Chapter 58 Chapter 58: Mizusawa Lost City

The starry sky disappeared, and the night mist, like an all-encompassing net, shrouded the entire Yunmengze—a place with countless pools and a puzzling haunted place.What happened here can no longer be guessed according to common sense. The howling of wolves came from all directions, from far and near, as if the wild wolves in the lake were looking for food in groups, adding to the sense of danger everywhere. Wu Zixu led Gu Yueming and Wu Shuangnv up the hill, and came to a pile of rocks, and said: "This is where I found the Ye Mingzhu, and the pearl was placed on this big rock."

Gu Yueming held up the torch in his left hand, illuminating the area with a radius of several zhang, doubting: "You don't remember wrongly, do you? In the thick fog, everything here is almost like this." Wushuang girl looked around, the mist was everywhere, making people unable to see through, she could only vaguely see dense pools of water under the hillside. Wu Zixu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not too sure when I tell you that. But I can tell you that I have a special talent in recognizing the road, and I will never forget the places I have been." Gu Yueming looked east and said: "If our guess is correct, Shuangshuang's father should have been shot by Ge Mo's crossbow arrow here in the Chu box on his back, so that one of the night pearls fell off on the stone, then the ancient city should be here. It's not far from the hillside. Even if we can't find the ancient city, we can still see the mountain where the ancient city is located, unless the power of ghosts and gods can make the whole mountain disappear. But how is that possible?"

Wushuang said to Wu Zixu: "Isn't Goddess Yunmeng in love with you? Has she moved on now?" These two unintentional words pierced Wu Zixu's most painful place, his face turned pale immediately, and he said dejectedly: "Don't mention it anymore, I might be deceived by her." The Wushuang girl was stunned and said, "What are you talking about?" Gu Yueming showed a resolute look, and said: "Standing here is not an option. Let's search eastward, hoping that the goddess is just playing a trick. Even if you can't see the ancient city, you can feel her existence by touching it."

Wu Zixu shook his head and said, "It's useless, otherwise the people sent by Eunuch Feng would have knocked out the ancient city." Wushuang lost her voice: "Are we just standing here in a daze?" Wu Zixu looked at Wushuangnv, then at Gu Yueming, suddenly let go of his throat, and yelled towards the east: "Goddess Yunmeng, we are here as promised! Can you see us or not?" Just after finishing the last sentence, there was a sudden gust of wind, and the surrounding mist, which was so thick that it could not be dissolved, was blown into a circle by the strong wind blowing from all directions.

The three of you look at me and I look at you, all of them have numb scalps.Never before have they felt the existence of Goddess Yunmeng so clearly, and felt her power. Wu Zixu stared straight ahead and exclaimed, "My God! Look!" The wind died down, and the torches returned to light. Through the mist that swirls and dances like a god, an ancient city looms in front of the three of them. This fortified ancient city that once stood in the Warring States Period, now only remains the black ruins that have been scorched by the fire and have gone through vicissitudes. It is full of trees and weeds, and has become a habitat for insects and ants.

They looked over just now and saw a large lake. The ancient city was built on a small hill rising from the center of the lake. The mountain city was surrounded by the lake water. Most of them are submerged in the lake water. The mountain city built three layers of city walls, one layer higher than the other layer. From the remnants of the towers and turrets, we can vaguely see the mighty appearance of the city wall at that time.The outermost city wall, standing on the shore, collapsed the most, and no longer had any defensive function. The three of them were dumbfounded at the unexpected spectacle in front of them.

In the cabin, Ruan Xiuzhen, who had just been untied, said in shock, "Fortunately, I don't know martial arts, otherwise the old thief Huangfu would definitely break my tendons and tendons, and all you can save is a useless person." Baichun secretly wiped a cold sweat, if Qiu Jiushi can't turn the situation around, it will be Qiu Jiushi who has his tendons broken. Master Qiu Jiu used massage to help him circulate Qi and blood, and asked, "Have you heard the whole process?" Ruan Xiuzhen nodded to show that he heard it, and asked suspiciously: "Did you really kill Jineti?"

