Chapter 103 Another Dead Stone
"Is this place in Shuzhou so hot?"

After setting foot in Shuzhou, Shan Teng wiped the sweat from his face and asked Zi Tong beside him.

Zitong shook his head first, then nodded and said:

"There were a few times of great heat in Shuzhou, but... those few times were not as severe."

Stepping on the dry and cracked ground, Zitong felt complicated.

She grew up on this land, unlike her mother who always wanted to go back to her hometown, this is her hometown.

However, now that her hometown has become like this, Zitong has an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Shandeng was not as thoughtful as Zitong. He looked up at the clear night sky, threw off the coir raincoat on his body, and said to Zitong:

"Okay, the environment here has nothing to do with you and me. What we have to do now is to complete the task assigned by the young master as soon as possible."

"Well, then go to my house first, the location of my house is actually easy to find..."

Zitong cleared up her mood, and walked home with Shanto and the deacon of the chamber of commerce who had regained some wisdom but forgot who she was.

Zitong's home is actually far away from the border of Shuzhou, closer to Shiwanda Mountain.

Shuzhou is the only state city in the southeast of Daqi. To the north is Yanzhou, to the northwest is Jingzhou, and to the southwest are Longzhou and Ningzhou.

Except for Shuzhou, no other place is bordered by Shiwan Dashan, which means that if you want to go to Shiwanda Mountain, you must pass through Shuzhou.

Zitong's mother had fled from the Shiwan Dashan and settled here. The location is relatively close to the direction of the Shiwan Dashan. It would take two days to go on the road at full speed.

But none of the three people present was human, and Zitong turned into a giant wolf and galloped on the ground with the other two, and arrived at the place where Zitong lived in less than a night.

It was a forest, at least it used to be a forest.

But now this forest has become a land of dead wood, without the greenness of the past, and the corpses of dead animals are everywhere.

"Again, I hate it here."

The tree vines on his body were all yellowed mountain vines, looking at the dead trees and making a disgusted sound.

Shantou's blood ghost technique is related to trees and plants, so for Shantou, plants and trees are his partners. However, since entering the border of Shuzhou, Shantou has rarely seen complete plants and trees. Even because of the hot weather, The vines covering his body were also more or less burnt yellow.

That's why Yamato hates this place so much.

"...it wasn't like this before here."

Zitong's words had some inexplicable meanings.

She still remembers running in this forest when she was a child, accompanied by the wild wolves in the forest with her mother, went out to hunt with her every day, and lived a very happy life.

Even if her mother has passed away and Zitong is forced to leave the forest to wander around, she will often think of the beauty of the past.

But now...

There is nothing here.

"Wait, it smells like humans..."

Zitong was sad for a while, and suddenly caught a little human scent in the dry air.

She let go of her sad mood, her nose twitched slightly, and followed the smell to the depths of the dry woods, then suddenly she was startled suddenly, and her steps quickly rushed towards the depths.

Seeing this, Shan Teng immediately led the newborn ghost to catch up with Zi Tong, and after a while, they came to a small wooden house deep in the forest.

And in front of the wooden house, I saw a man with bony hands who was about to die.

"You know him?"

Seeing the man collapsed in front of the wooden house, Shanto asked Zitong in surprise.

He thought she knew the man on the ground, otherwise why would she run this way so excitedly just now.

But Zitong shook her head and said:

"No, I just smelled the smell of humans in front of my house, I thought..."

Zi Tong thought that someone had broken into her home, so she ran over at a faster pace.

But looking at it now, Zitong misunderstood, it was just a refugee who came from nowhere and came here in exile, and was about to die here.

Looking at the man who was about to die on the ground, Zitong squatted down to check his breath, and then asked Shanto:
"Is there water?"

"There is one more thing, do you want to give him? Or just eat him and forget it."

Shantou said disgustedly.

He will have water on his body to replenish water for the plants on his body, not for the human beings on the ground to drink.

Instead of giving it to a dying person, it is better to eat him directly to replenish their energy.

Zitong saw Shantou's disgust, she explained:

"Give him water first, let him wake up, let's inquire about the situation, and then you can do whatever you want."

"Tsk, here you are."

When Zi Tong said this, Shan Teng couldn't refuse. He took out a water bottle from the vines under his cloak and threw it to Zi Tong.

Zitong half squatted on the ground, helped up the skinny man on the ground, opened his chapped and bleeding lips, and poured water into his mouth.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

Although the man is about to die, he still retains the most basic survival instinct. As soon as he feels the presence of water, even if his consciousness is not clear, his body will instinctively crave the water in the pot.

