact, Bai Ruozi can also be asked to stay overnight, or the two of them can take time to rest separately, but He Wenzhi is worried.
If you fall asleep, it is equivalent to putting your life in the hands of others.
This is a secret realm, and he must be very alert, especially since he has to awaken Huang Xiaoyan and retrieve her separated soul.
While He Wenzhi was thinking, Bai Ruozi suddenly asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you the only one who entered the secret realm? I remember that there should be a very powerful female ghost sister beside you. Right?”
“Well, I only brought her in this time.”
"What about her? Why haven't I seen her? She is your guardian spirit, right?"
"She is asleep." He Wenzhi's voice became heavier unconsciously.
"Why...what?"
"I don't know."
"Are you worried about her now?"
"Yes, I have been thinking about how to solve her problem, but I have just entered here and I have no clue. I can only solve the problem in front of me first, and maybe I can gain something..."< br>
"Oh..." Bai Ruozi said softly He responded and said inexplicably: "You are so good to the ghost sister..."
"She is also very good to me."
"..."
Bai Ruozi stopped talking and seemed to have really fallen asleep.
Time passed by minute by minute.
In the middle of the night, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was already past one in the morning.
He suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, but then he remembered the old lady’s advice.
But you can’t pee in the room, right?
He thought for a while and decided to go out and solve the problem first.
If there really was something at night, He Wenzhi wanted to see what it was!
Getting out of bed, opened the door, and after walking out, he closed the door gently.
He looked left and right, then turned to the back of the house, where there was a simple small toilet.
To be precise, it should be the toilet.
Pushing open the toilet door and walking in, he unbuttoned his belt and started peeing.
The sound of rushing water sounded, which was very obvious in the silent night.
After he finished urinating, He Wenzhi put on his pants, turned around and opened the latrine door to go out.
But at this moment, a wrinkled old face suddenly appeared in front of him, with a pair of gray eyes staring straight at him.
Even He Wenzhi, who was used to seeing ghosts, was startled by this sudden incident.
【Spirit +1】
The increase in mental power, which has not been seen for a long time, is obtained by frightening.
"Haosheng, old lady, didn't I remind you not to come out at night?" the old lady said in a cold voice.
Under the night, the old woman held a paper lantern in her hand. Under the weak firelight, her already wrinkled face looked even more eerie and terrifying at this time.
Especially when the light is from bottom to top, it is not surprising that the underworld special effects are turned on.
He Wenzhi exhaled and said, "Grandma, can you make a little noise when you walk? I'm peeing! What if you scare me?"
"Go back! Don't gossip with me! I'm reminding you, no matter what happens, don't come out again! Close the doors and windows! Don't inquire or be curious!" As she said that, she kept staring at He. Ask.
He Wenzhi nodded, indicating that he understood, and walked towards the room.
However, at this moment, the light of candlelight suddenly lit up in the middle room, the room where Xiaoyu slept.
“嘁嘁嘁……”
A very weak voice, like a sob, sounded.
He Wenzhi turned his head and looked at the old lady who had been following him.
"Grandma, Xiaoyu is...?"
"Young man, I advise you to take care of yourself and don't ask any more questions!" The old woman frowned and said in a cold voice: "Why don't you go in quickly? !”
At the same time, she changed her tone again and spoke softly. Suicide said in Xiaoyu's room: "Xiaoyu, it was grandma who got up at night. Just go back to sleep. Nothing will happen."
When grandma finished speaking, there was a sound of rubbing in Xiaoyu's room. , and then it seemed like something fell down, and there seemed to be a shadow shaking vaguely inside.
In just the next second, the fire in Xiaoyu's house was extinguished and it became pitch black.
At this time, the old lady turned to look at He Wenzhi again: "You still look! Come in quickly!"
As she said that, she pushed He Wenzhi, and He Wenzhi He kicked his calf.
"You young man, why are you so disobedient!"
He Wenzhi glanced at Xiaoyu's room and finally entered the room.
Outside the door, the old lady told her again not to go out at night, never!
And this time, her tone was less like a reminder and more like a warning.
In the room, the oil lamp made a crackling sound, and Bai Ruozi turned around slightly.
She grabbed the corner of He Wenzhi's clothes and asked, "Brother, did you go out just now?"
"Yes."
"Did something happen? I just heard something moving outside, and then I heard your voice outside..."
He Wenzhi thought for a while and said, "Let's spend this night first. . ”
As to whether something happened, it was actually nothing special. There were still many things uncertain. He didn’t want to mislead Bai Ruozi’s judgment, so he didn’t say it directly.
However, he still said: "Bai Ruozi, if you find anything, remember to tell me in time. At the same time, you must also have your own thinking and judgment!"
"Okay, I know. ”
.........
Under the night, the entire Wuyou City was pitch black, you could not see your fingers, and layers of dark clouds were floating in the sky.
In a street and alley, two young men were squatting on the ground.
While they were smoking cigarettes and complaining, they still looked bruised and swollen.
