Rebirth: Re-entering the Jianghu
Chapter 281 Empty City
There were light ink-colored clouds on the horizon, and the wind seemed to be blowing people away. Luo Xiao stretched out her hand to catch the leaves blown by the wind. When they arrived here, her steps raised some dirt, which surrounded her. She held the leaves in her hand, and she came here. It was said that the story of the fish girl came from here, and she was going to find a way to make the fish girl sleep.
Mu Xing accompanied her, while Leng Che and Xiao Jing rested in the courtyard. They heard a story from people passing by, "The fish girl was an ordinary woman at first. One day, she went to the shore and was loved by a fish monster in the water. The monster made her half human and half fish, and she could only live in the water."
If someone was trapped because of pain, she would let her live, but she would be turned into a fish girl. Luo Xiao put away the sword in her hand, she glanced at Mu Xing, and the two walked in the direction of the city gate, holding hands tightly, and entered here together. Everything seemed to be still, the people inside were doing things, they didn't even look at them, Luo Xiao and the others walked in, they were all very anxious about the people coming and going.
An old lady was selecting vegetables nearby and said, "Why does this vegetable not look good?" The vendor said, "This is a new vegetable. It tastes great and looks different from the ordinary ones." The old lady picked up the vegetable swiftly, gave the money to the vendor, and left. Luo Xiao and his friends watched the incident. They wanted to inquire about the story of the fish girl. The strange thing was that they ignored Luo Xiao even when he was standing in front of them. No matter how he shouted, they ignored him.
Luo Xiao and Mu Xing were planning to go to a roadside inn. Not long after they left, the person behind them appeared again, and the scene they had seen appeared again. When they arrived at the inn, the waiter was wiping the table and saying something behind the empty table. He looked at the waiter and said, "Sir, our dishes are very good. You will definitely be satisfied." He showed unprecedented respect to the empty table.
Luo Xiao and the others walked over and watched the waiter walk past them. A very wealthy man came forward, his fan was waving, patting his big belly, with a golden leaf hanging around his neck. He finally freed his fingers and reached out to the servants around him. Soon, a gold ingot was in his hand. "As long as you can make me happy, it's yours." Following a trace, the waiter hugged the gold and took a look.
He smiled so hard that his eyes almost narrowed. He quickly put the gold on himself and led the wealthy young man to the second floor. The young man followed his instructions and went up to the second floor. Because of his size, he got stuck on the wooden edge of the stairs. The servants nearby immediately surrounded him and carried the young man up when no one was watching.
Luo Xiao smiled, her hand covering her mouth, laughing unabashedly. Mu Xing was beside her, looking at Luo Xiao with a smile on his face. The young man was finally carried upstairs. The waiter came down from upstairs and lay directly on the table. He looked like he had lost all hope in life.
It seems that they can't see them. Luo Xiao and the others looked at this place. After a while, the waiter seemed to be electrocuted and started to clean the table again. After a while, the rich man came out again. Luo Xiao and the others noticed something unusual here. "The people here are gone. Is this someone's memory?" Luo Xiao left the inn. The people here were the same as before. They kept repeating the same thing. Luo Xiao suddenly rushed into the crowd.
They all seemed to have things they wanted to do, and would appear here again soon, repeating such days over and over again, hundreds of times each day. She was looking for something in the crowd, when suddenly someone from behind bumped into her heavily. She was knocked to the ground, and quickly got up, only to see a white silhouette.
She couldn't catch up with Luo Xiao. She looked at this place and returned to the inn in a daze. When she saw Luo Xiao, she hugged him quickly. Her heart was beating fast and she knew she was very tired. "This is an empty city. Although they are here, they are gone long ago. What on earth happened here?"
Luo Xiao moved her hands and entered Xiao Er's dream. Her ability seemed to be stimulated by the fish girl to something new. She entered Xiao Er's dream. The people in the dream were all in tears. One day, they were surrounded by endless blue. The sea water rushed in, and the houses were washed away. People shouted in the water until they lost their lives. The sea water submerged everything. Until one day, a man with magical abilities fell from the sky. He fell from the sky and let them build a pavilion in the air.
They no longer have to feel pain for disasters. As long as they have this man, they don't have to face all dangers. The man was left in the palace they built. He sat on the high platform. One day, he felt bored. He was thinking about what to do here. "Then give me all your money." With one sentence from the man, everyone's money was looted. Many people claimed to be the man's messenger, and even injured many people.
Their eyes were filled with tears, but these were nothing compared to being able to live in peace. The man soon began to talk again, "He is so powerful, people should voluntarily give their lives to him, after all, he saved their lives." The people here seemed to have accepted their fate. They watched their neighbors go from being alive to being speechless.
The overwhelming pain weighed down on the people and they didn't know how to exist. Then a woman appeared. She led the people to completely seal the man. They finally felt an unreal happiness when they saw him disappear. The woman watched them fall here. People were busy celebrating. Joy came from the sky. It seemed unreal like a dream.
After finally getting happiness, someone once again got to know from the elders that there was a man who could call the wind and rain here. They tried their best to lift the seal on him, but the man's ambition was too big. He completely sacrificed the people here and drained their life force. This place completely became an empty city.
After the woman saw the man coming out, she held the Xuanfeng Sword and sealed the man again at the cost of all her strength. She also stayed here completely. In the end, she was cursed by the man, "You can only be trapped in the water and completely turn into a monster." The woman did not hesitate and stabbed the sword into the man's body, and he was seriously injured.
"They are weak and helpless. When they encounter danger, they can only keep hiding. I helped them survive, so naturally I can control their lives," the woman drew out the sword. "The greatest thing about people is that they never give up hope. You think you are the only hero, but it is their strength that allows me to defeat you. After you, there is no need for heroes here anymore. They have saved enough."
The woman looked at this place for the last time and shed a tear. The memories of the people around her were taken out of her memory. "Although you are no longer here, there should always be someone who remembers you." She completely erased her own figure from her memory. "Come from where you came from, go back to where you return, everything is false, why cling to it?" After her own memory was left, she turned around and left here, a city that no longer needed her. If they have a tear of hers in their memory, they will never encounter pain again.
"From a city full of vitality to the strangeness here now. Luo Xiao shed tears. "There is no need for heroes here. Everyone is one. Never giving up is their magic. They don't need anyone to save them." Luo Xiao looked at the waiter here and suddenly seemed to have a sense of intimacy. It was the emotional influence of that woman.
She disappeared, leaving nothing behind, but it seemed that she took nothing with her, and this was still the city. Luo Xiao and the others looked at this place, "Although it is just a memory, it is enough to show the original appearance of the people here." Luo Xiao looked at Mu Xing, and the two of them knew the origin of the fish girl. "An empty city is not one with nothing in it, but an empty city with a desolate heart." They never left.
