Chapter 100 Year 1 Instant Prosperity Falls

"Was this jar here from the beginning?" Lin Hong asked suspiciously.

They came to the haunt of the ghost town.The sun has just set on the horizon, the stars have not yet reached the sky, and the sandbar is resting in a blurred purple.

The wind has brought the coolness of the night.

Before another wave of people arrived, and before Kavantia appeared, they wandered around for a while.

Here, Lin Hong found a jar half buried in the yellow sand - the color of the soil, the surface was rough, without any delicate patterns.

"But yesterday when we were looking for those three people, we wandered around and didn't see it." Lin Hong recalled.

"It's windy during the day." Yu Tianyi said, crossing his arms.

"Indeed." Du Yunfan had already put on his fur coat at this time, "I was sleeping next to the gap just now, shivering by the wind." He seemed to recall the coldness at that time, and tightened his fur coat.

It's not like someone sleeping in someone else's arms...

— so the wind blows away the sand, and the pot buried in the sand is exposed.

"Tsk... No, I always feel that I have seen it somewhere before." Lin Hong rubbed his chin and looked at the jar seriously.

He squatted down, pulling the sand around it with his slender hands, trying to expose it completely.

"I'll help you." As soon as Cheng Jinjiu squatted down, he heard Wan Guchuan warn: "Be careful!"

In the sound of "booming", the sand around them suddenly became soft and began to move!

"Boom boom boom"!

The sand in front continued to sink, and the quicksand poured into it!

"Boom boom boom"!

The noise is getting louder!

A big hole opened in the sand!

Grains of sand with a radius of hundreds of miles swarmed inside!

The pot in front of them also slid into it along with the quicksand!

"Boom boom boom"!

Everyone was stunned by the accident.

"Damn!" Cheng Jinjiu cursed, his feet sank into the sand.

His sound brought the stunned people back to their senses. They felt the movement of the sand and began to back away.

Lin Hong wanted to retreat, but the quicksand held his feet tightly, and his hand that was supporting the ground was about to lose its strength.

The speed of the quicksand subsidence is extremely fast, and it is sweeping in mighty force!

"Boom boom boom"!

Dusty!

The twilight suddenly became cloudy.

At the very moment, Wan Guchuan grabbed his waist with one hand, grabbed Cheng Jinjiu's back collar with the other, and pulled them up vigorously.

"Run!" His deep voice overwhelmed the sound of quicksand.

Everyone reacted, and started running desperately against the direction of the quicksand collapse!

Wan Guchuan let go of Cheng Jinjiu's collar, tightly grabbed Lin Hong's wrist, and ran with him.

The crowd followed behind them, fleeing desperately.

"Boom boom boom"!

The sound of surging sand waves is chasing after a group of people!

"What's going on!" Peng Ruo'an cursed.

"Boom boom boom"!

"Ah!" Dai, who was at the back of the line, fell slightly.

Ning Xiuyun, who was the closest, was startled, turned back, and pulled her with both hands, but just after pulling her up, she fell down again, unable to stand up at all.

"I sprained my ankle...it hurts...it hurts..." Dai Weiwei held Ning Xiuyun's hand tightly, looked up at her, frowned, looked pitiful, and his voice trembled, " Sister Ning, I sprained my ankle...don't leave me...don't leave me..."

"Boom boom boom"!

In the bang, the quicksand has spread rapidly!

The mighty momentum will swallow everything!

The sky is full of dust!

Ning Xiuyun turned pale with fright.

Peng Ruo'an rushed over and hugged Dai Qingqing, and said to Ning Xiuyun, "Run!"

Seeing that the matter was resolved, the people in front continued to flee forward.

"Boom boom boom"!

The sound of sand waves never stops.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Lin Hong's legs became weak, thanks to Wan Guchuan pulling him and dragging him.

He felt like his lungs were exploding.

The roar behind finally stopped.

A group of people collapsed on the desert, only Wan Guchuan was still standing.

The mysterious Kavantia appeared in the quicksand.

Stretching for hundreds of miles, it stands in a patchwork manner.

A vigorous force rushed over.

It was just that this giant stretched its waist, yawned, and was resurrected from a millennium of sluggishness.

Just now, because they were standing in the center of Kavantia, sand waves emerged from the city, forcing them to run towards the edge of the city to make room for this tyrannical giant.

Running from the center of a huge city to the edge of the city in one breath, how exhausting it is, and at such a speed - it is too fatal!

Cheng Jinjiu panted for a while with his waist propped up, and then couldn't help but sat down again.

Yu Tian also sat on the ground and crazily poured wine.

Dai gently sat on the ground with tears hanging down and pinched her ankle.

Du Yunfan and Ning Xiuyun were also choking, panting heavily.

