    Chapter 292

    Hearing the news that Bailichi told them, Wen Qiao and the four all looked a little strange.

    But it was only for a moment that Ning Yuzhou restrained the expression on his face, and said gently and sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Baili, for telling me, if it wasn't for you, we might have waited forever."

    It's rare for Pei Qiyu to not say anything. No matter how he evaluates Bailichi in his heart, don't give up the vested benefits in vain.

    Bailichi didn't pay much attention to the tunnel and said, "It's nothing, even if I don't tell you, you should be able to perceive it."

    Ning Yuzhou just smiled and didn't accept the words, only said: "No matter what, I will accept this feeling! If I am lucky enough to enter the Thirteenth House of Dry Bones, and Young Master Baili has something to ask for, I will wait. Will not sit back and watch.”

    "That's great." Bailichi said happily.

    Seeing that his pink gums were showing from his smile, it was so stupid that neither Pei Qiyu nor Su Molan knew how to evaluate this person.

    After Bailichi left, the four of them began to wait for dark.

    The sky in Huangu Town was getting dark very quickly, almost in the evening, the sky began to darken, and every household turned on the bone lamps, looking down from the sky, like stars spread out in the darkness.

    Tonight's Huangu Town doesn't seem to be any different. There are still bursts of lively noises from the streets in the distance, as if it were daylight.

    Wen Qiao stood in front of the window, looking at the night sky where the stars and the moon were annihilated, that strange feeling hit her heart again, and there seemed to be some kind of subtle movement in the wind.

    A familiar breath appeared behind him, and an arm passed over her and pressed it by the window, as if wrapping her in his arms.

    Wen Qiao looked up at the man who appeared behind her, his breath completely enveloped her, and at the same time interrupted the message from the wind.

    Wen Qiao stared at his graceful and resolute lower jaw, and said, "Husband, do you think that the night sky in Huangu Town these days is always indescribably weird."

    Ning Yuzhou said, "I didn't see it, but if you say it's weird, it should be."

    Seeing that he believed in him without the slightest doubt, Wen Qiao was very happy and pursed her lips and smiled.

    The two awakened supernatural bloodlines are different, his supernatural bloodline is more in the aspect of assistance, while she is in terms of perception, and is extremely sensitive to the changes in the surrounding environment.

    "What else did you find?" Ning Yuzhou asked.

    Wen Qiao thought for a while, "There's still wind..."

    "wind?"

    "Well, it's the wind! There seems to be a different message in the wind, but unfortunately I can't tell the difference." Wen Qiao was a little distressed, she could clearly feel the abnormality, but she seemed to be covered with a hazy veil, no matter what. unclear.

    Ning Yuzhou thoughtfully looked at Huangu Town in the night.

    The bones are still in the morning, and the bones are in the night... There is no doubt that the bones represent the Thirteen Palaces of the bones, and the night is the night. These are easy to understand, but the combination of the two is very puzzling.

    At this moment, Pei Qiyu and Su Molan came over and told them that there was movement on the second floor.

    "I saw them leaving the inn," said Pleiades.

    "Now?" Wen Qiao asked, and couldn't help but glanced at the night outside the window. Foreign cultivators like them who did not return to the bone town usually wouldn't go out at night. This was more like a tacit understanding.

    "Should we go out and have a look?" Su Molan asked, feeling a little anxious in her heart.

    Bailichi said that tonight would be the night of the full moon, but they started to watch it when it was dark. Not to mention the full moon, they couldn't even see a tiny bit of the moon. It was obviously still a cloudy day. No different.

    But Bailichi shouldn't use this kind of thing to deceive them.

    Pei Qiyu, Wen Qiao, and Su Xing looked at Ning Yuzhou at the same time, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

    Unknowingly, whenever something happened, everyone would first seek Ning Yuzhou's opinion, and vaguely put him at the head. When Pei Qiyu reacted, he realized this subconscious behavior, and secretly pouted, but didn't say anything.

    Ning Yuzhou didn't hesitate for too long, and immediately said, "Let's go out too."

    The four set off with a tool spirit and a small iron-eating beast.

    When leaving, Ning Yuzhou suddenly said, "Take the bone lamp with you."

    Wen Qiao held the bone lamp on the table, Pei Qiyu also brought the bone lamp from the next room, and the four of them walked down the stairs.

    In the quiet night, the squeaking sound made by the bone ladder when bearing the weight was extremely harsh, and the eerie and terrifying atmosphere was invisibly heightened, as if it weighed heavily on people's hearts.

    When they came to the lobby on the first floor, they looked at the counter and didn't see Aunt Hua.

    Madam Hua is the owner of the inn. She usually has nothing to do. She will stay in the lobby of the inn, or squeeze behind the counter, with a strong sense of presence. They found that she rarely left the inn, as if waiting for something.

    The four did not see Aunt Hua, nor did they try to find her, they just opened the door and went out.

    When the door was opened, a gust of wind swept across the face.

