Prince is a ghost

On the third day after traveling to this strange world, Chu Quan finally met a fellow of his kind.

One second he was still in a spacious and comfortable office, and the next second he appeared in a deserted mountain.It took Chu Quan a long time to accept this reality.Surrounding him are towering trees, the sun shines on him in mottled patterns through the branches, and there are bursts of birdsong from unknown places.

Without a direction, he can only move forward by feeling; without a road, he creates a road; without food, he learns from the protagonist in the wilderness survival, suppressing the nausea in his heart to fill his stomach.

After three days of living like a savage, he finally found one of his kind at the foot of the mountain.From a distance, a man leaned against a big tree, sitting quietly.A smile appeared on Chu Quan's dirty face, and he immediately walked towards the man.

When he was still some distance away from the man, Chu Quan smelled a foul stench.His heart sank, with an ominous premonition.Chu Quan cautiously approached the man, and sure enough, the man was dead.

The man died terribly, there was nothing in his stomach, and his viscera had obviously been eaten up by wild beasts.A swarm of ridiculously large flies buzzed around the corpse, and white worms wriggled constantly on the corpse.

Chu Quan only felt a surge of gastric juice, and then vomited it out.After vomiting, he didn't stop for a long time, it seemed that he had vomited out all the contents of his stomach, his throat was burning and painful, and the corners of his eyes were soaked with physiological tears.

After Chu Quan vomited, he rested for a while.Then cheered up, covered his mouth and nose, and approached the man's body again.

From the man's attire, Chu Quan could deduce that he came to a world without modern civilization.Chu Quan suppressed the nausea in his heart, and stretched out his hands to feel around the corpse.Huangtian paid off, he really found two things.A tattered map, and a small crystal clear object, the style is a bit like an ancient jade pendant, but you can feel that this is not the texture of jade when you hold it in your hand.Chu Quan didn't think too much, put away the two things, bowed to the corpse, and set off again.

All the places in the mountain looked the same, Chu Quan marked it according to the method he read in the book before, and walked straight down.In less than half a day, he walked out of the mountain, and there was a vast expanse in front of him.

Chu Quan felt sorry for the man who died in the mountain. If he persisted for a long time, his death would not be so miserable.

Chu Quan rested overnight at the foot of the mountain, and continued walking the next day.He has no destination, he just hopes to meet a living person of the same kind and tell him where this is and what kind of world it is.

On the way, he took out the map he found from the corpse and studied it for a long time, but he still understood it, so he had to put the map away and continue walking by feeling.

When a city appeared in front of Chu, his first reaction was—is this a mirage?How could a city suddenly appear in this wilderness?Even in the ancient times when traffic was not smooth, communication between cities was indispensable.There is no reason to build a city here, not to mention that there is no one outside the city.

Even though he had doubts, Chu Quan came to the door decisively.There are three large characters erected on the city gate, Anling City.

The city gate was open, and it was pitch black when looking inside, and nothing could be seen.A gust of dark wind came out of the door, making Chu Quan feel a little cool.

Chu Quan hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and entered the city.

It was dusk and the sun was setting.Chu Quan walked on the empty street, feeling uneasy in his heart.

This is an empty city, there is no one in it, but all the houses and buildings are neatly arranged on both sides of the road, without any signs of dilapidation.The doors of every house were closed. Chu Quan tried to knock on the door of a residential house, but got no response.Chu Quan didn't dare to rush in, so he had no choice but to continue walking along the street.

But no matter where he went, there was deathly silence all around.Apart from the fact that there was no one there, Chu Quan vaguely felt that something was wrong.

At the end of the third street, Chu Quan stopped, turned around and looked at the deserted street and the ancient houses with fried eggs on both sides, and finally realized where the problem was.

No matter which dynasty it is in, there are two things that cannot be lacking in the city-entertainment and material intermediary.Even in ancient times, there were inns, restaurants, pawnshops, and even brothels in cities.And here, none of that exists.It is not normal for a city to be full of houses with closed doors.

