In front of the not very spacious door, there was an old man in a cloak, who did not look like a very rich man, but was drunk.

When they went to that road, they wanted to pass through, but it became difficult.

Or did the woman wake him up, "Uncle, may I ask what happened in the town today?" ”

It turned out that this old man was the watchman here, and in the Luohe clan, every town has such a person who sits at the gate, but this is not a lucrative errand, and then he slowly became unwilling to do it.

But Hanging Ling Town is different, even if no one is watching in the past, they will temporarily arrange one in extraordinary times to kindly remind passers-by that the town may not be peaceful.

The old man woke up slowly, and with his worried eyes, he saw two dusty people standing in front of him, and he did not hurry to stand up, but reached for the gourd on his waist, pulled the stopper, and swallowed the wine.

He hasn't gotten his strength to drink yet, and now he's drinking like an alcoholic!

Thanks to him, he can still live to this age.

"It's not too early, and you don't have anywhere to go now, but I can tell you, Hanging Spirit Town is very unpeaceful now!"

The old man burped with a sour wine.

"Want me to recommend a few places to stay, ......"

He stretched out his hand "elegantly" towards Su Xuan and the others.

Or rather, rightfully so.

Su Xuan thinks this is still a little familiar?

Obviously, he is a foreigner, and he is not familiar with the place.

He subconsciously touched his money bag, which was the bits and pieces that the elder had lent him.

However, Hu Yue on the side didn't pay attention to him, but took the brown copper unicorn and walked around the old man's door.

Su Xuan immediately came back to his senses, good guy, the road is so wide, there is no one there, just find a child to ask is better than him, and he dares to reach out and come! Come to deceive, come to deceive, he's a kind-hearted outsider!

In a fit of rage, he didn't pay attention to the poor old man.

The old man walked to the town without saying a word, knowing that it was an insider, he suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly called, "Two stay, stay!" You don't have to charge money to ask for directions! ”

He hurriedly stopped the two of them, gasped and said, "There have indeed been some strange things in the town in the past two days, and the two of you are really not here at the right time." ”

"So what's going on?"

"I don't know exactly what it is, but this big array of wind and sand smoke has opened, it must not be a good thing."

Above their heads, there is a vaulted dome that can be seen with the naked eye.

It is as if separated by a layer of glass.

"As soon as this smoke burst opens, not only can outsiders not come, but also people inside can't get out. Since the two of them were able to enter the town at such a time, I am afraid that they are not ordinary people.

If you want to talk about the strange things that happened in the past few days, it should be the ghost bride two days ago. ”

He patted the black gourd on his waist, as if proudly showing off that the wine had come from the banquet.

"August 18 is a good day to get married. There were just three couples in the town that day, and I took this wine from Zhang's family. You know who the Zhang family is, it is one of the five demon suppressors who are famous in the town.

It is a happy event for the newcomers to become a pair.

But guess what? ”

Looking at the old man's gossip look, Su Xuan said as he liked, "That bride turned out to be a vampire." ”

It was roughly similar to the legends of the city he knew.

"Vampires?" The old man said, "What is a vampire?" ”

Su Xuan explained, "Well, it's a ghost anyway. ”

"Speaking of ghosts, this thing is also weird!" The old man continued, "The newcomer of the Zhang family, one of the famous demon suppression families, was discovered the next day and became a fool. Not only that, but the other two newcomers who have nothing to do with the Zhang family also had an accident in the same night, and the three newcomers all became fools. It's pathetic. I suspect that the immortal master of the Yellow Calendar was drunk when he wrote the Yellow Calendar, which is obviously not a good day to get married. ”

"The bridegrooms are the ones who have become fools, and where has the bride gone?"

The old man clapped his hands and said, "This is the weirdest part of the whole thing." The brides are all gone. You said that such a big person, how can he disappear, he can't disappear without a trace, and he has gone three times. Who can do this except for ghosts and spirits. ”

The old man suddenly lowered his voice, looking mysterious, "I heard from people who know the inside story, when the people of the Demon Suppression Family went to investigate, they found that there was actually a musty smell of corpses in the newcomer's room. I think it's because something happened on the other side of the cliff, and the ancestor of the shadow corpse came out to harm people.

