Hearing this, He Wenzhi's eyes widened, and his expression changed dramatically.
He looked at the old grandma and said in surprise: "Ghost town? So... the whole city is full of ghosts?"
"Yes, Xiaoyu and I are too." The old grandma said, Then he said: "So, this is not the place you should come. What are you good living people doing in this ghost town?"
Following that, the old lady told some of the details and why. The questions that concerned me from the beginning were explained one by one.
It is true that Wuyou City is a ghost town, but Wuyou City has its own rules, so this is the situation where people are human during the day and become ghosts at night.
The reason why Wuyou City is called Wuyou City is because the "people" living here live a carefree life.
Even this carefreeness may be just an illusion.
According to the old lady, Wuyou City is more like a home for the dead. If the people after death have no obsessions or have been transcended, they will come to Wuyou City.
Since I have come here, I will naturally stay and live here.
People living here will forget the past and live their present life wholeheartedly.
No disputes, no worries.
Even if you die and become a ghost, the rules of Wuyou City can still give the ghosts living here a chance to become human again.
That is to say, you are a human being during the day and a ghost at night.
But after all, it is a ghost, and it is impossible to truly be a human being here, so it is only maintained during the day.
All of this is the shelter provided by Wuyou City.
It is also because of this that we see people wearing clothes from various eras in this city.
Because when they died, they were living in different eras.
Everything in the past has been forgotten, so naturally they will not feel strange about this situation.
In their understanding, everything should be like this from the beginning.
After hearing these words, He Wenzhi suddenly wondered, could this Worry-free City be the [Place of Rebirth] that he and Li Ziru had discussed?
He Wenzhi had seen the gate of the secret realm in the memory of the zombie girl.
The sea of stars at that time was like a gathering of stars that the undead became after being redeemed, and the door was in that sea of stars.
At that time, when He asked, he speculated whether there was a place of death behind the door.
Now it seems that the undead have come to this place, forgotten the past, and started a new life.
In this case, it is actually quite appropriate to call this place a place of death.
But since it is already the place of death, why do we need to find a substitute?
Could it be that in this world, after death, the soul comes here first, and then needs to find a substitute so that it can be reincarnated?
No matter how you think about it, it feels a bit outrageous.
On this point, He Wenzhi also asked.
But regarding this aspect, the old lady didn’t give an accurate answer because she didn’t know it herself.
Although she was also a deceased person and finally came to Wuyou City, she did not eat the food inside like others.
As long as you don’t eat those things, you can maintain your will.
This is also the reason why the old lady goes out to find food every day and never gets it in Wuyou City.
She doesn’t want to forget the past.
Although the people in Wuyou City really seem to live a carefree life, it still feels unreal.
In fact, Xiaoyu is not her real granddaughter, but one arranged for her by Wuyou City.
This is the same for all the dead who entered Wuyou City.
Whether it is work or identity, as long as you come to this worry-free city, you will have it.
When she saw Xiaoyu, she had already eaten the food and had forgotten everything in the past, so she would have no problem eating it now.
The old lady didn't lose her memory, but she could only live like this. Over time, she became attached to Xiaoyu and truly regarded her as her granddaughter.
But the old grandma also discovered something, that is, although she has never eaten those things, the longer she stays here, she will slowly be eroded by it.
The most obvious thing is that the old woman’s memory of the past is slowly disappearing.
She can't remember many things in the past now. Maybe it won't be long before even if she doesn't eat those things, one day she will be like those people.
That’s why she kept warning He Wenzhi to leave quickly.
Because the longer you stay, the greater the possibility of being eroded, until in the end, you can no longer leave.
At this time, He Wenzhi asked: "Grandma, you said that Wuyou City has its own rules. If you don't eat the food here, won't you be discovered?"
< br>The old lady said: "Xiaoyu and I live a good life, abide by the laws and regulations, and have never violated any of these laws.
And I have never gone out at night, and I have never encountered those ghosts that haunt Wuyou City at night
As long as I don't get caught by them. , I won’t take the initiative to violate the rules, and nothing will happen.”
The old woman said and sighed again.
