"Miss Su Su, we met by chance, I actually do not wish to implicate you in many matters. I am alone in this world, and I know my own life and death, that no one will care about my life, that no one will be sad about my death, that is all." Shuo Yue laughed bitterly.
"What nonsense are you saying!"
My voice stunned everyone present. Shuo Yue suddenly raised her head and looked at me.
"Say that no one cares about you, why isn't there anyone?" Back then Master Jun, if it wasn't for your safety, wouldhe have gone to Fengdu Ghost City to rescue you all by himself? Miss Ruo Yun, if she wasn't concerned about you, would she have saved you without caring about the opinions of others? And, and, we, we are all very concerned about you, don't you know? "
Hearing this, Shuo Yue seemed to be stunned. He did not expect that I would say these words, he had sealed her heart away for too long, or it could be said that he did not believe in this world for too long.
"So, for those who care about you, live well." Zhang Ziyuan actually supported him with a godly attack.
After being stunned for a long time, Shuo Yue laughed: "I know, I will live on, but, I cannot not go on this trip."
Indeed, no matter the reason or the reason, Shuo Yue had to go on this trip, because the one she was going to see was his mother. No one had the right to stop him, but …
"How about this, I promise you that I'll only go to this place. When everything is settled, I'll take a good rest, okay?" Shuo Yue discussed with us.
In reality, in my heart, I felt that this matter wasn't that simple. After all, the Ghost King was showing signs of reviving, and with the various situations in the Misty Forest as well as the awakening of the thousand-year-old ghost wolf, I don't believe that this was all a coincidence. If the Princess of Fengdu was still on the same side as the Ghost King, would they let Shuo Yue, who betrayed them and destroyed the ghost lamp Tower go?
What if this was a trap? Isn't Shuo Yue equivalent to walking into a trap? Although the words did not seem good on the surface, Shuo Yue was afraid that Shuo Yue thought so too. It was just that the other party was her own mother, and she could not reject her.
"Fine, then you have to promise us that we will go with you. What should we do?" I made this decision almost without consulting the others.
Shuo Yue probably did not think that I would make such a decision, "Honestly speaking, I really do not want to implicate you all. Although Fengdu Ghost City is already a ruin, there are still many dangerous things inside.
Zhang Shaowu expressed his opinion at this time: "You also know that you have fallen into a trap? Since we know that the current Fengdu Ghost City is very dangerous, how can we be at ease if you go alone? Su Su was right, my good friends should live and die together. You made a sacrifice for us to defeat thousand-year-old ghost wolf, so we can't care about you if something happens to you? Are we such heartless people? "
So Zhang Shaowu also had the same attitude, then I can relax.
Shuo Yue was silent for a long while, before finally nodding: "I understand, thank you all. In order to take care of my friends, I will not give up my life. "Fine, we'll go together and look after each other."
"Then where exactly is this Fengdu Ghost City?"
"Actually, the so-called Fengdu is not a place that is far away from the mortal world as you imagine. He is not really a city. It is also only a desolate mountain and wilderness, a mirage of existences, but ordinary people can't see it, and only by using a special method can one open the Fengdu Ghost City. " Shuo Yue explained.
So that's how it is. Can we see the Fengdu then? I feel like it's a very fantasy place.
"Actually, the Fengdu was originally just a door to hell, the so-called gate to hell is the path that leads to hell after a person dies. Ordinary people who die normally without any grievances would get a special pass with the words' The son of the Fengdu sends a road to hell 'written on it. Only with this pass can they pass through the gates to hell, pass through the famous bridge, drink Grandma Meng's Elixir, and finally enter the Five Cloud Cave, or go down to the eighteenth level of hell, or reincarnate." Back then, the Ghost King only constructed this Ghost King on the basis of the gates of hell. The significance of it was that there would always be evil spirits that would pass through that place, and that way, his power would grow greater and greater. If you go with me, Miss Su Su will understand what kind of existence the Fengdu is. "
After Shuo Yue's injuries were more or less healed, we made preparations to go to the Fengdu. We felt that this was a very dangerous risk, and according to Zhang Ziyuan, even the Misty Forest was not as dangerous as 1% of the time.
"Zhang Ziyuan, I feel that this matter is a trap in the first place," I told Zhang Ziyuan about my plan in private.
"Sigh, it's obvious, because whether it's about your Spiritual Energy being sealed or the awakening of thousand-year-old ghost wolf, there shouldn't be no one who would interfere. Everyone probably knows that this person is a ghost, after all, that was the person who escaped from Fengdu Ghost City all those years ago. I also don't believe that this princess calling Shuo Yue is just for the sake of mother and son to be reunited. " Zhang Ziyuan originally thought the same as me.
"Then what do we do, if Shuo Yue brings us to the Fengdu Ghost City, will she be in danger?"
