"What, what's going on? Is it haunted?" Xu Baozhu was about to cry.
"No, it's just an illusion. What we see is what this city looked like before." After Gu Qingxi finished speaking, she walked over.
Xu Baozhu followed beside him crying. Fang Jingxue originally had her hand on the hilt of the sword ready to draw the sword. When she saw Gu Qingxi walking over with a calm expression, she also followed him.
Soon, Xu Baozhu and Fang Jingxue understood the meaning of Gu Qingxi's words.
They were walking on this busy street, but no one on the street seemed to be able to see them. And they can pass through these people's bodies.
Sure enough, what they saw was just what the city looked like before.
After confirming that it was not a ghost, Xu Baozhu gradually became bolder. She walked to the street vendors to watch others selling their goods.
"Hey, Qingxi, look at this hairpin, it's quite pretty." Xu Baozhu said, pointing to a jade hairpin on the stall.
The hosta is not made of any good jade, but its appearance is very special. It looks like a dragonfly, lifelike. I don't know what the thin wings are made of, and they will tremble slightly as the wind blows.
"Miss Xu has a really good eye. This hosta was made by my grandfather in the early years. There was no good material at that time. My grandfather later made it and forgot about it. I just dug it out today." The vendor said with a smile.
Xu Baozhu's heart trembled. Is this vendor talking to herself?
But soon, Xu Baozhu put his heart back into place after being startled.
A girl in luxurious clothes stopped in front of the vendor's stall, picked up the hosta and looked at it carefully.
"Wow, there used to be a girl with the same surname as me in this city." Xu Baozhu patted her chest, passed the girl Xu, and ran to Gu Qingxi's side, saying with lingering fear. At that time, she thought the vendor was calling her, and she was scared out of her wits. She still felt safe with Qing Xi.
Gu Qingxi was looking at Miss Xu. A young girl who is not pretty but feels very gentle, followed by two maids and two guards. In addition to having the same surname as Xu Baozhu, this girl Xu is also slightly fat.
"Eh? She looks a bit like me?" Xu Baozhu was also looking at Miss Xu. Then my heart, which had just calmed down a moment ago, was frightened again by this discovery.
"Hey, Qing Xi, why do you look a little like me? I'm so scared. What is the test in this illusion? Will there be people who look like you and Fang Jingxue appearing soon? We won't be left behind. Are you in this illusion?" Xu Baozhu trembled.
"Don't be afraid." Gu Qingxi patted Xu Baozhu's chubby hand and comforted her softly.
Then Gu Qingxi watched Miss Xu buy the hairpin and slowly strolled down the street with the maid. Many people greeted her, and she smiled and greeted people in the city.
"What is her identity? Why do so many people in the city seem to know her?" Xu Baozhu murmured in a low voice.
Before Gu Qingxi could speak, they soon knew the girl's identity.
She is the daughter of the city lord.
"Miss, please go back quickly. The Lord of the City asked you to go back quickly. Mr. Lou has already arrived." A guard from a distance ran over, and when he arrived in front of Miss Xu, he bowed and said.
"Is Lou Baiyi here?" A smile appeared on Miss Xu's face, and she walked forward faster.
Gu Qingxi and the others followed. Gu Qingxi always felt that the key to this test was this girl Xu.
After arriving at the imposing City Lord's Mansion, Gu Qingxi and the others naturally encountered no obstruction. They followed Miss Xu into the City Lord's Mansion and saw Mr. Lou whom the guards mentioned in the living room.
This Mr. Lou is gentle and polite, with a handsome face and a tall posture. Although he is wearing armor, he has the temperament of a scholar.
"Bao'er!" When the young man named Lou Baiyi saw Miss Xu, his expression became softer, and his eyes were full of affection when he looked at Miss Xu.
"You, why are you here? Aren't you on an expedition?" Miss Xu suppressed the joy in her heart and asked doubtfully.
"We are going west to provide support. When we pass by here, I will stop by to see you." Lou Baiyi said with a smile.
This man in white clothes looked gentle and elegant, but he didn't expect that he was actually a military commander. And it seems that his official position is not low.
"Ahem, I'll go have a cup of tea first while you guys chat. Bao'er, don't delay Baiyi. Baiyi can only stay for two-quarters of an hour." The city lord coughed twice on the side and hurried out without waiting for the two juniors to say anything. .
The two young men were left talking to each other inside.
"Her surname is Xu, also called Bao'er..." Xu Baozhu trembled again. I always feel that something is wrong with this illusion, it’s so scary, ugh.
Gu Qingxi also felt that something was wrong, but what was wrong?
I always feel that this illusion seems to be aimed at Xu Baozhu. why?
The time in this illusion suddenly began to speed up, and Gu Qingxi and the others also finished reading the story.
Both the city lord and the eldest lady were loved by the people. Lou Baiyi was a general, and he and the eldest lady were their childhood sweethearts. They were in love with each other and had already arranged to get married. Just wait until the two of them get married after retreating from the enemy.
The enemy troops had been repulsed. But hundreds of enemy soldiers fled, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. So he lurked in this city and wanted to avenge the enemy general. Naturally, he wanted to kill the enemy general's most beloved person.
The enemy attacked, and although the city lord organized guards to resist, they were still defeated.
The enemy troops burned, killed and looted in the city, and the city was in chaos.
Lou Baiyi learned the news and led his troops to rush back as soon as possible.
However, after entering the city, he saw a scene that left his eyes open. The eldest lady was shot through the chest by the enemy leader while trying to protect a child.
Blood splattered and the whole world seemed to turn red.
Although Lou Baiyi led his men to annihilate all the enemy troops, he could never get back the fat girl who loved to smile.
Everyone is urging him to express his condolences.
He said nothing and locked himself in the room.
Finally, a cold and cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Since she is no longer here, let's destroy them all."
He sealed off the entire city and set up a soul-suppressing array. It turned out that he had seen this kind of evil magic in a secret book before.
He wanted all the city residents to be buried with her.
She lost her life to save these citizens, why should these citizens still be alive?
"That's too much!" Fang Jingxue clenched her fists. The dead citizens were all the people the eldest lady wanted to protect, including infant babies. Childish and innocent!
Xu Baozhu looked pale, covered in cold sweat, and murmured: "It's too cruel. Everyone is dead, and their souls can't be reincarnated. They are all trapped here..." She also saw a three or four-year-old girl. , I watched blankly as my parents died and then died slowly. When Lou Baiyi and Miss Xu were shopping, she even gave them a flower.
Gu Qingxi narrowed her eyes slightly and let out a sigh in her heart while talking to the Ancestor Wanling: "A love-minded boar really doesn't know how to do anything."
Ancestor Wanling once again lamented the little devil’s poisonous tongue, it was really poisonous!
"Do you think what Lou Baiyi did is right? Answer immediately, otherwise you will fail the test if you don't give the true answer from your heart." A voice suddenly rang in the ears of the three of them.
