dream of you

Li Zhi turned her head and saw that although the boy was expressionless, his whole body was exuding anger.

"Sorry." Li Zhi apologized subconsciously, suddenly thought of some terrible thoughts, looked at the coffin and then at the boy, and when she spoke again, her voice trembled, "Your father and Lingtang have passed away? So the voice of the night... ..”

The boy looked at Li Zhi fixedly, and said, "There is no sound, the guest officer misheard."

His tone had lost the anger he had at the beginning, and there was no fluctuation in his tone.

Even if he was the only one who could hear those voices, Li Zhi would never believe that he had heard them wrong, it was so clear and real.

What's more, the child also explained it with 'my mother has an illness', which means that he can also hear those voices.

But already on the third floor, there is no one else except the coffin. Are those voices due to the influence of my special physique?

Then, those voices are definitely not human beings!

The boy didn't make any unnecessary explanations, and after motioning for the three to leave, he closed the door.

From the slowly closed door, Li Zhi seemed to see a black air lingering around the coffin.

Just waiting to take a closer look, but was blocked by the door, Li Zhi thought it might be because she got up too early, her eyes were dazzled, and she didn't think about it.

On this day, everyone went out and walked around the post city, and found that the situation was exactly the same as yesterday, the sky was bright, the doors of every house were closed, there was no trace of human life, no human voice.

Even Mo Censheng's family was the same, it was clearly confirmed that he would not go out of the city, and he just happened to go out to get medicine?

No, it's impossible, the only pharmacy in Yicheng is also closed today.

Mo Censheng, where did you go?

Where did the people in Yicheng go?

"There's really something wrong with this post city." Ye Li walked to Li Zhi and said.

"It's really weird. Even if they don't go out, they still have to eat. It's lunch time, and no one has cooking smoke." Lei Qing looked up into the distance and said.

Lin Nan squatted down, looked at this side and the other side, and asked, "Have you smelled the breath of other living people?"

This side and the other side raised their fingers to the direction of the inn, and replied together: "One, one."

Li Zhi also squatted down, pondered for a while, and asked, "Then, does it smell like a dead person?"

This side and the other side still maintained the posture just now, and said: "Two, one."

Li Zhi stood up and said to everyone: "The living person they mentioned should be the boy from the inn, and the dead person should be his parents. Then, all the people in this post city, including Mo Censheng, disappeared before dawn. ?”

No one spoke, they were all lost in thought.

In short, he suddenly walked to the door of Mo Censheng's house, pulled out Quexie, and scratched at a place on the right side of the door.

Everyone was puzzled. When they stepped forward, they saw that the color of the door panel was brighter than other parts. It looked as if it had been repaired with a piece. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it.

And even if you see it and don't want to think about it, you won't think there is a problem.

At this time, Li Zhi watched the door panel along the scratches and was about to be taken off neatly, her right eyelid twitched several times.

Really, will there be anything?

The board that was removed was very thin and did not make a hole in the door to see into the house.

And behind the wooden board is a yellow talisman tightly attached to the door. The bright red and complicated runes don't look like they were painted with cinnabar.

Rather, blood.

"This... what kind of talisman is this? I've never seen it before." Lei Qing's face was full of confusion.

"Suppressing Spirit Talisman." In short, he didn't take off the Suppressing Spirit Talisman, but stood up and walked around the small building, slashing the outside of the small building with his sword from time to time.

After half a stick of incense, Li Zhi looked at the densely packed gaps on the outside of the small building, and there were no less than a hundred sheets of talisman papers. She stared blankly and asked, "These are all, spirit-suppressing talismans?"

Briefly nodded silently.

Lei Qing asked: "What is this town spirit talisman used for?"

Li Zhi noticed that Ye Li and Lin Nan had ugly expressions, so she asked them, "You guys know each other too?"

"Spirit-suppressing talisman is a kind of charm of ghosts." Ye Li said, looking up at the talisman of suppressing spirits on the first floor, and added, "Lock the soul and prevent reincarnation."

Lin Nan said calmly, "This kind of talisman is not easy to draw. It needs to use human blood, with temperature, human blood. There are also requirements for cultivation in talisman refining. Generally, it is very rare for ghosts to have it." A few. Let the soul of the deceased not be rescued and fixed in the place where he died."

Both Li Zhi and Lei Qing looked at the Zhenling Talismans all over the building in disbelief, and the shock in their hearts could not be calmed down.

Lock the soul and prevent reincarnation.

Whose soul is to be locked up so that no one can be reincarnated?

To suppress it with so many spirit-suppressing talismans at any cost.

Who is the person who locked the soul?

Mo Censheng?

Lei Qing suddenly reached out and picked a brick on the city wall beside him, and stammered, "This... this brick, it seems that I can... pull it out."

As he said that, he actually took out the brick.

Inside, there is also a town spirit talisman.

It was noon, the warm winter sun hung high, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on Li Zhi's back.

