Chapter 18 There's Dust

Yan Danqing and Gu Yan are hidden in the dark night.

Yin Du left the stele and walked towards the empty city, as if he didn't see Murong Jun'an.

Murong Junan was stunned for a moment, seeing that Yin Du was about to enter the city, he was a little anxious and a little scared, hesitating.In the end, he bravely followed up, but within two steps, he was startled by a small group of will-o'-the-wisps, jumped back a few steps, and looked at the group of will-o'-the-wisps with both hands clenched in a vigilant manner.

When Yin Du disappeared and completely entered the city, Yan Danqing and Gu Yan walked out from behind the stone tablet.

"Yun Lingjun? Brother Ran?" After being surprised, there was joy, and Jun An was relieved, his voice choked up: "I, I and, He Nianqi, Yumin, got separated." After speaking, he said to Yan Danqing: "Brother Ran, The big, big chicken legs are gone too."

Yan Danqing comforted: "We heard what you just said." He patted him on the shoulder, pointed at Gu Yan and said, "With you, Yun Lingjun, there is no problem."

Jun An took a careful look at Gu Yan, then immediately lowered his head again.

"..." Yan Danqing said to Gu Yan, "Don't be a boss with a scary face."

Gu Yan said expressionlessly: "Is it scary?"

Yan Danqing nodded and sighed: "Forget it, I can't change it for a while. You should take a look at the words on the stele first, and we will follow into the city later." Then he said to Jun'an: "You just said it was Yin Du hid them? Did you see it? Or..."

"Who is Yin Du?" Jun An was puzzled: "That person is the fake Yaotian we met in the cave before! Brother Ran, did you forget? He took our sword away, we are looking for it The sword came, but the big chicken leg suddenly ran into a city on the way, and we met him in that city. At that time, he was preparing to pawn our sword at the door of a pawn shop."

Yan Danqing frowned and thought, "Fake Yaotian? Are you sure?" But he clearly saw that it was Yin Du!They had seen it not long ago, so they shouldn't remember it wrong.

Jun An said: "It's true, we'll be in the cave with him for a few hours, we won't be mistaken. And the saber he's holding, it's impossible for us not to recognize our own saber!"

Could it be that he was wrong?Yan Danqing said to Gu Yan: "Yun Lingjun, do you know that person just now?"

Gu Yan has met Yin Du before, if it is really him, he will definitely recognize him.But Gu Yan said, "This is the first time I've seen you."

"..." Yan Danqing didn't worry about who that person was any more, and said in his heart that he should find Yaotian and the others first.Then he asked, "Jun An, how did you get separated?"

Jun An was a little embarrassed, and said: "They chased Yao Tian too fast, I, I lost it before I could catch up."

"..." Yan Danqing continued to ask: "Since you didn't catch up, how did you know that it was the fake Yaotian who took them away? How did you meet him?"

Jun An was even more embarrassed, wishing he could stick his head in the ground.Hesitatingly said: "I, I tied a rope with Yuanjie on the big chicken leg, and Yuanjie guided me out of the city, but I didn't see the big chicken leg, but the fake Yaotian."

What is a rope?As much as he wanted to know, let's ask later.

Here Gu Yan has finished reading the words on the stele and stands beside him, as if he has something to say.Yan Danqing asked, "What's written on it?"

Gu Yan said: "Fengdu."

"Fengdu?" Is this Fengdu?Yan Danqing asked: "What about the other characters? What do the other characters say?"

Gu Yan said nothing, turned his back.Murong Junan glanced at the stele while taking advantage of the ghostly fire, and said, "Brother Ran, it says..."

"What did you write?" Yan Danqing leaned over and said, "Show me one by one."

Just when Jun An was pointing to a word to read to Yan Danqing, the stone tablet shattered with a "click".The chief culprit, Gu Qianjuan, had a calm face, turned her head to look at the empty city, and saw a ghost lamp rising slowly in the city, flickering light blue flames and fluttering towards the night sky.

