Chapter 14 Chapter 11 Dead City

What is the magic mother stone, it is really difficult to explain.It is said that the magic mother stone is one of the multicolored stones scattered on the earth when Nu Wa repaired the sky, it is very precious and extremely rare.Its appearance is very ordinary, like ordinary pebbles, it is hidden in various parts of Shenzhou, and it is difficult to find it without special detection spells. Each phantom mother stone has its unique use, and no phantom mother stone has the same function, but it has the most basic usage, that is, to make your wishes come true.The so-called all wishes come true, the definition is not against the sky.According to the records in the ancient books that Ye Buyu has checked, it is somewhat similar to some illusions, but there are essential differences. Illusions can indeed make people see people or things that they have been thinking about day and night.

But the magic mother stone can create a small world when used with mirage beads.A world that others cannot see, but that you can clearly feel, touch, and truly exist in.That world does not obey the existing laws of the universe, but is a place of its own. If Tang Xuanzong really yearned for Concubine Yang Guifei day and night, then he could get an identical Yang Yuhuan in his own small world. "The Illusory Mother Stone? Where can we find the Illusory Mother Stone!" Yang Tongyou's face was ashen. Ye Buyu still smiled confidently, "Coincidentally, I do know a place, maybe there is."

"Really?" Taoist Yang cheered up. The value of the phantom mother stone is absolutely terrifying, even a hundred of his lives are not worth it just in case.Thinking of this, the guy suddenly became stunned, "Young Xia Ye, don't play tricks on me. If you really know the location of the Magic Mother Stone, why would you give it to me?" "Others may not, but who am I at Yebuyu. Although this handsome guy is not talented, he can do what he promises. If he promises to help you, he will help you to the end, but that ice soul crystal..." "What ice soul crystal?" Yang Tongyou immediately pretended to be stupid, he knew that it was impossible for the guy in front of him to return it.

"Very well, we set off overnight. It is estimated to take ten days." Ye Buyu nodded in satisfaction, the future is long, and it is really challenging to avoid Yumengdie's pursuit. Ten days later, they passed by the Chengdu Mansion, and then headed directly in the direction of Linqiong. Yang Tongyou became more and more confused as he walked, and couldn't help asking: "Young Xia Ye, isn't this the hometown of the poor? Why did you come back to my old den! You didn't say that the Magic Mother Stone is here?" "Yes, here There is indeed a piece!" Ye Buyu confirmed.

"How is it possible!" Taoist Yang was very surprised: "Poverty Dao has stayed in Linqiong for more than 30 years, and the resources for cultivating here are poor. There is nothing except good mountains and rivers!" There may be a phantom mother stone." Ye Buyu explained, "The existence of the phantom mother stone itself will absorb the aura of thousands of miles around. If my guess is correct, then the thing should be hidden in the depths of Tiantai Mountain a hundred miles away." Yang Tongyou felt that he was listening to the Arabian Nights. Anyone who heard that there were treasures buried in the home where he had lived for more than ten years, most of them would think that the other party had ulterior motives.However, he could still trust Ye Buyu. Could it be that the legendary phantom mother stone is really there?The closer he got to Qiong County, the more impatient he became.Suddenly, there was a strange smell in the air, and the two people stopped in their footsteps.

"Strange, what kind of smell is this?" Yang Tongyou sniffed, "It seems to be some kind of pollen." Ye Buyu's face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Xue Ying!" The graceful figure of a monster servant with a cold face suddenly appeared beside Ye Buyu, her white sleeves danced lightly, and the icy wind blew out from her sleeves , blowing away the smell of pollen around. "What is the smell of pollen? Why is Ye Shaoxia so shocked?" Taoist Yang asked strangely. "It's a fox demon!" Ye Buyu replied briefly while ordering Xue Ying to be on guard.

"Fox demon?" Yang Tongyou asked suspiciously, "You don't need to face a big enemy, right?" .Only fox demons with more than three tails will have this fragrance." Ye Buyu is indeed a knowledgeable and talented monster expert. He has already identified the origin of the monster just by the smell, "This fox monster has at least three thousand years of Taoism, but why did she enter the human town?" That's right, the fox demon does not transform into a beautiful woman like the folklore, and cultivates by absorbing the energy of men.They are often hidden in the deep mountains and rivers, and it is rare to see them in a thousand years.But in Qiong County not far away, there is actually one or even several. What's going on? "Go in and have a look, be careful!" Ye Buyu couldn't figure it out, and didn't bother to think too much.The millennium fox demon is not difficult to deal with, although Xue Ying is seriously injured, but Yang Tongyou is a bit obscene, and his strength is not bad.

