By the way, the people who were worried and anxious at first started to think carefully after hearing what the people around them said, and quietly followed the pedestrians towards the unknown gathering.
After walking for who knows how long, the legendary gathering did not appear, but those who were on the way found that the scenery around them became increasingly gloomy and desolate.
Originally, I could still see a bamboo forest, but later, as I walked, I could only see corpses all over the ground.
Some of the well-preserved ones are still contained in bone altars, while other bone altars are so damaged that the bones inside are scattered on the ground.
The most terrifying thing is that in this place full of corpses, terrifying vicious dogs can be seen everywhere, staring at a pair of blood-red eyes, currently gnawing on the bones on the ground.
It turned out that the broken bone altars and the corpses exposed inside were all broken by these vicious dogs.
The person who was on the road at the moment no longer cared about the beauty in the world, he just wanted to escape as soon as possible.
Because the pedestrians at the front had already been thrown to the ground by some of the vicious dogs.
The terrifying vicious dog opened its mouth, and directly inside its throat, there was a human head.
When a vicious dog opens its mouth and bites a person's blood vessel.
The heads from the throats of those vicious dogs also crawled out and bit directly on the throat of the pedestrian who fell to the ground.
The man on the road was frightened. At this moment, he heard a rooster crow in his ears, and then he seemed to hear the call of his wife in the darkness.
The man walked into the darkness following his wife's call.
Although they couldn't see their fingers in the darkness, the people on the road still walked carefully based on the position where the sound came from.
As we walked, all the previous pedestrians disappeared, and the previously terrifying vicious dogs also disappeared.
Just when the passerby felt strange, he felt a heavy rain falling from the sky, and countless raindrops sprinkled on his face.
The passerby raised his eyes and looked around, only to find an even weirder scene.
The heavy rain actually fell on his head alone.
Just when he felt strange, his vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned home inexplicably.
Lin Qiaoyue was standing in the bustling city. She didn't know why, but she suddenly remembered a story that the elder sister had told her before.
However, this story is not entirely meant to entertain children.
To be precise, this story was actually told personally by a patient of senior sister Ning Ci.
Later, someone told the patient that what a person sees after death is different from what a living person sees.
The blood moon in the night sky is the best proof.
Lin Qiaoyue frowned secretly and looked at the blood-red moon above her head again. She was convinced that she was definitely not dead.
The huge city was not much different from the Lingzhou City we had seen before. The only difference was that the pedestrians beside Lin Qiaoyue were very similar to the story Ning Ci told before.
Because he found that the pedestrians beside him also had expressionless faces, with no trace of sadness or joy on their faces. It was almost exactly the same as the funeral procession I had seen on the southwest official road before.
The city in front of you has an indescribable weird feeling everywhere.
But what puzzled Lin Qiaoyue the most was that she clearly remembered that she was standing on the Chen family's ancestral grave.
How come we arrived at this strange city in the blink of an eye?
Lin Qiaoyue felt strange in her heart. She was standing in an unfamiliar city and didn't know where to go.
At this moment, a woman's cry suddenly sounded next to her ears.
The woman's gentle sobs were getting closer and closer.
The sobbing was accompanied by the shaking of chains and the scolding of several men.
"Go on, why are you lingering?"
"That's right, I should have known why I had to do this in the first place."
"If you don't abide by the family rules, we will go to the ancestral hall today to sue you and make your crimes public. Then the clan leader will deal with you personally."
Lin Qiaoyue glanced away with the corner of her eyes, but never wanted to meet the eyes of the crying woman.
She saw that the latter suddenly became crazy. She looked at Lin Qiaoyue and shouted anxiously.
"Help me, help me."
"Stop yelling, even the gods can't save you today."
The men beside the woman were wearing long black robes, covering most of their skin, leaving only half of their pale cheeks and lips stained with black paint, which looked unusually abrupt.
These men pulled on the iron chains and dragged the woman away directly into the distance under the helpless eyes of the woman.
Lin Qiaoyue didn't look at it with straight eyes.
He hid his expression and blended in with the numb pedestrians around him.
Perhaps the men escorting the woman did not notice Lin Qiaoyue's abnormality. They did not even raise their eyes to look at her, and then dragged the woman towards the city gate.
Lin Qiaoyue frowned, looked at the tearful woman, and followed her secretly.
She thought to herself that maybe she could find the soul that Hu Biao and the others had lost from these people.