Yan Danqing's pupils shrunk slightly and his heart felt bad, Yaotian and the others were in danger.He taught Yumo and the others to use this ghost lamp when he was at the Mingjingtai. The method is very simple. You only need to melt a little phosphorous fire into your breath, and if you are in danger, put a lamp, and he can see it no matter how far away.

Junan also knew the usefulness of the lamp, and said in a panic: "Brother Ran, this is the lamp, they are in danger."

Yan Danqing signaled him not to panic, the ghost lamp in the sky has not been extinguished yet...

At this moment, there was a loud bang in the city, and even the place where they were standing trembled three times.

A long, piercing green arrow pierced the night sky and shot straight into the sky.

Yan Danqing and Gu Yan looked at each other and recognized that the arrow was shot by Yuqian's Hua Nugu.Yan Danqing said to Jun An: "Are you going in, or waiting for us here."

Without hesitation, Jun An said, "I'll follow you." Yu Mo and Nian Qi are his good brothers, and he is going to save them.And of course the big chicken legs.

Yan Danqing smiled slightly: "Then you have to follow closely."

Jun An replied, this time he must not be lost.

However...he was stupid as soon as he entered the city, the city was much darker than the outside, he could barely keep track of him only by relying on the few will-o'-the-wisps held by Yan Danqing.

Yan Danqing didn't expect it to be so dark here, but it's still a little less dark than the night of the underworld.But considering the feelings of Gu Yan and Jun An, he still slowed down.

The further Jun An walked, the more afraid he became, so he took a few steps quickly and pulled Yan Danqing's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Brother Ran, it's so dark here, how can we miss them!"

Yan Danqing said: "Just follow me, I know." As he spoke, he quickened his pace a little, and he could feel Yaotian's breath nearby, but it was very unstable, as if injured.

Hearing this, Murong Junan was startled, the voice of reply was in front of him, so who was he pulling?Slowly raising his head, Gu Yan's cold and handsome side face was close in front of his eyes, but he didn't look at him, nor scolded him, it should be said that he didn't notice him at all.He just stared at Yan Danqing in front of him, as if he would disappear if he didn't pay attention.

Murong Junan wanted to take back his hand, but he was afraid of losing his footing, so he asked in a low voice: "Yun Lingjun, can I hold your sleeve?"

After a while, Gu Yan glanced at him, and he was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand and apologized repeatedly.Yan Danqing turned around with a sigh and said, "You should hold me! It would be great if Yun Lingjun can walk with us."

Jun An hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I'd better go by myself!" For some reason, he regretted following here.

Yan Danqing ignited several will-o'-the-wisps around him again, and said, "Are you still afraid now?"

Jun An lightly touched a ball of will-o'-the-wisp and said, "Brother Ran, isn't this a will-o'-the-wisp? How did you summon it?"

Yan Danqing smiled and said: "Why are you asking this? Do you want to learn? Even if you want to learn from your family, Yun Lingjun will not agree. You'd better not learn this kind of sorcery."

Jun An sneaked a glance at Gu Yan, but swallowed his words back, absently poking the light blue will-o'-the-wisps to divert his attention.

The three of them walked for a long time, and kept walking since entering the city gate, but this street seemed to have no end, and it was dark everywhere.Yan Danqing tried to use will-o'-the-wisps to illuminate the street, but the will-o'-the-wisps would go out not far away from him. He also tried to turn several corners, but it was as smooth and endless as before.

Really weird.

Yan Danqing asked, "How long have we been in?"

Behind him, Gu Yan replied: "Half an hour."

"Half an hour?" Yan Danqing said in shock: "I feel like we've been walking for a day, and my two legs are going to be broken." After finishing speaking, he sat on the ground cross-legged and propped his chin, and said, "Xie For a while, I will think of a way. This is too evil!"