“Damn it, what a bad luck! It’s all your bad idea!”
"How can you blame me again? You did it yourself first!"
"Then how could I have known that the shopkeeper of that inn was so powerful that he beat us like this with just a few punches."
“Oh, forget it, don’t say it, just spend the night on the street like this. No one will see us anyway, and no one will know when we go out. It’s not embarrassing.”
Speaking of which, these two people are also stupid and unlucky.
The awakened people and practitioners who came in before all gathered together, but these two people were the only ones who failed to catch up.
Later, when it got dark, they wanted to find a place to spend the night, but they had no money.
Not many people carry cash when they go out these days. They either bring a card or scan a QR code to pay.
However, none of this is possible in the secret realm.
And this is a secret realm. Even if you bring cash from outside, it may not be usable.
Especially, no one knows that this secret realm will be like this.
They didn't want to live on the streets, so they wanted to discuss whether they could get the money on credit first.
The shopkeeper said that they can pay on credit, as long as they are willing to stay and work here.
However, they did not want to work, and then they had an inexplicable quarrel, and finally started fighting directly.
It’s just that they were really unlucky and failed to catch up with the main force. Only the two of them were left behind.
But to start a quarrel and then start a fight, it is indeed a bit foolish. After all, it is still a secret place, and nothing is understood inside.
So in the end, one of them was at the fifth level of [Hirakure] and the other was at the sixth level, and they were punched into pig heads by the innkeeper.
If it weren’t for the simple folk customs here, I’m afraid their end would be even worse.
The two of them were smoking cigarettes, and one of them was playing with a lighter out of boredom.
There was a constant sound of popping popping, the fire light was on and off, and the faces of the two people appeared and disappeared into the darkness.
But in the next second.
Snap!
As the lighter was lit, the man on the left suddenly saw a ghostly face right in front of him.
It was almost face to face. It was a pair of grimacing faces with cross-eyed eyes and pale faces, but with two round cheeks.
This sudden scene made the man tremble all over. His cigarette fell to the ground, and his whole body bounced back.
Pop!
But with this bullet, he felt as if he had hit something, and it was extremely cold.
A pair of hands grabbed his shoulders, and the cold air spread, as if it would freeze his whole body.
The sticky long black hair fell down, and there was a ticking sound, as if something dripped on his face, chilling his side bones.
At this moment, he found that he couldn't move, and he couldn't even move the energy in his body.
He opened his mouth and shouted: "Chen Wu! Chen Wu! Save me! Where are you!"
Just looking around, there was no sign of Chen Wu in this dark and gloomy street.
It seemed like from the beginning, he was the only one here.
…………
Early the next morning, the sky finally lit up white.
He Wenzhi stood in the yard and stretched, and Bai Ruozi also stood beside him.
Xiaoyu and the old lady also got up early.
As for what happened last night, the old lady didn't say a word, she just asked if they wanted to have breakfast. If they didn't, she wouldn't do it for them.
To be honest, this attitude is completely different from the enthusiastic way of other people in the city.
"No, thank you grandma." He Wenzhi refused, and Bai Ruozi nodded.
"That's alright, you can do whatever you want." The old lady said and walked directly into the kitchen.
Xiaoyu said reluctantly: "Brother, sister, are you leaving?"
"Yes."
"Okay...I haven't yet I won’t send you breakfast. It’s dawn now, so go home!” Xiaoyu said, holding Bai Ruozi’s hand: “Miss, you can come here to play with me when you have time!”
"Okay." Bai Ruozi nodded and showed a smile.
The two left and walked towards the bun shop where they were yesterday.
It can be said that they have arrived very early, but they did not know that the awakened people and practitioners arrived earlier than them yesterday, and they were already surrounding the bun shop.
I walked over and saw that the man who ate crystal buns yesterday was actually selling buns here.
The original boss of the steamed bun shop was nowhere to be seen either.
The boss seemed to be very relieved about the apprentice he had just accepted yesterday, and even let him stay here alone.
Others are also curious.
Then someone asked: "Where is your master?"
"What master? I don't have a master." The man said.
"Are you kidding? You just became a disciple yesterday! You don't admit it now?"
"That's right! He's the boss of the bun shop. Why didn't he show up today? Come?”
“Damn it! You must have done something to the boss of the bun shop, right?”
The man was stunned for a moment, then frowned, with obvious displeasure on his face.
"What are you talking nonsense here?! I don't have any master! Also, this bun shop belongs to me! I am the boss here! If you don't believe me, you can ask people in other shops nearby !”
Perhaps he felt that he had been slandered, there was a hint of anger in this man’s expression.
Just listen to him say: "Do you want to buy buns or not? If you don't buy buns, leave quickly. Don't block here and hinder my business!"
For a while, everyone looked at each other. , why does this person look like a completely different person? .
Suddenly someone asked: "Hey, do you still remember who I am?"
"Who are you? I have never seen you, how do I know who you are?"
< br> With more than 13,000 words, it is really heartbreaking.