Peng Ruo'an was sweating profusely, lying on the sandy ground, he was even more exhausted when he hugged someone to run just now.

Lin Hong sat, gasping for breath with dull eyes from exhaustion.

Wan Guchuan stood beside him, "Are you all right?"

"Fortunately..." Lin Hong glanced at him, thinking that the general's physical strength is good.

After running so desperately for a long time, there must be something wrong with this leg. Don't be so sore that you can't walk by then, because you will die if you can't walk in the dangerous place.

Thinking about it, Lin Hong lowered his head and began to rub his sore legs, his sleeves pulled up, and he saw the red marks on his wrists that were pinched by Wan Guchuan.

He froze for a few breaths.

His heart, which was already beating violently because he had escaped just now, was beating even more violently, causing him a throbbing pain.

For no reason, he thought of Daowen Hanshan and Leranshanren.This is a loving couple.

When the avalanche was approaching, Dao Wen held on to Le Ran so tightly, right?

But still lost in the irresistible force...

If he lost himself, would Wan Guchuan be as anxious as Dao Wen...

If he died, would he be sad?

Lin Hong was thinking wildly, Wan Guchuan had already squatted down in front of him, pinching his calf with a big hand.

Lin Hong was taken aback, and regained consciousness in an instant.

The hands began to knead gently.

He could feel the warmth of his palm through his pants.

Lin Hong:? ? ?

Wan Guchuan's tall figure is squatting, his eyes are downcast, his eyebrows and eyelashes are black, his roots are straight, his face is cut like a knife, his lips... lips...

Lin Hong looked at him, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and his voice was hoarse, "What are you doing?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to walk later, so I'll have to carry it on your back." Wan Guchuan answered lightly and fluently.

Lin Hong thought for a while, no, his brain was numb, he couldn't think at all, and he didn't even think that what they were doing at this time was beyond the normal friendship, he just tensed his back, and said indiscriminately: "Oh...Brother Wan So thoughtful."

Wan Guchuan raised an eyebrow, raised his eyes to look at him, and said teasingly, "What? Are you going to give me a reward?"

Lin Hong laughed angrily, "That's not bad."

"I think so too." Wan Guchuan thought of something else and said coldly.

Lin Hong: "..."

Cheng Jinjiu bumped Peng Ruo'an next to him with his elbow, motioning him to look.

Peng Ruo'an was so exhausted from rushing with Dai Qingwei in his arms just now. At this moment, he frowned with a pair of sword eyebrows, panting, and looked in the direction he indicated. His angle was very good——

Wan Guchuan squatted in front of Lin Hong and squeezed his legs seriously.

Lin Hong secretly looked at Wan Guchuan.

Peng Ruo'an: "..."

Then, he silently pinched his swollen and sore calf.

The purple of the sky faded, and the desert half-closed its eyes in a deep black.

The lights of Kavantia came on one after another.

When they regained their breath and reached the city gate, another group of people just happened to come from a distance—ten people, one of them was quite a few.

"Hey, are you eating and sleeping here?" Someone's voice was sharp, looking at the disgraced eight people with a sense of gloating.

Taking a closer look, this person was the first wealthy businessman to stand up and criticize Yu Tianyi, with a wicked face and a big belly.

Someone else laughed, "What? Didn't you say that the porridge was poisonous? Thanks to you leaving, I drank three bowls!"

"I don't want to wait for a good place, but I have to fall out and run out to suffer. What are you trying to do! It also broke a pot of porridge!"

"I paid for the porridge!"

"I just said it's okay, I still don't believe it!"

"What could be the problem!"

"I just want to see their deflated expressions, it's really interesting hahahaha."

"The hostess is very nice! She has a kind heart."

Yu Tian also crossed his arms and sneered.

Cheng Jinjiu rubbed his chin, is that couple really okay?

"Say less!" Some of them scolded them.

The leader, Fang Louxi, bowed to the eight people and said politely, "Nothing happened."

He greeted them a few more words, intending to persuade them to return to the group.

Lin Hong glanced at Yu Tianyi, and seeing her contemptuous expression, he knew that she would definitely not go back, so he politely declined Fang Louxi.

Fang Louxi sighed, "Then let's enter the city now."

When he passed by Du Yunfan, he reached out and patted Du Yunfan on the shoulder.

Du Yunfan pursed his lips, showing embarrassment.

Today's Cavantia is very different—there are far fewer shops, and the flow of people has become thinner.At a glance, the windows of many buildings are all dark, and several buildings are connected, half empty.

You can clearly feel the cold atmosphere that is different from yesterday.

It is no longer the grand scene of yesterday.

"There are fewer people."

"It feels less lively than yesterday."

"A lot of shops are closed."

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

"Big change, how many years have passed?"