Yang Tongyou felt that his heart was beating wildly, after all, there was a strange situation in his hometown, and anyone would be a little anxious. The three quietly approached Qiong County, and finally stopped in front of the plaque on the county seat.The traces of the car running on the bluestone board are still there, but looking inward from the straight road in the county, the whole street looks empty, without the slightest popularity. Not far away, many things were thrown around in a mess, but people disappeared.The more I look at it, the more I feel a depressive atmosphere in the air.In stark contrast to the deserted streets, the entire county is full of evil spirits, and boundless evil spirits leak out from every crack, making people tremble.

How many monsters are there in the county in front of me?Here, what happened?Ye Buyu doesn't know, but the situation is definitely not optimistic! "Who!" Yang Tongyou's ears moved, and he suddenly yelled to the left.There is a spell clasped in his right hand, and if something goes wrong, he will throw it out. On the right is a clump of woods, in which it is difficult to distinguish things.It was quiet all around. "If you don't come out, don't blame me for setting fire to the forest." Yang Tongyou threw the fire talisman on the ground not far away, and a ten-meter-long flame suddenly ignited, and the scorching temperature caused the weeds on the ground to evaporate instantly.

The thing hidden in the woods finally couldn't bear it anymore, and more than thirty people walked out trembling.Ye Buyu looked over and judged that the thirty people should be a caravan.There are more than a dozen guards, and the rest are all merchants. The current caravan leader was trembling with fear all over his body, and raised his hands with a smile on his face, "Immortal Elder, Immortal Elder, we are human beings." "What happened in Qiong County?" Yang Tongyou asked anxiously. "We don't know either." The leader smiled apologetically, "When my subordinates and I came here, we found something strange in the county seat. Maybe it was robbery by bandits, so I didn't dare to go in, so I had to hide outside to see the situation!" Ye Buyu raised his mouth slightly .This guy is dishonest and full of half-truths.Bandits can rob such a large county, are you a vegetarian as a soldier in the county?Seeing that he couldn't figure out why, Yang Tongyou also gave up, and turned to look at Ye Buyu, "Young Xia Ye, shall we go in or not?" "Of course we have to go in. This is the only way to Tiantai Mountain , there is nowhere to go around."