    Pei Qiyu's eyes instantly became sharp, looking out of the alley, and said, "This wind is coming from the street."

    Pleiades and Wen Gungun are a little scared next to Wenqiao. They have been in Huangu Town for so long. They haven't gone out at night. At this time every night, they have squeezed into the bed, accompanied by Brother Ning and Sister Wen. into a sweet dreamland.

    "The humidity is very heavy." Su Molan followed, raised her hand and touched her face, feeling wet for a while.

    The existence of this moisture is very strange, but there is no fog rising in Huangu Town. It is the same as usual, but the moisture adheres to the body, as if the nearby water source is very abundant. But Huangu Town was built on a mass grave. Within a radius of 100 miles, there were barren mountains and ridges, not to mention a river, and even a puddle could not be seen.

    The four of them didn't dare to be careless, they walked through the alley holding the bone lamp and came to the only street in Huangu Town.

    The streets are very lively, the lights are brilliant, the doors of every shop are wide open, and there are cultivators talking and laughing inside.

    However, when they saw the situation in the various shops on both sides of the street, they couldn't help but chill.

    Through the open door, it was empty, not a single person. Those noisy sounds are clearly emitted by the bone house, and it can also simulate the sounds of different cultivators, and there is a kind of noise that belongs to the human world everywhere.

    If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they almost thought it was full of guests, and the guests who were drinking were talking as usual, discussing the latest news in the town.

    It turns out that this is how the excitement they hear every night.

    This scene was so weird that it made them shiver from the bottom of their hearts.

    Looking at the bone houses making various sounds and movements on both sides of the street, they soon discovered that those sounds were emanating from the bones built into the bone houses, successfully simulating the sounds of practitioners during the daytime activities.

    "Where are the people in the town?" Su Molan asked softly, her voice trembling.

    There are not many cultivators in Huangu Town, and even because of its particularity, the cultivators it accommodates include spiritual cultivators, evil cultivators, and demon cultivators. These people are not easy to provoke, even if they do not have eyes every day. People died inexplicably, but the population of Huangu Town is still large.

    So many people suddenly disappeared as if overnight, leaving only a white bone town.

    Naturally, Ning Yuzhou and the others didn't know either.

    They looked around, trying to find some clues.

    The third alley is not far from the town entrance. Wen Qiao subconsciously looked in the direction of the town entrance. However, to her astonishment, she used to look up to see the mass grave outside the town, but at this time, there was only one winding road. The bone road that snakes away, don't know where it leads.

    In the other direction, there is no end to the bone road.

    The four people who came out of the alley seemed to be standing in the middle of a bone road that stretched infinitely to both sides.

    "Which way to go?" Pei Qiyu asked the question in everyone's heart.

    The entrance to Bone Town is gone, turning into an infinitely winding bone road.

    Ning Yuzhou turned his head to look at Wen Qiao, and suddenly asked, "Ah, which way do you think we should go?"

    Pei Qiyu and Su Molan looked at Wen Qiao at the same time. Although they didn't understand why Ning Yuzhou let Wen Qiao decide, they didn't ask much.

    Wen Qiao turned her ears to listen to the wind, and closed her eyes to capture the information brought by the wind.

    After a while, she opened her eyes, pointed in the direction of the entrance of Huangu Town, and said, "Let's go this way."

    "it is good."

    Ning Yuzhou took her hand without the slightest hesitation, and walked towards the bone road that winds at the entrance of Guzhen.

    Su Molan and Pei Qiyu quickly followed them.

    The bone road is very long, winding away, and gradually the bone houses on both sides have disappeared, leaving a dark color, that pure blackness can even blind the cultivator, vision and spiritual sense cannot penetrate.

    Only the faint light of the bone lamps they held in their hands illuminated the path under their feet.

    Suddenly, the light of the bone road brightened again.

    The four looked up at the night sky and found the moon came out.

    The bleak moonlight illuminates the bones, allowing people to clearly see the shape of every bone under their feet. The combination of moonlight and bones makes the world more and more eerie.

    "It turns out that tonight is really a full moon night." Su Molan murmured, feeling that Huanguzhen was incredible.

    Who would have thought that the moon would appear in such a place? Huangu Town is indeed as those cultivators said, there is no sun and stars and moon, it only appears in another place.

    But they still can't penetrate the rules.

    Even though Wen Qiao felt something, it was still covered with a layer of gauze, and only vaguely had a concept.

    After don't know how long have gone, the sound of rushing water sounded.

    Pei Qiyu's cultivation base is the highest. He caught the sound of water at the first time, and said cautiously: "There is a sound of water in front of you. Listening to the sound, it should be a river."

    The four of them hurriedly walked.

    As the sound of the water got closer, they finally saw the end of this bone road, where there was a majestic and tall door, which suddenly appeared in the darkness, but people could not ignore it.

    In front of the door stood a huge bone tablet, on which were five blood-colored characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing.

    In the moonlight, they clearly saw the blood around the big bloody characters, like bloody tears, falling down unbearably. The five fonts are obviously very strange, but when they saw it, they instantly understood what it represented:

    Thirteen Houses of Withered Bones.