The city was not as big or as wide as it is now when they looked at it from the outside.Although the city gate is high, you can vaguely see that there are many houses in the city, and a tall tower with a pointed top stands in the city.For half an hour, they were able to climb to the vicinity of the high tower in the city, but now they didn't even see a house. It was like a night in the underworld.

The night of the underworld!

Yan Dan stood up vigorously, so startled that Jun An next to him also jumped up, and said nervously: "What's the matter, brother Ran, have you thought of any solution?"

Yan Danqing asked Gu Yan, "Tell me the truth, what was written on the stele." His tone was tough, but if he didn't, Gu Yan might have kept the secret in his heart.If this is really Fengdu, they might have strayed into Huangquan Road now.

Strangers will not stray into Huangquan Road, but he is different. He is the King of Pluto, and he walks at the forefront on the way into the city, and the lighting is also ghost fire...

Gu Yan remained silent.

Yan Danqing said angrily: "Aren't you going to tell me now? Well, I won't ask you. Junan, tell me, what is written on that stone tablet?"

Huangquan Road can only be entered and not exited, regardless of whether you are alive or dead, once you enter here, don't even think about going out again.

Jun An stammered: "I, I only know a few words, it says... wrote..."

At this time, a very familiar voice came from behind Yan Danqing. "Your Highness, Your Highness? Is that you?"

It's the white-faced little ghost.

Yan Danqing stopped talking.

Then, another voice he was very familiar with sounded. "Mingming, your Highness just went back, didn't you see?"

It's Meng Po.Yan Danqing's face softened slightly.

The white-faced little ghost said: "Master Meng."

Meng Po said softly: "Go back quickly! Maybe you can catch up!"

The white-faced kid responded.

The surroundings became silent again.

Jun An asked: "Brother Ran? I finished speaking, did you hear me? What's wrong with you?"

Yan Danqing came back to his senses and shook his head, saying: "There is nothing, let's continue walking."

Not long after the three of them left, the night gradually receded, and the moonlight was cold, passing through the clouds and shining on the dusty houses.

They come out.

Under a nine-story tower in front of him, Yu Qian stood in front of the two teenagers with a flower slave drum on his back, and a big fat cat in his hand.

Yan Danqing recognized this place, he had been to this city before, he also knew this tower, he was familiar with everything here.

Yaotian smelled Yan Danqing's breath, twisted twice to break free from Yuqian's clutches, rushed towards him, jumped into his arms and shivered.

"It's you!" Yu Qian turned around and said, "Aren't you going to the southwest? Why are you here?"

Yan Danqing comforted Yaotian, confirmed that he was not injured but was a little frightened before replying: "We want to go wherever we want."

Yu Qian looked at Yaotian and Yan Danqing, and said, "Is that your cat?"

Yan Danqing said: "So what."

"What?" Yu Qian came over and stretched out his arms, pointing to his face and said: "Look, look, here, here, and here are all scratched by this little bastard, tell me, what should I do! You are his master, so you have to be responsible." After speaking, he pointed at Nian Qi and Yu Mo and said angrily, "And those two little white-eyed wolves, if you don't help me get the cat away, just stand aside Look at the joke. Is it funny!"

Yu Mo said seriously, "It's not funny at all."

"You..." Yu Qian was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while, and walked aside with Hua Nugu on her back.

At this moment, Nianqi suddenly said in shock: "Young Master Ran, are you injured?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Yan Danqing one after another, only to see that the white clothes in front of him were stained with scarlet.Yan Danqing looked down and saw that it was indeed blood, but he was not injured!Thinking of something suddenly, Yan Danqing walked behind Gu Yan and wiped lightly on his back, his hands were immediately stained with blood, the color was dark red, it seemed that he had been injured for a while, and the blood had coagulated.

Yan Danqing stared at Gu Yan in a daze, and it took him a while to remember to bandage the wound.

Murong Junan said: "Brother Ran, there is a light on in an inn over there."

Everyone saw that in the direction they came from, there was an inn with dim lights and an open door, as if inviting them to enter.