After entering the city gate, there were neither many nor few pedestrians walking on the road, but it was the white skeletons hanging on the wall that caught Lin Qiaoyue's attention.
These normal human-sized white bone skeletons have their mouths opened, and there is a circular groove in the middle of the Tianling Cap of all the skulls.
This is no ordinary wall decoration, but a lamp holder made from a human skull.
Lin Qiaoyue had seen lamp holders made of bronze and stone before. This was the first time Lin Qiaoyue had seen a lamp holder made with human brains.
She followed the group of men in black robes and slowly continued walking along the stone road in the middle of the city. She didn't know how long she walked when she saw a tall tower appearing in front of her.
The two vermilion doors were open, and the cold and depressing atmosphere in the room was already hitting his nostrils even before he entered it.
In order not to alert the snake, Lin Qiaoyue jumped to a window very high from the ground.
Immediately afterwards, she passed through the window and hid on the beam of the room.
When Lin Qiaoyue hid on the beam, she saw dozens of guys in black robes appearing in the hall below.
The woman who was bound by the iron rope was slumped on the ground helplessly, her whole body trembling with fear, and she quietly looked at the man sitting in front of her.
Lin Qiaoyue looked over and saw an old man in his sixties sitting on the seat. His face was covered with beards and age spots almost covering his entire face.
Could this person be the legendary clan leader?
Lin Qiaoyue continued to sit on the beam and secretly observed what was happening in the hall.
At this time, there was a commotion below.
"You are so courageous, Su Sanniang. You dare to break into the forbidden area privately with the intention of releasing the soul inside. For committing such a heinous crime, even if you are cut into pieces, it will not be able to eliminate the hatred in my heart."
The old man at the head of the table looked at the woman named Su Sanniang below and shouted loudly.
"Su Sanniang, do you know? What do these souls mean to us in Chenjiagou? Every soul in the forbidden land is hard-won and has taken a lot of effort. How can you just say that you can let it go?" Let it go."
Lin Qiaoyue, who was on the beam, finally understood the meaning at this moment.
It turned out that those disappeared souls, the main soul of Hu Biao and the dozen or so people, were actually captured by these weirdos and imprisoned in the forbidden area they said.
It seems that the old man did not lie to me, Lin Qiaoyue thought to herself.
The quarrel below continues.
"Clan leader, I think Su Sanniang is not from Chenjiagou."
"People like this have probably never regarded Chenjiagou as their hometown."
"Su Sanniang is an outsider, and the clan leader should have driven her out of Chenjiagou long ago."
"Yes, Patriarch, I think we should put her in a forbidden area and kill her as a warning to others."
"Yes, yes, Su Sanniang almost ruined a major event for her clan. Even if she was cut into pieces, it would be difficult to offset her sin."
Through eavesdropping on the beam, Lin Qiaoyue finally understood why the previous woman asked her for help.
It is estimated that she has noticed the difference in herself a long time ago, and she may have noticed her purpose when she saw herself.
Lin Qiaoyue secretly patted her cheek, blaming herself for being too suspicious. This was clearly a rare ally.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Fortunately, it's not too late, and it's not difficult to save this woman now.
Lin Qiaoyue scanned the room carefully and finally determined the identities of the men in black.
Every figure hidden under black clothes is actually a dead soul.
Thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid that the place called Chenjiagou that I entered is completely a ghost town, and may not even exist in the real world at all.
As for how she got here, she couldn't tell.
These souls under the black robes were not difficult to deal with given Lin Qiaoyue's cultivation at the lower level of the realm of destiny.
But the old ghost sitting in the front seat had an unfathomable feeling all over his body.
For the second time since going down the mountain, Lin Qiaoyue felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
As for the first time, it was naturally Montenegro.
Lin Qiaoyue frowned slightly and looked at the old man.
The old man's aura was very mysterious, and there was a layer of strange black energy condensed on his body.
Lin Qiaoyue just glanced briefly, saw the old man in the hall, and slapped the stone chair under her.
His eyes were like two lightning bolts, shooting towards her position.
Lin Qiaoyue, as a demon clan, has the most sensitive senses. She sensed something was wrong as soon as the other party looked at her.
At that moment, the sword took a wrong turn and jumped off the beam. With a sweep of the long sword from behind, dozens of ghosts in black robes disappeared in an instant. Then he reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist, dragging her out of the hall. go.
She knew in her heart that she was definitely no match for that old ghost in a head-on confrontation...