An hour later, everyone was sitting around in the lobby of the inn. On the table was a map of the post city in simple words.

Several places were marked with small circles on the map. They were the places where the town spirit talismans were found after everyone split up and investigated the post city.

Except for Mo Censheng's house, which was covered with talismans, and the talisman on the outer wall of the third floor of the inn, no one was found in other houses.

However, there are still discoveries on the city wall surrounding the post city.

Looking at the circles marked on the drawing, Li Zhi pondered, and tentatively raised her hand to connect the dots.

"Dream Soul Formation." Jian Yanzhi said the first moment Li Zhi's fingertips stopped.

Li Zhi had heard about the Dream Soul Formation in Jian Qizhang's class.

The special thing about people in the confusion formation is that they can also confuse the soul.

But laying out formations in such a large area requires a medium that also has a confusing effect to be effective.

What is this medium?Where?

Li Zhi suddenly thought of something, jumped up, stood up from the chair, and ran to the door of the inn.

Everyone looked at him without knowing why, and saw that he took down the ghost lamp hanging at the door and hurriedly opened the cover.

With just one glance, his complexion instantly became serious.

Li Zhi walked back to the table, placed the ghost lamp on the table, and signaled everyone to look into the lamp.

Inside are burnt 褉芽芽 and some black powder.

"This is?" Lei Qing looked at Li Zhi puzzled.

"Dreams are not dreams."

Li Zhi walked to the room where the boy was, stood still, and continued, "This is the medium through which the Dream Soul Formation was activated. From the moment we entered the city, we were in the same room as everyone in the post city, or all the ghosts. into the same labyrinth.”

"Then we've been in a dream?" Lei Qing slapped himself as he spoke, and covered his face in pain the next moment.

Lin Nan looked at Lei Qing speechlessly, and said, "If it's just such a dream, it's not a dream. For those of us who have cultivation base, it will only cause some hallucinations. If we fall into a dream, it won't be enough."

"A little psychedelic is enough." Li Zhi knocked on the door.

After a while, the boy opened the door, still only showing one eye, staring at Li Zhi silently.

Li Zhi squatted down, softened her voice, and said, "Let's talk, shall we?"

Seeing that the boy was unmoved, Li Zhi continued: "Are they all dead? Did he force you to do this? Do you want to leave here? Do you want to save them?"

Just when Lei Qing was about to rush up and push the door open, the boy came out, looked at Jian Yanzhi and said, "Can you guys save them?"

In short, solemnly say: "Do your best."

The boy got a simple promise, looked up to the direction of the third floor, and said, "It's going to be night soon, I'll take you to have a look."

As night fell, the boy deftly put a Mengfeimeng plant in the ghost lamp, and lit it together with the fungus, so that Li Zhihang could return to its original place.

Li Zhi glanced at Jian Yanzhi, seeing that he had no objection, she followed suit.

I thought the boy was going to take them up to the third floor to have a look, but when they saw him walk out of the inn, everyone quickly followed.

Like last night, most people's homes were lit with candles, and the boy knocked on the door of a family.

Li Zhi followed nervously, and soon, someone opened the door.

It was a white-haired old man, looking through the old man, Li Zhi saw the scene inside the house.

A few children are playing and laughing in the house, which is very warm.

"Xiaoyi, what's the matter?" the old man asked softly, looking at the people and then at the boy.

Xiao Yi pointed to the people behind him, and said: "A few guests came today, and if they want to taste the shochu in Yicheng, they have no choice but to trouble Grandpa Chen."

Hearing this, the old man smiled brightly, and said triumphantly: "It's okay, I just unsealed a jar here today, wait, I'll take it for you."

After coming over for a while, the old man came out again with a jar of wine, and just about to pass it to Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yi asked Li Zhi to take the wine.

Li Zhi froze for a moment, then reached out to take it, and touched the old man's hand.

is warm.

After Xiaoyi thanked the old man, he left with everyone.

Then, Xiao Yi brought a few people to visit many houses before returning to the inn and said, "The people you saw actually died one night half a year ago."

all dead?How can it be?

Lei Qing was full of disbelief, and said: "Just now that big brother shook my hand, there is warmth and feeling, it doesn't look like a corpse, and it can't be a soul either."

"Is this the psychedelic among us?" Ye Li frowned and said.

Li Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, they are not corpses, but they are indeed ghosts. In fact, they have no real feeling or warmth. The Dream Soul Formation gives us the illusion that they can be touched, and makes them have the illusion that they are still alive. .”

However, there was one point that Li Zhi still didn't understand, so she asked, "Since you killed them, why do you need to lock up your soul and go to great lengths to make them think that you are still alive?"

Why, to create the illusion of this city?

"For Mo Censheng." The simple words surprised everyone.

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that Mo Censheng also became a soul and was trapped in the post city.

So, where should we start with "For Mo Censheng"?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi agreed with Jian Yan's words and said, "It's because of him..."
