Quick time out of nothing

The old woman led the three of them to a small bungalow, looked around to make sure there was no one around, then opened the door, greeted them to enter, then turned to the kitchen and brought a pot of tea and said: "Everyone, please slow down Yes. Alas, there is really nothing for others to entertain in the humble house, so please make do with it."

Xiao Wangzhi heard the words and hurriedly answered, "It's me who interrupted you, how can you respect your exaggeration?"

"What's the meaning of the old woman?" Su Muwan asked straightforwardly.

"It's too eye-catching to walk on the street. It would be terrible if you were stared at by that thing..." The old woman sighed after hearing the words, "However, there is no way out of the city right now. The Sitong City , Most of them are those who come in but never come out."

Meaning, we can't get out?

When Su Muwan heard the words, she remained silent and waited for the follow-up, but Mu Siyan became anxious.Su Muwan guessed that Shuodeng's current situation was not optimistic, and there was no extra time for them to waste.

"Since the opening of Mingyue Tower, the people in Sitong City have been living in dire straits, and everyone is in danger. As you can see, there are only elderly people left in the city now. It is because all the young people have disappeared inexplicably. It is heard that there are no dead bodies. Not only that, those who try to leave the city in vain, regardless of men, women, or children, will end up in the same end. There were a few warlocks, all of whom were unpredictable in strength, who tried their best to break the ban. One step away and turned into bones..." The old woman shivered involuntarily as she spoke, wondering if she had witnessed this indiscriminate disaster with her own eyes.

Su Muwan suddenly felt a little thirsty, picked up the teacup and shook it in front of Mu Siyan's eyes.After Mu Siyan nodded, she drank the tea in the cup with confidence.

"'Breaking the ban' means breaking out of the city?" Su Muwan asked the old woman.

The old woman nodded slightly when she heard the words.

"It seems that if you want to leave the city, you have to uproot Mingyue Tower." Su Muwan glanced over Mu Siyan and Xiao Wangzhi, and finally stopped on Xiao Wangzhi, "I don't know what Young Master Xiao wants?"

Xiao Wangzhi's face was full of struggles, and he couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Brotherhood and justice, neither of which he wants to give up.

Su Muwan waited quietly for his decision, because killing relatives in righteousness is just an allusion.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Wangzhi calmed down, with an expression of relief or despair, he said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

"Actually, you don't have to hesitate for so long. We only talk about destroying the Mingyue Tower. As for your companions..." Su Muwan said as if nothing happened, "As long as you don't stop us, I will leave it to you .”

Not everyone is qualified to lift the sword of judgment.In the current situation, it is perfectly appropriate to leave it to you who have justice in your heart to decide.In this way, there is neither resentment nor resentment.

Xiao Wangzhi obviously didn't expect Su Muwan to mean this, and a hint of gratitude flashed across his eyes.

"Since there is no objection, let's act tonight." After Su Muwan finished speaking to the two, he turned to ask the old woman, "Old man, can we rest here for a while? I'm sorry to bother you."

"Of course you can, you don't have to be polite." The old woman looked worried, "It seems that you have to go out of the city, be careful in everything!"

After Su Muwan thanked the old man, he stopped talking.

[998: Host, why don't we dispatch now? 】

[Su Muwan: Most of the ghosts are like cockroaches, they come out at night.It will be tonight at the latest. If we can't eradicate Mingyue Tower tonight, then we will be the next few to be skinned. After all, we were too ostentatious when we walked on the street just now. 】

After finally waiting for night to fall, the three of them bid farewell to the old woman in a hurry, took advantage of the darkness to keep copying trails, and sneaked all the way to the front of Mingyue Tower.

There are three floors in Mingyue Tower, all of which are brightly lit.Danying is carved with Jue, and carved railings are made of jade.There are two bright red lanterns hanging at the gate.

"There is only one door." After going around the building, Mu Siyan came back to report to Su Mu Wanhui, "So we have to enter through the door."

Su Muwan frowned slightly when she heard this, and looked up at the two floors above.

Knowing her plan, 998 hurriedly stopped her.

[998: Host, don't!I don't know what's weird about it!Maybe your skin will be peeled off before you realize it! 】

Su Muwan broke into a cold sweat from its words, and immediately dismissed the idea of ​​teleporting upstairs.

