Rebirth: Holding on to the golden thigh and showing off

"Xiaowei, wake up, wake up."

Xuan Qingli looked at the town in front of him and felt something was wrong. They were clearly in the center of the vortex, so how did they come to "Huaicheng"?

The sun was still scorching overhead. People were coming in and out of the city gate from time to time, looking at the two of them.

Xiaowei was clearly in his dantian. Without his permission or Xiaowei coming out on her own, she would not appear in human form.

"Xuan Qingli, is this Kui Huai City?" I was woken up by him, and felt scared when looking at the town in front of me.

This "Huaicheng" looks like a ghost town no matter how you look at it. The people there have the energy of life, but also a hint of ghostliness. You can tell at a glance that there is something wrong with this city.

Xuan Qingli picked up the boat that had fallen nearby and checked it. Apart from some minor cracks, it was basically intact. It was a blessing in disguise.

We looked around the area, but Qing Si, Hong Lu, Xie Wu Niang, and Chu Yan were all gone.

"It looks like we have to go in anyway."

As soon as we entered the city gate, we were stopped by the guards. "If you are not a resident of this city, you need an invitation to enter."

Invitation?

We came here for no apparent reason. Where did the invitation come from?

Who would have thought that Xuan Qingli would actually take out an invitation from her arms. It was an exceptionally bright red with a "囍" character on the cover.

"So you are a distinguished guest who has come from afar. Please forgive our impoliteness." The guards at the city gate quickly let him in.

The city was filled with joy, with many red gauze and red lanterns hanging between the locust trees.

We walked for such a long time and all we saw were locust trees. It seemed that there were only locust trees in this city. No wonder it was called "Locust City".

Every resident inside had a smile on his or her pale face, and a festive atmosphere filled the entire city.

"Where are Qingsi and the others?" I moved closer to Xuan Qingli. The smiles of these people gave me chills.

It was like a skeleton with human skin attached to it, and the smile was formed by someone pulling it on both sides, so that the curvature of the eyes and the corners of the mouth were exactly the same.

"Let's find a teahouse and sit down to listen to the news."

Soon we arrived at the most luxurious teahouse in the city, which was crowded and bustling.

Everyone inside was discussing the happy event in the City Lord's Mansion.

"The eldest daughter of the City Lord's Mansion will hold her wedding in three days, and the whole city is getting dressed up."

"I heard that the eldest lady is stunningly beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy. I wonder if young people like us can see her."

"The young lady is in poor health and stays in the City Lord's Mansion all day, so it's hard to see her."

"I heard that this man is a live-in son-in-law."

"Shh, you can't tell me that."

......

It seems that the key to this "Huaicheng" is the eldest lady's wedding banquet in three days.

We booked a room in the teahouse. During that special period, we didn't care about the rules between men and women, and we had no intention of sleeping.

Before it gets dark, let's go out for a walk to see if there is any news or trace of other people.

There seems to be no danger here at the moment, and the people around are friendly and communicative. Just ignore their pale and colorless skin.

We happened to meet the guards who had stopped us before. They were sitting in a wonton shop eating.

"Excuse me, are there many distinguished guests coming into the city to attend the wedding during this period?" Xuan Qingli naturally sat next to the captain of the guards.

"A lot of people. All the important people around here have been invited." The captain of the guards ate wontons with an expressionless face.

"That was really lively, that..."

"There are many guests like you. We will treat you warmly and guarantee that you will never forget it. Hehehe." The captain of the guards stood up and left before Xuan Qingli finished speaking.

What do these guards mean? It gives me goosebumps. I always feel that they have bad intentions.

We watched the guards leave, their backs looking a little stiff.

It was already dark at this time, and people on the streets were hurrying home. Even many shops were closed.

"Dear guests, we are about to close. You should go back quickly and don't wander around at night." The owner of the wonton shop asked us to leave.

We didn't understand the situation and it was not appropriate to stay any longer, so we hurried back to the teahouse.

I found that the teahouse was almost empty, with only the owner sitting at the front desk with a very gloomy face.

"Dear guest, you must come back on time after dark. Don't go out or open the window at night. You can go out only after dawn." The shopkeeper closed the door and went back to the inner courtyard without waiting for our answer.

Teahouses are usually open all night long, and there are many customers drinking and chatting at night. Why would they close as soon as it gets dark?

The more the shopkeeper said this, the more I wanted to go out and see what would happen if I went out at night.

"Don't think about sneaking out. Just listen to me, Xiaowei." Xuan Qingli knew very well that this "Huai City" was weird and dangerous, and it would be safest to act together.

We just sat in the room and listened to the noises around us, but it was so quiet that we heard nothing.

I let Tutu out, and she immediately ran into my arms, "Why did you come to this damn place?"

"Bunny, do you know this place?" I was overjoyed. Finally, we didn't have to grope around on our own.

"I know, it's a hell of a place. I'm not comfortable here. I'm going back."

Ah, what the rabbit said is as good as nothing, everyone knows that this is a haunted place.

No matter how I asked or coaxed her, she just refused to speak. I didn't expect her mouth to be so tight.

Tutu really didn't know. This unfaithful man wouldn't think that she was keeping it a secret and didn't want to tell him. Would she be that kind of Tutu?

Of course not, it’s Tutu who really doesn’t know!

"Did you hear any sound?" I seemed to hear a rustling sound of something rubbing against the ground and the roof.

Xuan Qingli nodded and carefully opened the window leaving a tiny gap.

There was thick fog outside. The white fog was like a huge veil, covering everything in "Huaicheng".

No matter how we looked, we only saw white fog.

I tried to feel the wood aura around me, but there was no feedback, only locust trees and locust trees.

But those locust trees didn't respond to me at all. There was a being more powerful than me controlling them.

What will it be?

Is there anyone who is closer to wood aura and more full of vitality than me?

The white mist came in through the small gap in the window, wrapped around Xuan Qingli's fingers, and was eroding his spiritual energy.

"This white mist will erode spiritual energy, which is troublesome. I want to go out and explore at night, but it seems I have to find another way." The Buddha's light appeared in Xuan Qingli's hand, and the white mist was extinguished by him.

We had no choice but to conserve our energy and wait until daybreak before taking action.

All night long there was a rustling sound of something moving about, but unfortunately I couldn't see anything and the communication token didn't work.

I can't even feel the contract between Honglu and I. This damn place is really enough.

I don’t know what’s happening with the others. Are they worried about each other like Xuan Qingli and I and want to find each other?
