Invite moon city.
Six days ago, Nangong Qi and Nangong Yan parted ways. They came to invite moon city, and Nangong Yan and the three of them rushed to the border overnight.
As soon as Nangong Qi and Bai Ranqing entered the moon city, they found that there was something wrong in the city. There were only a few people in the street. The doors of every family were closed. Occasionally, when someone saw Nangong Qi passing by, they also closed the doors quickly, and their faces showed that they were very afraid.
"What's the matter with them? What happened?" Bai Ranqing finally saw an old man sweeping the street and hurriedly asked, "Sir, I'm from other places and want to ask you something."
The boss turned a deaf ear and swept his land.
Bai Ranqing sees that he ignores him and is going to ask, but Nangong Qi grabs her and shakes her head.
Nangong Qi stood in front of uncle, and uncle reacted.
Nangong Qi drew words on uncle's palm. At this time, Bai ran Qing realized that uncle couldn't hear.
When Nangong Qi finished writing, the uncle said, "you asked me what happened to the invited moon city? You must have come from other places. You'd better go quickly. The invited moon city can't stay."
It seems that something really happened in the city. Did the hell hall get here before us?
Nangong Qi continued to draw on his hand. The old man shook his head and said, "there are no outsiders in the city recently, but a strange disease broke out in the city not long ago, and many people died. Many people have fled. If you don't want to be infected with this strange disease, you'd better go quickly."
Strange disease? What strange disease? Bai ran Qing has a bad feeling when she looks at the empty street. If only sister Xue were here.
The floor sweeper picked up his own guy and was about to go back. Bai Ranqing suddenly stopped him.
"Little girl, do you have anything else?"
Bai Ranqing imitates Nangong Qi's appearance and writes on his hand.
——Sir, can you tell me where diemeng villa is?
Who knows, the uncle trembled when he saw the four words of diemeng villa and couldn't hide his fear in his eyes: "you're going to diemeng villa. I advise you not to go. That's not a good place."
It turned out that the location of the outbreak of the strange disease was diemeng villa. Then the disease spread around and spread to the people in the city.
Seeing Bai Ranqing, they insisted on going. Uncle had no choice but to point them in a direction.
"Just follow this direction. That place is too evil. I dare not take you. And I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Why bother to bury your life here."
The floor sweeper left and muttered as he walked: "Why are young people so reluctant now? It's too late for others to escape, and he's eager to die."
Bai Ranqing is worried. Is diemeng villa really as evil as uncle said?
Nangong Qi firmly held her hand: "Qingqing, don't be afraid, I'm here."
They walked all the way along the direction indicated by the uncle. The street was full of paper money for the dead. White soul calling flags were hung on the door frames of many homes. It seems that there were funerals at home recently.
"Brother Qi, it seems that many people have really died here recently." Bai ran Qing looked around and there was a strange atmosphere everywhere.
Nangong Qi also felt that the rumored moon city was very lively and prosperous, but now it is like an empty city, dead.
But anyway, he and Qingqing have to go to diemeng villa to get the treasure map back, otherwise there will be another fierce battle when the people in Yanluo hall come.
They went to diemeng villa. The door of the house was closed. A child was sitting next to the stone lion at the door, shaking a rattle drum and reading a nursery rhyme: "people in the mountain have a deep fog. In the dream, tea flowers and blood are cultivated. The girl picked them and put them on her temples. In the bridegroom's room, there are soul worship flags."
Bai ran Qing is frowning. What nursery rhyme is this? How can it make people so creepy.
Nangong Qi walked over. He squatted down and said to the child, "everyone has gone home. What are you doing here alone?"
The child bowed his head and said softly, "I have no home."
Hearing that the child said she had no home, Bai ran Qing suddenly felt pity. She gently asked, "what about your family?"
"They're all dead." the child looked down and played with the rattle. It seemed naive and lively, but it was cool from head to foot.
When the child looked up, she was startled. The child's face was full of blood and his eyes were staring at the boss. It looked like an evil ghost climbing out of hell.
Bai Ranqing hid behind Nangong Qi, but the child was still playing the rattle very naive and showed a smile from time to time.
Bai Ranqing suddenly felt sad. I'm afraid he can't really understand what death is in this child's world. Maybe he thought his parents had just gone a long way. No matter how far the road is, he will come back.