"Let's go." She hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed to Mu Siyan's proposal.

Xiao Wangzhi knew that Su Muwan was afraid, so seeing this, he walked in front of her and Mu Siyan first, and pushed open the gate of Mingyue Tower.

At that moment, Su Muwan suddenly felt that ghosts are not such terrible things, after all, they are just like people, good and evil.

The expected horror and weirdness did not appear.Unexpectedly, the Mingyue Building was very lively, young people gathered together, and it was a scene of singing and dancing.However, no one noticed the three people walking in through the gate.

Seeing this, Mu Siyan frowned: "Is this the so-called 'everyone is in danger'?"

Xiao Wangzhi closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something.After a long time, he opened his eyes and said: "I didn't feel the breath of my companions, but something else..."

"What else?" Mu Siyan hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say that your companions sneaked into Sitong City a month ago to commit crimes?"

Xiao Wangzhi shook his head, expressing that he was not clear.

"It seems that it is not your companions who are doing evil." Su Muwan's words made Xiao Wangzhi overjoyed, but the next sentence made him fall into an ice cellar again.

"If not, then they are very likely to have encountered an accident."

"Could it be that the old lady lied to us? But Hui Deng told me that everything she said was true." Mu Siyan's eyes were slightly red, "If I knew this, I might as well go out of the city directly! The wick of the Shuo Deng is getting worse and worse. Steady..."

This side mission must not fail!

Su Muwan forced himself to calm down, and carefully recalled what he had seen and heard so far.

At present, we can only find breakthroughs from both the guard and the old woman.

The guard explained that there is no abnormality in the moon tower, so is there no abnormality during the day or night?Or is there nothing abnormal all day long?Now it seems that there is nothing unusual at night.

The old woman said that there are only elderly people left in the city, and this is exactly the same as what I saw on the street.

Wait a minute, only old people left?Obviously the group in front of them are all young people.

Su Muwan calmly glanced at the frolicking crowd.

Leaving aside why Hui Deng said that the old woman hadn't lied, even if she had lied, there was only one motive - to leave us in the city to feed the ghosts.If she had thought that way, she wouldn't have had to go through all the trouble of taking us back to her house in the first place, or telling us so many things, or even poisoning her tea.

It can be seen from this that she has no intention of murdering us, and the motive of lying is not valid. Coupled with the reaction of the dark light and her own fear of the past, then what she said is the truth.

If the old woman was telling the truth and we had no way out, why did the guards put us in the city?If he wanted to murder us, he didn't have to stop us in the first place, and tried to dissuade us in every possible way.Since he has no other thoughts, there is no need for him to lie.

He said that he was sent to investigate Mingyue Tower not long ago, the specific time is unknown, and the time cannot be compared.

Investigate...wait a minute, investigate Mingyue Building? !In other words, after he entered Sitong City, he came out alive again? !Doesn't this just contradict the old lady's theory of "going out of the city to die"?

[998: Host, don't you think these people in front of you are a bit strange?You two big living people and a big male ghost have been stuck at the entrance for so long, and they didn't respond at all.Moreover, no one came out to greet the guests. 】

998's words were like enlightenment, and an idea suddenly flashed in Su Muwan's mind.

"Both the guard and the old woman are telling the truth." Su Muwan said to Mu Siyan and Xiao Wangzhi calmly, and as expected received surprised looks from the two.

Seeing this, Su Muwan didn't speak, and went straight to a young man present, reaching out to pat the man on the shoulder, but the pat was in vain.

What's even more weird is that when Su Muwan put down her hand, her hand directly penetrated the man's body, and the man was still chatting and laughing with the people around him.

Seeing this, Mu Siyan turned pale with shock: "This, this is... an illusion?!"

"We can go out of the city directly, don't worry about it." Su Muwan turned around to leave Mingyue Tower after speaking, but found that the gate when he came was nowhere to be found.

"Damn it! Now we are the turtle in the urn..." Seeing this, Xiao Wangzhi was quite annoyed.

"What's going on here?" Mu Siyan still couldn't figure it out.

"As a painted skin ghost, have you heard that among you ghosts, there are people who are good at controlling illusions and can control a certain range?"

