It was getting late, and the skull-white walls glowed with a hazy halo.
A group of five people walked around the city wall for a long time before arriving at the entrance to the north gate.
Cheng Yuan compared the map scroll and looked at the scenery inside the north entrance.
What catches the eye are still the broken eaves and broken walls, but the difference is that these stone rubbles are covered with a thin layer of green.
"What is that?" Lin Jialuo stepped forward, and just as he was about to cross the city gate, he was pulled back by Ji Qiuyu.
"Can't we go in now?"
Lin Jialuo was puzzled: "What's wrong? If you don't go in, it will get dark. After dark, it will be much more dangerous outside than during the day."
"Baisha Castle is very particular about entering the city." Ji Qiuyu leaned down and placed her black turtle on the white sand.
Xuangui shrank his head in an instant and refused to come out no matter how she greeted him.
"What's the point?" Lin Jialuo asked.
"There has always been a rule for entering the city in Baisha Castle. Open the east gate at Chen time, the south gate at noon, enter the west gate at You time, and pass through the north gate at Zi time. We are standing outside the north gate now, and we should enter at Zi time."
Lin Jialuo said: "The city is broken, why do you still care about breaking the rules?"
"This is wrong. The city is not broken until the wall falls down!"
"who!"
The five people looked around, but found no trace of anyone. They all gathered in a circle and looked around cautiously.
"Jie, Jie, Jie, little devil, what are you afraid of? We don't eat people either." The voice was much rougher this time.
Everyone immediately looked around and saw two skulls hanging above their heads with red light in their eye sockets.
"Ah! Ghost!"
Lin Jialuo's legs trembled and he almost fell to his knees.
Others are not much better. Who knew that even skulls could talk these days.
Cheng Yan looked intently and found a faint gray mist exuding from the two skulls.
"It's the remnant soul!"
"The Taoist soul is fine, but don't say it's disabled." The skull on the left said in a serious tone.
Not so with the one on the right: "Jiejie, at last this kid has some knowledge."
"I wonder who these two seniors are? Why are they here?"
He was called senior because Cheng Yan felt that the aura of these two remnant souls came from the same lineage as this city, or that they should have been from Baisha Castle during their lifetime.
"Want to know?" said the skull on the right.
Cheng Yan nodded.
Lin Jialuo shook his head and looked at Yu Zimao.
Otherwise, they run away first as a sign of respect?
"It's a long story. I've been hungry for too long and I don't have the energy to speak - we have to eat before we can talk!" The skull opened its mouth wide and fell towards them at a high speed.
Several people retreated together.
But he saw Cheng Yuan stepping forward to greet him without saying a word.
"Ayun, be careful!"
Ji Qiuyu woke up the turtle and was about to step forward, but was stunned by the next scene.
But Cheng Yan took out a handful of spirit stones from a storage bag and threw them, hitting the skull in the big mouth.
The skull's mouth closes and bites up and down, making a 'click, click' sound.
After a while, all the spiritual stones were eaten.
In Cheng Yan's eyes, the thin layer of gray mist became much thicker.
"tasty!"
Cheng Yan followed suit and stuffed it with another handful.
One is feeding and the other is eating. This scene is surprisingly harmonious.
"Ah this -" Lin Jialuo glanced at the very 'reserved' skull above.
"Senior, how about you take some too?" Lin Jialuo tentatively took out a handful of spiritual stones.
"It's disrespectful."
As expected, the skull on the left also flew down, but it ate much more gracefully. It opened its mouth wide and sucked all the stones into the skull without making any chewing sounds.
The more spiritual stones he fed, and when Cheng Yan's face turned darker and darker, the skull finally burped.
"I haven't had such a feast for a long time." The skull yawned and flew back to the city gate.
The other one soon returned to its place.
"Two seniors, can we talk now?"
"Hey, you are soft-spoken when you eat people, but you are short-handed when taking advantage of others. While it is still early, I will tell you about it." The skull on the right had a red light in its eyes.
"The old man's name was Gong when he was alive. What does Gong mean?"
The skeleton on the left said: "Gong Shan."
"Oh, Jiejie, I know you still remember." Gongshan laughed strangely: "Unlike me, no one even remembers your last name."
"When you died, your head fell to the ground and was smashed."
"Hey, you old man, haven't you been pierced by thousands of arrows?"
"You're already dead, how do you know?"
"Hey? That's right, how did the old man know? Who told me that it was that boy last time? What was that boy's name? I don't remember... Oops, why don't you remember?"
Gongshan let out a roar of pain, and then just kept struggling with this problem, constantly asking who that kid was.
The skull on the left sighed: "Ignore him. His brain is not good and he won't get better for a while. I'll let you know."
Hearing this, Cheng Yuan and others felt inexplicably sad, but with just a few words, they could already get a glimpse of the tragic war situation that year.
Several people sat back-to-back under the city gate, taking some time to pay attention to the surroundings.
"I, Taoist Yangchun, have been one of the guards of Baisha Castle. Together with Gong Shan, I have been guarding the north gate of Baisha Castle for five hundred years.
Died in that battle.
But I don’t know why our remnant soul is still on this head.
By the time the two of us woke up, the city had long been reduced to ruins.
As the sun rises and sets, I have been with Gong Shan for hundreds of years. At first, I could wander around and absorb some spiritual energy in the city, but later I could only maintain the status quo and plunder some spiritual objects from the monks who passed by.
The kid Gong Shan was talking about was a young man who was hunted everywhere three hundred years ago. On a whim, the two of us took him to hide deep in the ruins and avoid disaster. Before that kid left, he left all his spiritual belongings to us.
Three hundred years have passed like this, and if you don't come, I and Gong Shan probably won't be able to see the sun for a few more days. "
After learning the story of these two city gate guards, Ji Qiuyu said: "Senior Yangchun, are there really only two people with residual souls left in this entire city?
There are so many heads on this whole white wall...so many seniors. "
"Maybe there is, but I have never met before." Taoist Yangchun said quietly.
Cheng Yuanchi asked: "I wonder what the two seniors were like during their lifetimes?"
"I have just broken through the golden elixir, he said it is in the middle stage of the golden elixir."
Lin Jialuo took a breath of cold air: "Thousands of years ago, the guards of the West Pole had to be in the Golden Core realm? Now a foundation-building monk can become a city patrol guard."
"That's not the case. I remember that there were often wars in those years, so I asked the Jindan cultivator to act as a guard to be on guard at all times."
"What kind of war caused the destruction of Baisha City?" Yan Chu asked aloud.
"Thousands of years have passed. Why do you, a little girl, still care about this?"
Ji Qiuyu on the side replied: "She is the young city lord of my Xianqi Sect."
"Young City Lord, no wonder, no wonder, you can rest assured that the culprit back then has been killed by me, the City Lord, at the cost of self-destructing his soul.
As for what you want to know, when you enter the child, enter by yourself. Whether you can find the answer you want depends on your own ability. "
Regarding other matters in the city, the city guard still adheres to the principle of not revealing anything. .