Without saying a word, Yan Danqing pulled Gu Yan to go there.Yu Qian chased him up and stopped him, saying, "You're crazy, this is a dead city, how could there be an inn. Even if there was, it wouldn't be a living person."

His words made it very clear that apart from them, everything else here is not human.

Yan Danqing walked around him and said with a sneer: "It doesn't matter what kind of monster he is, if he dares to attack me, he will only die."

Jun An picked up Yao Tian and chased after him, and Nian Qi and Yu Mo also chased after him.Yu Qian was in a dilemma, gritted his teeth and chased after him.

Yan Danqing didn't dare to walk too fast, for fear that Gu Yan's wound would be torn again.The threshold of the inn was very high, Yan Danqing stepped in first, but retreated after seeing the innkeeper.

Granny Meng stood behind the counter and flipped through the account book leisurely, without raising her head, she said, "Since you've come in, don't go out again. I'm the only inn in this city. Isn't the person next to you injured?"

Yan Danqing was stunned for a moment, and walked in boldly, pulling Gu Yan straight up to the end of the second floor, which was his room.

This inn is actually connected to his Pluto Hall.

Immediately afterwards, Yuqian and the others also entered the inn, and the white-faced little ghost Minming dressed as the waiter ran out from the back hall to greet him: "The guests are..."

Yu Qian slapped a piece of silver on the counter and said, "We'll stay at the store."

How can there be food in such an empty city with no human habitation? Even if there is, they dare not eat it.

The white-faced little ghost said: "You guys, please follow me."

The four of them went up to the second floor. Coincidentally, there were five vacant rooms in this inn. Yan Danqing and Gu Yan were in the room at the end, and the rest happened to be one for each of them.

It was a tacit understanding that the three teenagers just stood in the corridor until Yan Danqing and Gu Yan came out of the room.Jun An stepped forward and asked, "Is Yun Lingjun seriously injured?"

Yan Danqing shook his head, and said: "It's not serious, it's a skin injury, and the medicine has already been applied, and it will be fine in a few days." After saying that, he said to Gu Yan: "Don't come out, go into the room to rest!"

Gu Yan stood there but didn't move, and said three words for a long time. "I'm hungry."

"!!!!!!" Yu Qian came out of the room, poked out his ears and said, "Gu Qianjue, what did you just say?"

Junan, Yumo, and Nianqi opened their eyes wide in disbelief.

Yan Danqing didn't expect Gu Yan to say such coquettish words, so he didn't know how to respond.

Downstairs, Po Meng said quietly: "If you're hungry, get out and eat, do you still want me to invite you down?"

"..." Yan Danqing came back to his senses and asked back, "Is there any food here?"

There is an empty city here, even if it is connected to the Hades Palace, there is no food to eat. After all, the food in the underworld is for ghosts, and there is no food for living people.

Meng Po got angry and shouted: "If you like to eat or not, you can forget it if you starve to death."

"..."

The white-faced kid walked up to him and whispered, "Your Highness, Lady Meng is very worried about you, so don't be angry with him. There is also Lord Judge in the kitchen, and he asked me to tell you that the food here is absolutely edible for living people. "

As soon as he heard the judge, Yan Danqing was relieved.

Jun An walked up to him and said: "Brother Ran, the big chicken leg seems to be really sick, it has been whining and shaking, hiding under the quilt and refusing to come out."

Yan Danqing said: "I'll go and have a look after dinner." After speaking, he took a few steps forward, but there was no movement behind him. He turned around and asked, "Aren't you hungry? Why are you standing still?"

Yu Qian turned his head and said: "I'm not hungry." Then he said to Yu Mo: "Come here, I have something to ask you."

Yan Danqing said: "How about you? Are you not hungry?"

Jun An shook his head, he was hungry, but he didn't dare to eat with Yun Lingjun.

He read it: "We want to eat in the room." After that, Jun An looked at him very gratefully, and this sentence was exactly what he wanted to say.Busily nodded to Yan Danqing and said: "Brother Ran, you and Yun Lingjun eat together! We won't bother you."