"...Earth binding spirit?" Xiao Wangzhi thought for a while, and finally came up with three words.

"That's it. This kind of undead has many grievances, so they become evil spirits. They are especially good at manipulating illusions and can often control a side of water and soil. The scenes in the city are all illusory, and the people in the city are all deceased. If It will show its original shape when it leaves the city, out of the range of the earth-bound spirit's ghost art, so it's like a haggard body, a few steps away'." Su Muwan looked at the two of them, and said slowly, "It's very powerful. These illusions may be hidden, so let's search separately. I'll go to the third floor, Mu Siyan, you go to the second floor, and Young Master Xiao will stay on the first floor. Remember, pretend to be ignorant, don't startle the snake, and you will be there in a quarter of an hour. We meet at the corridor crossing on the third floor." After speaking, he went upstairs alone.

Obviously just now when he was downstairs, he saw the crowds upstairs, but when he came up, he found that there was no one there.

Seeing this, Su Muwan summoned the "Blue Lantern".

"How dare you go to the third level of temptation alone. Should I praise you for seeing death as home, or make you die?" Su Muzhe's figure gradually emerged beside her.

"It's not right." Su Muwan raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and said with a smile, "I just...'have nothing to fear'."

Su Muzhe didn't give her a look, and said calmly: "The earth-binding spirit is not in the building for the time being. However, it should be back soon."

Fortunately, Su Muwan stopped going around in circles after hearing the words, and sat down to rest at the entrance of the corridor.

"Don't take off this 'Lei Zu Silkworm Clothes' on your body unless you are taking a bath." Su Muzhe looked at her back, half exhorting and half ordering, and disappeared in place.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and Mu Siyan and Xiao Wangzhi came up to meet as scheduled.

"Walking around, everyone is an illusion." Mu Siyan looked very tired.

Su Muwan stared at her quietly for a long time, then sighed inwardly.

【Su Muwan: Well, I know she once wanted to harm me, but I just can't hate her. 】

【998: ...you may have cataracts, you can't see clearly, and you've been blinded by lard. 】

[Su Muwan: ...Get lost! 】

Xiao Wangzhi nodded, indicating that it was the same on his side.

At this moment, the dim light suddenly flickered a few times, and it was still shaking desperately.

"Be careful, something is coming!" Mu Siyan reminded aloud.

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, and what appeared in front of everyone was a magnificent boudoir.

A woman in a red wedding dress got off the bed, stepped on red shoes, and held fireworks in her hands. There seemed to be infinite scenery under the fluttering red hood.

But at this time, the three of them have long since neglected any scenery, and they are all facing a formidable enemy.

Beauty is precious, but life is more expensive.

Seeing this, the woman said with grievance in her delicate voice: "Isn't my family beautiful? Why don't you all want to take off your red heads?"

Su Muwan didn't know which tendon was wrong, and blurted out: "Why do you want us to uncover your skull?"

Mu Siyan: "..."

Xiao Wangzhi: "..."

As if she didn't hear Su Muwan's words, the woman took off her red cap on her own.

What appeared in front of everyone was an unbelievably beautiful face.It's just that this beauty seems to be pieced together, revealing a sense of incongruity and weirdness.

Seeing that the three of them didn't respond, the woman was disappointed and said, "Is it because the slave's house is not beautiful enough?"

After speaking, he looked at the three people in front of him carefully with gloomy eyes, and after seeing Su Muwan's face, he showed a terrible smile: "Ah, it's okay, there's a new good-looking skin... ..”

Su Muwan subconsciously took a few steps back when he heard the words.

[Su Muwan: The original owner is indeed not bad, so I will pick it up if I pick it up; but my own skin is a mess, how can I give it to her so easily? 】

[998: ...Host, when is this?Be serious! 】

After the woman finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Wangzhi again, and said softly: "This young master has gentle eyebrows, and he is a person who is devoted to love at first glance. Would you like to give your heart to me?"

Xiao Wangzhi took a few steps back when he heard the words, even though he knew he had no heart.

Seeing this, the woman showed her grievance again: "You are like those people before, you really hurt the heart of the slave family. In the final analysis, it is because the slave family is not beautiful enough, right? Otherwise, no matter what request the slave family makes, you will agree."