Ye Buyu glanced at the caravan, and led Xueying slowly across the archway step by step, and entered the Qiong County, which was like a dead zone. Yang Tongyou paused, and followed him in. The caravan of more than 30 people not far away seemed to be discussing something, and it didn't take long before the three of them followed closely. As a group of people entered, the evil spirit pervading Qiong County became more intense, like waves swarming against the rocks, more like a harbinger of a storm. The three ignored the caravan following behind. This is also the first time to come to Qiong County.Ye Buyu looked into the distance and saw a high mountain in the distance.Nine mountain peaks stand like four pillars, but there is no astonishing black air permeating each of the mountain peaks.Ordinary people can't see it naturally, but before entering the county, he wiped his eyes with an eye-opening charm, and the evil aura can be seen at a glance. "What is the boundary of that mountain?" He turned to ask Taoist Yang. "That's Jiuding Mountain." Yang Tongyou took a look. "Jiuding Mountain?" Ye Buyu asked in confusion. "Well. It is said that during Emperor Shun's time, the floods flooded the hills and surrounded the mountains. The people were displaced and homeless, and people from various tribes were forced to flee to high ground one by one. After Gun failed to control the water, his son Yu Go to control the water before life." "Yu led all the workers to visit the front line in person, weathering the wind and rain, and surveying the mountains and rivers. It is said that during the period, he went to the house three times but did not enter, and his wife, Tu Shan, could only look at each other from a hilltop outside his residence. In the end, Yu persuaded Nine river courses were repaired, nine great lakes were repaired, and nine mountain ranges were dug through. After ten years, the flood finally receded, and people were able to live on flat land. Afterwards, Yu received Zen from Shun, and began to divide the world, and cast nine tripods to control Kyushu." "In order to commemorate Dayu's achievements in water control and Ding Ding Kyushu, later generations called the place where Dayu cast the tripod "Jiuding Mountain", and the top of the mountain where Tu Shan's family often stood was called "Wangjunding". Here, look Junding is over there." Taoist Yang pointed to a mountain opposite. Ye Buyu frowned, the so-called top of Wangjun was also covered with black smoke.What happened near Qiong County? "Then on Jiuding Mountain, are there any traces left by Dayu when he controlled the water and cast the tripod?" He asked casually. "The relics of fart, I think the so-called Dayu casting the tripod here is all fabricated by later generations. Pindao has lived on Jiuding Mountain for more than ten years, and he has never found any treasures, and even monsters are rarely found." Yang Tongyou was furious, probably because he was harmed by ancient legends. "There are very few places where monsters appear, but now they are full of monsters. Hmph, interesting." Ye Buyu was noncommittal, and looked towards the sky. The sky in this area is gray, and the extremely low clouds make it extremely uncomfortable to see.Although I don't know where the sun is, it should have already arrived at You Time. The current Qiong County is very strange, with dead streets and an empty county town, even if they walked for nearly two quarters of an hour, they could not see any living things, even the chickens and ducks that the residents themselves feed in the yard, and the usual chaos None of the running dogs could be seen, and even the slightest sound could not be heard. The ubiquitous chirping of cicadas disappeared without a trace. Ye Buyu walked more and more frightened, even Yang Tongyou became frightened.Yang Tongyou's hometown in Qiongxian County, he has only been away for three years, why did he encounter such a strange situation when he came back? "It's getting late, find a place to stay first, and leave early tomorrow morning!" Ye Buyu looked around. "My Taoist temple is still more than ten miles away from here, and I will definitely not be able to make it before dark." Yang Tongyou sighed preoccupied, "There's an inn over there, and it's usually pretty clean. Let's stay there at night!" There are many meanings of cleanliness, but with the explanation of hunting monsters and hunting For those who are clean, it means safety, and it means that they have done a second job and arranged a magic circle in a subtle way. Ye Buyu felt that his heart was heavy, and he didn't feel this kind of danger when he was in the crisis-ridden Baoen Village some time ago.After the prosperity of the Kaiyuan period, although the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was going downhill, the foundation was still there after all. Although it could not be said that the door was closed at night and the road was not picked up, the basic security and the close connection between the counties were still there. Such a big thing happened in Qiong County. Haven't heard anything?Yang Tongyou cautiously pushed open the closed door of the inn, and quietly checked the barrier that had been set up three years ago.Very good, still there!It's just that there is no human smell in the inn, and the ground and tables are clean, as if they were still in use yesterday.But where did the people in the entire county go? "It's surreal." Ye Buyu stretched out his fingers to touch the table, the greasy dirt that the waiter didn't wipe off carefully was still there.The place seemed to be suddenly empty of people. Xueying is silent behind her master, she doesn't have Qingfeng's noisy, and as long as there are no other threatening female creatures around her master, she usually doesn't speak and is very dull, which is far less interesting than Qingfeng.Xue Ying seemed not interested in everything around her, her beautiful eyes just looked at her master quietly, and kept looking, never getting tired. "Xue Ying, what level is the evil spirit nearby?" Ye Buyu was used to seeing him, so he asked casually. "Class C." Xue Ying's icy voice filled the space, making everyone feel chills. "Class C?" Ye Buyu frowned. Generally speaking, the evil spirit in a fixed area is divided into five levels, A, B, C, D, E.Armor is the weakest, belonging to some small monsters, near the mountains and forests of human settlements.Wu is the strongest, located