Chapter 768 Fengdu City

"Where?" Wang Xinran asked.

"This is probably the legendary ghost town." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"What ghost town?" Wang Xinran was confused.

"Have you never heard of Fengdu and the ghost town Fengdu?" Wu Zhongyuan said. "You work in the 18th Branch, but you don't know about the ghost town Fengdu?"

Wang Xinran curled his lips in disdain, "I am an officer of the 18th Precinct, not a Taoist priest who subdues demons and catches ghosts."

While the two were talking, a rapid and strange laughter suddenly came from below.

The incident happened suddenly, and both of them were shocked. The weird laughter had not stopped yet, and more weird laughter appeared. In an instant, the entire abandoned city was filled with this kind of eerie and weird laughter.

"It's okay, it's an owl." Wu Zhongyuan patted Wang Xinran on the shoulder.

Wang Xinran also guessed that it was an owl, but he suddenly heard this kind of eerie laughter in the middle of the night, and it was a film of strange laughter, which would frighten anyone.

Anyone who has been frightened will feel angry when they come to their senses, and Wang Xinran is no exception. She came out with a rifle this time. Seeing strange laughter coming and going, she unloaded the rifle, pulled the bolt, loaded the gun, and turned on the safety. He glanced down and said, "What the hell is that?"

The sudden sound of gunfire alarmed the owls dormant in the ruins, and a large number of owls flew up from all over the city with strange calls.

These owls are different from common owls. Common owls are all yellow and gray, but these owls are all black and white. After flying up, they do not go far away, but stay and hover over the ruins of the city, densely packed and without counting. number.

"What the hell is this place?" Wang Xinran waved his rifle and knocked away an owl that flew near by mistake.

"You are really right, this is a hellish place." As Wu Zhongyuan spoke, he stretched out his fire spiritual energy, condensed a huge fireball from the air, and then used his spiritual energy to activate the support, making it shine brightly, and the dazzling light was instantaneous. The area illuminated is as bright as day.

These owls are very afraid of light, and when the light of fire appears, they will fly away with strange cries.

"Let's go down and have a look." Wu Zhongyuan led Wang Xinran to the ground.

The ground was full of thorns and shrubs, and there was almost no place to stay. But before the two landed, the thorns and vines below began to disappear, gradually revealing the earth and rocks below.

Wang Xinran knew that Wu Zhongyuan did this.

But he still couldn't help being shocked. After landing, he looked around and asked, "How did you do that?"

"Everything in the world is transformed by breath. The higher the level of spiritual energy, the stronger the ability to control breath." Wu Zhongyuan said casually. He is now doing two things, releasing spiritual energy to replenish the spiritual energy of the fireball hanging in the air, and at the same time generating energy. The liver meridian senses and decomposes the surrounding thorns and vines.

Fear mainly comes from the unknown. Darkness will aggravate the unknown, so many people are afraid of the dark. In addition, this area is covered with thorns and vegetation, making people wonder what is hiding underneath, which will also aggravate fear. When the surroundings are as bright as day and the thorns and vines are gone, and you have a thorough understanding of the surrounding situation, the terrifying aura will naturally diminish.

"Those owls just now were much bigger than ordinary owls." Wang Xinran held the gun in his hand and looked around.

Wu Zhongyuan said casually, "There is something wrong with your observation angle. You should not pay attention to their size, but to their fur color. Have you seen black and white owls before?"

Wang Xinran shook his head, "No."

"Not only have you never seen it, but I haven't seen it either," Wu Zhongyuan said, "You should have heard the legend of the owl calling Hun'er. In Taoism, the owl is the night owl, the messenger of the underworld, and the one who carries out errands for the underworld. "

"These owls are related to the impermanence of black and white?" Wang Xinran guessed.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I'm not sure. It may be the original character of Black and White Wuchang in later generations, or it may be a subordinate of Black and White Wuchang. This cannot be determined. However, it is very strange for them to stay in this area. Have you noticed that? There are no mice or snakes around, and there are very few bugs. Why do they gather here if there is no food?"

While Wu Zhongyuan was speaking, the surrounding thorns and vines were disappearing rapidly, and more and more ground was exposed. Without the covering, it was clearer that this was a large city, and the stones used to build the city were They are all very large, and flat stone slabs can be clearly seen on the partially uncovered ground. However, due to its age, the city has been severely weathered, and most of the buildings in the city have collapsed.

"How long can you keep the big fireball in the sky going out?" Wang Xinran looked up.

"At least three months." Wu Zhongyuan smiled.

Hearing what Wu Zhongyuan said, Wang Xinran felt relieved. Wu Zhongyuan was her husband, and she didn't need to pretend to be fearless in front of Wu Zhongyuan. "There's something really wrong with this place. I'm so flustered."

"It's normal. The human body has the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil. After you become Taixuan, your senses are sharper than before, and your perception of bad breath is stronger. The yin energy here is very heavy, so you feel depressed." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran nodded and asked, "Is this really the legendary Fengdu City?"

"It should be," Wu Zhongyuan said, "If I guessed correctly, this is probably where the ghost clan's capital was before it was sealed, similar to the human clan's Bear City."

At this time, all the thorns and vines within a hundred feet around the two people had disappeared. Wu Zhongyuan did not continue to extend outwards and moved towards a huge stone pillar not far away.

