Rebirth Code

The next day, Xiao Ran brought a small bag of luggage he had packed and a ghost beside him to the bullet train leading to C Town.

Zheng Zhuojun was already waiting there, raised his hands high and waved to Xiao Ran with a smile, Xiao Ran quickly ran over with his luggage: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, the car is coming soon, let's go there and wait."

"Well~"

They booked a hard sleeper train, which happened to be the nearest big city to town C. Town C was very remote, and even by train, there was no way to get there directly.Although the ancient city architecture is quite attractive, the traffic is not convenient, so not many tourists are willing to come and go. After all, everyone wants to go to a more relaxing place during the holidays.

The moving train slowly opened, and the scenery outside the transparent window disappeared faster and faster, and it was replaced by another world.

Opposite Xiao Ran and the others was a young couple. The boy looked very shy, and the girl's cheerful personality always made the boy blush frequently. Xiao Ran and Zheng Zhuojun quickly became acquainted with them.I heard that they were also going to Town C, but it was different from their destination.

The girl's name is Liu Zizi, and the boy's name is Liu Hua.

Liu Zizi said with a smile: "Is the name very destined~ I met him in Town C, and his family is in Town C. I went to visit distant relatives that day, but I didn't expect that my skirt was scratched on his bicycle on the way. Don’t mention how annoyed I was at the time! That was my new dress! I wanted to argue with him, but I didn’t expect haha, the man kept apologizing, his face turned red, and he frantically took out his wallet to lose money , don't mention how cute it is!" Liu Hua next to her scratched her head and blushed again.The girl stretched out her "magic claws" and pinched Liu Hua's face, "Why are you swollen so cute~~~"

Xiao Ran and Zheng Zhuojun were amused as they watched the scene before them.The two were amused by the couple and laughed all the way, but they didn't know who was hiding strong envy behind the smiles.Happiness is generally like this, the love between the lovers overflows the air, and even the air in the car seems to be able to turn pink.

After driving for nearly seven hours, the bullet train finally arrived at its destination.Although the scenery outside the window is not as full of high-rise buildings and busy traffic as T City, the fresh air blowing in the face is really refreshing.

After Xiao Ran, Zheng Zhuojun and the couple surnamed Liu said goodbye, they had to take a bus for another four hours to reach the ancient city.

The bus was driving on the potholed muddy ground, and it was so bumpy that I could spit out all the things I ate before.Xiao Ran started to get motion sickness, his head was resting on the car window and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.

Zheng Zhuojun looked at him worriedly: "Are you okay?"

Xiao Ran said listlessly: "... just a little motion sickness."

Zheng Zhuojun slapped his head: "Hey, I forgot to prepare motion sickness medicine, I didn't know you were motion sick..."

"It's okay... Maybe it will be fine in a while..."

Xiao Ran frowned slightly and closed his eyes dizzily, suddenly felt the backpack he was holding moved, and then moved again.He barely opened his eyes, only to find that the front pocket of the backpack had been pulled open a small crack, revealing something.

Xiao Ran took it out and saw that it was a tablet of motion sickness medicine. Did he leave this in his backpack?Looking sideways, he found that Shen Yi was standing in the aisle, pointing to the things in his hand, and then looked at him worriedly.

Shen Yi let it in?He didn't even know when it was.

Xiao Ran took out the water bottle, broke out a piece of medicine and swallowed it with water. Obviously the medicine should not work so quickly, but Xiao Ran felt warm inside, like being baked in a hot oven, this kind of warmth even replaced his own Nausea from motion sickness.

The rest of the time seemed to be less difficult, and Xiao Ran had already arrived at the ancient city of Town C by the time Xiao Ran regained his composure.

The ancient city of Town C is almost exactly the same as the photos on the leaflet.Blue sky, clear water, long green grass, everything is safe and peaceful, as if isolated from the bustling and noisy world, quietly existing in one's own square.

This is also the first time Shen Yi has come to this kind of place.Although he had traveled to many large and small cities and various countries during his lifetime, he had never been to such a desolate and sparsely populated place.After all, the former self can be regarded as the second young master of the Shen family who was pampered since childhood.

But for this person, I came to a place I never wanted to go.

Shen Yi followed behind them, and the two people in front were talking and laughing. From time to time, Xiao Ran would secretly look back to see if he was following, and then continued to chat with Zheng Zhuojun.

There were really few people, no wonder the leaflets were distributed everywhere in T City.But looking inside, there is a long alley leading straight through, with the attics of the ancient city next to each other on both sides, with blue tile roofs and gray stone walls, revealing an attractive charm.