in the deep mountains where the ancient monsters are sealed, or there are a large number of powerful monsters, far away from humans.Level C demonic aura is already terrifying for a human town.You must know that the mother-in-law corpses that Yang Tongyou wiped out some time ago were only monsters that were a little more than Class B. To form a C-level demonic area, at least a large number of monsters must gather.Strange, what exactly caused the monsters in the deep mountains to run into Qiong County?Where did the people in the county go, were they all eaten? "Be careful at night, we will leave immediately tomorrow morning." Ye Buyu didn't want to cause trouble, he was a hunter, but he didn't bother to do money-losing business. Yang Tongyou was a little hesitant, but he still nodded. The sky and the earth are big, and his own life is the biggest. Although this is his hometown, it is not too late to come back and deal with the monsters in this place after his personal life crisis is resolved. Generally speaking, the pitiful ones will always die the first. The storytellers on the stage in restaurants say that those heroic heroes who kill monsters and save people when they see them regardless of safety will always exist only in storytellers. in a person's mouth. The caravan of more than 30 people, after seeing Ye Buyu and his party enter the inn, they boldly followed in.The leader smiled humbly at Yang Tongyou, then unceremoniously ordered everyone to go to the second floor to find a guest room, and by the way, searched and picked up a lot of fresh ingredients on the first floor, and made dinner boldly. "Looking for death!" Yang Tongyou just wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Ye Buyu. "Let them make trouble on their own, maybe they can save us a lot of trouble." He yawned while talking irresponsibly, "Eat some dry food with you at night, I'm going to bed." Ye Buyu went upstairs, picked up a room with a good location, which was convenient for escape, and lived in it.Then the doors and windows were covered with yellow charms.He who was still tired suddenly regained his energy, sat on the bed, looked at Xue Ying who was close at hand, and asked softly: "Is there any problem with that team of merchants?" "No." With a wave of Xue Ying's hand, a crystal clear ice bowl was formed in the air.She put the polished diamond-like bowl on the table, poured a glass of water and handed it to the host. "Every time I look at your spells, I find it really convenient!" Ye Buyu exclaimed. He took a sip of ice-cold water, walked to the window, opened the window and looked out.The night had already filled this dead city, and the surroundings were like a pool of stagnant water. Except for the people in the inn, there might not even be a single living cockroach left in the city. Snakes, insects, rats and ants are born with the ability to foresee danger, and it is normal for them to run away when danger strikes.But what about the people in Qiong County?What's more, it's normal for the business pair to run away cleanly.But what about the people in Qiong County?Besides, that caravan was really weird. They obviously saw the weird situation in the county, so they followed in without fear of death.What are they trying to do?After eating some dry food with ice water, Ye Buyu and Yang Tongyou stayed quietly in their room.Everyone who often deals with monsters understands that the principle of survival is to be careful, and to light fire in places that are no longer weird to attract attention. Obviously, the caravan downstairs doesn't understand. They busily cooked white rice, and put the bacon and fresh vegetables saved in the inn into the pot to make a hodgepodge.The scent of food began to waft outside the house, making people's index fingers move. "Boss, where do you think the people in this county went?" the guard who was cooking took the time to ask. The leader thought about it for a while, "Ghost knows, maybe everyone is holding back their excrement and urine, and went to the toilet." More than 30 people found their rice bowls, and one person became a bowl of rice, which was delicious and hot, and ate it happily. Ordinary people really can't see the strong evil spirit around them, but in the eyes of people with Taoism, the evil spirit is getting denser and denser.Although it was night, the surrounding wind was bleak, the moon was blocked by black mist, and the whimpering of ghosts could be heard everywhere. "I always feel very cold today." A guard took a sip of hot soup and shivered involuntarily. "I also feel that it's summer, but it's uncomfortably cold." Another guard also said strangely, "Look, I have goosebumps." A merchant's face suddenly changed, and he said in fear, "There must be ghosts, right? Otherwise, why would all the people in the county disappear suddenly! I feel weird." "Don't confuse the crowd with gossip, eat quickly." The leader glared at him, "Leave immediately tomorrow morning. Qiong County is the only way to go. Don't forget, our goods this time are very valuable." "Besides..." The leader carefully looked at the second floor, "The three people above are extraordinary at first glance, the cold and beautiful girl, the handsome young man, and the Taoist priest who can perform flame magic with a wave of his hand. I have never met anyone in my life. A person who is more dazzling than them, if they are closer to them, even if there are ghosts, at least they will be safe!" "No wonder the boss insists on following them." The guard admired. Some people also sighed: "But that girl is so beautiful that the country is so beautiful and the country is harmed. I am afraid that the concubine Yang Guifei who died in Maweipo is not as beautiful as her. It is too cold. If you look at it more, you will feel that your blood will freeze." "Eat yours, and you will die if you don't say a word?" The leader was startled, and quickly scolded him.Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they couldn't afford to offend the three people upstairs. After eating a fairly sumptuous meal, the guards packed up their things and prepared to go upstairs to rest.For some reason, the door of the inn was closed tightly, but the cold wind kept pouring in.It's unreasonable that it's so cold to the point of late autumn just after eating. At this moment, a guard who was going up the stairs suddenly screamed, covered his right hand and rolled down the stairs with a pale face!
