Dragon of Mirage, 1209

that time.There are so many things here that I can't even name! Some things exist only in legend.And all of this, the "master" of it all, was this shriveled, withered old man with eyes that glistened...In ancient cities, wells were generally divided into two types: one was located in the courtyards of wealthy households, and the other was a kind of public wellhead that residents could use to draw water.

Drilling a well is also an art. Ordinary families do not have this ability. And more particular families will also consider feng shui and geomancy.

But the government also doesn't allow people to dig wells in the city at random. Ancient cities all paid attention to feng shui and qi meridians, so they couldn't be moved easily. Besides, some special wells have other uses.

Where there are cities, there are generally water sources. The ancients revered water and fire, and they did not dare to easily touch underground water veins. Some wells also carried a layer of mystery.

The billowing mist, rising layer upon layer, seemed as if something were burning.

The whole city seemed to be shrouded in gloom, perhaps because of the presence of ghosts.

In classical legends, mirages often appear like clouds and mist, ethereal and vague. The reason why they are so dark and gloomy, with thick black fog, must be due to the unique environment here.

This is the desolate realm of ghosts, the ultimate darkness.

Heaven and earth's yin and yang nurture the creation of all things. There must be a place that can counterbalance the ordinary world to maintain the balance of yin and yang here.

It may be a city, but perhaps I'll never reach the end of these winding streets.

Black mist crept over, and I quickly ducked to the side at the entrance of the courtyard, avoiding direct contact with it.

The refined mirage... According to the witch clan's Gu art classification, being able to refine this illusory and intangible thing into a Gu is something only a great witch with extraordinary abilities can do.

I don't know who is really in charge of this city.

The Netherworld's edge, a city of ghosts, surely there must be... some order to it It can't just allow these diverse spirits to wander freely without any rules or enforcers, can it

This city should also have a lord.

Thinking about this issue, I got a little scared.

On the territory of Ling Shan's Ten Witches, who is qualified to be the manager of Yin Zhiji

Maybe one of the shamans.

What to do… The gale outside the city grows increasingly violent, as if trying to disperse the smoke that shrouds the city. This wind is laced with fiery breath, savagely tearing at the city like a tempest.

To protect the city's mirage, many wells began to spew out large amounts of gas. The already dim and maze-like streets became like an empty city at midnight without lights.

A living person lay unconscious, their vital energy draining away little by little.

In a short time, this city will be like it was a thousand years ago, its vitality consumed, leaving only a city of bones. When the Ghost Realm moves on, the Shaman cleans the bones, and this place becomes a ruin once more.

"Hee hee hee..." A shrill laughter, coming from the dark end of the street, seemed to dart in and out of hearing.

I was so startled that I froze.

The place where I was just moving is on the outskirts of this city, in what's considered the "Outer City," mostly ordinary people's houses.

At this time, heading towards the inner city, after passing through the maze, the road became increasingly dark, and at the end, it was pitch black. However, at this moment, a burst of laughter accompanied by a faint grayish-green glow appeared.

That green light, unable to illuminate the surrounding area, resembled a tiny green firefly in this dense darkness, extremely faint.

But a burst of laughter came from behind the green light.

I ducked behind a courtyard's earthen wall, frantically pulling the nine-tailed fox demon's tail back, then huddled in a pitch-black corner, not daring to breathe.

That bit of green fluorescence came from outside the earthen wall, getting closer and closer...

I saw a green "lantern," the skull of something. No wonder the light wasn't bright, only three holes - the eyes and mouth - let out light.

Behind the lantern was a thin wooden handle. The "hand" gripping the handle was a perpetually withered claw.

"Hee hee hee... the little imps from the outer city, find a good place to hide... Someone outside is out of their depth~~ I don't know how many ~~ over the years~~~ You little imps stay put, don't fly around the city~~ Be blown away by the gale~~ You'll be gone in a puff of smoke once you leave the city~~~"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

A creature with the upper body of an owl and the lower body of a serpent's tail, carrying two lanterns in its four claws, passed by me at a distance of a few zhang. Two claws held lanterns, while the other two were on its sides.

I was puzzled how there could be living creatures in a ghost town, and then I saw three small balls of ghostly fire dancing behind the monster's head and shoulders.

What the heck is this...

He patrolled out from the direction of the inner city. He looked like one of the guards from the city. Are there many things like this in the direction of the inner city

How can I get this in there

Mu Wanchen destroyed the mirage outside, but as a result, the wells in the city continuously spewed out mirages that enveloped the entire city.

This is going to take ages!

Things inside the inner city were still stirred up, Little Child and the whereabouts of Luo Hou Xingjun are unknown, what should I do

I'm trying desperately to calm myself down, but haven't figured anything out yet. Suddenly, I felt a chill run down my spine —

This isn't the kind of ghostly chill that comes creeping by, but... but something lifted up the tail I had wrapped around me!

I bit my finger in terror, you know, sometimes the living are scarier than ghosts!

"Shh!!"

A hushed warning came from behind.

I turned my head back and, in the darkness, could only see a sliver of green light coming in, revealing a white skull!

"Ah... Ugh..." I choked back a scream, clamping my hand over my mouth. What in the world crawled into my fur cloak!

I kicked, but the other person grabbed my ankle. Then we were both covered in fur...

I could hear my heart pounding in my chest. The eerie giggling outside faded away, and I didn't dare breathe.

"Little princess, it's me." The little boy took the skull off his head.

I gaped, slumping to the ground as if drained of all energy.

“......You, you......Nevermind, it's fine that you're alright.” I was already too scared to be angry.

The little boy was obviously frightened. He plopped down beside me, and we huddled under the fur. He whispered quickly, "Black clouds just rolled in suddenly, it all changed in the blink of an eye! This is too strange! Even shifting stars and changing constellations can't happen this fast! Even Lord Rahu was taken aback."

"By the way, where's Luo Hu Xingjun" I felt that right now, only he had the strength to fight in the city.

I don't want to think about it anymore. I just need to find a place to hide and not hold anyone back. That little kid, I think he's also half-baked, making a big splash all thanks to his intelligence and EQ. He wouldn't be able to cast spells against enemies effectively anyway.

"The moment Lord Rahu arrived in the Netherworld, his light vanished! He didn't even have time to explain, but I know he's definitely in the city!"

"Why"

"Do you still remember how we were surrounded by residents in the city two days ago At that time, Lord Rahu discovered something unusual about a gate archway and wanted to check it out, but the residents thought he was going to destroy their homes..."

"Remember, remember! That's the main street in the Outer City, right"

"Yes! That's where he is, I bet he went there! Maybe he already found something, let's go quickly!"

We set off without hesitation, both of us wearing our fur-lined cloaks, striding towards the Grand Gate. As we reached the main street's exit, a crimson apparition caught my eye.was as dark as water. He spoke in a low voice: "She had a serious illness before, and her body is very weak.""Oh...what's wrong""Evil has entered the body.""Were you possessed" I asked.The old man smi...
