When the sun shone on the earth again, the whimpering sound had long since dissipated, and everyone in the post station was as if nothing had happened last night, and they all slept peacefully until dawn.

The post officer looked at the people who were all right with a strange face, trembled his hands excitedly, and shouted: "This is the first time that the lower official has seen and heard the cry, and he is still alive!" This, this, this...... What the hell is going on? ”

Ma Zhong patted him on the shoulder, "It may be that our group is tall, so the ghosts don't dare to seduce us over." ”

"Uh......" The postman didn't believe it, "I used to ......"

"Okay, okay, if someone is always seduced, will the imperial court still set up the post here?" Ma Zhong knew that the post official was convinced of the thousand-year-old grievances, so Princess Lachu's statement was definitely useless, not to mention that their life was a fluke, "You have been here for many years, aren't you all good?" So, it can be seen that not everyone will seduce the thousand-year-old souls. ”

Xue Jinyi heard Ma Zhong's words, thoughtful, and then whispered a few words to Pu Yangxuan.

Pu Yang nodded clearly.

This time, the post officer was finally persuaded by Ma Zhong's words, and nodded: "Ma Shilang is right, it was the lower official who was frightened and confused." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Ma Zhong patted him on the shoulder again, "You still have to stay here, still be cautious?" ”

"Yes." The post officer thanked him.

Xue Jinyi looked at them with a smile, everyone's acting skills were really getting more and more powerful under the experience along the way. However, they are all officials in the capital, and they are all people with real skills.

After counting the number of people and sorting out the luggage, the team set off again.

Jin Yang followed Pu Yang Xuan's carriage and said in a low voice: "After last night's incident, my subordinates and others checked the assassin and the surrounding area, and only found that my son's people were particularly nervously searching for something. The subordinates asked, and they said that because of the assassins and strange whimpering, they did not dare to slack off to guard the safety of you and your son. ”

"Did they find anything?" Pu Yangxuan asked.

Jin Yang said: "According to the observation of his subordinates, they have not gained anything. Moreover, Shen Qingmo's subordinates later withdrew. ”

"Oh?" Pu Yangxuan looked at Xue Jinyi.

Xue Jinyi shrugged innocently, "It's Puyang who thinks about it too much, what's the matter with me?" ”

Pu Yang Xuan said: "Pu Yang has some scruples, and he can't have too much contact with Shen Qingmo, so many things are easier to do." ”

Although Shen Qingmo's people withdrew, they were still all people in the same boat, and if the boat leaked, no one would be able to escape, so Shen Qingmo would definitely continue to secretly lay down guards, and they still had one more layer of protection.

He commanded: "Tomorrow we can join the people of Wei Guogong, but there must be no slackness." ”

"Yes!" Jin Yang took the order seriously.

Pu Yangxuan said again: "In addition, quietly let people go back to the post station and ask the post officer what kind of people have disappeared over the years." ”

Jin Yang went to run errands.

Xue Jinyi said: "Maybe you can guess what kind of secrets are hidden in the Ancient City of the West Night from the category of missing people." ”

Pu Yangxuan nodded, when they returned, they would definitely pass there, so they had to take precautions.

In the afternoon, after a brief rest, the team continued on the road.

Jin Yang came to report, "The post official said that over the years, there have been men, women and children among the missing people. Because this road is the main road, so the merchants who come and go are on this road, there was originally an inn next to the post station, a rich guest house, and a tent on the side of the road without money to make do. Without exception, they lost their whereabouts after dawn, and some of their belongings could be found in the desert, but their bones could not be found. ”

"Didn't anyone notice anything at night?" Pu Yangxuan asked.

"The cry was so scary that most people would take some sleeping pills before going to sleep and wouldn't even notice that someone was drawn away by the cry."

"Pills?" Xue Jinyi asked, "Where did the pills come from?" ”

"The inn sells it. Later, the inn was closed, and the merchants who passed by here would buy it in advance in the state and county pharmacies. ”

Xue Jinyi asked, "Haven't you been to the nearby state and county yamen to find out?" ”

Jin Yang replied: "I have checked, but there is no result, and it is related to ghost legends, so it is over." In addition, around the ruins of the Western Night Ancient City, complete human skeletons will appear every once in a while, and they are all said to have been thrown out after being eaten by the unjust souls in the Western Night Ancient City. ”

"How long does it take for a human bone to appear each time? Does it match the number of missing people? Pu Yangxuan asked.

"No," Jin Yang shook his head, "the time is not fixed, and the number of people does not match. ”

Xue Jinyi and Pu Yangxuan glanced at each other, "Could it be that those unjust souls still have a penchant for collecting corpses?" ”

This is of course impossible.

The bizarre legends of ghosts and gods, and the human skeleton of Sensen, all point to a possibility-

"You don't want people to get close...... Pu Yangxuan whispered, and asked Jin Yang again, "Do you have anything else to ask?" ”

Jin Yang said: "The post official said that since more than ten years ago, no one dared to go to the West Night Ancient City to investigate, except for people from the north who came from the north and lost their way in the desert, or some bandits who dared to steal treasures from the ruins of the West Night Ancient City. People only dare to look at it from a distance when the wind and sand blow and the ancient city of the west night is exposed. ”

"The treasure in the ancient city of the West Night?" Xue Jinyi clapped her hands, "Yes, the Ancient City of the West Night was once so prosperous, and there will definitely be treasures buried below along with the ruins." ”

Jin Yang said: "The post official said that no one can transport the treasures of the West Night Ancient City. ”

"By the way, doesn't it mean that there was once a person who came out alive and was just crazy?" Xue Jinyi said, "I saw it in the book. ”

"The post officer said that it didn't take long for the madman to bleed to death, and before he died, he shouted 'ghosts, they are all ghosts.'" Jin Yang said so much, thinking of the whimpering sound last night, his back was a little chilly, "That's all the subordinates asked." ”

Pu Yangxuan nodded at him, and then asked Xue Jinyi, "Did Ah Jin think of something?" ”

Xue Jinyi pursed her lips, "The ancient city of the West Night, where the treasure is buried, attacks men, women and children indiscriminately, so as to create panic and make people dare not approach. Could the crazy person's 'ghost' in his mouth be referring to people? ”

Pu Yangxuan narrowed his eyes, "It seems that after the peace negotiation, it is necessary to test Shen Qingmo, what does he know......"

At this time, An Nu came to Shen Qingmo's side with a bag of dried meat, and said with some uneasiness: "Childe, it seems that the King of Chu has a strong interest in the Ancient City of the West Night. ”

"It's weird not to be interested." Shen Qingmo smiled, threw a piece of dried meat into his mouth, and chewed it a few times, "This time is a big test for him, if you don't prepare in advance, it's easy to die." ”