[Su Muwan: No, because you are not good-looking enough for me. 】

Su Muwan was talking in his mind, his body trembling uncontrollably.

【998:...】

Seeing this, 998 suddenly understood.It's not that she is being unruly, but she uses the way of complaining to reduce the interference of fear on herself.

"It seems that I have to take it by myself again~" As soon as the words finished, the woman's arms stretched in vain, and the lotus root powder instantly turned into the brown and black of dead branches, attacking Su Muwan and Xiao Wangzhi.

Su Muwan was frightened and froze in place.

Seeing this, Xiao Wangzhi stood up and stood in front of Su Muwan, letting the woman's withered hands pass through his chest.

"Are you okay?!" Su Muwan finally recovered.

"Finally, I have repaid my lord's kindness." Xiao Wangzhi seemed a little happy, "I have no intentions, so I can't die, just rest for a while."

Fortunately, I was moved for a few seconds just now.

Su Muwan suddenly felt worthless for herself, now she only thinks that Xiao Wangzhi is mentally retarded.

"What, it turned out to be a heartless painted-skinned ghost, which made my family very happy." The woman withdrew her hands and said with a lost tone, "Speaking of which, a month ago, my family was so disappointed... "

"What do you mean by that?!" Xiao Wangzhi suddenly became agitated when he heard the words, and the anxiety in his heart rushed out of the door.

"I said, I have also met your kind, which made me feel the same disappointment. So, I peeled off all their skins. If you don't have a heart, you can barely make up the number of skins. I didn't peel them right away. , but I imprisoned them in this city and played with them for a long time~ Besides, I have played with the skins and hearts of all the black-haired people in Sitong City~" The woman described her crime like a treasure , "By the way, I still treasure the skins of my son's kind. Do you want to see my son?"

Xiao Wangzhi looked up to the sky and laughed a few times when he heard the words, the laughter was clearly mixed with sobs.

If they find out that they have not believed them all this time, they must not live in peace under the nine springs, right?

"My lord, don't be sad, anyway, your skins belong to others, don't you?" The woman actually comforted him when she saw how sad he was.

"I only take what is my own, and the same is true for my companions." When he looked at the woman again, Xiao Wangzhi's gaze was firm, and he broke a rib from his body with pain, turning it into a sharp bone sword , stabbed towards the woman.

Seeing this, the woman stretched out her dead branch again, trying to trap Xiao Wangzhi, but they were cut off by his bone sword.In the next second, carrion sprouted from the woman's severed arm, and not long after, her arm was intact again.

The two were hard to distinguish for a while.

At this time, Mu Siyan, who had been wandering in mind since just now, suddenly came back to his senses, his face turned pale, as if he had made up his mind, he walked towards the two who were fighting fiercely step by step.

She opened her mouth slowly, her voice sounded like a ballad: "A long-cherished wish has not been fulfilled, but I have been obsessed with it for a while; the ground is a prison, so why end it. Love and hate the moon in the water..."

Before the words were finished, the surrounding scenes changed suddenly, and the smoke was lingering, as if a layer of veil was covered in front of the eyes, which was both real and illusory, and it was difficult to distinguish between reality and reality.

Su Muwan saw a woman with a peach blossom face walking by the lake.The wind blows the clear water, and the beautiful shadow is graceful.At the same time, a handsome young man in white was standing quietly behind her, looking at her with interest.The woman wanted to turn around and leave, but the young man in white had no time to dodge, so he was caught straight.

The woman's red lips parted slightly, saying that she called the bell.

Since they got acquainted, the two had frequent exchanges because of their similar temperaments.

When the war suddenly broke out, the young man in white, as the second prince, was sent to the frontier by his elder brother who became the emperor, so he had to postpone his marriage with Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu was not annoyed when he heard the news, he hid in his boudoir and cut his wedding dress day after day, waiting like this for year after year.

At the end of the summer of the fifth year, when she heard that the young man in white had returned in triumph, he threatened to spread ten miles of red makeup and marry her back home.

She got on the sedan chair full of joy, but found that the sedan chair was not carried to the imperial city, but to Sitong City.

The city lord of Sitong City was a potbellied old man, and he told Zhong Yu that it was the Second Prince himself who ordered her to be betrothed to him as a concubine.The second prince already has his first wife, a princess who is good at singing and dancing in the Western Regions, much younger and more beautiful than her, she looks like a fairy descending from the world.