Since you can come in at such a time, you must know that once this great array opens, nothing good will happen.

Although the two of them are unusual, they need to be more careful when walking at night. ”

"Thank you Uncle for reminding me." Hu Yue thanked him softly.

Su Xuan originally wanted to make fun of this old man, but he followed the customs of the locals, and still acted as a foreigner who did his duty, and also nodded to the old man and expressed his gratitude.

Looking back and walking on the street full of sycamores, the red lights are shining, and there is no one on the empty street, which is weird and inexplicable.

However, it's not a fierce place to eat people and don't spit out bones, after all, they also met a kind old man who is not very kind.

Under the hazy veil, Hu Yue asked him, "What does Childe think about this matter?" ”

Su Xuan said: "The ghosts and monsters in the world are all from the fear in people's hearts, and the ghosts that walk in the world are often found to be pretended by evil people in the end. When the wicked pretend to be saved, they forget that they are human beings. If the 'ghost' pretends to be a person for a long time, he will forget that he is a wicked person. People in the world can't tell the difference between ghosts and wicked people, but they feel inexplicable fear of bizarre things.

So, it's probably some cunning guy doing some unforgivable prank. ”

Although it seemed unlikely that the woman would be able to take care of this matter, Su Xuan still reminded euphemistically, "Who is maintaining the order here for you, I'm afraid this matter can only be handled by them." ”

However, what Su Xuan didn't expect was that although the woman was not the defender of this land, she was the only guardian here. There are some things that really can't be handled by other people.

"However, if the Demon Venerable Thousand Feet Puppet finds the side of the Hanging Spirit Cliff, it is possible that the dead body will run to the town."

Su Xuan almost forgot that in this tribe, it was impossible to think about problems in a normal way.

After running in a different mode of "it is true", he said, "Have you forgotten what the old man said, the groom has become a fool, and the bride is gone, and not even a shadow is found." What does this mean? ”

The woman tilted her head sideways, "What does it mean?" ”

"This shows that these three brides may be in a gang, seeking money and killing people, and I am afraid that they have already escaped from the town with gold and silver treasures at this moment."

As for the things that the old man mentioned later, he said perfunctorily, "It's probably a rumor from an idle person." Think about how such a strange thing could go unnoticed when walking on a busy street, and how it could be mixed into a more alcoholic banquet. What's more, so far, it seems that only the groom has been hurt. ”

The woman nodded, and she stopped abruptly. Su Xuan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that there would be something terrible hidden in the dark intersection ahead.

Hu Yue whispered, "Cry." ”

Su Xuan automatically realized that she took a few steps closer to the woman, staring vigilantly around the empty street. "Girl, don't be scary!"

Hu Yue said, "There is really a cry!" ”

Su Xuan listened quietly, only hearing the sound of the wine bowl and porcelain bottle bumping, and the low voice of someone lingering, chatting nonsense, it seemed to come from a place not far in front of him where there was a slight figure; As for the crying, Su Xuan didn't get anything.

"Girl, you heard it wrong, there was no crying at all."

"Follow me."

The woman didn't explain anything, turned around and walked into an alley.

Su Xuan was also in a hurry to follow up, and after a few turnarounds, he heard the "cry" that the woman said.

Whimpering, some miserable, some powerless.

However, this is not the charm sound made by the spirit to confuse passers-by, because this cry is really ...... It's so ugly!

The woman jumped lightly, like an antelope, and jumped over the wall about a foot high.

Su Xuan was a little dumbfounded, if it was an ordinary wall, it would be okay, in the face of this kind of eaves wall, no matter how he started, he felt inappropriate, like a hedgehog.

And this alley is a rare six-foot alley, if it is a little narrower, he can also use the friction of the two walls to step on his left foot and his right foot, and he can also go up.