Qiu Jiushi said: "It is true that he died at my hands, but the situation is extremely complicated, and it cannot be explained in a few words. How is the brother who accompanied us to Yueyang?" Ruan Xiuzhen said angrily, "Forgive the old thief Huangfu for not daring to hurt them. After we boarded the ship yesterday, we found out that the old thief Huangfu and his people were hidden on the boat. I ordered all brothers not to resist, because I firmly believe that the goddess Yunmeng has more The ingenious arrangement, now finally proves that I guessed correctly." Qiu Jiushi walked out of the cabin, and came back after a while and said: "They are locked in the cargo hold on the lower floor, and I have ordered someone to release them."

Then he said to Baichun, "His Baichun was frightened." Baichun gave him a sweet smile and said, "What is this?" At this moment, a subordinate rushed in and said, "There is a boat coming." Qiu Jiushi and the others were taken aback. Could it be that Eunuch Feng arrived so quickly and came all the way here? The three of them stepped onto the road leading to the entrance of the ancient city, feeling indescribable in their hearts.Is Goddess Yunmeng waiting for them in the city? At this time, a starry sky appeared above the mountain city, and the city wall spiraled up to the top of the mountain. The highest point was a collapsed building. The whole mountain city looked like a conch with a wide bottom and a top.

Under the light of the torches, there is only a dark door opening left at the city gate at the end of the road. It can still be seen that the city gate protrudes from the outside of the wall. There are two gates inside and outside, in the shape of an urn.It can be imagined that when Zhuancheng was prosperous, the whole city centered on the highest temple, and then the backbone of the city was formed by the spiraling city walls and mountain roads. In an environment with rigorous design and complete form. Wushuang girl's heart fluttered, if Gu Yueming guessed correctly, she would find her father's body after entering the doorway.

