Onmyoji reincarnation plan

The mummy's sunken eyes were empty and lifeless, as if it didn't hear Xia Qi's words, it took out a bunch of 'eyeball candied haws' and forced it into his hands.

Xia Qi held up one arm stiffly and straightly, and the blood of the 'eyeball candied haws' slowly flowed down the wooden stick to his hand. Immediately, the facial features on his face were petrified, and his eyes were filled with nausea and panic.

Calling 'Mom' is not ashamed!Nima, this is so exciting! !

Seeing Xia Qi's expression, the mummy seemed very satisfied, pulled the wrinkled skin on his face, turned and left.

Not far away, Xia Qi let go of his hand immediately, and the string of 'candied haws with eyes' fell to the ground, splashing flowers and blood all over the ground, and said with lingering fear: "The candied haws have become the biggest psychological shadow in my life now, I Swear I'll never eat it again."

Ah Yan kicked a pile of bloody things on the ground in disgust, and said empathetically, "I won't eat any more either."

Xia Qi moved his numb arm, and when he was about to take it back, he caught a glimpse of the smelly blood on his hand, looked around, saw a Wushui River not far away, pointed in the direction and said: "I'm going to wash my hands, you guys wait for me here for a while." After that, a man strode over.

Qing Ming glanced at the distance, not far away, and let out a relieved 'hmm'.

The entire dead city was in a daze, shrouded in light turbid black smoke and mist. Ghostly will-o'-the-wisps swayed on the dead trees on both sides of the river bank, making terrifying 'beep' sounds from time to time.

After walking down several stone steps, Xia Qi squatted by the water platform and scrubbed the blood on his hands, looking around at the Wushui River.

The water flow of this river is very unusual. It is divided into two sides from the middle. The water flow on the side where I am washing my hands is gentle, and the water flow on the other side is turbulent.The gentle side of the water flows eastward, while the swift side of the water flows westward. I don't know where it flows, and I don't know how many miles the river is.

At this time, he inadvertently saw a figure passing by on the opposite side of the river, and was taken aback for a moment. Although he couldn't see clearly what it was through the smoke, it was obviously different from those weird corpses in the city.He stood up and shook the water droplets off his hands, thought for a moment, and suddenly a person appeared in his mind, the figure of that figure seemed to be Tian Xuan.

Looking at the other side of the river, the figure has disappeared.

Xia Qi immediately turned around and jumped up the stone steps, ran back quickly, panting and said: "Qing Ming, I just saw a man on the other side of the river, very much like your father."

Hearing this, Qing Ming was startled, and then asked: "Did you stop him?"

"No," Xia Qi shrugged his shoulders, "it's dark, he disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Qing Ming said: "Then which direction did he go?"

Xia Qi turned his head and squinted, looked at the other side of the river calmly, pointed out, "Over there."

The other three people looked in the direction, and under the cover of the smoke, they couldn't see what was going on there at all. They could only vaguely see corpses walking on the road and a large piece of colorful fire reflecting the night sky over there. .

"Let's go and have a look." Qing Ming said lightly.

Don't look at this Wushui River is very long, but!After walking along the river for a long time, there was only one bridge that could reach the other bank.It's still a dilapidated wooden suspension bridge hanging on both sides!

A few people stood on it, and the suspension bridge swayed non-stop. Every time they took a step, the almost rotten wooden boards under their feet creaked.Maybe it's because the dead city doesn't see the sun all year round, and it's cold and humid, which makes these wooden boards grow a thick layer of moss, which is very slippery, and if it's not serious, it will fall on the ground!

"Why is the water in this river so strange? There are two opposite currents in one river." Ah Yan noticed the water below and wondered.

Xia Qi walked cautiously with his head down, and said casually: "I found out when I was washing my hands just now, it's quite interesting, it's a wonder."

Qing Ming leaned on the iron chain of the suspension bridge, stared at the river below, turned to look at Xia Qi and said slowly: "Did you find something wrong in the water just after washing your hands?"

"No, what's wrong?"

Qing Ming hesitated to speak, "It's okay, just ask."

Looking up at him, I always feel that his expression seems to be hiding something.

baffling!

After crossing the frightening rotten wooden bridge, my eyes suddenly brightened. The black smoke and mist I saw on the other side of the river and on the bridge suddenly dissipated, as if it had never appeared.Looking at the things in front of them again, they stayed on the side of the wooden bridge just now, and the scene they saw was the same as the dead city they had imagined, with cold and desolate streets, dark and dilapidated low houses everywhere, and corpses encountered on the road. Ling is also ragged, dirty and ugly.

But on the side of the wooden bridge, although there is only a bridge and a river, the scene is quite different.

It's still a zombie walking stiffly, but it's well-groomed, clean and tidy, and it's really 'a decent death to die'.Look at the houses on both sides, the pavilions, the elegant rooms, the lanterns hanging in front of the door are different from the ghost fires over there, but the open flames burning inside are the open flames of the human world, and they are bright everywhere.

Why!After being separated by a river, the difference is so big!

Could this be the true face of the legendary forbidden place 'Dead City'?

