Treasure Hunt

The two walked together for a long time before the man said softly: "Probably... because there is a wish."

When the voice fell, Nan Ci was about to speak again, but was interrupted by a smart voice.

"My lord, this young master looks very unfamiliar." The boat had quietly approached the river bank, and a young woman sitting on the bow with a pipa in her hand said.

Bai Yang glanced at Nan Ci beside him, and said, "He's new."

The woman's eyes and lips lightly smiled, and a burst of melodious laughter like silver bells made Nan Ci frown unconsciously.

"My lord, to meet is a fate, my lord, would you like to go into the boat and renew your good relationship with the little girl?" The woman winked, and her voice was ecstatic.

Nanci glanced at the man in white beside him, and saw that the latter didn't seem to be planning to help him out, so he turned his head, looked at the woman at the bow, and said, "My love, I still have important things to do, sorry I will not accompany you."

The woman said: "Young master, don't worry, how about I play a song for you?" After finishing speaking, the woman was sitting on the bow of the boat, and was about to pluck the string, but was interrupted by a finger force.

The woman looked at the source of the force with aggrieved eyes, and said, "What does this mean, Lord City Master? Breaking the piano of the servant's house."

Bai Yang turned a blind eye to the coquettishness of the woman in front of him, and still said coldly: "He is not someone you can mess with."

Although the woman was aggrieved, she didn't dare to disobey the man in white's order, she curled her lips and turned into the boat.The boat turned around and sailed away slowly, as if the air was still filled with the fragrance of makeup and powder left by the boat as it passed by, people couldn't help but imagine how happy and happy the people in the boat were.

Nan Ci looked at the ship that was drifting away, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Bai, for the rescue."

Bai Yang said: "When did I save you?"

Nan Ci said: "Only just now, if I guessed correctly, as soon as the woman just started playing and the sound of the piano hits my ears, I will lose my mind. And she," Nan Ci smiled, but his words were cold: "She will kill me."

Bai Yang glanced at Nanci, and said, "Would the dignified demon die so easily?"

Nan Ci said: "This city is not just Fengdu City, is it?"

"How do you know?" Bai Yang asked.

Nan Ci said: "It also has an alias, or in other words, the other is its real name: "City of Death. "

Sensing that the man in white beside him fell silent, Nanci knew he had guessed right.

Fengdu City is known as the "City of Death in Vain". The ghosts here all died in vain before they were alive, with a lot of resentment.They don't want to be reincarnated and reincarnated.They gathered here to destroy the later ghosts.As long as you get lost in the city of death in vain, you will definitely die here, your spiritual energy will dissipate, and your soul will sink into the river.By the river in the city, there is a gorgeous fragrance of makeup and powder everywhere, how many people's souls' spiritual energy is mixed in it?no one knows.

Fengdu City is a city of bliss, but also a city of death in vain.The people in the city were all hard-working Li people, or dedicated civil servants and military generals.After death, they still stayed here obediently, but the breeding of resentment cannot be wiped out, and the seeds of hatred are difficult to eradicate.They killed batch after batch of people who fell into their trap.Such people must be similar to those who killed them.

Just like the singing girl just now, the person who killed her must be a sanctimonious womanizer.Under the guise of listening to Qu'er, he killed the woman.Therefore, when she was in the city of vain death, any subsequent lechers would definitely die on her boat.

After a long time, Nanci felt that he had walked a long way and saw many scenes, but he didn't feel tired.Nanci guessed that maybe this is because this is a land boundary, which cannot be calculated according to the time of the human world.

The two walked all the way, and neither of them spoke anymore. Since Nan Ci already knew that this place is the way to survive, then there is nothing here that can threaten him, and from what happened just now, it is not difficult to see that this Lord Bai had no ill intentions towards him.However, Nan Ci still dare not be careless, after all, it is not his own territory, and if there is no malice, it can only be said that there is no malice for the time being.Who can guarantee that the man in white in front of him is reliable?

After a long time, Bai Yang brought him to a gate, turned around and said to him: "Go out through this gate, and you will leave the city."

Nan Ci was taken aback: "What about you?"

Bai Yang nodded and said, "My task has been completed." After speaking, he left without looking back.

Nan Ci was a little helpless, remembering when they first met, what did this man say?He said politely that he was ordered to take Nanci to visit the boundary.

Now it seems that he does not seem to be leading people to visit, but rather to prevent Nanci from causing trouble in the city.Nanci shook his head helplessly, pushed open the door and walked out.

It is bright outside, the green hills are faint, and the green water is gurgling.It seems that the melodious scene of music and flute was just a phantom last night, and now it is already dawn.

There is no sun in the sky, and there is no clear blue sky and white clouds, but it is bright.You can see the green pines standing on the cliff in the distance, and you can also see the crystal clear stream at your feet.

Nanci was amazed that with only one door gap, he could go from a happy place in the dark night to green water and green mountains now.

Nan Ci was not surprised, after all, this is a boundary, and he couldn't explain what he saw with ordinary thinking.The Emperor of the Underworld is best at creating illusions.

According to legend, among the Three Realms, there are many palaces in the heavenly realm, which are magnificent and dignified.The human world is vast and abundant, with beautiful scenery.The seasons are different.Only the land is hidden in the abyss, dormant in the darkness, can't see the sun, can't see the light.Thousands of ghosts are howling, like purgatory.

However, the ancient Emperor of the Underworld relied on his powerful spiritual power to create a prosperous capital city, beautiful mountains and rivers, high-hanging stands, and magnificent palaces...

