nine coffins

Chapter 181 Amu, you are back!
The former Yunxi Kingdom was not big, with a radius of three thousand li, which was similar to that of the original Northern Kingdom.

Amu unfolded the secret method of fairy art, almost without stopping.Before evening, Amu had already passed through the Yunxi Kingdom and reached the territory of the Northern Kingdom.

Liu Town, in the eastern part of the North Country, is only a few hundred miles away at this time.

After entering the Northland, Amu slowed down.One is running around for days, even if it is a fairy bone demon body, it is a little tired.The second is that Amu wants to walk away from the northern land.

Walking through the town, looking at the bustling people, Amu felt as if he had passed away.

At that time, Amu also traveled to some places with his master Wang Jue. After 40 years, the Northland has not changed much.The landscape remains the same, and the customs remain the same.People in the northern country still drink, fish, sing, and dance, all in exchange for the name and face of the country.

But all of this is a different feeling in Amu's eyes. The years of cultivating immortals, with a flick of a finger, turn into a century of ordinary life in a blink of an eye.

Cultivators and mortals are no longer the same existence, and Amu is no longer the original Amu!
Feeling a little emotional in my heart, I occasionally heard some old people talking about the past when Baicheng was turned into ruins overnight, the Great Murong Dynasty took over the Northern Kingdom, and Baicheng is now a ghost town.

40 years ago was a very long time for ordinary people.Countless sighs, countless sighs!

"It seems that those two traveling merchants are not all lying, that Baicheng seems to have really earned the title of ghost city!" Amu thought to himself.

Inadvertently, it seems that someone also mentioned the word "ghost town", but the voice was extremely low, and was immediately stopped by others.Amu didn't listen carefully, but frowned.

The word "ghost town" made Amu's heart tremble, and an inexplicable feeling came to his heart.

"Let's go back to Liu Town!" Thinking in his heart, Amu no longer lingered in the past, and once again began to move forward with secret techniques.

As the sun set and dusk arrived, Amu arrived several miles outside Liuzhen.

At this time, the sky is getting dark.Looking at Liuzhen from a distance, it was a little gloomy.In the late spring, it seems that there will be a good rain this night.

"Liuzhen! Liuzhen!" Amu looked at Liuzhen in the dusk, it was gray, but it didn't change its simple and simple appearance.

Although Amu hadn't seen anyone within tens of miles, it was a little dead silent, but Amu didn't seem to care about the feeling of being close to his hometown.

It disappeared in an instant, and when it reappeared, Amu had already stood at the entrance of Liuzhen Town.Standing tall, he quietly looked at Liu Zhen.

Suddenly, the black and red brilliance in Amu's eyes flourished, like the flames of the last days, about to burst out, his fists clenched tightly, still pale.

But Amu's cheeks were tense, and the two flames were gradually annihilated unwillingly under the powerful mind.

No one understood Amu's expression at that time, but even after thousands of years, Amu would never forget this moment.

The towering stone tablet at the entrance of the town is still there, and the handwriting of the ancient seals reveals a vicissitudes - Liuzhen.Amu walked forward slowly, caressing the stele lightly, feeling icy cold.For some reason, Amu's hands trembled slightly.

The Wang family is at the east end of the town, so Amu entered the town from the west, and to go home, he had to cross the entire town.

Amu didn't use any spells, but just like a mortal, step by step.Amu wants to walk through this town that brings him the warmest memories, and he wants everything to pass through his life forever.

The moment he stepped into the town, Amu's eyes gradually became hazy, and many scenes seemed to appear suddenly.

Like the small Shuangshan Village, there are many children playing at the entrance of the village.The children played wildly, sweating profusely and laughing constantly.

"Brother Amu, you're back!" One of the older children, with a pale face, still shouted with a smile, and at the same time dodged to avoid being chased by another child.

"Brother Amu, watch me catch him!" The other child took a look at Amu and almost fell.

Amu subconsciously went over to help, the child was too thin, because he was a little light.

Liu Town is not too big, everyone in the town and the villagers basically know each other. After greeting Amu, these children ran away to other places.

Hee hee haha, so lively, this is an ordinary evening in Liuzhen.

But some of the children looked back at Amu with pain and reluctance in their eyes.Amu frowned slightly, as if there was a tingling pain in his chest.

Quaint streets, scattered woody fragrance.Although it was getting late, there were still many people on the long street in Liu Town.

Some houses have installed wind lamps at the door, and the wind blows the lamps to shake, faintly reflecting the gate tower.Some people laughed and laughed, and some people heard the sound of sawing and planing wood from the door.

Creak, creak, chichi, chichi...

The name of the coffin is well known, and the wood chips are fragrant!
This is the well-known Liu Town in the Northland, this is also the ordinary Liu Town, and this is the Liu Town that Amu has been dreaming of for 40 years.

All in all, eternally unchanged.

"Amu, you're back!" A tall, thin middle-aged man passed by and greeted Amu with a smile.

"Hmm! Hello Second Uncle Liu!" Amu smiled.Although the middle-aged man's face was a little dark and his smile was a little stiff, Amu still felt the warmth.

"Amu, you're back! Hehe." At this time, a boy of sixteen or seventeen popped up next to him, just like Amu's age at the time, "Angrily killing the imperial army, it's amazing! Back then when you were fighting, my father dragged me and wouldn't let me in .”