"Alas... But even if I don't do anything, I will still be like them in the end..." She said, then looked at He Wenzhi: "Then again, as living people , how did you enter this place?”
“Just came in through a door.” He Wenzhi said this, very simple, but it is also true.
After hearing this, the old lady rolled her eyes, obviously not believing it so easily.
However, she did not ask any more questions, but said directly: "Have you found the door yet? Can you go back?"
He Wenzhi: "..."
Should we say that he has matured with age? The other party guessed it all at once?
He Wenzhi chose to skip this topic.
From the conversation just now and what happened in the past two days, there are several things that can be completely determined.
That is, if you eat something, you will be assimilated into Wuyou City. The Awakened One is the best example.
And if you eat something, it will become a substitute. It is not yet known where the souls who have been replaced have gone.
At the same time, there are powerful ghosts patrolling the city at night in Wuyou City. In the words of the old lady, those are the guards.
Although it is forbidden to go out at night, if a living person has eaten those things or bought them, it is equivalent to a substitute, or a substitute candidate.
As long as these are in place, it is not illegal for ghosts in Wuyou City to go out at night, so the guards will not do anything to them.
But if there is no replacement and you go out at night, you will be destroyed or eaten by the guards.
He Wenzhi said: "Grandma, do you think that if the guards in Wuyou City disappeared, those restrictions would disappear?"
When the old grandma heard this, her eyes suddenly widened.
"You kid killed a few ghosts last night, but now they are gone, right? Those guards can guard this city, do you really think you are comparable to those ghosts? I advise you not to What a mess! You should at least think about the girl next to you!"
Bai Ruozi: "It doesn't matter. Yes, I will support my brother no matter what he does!"
"..." The old lady rolled her eyes, but then she suddenly thought about it and said, "If you are really capable, then go ahead and kill him! Yes, although I don't know what your purpose is, there is one thing I must tell you.
Wuyou City has the rules of Wuyou City. If you go too far and violate the rules of Wuyou City, you will definitely be punished by the rules! ”
“Rule punishment? "He Wenzhi's eyes lit up again.
What kind of battle has he not fought before? But he has really never been exposed to this "rule", but he is very curious and even a little looking forward to it.
When the old lady saw He Wenzhi’s reaction, she was speechless again.
What’s going on with this kid? Why is he still so happy when he knows he will be punished? !
But she still said: "Of course the rules won't do anything to you, but they can suppress you. If you are really strong enough to ignore the suppression of the rules, then they will probably kick you out directly."
“Kick him out?”
“You can never enter the city again.”
“So that’s it!” He Wenzhi crossed his chest with one hand and touched his chin with the other. He looked thoughtful.
When the old lady saw this, she suddenly hit the ground with her cane, and said angrily: "You bastard! Old lady, I thought that you were still alive, and I tried to persuade you, why are you so ignorant of good and evil? Don’t want to listen?”
He Wenzhi: "Grandma, don't get excited. I just thought about it and won't actually do it. I will only kill a few at most."
"How many...?" The old grandma stared. , pointing to the door: "Get out! You go! Old lady, I don't want to see you now!"
He Wenzhi said with a smile on his face: "Then let me ask a few more questions."
The old lady didn't speak, she just closed her eyes and didn't think much about it.
She feels so angry now. She thinks about him wholeheartedly, but this brat just doesn’t listen?
She thought about it and finally took a deep breath.
"Forget it, I have tried to persuade him. He insists on dying and I can't control it anymore." The old lady thought in her heart and said, "Ask me."
"Yes. I wonder if grandma has ever heard of this. Lanyue Mountain, or Tianqi Mountain? Have you heard of Xuanwu Pavilion? There is also a female ghost named Huang Xiaoyan, do you know? "
The old lady blinked her eyes. The boy has so many questions!
She thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what you're asking about, but you can leave the city and walk all the way east. There is a village there, and there is a river not far from the village.< br>
It is said that there is a river god there, and he should know more things.
If you can find the river god, you may be able to find what you want to know. "
Although the old lady said this, she still looked at He Wenzhi with a strange look.
