C28 I Met a Ghost in the Spring

Article 28. Return of Spring to City meeting a ghost

The Return of Spring to City was a medium-sized city on the western border of the Cold Forest Country. Every year after the snow melted, the Return of Spring to City's flowers would bloom the earliest, which was why it was called the Return of Spring.

However, the people in the Return of Spring to City were anxious. During the day, the pedestrians were all in a hurry. It was as if a huge stone was pressing down on their hearts. At night, every household lit up their lamps and candles in the house. However, the doors and windows were tightly shut, making it look very strange.

With Chao Guang's speed, Ye Zhifa and Chu Qianwei entered the Return of Spring to City before the sun set. If they wanted to stay at night for a while, they could only think of a way to spend the night outside the city.

However, even after they entered the city, the shops in the city were all closed. They could not find any shops with their doors open.

"Ye Zhifa, what's going on?"

Chu Qianwei was just a child. Ye Zhifa would not lower himself to her level.

After he had searched his stomach and told Chu Qianwei countless jokes from his previous life on the internet, the little girl would not treat him coldly anymore. Of course, it could not be said that they were close.

Looking at the figures and voices coming out of the window, Ye Zhifa could not help but feel his scalp tingle. There were clearly countless people awake, but there were no pedestrians on the road. The entire city looked like a dead city, it was truly frightening.

"Master said that there are ghosts and devils here. Perhaps they are afraid of ghosts and devils, that's why they are doing this. It's getting late, so let's find a place to stay first. "

Unexpectedly, after knocking on several inns, not a single one of them was willing to open the door for them, and they didn't even hear a reply.

During this period of time, several people had died tragically under the capture of ghosts. The rumors gradually spread within the Return of Spring to City. One of the rumors was that the ghosts would knock on the door at night. As long as one knew that someone was in the room, they would capture them and eat them. That was why no one dared to respond to Ye Zhifa and the others.

After this ordeal, the sun had also set. If they could not find a place to stay, Ye Zhifa and Chu Qianwei would probably sleep on the streets.

How could a dignified Sword Palace disciple sleep on the streets?

After knocking on the door repeatedly, Ye Zhifa finally got angry. After knocking on the door of the fifth inn a few times and no one responded, he shouted inside, "Boss, if no one comes to greet me, I'll smash your door!"

He didn't know whether the shopkeeper didn't believe the rumors or cherished his life more than others, but he actually replied to Ye Zhifa, "Customer, it's not that I don't want to greet you. I don't know if you are a human or a ghost. I really don't dare to open the door."

"Two living people are standing here. How can it be a ghost? Won't you know when you open the door?"

The shopkeeper was quite bold. When he heard Ye Zhifa's words, he actually pushed the door open and peeked outside.

As soon as he saw them, he saw a few white shadows standing outside. He immediately screamed and fell to the ground in fear.

Ye Zhifa did not care about his reaction. He pushed open the door and walked in. Chu Qianwei and Chao Guang followed him in.

Only then did the chubby shopkeeper see clearly that the person who entered the shop was actually two people and a horse. Ye Zhifa and Chu Qianwei were both white, and Chao Guang was wearing a white horse that didn't have any other colors. No wonder he had seen the white horse just now.

There was a shadow under Ye Zhifa and the others' feet, so it was naturally a person and not a ghost. After confirming this, the shopkeeper let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. He quickly got up and closed the door. He greeted, "Customer, do you want to stay in the shop? But this horse needs to stay in the circle. It can't stay in the shop. "

"Three rooms, one for each person and one for the horse. Do you have one?"

The shop owner wanted to say that there was no reason to let the horse stay in the room, but before Ye Zhifa handed over the golden leaf, he could only nod his head to indicate that there were plenty of rooms, and Lord Ma could also get one. Anyway, business had been bad during this period of time, so why not sell one more room?

Chao Guang heard Ye Zhifa's arrangement and snorted at him, expressing that he was very satisfied.

After that, under the guidance of the waiter who still had some fear, the three of them walked to the second floor of the inn.

When he saw Chao Guang walk up the stairs more agilely than a human, the waiter couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder, feeling that this horse was really a strange beast.

After Ye Zhifa sat down in the guest room and drank two sips of tea, there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that the person who came was not the waiter who served the dishes, but Chu Qianwei, who lived next door.

"Junior sister Chu, what's the matter?"

Chu Qianwei hesitated for a while before asking, "Ye Zhifa, we have already reached the Return of Spring to City. What should we do next?"

It turned out that before they left, Huang Xi had instructed Chu Qianwei to discuss more matters with Ye Zhifa along the way and not make arbitrary decisions.

Chu Qianwei originally scoffed at this suggestion, but after the trip that day, she realized that Ye Zhifa was indeed more thoughtful than her. In the end, she could not help but come to ask for advice on the plan.

When Ye Zhifa heard that she actually came for this purpose, he could not help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at!? I... I'm leaving!"

Seeing that Chu Qianwei was about to leave, Ye Zhifa hurriedly pulled her back. I'm not teasing you, I just wanted to discuss tomorrow's plans with you. I found that you actually had the same thoughts as me and felt that it was interesting, so I laughed."

After saying that, Ye Zhifa pulled Chu Qianwei into the room and found that she was looking at him with a red face.

"What's wrong?"

"You... you let go!"

Only then did Ye Zhifa realize that he had been holding Chu Qianwei's hand and quickly let go in embarrassment. He had always regarded Chu Qianwei as his junior in his heart, but he forgot that his physical body was not much different from her age.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to."

After Chu Qianwei heard Ye Zhifa's apology, she stared at Ye Zhifa for a while before turning her head to the side. She snorted and asked, "Tell me, what do you plan to do?"

"I plan to go to the Prefecture tomorrow to take a look. There should be records of this series of events there. I think there should be a reason why ghosts and ghosts are causing trouble. As long as we can find that reason, we will be able to solve this problem."

"Alright, then let's do it. I'm tired, I need to go back to sleep "

He did not expect Chu Qianwei to actually express that she did not have any more objections after hearing that and directly walked back to her guest room.

Looking at her back as she left, Ye Zhifa could not help but smile bitterly. It seemed that he really needed to rack his brains to get along with this little girl.

But since Chu Qianwei agreed with his plan, Ye Zhifa also relaxed.

This time, although it was Chao Guang who ran from the Qinxi Mountain to the Return of Spring to City, Ye Zhifa also felt tired and fell asleep early.

However, just as Ye Zhifa was in a daze, he suddenly heard rustling sounds coming from outside the window. He pushed open the window and saw a few thin figures in black robes walking on the road under the moonlight.

Ye Zhifa took a closer look and realized that something was wrong. These things did not have legs at all. They slid on the ground. The rustling was caused by the friction between their robes and the ground. What exactly was this thing?

At this moment, those few figures seemed to have noticed Ye Zhifa and turned their heads around.

What entered Ye Zhifa's eyes were a few human faces, but they were two feet long. Their facial features were distorted and covered in blood. They looked extremely miserable!

Ye Zhifa, who was frightened, could not help but scream. He saw those few things fly up from the ground without any effort and float towards Ye Zhifa's window.
