Ce Yu forgets his worries for a thousand days

Sun Quan's voice sounded in the distance.

Xiao Qiao got up in a panic, and leaned towards the people who came back from exploring the road, saying: "I have met the sect master, master, the left hall master."

Sun Ce responded lightly, but there was no other reaction.On the contrary, Sun Quan was not used to it.

"The little girl is usually neither big nor young, but she became obedient when she saw the sect master, which made my wife very sad."

The door owner was here, Xiao Qiao didn't dare to refute, but she still gave Sun Quan a sneaky look.

"Stop making trouble." Zhou Tai tilted his head and glanced at him.

Sun Quan laughed and stopped teasing her.

From beginning to end, Da Qiao beside Zhou Tai followed Sun Ce with eyes full of admiration and admiration.This was the first time she had such close contact with the sect master, so she naturally cherished it very much.

Sun Ce walked up to Zhou Yu, carefully holding a large green leaf with a little clear dew in his left hand.

"Have you rested?"

"Well," Zhou Yu asked after washing up with the water he handed over, "Did you find anything?"

"The evil spirit in the forest has faded a lot, and it seems to be suppressed deliberately. The gate of Yongzhou City is wide open, and the monster is luring us in."

Zhou Yu fell into deep thought when he heard this.

Saying that he wanted to enter Yongzhou was a whim of his own, so why bother to drag them along to accompany him on an adventure.Although all of them have excellent martial arts skills, what chances do they have of winning against that monster?

Seeing Zhou Yu's hesitation, Sun Quan teased, "Xiao Yuer is scared? It's too late to regret it now."

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and saw that the latter had a calm expression, as if he was confident no matter what decision he made, so he shook his head and said, "Of course not, let's go."

In line with Sun Ce's words, the group of people traveled smoothly along the way, and the weird atmosphere yesterday was much less.After more than an hour, they reached the end of the woodland and saw a city standing alone in the open space from a distance.

Zhou Yu thought that the Taoist priest that the man said yesterday was a lie, but when he saw it today, he really felt the unusualness of Yongzhou.From a distance, the whole city seemed to be shrouded in black mist, appearing lifeless.When I got closer, I saw that the vegetation for several miles around the city was dead, the bricks and stones of the walls were cracked, and cobwebs were crawling between the cracks in the walls. It is not an exaggeration to call this place a "ghost town".

"Wait." Before walking into the dead vegetation, Zhou Yu stopped everyone and leaned over to check the dead grass at his feet.

"There is no trace of poison, it is a natural death."

Sun Ce nodded, raised his hand and stretched forward, but touched an invisible thing like an air current.Suddenly, a transparent ring-shaped enchantment appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, and that enchantment just surrounded Yongzhou City in the middle, isolating it from the world.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao had never seen such a scene before, so they couldn't help but exclaimed.

Sun Ce took his hand away, and the barrier disappeared instantly.

"What's going on here? Could it be that the demon imprisoned Yongzhou with demonic methods?" Sun Quan wondered.

"If you want to prove it, you need another method." After speaking, Sun Ce looked at Zhou Tai.

"Yes."

Zhou Tai took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out several white balls the size of rice grains, and threw them into the barrier.

"This is?" Zhou Yu couldn't understand.

"This is the windward Gu worm egg. As the name suggests, it lives against the wind. As long as it is in any place where there is spiritual energy in the world, the Gu worm can break out of its shell within a stick of incense." Zhou Tai explained.

"That is to say, use this Gu to test whether the time in the enchantment is stagnant?" Zhou Yu suddenly said.

"Little Yu'er really knows everything." Sun Quan praised.

Seeing such a rare thing for the first time, Zhou Yu was very curious, so he squatted in front of the barrier, staring at the eggs without moving.

After a stick of incense, the eggs did not change at all.

"Junior Sister, look... Windward Gu has not moved." Big Qiao pulled Xiao Qiao's sleeve and said.

"There is really someone who will stop everything?" Xiao Qiao covered her open mouth and asked in surprise.

Sun Quan also felt a little unbelievable, "A Tai, you won't fool us with a few rice grains?"

Zhou Tai rolled his eyes at him, and poured out the rest of the Gu worms in the porcelain bottle. Since the bottle was opened just now, the eggs were stained with spiritual energy, and a few of them were trying to break out of their shells.

"But even if time is still, the vegetation in the enchantment should remain in its original state. Why is this...?" Zhou Yu asked suspiciously.

"Everything in the world is born and accompanied by spirits. Plants will grow when they encounter spiritual power, and they will be exhausted and die when the spiritual power dissipates. But people are different. The mortal body is imprisoned by time, but it can live forever. " Zhou Tai said.

