Dream Maker [Rebirth]

Sang City has been sealed off for ten years, and the main road outside the Sifang City Gate has long been covered by weeds. Looking down from a high altitude, it looks like a rock that has been forgotten in the depths of the blue sea and isolated from the world for many years. .

As the Linglu went deeper into the land, the sound of the Jinjiang River's waves was gradually inaudible, and the only thing that could be heard was the occasional hoarse crows from the forest.

"Senior Sister, shall we stop outside the city gate?" Lu Ci turned around and asked Yuzhong.

Missang Yaoyue leaned over to look out the window, recalled for a while and lifted the curtain and replied: "No, go directly to the city. There is a stargazing altar in the middle of the city, and Lu Yu can stop on the top of the altar."

Luci nodded, pulled the rein to adjust the direction slightly, and drove Linglu straight to the city.

When he was about to pass the city gate, Lu Ci clearly saw the dense layers of spider webs outside the city gate below.Those were the Gu spider threads left behind when the city was closed ten years ago, and now they have been damaged by the wind and rain, and they are scattered and hung on the city wall, adding a touch of decadence to the already dilapidated Sang City.

If it is said that the outside of the city is only cold and quiet, then the inside of the city can only be described as eerie silence. The towering city wall is like a barrier that separates yin and yang. cold.

The wind blew across his neck, and Lu Ci thought it was because of his preconceived impression of Sangcheng for a moment, until Zhong Wangyou shivered, and the tremor spread from his belt to Lu Ci's palms, and he realized that it was just now. It is definitely not my own illusion.

"It's so cold here!" Zhong Wangyou couldn't help but rubbed his arms, then retracted his legs hanging in the air to the front board and bent up.

Just as he finally felt a little warmer, his eyes suddenly fell on the main street in the city, and the next sentence he wanted to say was choked in his throat and he lost his voice.

——As far as the eye can see, there are bones everywhere.

After several years of rain and wind, some of the bones were crooked and broken, some were twisted and deformed, and some of them had already been torn apart, and the human form could not be discerned at all.

The black silky hairs are scattered all over the ground, sometimes rising and sometimes falling in the gusts of wind, or entangled in the broken clothes, or entangled in the dead grass by the roadside, which makes people's scalp numb.

After all, Zhong Wangyou has been in Misang's house for ten years. Of course he has heard about the Gu trouble in Sangcheng, but it is one thing to hear about it, and another thing to witness it with his own eyes. For a boy of many years old, such a tragic situation is enough to be called shocking.

At the same time, Lu Ci, who was sitting on the other side of the road, had already seen the scene in the street, but he had experienced almost the same scene ten years ago, and he was prepared to witness it before coming to Sangcheng. Preparations for corpses strewn across the field, so the mood at this time is naturally much calmer than that of Zhong Wangyou.

Glancing sideways at the young man's face, Lu Ci already knew that the child must have suffered a lot, but before he could say anything, the young man raised his hand and pointed forward: "Is that so? Is it the stargazing altar?”

Lu Ci looked along his fingers, and sure enough, he saw a high platform standing not far in front of him, the top of the platform was really spacious enough to accommodate Lu Yu to land.

Luci immediately drove Linglu to that direction, then turned around and asked, "Do you regret coming with me?"

The young man blinked, then pursed his lips and shook his head: "That's not true, I was just thinking, now I just feel horrified when I see these skeletons, and the scene when the voodoo disease happened back then must have been even more horrific. "

Lu Ci nodded in agreement, turned around and led Ling Lu to the altar with all his heart.

It wasn't until Lu Yu landed smoothly that Lu Ci let go of the hand holding the boy's belt, jumped down and said, "Follow us closely, don't run around, you know?"

Zhong Wangyou nodded obediently, and after Misang Yaoyue and Ji Wuzhou got off the car, he stood obediently beside Misang Yaoyue, and he also grabbed her sleeves tightly.

Since the closure of the city that year, Misang Yaoyue has not set foot on this land for ten years.

Looking from a height at this time, the scene of bones everywhere is almost the same as that of the past, but after ten years of devastation, every house and building in the city has become dilapidated, and broken bricks and tiles are scattered in the streets and alleys. Racks of groceries were eroded beyond recognition by the wind and rain, and the shops with open doors and windows were full of dust and cobwebs.

Obviously just passing the Jinjiang River, the sky was still shining brightly on the earth, but after Luyu entered Sangcheng, a large group of dark clouds suddenly floated in the sky for no reason, covering the bright sky and creating a bright spot for this city. The dead city adds another point of depression.

Occasionally, a gust of cool wind blows across the street, and the rag-like wine streamers hanging in front of the shops on both sides are set off one after another, and the crooked plaque on the lintel squeaks and dangles, as if it is precarious and crumbling.

Misang Yaoyue took a deep breath. She never believed in the rumors of the evil spirits, but she also understood why Sangcheng is so cold—a place surrounded by mountains and rivers is already shady, not to mention that there is no living thing in this city. , the emptiness and dead silence will only make people feel more uneasy.

