"What, what's going on? Is it haunted?" Xu Baozhu was about to cry.
"No, it's just an illusion. What we see is what this city looked like before." After Gu Qingxi finished speaking, she walked over.
Xu Baozhu followed beside him weeping. Fang Jingxue originally had her hand on the hilt of the sword ready to draw the sword, but when she saw Gu Qingxi walking over with a calm expression, she also followed him.
Soon, Xu Baozhu and Fang Jingxue understood the meaning of Gu Qingxi's words.
They were walking on this busy street, but no one on the street seemed to be able to see them. Moreover, they could pass through these people's bodies.
Sure enough, what they saw was only what the city looked like before.
After confirming that it was not a ghost, Xu Baozhu gradually became more courageous. She walked to a street vendor to watch others selling things.
"Hey, Qingxi, look at this hairpin, it's quite pretty." Xu Baozhu said, pointing to a jade hairpin on the stall.
The hosta is not made of any good jade, but its appearance is very special. It looks like a dragonfly, lifelike. I don't know what the thin wings are made of, and they will tremble slightly as the wind blows.
"Miss Xu has a really good eye. This hosta was made by my grandfather in the early years. There was no good material at that time. My grandfather made it later and forgot about it. I found it today." The vendor said with a smile.
Xu Baozhu's heart trembled. Is this vendor talking to herself?
But soon, Xu Baozhu was frightened and put his heart back to its original position.
A girl in luxurious clothes stopped in front of the vendor's stall, picked up this hosta and looked at it carefully.
"Wow, there used to be a girl with the same surname as me in this city." Xu Baozhu patted her chest, passed through the girl Xu, and ran to Gu Qingxi's side, saying with lingering fear. At that time, she was still
She thought the hawker was calling her, and she was scared out of her wits, but she still felt safe with Qing Xi.
Gu Qingxi was looking at Miss Xu. She was not a beautiful girl, but she felt very gentle. She was followed by two maids and two guards. In addition to having the same surname as Xu Baozhu, Miss Xu was also slightly fat.
"Eh? She looks a bit like me?" Xu Baozhu was also looking at Miss Xu. Then her heart, which had just calmed down, became frightened by this discovery.
"Hey, Qingxi, why do you look a bit like me? I'm so scared. What is the test in this illusion? Will there be people who look like you and Fang Jingxue appearing soon? We won't be left behind.
Are you in this illusion?" Xu Baozhu trembled.
"Don't be afraid." Gu Qingxi patted Xu Baozhu's chubby hand and comforted her softly.
Then Gu Qingxi watched Miss Xu buy a hairpin and slowly walk around the street with her maid. Many people greeted her, and she also smiled and greeted people in the city.
"What is her identity? Why do so many people in the city seem to know her?" Xu Baozhu muttered in a low voice.
Before Gu Qingxi could speak, they soon knew the identity of this girl.
She is the daughter of the city lord.
"Miss, please go back quickly. The Lord of the City asked you to go back quickly. Mr. Lou has already arrived." A guard from a distance ran over, and when he arrived in front of Miss Xu, he bowed and said.
"Is Lou Baiyi here?" A smile appeared on Miss Xu's face, and she walked forward faster.
Gu Qingxi and the others followed. Gu Qingxi always felt that the key to this test was this girl Xu.
After arriving at the impressive City Lord's Mansion, Gu Qingxi and the others naturally encountered no obstruction. They followed Miss Xu into the City Lord's Mansion and saw Mr. Lou whom the guards mentioned in the living room.
This Mr. Lou is gentle and polite, with a handsome face and a tall posture. Although he is wearing armor, he has the temperament of a scholar.
"Bao'er!" When the young man named Lou Baiyi saw Miss Xu, his expression became softer, and his eyes were full of affection when he looked at Miss Xu.
"You, why are you here? Aren't you on an expedition?" Miss Xu suppressed the joy in her heart and asked doubtfully.
"We are going west to provide support. When we passed by here, I stopped by to see you." Lou Baiyi said with a smile.
This man in white clothes looks gentle and elegant, but I didn't expect him to be a military commander. And his official position seems to be quite high.
"Ahem, I'm going to have a cup of tea first while you chat. Bao'er, don't delay Bai Yi. Bai Yi can only stay for two quarters of an hour." The city lord coughed twice on the side and hurried out without waiting for the two juniors to say anything.
.
The two young men were left talking to each other inside.
"Her surname is Xu, also called Bao'er..." Xu Baozhu shivered again. She always felt that something was wrong with this illusion. It was so scary.
Gu Qingxi also felt that something was wrong, but what exactly was wrong?
I always feel that this illusion seems to be aimed at Xu Baozhu. Why?
The time in this illusion suddenly began to speed up, and Gu Qingxi and the others also finished watching the story.
The city lord and the eldest lady are both loved by the people. Lou Baiyi is a general, and he and the eldest lady are childhood sweethearts. They are in love and have already made an appointment to get married. They are waiting to get married after retreating from the enemy.
The enemy army had originally been repulsed. However, hundreds of people who fled from the enemy army were waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. So they lurked in the city and sought revenge on the enemy general. Naturally, they killed the enemy general's most beloved person.
The enemy attacked, and although the city lord organized guards to resist, they were still defeated.
The enemy troops were burning, killing and looting in the city, and the city was in chaos.
When Lou Baiyi learned the news, he led his troops to rush back as soon as possible.
However, after entering the city, he saw a scene that left his eyes open. The eldest lady was shot through the chest by the enemy leader in order to protect a child.
Blood splattered and the whole world seemed to turn red.
Although Lou Baiyi led his men to annihilate all the enemy troops, he could never get back the fat girl who loved to smile.
Everyone is urging him to express his condolences.
He said nothing and locked himself in the room.
Finally, a cold and cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Since she is no longer here, let's destroy everything."
He sealed off the entire city and set up a soul-suppressing array. It turned out that he had seen this kind of evil spell in a secret book before.
He wanted all the citizens to be buried with her.
She lost her life to save these city residents, why should these city residents still be alive?
"It's too much!" Fang Jingxue clenched her fists. The dead citizens were all the people the eldest lady wanted to protect, and among them were infants. Children and innocent people!
Xu Baozhu looked pale, covered in cold sweat, and murmured: "It's too cruel. Everyone is dead, and their souls can't be reincarnated. They are all trapped here..." She also saw a three or four-year-old girl.
, she watched blankly as her parents died and then died slowly. When Lou Baiyi and Miss Xu were shopping, she even gave them a flower.
Gu Qingxi narrowed her eyes slightly and let out a sigh in her heart while talking to the Ancestor Wan Ling: "A boar with a love brain really doesn't know how to do anything."
Ancestor Wanling once again lamented the little devil’s poisonous tongue, it is really poisonous!
"Do you think what Lou Baiyi did is right? Answer immediately, otherwise you will fail the test if you don't give the true answer from your heart." A voice suddenly rang in the ears of the three of them.