It was getting darker and darker, and Chu Quan was tired from walking. He didn't know how big the city was, but he could be sure that it was an empty city, or a ghost city.Chu Quan stopped, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door of a private house.

The visibility in the house was very low, so Chu Quan concentrated on observing the surrounding scene.This is a main hall, with several coffins neatly placed in the center, but nothing else.

Looking at such a scene, Chu Quan was surprisingly calm.Even the impossible thing like crossing happened to him, and now even if a zombie pops out of the coffin to greet him, he believes that he can...

Chu Quan's face froze, and he saw a little white rising from the coffin in front of him.Youbai gradually rises and merges into a human shape.It can be seen that this is a woman with a graceful figure. Before Chu Quan had time to see You Bai's face clearly, another You Bai rose from the coffin next to her.

Chu Quan instinctively retreated to the door and ran away.But he didn't start running, and a huge ghost floated out from the house in front of him. He turned around suddenly, and three or four ghosts came into view again.Chu Quan cursed secretly, and turned into a small alley beside the street.

As night fell, Chu Quan smoothly merged into one.As if in the blink of an eye, the originally empty street suddenly became lively.All kinds of ghosts came and went, floating in the air and talking loudly, and the white light they emitted lit up the city.

This is indeed a ghost city—a city where only ghosts live, Chu Quan thought with horror, these ghosts sleep in corpses during the day, and wander every street in the city at night.There is no need for shops or restaurants in the city, only houses for coffins.

Chu Quan curled up in the corner, not daring to make a sound, as a ghostly voice came from the street not far away.

"I heard that the Lord City Lord fell ill again recently, tsk tsk, how pitiful."

"It's just an old man, what's so pitiful, he will become like us sooner or later."

"If the current city lord dies, will the deputy city lord succeed him? What a nuisance, Miss Ben doesn't like him."

……

None of the ghosts seemed to notice his presence.Just as Chu Quan breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, he felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat. He closed his eyes suddenly, and didn't even have the courage to look back.

"You're finally here," said a cheerful male voice, "The Santo and I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Chu Quan felt the warmth of a living person on his shoulders. He opened his eyes and turned around slowly. A middle-aged man about his height shrouded in darkness.

"Who?" Chu Quan's voice was unnaturally hoarse without speaking for a long time.

"Song Shuangfei." The man introduced himself simply, "Come with me."

Walking with someone of the same kind is at least better than staying here and hiding from a large group of ghosts. Chu Quan followed the man. Seeing that the man was about to walk out of the alley, Chu Quan quickly stopped him: "There are ghosts outside."

The man laughed, "Of course, this is a ghost town!"

"Won't they harm humans?"

The man showed an inexplicable expression, "They are vengeful spirits, as long as you wear the 'Wall of Shadow' on your body, they will not be able to harm you."

Chu Quan said depressedly: "I don't have that kind of thing."

"You have." Song Shuangfei pointed to Chu Quan's waist, "Aren't you hanging there?"

Chu Quan looked down and saw that it was the jade pendant he found from the male corpse. This was the "Wall of Shadow" that Song Shuangfei said.

Song Shuangfei realized that something was wrong with Chu Quan, and asked, "Aren't you a spirit master sent from outside?"

Just as Chu Quan was about to come back, a touch of white floated in front of his eyes, and a ghost stopped in front of the two of them.This is a female ghost with revealing clothes and a pretty face. She giggled and said, "Come and see! A new spirit master!"

As soon as she said this, all the ghosts gathered around Chu Quan, looked at him, and started talking about him.

"Hey, this young man is really handsome."

"The new spirit master is here, it seems that the old immortal is really hopeless?"

Song Shuangfei kept a sullen face and kept silent, holding Chu Quan's hand and walking forward.It was the first time for Chu Quan to be surrounded by Wraith Spirits like this, and he felt uneasy.He was slightly relieved when he found out that those wraiths that didn't have a physical body couldn't touch him.