" Brat, the deceased has passed away, so don't force it anymore. . "
He Wenzhi was stunned: "Grandma, do you think I want to take the deceased away from here? ”
"Then why are you here?"
He Wenzhi just said that he was looking for someone, so the old lady suddenly thought of this.
It’s just that He Wenzhi didn’t explain anything. After all, if he really found Huang Xiaoyan’s souls, he would indeed take them away.
If you think about it this way, there seems to be no difference.
Finally, he chatted with the old lady for a while, and already had a rough plan in mind.
There are rules in Wuyou City. If you go too far, you will most likely be kicked out directly and will never be able to come back again.
If this is the case, then just kill it until it drives people away.
Anyway, I just got a clue from the old lady. Next, I need to find that village, find the river god, and then try to pry out any useful information from the river god's mouth
Just thinking about it carefully, Wuyou City is full of ghosts, so are the things outside the city creatures or what?
Are the people in that village real people, or are they just like Wuyou City?
That so-called river god, could he really be a god?
With these thoughts in mind, He Wenzhi said goodbye to the old lady. When he and Bai Ruozi walked to the street, they saw the awakened people and cultivators who had come to Wuyou City together before. together.
Everyone of them seemed to have something wrong with their expressions.
He Wenzhi also went up to inquire about it, and found out that someone had disappeared inexplicably last night.
There were less than twenty people, but three disappeared overnight yesterday!
The strength of these three is not weak, they are all between the sixth and eighth levels of [Hirakure].
Those who dared to enter this secret realm this time were all at the fifth level. Those who were even lower did not have the courage and stayed outside.
According to their description, they didn't go anywhere last night, they just stayed in the inn and slept. But when they woke up the next day, they were missing for no apparent reason.
To be honest, it is really strange that so many people gathered together and then disappeared inexplicably.
He Wenzhi thought to himself and asked: "Those people have never eaten anything here, so did they buy something?"
As soon as those people thought about it, someone nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes! They said they wanted to take something from here out as a souvenir, and they can study it carefully then!"
He asked: "..."
What a good guy, this "keep it as a souvenir" directly made people disappear.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising.
After all, these people have encountered all kinds of strange things since they came in, and they also found that they could not defeat the people in Wuyou City.
Even if they can't defeat these people, what else can they do?
I can’t do anything!
In this case, you can only stay calm and practice using the super rich spiritual energy in the secret realm.
Maybe after they go out, their strength will be much higher than those outside.
Although I feel a little suffocated here, it can be regarded as overtaking in a corner, and I can show off after I get out!
In order to leave some proof that they have been there, some people may actually want to take something with them.
If you can’t eat something, then don’t eat it. Can you just use something else?
To be honest, if those ghosts didn't come to ask He last night, he wouldn't have thought that buying things would attract the ghosts.
After all, all the previous signs only showed that problems would only occur after eating something.
But now it seems that it is much more than that, and we need to be cautious in all aspects.
Because of a mistake, it is very possible that the person is really dead.
He Wenzhi told them his findings. After all, they were all from outside. In this strange place, I would try my best to help them if I could.
Following that, He Wenzhi asked where the three people bought things yesterday.
He plans to avenge these people as well.
Because there are rules in Worry-Free City. If you make too much noise, you will most likely be forcibly kicked out by the rules.
Therefore, the strength of these "people" living in the city is not very high, at least in He Wenzhi's opinion.
It would be a pity if he could never come in again because of these "people".
So this time, He Wenzhi mainly targeted the guards of Wuyou City. Since he wanted to kill ghosts, he had to kill them powerfully.
However, after He Wenzhi heard where the three missing people went shopping last night, he called him a good guy in his heart.
These three people just wanted to leave a "memorial", so they visited seven or eight shops.
No wonder the three of them disappeared so silently last night. After all, people from seven or eight shops were dispatched at the same time. It was not difficult to get rid of the three of them.
He patted these people on the shoulders and warned them to be careful and not to mess around again.
After that, He Wenzhi left and went to the store where the three of them had been, and each bought something.