Zhong Wangyou saw that the three of them stood watching for a long time without any movement, so he couldn't help asking, "Aren't we going down?"

Only then did Missang Yaoyue come back to her senses, she withdrew her gaze from looking around, and walked down the long steps of the stargazing altar without saying a word.

At the bottom of the steps, Lu Ci took out the family-seeking Gu from his sleeve and dragged it in his palm, saying, "Start looking from here?"

Although he is already the master of this family-seeking Gu, he has never had the experience of manipulating Gu, and he doesn't know how this "searching for relatives" is. Now he has to ask for advice.

Misang Yaoyue carefully recalled the topography of Sang City in her mind, nodded and said: "From here, this observatory is just in the middle, not too far from the borders of the four directions, if the baby corpse Parents are really in the city, no matter where they are, they should be within the range of the Family Searching Gu."

Lu Ci nodded. It was only at this moment that he realized how helpful it would be for them to be accompanied by his senior sister on this trip. After all, Misang Yaoyue not only understands various Gus, but is also quite familiar with Sangcheng. The two of Ji Wuzhou came here, and at this time it was inevitable to take a lot of detours due to observation and experimentation.

Hearing what Misang Yaoyue said, Ji Wuzhou immediately took out the rib of the infant corpse, Misang Yaoyue took a look and knew what it was, and immediately directed Lu Ci to manipulate it without further delay. The family-seeking Gu.

The snow-white little spider followed the order, quickly crawled from the palm of Luci's palm to the fingertips, then lightly jumped and landed on the rib, slowly crawling back and forth to sniff.

After a long while, it seemed to have finally discovered the rib, and twisted its tail to "spit out" a slender white spider silk that stuck to the rib, and then crawled around the rib to "fasten" it, and then lightly Jumping down, while continuing to extend the spider silk, it fell to the ground along the spider silk.

After touching the ground, it hardly hesitated, and crawled straight towards the north with its tiny short legs dragging the spider silk.

Zhong Wangyou, who had been watching quietly, was dumbfounded, and blurted out after a while: "Why is this like walking a dog?"

Lu Ci is speechless, I have to say that his description is really apt, the ribs connected to the spider silk are still in Ji Wuzhou's hands, and the family-seeking Gu is running wildly on the other end of the spider silk, one glance Going there is really like walking a dog on a leash.

Ji Wuzhou and Lu Ci looked at each other. It was only at this moment that the two of them suddenly understood why the search range of this family-seeking Gu cannot be too large-such a small spider, even if it is full of spider silk, it can't pull it long. From a distance, if the target to be found is too far away, it may be beyond its reach.

Seeing the relative-seeking Gu crawling northward with such determination, several people immediately stepped up to follow. After walking for a while, Zhong Wangyou, who was eager to try, finally couldn't help asking: "Can... let me take it?"

He obviously held back for a long time. On the one hand, he didn't dare to make trouble because he promised not to cause trouble, and on the other hand, he really wanted to do it himself, so he was very cautious in his tone when he asked this question.

Ji Wuzhou glanced at him, and handed over the rib without paying much attention, Zhong Wangyou took it over happily, and ran to the front of the three of them to be the guide.

Zhong Wangyou followed the family-seeking Gu, and the three of them followed Zhong Wangyou. After passing through several empty streets all the way north, the speed of the family-seeking Gu suddenly slowed down. Judging something.

The few people then slowed down their pace, looked around, and found that they were already in an alley surrounded by residential houses, and the north wall of Sangcheng was directly opposite the end of the alley not far ahead.

Seeing that the relative-seeking Gu actually brought them here, Misang Yaoyue couldn't help thinking: "Is it here?"

Lu Ci heard that she seemed to have discovered something, and asked, "Why?"

Misang Yaoyue walked forward, pointing to the tall weeds not far from the city wall that are now half a person tall: "I remember that the canal should be there."

Lu Ci hurriedly followed, walked out of the alley to the opposite side and looked through the grass, and sure enough, there was a long and thin canal covered by the weeds.

As Misang Yaoyue said, this canal passes through the wall and leads to the outside of the city. Its narrowness is definitely not enough for an adult to pass through, but it is more than enough for a wooden basin containing a baby.

A lot of bones lay crookedly beside the canal. From the direction the skulls were facing, it could be seen that these people seemed to have tried to escape from Sangcheng through the canal before they died, but they failed in the end.

At this moment, Zhong Wangyou, who stayed in the alley holding the Seeking Gu, suddenly exclaimed: "Mother—come quickly!"

Several people turned around and saw that the little spider that had just stopped and wandered around was already crawling towards the door of a residential house, and the spider's silk behind it was instantly stretched straight, dragging Zhong Wangyou to follow quickly.

The three of them hurried back to the alley, followed Zhong Wangyou's footsteps and followed the relative-seeking Gu into the courtyard gate of that private house.

This is an extremely ordinary courtyard, with overgrown weeds on the soil, a lot of firewood piled up messily in the corners, and a huge water tank that has long since dried up and cracked.

After the family-seeking Gu got into the bushes, it was hard to find it. Fortunately, the white spider silk that led it was conspicuous, and they didn't need much effort to identify the direction it was heading.

