The villain apprentice is very arrogant

Chapter 68, The Lonely City is Desolate

The two traveled north all the way, and not long after, they saw a city gate in the distance.

The gate of the city is tall and well decorated, and the pattern of peony flowers in Loudiao should represent the meaning of prosperity. It can be seen that there are not many people in this city who are either rich or noble.

But having said that, there is one thing that is still very strange. No one enters or exits the huge city gate, let alone guarded by it?
Bailang lay on the donkey's back, supported his head, and read out the two large characters on the city gate: "Jin~cheng? The name is a good name, why doesn't it match this one? I can't even see a ghost."

I thought it was just that no one came in and out, but after they walked in, they found that the city was even more desolate.

On the empty street, there were only a few scattered people.Looking at their clothes, most of them were farmers outside the city, and one even carried firewood on his back.

They lowered their heads, unable to see the expressions on their faces clearly, like walking dead, shuffling forward aimlessly.

"Lan Qing, what's wrong with these people?" Bailang sat up and frowned.

Lan Qing hummed lightly and dismounted.

Why is there so much death in this city?Like a mass grave.

From entering the city to now, she has not felt the slightest breath of living people.

Bailang also jumped off the gray donkey, approached a man with arms folded, and blocked his way, looking like a bully.

Unexpectedly, this person dragged his heavy legs without even raising his head, and walked around Bailang.

Bailang thought for a while, then suddenly raised his foot and kicked that person's buttocks, who would have thought that the person fell to the ground like a log, making a muffled sound.

The next second, his body was twisted in a strange posture, a sizzling sound resounded from his body, and a rancid smell filled the air. He was actually rotting!
In an instant, a thick white bone appeared on the ground.

Bailang, who witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, was shocked!

Just about to turn her head to tell Lan Qing, she found that she had already seen everything that happened just now, and her eyes were a little heavy.

"Lan Qing, this... person? What's going on? It's the first time I've seen... this kind of scene where you fall to the ground and melt into bones."

As Bailang said, he knelt down, picked up the head, held it in his hand and studied it curiously.

Swish!boom!
A small stone flew over and knocked the head out of his hand, Bailang didn't pay attention and was startled.

Patting his chest, he said helplessly, "What are you doing? It scared me to death, I thought it moved!"

As soon as the words fell, the head rolled over on the spot, and the two empty eye sockets happened to look at the two people in front of them.

For a moment, the air was eerily quiet.

"Lan Qing, just now this thing...won't it really move?" The corners of Bailang's mouth twitched.

"En." Lan Qing stared at it for a moment, and the white silk on her wrist was about to move.

Jie Jie Jie Jie!

The skull suddenly made a strange sound, and turned to its skeleton body in a jerk, and put it together.Under Bailang's bewildered eyes, the skeleton stood up stiffly.

Bailang murmured: "My... old... God!"

The skeleton hunched its back and looked at Bailang with its head tilted. The next second, it ran towards him with big strides, still making a strange noise.

Bailang quickly regained his senses, kicked hard, knocked it to the ground with a beautiful kick, and kicked the skeleton to pieces.

After three breaths, they spliced ​​together again, shook their bodies, and rushed forward without fear of death.

"Come again?" Bailang continued to kick without mercy: "I said, this thing can't be killed, right?"

Lan Qing's subordinates circulated their spiritual power, Bai Ling transformed into a sword, and a sword light mixed with killing intent swept up, completely smashing the skeleton.

Bailang breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and said with a smile: "Your way is better, now it will definitely..."

"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

A ray of dark light rose from the sky above the pile of powder, and after three breaths, it returned to a skeleton skeleton, running towards them with crazy feet!

Lan Qing frowned slightly, what's going on?Can this be reassembled?
Bailang couldn't help scolding his mother, can't this thing kill him?Resigned to fate, he raised his foot, ready to continue kicking back.

Suddenly, a Taoist dressed in a Taoist uniform and holding a dust whisk descended from the sky.He slapped a yellow talisman, which just hit the back of the skull man's head.

The skeleton man trembled all over, and the skeleton crackled and scattered on the ground again.Xiaodao took out another talisman and flicked it somehow, and the talisman caught fire.

Xiaodao threw it on the skeleton pile, and in an instant, the pile of bones turned into scattered ashes.

After finishing all this, Xiaodao raised his eyes to look at Lan Qing and the two, and kindly persuaded him: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, you two should leave quickly."

Lan Qing stepped forward and asked, "Why?"

Xiaodao looked down at the pile of ashes on the ground, and sighed: "Oh, I can't explain it clearly for a while. Before it gets dark, the two of you should leave quickly."

Bai Lang shrugged his nose and asked suspiciously, "Are you really human? Why didn't you feel any anger in you?"

Asking this made Xiaodao unhappy, and the old man with a stern face said, "Young master, please be careful with your words, if you don't listen to me, you will be the ones who will suffer."

"Coincidentally! I like to suffer. Tell me quickly, what's going on? My sister and I are cultivators of immortality. We haven't seen any big scenes before."

"Xiu Xian?"

Xiaodao hesitated for a while, and said: "Then you come with me, this matter is a long story, first find a safe place, and then I will explain it to you in detail."

Xiaodao took the two of them, a horse and a donkey, and walked down the road.The side of the road was almost full of scattered "walking dead". This time, before they approached, Bailang consciously avoided them.

He didn't want to recruit another dog skin plaster.

Lan Qing's complexion became more and more solemn. This scene reminded her of those "people" who were imprisoned by Jing Ci back then.

Those unconscious, living dead.

Xiaodao took them into an inn.

The inside of the inn was different from the outside. Although Lan Qing still didn't feel the anger of the living, it wasn't as strong as the dead air outside.

Inside the inn, several people wearing the same Taoist uniform as Xiaodao were meditating on the ground.An old man with a white beard seemed to hear someone coming, and opened his eyes slightly.

Seeing that Xiaodao brought back two strangers, he couldn't help frowning: "Erji, why are you bringing people back casually?"

The other people in the inn heard these words, and they all opened their eyes, looking at the boy and the woman behind Erji, with repulsion written all over their faces.

Erji bowed and said respectfully: "Master, they are cultivators, no problem."

"Cultivator?" The old man squinted his eyes, as if looking at him.

Lan Qing looked back blankly, not planning to speak.But Bailang couldn't hold back any longer, he took the lead and said:

"Yes, yes, we are cultivators who are traveling abroad. Passing through the treasure land, we came in to have a look, but never thought that the city would look like this. I was curious, so I followed this trail leader here, in order to ask you Find out what's going on in this city."

The old man nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "In that case, the two of you can sit down."