As if seeing his embarrassment, Hu Yue elegantly pulled up the hem of her skirt, squatted down slightly, and stretched out her hand to him.

"That's not going to work, Childe." She shook her head slightly, grabbed the eaves with one hand, and gently lifted Su Xuan up with the other.

In fact, he doesn't really can't climb over this wall, except that the spiral ascension of the left foot and the right foot, in fact, you can also learn from the method of running and jumping on the side, but in front of the elegant woman like an antelope, if you run, what do you want to have close contact with the wall, it will be too embarrassing. Moreover, there is such a big movement when you go over the wall, and you can't get oil and rice when you are a thief.

In short, in this way, they entered a gate that looked like a rich man.

Sneaky, but it's not a thief, I'm afraid it's hard for anyone to reply.

Follow the cry until you come to a house that has been locked from the outside door.

I was whimpering inside, but now I'm afraid I'm tired and sleepy from crying, and there is no movement.

In fact, the lock cylinder was not locked, but hung there. I don't know if they were unlocked on the way they came, or if they weren't locked in the first place.

Anyway, it's better to knock on the door first.

Su Xuan also learned some local dialects, and eagerly asked, "Is there anyone inside?" ”

Someone immediately responded, "Who's it, who's outside the door." Your voice is not a servant in our household. "With suspicion and vigilance.

"We were people from outside the town who were passing by, and we heard someone crying, and we didn't know what was going on, so we came to see."

"Are you the only one?" A weak voice asked.

"We, naturally, are two people."

"Please come in, excuse me, let the two of you laugh."

The door creaked open, and in the door stood a woman with a haggard face, her eyes were bloodshot, and white hair had grown from the corners of her forehead.

She wiped the dried tears from the corners of her eyes, invited them to sit down, emptied the kettle, and said embarrassedly, "I'm shut up here, I haven't eaten or drunk, and there's nothing left to entertain the two." ”

Su Xuan hurriedly said, "No, no, as long as you're okay, we're still worried about someone getting into some trouble." ”

Is he really worried about others? Although he said so, he thought that he should not be so saintly. When this kind of thing happened before, it was too late for him to run.

But what's going on, unconsciously, he is also full of lies.

He shouldn't be quick to talk, it was obviously the woman who brought him here, but now she is standing by and watching, what a cunning.

The old woman looked at the young man, who looked unremarkable, and then turned her head to look at the girl, who was dressed in white with foggy veil, with a hazy face, and held a rattan basket, and the sword in it was a dozen weapons.

She seems to have seen such a person somewhere, but no matter how much the woman racked her brains, she couldn't remember.

But that kind of sword weapon, she remembered clearly, "You, are you from the Demon Suppression Family, I don't know which family?" ”

Su Xuan heard Hu Yue and Uncle Guan mention these demon suppression families, which are quite "divine authority of the monarch". However, how did you get involved with them again, it seems that these people are quite famous in the town.

"No, we're from outside town." He had the intention of borrowing a place to stay.

The woman immediately understood what he was saying, and said, "It is not impossible to rest, but first tell me who you really are." ”

She stared at the sword wrapped in Qiluo fur sheath in Su Xuan's hand, as well as the rattan basket on Hu Yue's wrist, and asked, "This kind of sword is only held by people from the Demon Suppression Family, and you still say it's not." ”

Su Xuan looked at the woman, and her tone weakened a little, "It shouldn't be!" ”

Hu Yue also shook his head.

"Then look at it, the section of the sword body under the sword grid can have the word 'Edict' written on it."

Su Xuan pulled out the sword and was about to defend something, but he happened to see that two small words "Eshen" were really reflected on the spine of the sword with the candlelight on his back.

I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.

Su Xuan simply didn't say anything, the material proof was there, and there was no way to justify it.

At this time, the woman said, "It seems that you are indeed not from the Demon Suppression Family, and I don't remember that there are you two characters in the Demon Suppression Family. ”

The woman's tone suddenly weakened, and she said with pleading, "If you have something to do with this sword, then you can help me too......"