Zhang Ziyuan sighed: "There's no other way, we'll just have to take it step by step. If we completely ignore Shuo Yue and let him go, we won't be able to let him go, right?"
"Is there no way to do it both ways?" I thought.
Zhang Ziyuan looked at me: "What are you thinking about now?"
I whispered a few words into Zhang Ziyuan's ear while lying down. Zhang Ziyuan smiled and nodded. I don't think I'm a ghost, but you're a ghost! "
Shuo Yue really brought us to a barren mountain and wilderness. She really flew for a period of time on a plane, then went back to the train and went back to the car. We're probably very far from where we're supposed to be, right? However, it was understandable. If the Fengdu Ghost City was too close to the group of people, it would be very inconvenient, and it would be very troublesome if someone tried to barge into the Ghost City.
"Um, logically speaking, Fengdu Ghost City should be a very big place, why didn't I see anything?" I looked around. It was indeed just a desolate mountain range.
"Miss Su Su, don't be anxious." Shuo Yue carefully surveyed the terrain, as though she had finally found the right place, and formed a seal with her hands, muttering some words. Finally, she shouted, "Break!" It was as if the enchantments around him had been dispersed, revealing a huge city gate.
"Damn, it's so magical! There really is a city here!" I shouted again, unaware.
With another unsealing motion, the city gates slowly opened, revealing a sinister looking city.
"Let's go in. There shouldn't be any living creatures inside." Shuo Yue pointed to the door and said.
I carefully looked at the inside of the door. It really did feel like a different world from the outside. The inside was more like a village than a city. There were also buildings inside, but they were surrounded by dense fog, making it hard to see everything clearly.
As we walked in, the strange feeling became even more intense. Although there weren't any living creatures inside, we could still imagine the time when the Ghost King still existed and ruled over this place.
The sky above Ghost City seemed to be covered in dark clouds and there was no sunlight to shine on it. The air was also humid and it felt like people would get eczema after a while.
Shuo Yue explained: "Actually, the so-called Ghost City is actually just an illusion formed by the ghosts and souls that never disperse. It is originally not a physical city, but only an illusion created by them, and the Ghost King basically materialized this illusion as a base for their ambitions. But after the Ghost King went missing with heavy injuries, the Ghost City became ethereal again, and it is still an illusion now. Although there will still be ghosts that will pass through like this, they are mostly there to be reincarnated into the Yin Division through the gates of hell. "
This world is really too large, is it not? Listening to Shuo Yue's words, this city is no different from a mirage?
After passing by some buildings that looked like residential areas, there was actually a palace that was even more imposing than the Great Hall of the Lingyin Temple. On the giant plaque was written with the words "Sky Emperor's Treasure Hall".
"Mother said she lives here now and misses me every day." Shuo Yue looked at the palace, and could tell that he really wanted to see her mother. Although this mother had abandoned him since she was young, Shuo Yue did not resent her, but instead cherished the fact that she could always be with her mother.
"Just wait for me outside. I don't think it will be peaceful inside." Shuo Yue stammered.
"You know it's not peaceful in here? Then you dare to go in by yourself? If something happens, we won't be able to come to your aid. " What Zhang Shaowu said was the truth.
"I know that as well, but I really don't want to implicate you. Besides, she is my mother after all. Even if she wants my life, I can't not give it to her." Shuo Yue shook her head.
"What nonsense are you saying? Stop fooling around, Miss Ruo Yun is still waiting for you to return, don't let her down! " Right now, he could only lay Jiang Ruoyun out so that Shuo Yue would have some will to survive. If even he himself didn't care whether he lived or died, then no one could save him.
"I understand, you have done a lot. Lady Su Su, you are a good girl." With that, Shuo Yue turned and walked into the Sky Emperor's Grimoire.
"Hey, what should I do?" I was worried.
"I'll just follow him," Zhang Ziyuan said to me and Zhang Shaowu.
"Ah?" Why are you following him? Will they be discovered? " I looked at Zhang Ziyuan's expression in surprise. I didn't feel like he was joking.
Zhang Ziyuan took out an item and handed it over to me. "Put it on my ear."
I took it. It looked like a headset, but it had a strange shape. I followed his instructions and put it on my ear. How could a ghost like you make such a high-tech thing? "
"This is not a high-tech item, this is a treasure called Wind Catching Ear. This thing was originally a pair. No matter how far away they were, they could send each other a message, just like the phones we use today. However, this thing can only be transmitted between two of our Wind Catching Ears. Later I will secretly follow. I have a spirit body and can hide my body, so they shouldn't be able to discover me. "
He never thought that Zhang Ziyuan had such a meticulous side to him. He probably had thought about it for a long time, "This is a good idea! But you have to be careful too. "
"Hmm, no problem. Although you guys are not going in, you can listen for any movements inside. If there are any problems, you can go in immediately to welcome them."