For a while, everyone fell into a long silence.

Sun Ce hugged his chest with one hand, rested his chin with the other hand, pondered for a long time before saying, "Forcibly imprisoning time by one's own power is a law against the heavens."

"Since this is the case, if we enter, what are the chances that we can come out safely?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Ten percent."

Zhou Yu looked at him with a smile on hearing this.

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows, "What? You don't believe me?"

Zhou Yu didn't speak, and was the first to step into the barrier.

Sun Ce hooked the corner of his mouth and raised his heel.

After entering the city, the surrounding atmosphere became more and more terrifying.

It was clearly daytime, but the street was empty, with few people to be seen.The stalls and shops on the street also seemed to have been idle for a long time, and the signboards were dilapidated.

Pedestrians on the road were ragged, unkempt, and lifeless in their eyes.But Zhou Yu noticed that when those people saw the group of them entering the city, there was an imperceptible...like look of pity in their eyes.

"Senior Sister," Xiao Qiao felt frightened when she saw these strange people, quickly took Da Qiao's arm, and whispered, "They don't seem to welcome us..."

"Well, we have to be careful." Saying that, Da Qiao looked affectionately at Sun Ce who was walking ahead, but unfortunately the latter's heart was not with her.

"Let's not startle the snake for now, let's find a place to stay first." Zhou Tai suggested.

Seeing Sun Ce's expression of approval, Sun Quan stepped forward to stop a passer-by, and asked, "Old man, we are passing through this place, and we are not familiar with the place. I would like to ask where is the nearest inn?"

Hearing Sun Quan's words, the man had a strange expression on his face. He looked Sun Quan up and down, and then looked at the group of them one by one. He shook his head, sighed, and left without saying anything.

"Hey! You..." Xiao Qiao frowned, a little dissatisfied.

"Girl, it's okay." Sun Quan waved his hand and went on to find the next person, trying to slow down his tone, but the result was exactly the same as last time.

After trying four times like this, Sun Quan was finally discouraged.

Zhou Tai patted him on the back comfortingly, motioning him to look up.

The four big characters "Yixiang Inn" are right in front of you.

Settle down

The door of the inn in front of him was ajar, and the door frame was covered with cobwebs, as if it hadn't been opened for a long time.Sun Ce stepped forward and pushed the door lightly, only to hear a "squeak". As the door opened, a lot of dust fell from above.

The windows in the house were closed and there were no lights, making it very dark.The indoor tables and chairs also looked like they hadn't been touched for a long time. There was a thick layer of soil on them, and they still exuded the stale smell of wood.

Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao saw the situation inside the door from the outside, and immediately frowned, unwilling to approach.

Seeing the disgusted expressions on their faces, Sun Quan smiled knowingly, and said to them, "Girls are guarding outside, let's go in and have a look first."

The two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he entered the house, Zhou Yu could smell the smell of rotten wood, but it seemed to be mixed with other things...

Sun Quan patted his stained sleeve, but the dust flew straight to his face. He quickly covered his face with his hands, but still sucked in some dust, and couldn't help coughing a few times.

When everyone entered, they clearly sensed someone else's aura, but there was no one in the hall, so Zhou Tailang said, "Is the store here? A customer has come."

As soon as the words fell, everyone heard creaking footsteps upstairs, and then, an old man about 50 years old came out of a room, bent over the railing on the second floor and squinted at the four of them. People for a while.After a while, as if seeing their clothes clearly, the old man suddenly opened his eyes wide and his expression changed.

"How did you get in?! Get out!"

Zhou Yu took a step forward and explained, "Old man, we..."

It's a pity that he interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Your business is not here! Go away!"

As he said that, the old man walked down tremblingly holding on to the railing of the stairs, about to blast people out.

"Since it's an inn, how can you refuse customers?" Sun Ce said.

The old man couldn't help but just drive people out, cursing and saying something.

"Get out! You outsiders, why are you here to join in the fun! Get out!"

While speaking, all four of them were kicked out.The old man closed the door of the inn heavily, the sign of "Yixiang Inn" was shaken, and then he heard the sound of a lock coming from inside.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master, what's going on?"

"This store doesn't seem to like foreigners." Zhou Tai said.

Sun Quan nodded, "He's not the only one. Since just now, none of the people we met gave us a good face."

"These people are disgusting! We are here to help them!" Da Qiao said angrily.

Zhou Yu lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "Maybe, they don't want to involve us."

"Well," Sun Ce agreed, "Since that's the case, let's start with other outsiders."

Seeing that Zhou Yu's idea was approved by Sun Ce, Da Qiao was annoyed, and gave him a hard look while everyone was not paying attention.

Zhou Yu pretended not to look at anything
