In the peach blossom forest under a bloody crescent moon, the peach blossom petals are stained with cold dew, and under the strange-shaped peach tree branches, there seem to be many ghosts.
Among the people, peach wood branches have the effect of warding off evil spirits, and are also called dragon-subduing trees and ghost-terrifying trees.
There is a Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, and a Peach Blossom Fairy under the Peach Blossom Temple. The Peach Blossom Fairy grows peach trees and picks peach flowers in exchange for wine money.
…
Mo Ao sat on a scarlet sedan chair, and four cold iron zombies carried the sedan chair, stepping on the peach blossoms on the ground, walking silently.
Dark crows circled and danced in the peach blossom forest, making ominous cries.
In the center of the entire peach blossom forest, there is actually a huge ancient peach tree that even dozens of adults cannot close with their arms stretched out.
Judging by the age, this ancient peach tree is at least five hundred years old.
In front of the tree hole, a plump peach tree elf with strange makeup on his face, wearing a red bellyband and braided hair, looked at the blood-red sedan with fear on his face.
"Sir, sir." The little peach blossom demon stammered.
A cold voice came from the sedan, "Are there any new faces in the peach blossom forest recently?"
"No, absolutely not, the little one won't even let go of a fly." The little peach blossom demon said hurriedly.
"Well, very good. Is there anything happening with my master these days?"
The little demon cried sadly, "Sir, even if you give me ten thousand courages, I wouldn't dare to peek at his old man."
"Hehehe." The curtain of the sedan was opened, and Mo Ao's lifeless face looked pale and terrifying. He smiled, revealing his red and white bloody teeth:
"Do a good job for me, your companions...well, the fried taste is very good."
After saying that, the scarlet sedan no longer stayed, but slowly moved into the tree hole.
The little peach blossom demon was left frightened to the point of peeing all over her pants, hesitating and unable to speak.
…
The tree cave continues to extend deep into the ground, and the walls on both sides of the cave are burning with brilliant blue phosphorus fire every few dozen steps.
Click, click, click, the dull footsteps of the iron corpse.
I don’t know how far I walked, but the temperature underground was getting hotter and hotter.
If ordinary people came here, they would be evaporated into a charred corpse immediately.
The rotten armor on the iron zombies carrying the sedan slowly melted into molten iron.
On the deepest stone platform extending downward from the peach blossom tree cave, a mysterious red-robed figure sat cross-legged.
Mo Ao got off the sedan, bowed respectfully, and said, "Master, good luck."
The whole body of the red-robed figure is hidden in the dark shadows, and it is covered in scarlet robes.
it raises its head,
It actually has no face, it is a faceless man with a red hood, and the faceless face is covered with overlapping shadows.
It has no hands, but has ten sharp black claws.
"Is there any news about that person?"
The voice of the man in red was hoarse and dry, like dry wood burned in a raging fire.
"The apprentice is incompetent and still hasn't found that person." Mo Ao lowered his head and said in shame.
"Yu County is so big, where can it be hidden?" the man in red robe thought.
"Hey, don't be distracted by this matter. Anyway, as long as that person can't escape, it will be fine. We have the 'Iron Ming Soul Crow' monitoring every city gate and wall in Yu County. It is absolutely impossible for that person to leave here.
If you have a city, you only need to trap that person in this city."
"Yes, disciple understands."
The man in red robe said quietly, "These days are very critical. As a teacher, we must not be distracted by the outside world. We must concentrate all our efforts on dealing with the evil fire dragon king."
"The Fire Evil Dragon King is hiding in the deepest part of this earth vein. I have already felt its surging and scorching power. This time, I will never let it escape... As soon as we get the magical power, we will leave this place immediately. Everything will be fine!"
“These days, be sure not to cause unnecessary complications!”
"Yes, I will obey the master's instructions." Mo Ao nodded.
…
Xunmeng Tower and Yuexian Pavilion late at night.
What does this vixen mean?
Li Tuqiang pretended to be calm and asked, "What do you mean? I don't understand you."
"I know what you are investigating? That girl is currently in Prince Xiang's Mansion and is very safe." The beauty's jade lips parted lightly.
hiss!
How come she knows everything?
Li Tuteng let out a fierce look, trying to find a suitable angle to kill this vixen who was pretending to be a ghost.
"Hey, hey, don't worry, I need you to help me... As long as you help me, I haven't seen all your tricks, and I can help you save that girl." The beauty said mysteriously.
.
"Let's not talk secretly. I'm just a stranger. I'm not familiar with the place. What can I do for you? What value do I have?" Li Tu asked cautiously.
"Empress?" The beauty's soft and waxy smile seemed to be able to draw away people's soul, and it was so charming.