……

Everyone was discussing, but Lin Hong's eyes were on both sides of the city gate.

Against the wall, there are large and small earthen jars.

The jars seemed to have been here yesterday and the day before, and the day before he had boasted about them.

There is a jar that is very slender, with a slightly bulged body and the thinnest neck. The body has no pattern and has a rough texture.

Such jars are not common, and because they are rare, I always feel that they have a special sense of beauty and are easy to identify. Lin Hong recognized it——

"This jar is exactly the one that was half-hidden in the yellow sand just now."

"Indeed." Cheng Jinjiu confirmed him, and he also looked carefully at the jar when he and Lin Hong were digging it up.

"Is there anything special?" Peng Ruo'an also took a look.

"Perhaps it's just the pots of the ruins accidentally exposed to the sand." Ning Xiuyun guessed.

"It can only mean that the place where it appeared during the day is the former site of Kavantia." Du Yunfan wrapped his fur coat tightly.

"This pot is quite tall." Lin Hong compared, his height can be considered excellent, and the pot actually reached his chest.

He lowered his head and glanced into the jar. It was dark, but he smelled a faint smell.

He frowned and rubbed his nose, "I don't know how long this jar has been stored, what was it in it, it just doesn't smell very good."

Beside him, Wan Guchuan also looked down at the mouth of the jar, frowned and looked at Lin Hong, hesitating to speak.

Lin Hong just covered his nose and didn't notice his expression.

"Forget about this jar! It's the third day, and we haven't found the grieving ghost yet." Cheng Jinjiu resentfully.

"Let's go, let's go into the city and ask." Lin Hong walked towards the city.

Dai Weiwei limped and walked very slowly, she stepped forward and pulled Laning Xiuyun's sleeve.

Ning Xiuyun looked back at her.

Dai Weiwei's voice was soft and soft, "Sister Ning...just now...I'm sorry just now, I was too scared, I shouldn't have grabbed you...I should have let you run away...don't be angry, okay? ..." As he spoke, he was a little choked up.

Ning Xiuyun was quite frightened just now, but now seeing her like this, her heart softened, thinking that she was just too scared just now, "It's fine as long as it's okay."

Dai Weiwei's expression relaxed a little, and she whispered: "Thank you, Sister Ning, for coming back to pull me."

There were a lot fewer people on the street, and Lin Hong finally found a woman who looked good at talking, and he found that he could hear people talking in this city that was no longer bustling!

If you don’t ask, you don’t know, but if you ask, you will be shocked-240 years have passed!

"240 years!" The entire group was shocked.

One day on the sandbar, so much time has passed in the city.

"What time is it now..." Lin Hong began to calculate.

——The 380th year of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was the most turbulent 50 years in the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

The Wei country's wars continued to go south, catching Nan Zhou, who had been smoothing his minions in comfort for nearly a hundred years, by surprise.

The majestic country in the northern border has coveted the fertile soil of the Southern Zhou Dynasty for a long time, lurking in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to move.

However, the ancestors of the Southern Zhou Dynasty had no worries about food and clothing for generations in the gentle countryside. They have indulged in sensuality for 400 years, and they have long lost the iron blood and wrists of the five kingdoms fighting for hegemony.

The wolf nature in the blood of the ancestors is diluted by alcohol, and the roar that shakes the world is now melodious in the flute.

Qinse's precious wood was touched to shine, but the blade was rusted in the treasury.

The melting of weapons made wine bottles, and the smoke of beacon fires turned into bright lights that lasted all night in the city.

At this time, it is a good opportunity.

The great country went south brazenly, and Nan Zhou was in a panic, put down his pipa in a hurry, even forgot the posture of holding the knife, and the halberd and spear he swung were weak and weak.

The emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty conscripted troops among the people, mobilizing the strength of the whole country to resist the Wei army.

People are not living.

The lame woman is very talkative, and she talked a lot with Lin Hong and the others:

More than 200 years ago, General Huo Feipeng defeated Mengnuo and opened up another shortcut to the Western Regions. The flow of people in Kavantia gradually decreased.

But now that the country is in turmoil, who still wants to come to Cavantia?It is still difficult for thousands of households to protect themselves. Who has the spare energy to go to the Western Regions to do business through this place?Food and grass are insufficient, food and clothing are still difficult, who needs wine from the Western Regions?

"Thank you." Lin Hong thanked the limping woman.

"Why can I hear human voice again?" Cheng Jinjiu was puzzled.

Peng Ruo'an sighed: "And 250 years have passed."

"Who...can live for 250 years..." Dai Qingqing's face turned livid.

The time span of the haunted ghosts that created this world spanned 250 years.

And so far they have not been able to find the grieving ghost.

Lin Hong felt that something must have gone wrong.

But what went wrong...

Did the three missing find something?
