Lost Charm

Xu Qin and Yu Chijiong had already noticed something was wrong outside the imperial mausoleum. The surrounding area was almost covered by gray mist, and the fog became thicker as they got closer to the mausoleum. Based on this situation, it can be inferred that the interior of the imperial mausoleum should be covered in dust, and they couldn't even see their fingers when they lowered their heads.

"This fog has a fishy smell." Yu Chijiong murmured to Xu Qin when he got off his horse. It was taken for granted that according to Xu Qin's way, he would not be able to detect it. He was just expressing his opinion.

"It's not a fishy smell, but a stench." Xu Qin corrected, "It's a rotten stench."

"You mean Prince Jing and the others raised the corpse? King Zhao must have played too much, right?" Yu Chijiong said casually.

Xu Qin didn't respond, and the two came to the entrance of the imperial mausoleum. The guards who were usually guarding had already fallen down, and a large amount of blood had already formed lumps. Yu Chijiong quickly checked and found that they were pierced with big holes one after another. .

"King Zhao has no intention of hiding his identity. Is there anything in the imperial mausoleum that can demonize people?" Yu Chijiong thought with his toes and knew that the guards died from the vines of mountain ghosts. The plan is very confident, but thinking of this, he said unwillingly: "Tsk, shouldn't he kidnap all the officials first? It's so mysterious that it's hard for us to pour black water on him."

"Be serious. Let's go in and have a look inside. Have you brought your weapons?" Xu Qin interrupted Yu Chijiong's nonsense.

"Yes, I took Qian Jiguang's Xiuchun knife when I came here." Yu Chijiong patted the long knife on his waist. It was funny to say that Qian Jiguang thought that he would not walk around with a knife in the palace. He took the initiative to leave the knife in the bedroom of Fangxun Pavilion, but was snatched by Yuchijiong who passed by.

The two set off towards the depths of the dense fog one after the other, but after walking for a long time, Xu Qin suddenly stopped, causing Yu Chijiong to almost bump into him.

"Ji Hai, what's the matter?" Yuchi Jiong asked when he saw the rare hesitation on Xu Qin's face.

"Zixi, do you hear any sound?" Xu Qin asked cautiously, after all, he also wondered where the sound came from the imperial mausoleum: "There are some noisy sounds coming from far away, like the streets of the capital. "

"Jingcheng Avenue?" Yu Chijiong pricked up his ears first, but found that he couldn't hear anything. It took him a while to realize that the half-demon Xu Qin had dog ears, and his hearing was naturally several times higher than his own, and said : "Ji Hai, where is the sound coming from?"

Xu Qin put on dog ears and listened carefully for a while, then said, "It seems to be coming from the north."

Yu Chijiong thought for a while, and said, "Over there... there seems to be nothing, but forget it, we can't see the way clearly now, so we might as well go and have a look."

"But maybe I got it wrong."

"It doesn't matter, maybe we're going in the wrong direction, that's the main road."

The two walked in the direction of the sound, as Yu Chijiong said, there was nothing here, but every time they took a step forward, Xu Qin heard a clearer voice, and even Yuchijiong heard it later.

"It's very similar to the sound of people walking on the street." Yu Chijiong glanced at the statue of Weng Zhongshi who passed by him, and then brought into play his nonsense nature, saying: "It's not that King Zhao didn't invite me to play here. It’s the same thing, anyway, I also took refuge in him, and I still need to come here on my own initiative.”

Xu Qin rolled his eyes, Yu Chijiong always likes to make himself happy by talking nonsense when he is alone with him these days, but it is better to be serious in this occasion.However, before Xu Qin opened his mouth to curse, Yu Chijiong had already shut up obediently. It was not Xu Qin's face that made him shut up, but the figure in front of him.

Blurry gray figures suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, and they could touch the silhouettes of the clothes in the distance with their hands, walking back and forth with leisurely steps, as if they hadn't noticed Yu Chijiong and Xu Qin .

Yu Chijiong and Xu Qin subconsciously kept their voices silent, for fear of disturbing these unknown figures, but soon, they realized that the distance between themselves and each other was getting closer and closer. They didn't move, but the gray shadows whose feet were getting wider and wider. .At this time, Xu Qin found that not only the fog had thickened, but also the stench in the air had become much more pungent, so he reacted immediately—these figures were waiting for the fog to spread, and when the fog reached a certain level, they could expand their range of activities.

The action of the figure now is no different from that of an animal marking its own territory. Xu Qin quickly listed monsters with such characteristics in his mind, but none of them matched the gray shadow and fog in front of him.

Yuchijiong patted Weng Zhong next to him resolutely, for a moment he thought he had turned into a stone statue.

The mist spread very quickly, Yuchijiong and Xu Qin hadn't done anything yet, the figure was already shoulder to shoulder with them, Xu Qin wanted to blow them up with Yang Qi without saying a word, but Yuchijiong pulled him into the After death, he is not allowed to use Yang Qi again.During this tugging and tugging, the figure passed through them indifferently, and continued to wait for the expansion at the edge of the fog.

