Chapter 115 Strange things happen frequently in Lingzhou City
"Are you really from the world of cultivation?"
"Yes, can I go in?"
Several people looked Lu Youyou up and down, but no matter how they looked at her, they couldn't tell that she was a monk, she was just a cute little girl.
When their eyes fell on the shadow at her feet, several people finally felt relieved.
No matter what, as long as she is not a ghost.
Lu Youyou successfully entered the city.
In front of her was a wide road, and there was no end in sight.
This city is not small, but there are no vendors doing business on both sides of the road, and there is not even a pedestrian on the road, making it look very desolate.
Lu Youyou walked towards the city and released his spiritual consciousness, easily seeing clearly what was happening in the houses on both sides of the road.
"Mom, it's dawn, I want to go out and play."
"Obey, go outside now. It's cloudy. Wait until noon, when the sun is the strongest, before going out to play."
"I want to play now, it's too hot at noon."
"Why are you so disobedient? Have you forgotten that Shuanzi went out to play two days ago and never came back? Our city has been uneasy in the past few months. You just stay at home."
The adults tried their best to persuade him, but the child was stubborn and stubborn. In the end, he was so angry that he beat him up before he calmed down.
No wonder no one came out in the morning. It turned out that they were scared of ghosts.
It's just that Lu Youyou is very strange, why do so many ghosts suddenly appear here for no reason?
She kept walking and her consciousness continued to check.
"I was on tenterhooks all night yesterday, but nothing happened. Master, do you think it's strange?"
"Isn't this strange? Lingzhou City is so big. Nothing strange happens in our area. Maybe someone has died in other places. It's such a crime. When will it end?"
"Hey! I don't know if people in the cultivation world know what is happening here. If they know, someone will definitely come to kill the demons."
"We can only leave it to fate. I hope we can wait until the immortals come to save us."
Along the way, she finally figured out what was going on from the people's mouths.
Since the haunting, the people of Lingzhou City have been working hard every day. They dare not go out casually in the morning. They only go out for short activities at noon. They quickly return home before the sun sets, and the city gates are locked.
Almost every three or four days, someone would die on the street for no reason, crying would be heard in the middle of the night, and sometimes unknown blood would appear on the ground in Lingzhou City, which was very scary.
This situation started happening three months ago.
That night, the dogs in Lingzhou City barked wildly, the sound echoing through half the sky. When people lit candles and went out to check, the barking stopped suddenly.
Whether they were domestic dogs or wild dogs, they all died overnight, leaving not a single one left.
The strange thing started when the dog died in Lingzhou City.
This is strange, why ghosts start to cause trouble after the dog dies. Logically speaking, dogs do not ward off evil spirits.
Could it be that something is afraid of dogs, so they kill all the dogs in Lingzhou City without anyone noticing, so that they can cause trouble?
what exactly is it?
Lu Youyou thought hard and couldn't figure out what the connection between this ghost and a dog was.
She walked not slowly, from the north to the south of the city.
There are also people guarding the south of the city. After passing the south gate, you will exit Lingzhou City, which is a hundred miles away from the next city.
Lu Youyou was young, standing under the wall of the south city gate, no one paid special attention to her.
The guards at the city gate were chatting, and Lu Youyou pricked up his ears to listen.
"Lao Li, do you think anyone will leave the city today?"
"It must be there, but it's no use going out. It won't take long for you to come back."
"Things are getting weirder and weirder. Those of us who stay in Lingzhou City don't know how long we can survive."
"I can't get out of the city, so I can only die trapped in this eerie city, like a bird in a cage, living involuntarily."
When talking about this topic, several people felt a little depressed.
After a while, as they had guessed, three young men in coarse cloth walked towards the city gate to leave the city.
The guard did not stop them, but said "be careful" and let them go.
Lu Youyou hurriedly followed, and without waiting for the gatekeeper to ask questions, he quickly slipped out of the South City Gate.
She was very curious about what they just said, "it will come back soon".
Lu Youyou's footsteps were fast, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
With her speed, she could cover nearly fifty miles in less than one stick of incense.
Isn’t this strange? Why don’t the people in Lingzhou City leave from the south gate and insist on waiting for death in the city?
Just as Lu Youyou was thinking this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why does the scenery in front of her look so familiar?
She quickly stopped, calmed down, and distinguished carefully.
Isn't it familiar? She had just passed this road.
She had been running south, how could she come back?
Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment and came back? The words of those gatekeepers came true.
But how did she come back?
Lu Youyou slowed down and continued walking south. After walking for about a stick of incense, she circled back to her original position.
If you keep moving forward, you will come back to the starting point for no reason. Why is this so like trying to beat a wall?
However, in broad daylight, it is definitely not a ghost beating the wall.
Then it can only be...
Lu Youyou suddenly narrowed his eyes, it was a barrier!
An invisible barrier blocked the way for everyone in Lingzhou City to escape. No matter how they walked or ran, they could not escape at all and had to return to Lingzhou City to wait for death.
His consciousness spread out in all directions with her as the center of the circle, trying to find the location of the barrier.
Unfortunately, her consciousness failed to detect anything unusual.
There was no other way, so Lu Youyou could only go back the way he came.
When she reached the city gate, she met the three young people leaving the city again.
Everyone looked downcast, obviously encountering the same thing as Lu Youyou.
The guard saw it clearly and let them go without saying anything.
Lu Youyou entered Lingzhou City again.
It was already noon, and there were only a few people on the deserted street, all walking in a hurry.
Lu Youyou couldn't find any clues, so he could only wander around the street with nothing to do.
She walked slowly from south to north again.
The sun was setting in the west and had not yet set, and there was no one on the street. This showed how nervous people were and they did not dare to take it lightly.
Lu Youyou looked around, found a big tree and climbed up.
She was small. She lay on a branch of a tree and was obscured by the lush branches and leaves. It was difficult to spot her without looking carefully.
Lie on the tree, close your eyes and meditate, waiting for dark.
She wanted to see what would cause trouble in Lingzhou City after dark.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sun finally set in the western mountains, and the sky became dark.
Every household turned on the lights as smoke rose, and after dinner, they quickly turned off the lights.
Lu Youyou was alert and focused on what was going on around her.
Just like last night, it was completely silent, no one made a sound, and there were no insects chirping.
Lu Youyou waited and waited. She didn't know how long she waited, but nothing happened.
Aren't there going to be ghosts tonight?
Just as I was thinking this, I heard crying in the distance.