"I saw the vixens written in the storybooks. Don't they all want others to call them that?" Li Tu said bluntly.
"Hahaha, funny boy, how can you be so sure that I am a vixen?" The Fox Empress smiled and then said, "Shall we make a deal?"
Li Tu was silent for a while, "Let's talk."
"I don't trust anyone in this city. Not just people, I don't even trust a fly." The beauty said with solemn eyes.
"Empress, are you suffering from delusions of being persecuted? Don't you even trust your good fox sisters?" Li Tushi said with a smile.
"Hmph, not only do I not trust those vixens, I even have to be wary of them." The beauty gritted her silver teeth and said bitterly.
"Then why did you choose to believe me? Is it because I'm new here?" Li Tu then asked.
"This is just one reason, and another reason is that that night, I saw you upstairs using magic to control the souls of ordinary people. This kind of magic is very useful to me, very useful. In addition, I have also investigated
You, you are a normal person."
Li Tu was silent, then nodded, "Empress, how can I help you? I can't do anything too outrageous."
"Stranger, I want you to help me enslave a soul and help me deliver a message outside the city." The beauty asked.
"Can't you get out of the city by yourself?" Li Tu asked warily.
The beauty smiled bitterly, "For some reason, you can only enter this city but not leave it."
"You're lying. When I first entered the city, I saw a lot of people fleeing from the city. Those people were walking the opposite way to those of us who entered the city." Li Tu said in disbelief.
"Yes, you can go out, but anyone who goes out will definitely die on the way. Either they will be eaten by monsters, or they will be secretly captured and executed by officers and soldiers, or they will be refined into zombies by the disciples of the Shizhuang Sect..." The beauty spoke slowly.
explained.
"No one can get out of Foolish City alive."
Li Tu was stunned and said, "What you said is very wrong. Since people will die if they go out of the city, why do you let me control others to go out of the city to deliver messages? What's the use of it?"
The beauty smiled mysteriously, "Things I let you control cannot be considered people."
She actually took out a birdcage from under the bed.
There was a dark crow in the birdcage. It was covered in iron armor, its mouth was sealed, its feathers were gray and lifeless.
Old Taoist Zihuo opened his eyes and said in surprise, "Hey, this is the iron-singing soul crow of my Shizhuang Sect. This kind of crow is implanted into the soul of the dead and produces human intelligence. It is mainly used for surveillance. It has the ability to perceive
It’s so strong that nothing can escape their eyes.”
The beauty unlocked the crow's mouth.
"Quack, quack, Master Yin Shuai will definitely take revenge on us. King Nu, this city is your tomb! You can't escape!" the crow called incessantly.
"Wrath...Wrath King?"
Li Tu was stunned. This name was so loud that anyone who was a citizen of the Liang Kingdom had probably heard of it.
The Daliang Kingdom was entrusted with four great kings, and King Nu was one of the four kings, and he sat at Yanmen Pass.
King Nu also has a well-known name, ‘King of North Saibei’.
Li Tu thought hard and couldn't figure out why the crow said that this vixen was the angry king.
The white silk beauty gave a wry smile and took off the layer of fox fur on her body, revealing a peerless figure in white.
"Yes, I am Ye Yuzhen, the angry king. When I escaped here, in order not to be discovered by the crow spies, I had no choice but to kill the real fox, wear fox skin to cover up my aura, and lived there for a month in shame.
The brothel proprietress."
The angry king was dressed in white, shining like a spring flower, his beauty was unparalleled in the world, and he captivated the country and the city.
"Li Tu, a common man, see the angry king." Li Tu knelt down on one knee to show respect for the king.
Immediately, she put on the fox skin again, her face showing a deep tiredness, "These days, I have to be wary of those fox sisters all the time. I am very tired, for fear of exposing my flaws."
"Who is our enemy?" Li Tu couldn't help but ask.
"Shizhuangmen, one of the top ten shady men, the faceless shady man." Ye Yuzhen said lightly.
"Back then, I came to Yu County to solve the drought problem, but I was secretly attacked by the faceless and sinister commander, causing serious injuries. Its Five Poison Claws were extremely poisonous and had the power of a seal. All my cultivation levels were destroyed.
The poisonous gas has been sealed, and now we are no different from ordinary people." Ye Yuzhen said helplessly:
"I couldn't believe anyone when I was trapped here, until you, a foreigner, came. I was so desperate that I thought I could give it a try... I hope you will bring me good results."
Li Tu said seriously, "I will try my best to do my best."
…
…
Late at night, a crow quietly flew out of the attic, carrying news of rescue and flying into the distance.