Yu Chijiong and Xu Qin couldn't help but looked at each other, did the figures not notice them, or simply ignored them?

Xu Qin didn't dare to make a sound, so he silently mouthed Yu Chijiong: "Ghost."

Yu Chijiong also nodded, no monster can pass through other creatures easily, only ghosts can do it.So the question is, what is the relationship between Zhao Wang summoning ghosts and demonization?

Xu Qin's eyes sank, these figures and mist were probably the acid and the mouth said "expand it, drive away invalid", he quickly counted, there are more than 30 gray shadows here, using Yang Qi to shoot them with a half-demon body Flying is also a bit difficult, but if the ghost image flies, whether the fog will follow the news is another headache.

"Look at those ghost images." Yu Chijiong suddenly put his head close to Xu Qin's ear, and said in a very small voice, "Details appeared on them."

Xu Qin raised his eyes and saw that the gray shadow not far away had a different color. He squinted his eyes and stared for a while before realizing that the indigo was the color of the clothes.

Those fogs are the key to their appearance in the human world, Xu Qin thought to himself, he took a look at Yu Chijiong, since these ghost images have gradually added details, and the fog in front is thicker than here, so there should be some ghosts that look like humans .

The two continued walking without saying a word, and all they saw along the way were ghost images that became clearer and clearer one after another. After half an hour, they could already see the five sense organs of the ghost shadows, without any emotional ups and downs.Xu Qin didn't understand what Zhao Wang was trying to do by bringing these ghosts here. If he summoned evil ghosts, it could be understood as increasing his combat effectiveness, but what's the use of these...?

The sound similar to that of Jingcheng Street became louder and louder. Xu Qin and Yu Chijiong couldn't help speeding up their pace, but when the scene came into view, they stopped unconsciously, as if they found Meng Yingming wearing women's clothing □Qian Jiguang as shocking.

In the Imperial Mausoleum, the gray buildings made of mist form two straight lines in a patchwork pattern, and the passage in the middle is the capital street.Appearances no different from human beings clumsily reproduce the bustling scene of the street, some are in charge of walking back and forth on the street; some pretend to be vendors selling things;

Unlike the ghosts I saw at the beginning, everything in front of me can speak.

Xu Qin squinted at the familiar building not far away, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching. Zhao Wang didn't even let go of the holy place in his heart. He even saw ghost shadows recruiting other ghost shadows in the decoration shop Xiaoer.More and more, he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in King Zhao's gourd, and what was the purpose of building a ghost street in the imperial mausoleum?

"Are the two guests going to come in? It's not a small brag. Our Fenglin Building's views and food are first-class, and we guarantee that people will come again and again!"

Xu Qin and Yu Chijiong just stopped at the entrance of Fenglin Building, and a shop waiter came out to greet them immediately.Although the ghost spoke very sincerely, his eyes were empty, and the focus was not on the two of them from the beginning to the end.

Could it be that he couldn't realize that he and Yu Chijiong were human beings?

At the moment when Xu Qin was hesitant, Yu Chijiong had already opened his mouth and said, "Did you go to the room?"

"Yes, of course there is!"

"Come and be quiet."

"Okay, the two guest officers invite me."

The waiter in the shop brought him up to the second floor with his warm and indifferent attitude, and Yuchi Jiong immediately hooked the other's wrist with lightning speed as soon as he entered the room.The waiter was obviously taken aback, and when he was about to struggle, Yu Chijiong let go of him calmly, as if the scene just now was just an illusion.

"I forgot to tell you, we only need a pot of tea, and we don't need any side dishes."

"Oh, yes, as the two guest officers wished."

After the waiter left, Xu Qin looked at the gray teapot on the table speechlessly, and swore that he would not drink the unknown liquid in it even if he was killed.

"It's a bit scary to look at, but it feels almost as real as sitting on it." Yu Chijiong sat down on the chair and expressed his thoughts by the way.

"They are really no different from human beings, except that their eyes are a little strange." Xu Qin whispered.

"I just touched it, and the waiter in the shop didn't have a pulse. Ji Hai, what did you see they were eating just now? It's fog." Yuchi said, no matter how similar the appearance is, those outside are still not human.

"There are too many of them. I estimate there are more than 2000. This is definitely not a number that can be summoned in a day or two." Xu Qin said with a headache. Can't dispel all of them.He finally couldn't help but sat down, and it really felt like a wooden chair as Yu Chijiong said.

"You mean King Zhao has been doing trouble in the imperial mausoleum for a long time?" Yu Chijiong thought about the possibility of "this is King Zhao's experimental field" and said, "But Ji Hai, you also saw those things just now." With the speed at which the mist spreads, it is not impossible to become like this in one day."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Where do you think King Zhao and Eunuch Li will be?" Xu Qin thought about it and still advocated capturing the king first. Wrap around the capital.

"If this place is really modeled after the main street, there should be a landmark of the capital at the end, a place that everyone in the royal family yearns for." Yu Chijiong said those two words one by one.

"The palace."