At this moment, Xiao Ran seemed to fall in love with this place.It's just strange that this place gives him a strange sense of familiarity.Zheng Zhuojun was curious. The two walked into the long alley, and there were people selling some special trinkets on both sides. When they saw tourists passing by, they would be very enthusiastic to solicit them.

Xiao Ran walked into a store selling mixed groceries. The owner was an old man with a white beard, who looked like a celestial being.When he saw guests coming in, he nodded slightly as a greeting to them, and then continued to concentrate on carving the little brown wooden figure in his hand.

The interior and exterior of the store are equally simple and pure, with hollowed-out carved window lattices, and all kinds of novelty trinkets neatly placed on the left and right.Xiao Ran looked at one by one, but stopped moving his eyes on a familiar object.

It can be seen that there are four small wooden sculptures of teenagers and young people sitting back to back on the ground, looking like drinking and talking happily.I seem to have seen it somewhere...

correct!It's at Zhiming Festival Playground!Xiao Ran immediately turned to look for Shen Yi, and saw that his eyes passed by his side and fixed on this wooden sculpture.

Sure enough... the scene of this wood carving is exactly the same as the one seen in the haunted house of Zhiming Festival, which is too coincidental.

Zheng Zhuojun asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, this is what I've seen before, in T City."

Xiao Ran took the wood carving and came to the white-haired old man at the counter to ask for advice. Zheng Zhuojun also followed him: "Mr., can I ask if you carved this?"

The old man raised his head slowly, squinted his eyes and took the wood carving, looked left and right, and then slowly replied: "That's right."

"Then... do you know about the Zhiming Festival in T City?"

"Zhiming Festival? What is that?"

"It's the largest amusement park in T City. There is a scene of a haunted house that looks like this wood carving. I think it's a coincidence, so I want to ask you."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "It's strange, how can ordinary young people pay attention to these things."

Xiao Ran scratched his head with doubts on his expression: "I don't know either, but I always feel... I am very interested in this, and I want to know what happened to these four people... Is it a man-made story or a history left behind Traces... maybe I'm thinking too much..."

"Hahaha!" The old man looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, "It's not too much to think about. This thing and this scene do have some origins. As for whether it is true or not, no one has ever verified it. It is just a few unofficial histories handed down from ancestors. Bring it... oh."

"Why is the old man sighing?"

"It's nothing, it's just that this seemingly false story is not a good story, so it doesn't matter if you don't listen to it."

"But..." Xiao Ran said, "I really want to know."

The old man stared at Xiao Ran for a while, then sighed slightly: "It may be fate that you bumped into the same thing twice, so I'll tell you. But, I don't know much. What you said in T City I think that haunted house should be built by my junior brother, you can only ask him for the rest."

Xiao Ran nodded: "Thank you."

"During the Qianhua period, unofficial history records, it is said that there are two major assassination sects in the world. They only work for the royal family, and they do all the shameful activities of the royal family. The returned children were captured by their leaders and fed them the poison that would prevent them from betraying the organization for life, so they obeyed. And this wooden carving is four of them.

"The real names are not known, but their killer codenames are Hongyao, Hongyan, Ye Ling and Boneless. In fact, the two sects have been friends for decades, and many underground transactions are mutually beneficial. But I don’t know why they turned against each other suddenly one day. I guess it should be related to the interests of the royal family.

"When the four of them were young, they were trained as murder weapons, but as long as they are human, they must have feelings. Hongyao and Hongyan are a pair of brothers under the Honggu sect, while Ye Ling and Boneless But because of the friendship between Honggu and Fenglandian at that time, they were close relatives and friends who had been close to them since childhood.

"As for the details, my family's unofficial history has been brought over in a hurry, so I don't know. I only know why Hongyao escaped from Honggu with three people on his back, and I don't know why he was imprisoned by the evil cult and tortured. But One day, he came back suddenly, but at that time, Honggu and Fenglan Temple had become sworn enemies, so the friendship between the four no longer existed, and it seemed normal to turn against each other. All kinds of things, the past is like smoke, and things are different.

"This is all recorded in the book, but I always feel that it is full of loopholes and is not in harmony. So this is one of the reasons why my junior brother left here. Although we are not sure whether it is fabricated or true, but he is very I like to travel around, so I used this reason to find out more details and left."

The old man stroked his white beard to end his speech, Xiao Ran listened carefully, feeling that this story, which is both true and false, would be sad to hear even without details.Because whether it is the clay statue of Zhiming Festival or the current wood carving, perhaps the carving is too vivid, the scene of the past of the four people is so vivid, it is really uncomfortable to think about what will happen afterwards.