In this way, until evening, the two of them came to Xiaoyu's house again.
When there was a knock on the door, Xiaoyu opened the door with a look of surprise. Unexpectedly, his brother and sister came to play with him again.
Especially, he brought her delicious food.
But when the old lady saw the two of them, she felt more ready to hit someone with a cane.
"You brat! Why are you here again? Why don't you leave!?" She was really angry and felt that everything she said these days was in vain.
She looked at He Wenzhi angrily, and then whispered to Bai Ruozi: "Girl, listen to my advice, don't follow this brat anymore! This brat is stubborn. Just like a cow, something will happen sooner or later!"
Bai Ruozi smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry, he will be fine!"
Upon hearing this, even Bai Ruozi couldn't persuade him anymore. The old lady glared at He Wenzhi, turned around and left, but she still said something.
"It doesn't matter, you were brought back by Xiaoyu in the first place. As long as Xiaoyu is happy, you can live here as long as you like!"
"But you have to remember that sentence. If you want to, leave as soon as possible to avoid being corroded and assimilated."
Although the old lady looked unhappy, she was still thinking about why she was thinking about Bai Ruozi.
Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Grandma, what are you talking about? What about erosion and assimilation?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing. They brought you delicious food, so just eat it quickly." The old lady shook her head and showed a doting smile.
"Okay!" Xiaoyu was very happy when he heard this.
…………
Just like that, time passed by minute by minute, and it was midnight before I knew it.
In an inn, more than a dozen people gathered in a large room. These people were awakened people and cultivators from the outside world.
Ever since three people around them disappeared inexplicably last night, they had been feeling anxious and uneasy, and they didn't dare to sleep at all this night.
Even though He Wenzhi told them the reason during the day and everyone was gathered together now, their hearts still couldn't settle down.
They looked at each other. Everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts, but no one spoke.
The quiet atmosphere, coupled with the fear in my heart, made the whole room seem very depressing.
Boom!
At this moment, there was suddenly a violent noise outside, as if it was an earthquake.
The wooden floor on the second floor of the inn where they were located felt shaking under their feet.
Follow closely.
Boom!
There was another violent explosion, as if something collapsed. The vibration was worse than before. It felt like the whole inn was shaking.
One person couldn't hold back his curiosity. He opened the window a little and looked through the small crack. He was stunned.
Under the dark night, I saw a figure emitting dazzling white light, completely illuminating the surroundings.
He is like a human-shaped sun, emitting blazing heat.
He is obviously alone, but he is actually fighting a group of ghosts!
The huge noise just now was made by this humanoid sun during the battle!
This man was frightened and tried to count how many ghosts there were, but he couldn't count them at all.
He said with a trembling voice: "Hundred...hundred ghosts...night walking...!"
When the others heard this, they immediately panicked.
At the same time, another person rushed up and slapped that person on the head.
"Why don't you close the window quickly! If we are discovered later, we will all die!"
"No, it's not..." The man turned his head and said: "Yes... there is a person... He is challenging Hyakki Yakou alone!"
"What!?"
All His heart shook violently, and he pushed the man away.
“Get out of the way!”
Wow!
The window of the inn was immediately pushed open, and a group of people poked their heads in there to look.
Someone actually challenged a hundred ghosts in the middle of the night?
Could it be that the strong ones of us humans are here? The army has finally arrived?
But when they looked, they happened to see fear in the eyes of those ghosts, as if they would die if they got close to the human-shaped sun.
At this moment, I saw the humanoid sun chasing a ghost with round cheeks painted with blush, and at the same time, a man's voice came out.
"Young man~ Don't run away, brother, I haven't had enough fun yet~"
This joking voice reached the ears of those in the inn. I don't know why, but I just felt a little buzzing in my head. .
This man with white light, like the sun, is actually teasing ghosts? And it was a male ghost!
"I remember...I remember!"
At this time, a person said: "Wearing white light, burning like the sun with blazing flames! There is also this The fighting style...it’s definitely him!”
"It's [the man who eats ghosts]!"
"He's here!"
"We are saved!" (End of this chapter)