After passing through the weeds in the courtyard, the relative-seeking Gu stopped in front of a hut facing the courtyard gate.

The doors and windows of this room have been loosened, the window sash is hanging obliquely on the window frame, and the door leaf is stuck between the door frame and is precarious.

There are no steps in front of the door, only a piece of square stone is used as a stepping stone, the relative-seeking Gu lightly jumped up, and dexterously sneaked into the house along the gap between the door leaf and the door frame.

Zhong Wangyou followed closely behind, but he couldn't go straight in due to the obstruction of the door panel. Seeing this, Lu Ci hurriedly stepped forward and forcefully tore off the door panel and leaned aside.

The house was full of cobwebs, and it was extremely dark. The roof was shaking with the door being removed, and light dust was sprinkled down. Several people couldn't help but coughed a few times, and raised their hands to disperse the dust that came from their pockets.

Just when the four of them hadn't gotten used to the darkness in the room, the Family Seeking Gu was already crawling towards the right without stopping, Zhong Wangyou hurriedly caught up with two steps, but after only two steps, he suddenly stopped In place.

At the end of the direction of the family-seeking Gu is a wooden framed bed that is placed close to the wall. The bed curtain that was originally hung on the top is now in tatters, and only the top is still disconnected from the bed frame.

Just behind the half-covered bed curtain, half of the corpse covered with clothes was faintly visible. The upper body of the corpse was covered by the bed curtain, and the pants on the lower body were tightly wrapped around the leg bones, giving people an inexplicable feeling of horror.

In addition, there is another white bone at the foot of the corpse. It looks like it was sitting on the ground beside the bed before death, with its upper body leaning forward and lying on the side of the bed.

Zhong Wangyou was obviously caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the two corpses in front of his eyes, and stood there for a long while before recovering: "Are they... are they the ones you are looking for?"

Lu Ci didn't answer, and stared at the family-seeking Gu that was still crawling on the ground together with Ji Wuzhou and Misang Yaoyue.

Zhong Wangyou realized it when he saw it. It was useless to ask him this question. How could the three of them know whether it was true or not? At this moment, the only thing that can confirm the identity of these two skeletons is the Family Searching Gu.

The little spider crawled forward without stopping, and in a blink of an eye it was close to the skeleton leaning against the bed.

Almost without the slightest hesitation, it slid in directly along the clothes, and after a while, it showed its figure at the neck of the skeleton, dragged the spider silk around the neck bone to wrap it tightly, then jumped onto the bed, and The ankle of another skeleton was also wrapped in a circle of spider silk.

After doing all this, it shook its tail and cut off the spider thread as if it was done, then turned around and jumped off the bed, crawling straight towards the four of them triumphantly.

The ribs of the infant corpse, the two corpses, were already firmly connected together by the white spider silk.

Seeing this situation, Missang Yaoyue finally affirmed: "It seems to be them."

Hearing this, Lu Ci couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Although they were seventy-eight percent sure that "the baby's corpse came from Sangcheng" before, but before they found conclusive evidence, the speculation was just speculation and not a conclusion.

Now that the relative-seeking Gu finds these two corpses by relying on the ribs of the infant corpse, it is equivalent to confirming the deduction as a fact, and this clue is finally fully established.

Zhong Wangyou squatted down and put the "Triumph" family-seeking Gu into his palm, while the three of Lu Ci stepped forward to lift the curtain of the bed, and looked at the two skeletons carefully.

The hair on the top of the skeleton's head is still well preserved, but the silk cloth used to bind the hair has long since rotted and scattered. It is no longer feasible to judge men and women by the hair.But fortunately, although the clothes worn by the two corpses were dirty and torn, they were still intact. From their styles, one could barely tell that they were indeed a man and a woman.

Now that this festival has been confirmed, Ji Wuzhou didn't delay any longer, and directly took out the Wanling staff from his waist and handed it to Luci.

"Me?" Lu Ci was a little surprised.

When I was in the coastal wine shop before, it was because Ji Wuzhou’s own memory was to be explored, so Lu Ci was allowed to control the staff, but now to explore the memories of others, Lu Ci did not expect Ji Wuzhou to be controlled by him. .

"Well," Ji Wuzhou responded casually, "Practice makes perfect, try it a few times."

Although Lu Ci didn't understand the use of being familiar with it at all, he still took the staff according to his words, and then enlarged it and stood it among several people, motioning for senior sister and Zhong Wangyou to put their hands on the handle of the staff .

Although it was the first time for Misang Yaoyue to explore memory, she had always been calm and did not show much novelty. However, as a young man, Zhong Wangyou was not so indifferent. When she put her hand on the staff , the anticipation and curiosity on the boy's face were almost overflowing.

After the four of them held it together, Lu Ci immediately manipulated the staff and began to cast spells. With the experience of last time as a foundation, this time he was able to make the staff work skillfully without much effort.

When the bell sound rippled, Zhong Wangyou couldn't help but blurted out the exclamation that he endured and endured: "Wow——"