As he spoke, the boy punched Amu on the shoulder.

"En! Zhuzi!" Amu nodded, with tears in his eyes.This boy is Amu's best friend in Liuzhen.They once went to the mountains to log together, and once they were in danger, Zhuzi even rescued Amu.

"Amu, you're back!" An aunt shouted enthusiastically at the door of a tofu shop, "Take these two pieces of tofu back and let Yu'er stew them for you!"

Saying that, the aunt wrapped up two pieces of fresh and tender tofu and asked the beautiful girl beside her to deliver them.

The girl shy for a while, unable to stand up to her mother's urging, she came to Amu.

"Here! Brother Amu." The girl blushed, and the girl stopped talking, took a peek at Amu, turned and ran back.

The aunt looked at her shy daughter with a smile, her face brimming with happiness, then said nothing, she was still busy with the tofu stand, and a few villagers happened to come to buy tofu.

"Thank you!" Amu held the two pieces of tofu that felt extremely heavy, and his throat was a little dry.

Amu remembered that the girl's name was Xiaoyu, but the red hairband at the beginning had now turned into a pale color.

The master once said with a smile that she is a pretty girl, and she will be Amu's wife in two years.Because of this matter, Yu'er didn't talk to Master for three days.

Thinking of Yuer's appearance back then, Amu couldn't help but smile knowingly, but looking at the kind mother and daughter, Amu's smile contained too much bitterness.

The immortal has the pain of the immortal, and the ordinary has the happiness of the ordinary.Amu will never forget the appearance of this mother and daughter.

With his empty left hand, Amu clenched his fist tightly, and the knuckles of his fingers were faintly white.

Amu continued to walk, very slowly and very hard.

For 40 years, everything in Liuzhen seems to have never changed, as before.

"Amu, you're back! Let's go! Yu'er is looking at you at the door. Haha!"

"Amu, I'm back! If you have time tomorrow, help me paint the coffin! Li Dahu in the city is so busy that he is too busy!"

"Amu, I'm back! By the way, help me tomorrow too. Let's talk at home!"

"Amu, you're back! Be careful! You killed the Imperial Army of the Northern Kingdom, you are too reckless!"

"Amu, you're back! Hurry up, lest Mr. Wang beat you!"

"Amu, you're back!..."

The old man of the Liu family, Brother Liu Qi and his wife Liu Qi, and every villager in the town were all greeting Amu.

There are greetings, jokes, blame, and urging...

The street in Liuzhen is not long, but Amu walks very slowly.Stop and go, be sure to talk to everyone, respond to everyone's request for help, and talk about family problems.

In the night, although the sky was slightly cloudy and it was going to rain, Liu Town was very lively.

"I'm back! Folks!" Amu stood on the long street, his eyes were bloodshot with tears, "Unfortunately, Amu is late..."

Dressed in white like snow, Amu walked very slowly on some gray streets, his back was a little lonely, and the white clothes were extremely glaring in the dark upper street, as if it was a funeral robe.

"Amu is late—" Amu murmured dryly.

At this time, Amu, who had come all the way, seemed in no hurry to go home.

"Let's go! Amu, go home and have a look!"

"Yes! Yu'er, I'm in a hurry!"

"Hurry up! Be careful that old man Wang Jue hits you again, hehe!"

Gray bricks and gray tiles, double courtyards.Amu finally reached the east side of the town.This is the Wang family.

Amu looked back at the road he had walked, and it seemed that everyone was still on the street, doing their own thing.Unknowingly, tears rolled down Amu's eyes.

Then, turning around, holding on to the door of his own house, Amu lightly stroked it.

"Crack——" Amu gently pushed the door open.

In the courtyard, there are various coffin-making tools and various kinds of wood scattered around, and the familiar woody fragrance still wafts.This seemed to be the night before Amu left.

40 years like a dream, nothing has changed.

"Master——"

"Feather—"

Amu entered the house, his voice trembling slightly.

Through the front yard, the back yard is empty.

It turned out that there was nothing in the place where the nine remnants of the coffins were placed, and naturally there was no silent old man in black standing among the nine remnants of the coffins, holding the black cane behind his hands.

"Master——"

"Feather—"

Amu called again in a trembling voice.Although the moment he stepped into Liuzhen, Amu knew that there would be no master and Yuer here, and he didn't want to really see the master and Yuer, but Amu still couldn't help shouting.

After looking around in a daze, Amu quietly withdrew from the Wang family.

Looking back at the long street, Amu Ren burst into tears. As a middle-level monk of the Holy Spirit, Amu could hardly control himself.At the beginning of the Beihan War, Ziyu died in his arms, and Amu didn't shed a single tear.

The piece of tofu gradually turned into white gas in Amu's hands.

The gray sky, without stars and moon, is a hazy one.The laughter of the children just now, the greetings of the blind dates, and the laughter of the whole family are still echoing in my ears.

"All dead—all dead—"

Amu's tears flowed until they were exhausted, and his complexion gradually changed.

"Hahaha——" Amu's face was a little distorted, and some sad and crazy laughter sounded.

Then, all voices from Liu Zhen stopped abruptly.

Immediately, there were bursts of shrill screams, which were the screams of nearly a thousand people, young and old, and the ghosts who strayed into Liuzhen for 40 years and were devoured.

Countless white smoke rose up in the night, strange and mysterious.
