In order to hide their identities, Xiao Chengyi and others changed their appearance when entering the country and transformed into three brothers and sisters. On the way, they saw a teahouse and stopped to rest.
Seeing the guests, the owner of the teahouse hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "Guys, please take a seat."
After Xiao Chengyi sat down, he asked the boss for a pot of tea, and then asked, "Brother, do you know how far away is Fengdu?"
The boss's expression changed when he heard the words "Fengdu". He lowered his voice and said, "Are you going to Fengdu?"
Xiao Chengyi explained: "We three brothers went to Fengdu to find a relative. It's just our first time here in Fengdu, so we don't know much about it."
The boss asked: "Can't you contact this relative of yours?"
Xiao Chengyi followed his words and pretended to be surprised: "How did you know? Our relative really couldn't be contacted, so he came over to have a look."
The boss said: "You don't know, this Fengdu has become a ghost town now.
It is said that this city is haunted. Many people have disappeared. There are often women crying in the middle of the night. Even during the day, it is eerie.
People from hundreds of miles away avoid this place, it’s very evil anyway, so I advise you not to go there.”
When Mu Yun'an heard the legend about Fengdu, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Don't the people in the imperial court care about it?"
The boss looked disdainful: "Why do you care? Fengdu is just a small town. Even if the county magistrate is an official, he can't fight against ghosts and gods, right?"
In short, this Fengdu is just a ghost town. Outsiders dare not approach it, and no one knows the situation inside. You are outsiders and don’t know how powerful it is inside."
Wen Qiyu asked: "Then when did the haunting in Fengdu begin?"
The boss poured tea for them, thought for a moment and said, "It's been about three years."
Everyone's eyes narrowed, it had been three years, but the court didn't know that there must be a ghost in this.
"Please use it for your convenience."
The boss said this and then went to greet other guests.
After the boss walked away, Mu Yun'an asked in a low voice: "Did the imperial court never mention the fact that Fengdu is haunted?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Of course not. It has been four years since the Fengdu County Magistrate took office, and he has never mentioned the matter of being haunted. Fengdu belongs to Youzhou, and the Youzhou prefect has never mentioned it."
Wen Qiyu frowned and said, "This matter is really strange. It seems that we are in the right place this time."
A haunted Fengdu, but I don’t know what hidden secrets it hides.
Xiao Chengyi and others finished their tea and continued on their way. Finally, in the afternoon, they arrived at Fengdu.
At this time, the setting sun was about to fall, and the red afterglow shone on the stone carving with the word "Fengdu" on the city gate, giving it a strange feeling.
I looked at the city gate that was half open, but there was no one there.
Xiao Chengyi and others got off their horses and entered the city on foot, when a dark wind suddenly hit them.
Mu Yun'an shivered and felt a chill on her back. Xiao Chengyi held her hand tightly. He looked up and saw that the street was empty, and the road was a little dirty, as if no one had cleaned it for a long time.
At this time, a strong wind blew, and paper money fell from the sky, while the city gate behind them closed with a bang.
The sky gradually darkened, a layer of white mist appeared on the street, and the lanterns on the roadside lit up one after another, emitting a faint red light.
This scene is horrifying no matter how you look at it.
Xiao Chengyi's eyes darkened, he looked at the dim lights on the road and said, "Let's go, find a place to stay."