Gu Yueming was startled every step of the way.If it were him before, he would never have any fear, but now he really doesn't want to die like this, just because of the Wushuang girl who is following behind.What Wu Zixu said was right, he was no longer a lonely swordsman who had nothing to love.If this is Goddess Yunmeng's method, first to make him have a heart of love for life, and then put him to death, then Goddess Yunmeng's hatred for him is really hard to wash away. Wu Zixu's eyes moved from the vine-covered city wall to the half-collapsed city tower full of swallows' nests, and said with emotion: "It's hard to imagine that you and I fought side by side in this city, fighting against the enemy's Dao Eight years. After fighting so long, a man is weary of war and death. Alas! How do you feel?" Gu Yueming responded with a wry smile, and said, "Chu He, can it be difficult for you?" Wu Zixu took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "As long as you give me this opportunity, I guarantee that you can see the fairy fruit inside. The key point must be on the seven night pearls. The problem is that there is only one fairy fruit, but we have three people. Make three copies, I wonder if it will affect its efficacy?" Gu Yueming said: "You have the guts to take it! Since you have nothing and nothing to love, it's worth a try." Wu Zixu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Maybe what I've been looking for all my life is not the goddess of Yunmeng, but Xiangguo, who can figure it out?" The voice of Wushuang woman came from behind, cursing in a low voice: "Fairy ghost! Don't forget whose territory this is." Gu Yueming turned aside and said, "It's finally here, how does Shuangshuang feel? I've never seen Shuangshuang in such a good mood." Wu Zixu booed: "Yes! Let me guess! The reason why Shuangshuang's mood improved is because she found the only man in the world who doesn't care." While chatting and laughing, the three of them entered the doorway and set foot in the ancient city. A gust of cold wind blew from behind, and the torch was blown on and off, still vaguely seeing a square-like place behind the door opening, but it was covered with weeds and weeds, and a person was lying on the ground with a rucksack on his back. . Wushuang's delicate body shook violently, and she blurted out: "Father!" The three of them walked towards the dead body of their husband. Only one boat came, half smaller than their eagle boat, about four feet long, with four wheels on the bottom. As long as someone turns the bottom wheel, it can move on the water like a fish and glide like a fly. Suitable for river walking. At this time, the vehicles and boats flashed their lights and greeted them from afar. Qiu Jiushi frowned and said: "It's the boat of the Yueyang Gang, what are they doing here?" Ruan Xiuzhen also came to the podium on the rudder tower, and said: "Be careful, they may come to see Huangfu Tianxiong." Qiu Jiushi shouted: "Ask someone to slow down the boat." The subordinates were ordered to signal the incoming ship. Qiu Jiushi showed his neat white teeth to Baichun who was next to him, and smiled, "Is Baichun afraid?" Baichun shook his head with a smile, and gave him a blank look, blaming him for asking this question, but his heart was full of sweetness for Qiu Jiushi's concern. The speed of the carts and boats slowed down sharply, and as they approached slowly, a voice came over, "Are those on board Brother Qiu and Mr. Ruan?" Qiu Jiushi and Ruan Xiuzhen recognized the voice of Ma Gongcheng, the leader of the Yueyang Gang. After exchanging glances, Qiu Jiushi shouted: "It's us, why is the Ma Gang leader visiting?" Ma Gongcheng shouted: "Thank God, I finally found you." Qiu Jiushi and Ruan Xiuzhen were stunned, not understanding why Ma Gongcheng was so excited to find them. Gu Yueming and Wu Zixu walked in front, and Wushuangnv followed behind them, and walked over to the place where Chaofumeng's corpse lay with heavy steps. The gloomy wind in the city blows the torch flickering, making everything suspicious and delusional.The ancient city alone has enough deterrent power, so that the three of them dare not make any sound, for fear of profaning the sacred tranquility of the ancient city. This is definitely a foreign land different from the outside world, giving people a strange feeling of stepping into the world more than 1,500 years ago.Zhuan City is by no means an ordinary city. It is a city that has been cursed. It was born because of a strange tree. The most amazing thing is that its story is not over yet. They are back again. Wu Zixu's feeling of disappointment became stronger and stronger. He was disappointed with Goddess Yunmeng.He has been summoned, and since she is so powerful, she should have a welcome ceremony to suit the scene.But he definitely felt that Goddess Yunmeng's attitude was indifferent, and she was blowing a chilling wind, which was not friendly. His hopes were truly dashed. Losing the goddess Yunmeng also lost everything, and no elixir or fairy fruit can compensate for it. Wuzi knows better than anyone in his heart that what he wants is "her". Gu Yueming began to understand himself, he was looking forward to death so much because he didn't want to face the situation in front of him, and he didn't want to face the sins of his previous life.In this ancient city, every brick and stone, from the city wall to the streets, the towers and houses, are engraved with the deep memory of the ancient city, which made him feel the echo of the past.It was a burden no one could bear, a pain no one could resist. Gu Yueming wishes he had never lived. The huge infectious force of the ancient city hit him one after another. Never for a moment, he was so eager to end his life. Although Wushuang saw that the two were devastated, she didn't think deeply about their strange situation because she was too busy to take care of herself.The moment she was looking forward to finally came, but she didn't have the joy she expected, and there was a thorn in her heart. The situation in front of her was caused by her father.If Wu Zixu hadn't picked up the night pearl that fell from the Chu box on his father's back, Wu Zixu would not have gone to Yueyang, nor would he enter the ancient city at this moment.Without Wu Zixu, she and Gu Yueming would