    When you look closely, this majestic gate is made of several big bones. The shape of the big bones looks like a human thigh bone, but the area is enlarged nearly a hundred times.

    Everyone looked at it for a while, and Ning Yuzhou said, "Go in."

    A group of people walked into the Thirteen Houses of Withered Bones.

    Tonight is a full moon night, and the moonlight is exceptionally bright, allowing them to clearly see this hidden world.

    A river appeared in front, and the murmur of running water made the world quieter.

    When everyone came to the river, the first thing they saw was the fine white sand on the river bank, which was extraordinarily light and delicate, without a trace of impurities. However, if you look closely, you will find the true face of this white sand - it is clearly the bone meal that has been crushed into powder.

    Both sides of the river are covered with white sand like this. How many bones are needed to make them up?

    Xu Shi stayed in Huangu Town for a long time, and lived in a bone house made of human bones every day. The four of them accepted all this well and did not feel any discomfort.

    They looked around and soon found that this river was the only way, and they had to cross the river.

    Ning Yuzhou took out a bone boat.

    Su Molan and Pei Qiyu looked a little confused and asked, "Where did this bone ship come from?"

    "I made it."

    When the bone ship was thrown onto the river, it quickly turned into a normal-sized ship, exuding an earth-level aura. It was only then that the two of them understood that this ship was empty and bone-shaped. In theory, it was clearly a spiritual weapon, and it had nothing to do with evil weapons.

    "Aren't you afraid of being teased by doing this?" Pei Qiyu was a little bit dumbfounded, he didn't understand Ning Yuzhou's brain circuit, even if the bone town was weird, he didn't need to refine the boat directly into the shape of a bone, right?

    A discerning person can see the clues at a glance.

    Ning Yuzhou said casually: "Although it is a spiritual tool, it has a lot of demon bones in it, so it can be considered a bone ship."

    Although the quality of these demon bones is not high, they can be considered to be in line with the characteristics of Huangu Town—the only thing that does not match is the demon bones, not the human bones, so it shouldn’t matter.

    Facts have proved that boats made from demon bones can also be used on this river.

    They didn't control the bone boat and let it go with the current.

    Time passed little by little, Wen Qiao put his hand on the long whip around his waist, and couldn't help but look at the sky, the full moon hanging high in the air showed no sign of sinking, as if it was frozen in the air. The moonlight illuminates the place.

    "Miss Wen, have you noticed that several hours have passed, and it will be dawn soon." Su Molan walked over to Wen Qiao and said softly.

    Wen Qiao nodded and thought, "Maybe the Thirteen Houses of Withered Bones have always been the night of the full moon."

    Su Molan felt that her guess was very likely. Looking at the waterway ahead, the river was the same as the previous bone road. Swaying, the pale moon seemed to be torn apart.

    Not right!

    Su Molan reacted quickly, and a sword slashed a tragic white skeleton that jumped out of the river back into the river.

    In an instant, Wen Qiao and Pei Qiyu quickly summoned their weapons and shot down the skeletons that jumped out of the river. Ning Yuzhou quickly set up a formation on the boat.

    But for a moment, the whole river seemed to be filled with countless skeletons.

    These skeletons are white and miserable, not hideous.

    Their movements are extraordinarily flexible, and the dark eye sockets are flashing with blood-colored light. Whenever they look at the eye sockets, people have the illusion of being stared at by them.

    The bone ship lit up with an aura, and the skeletons jumping out of the river were blocked by the aura, preventing them from going any further.

    It was only then that Pei Qiyu and Su Molan discovered that Ning Yuzhou had already set up a defensive formation on the bone boat. This defensive formation could obviously block the attack of the skeletons emerging from the river.

    After the skeletons attacked for a while and found that they couldn't break through the defense of the bone ship, the two rows of teeth moved one by one, making a gurgling sound, giving the illusion that they were communicating.

    Wen Qiao and Su Molan stared at them vigilantly.

    "What are these things?" Pei Qiyu asked with a frown, finding that the river was full of these bones, which made people feel bad.

    "It's a bone demon," Ning Yuzhou said.

    Everyone looked at the skeletons in the river and felt that the name of the bone demon was quite appropriate.

    "It seems that the Thirteenth House of Withered Bones is not very safe." Su Molan frowned slightly, looking ahead with some worry, intuition that the road ahead was full of dangers, and she didn't know whether the trip would go smoothly.

    Pei Qiyu glanced at her, touched her chin and said, "I'm just curious, where did those people in Huangu Town go."

    It would be strange if they didn't see Aunt Hua when they left the inn.Until saw the situation on the street clearly, had an intuition that Aunt Hua should be no longer in Huangu Town, just like those who disappeared.

    How can there be such a strange place in Hunyuan Continent?

    "The bones are still in the morning, and the bones are in the night." Ning Yuzhou suddenly said, "The whereabouts of them should be related to these two sentences."
