Li Danqing, who was drowsily sleeping, was awakened by a rushing sound in his ears.
He rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, opened his eyes impatiently, and muttered: "When did you let me get up?"
Although he said this, when he opened his eyes, he was greeted by bright sunlight.
Li Danqing couldn't help but feel a little dazed. The sleepiness in his heart had not completely dissipated. He felt as if he had only slept for a while. How come it was already dawn?
"Master! You finally woke up!" Xing Shuangshuang's voice came at this time.
Li Danqing turned his head to look at the other party, and seeing the anxious look on his face, Li Danqing felt strange. He sat up, shook his head, and dispelled some of the sleepiness in his mind, and said: "This prince is just
You overslept, why do you look like I'm going to die?"
Xing Shuangshuang had no intention of teasing Li Danqing. She pointed around and said loudly: "Sir, look where we are!?"
Li Danqing was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously turned his head to look around. This eye-catching scene made Li Shizi, who claimed to be well-informed, startled and stood up from the Grand Master's chair as if he was electrocuted.
His expression was stunned, and he looked around in disbelief.
He remembered clearly that before he fell asleep, he was clearly at an inn called Chuifan in Sihai City. Although this inn was not top-notch and far from worthy of his status as Prince Li, it was clean and tidy after all. But what was in front of him?
There are ruins all around, the wooden walls are rotten and covered with cobwebs. The wooden table that was previously covered with wine and fruits is indeed covered with dust. The porcelain plate is full of maggots and some indiscernible black rotten matter.
There was an indescribable stench permeating the door, and just a slight sniff made people feel sick to their stomachs.
"Have we been blinded by the mountain spirit and fallen into a ghost's nest?" Li Danqing took a while to react and murmured.
He had heard similar stories in some books or from storytellers in the past.
Most of those stories are about scholars or hunters who encounter a family while walking in the mountains. Most of these families have one or several beautiful daughters. After moving in,
After a night of lingering with the girl, I woke up to find that the beautiful buildings and buildings of yesterday had turned into ruins, and the delicious delicacies had turned into snakes, scorpions and poisonous insects.
Although Li Danqing never believed in these ghost stories, the situation in front of him looked like the plots written in those stories.
"Young Master fell asleep just now. I wanted to cover him with a thin blanket, but suddenly there was a heavy fog outside, and I passed out. After the situation came to an end, this was the scene." Xing Shuangshuang's face turned pale,
He looked frightened and uneasy.
"Dense fog?" Li Danqing frowned when he heard this. He looked at Xing Shuangshuang and asked, "You mean after the heavy fog, this place became like this?"
Xing Shuangshuang shook his head in distress and said: "I don't know either. I fainted as soon as the fog came. When I woke up, I found myself lying on the ground and the young master lying on this broken chair."
Hearing this, Li Danqing turned his head and looked at the Taishi chair where he was lying just now. He saw that the fine wooden chair was now in a state of decay, and there were some unknown insects crawling on it. Li Danqing suddenly felt an itching on his back, and hurriedly
Scratched.
"Master! What the hell is going on!" Xing Shuangshuang's voice sounded at this time, pulling Li Danqing back from his thoughts. At this moment, the girl's face turned pale and her body was trembling. She was obviously attracted by the weird thing in front of her.
The scene was quite scary.
Not to mention this Xing Shuangshuang, even Li Danqing himself felt creepy at the moment. He quickly comforted and said: "Don't be afraid, maybe it's just a deception. Where do ghosts come from in this world? If there are, my old man is also a great hero among ghosts.
, there are people over there, don’t be afraid!”
After hearing this, Xing Shuangshuang raised his head and looked at Li Danqing. His eyes flickered and his cheeks turned a strange flush, which was pitiful. He said, "Then the young master will definitely protect Shuangshuang, right?"
As she said this, she was about to throw herself into Li Danqing's arms, but Prince Li's expression suddenly changed and he muttered, "By the way, where are Yanzhen and the others!?"
As he spoke, he suddenly turned around and walked quickly outside the house. Xing Shuangshuang was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a plop, looking quite embarrassed...
…
Li Danqing kicked open the rickety door and walked out of the room. The lobby of the inn was as dilapidated as the door, but the disgusting stench became stronger. He frowned.
Hold your nose and follow
Following his memory, he came to the room where Liu Yanzhen and others lived, and kicked open the doors one by one, but there was not a single person in sight.
"Where did Sister Yanzhen and the others go?" Li Danqing kicked open several doors in succession, but no one was there. He couldn't help but frown. Xing Shuangshuang, who followed behind him, also looked surprised and asked worriedly.
Li Danqing naturally had no way to answer this question. He just frowned and searched from one room to another, and then headed towards the inn lobby on the first floor, but found nothing. No matter Liu Yanzhen and others, or the innkeeper's waiter, they all found nothing.
At this moment, there was no trace...
Waves of cold evil energy began to appear between Li Danqing's brows. He lowered his head and whispered to himself: "Who is causing trouble?"
Li Danqing has always cared about his companions. He can accept some conspiracies and tricks falling on him, such as the disciples of Sangshan he met in Yaoxu City. But he cannot bear to take action against his companions!
"Sir! Look! There are people on the street!" At this moment, Xing Shuangshuang beside him suddenly said.
Li Danqing was stunned and looked outside through the dilapidated door of the inn. He did see a figure moving on the street. He hurried out at this time, grabbed a pedestrian and asked, "What's going on with this inn?"
?Where have the people inside gone?”
But as soon as this question came out of his mouth, Li Danqing froze on the spot.
It wasn't because the other party gave some shocking answer, but because of his gentle tug, he tore off the pedestrian's arm and his clothes...
Li Danqing was startled, and Xing Shuangshuang, who was following behind him, obviously did not expect such a situation and let out a scream at that time.
But the pedestrian whose arm was torn off turned his head and looked at Li Danqing. At this time, Li Danqing also saw clearly what he looked like. He was actually a skin and bones that seemed to have been drained of flesh and blood.
Li Danqing secretly felt that his scalp was numb and his feet were trembling and he took a step back.
But at this moment, the pedestrian stretched out his hand, took back his other arm from Li Danqing's hand, embedded it on his shoulder, and then squeezed out a sinister smile on his skeleton-like face.
, said.
"Young Master is a new face, but he also comes to participate in our Chaoge City's sacrificial ceremony?"