But within a few breaths, most of the half pot of water was gone, and the man's complexion improved a lot, at least he seemed to be back from death.

"He shouldn't wake up until later, you can take care of him, I'll go in and have a look first."

Zitong gave Shanto a word of advice, then turned and walked into the wooden house.

Wisteria's house is not very big, and her mother is not a great survival master. The wooden house built with wooden boards is not very regular. Zitong's tall body now walks in, and she even feels like bumping her head.

But entering it, Zitong feels very warm, even though the place is already covered with dust, even if there is no half popularity here, Zitong still feels that she is home.

"Mother……"

Closing his eyes, his purple pupils fluttered his nostrils slightly, as if he could smell his mother's scent in the room where his mother had passed away.

Of course Zitong knew that this was impossible, her mother had been dead for many years, even if the smell could linger, it would not stay for so long, Zitong just did it subconsciously.

however……

Zi Tong really smelled her mother's breath.

"!!!"

Opening his eyes suddenly, Zi Tong's gaze scanned the room left and right, and finally locked on the bed in the room.

The mother's breath comes from here, under that bed... no, it's a deeper place, under that floor!
"how is this possible……"

Zitong's first thought was that it was impossible.

How is this possible? My mother has been dead for so many years. Even if there are really some things left behind, and no one has cared for them or touched them for so many years, the breath on those things should all dissipate.

But... the breath that Zitong smelled now is not fake. After she became a ghost, her sense of smell has been greatly improved. Now that she uses the blood ghost technique, no smell can escape her nose.

So there's definitely something under there.

Thinking of this, Zitong didn't hesitate anymore. She swung her sharp claws to lift off her own bed board and the ground under the bed board. After digging a distance of about one meter, Zi Tong finally found the place where her mother's smell remained. s things.

It was a box about half the height of a person. The box was made of a special metal, and a lock without a keyhole was hung on it.

And the smell of mother came from this box.

"No key... and no lock?"

Zitong flipped through the box for a long time, stared at the lock on it for a long time, but couldn't find the position of the keyhole.

She was wondering how to open the box until her hand touched the lock.

As if sensing something, a burst of purple patterns emerged on the outside of the lock. These purple patterns flowed on the lock surface, and finally gathered at the place connected to the box, shining with a faint purple light.

Finally, with a 'click', the entire lock fell from the box and fell to the ground.

"..."

It was the first time she saw such a pure purple pupil and was silent for a long time. She bent down silently to pick up the lock, checked it carefully and put it back in her pocket, then opened the box and looked at the things inside.

There are not many things inside, a pure white thin cloak, a piece of irregular jade that is no different from ordinary jade, and a yellowed envelope.

There are four words written on the envelope.

Zi Tong kissed.

……

It has been raining heavily in Ningzhou for two days, and people from Pinghu Division have already come to deal with several major events in Dan'an City.

Liu Yuan was very trustworthy, he didn't say anything to the people from Pinghu Division, and regarding this matter, the people from Pinghu Division only asked Gu Chen some non-critical questions, and then let him go.

Maybe it's because Zheng Hong's reason for the Pinghu Division's patrol this time is that he let Gu Chen go so easily, otherwise Gu Chen might still be suspected by Zheng Hong.

What happened in Dan'an City had nothing to do with Gu Chen. In the rainy weather, Gu Chen told his elder brother Gu Qianjun to go to Ningzhou City to relax.

Of course Gu Qianjun agreed without saying a word.

And when Gu Chen was about to leave Dan'an City, he received a letter from Zitong and a piece of jade from her.

"Death stone... Another piece!?"

That piece of jade is exactly the dead ground stone, and it is also a very irregular dead ground stone that has not been polished.

It was hidden in the things Zitong's mother left for her, and it was placed next to the letter to Zitong. Zitong told Gu Chen about these things without any concealment.

In addition to the death stone, Zitong's mother also left behind a pure white cloak. It is said that that cloak is specially used for exploring the death land. With this cloak, you can move freely in the death land.

Zitong's mother relied on this cloak to get out of the dead, and Zitong still asked Gu Chen in the letter if he needed to take the cloak back.

Gu Chen didn't reply immediately, he got the death stone, the most important thing now is to perform the third character summoning before leaving Dan'an City.

But this time, Gu Chen wanted to summon a powerful person who would definitely be loyal to Gu Chen.