Thinking of this, Bai ran Qing suddenly didn't feel afraid. She took out her handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood on her face for the child: "what nursery rhyme did you sing just now?"
The child shook his head and said, "Grandpa taught me."
Hearing children say this, Bai Ranqing suddenly doesn't understand. It's too bloody for grandpa to call children such a nursery rhyme.
"Children, go home quickly. You see, there is no one on the street. They all go home. It's dangerous for you to stay here, so you have to go home quickly, you know?"
The child shook the rattle and walked away, reading the nursery rhyme while walking. Bai ran Qing got goose bumps all over when she heard it.
"How did this man become a grandfather and teach children such nursery rhymes?"
Nangong Qi can't make it clear. Maybe this grandpa has a strong taste.
Nangong Qi went to knock on the door. After knocking for a long time, a servant came to open the door.
The man opened the house and muttered: "what knock, what knock, hurry?"
The servant looked at Nangong Qi impatiently: "who are you looking for?"
"We have come here specially to see the villa leader."
Hearing that the two men came to see the villa leader, the servant quickly closed the door. Fortunately, Nangong Qi pushed the house door with his hand quickly. He asked, "what does this mean?"
"Let's go, let's go! The villa leader is closing the door these days, and no one can be seen!" the servant was about to close the door, but Nangong Qi resisted and couldn't close it.
"Just be kind. Let's go in and meet the villa leader!"
Nangong Qi said this, but the servant didn't appreciate it at all: "what did you report when you were let go? It said that the villa leader is missing. Where did you get so much nonsense!"
Nangong Qi looked back at Bai Ranqing, and the sword eyebrow was light. It seems that if it is soft, it can only be hard!
Bai ran Qing understood and immediately came forward and kicked the door open!
The servant fell firmly and ate the mud. Looking at the Nangong Qi two people who broke in, his eyes showed a look of fear.
"You, what are you going to do?" the man trembled and couldn't speak quickly.
Nangong Qi smiled very gently and politely: "I told you just now that we just came to see the villa leader. But you have been unwilling to make it convenient, so we have to open the door ourselves."
"Presumptuous! Who dares to intrude into diemeng villa!" a roar came from a distance. It was ah Zui, the housekeeper of diemeng villa.
A Zui walked to Nangong Qi and looked murderous: "what are you doing to make you dare to break into diemeng villa without permission? You know the crime of breaking into the villa without permission is not small."
Nangong Qi still looked at him lightly: "next to Nangong Qi is my wife. This time we came all the way just to meet the villa leader."
Ah Zui said coldly, "my villa leader hasn't seen anyone in the retreat recently. Please go back!"
Bai Ranqing stepped forward and revealed the totem mark on ah Zui's wrist: "can't you see your villa master?"
After seeing the mark on Bai Ranqing's hand, ah Zui flashed a trace of surprise: "who are you?"
Bai Ranqing answered softly, "naturally we should come. After asking your villa leader, she will know whether to see or not. It depends on her choice."
Ah Zui thought for a while, and finally said to Nangong Qi, "come with me."
Nangong Qi and Bai Ranqing follow ah Zui to see Hu Yilan, but when they arrive at Hu Yilan's residence, they find that she has already passed out.
"What's going on?" Nangong Qi looked at Hu Yilan, who was closed in bed, and suddenly thought of something in his heart. "Is the villa leader also suffering from the strange disease in the city?"
Ah Zui nodded and said with a heavy voice, "everything was fine. But a month ago, a strange disease broke out in the city, and the doctors were helpless. The people in the city died and fled. Unexpectedly, the villa leader was poisoned like this."
Bai Ranqing is very surprised. Hu Yilan has been lying in bed for nearly a month.
Nangong Qi thought: "can you tell me exactly what kind of strange disease it is?"
Ah Zui replied, "people with strange diseases will fall into deep sleep during the day and can't wake anyone up. At night, they will go out of the house and unconsciously..." ah Zui paused a little.
"What is unconscious?" Nangong Qi asked.
A drunk sighed: "people who get sick will unconsciously fight or even kill others at night."
"Isn't there many people in this city..." it seems that Bai Ranqing has thought of the worst result first.
"That's right. There are many people in this city. In fact, the villa leader killed them unconsciously."
Nangong Qi's face is dignified. It seems that the matter this time is more difficult than he imagined.