Qing Ming was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery here. After all, he was related by blood, and he still cared about his father, "Archie, where did you see my father go?"

Xia Qi twirled his fingers, searched for a moment, and pointed to a street: "There."

A few people entered the street, and there was a high wall on both sides of the inside, stretching along the high lanterns, and there were only a few corpses wandering idly on the road.

After walking for a long while, they finally came to the end of this street, which was a small three-story Accord building standing alone.The marble surface is paved within ten feet in front of the door, and two white jade carvings of flying dragons are placed on each side, as if alive.Looking up, the railings on the upper floor seem to be made of gloomy wood, and there are some dragons and phoenix patterns carved on it.And the top roof is made of unknown tiles, which is dazzling in the light of the lights.

To sum up the evaluation, elegant and luxurious!

Qing Ming looked at the name on the plaque of this small building, and asked suspiciously: "Ah Qi, are you sure my father has entered this alley?"

Shaggy nodded.

This... I don't blame Qing Ming for saying that, because the plaque says "Peony Pavilion."

Listening to the bursts of laughter and laughter coming from inside, uh...it seems like a not very serious place.But there is not only such a building here, it is stuck at the end of the alley, and there is no other way out.

Qing Ming frowned, and said to himself: "Will my father come to this kind of place?"

Xia Qi coughed and said hesitantly: Maybe your father is old, and after living for thousands of years, his heart is more or less empty and lonely. It's normal to visit this kind of place. "

There was a burst of laughter beside him, Ah Yan covered his stomach and said, "Master Xia, you don't want to say that the old ghost king specially ran to the forbidden area of ​​the underworld just to have fun?"

Hearing this sentence, Ning Xin couldn't help laughing, laughed out loud, and patted Ah Yan on the head.

Xia Qi stood awkwardly, curling his lips.

"Since everyone is here, let's go in and have a look." Qing Ming said helplessly.

Xia Qi agreed: "That's right! You're here now, let's go in and have a look. What if this isn't an unscrupulous place! What if Qing Ming's father is doing business?"

Ah Yan held back his laughter, and raised his voice: "Really?! I don't think it's because Head Xia wants to come to this kind of place, so he deliberately said that the old ghost king came here?"

This brat did it on purpose!Chi Guoguo's challenge!

Xia Qi felt a burst of cold air coming from beside him, and he could figure out who it was with his toes.Sure enough, Qing Ming looked at him with a dark face.

He glared at Ah Yan, "What do you think about all day when you're young?" Then he turned to Ning and said, "Take care of it, it doesn't matter whether it's big or small."

Ning Xin raised his eyebrows, "I can't control him."

Never mind!It's not all what you're used to!

When a few people stepped into the Peony Pavilion, Xia Qi was startled, and thought to himself, he opened his mouth!You can set up a fortune-telling booth at the entrance of the temple!This Peony Pavilion is really not a messy place for fireworks, but a place where people and ghosts who stray into this place gather, similar to a post station.

The owner of the Peony Pavilion is an individual and a great beauty named 'Yueniang'.After Xia Qi and his party came in, she glanced at it, and knowing that it was a corpse, she invited them to sit down and poured a cup of tea.

After some inquiries, Xia Qi and the others learned that this dead city was originally the junction of the human world and the underworld. Although there are corpses living there, it is inevitable that some bold people and ghosts will come here to find out.But the power of the dead city cannot be controlled by the power of the human world, and the underworld doesn't care about it. After being listed as a forbidden area, it even breaks away from the rule of the underworld. Whenever humans and ghosts enter by mistake, there will always be some troubles It was bloody, and even a few corpses ran out through the passage where the ghosts came in, causing havoc.

Xia Qi said: "That's why the Peony Pavilion appeared, it became a resting place for people and ghosts who wandered in by mistake, and it also governed the corpses in the dead city by the way."

Yueniang nodded and said, "Not bad."

Ning Xin sized up Yueniang for a long time, puzzled and said: "Yueniang, you are only around 20 years old, and you don't have any spiritual power in your body, how do you manage this city?"

Yueniang smiled sweetly, "I really don't have spiritual power, and I can't take care of this city. I say that I am the owner of the Peony Pavilion, but in fact I am just a housekeeper. Even the owner of the Peony Pavilion I dare not go out the door."

Now Xia Qi didn't understand, and asked, "Then who manages this city?"

Yueniang glanced at Qingming, she seemed to be able to recognize his identity, and said softly: "It is said that a long time ago, the city of the dead was still part of the underworld, but later it was designated as a forbidden area for fear of disturbing the order. Since then, the dead city has become a land without an owner. The corpses in the city wantonly gnawed on the people who strayed by mistake, and even tore the souls of some ghosts. The chaos was so great that a person suddenly came to the dead city and took These corpse spirits were subdued honestly, did not dare to do evil, and carefully managed to build the dead city you see now, and became the only boss here."

Qing Ming pondered for a long time in silence, then said in a deep voice, "Who is that person?"

Yue Niang sipped her tea gracefully, and said unhurriedly: "I don't know that, I call him the Lord of the Ghost Realm just like the previous pavilion masters."

The author has something to say:

I may become Malatang, I eat Malatang every day...