Zhong Yu's heart turned cold when he heard the words.

That's right, after all, five years have passed, and my appearance is far from what it was back then.

The young man in white is concerned about the country. She heard people say that Sitong City is a military fortress, but it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. It is really a hidden danger.However, after the eldest prince came to the throne, he was incompetent and only cared about enjoying himself, so he didn't want to allocate money to build the courtyard.So she discussed with the lord of Sitong City that as long as he was willing to pay for the construction of the courtyard, she would provide him with entertainment and never resisted.

The lord of Sitong City naturally readily agreed.

With the courtyard, Sitong City suddenly changed from easy to attack and difficult to defend to easy to defend and difficult to attack.

On the day of their wedding, Zhong Yu somehow climbed to the top of the patio and jumped.

"May I be born with a good skin in my next life..."

One second before landing, Su Muwan heard her say this.

Su Muwan suddenly remembered a sentence that she saw a long time ago: "Beauty bones are rare in the world. Those who have bones may not have skin; those who have skin may not have bones. However, most people in the world have shallow eyes and only see the surface." , no bone phase was seen."

For some reason, Su Muzhe's face, which looked very ordinary but was amazed at a certain moment, suddenly flashed in her mind.

Perhaps, that is the so-called "beauty bone".

Su Muwan thought so.

"Yu'er, I have never abandoned you. The central government quickly abandoned the frontier and us. We fought alone and ate each other's flesh and blood, but in the end we were unable to defeat the enemy. I'm going to die..." A gentle male voice suddenly sounded, with unspeakable sorrow, "All this is the conspiracy of the emperor's brother, the one who returned triumphantly is not me... we Never separate again, okay?"

Zhong Yu stared blankly at the person in front of him when he heard the words, weeping uncontrollably.

"It's... too late," she cried, "My hands are covered with countless sins..."

Then he forcibly pulled out a smile, and said with relief: "Karma is my own fault, and I should bear it alone."

At the moment when the two were desperate, Mu Siyan quietly appeared behind them, and said lightly: "You can rest assured and go."

The two were taken aback when they heard the words, then wept with joy, and both kowtowed to Mu Siyan a few times.

"Benefactor, how presumptuous I was earlier..." Before Zhong Yu had time to apologize, he was interrupted by Mu Siyan.She waved her hand, signaling Zhong Yu not to take it to heart.Then he glanced at the two embracing each other, turned and left.

The previous scene disappeared as Mu Siyan turned around, and only the dilapidated and decayed interior of Mingyue Tower came into view, silently telling the world that it is now a hundred years later.The twilight of dawn poured in from the gate, and the dust all over the sky could be vaguely seen.

"The illusion is gone." Mu Siyan's face was terribly pale, as if she was about to lose blood and die in the next second.

"Miss, did you bear the cause and effect for that earth-binding spirit?" Xiao Wang saw what was going on at a glance.

Su Muwan was shocked when she heard the words: "Mu Siyan, are you crazy?!"

Mu Siyan's body was on the verge of falling, and she forced a smile and said, "Maybe. Well, it's time for us to set off. Mr. Xiao, I'll see you someday." After speaking, she turned around gracefully and staggered towards the gate.

Xiao Wangzhi looked at Mu Siyan's leaving back, and bowed to her respectfully, the same as he did to Su Muzhe before.

Seeing this, Su Muwan hurriedly followed.

"The more you prefer a person, the more you will be like that person." She heard Xiao Wangzhi's voice from behind, "See you by fate."

At some point on the second floor of Mingyue Tower, a little girl wearing a white chest-length skirt and a sky-blue trousers appeared. Her long black hair hung down to her waist, and a silver-white butterfly-shaped butterfly was pinned to her right hair. the comb.Seeing Su Muwan walking far away, she lightly jumped down from the second floor, a pair of plain white cotton shoes firmly stepped on the ground, and quickly followed.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The little girl appears, Liu Ye is about to appear, Mu Siyan... Poor little girl.

Thank you for your comfort yesterday, so I doubled the number of words today, but it is more than nine o'clock... 卒QAQ

In fact, I have a cold recently, and I quietly squat your comments every day, and I never get tired of it.