Gradually, the earth realm also spawned a ruling organization similar to the human realm and the heaven realm.

The bustling capital city is called "Fengdu City", also known as "Wonder City".The city of bliss, the city of extravagance.

The beautiful landscape is called "Sixiang Ridge".It is a place where ghosts look back at the world for a lifetime.This ridge passes, don't live in the world.

The high-hanging stand means: "Evil mirror stand", hanging to the east, the stand is one foot high, and the mirror is ten circles wide.There are seven characters on the upper horizontal line-there are no good people in front of the evil mirror.

The magnificent palace, the land of the three divisions.The Department of Yin Law, the Department of Rewarding the Good, and the Department of Punishment of the Evil, the three departments obey the orders of the ghost judge.

The ghost-faced judge, holding the book of life and death in his left hand, and the soul-hunting pen in his right hand, are designed to prolong the life of the good and break the evil of the evil.Every ghost who wants to be reincarnated must go through rewarding good and punishing evil, and then cross the river and forget the river, enter the six realms, and be reborn.

However, due to the arbitrariness of the original Emperor of the Underworld, he violated the wishes of the world.Although it has benefited all ghosts, after all, one will ebb and flow, and the land boundary will become orderly, while the original unbearable, ugly, and dark places will be left in two places.One is the land of the dead, called nothingness, and the other is the sea of ​​living souls, called purgatory.

The land of the dead is lonely, empty, lifeless, and unchanged from time immemorial.

The land of living spirits is terrifying and gloomy, with thousands of ghosts howling, never returning.

Nan Ci remembered that the fire seed of Chi You's descendants, the purgatory fire, was named after it.Because Chiyou, the demon god, was the first person who broke through the sea of ​​living spirits in purgatory, got the fire of nothingness, and was able to escape completely.He is also the only one who crosses the Three Realms, who is both a demon and a god.

Nan Ci put away his thoughts and looked at the mountains and rivers in front of him. Homesick Ridge, although it was called Homesick Ridge, was an opportunity for ghosts to return to the human world to have a look before crossing the Ridge.The return of ghosts to the human world is what people often call the "first seven". Folks believe that the first seven souls will return after death. Although it is a superstition, it is also well-founded.

Homesick Ridge, back home.

Nanci chuckled, when did he ever have a hometown?My own memory still begins when I was picked up by Taoist Lu Chen back to the mountain. At that time, I had nothing but the bone-biting fire poison.Lu Chen took him back to the mountain and taught him martial arts and medical skills.But it never helped him suppress the fire poison.Nan Ci felt that, apart from Jiang Yu, there was nothing worth cherishing in his memory.This level, inevitably superfluous.

Thinking of this, Nan Ci just wanted to cross the Homesick Ridge quickly so as to reach the next place.

Suddenly, Nan Ci heard a familiar flute sound again, but it was a different melody from before.

Nanci followed the sound of the flute to a pavilion, where a woman was playing a purple jade piccolo.

Nanci can tell that this is a song from the human world - "Folding Willows"

Whose jade flute flew into the city of Luofeng in the spring.

In this nocturne, who can't afford to hear the falling willows?

This was written by Li Taibai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, and it has been sung by later generations.In this Homesick Ridge, listening to a piece of "Folding Willows" that arouses the feelings of other people's hometown is also a good occasion.

Nanci narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked: "In Xia Nanci, who is the girl?"

Passing through Homesick Ridge, you will feel the love of your hometown.There is a pavilion in the Sixiang Ridge, named "Sixiang Pavilion", and there is often a flute player in the pavilion.What is blown is folding willows, and what is installed is the love of hometown.Only when the homesickness has calmed down can we continue on the road.

"My surname is An, just call me Granny An." The woman said.

Nan Ci frowned slightly, looking at her body shape and listening to her voice, the woman in front of her was definitely a girl in her twenties and eighties, not to mention whether she was an alluring girl. How could someone call her a girl at this age? Mother-in-law?However, Nan Ci didn't waste his words on the address, but said directly: "Po An, are you the flute player from Homesick Ridge?"

"It's me." The woman said.

"Then Po An, can you show me the jade flute in your hand?" Nanci said, staring at the jade flute in the woman's hand.

In fact, Nan Ci has no interest in the flute itself.It's just that this flute is a purple jade piccolo.

Jade has three primary colors: white, yellow and emerald.The violet jadeite is the best among jades.Nanci has only seen two of this kind of jade flute, one is at Chunyun Villa Yan Shenxing's place, and the other is in Tang Wudu's hands.

Or, from the beginning to the end, there was only this purple jade flute.

The woman said softly: "Don't look at it, this flute is called "Zheliu"."

Nanci's heart sank. What Mrs. Yan lost in Chunyun Mountain Villa was a purple jade piccolo. She also said at the time that the word Zheliu was engraved on the flute.That flute is An Ruge's old thing.

And the woman in green in front of her was also surnamed An.

Nan Ci felt that there was something about to come out, but he pressed his anxiety and asked again: "Do you know Yan Shenxing?"

Mentioning the word Yan Shenxing, Nan Ci clearly felt the woman's breath startle in front of him.Now Nanci can be sure.Sometimes words can confuse people, objects can confuse people, but a person's subconscious reaction cannot fool people.In particular, Yan Shenxing was also An Ruge's beloved husband.It can only be said that An Ruge's city mansion is not very deep, which made Nanci see the flaw.