"It's fine." Yan Danqing said: "Ming Ming, help them to the room!"

The white-faced kid was stunned, why did His Highness call his name, but he still responded and ran downstairs after being stunned.

Yan Danqing and Gu Yan randomly found a table and sat down.The white-faced kid was also a waiter for the first time, so he ran over in a panic and said, "You two want to eat something."

Glancing at Gu Yan, Yan Danqing didn't ask him what he wanted to eat, anyway, it was useless to ask.Said: "Two bowls of porridge, some light side dishes are fine." After that, he felt inappropriate and added: "Let's have another chicken soup!"

"You really think this is your home!" Granny Meng came out from behind the counter, and said without hesitation: "It's good to have porridge, and chicken soup, are you embarrassing me? This is how you treat senior brother ? You don’t even say hello when you meet?”

The white-faced kid was stunned, Po Meng is His Highness' senior brother?

Yan Danqing was also stunned, since Gu Yan was still there, Granny Meng didn't shy away from it.

Gu Yan didn't seem to hear it, but just stared at the table in a daze.

After a while, Yan Danqing said: "Senior brother, don't be angry."

It depends on how he acts, and if he continues to act, it will be messed up, so he simply stops acting.Continued: "Gu Yan, I'm going to talk to my senior brother. I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't recognize him for a while."

Gu Yan nodded.

Meng Po snorted coldly: "Didn't you recognize me? It's true that we haven't seen each other for a long time, but you won't recognize me?"

Po Meng got angry, and the consequences were serious.Yan Danqing whispered to Gu Yan: "When the porridge comes, don't drink it, wait until I come back."

Gu Yan still nodded.

Yan Danqing suddenly had the urge to touch his head, a well-behaved child should be loved.However, it is not suitable to do these things right now, so he said to the white-faced little ghost: "You will give each room a copy later."

The white-faced kid nodded.

"Brother, let's catch up on the old days!" Yan Danqing walked over and grabbed Granny Meng's shoulder and said triumphantly: "Brother, do you think I have grown taller?"

Granny Meng turned her face away and said in distaste: "Go, go, don't play with me. Even if you grow ten years at your height, you may not be able to catch up with me."

The two entered the back hall noisy, Yan Danqing put down his arms, lowered his head and said: "I'm sorry, I..."

Granny Meng slapped him on the back of the head and said angrily in a low voice, "What can you do to me? It's because I didn't like you."

"..." Yan Danqing felt aggrieved rubbing the back of his head.

The judge came out of the kitchen and said, "It's my fault. I didn't expect that they would really find His Highness's real body." But there were actually many things he didn't expect, including... Yan Danqing fell into a falsehood 15 years ago.

The world is unpredictable, and it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't been fully prepared.

Granny Meng rubbed her temples and said, "Have you brought Pluto's sword?"

"Here it is." The judge walked into the kitchen, and when he came out again, he held a radiant silver-white long sword in his hand, handed it to Yan Danqing and said, "Lord Yan Luo asked us to hand it over to His Highness, you are now a human being." , going into and out of the underworld will damage your lifespan, but holding this sword will not."

Will Gu Yan and the others also lose Yangshou?Yan Danqing frowned slightly, and said nervously: "This inn is connected to the Hades Palace, will they..."

The judge said: "No, this is just an ordinary inn, because it is too dilapidated, in order not to make ordinary people suspicious, we didn't use any tricks, but connected it to the Hades Hall." Ming is still outside, and there are no other little ghosts around.

Yan Danqing thought of the stone tablet outside the city and asked, "Is this really Fengdu?" Although he had never been there, Po Meng and the judge had.

Meng Po snorted coldly: "How can Fengdu City be easily found by mortals?"

Too.Yan Danqing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. When I came in, I almost thought I had entered Huangquan Road by mistake! Since this is not Fengdu, I can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, Meng Po and the judge both changed their faces.