Song Shuangfei took Chu Quan to the end of the street, and a mansion appeared in front of Chu Quan.Compared with the dwellings of the wraiths, this is a mansion.Chu Quan followed Song Shuangfei into it, thinking that he could see a few more living people, but he didn't expect that it was still empty inside, but everything needed for human life was still available.

Chu Quan couldn't help asking, "Is there no one else here?"

Song Shuangfei said: "In the entire Anling City, there are only two living people, me and the city lord. Of course, there are three now."

Chu Quan forced a smile, "Aren't you the deputy city lord?"

"correct."

"..."

"Why don't you get more people to come?"

"That's only for others to be able to come in." Song Shuangfei led Chu Quan across the yard, came to the first bedroom, and said loudly: "City Lord, the people have arrived."

An old voice came from the bedroom: "Take him down to rest first. Cough..."

"Yes, City Lord." Song Shuangfei turned to Chu Quan, "Come with me."

"Is the city lord not in good health?"

"Well, after all, I'm getting older and getting worse every day." Song Shuangfei took Chu Quan to another room and said, "This is your room. I live next door to you. Call me if you need anything."

"Brother Song, please stop." Chu Quan said with a smile, "You don't mind if I call you that?"

"Of course not." Song Shuangfei waved his hands boldly, "What do you want?"

"Nothing. Just thank you for your help today."

"I didn't do anything worthy of your thanks. You are really polite. In Anling City, there are only three living people, you and the city lord. We will naturally get along like a family in the future."

Chu Quan nodded in agreement.

Song Shuangfei patted Chu Quan on the shoulder, "Work hard, young spirit master."

Chu Quan knew very well that he was not the spirit master Song Shuangfei was looking for, but he didn't intend to let Song Shuangfei and the city lord know this.After all, these are the only two living people he has encountered since traveling. In this "ghost town", he must hold his thighs tightly.

Chu Quan's room is divided into inner and outer rooms.The inner room is the resting bedroom. When Chu Quan saw the bed, he resisted the impulse in his heart and didn't jump on it. He has been playing in the wild for several days now, and his body is so dirty that he even despises himself.The outer room is like a study room, with many books on the shelves.Chu Quan casually took down a slightly worn-out book, and on the cover of the book, three characters could be vaguely seen—An Lingshi.

Chu Quan said that the city he was in was called Anling City. Could this book be about the history of Anling City?Chu Quan couldn't wait to open the book, looking for the answer.

In the 100th year since the founding of Dayan, the emperor specially ordered the construction of a "ghost city" to house those vengeful spirits who did not rest in peace, causing resentment to grow after death and turned into spirits.Most of these vengeful spirits were abused and insulted during their lifetime. After death, the grievances still linger for a long time. Their souls are no longer complete and cannot enter reincarnation. The incomplete souls gradually gather into so-called vengeful spirits.Most of the wraiths are vicious and cruel, often endangering civilians and doing many evils.

The only one who can control them is the "Spirit Control Master".But even a spirit master can only control the wraiths, but cannot completely destroy them.The emperor sent a powerful psychic master to gather all the wraiths together, placed them in Anling City, and assigned the psychic master to stay permanently.

Today, Anling City has a history of more than 100 years.Over the past 100 years, the number of resentful spirits has gradually increased, but the number of spirit masters in the city has remained unchanged, at two to three.As long as ordinary people enter Anling City, they will be invaded by the death energy of the resentful spirit and die instantly.Unless there is a wall of shadow protection.

Chu Quan put the object in his hand to play with.This is the Wall of Shadows. It seems that the man who died on the mountain was Song Shuangfei and other spiritual masters. He came to Anling City with the Wall of Shadows and was mistakenly recognized.

Chu Quan held onto the Wall of Shadows tightly—since he was wrong, let him continue to be wrong.
