mountains and rivers dream

"Sister, do you still remember the story Shuangshuang told? There are millions of people in the Yuexu Kingdom, and they all died of a strange plague within half a month. I think... we have probably found those Yuexu Kingdom people who have died. Now..." Lu still said in a trembling voice, raising his hand and pointing towards the city gate.

Xiao Yu's eyes passed through the tall and dilapidated city gate, and had already drifted into this eerie town. And in this town, there are countless dark and ethereal things wandering around.

Their bodies were pitch black and their eyes were pale, just like the nasty little black bugs in the grass in summer, there were an astonishing number of them.

"Why did they all turn into... dark spirits?" Xiao Yu couldn't believe his eyes.

She once heard an old ghost say that if people in this world die, their souls will go to the Wandering Land. In the Wandering Land, there is a reincarnation disk for the reincarnation of the leader.

Most of the dead people choose to join the reincarnation disk after wandering in the Wandering Land. It seems that some people are obsessed with unfinished business in the world and stay in Wandering Land all year round. This is also the origin of the name of Wandering Place.

But Xiao Yu could never have imagined that those dead Yuexu people did not leave here and go to the Wandering Land, but all became dark spirits.

She once saw with her own eyes that the Fire Queen easily tortured a little devil into a dark spirit in the palace of Huoli Kingdom, and then the poor dark spirit turned into ashes in front of her because it lost all its energy.

Xiao Yu still has lingering fears about this, because Lin Keqing almost became the next person to be turned into ashes.

But the Jinhui City in front of us has obviously become a city of dark spirits.

The wealth of Yuexu Kingdom is hard to imagine just hearing it, but one can imagine the scale of Jinhui City as the city of Yuexu Kingdom.

While Xiao Yu was still shocked by the sights in front of her, people had already followed Lu Yiran into the city. Even though they knew there might be many dangers here, there was always a feeling pulling them, making them couldn't help but step inside.

Xiao Yu's body was a little stiff due to fear, and they walked slowly. These dark spirits kept passing through their bodies, and some of them whimpered over and over again in their ears, not knowing what grievances they were talking about.

The screams of ghosts are endless, and most of the buildings on both sides of the road cannot be seen in their original appearance. Generally speaking, they just have the layout of an imperial city like Yandu, with restaurants, shops, and bustling existence everywhere. traces of passing.

However, with just a cursory glance at the size of Jinhui City, Xiao Yu could roughly tell how there used to be four flames as big as each other.

And those dark spirits, all with white eyes, are floating aimlessly, occasionally wandering into a restaurant, and some are always floating straight in the air, looking up at the strange... The angle is like breaking your neck.

But these dark spirits also have something in common, that is, their expressions are all extremely painful and sorrowful. Xiao Yu feels shocked every time he bumps into one.

I also feel sad in my heart, wondering what kind of pain I went through in my life, that after death I couldn't even maintain my soul and body, and fell to the point of becoming a dark spirit that could disappear at any time...

"Sister, it seems they can't see us?" Lu Yiran cautiously shuttled between these dark spirits, not wanting to have so much contact with them at all.

In Xiao Yu's opinion, since they entered the city, these dark spirits have been doing whatever they should, and they seem to have no reaction to their existence. "It seems like this...but we still have to be careful." Xiao Yu didn't know why, but she always felt something strange in her subconscious since she stepped in here.

It was like she had overlooked something but couldn't remember it. This feeling gave her a strong sense of crisis, as if her heart would sink every time she took a step forward.

On the other hand, Lu Yiran, who was very scared just now, now seemed much calmer. She seemed to be very interested in Jinhui City and these dark spirits. Before Xiao Yu could remind her that there might be danger, she had already walked a long way.

"Sister, can you hear what they are saying?" Lu Yiran walked gently among the dark spirits, moving nimbly between them, and turned towards Xiao Yu and asked.

But looking at the dark spirits wandering aimlessly in the streets and alleys, Xiao Yu could only see their expressions of pain and despair, and could only hear the whimpering cries of ghosts and howls. The rest was really difficult for her to distinguish.

She looked around with caution, but also shook her head: "I only heard some singing when I found you missing, but I couldn't hear what was being sung specifically."

But Lu Yiran showed a sad expression at this time. She raised her head and looked at the tall and dilapidated buildings around her, as well as the streets and alleys where the original appearance could still be roughly seen. These kinds of things once existed, but in a short period of time, The things that disappeared tragically within a short period of time seemed to make her particularly sad.

"I can hear it, I've been hearing it since just now. They seem to be waiting for someone, that person... who can send them where they should go." Lu Yiran's voice trembled, and there seemed to be a sob in his throat.

"What happened in Yuexu Kingdom happened more than a hundred years ago. We have no way of knowing what they went through. But the dead people turned into dark spirits and wandered here...for more than a hundred years, it is really pitiful! Lu still stretched out his hand, stroking a broken wall on the street, and said sadly.

But at this moment, Xiao Yu's heart suddenly sank, and a very bad feeling came over her. She had verified it many times at that time: it was her subconscious that was reminding her that something dangerous was about to happen.

This sudden ominous premonition made Xiao Yu eager to leave this place.

"Ranran, I think we should leave here first. If you find anything, you should wait until we go out and find Uncle Gui...hiss!" Xiao Yu was about to remind Lu Yiran that there might be potential dangers here when he suddenly felt a pain in his arm.

She snorted in pain, and when she looked down, she found that the clothes on her left arm were stained red with blood. After a closer look, she realized that she had been cut with something sharp, and the cut was not shallow, and the blood was warm. It started to fall to the ground.

"Sister, you're injured!" Seeing that Xiao Yu was injured for no apparent reason, Lu Yiran exclaimed and ran towards Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu's face suddenly turned pale, the snow sword in his hand suddenly transformed into his hand, and he flew to Lu Yiran's side at the fastest speed, dragging her to his side.

"It seems like someone is nearby!" She endured the pain and reminded her on the road.

"Who is he? Hei Tianxiaohuo has the ability to sneak attack, but he has no ability to show up!" Xiao Yu's senses were fully expanded, and even the power of his left eye was opened to the limit, and he vigilantly explored the surroundings. (End of chapter)