The stone pillar is black. After thousands of years of wind and sun, the top of the stone pillar has been weathered and deformed. The stone pillar should have been engraved with graphics, but now it is completely invisible.

"Hey, what does it look like?" Wu Zhongyuan looked at the stone pillar with a smile, "Nature is so miraculous."

Wang Xinran glanced at Wu Zhongyuan, "What kind of place is this? Why do you still have the heart to think about this?"

"It doesn't matter where this place is, it's who I am." Wu Zhongyuan turned towards the central area of ​​the city, "Let's go and get down to business."

"Do you know the specific location of that ancient tomb?" Wang Xinran had an occupational disease and would habitually look around with a gun before following up with Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Yes, the debit note is correct. The place is in the center of the city, but it should not be an ancient tomb, but a secret room."

"How do you know?" Wang Xinran asked.

"My guess," Wu Zhongyuan said, "That place may be Zisu's place of retreat, or it may be the place where his golden house hides his beauty. No matter what it is, it can't be an ancient tomb, because Gui Zisu has a cultivation level of Shangyuan. , has the incarnation of Nascent Soul and is immortal, he does not need a grave, and there is no need to prepare a grave for himself."

"It makes sense," Wang Xinran nodded and then suddenly shook his head, "But it's not right either. Those people from Leprongling Ridge took away a few funerary objects from there."

"The places placed in the basement are burial objects?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.

Wang Xinran did not answer, and turned around to look back again, "Why do I always feel like there is something behind me?"

"There is a big cave behind the owl statue," Wu Zhongyuan said, "The strong Yin energy here emanates from there."

Wang Xinran didn't like to ask questions, but he still couldn't help but be curious, "What's in the cave?"

"I'm not sure," Wu Zhongyuan said, "Let's go to the underground peach garden first, and then go to the cave."

The two of them are walking on the main road of the city. There are many human-shaped stone figurines lying around the main road. These human-shaped stone figurines are all bent down and carrying loads. There is a semicircular depression on their backs, which shows that they are carrying heavy loads. The thing should be a vessel similar to a pot, most likely a metal brazier, used for night lighting. The reason why the brazier is missing is because metal vessels cannot be preserved in the open air for more than 5,000 years.

When Wu Zhongyuan stopped to look at the stone figurines, Wang Xinran was always on guard with a gun, looking around.

Seeing how nervous she was, Wu Zhongyuan said casually, "It's okay. Although the yin energy here is very strong and there are a lot of owls, there will not be any danger here. If there is real danger, those people in Leprous Ridge will not be able to escape unscathed."

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Wang Xinran relaxed slightly, "Those tomb robbers are powerful enough, and they were able to find this place."

"They rely on this to make a living. They just specialize in the art," Wu Zhongyuan said. "In addition, the tomb robbers do not go to specific tombs. They all know Kanyu and know which locations have good Feng Shui. Our country's Kanyu Feng Shui theory is very popular. It has been finalized a long time ago, and the standards for judging the quality of Feng Shui have never changed. What was good Feng Shui five thousand years ago will still be good five thousand years later. Tomb robbers will try it as long as they find a place with good Feng Shui. This will last for thousands of years. , countless people died, if Zhang San was not buried here, Li Si might also be buried here, so they basically did not fail."

Wang Xinran suddenly understood and asked, "How do you know this?"

Wu Zhongyuan put down the stone figurines and continued walking to the center of the city, "You don't pay attention in class and always play games. The teachers I mentioned have all told you in class."

"It's not in the book." Wang Xinran said.

"These things are suspected of feudal superstition and cannot appear openly in textbooks, but teachers can teach them," Wu Zhongyuan said. "If we students of archeology don't understand these things, how can we rob cultural relics from tomb robbers? However, my country's cultural relic protection principles It is very conservative. Unless it is a rescue excavation, it will not take the initiative to open the ancient tomb. This is very passive. We are worried that the cultural relics buried with it will not be properly preserved after the active excavation. But tomb robbers don't care about this and dig when they find it. So the basics of archeology They are all wiping the butts of tomb robbers and picking up the leftover scraps they stole."

Wang Xinran nodded, "Yes, legal education needs to be strengthened and the quality of the people needs to be improved."

"It's not entirely a matter of quality," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, "In the final analysis, life is better. There is a saying in the archaeological community: 'Antiques in prosperous times are gold in troubled times.' Only when times are better will people be interested in collecting. If it is precarious, In troubled times, people prefer gold, that is the hard currency.”

While the two were talking, they came to the central area of ​​the city. This is where all the main roads in the city converge. There is a circular pool. The pool is made of white jade stones. It is about nine feet in diameter and divided into two. It is in the shape of Yin Yang and Tai Chi. The pool is not deep, and the water level is not more than one meter. However, the pool has dried up at this time, leaving only the jade stones used for decoration at the bottom of the pool.

People at this time had already begun to use jade, but jade could not be exchanged. It was mostly used for ritual vessels. If it were put into modern times, these colorful jade stones alone would be priceless.

These jade stones were evenly distributed at the bottom of the pool. Wu Zhongyuan waved his right hand and moved a piece of jade away on the right side. He turned his hand back and lifted two of the stone slabs, revealing a dark cave...