have no way of finding the ancient city.And in this fateful situation, father is the victim, his family was ransacked and exterminated by father-in-law Feng, and the instigator is Goddess Yunmeng, what is the reason for all this? She feels lost. twenty steps. Gu Yueming stopped suddenly, and a gust of wind blew in his face, sending a familiar smell, but because he was in a heartbroken emotional trough, his head seemed to be unable to function, and his mind was blank for a while, unable to respond effectively, just relying on intuition Stop going. Wu Zixu took a step forward, then stopped, and looked at Gu Yueming in astonishment. The Wushuang girl who followed behind almost bumped into Gu Yueming, and a pair of jade hands pressed on Gu Yueming's back out of a natural reaction. The prostrate husband moved violently, turned over suddenly, the sound of the machine gun sounded at the same time, and with a "chi", a powerful arrow shot out from the crossbow machine in his hand, aiming at Gu Yueming's heart. Gomo! Even with Gu Yueming's ability, under the situation of being completely unsuspecting and intoxicated, there is no way to resist, the only way is to get out of the way, but the terrible thing is that Wushuangnv is right behind him, if he moves away, he will suffer The arrow must be her, not to mention the amazing temptation of death to him at this moment. Wu Zixu saw Ge Mo's movements out of the corner of his eye, and for a moment he thought it was his own eyesight, but when he heard the sound of the machine gun, he suddenly woke up, knowing that Ge Mo and the others entered the city first, and set up a trap cleverly, pretending to be a husband. deal with them.He also grasped the situation that Gu Yueming was about to be hit by an arrow. Time does not allow him to think too much, he only knows that his death is not a big deal, but Gu Yueming must not die. Wu Zixu moved across with lightning, blocking Gu Yueming's front. When Gu Yueming was terrified, Wu Zixu let out a miserable snort, his whole body trembled violently, he arched his body and bumped back against Gu Yueming, convulsing in pain. Gu Yueming seemed to wake up from a dream, and then fell into another most terrible nightmare. He still held the torch in his left hand, and grabbed Wu Zixu's shoulder with his right hand. Looking down from Wu Zixu's shoulder, he saw a small The arrows from the crossbow sank into Wu Zixu's left chest, leaving only the arrowheads. This is a cruel reality that he cannot accept. Wushuangnv finally came to her senses at this time, rushed out from beside the two of them, and drew out the long whip around her waist.With a somersault, when he landed, the long whip lashed down on Ge Mo who was still lying on the ground. Gemo sneered, and rolled to the right, whipping the place where he was lying just now, stirring up grass clippings and dust. Wushuangnv was distraught, how could she let him go, she chased after him like a shadow, suddenly the sound of the machine gun rang again, and Ge Mo took advantage of the rolling time to load an arrow into the crossbow machine. Wushuang knew that something was wrong, at such a distance, it was impossible to dodge the crossbow arrows, she scolded, and the long whip continued to swing at Ge Mo, but the person turned to the right and turned sideways.Only in the middle of the air did she feel a heart-piercing pain in her thigh, causing her to stagger to the ground when she touched the ground, bleeding profusely and unable to stand up again. With a sound of "click", the long whip lashed at Ge Mo's crossbow machine, which was held up to block, and the solid crossbow machine was fired immediately, which shows how fierce the whip is with Wushuang Nu's hatred for her subordinates. Ge Mo jumped up with the strength of his waist, ignoring the Wushuang girl who was lying aside, he unleashed his epee and rushed towards Gu Yueming. Wu Zixu leaned against Gu Yueming and sat on the ground, tremblingly said: "Can this dispel her hatred?" Gu Yueming knew that the object of Wu Zixu's words was not him, but Goddess Yunmeng, and at the same time, she thought that not only Wu Zixu was finished, but Wushuang's life was also in danger, because the arrows shot from the Gemo crossbow machine were poisoned arrows. At this moment, he re-entered the realm of despair, ruthless and lonely swordsman. The epee slashed towards Gu Yueming's forehead. The torch that Gu Yueming held high in his hand fell down quickly, raising thousands of sparks, and the entire square behind the ancient city gate was suddenly lit up, and then hit Ge Mo's eyes, ignoring the enemy's deadly weapon. How did Ge Mo think that Gu Yueming would have such a move, if the move remained the same, Gu Yueming's head would surely explode, but he could not protect his eyes and his whole face was burned, then he would rather die at that time, and he knew better if he forced it Changing tactics, when Gu Yue understood that the moment Lu Yu got out of the sheath, his defeat and death would only happen sooner or later.After fighting several times, he already knew how powerful Gu Yueming is. Ge Mo yelled wildly, and used his unique skill to stop the momentum abruptly with the strength of his barefoot thumb. The epee drew a circle in the air, then fell sideways, and rolled away. When he was three feet away from Gu Yueming, Ge Mo jumped up from the ground, and there was a sound of breaking wind behind him. Gomo turned back to strike with his sword. "when--" The epee hit the Bailuyu thrown from the back. Ge Mo looked at Gu Yueming, who knelt beside Wu Zixu on one knee, supported him to lie down on the ground with his right hand, and still held the torch in his left hand, his eyes first fell on the Wushuang woman who fell to the ground, and then looked at Ge Mo, with an expressionless expression Worrying and joyless, but his eyes were determined, shining a strange light that Ge Mo had never seen before. Gu Yueming slowly stood up from the ground and pulled out the Wan sword. Ge Mo didn't know why he felt chills in his heart, knowing that he wanted to kill him but would not be able to, so he let go of his anger, so he was frightened by his aura of seeing death as home, his heart moved, he turned around and ran towards the road built along the wall and spiraling up to the top of the mountain go.
