C168 The Secret of Zimo

"What? We're so unlucky? Are we not going?" I felt like the end of the world was approaching.

"Yeah, probably." Qi Mo solemnly nodded his head.

"Then what do we do? When we go back, Bai Jing will eat me." I shivered.

"Then why are you still talking about it? You're just a beauty. Hungry, but your three brothers will flay you. I'm worse than you, okay? " Qi Mo said with a sad face.

"Aren't those guards very respectful to you? If you go to the city gate and shout out, will you open the gate for us?" I said expectantly.

Do you know who the boss of those soldiers is? Even your fourth brother is a weak person, so I am very respectful during the day. At night, there is a rule that even princes are not allowed to enter.

"Then what do we do? I said I'm his sister." I asked tentatively.

"That's even worse. Tell me, your Fourth and Fifth Brothers are commanders of the military. If your own soldiers find out that they can't even stand in front of their own sister, then how can they build up their prestige in the military?"

"That's true. If Fourth Brother lets me in because of this, that'll be harming him. What should we do then? We can only stay here for the night." I looked around and felt the cool wind. It was too cold.

"Otherwise, let's take advantage of the light and find a place where we can spend the night. Tomorrow, we can only resign ourselves to fate." Qi Mo sighed, his tone filled with helplessness.

Qi Mo and I listlessly walked back while leading his horse. The figure of his back which I saw from behind me was indescribably desolate; I inexplicably thought of that ancient poem, the west wind thin horse, although this horse wasn't affected at all.

"Little Star, there's light over there. Look, let's take a look inside the house. Maybe someone else is trapped outside the city like us. Let's go and greet our big brother." Qi Mo suddenly turned his head in excitement and pointed to a distant blue light that was faintly discernable deep in the forest.

Without waiting for my reply, Qi Mo had already ran over with dancing hands and feet. I had been following behind him, but I kept feeling that there was something strange about that direction, that we were walking further and further into the light, that there were dense leaves all over our heads, and that we could only vaguely see the shadow of the moon. Surrounding us were all huge trees of the sky, and when we stepped on the withered leaves on the ground, creaking sounds would emit from them.

The ball of fire always felt close and far away from us, and at last I felt something was wrong, we should have gotten there so early, just as we had seen it, but the ball of fire always seemed so far away from us that it seemed to move a little, and I didn't even look at it, it was not the right color, it was blue and a little green, and there was only one thought that flashed through my mind: It's a ghost fire.

I began to feel uneasy. If it was just a ghost fire, then it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, it wouldn't be a surprise if there was a ghost fire wherever a dead person was buried. My intuition told me there was danger in going on.

I immediately pulled Qi Mo, who had a strange expression on his face, and looked back at me, "Didn't you notice that something was wrong?" I asked him.

"What's wrong?" Qi Mo's face was filled with the desire to know.

"That's the Ghost Flame." I pointed to the goal we had been pursuing.

After Qi Mo heard it, he immediately turned back to take a look. In the end, we saw where the ghost flames were, and our surroundings became pitch-black. The visibility in the forest just now was still higher, and now, I could only see my closest opponent, Qi Mo.

Qi Mo also felt that something was amiss, the two of us looked at each other. At this moment, I smelt a strange smell and a fishy stench assaulted my nose. I subconsciously covered my nose, and the alarm in my heart rang.

"What is this smell? It's so stinky! Pah! Pah! Pah!" Qi Mo spat a few times as he spoke, but the moment he did not have the air of an elegant gentleman.

"The smell of the dead." I said slowly.

Qi Mo immediately stopped his movements upon hearing it, then subconsciously hid behind me and stuck his head out. I looked at him with disdain. "Big brother, you are a man. Can you be a little manly?"

"To tell you the truth, ever since I was young, I wasn't afraid of pain or death. However, I was afraid of ghosts." Qi Mo said awkwardly.

"Didn't you always mock me? Why do you believe that there is such a thing in this world?" I asked him, amused.

"Actually, I have a secret that I haven't told anyone, including Bai Jing. Actually, I can see ghosts." Qi Mo pulled on my sleeve, his eyes somewhat dim.

"What?" I was surprised.

"When I was young, I was fearless of everything, and even at that time, I had parents that loved me dearly. I knew that one day, I saw my parents die in front of me, and when I saw them die, I was scared silly. After sitting next to their corpses for a day, Ou Wen saw my parents come back to life, but they were transparent. But I still don't dare to go to bed at night. I'm going to light the whole room with candles, and the whole room is bright, so I can be at ease. " Qi Mo said with a painful expression on his face. Perhaps he had recalled the most helpless and terrifying time.

I was momentarily at a loss for words. The main reason was because the amount of information was too great. I had a strange feeling in my heart. I always felt that I was familiar with this person. Suddenly, I thought of him.

central ghost emperor Zhou Qi, didn't he split his soul apart during his tribulation? One of the soul fragments also had a Yin Yang Eye, which returned to its original form later on.

I looked at Qi Mo with suspicion. Could it be that he was also the reincarnation of that unreliable Ghost Emperor, and if it really was so, then this Ghost Emperor really has a problem with his character. He has always been such a strange and pitiful reincarnated person.
