Chapter 69: Return with Broken Wings

  "After stopping, Gān Wèi said: 'The taste in front of me has a hint of rot and decay, but I also heard some strange sounds coming from it, like the sound of silkworms trying to break free from their cocoons.'"

  Jiang Fengshui arrived at this place and naturally observed it carefully. Everything in front of him was reflected in his eyes.

  Gan Wei Mo said to Jiang Yun Shui: "Young brother, want to follow this old bone to take a look?"

  If Jiang Fengshui were to be put in the past, he would absolutely not have been able to follow this old and young pair into that place, but after witnessing the cunning of Gan Wei's sidekick, he had absolute confidence in this trip.

  Then Jiang Yingshui replied: "In that case, I'll go with Senior Gan."

  He Gan's face was filled with a heroic spirit, and he smiled slightly before proceeding forward to the city ahead, supported by the young boy, while Jiang Yunshui naturally followed alongside.

  Dai Sanren and others arrived at the city gate. Gan Wei Mo asked Jiang Yunshui: "What is written on the gate tower of this city?"

  Jiang Fengshui is now looking up, but the place where the words are written on the city gate is blocked by some plants, and Jiang Fengshui can't see what's written there either.

  After hearing what Jiang Yunshui said, Gan Wei Mo pointed to the top of the city gate and the little boy standing beside him kicked his left foot back. Then, under Jiang Yunshui's stunned gaze, the little boy actually climbed up the nearly three-zhang-high city gate like a gecko.

  Moreover, the vegetation as thick as a man's leg was torn away in one go. The Gan Wei Mo asked again: "Jiang Xiao brother, can you see what is written on it this time?"

  Jiang Fengshui looked up and saw that on the city gate tower, there were four words written: "Fengdu Xiancheng"! The font was also silver hook iron painting, which truly had a kind of overwhelming momentum, as if it had appeared from above.

  Gan Wei Mo knew what the city was called, and then he sneered: "It really has a grand vision, actually wanting to be a ghost among the immortals. I heard about this burial ground back in the day, but I didn't expect to see it after losing my sight. It's not in vain that Gan Wei Mo lived for so many years!"

  At this time, the little boy came down from under the city wall and arrived at Gan Wei's side. Jiang Yunshui looked at the little boy with a gaze that was both surprised and admiring, and he couldn't help but look up to him even more.

  He arrived at the entrance of the city wall without a gate and said, "This is really fierce, daring to be so open, I don't know if you want to catch a turtle in a jar or let this blind man turn your Lingyin Xiancheng upside down!"

  Without any fear, after entering the city, that Gan Wei said: "Be careful, don't be like me just now."

  Jiang Fengshui had actually been on guard since before entering this place, and now he was even more so, looking around in all directions. However, apart from the lamp wicks placed inside the oil platforms, which were emitting a faint green glow, there was nothing else out of the ordinary in the city.

  The more this happened, the more uneasy Jiang Yunshui and Gan Weibai became. After they walked onto that street in the city, those houses which originally had their doors and windows tightly closed suddenly opened one after another, and many people came out from inside!

  But these people all looked like they were walking corpses, without a single bit of vitality. Then Gan Wei said: "Jiang Xiao brother, didn't you see some 'people' coming out from the house?"

  Jiang Yunshui nodded and said: "Not bad, and there are quite a few."

  "This should be 'the corpse doesn't speak'."

  Jiang Fengshui had never heard of this saying, and Gan Wei said: "What is meant by 'the dead do not speak' is that these 'people' are simply unable to speak, they are the guardian corpses of the tomb."

  Just then, a grave guard who was wandering aimlessly suddenly changed direction and walked towards them.

  The little boy standing beside Gan Wei's body immediately stepped forward, and when the tomb guard was about to approach, he pointed with one finger, and saw that the tomb guard fell headfirst.

  Looking at this little kid who actually knocked down a grave guardian zombie with such ease, Jiang Yunshui's hanging heart immediately put down.

  However, a strange change suddenly occurred. The guardian corpse that the little boy had knocked down actually stood up again, and even its eyes emitted some green light that shouldn't be there.

  The tomb guard corpse directly grabbed the little boy, and its speed was as fast as lightning. However, the little boy's speed was not slow either, and he immediately covered his hand with his sleeve before counterattacking the tomb guard corpse's incoming grab.

  The crumbling hand of the tomb guardian shattered directly, and the little boy swung his sleeve lightly, scattering the ash that had fallen on it.

  Jiang Fengshui was retreating backwards, holding onto the reeds, until the little boy had thoroughly beaten the guardian corpse to pieces. Only then did they follow behind the little boy once again, heading in the same direction.

  However, after that one grave guard turned to ashes, all the grave guards in the city moved as one and then they all came towards Jiang Yong and his group.

  These tomb guards gradually forced Jiang Yunshui and his companions to retreat, forcing the three of them to leave the Fantian City.

  Nangong Siyu said, "It seems that entering this city is not as easy as I thought, and Xiaotong has also consumed some physical strength. I think we should leave first and come back tomorrow."

  Jiang Feng didn't have any objections, the danger of this place was no less than that of Emperor's Crown Mountain. Even with Gan Wei and Xiao Tong by their side, the three of them would still be no match for the countless guardian corpses inside.

  That little boy still used that branch to lift himself up, and on top of the sugarcane leaf mat, the donkey with the white fur and the black donkey had actually gathered together.

  "That's right, they are all things of the same spiritual nature."

  Jiang Yunshui asked: "Isn't this donkey also from some extraordinary origin?"

  "That's right," said Na Gan with a smile. "If I told you, you probably wouldn't believe me either. This donkey of mine is the descendant of Zhang Guo Lao's mount after he sat on it. Can you think where it might have gone wrong?"

  Although Gān Wèi Fú said so, Jiāng Yùn Shuǐ didn't quite believe it in her heart. Naturally, Gān Wèi Fú also didn't say much about this matter.

  After the three of them left this place, they went to that village. Jiang Feng gave some money to the beggar and stayed at his home for a night, also letting the beggar buy some food.

  This bachelor has been lonely for a long time, and it's not easy to suddenly have these few people at home. Moreover, that blind man knows a lot, and he can talk about everything with him, making the bachelor so happy that he almost revealed how he was born.

  Although this guy didn't say anything about it, he did mention some other things. He said that the night before last, when he was gambling, some idle village youngsters from outside mentioned in passing that someone very capable would be taking them to dig up treasure, and the location was just outside the village on a deserted beach.

  After hearing this from the vagabond's mouth, Gan Wei and Jiang Yunshui wanted to get some more information out of him, but the vagabond only knew so much, so the two people didn't ask any further questions in the end.

  However, they also knew that the place where they went down today was also being watched by someone, and those who could see that the place was abnormal were absolutely not ordinary people. This person must have gone there because of the unusual appearance of the place.

  After that night, Jiang Fengshui and Gan Weibao didn't go there again because Xiao Tong had gone into seclusion, and according to Gan Weibao it would still take some time.

  So today, Jiang Yunshui and Gan Wei still followed the rogue to that small gambling house. In fact, it's not a real casino, but just a private place where some people gather to gamble.

  When Jiang Yunshui and Gan Wei followed the rascal to the gambling house, they were led by the guide to the front of the gambling table.

  Nangong Siyu whispered to Jiang Mian's ear, "Let me show you my gambling skills."
