Dazhou.

In the tenth year of Zhaowu, the first month of the year just passed, and the atmosphere of the New Year had not yet dissipated, something strange happened in Xining County.

A town with thousands of people disappeared overnight, and even the animals disappeared.

"I know that town is built at the foot of a mountain. I must have encountered the mountain spirit and wild monster!"

"The mountain spirit and wild monsters don't have that much magic power. Is this an evil ghost encountered or a human-cannibal evil ghost!"

People in the county all think that the disappearance of the town is related to ghosts and people's hearts are floating.

On the second day of the second month, the Spring Plowing Festival, the day after the town disappeared, some people who were not afraid of trouble ran over and ran over to watch the fun in the afternoon.

Mixi Town, the town that disappeared overnight, has now become a wasteland.

"It really disappeared! Not even a piece of tiles left, as if it had never existed!"

"This is definitely not something that people can do! Even if they move, they won't take away all the bricks and tiles! They must have encountered ghosts, only they have such great magic power!"

"It's almost dark, go away!"

The sky was getting darker, and the few people who were watching the fun did not dare to stay, so they turned around and ran away.

Night falls as deep as water.

A young man in his twenties came over, wearing a black long gown, with a flat head, a healthy wheat-colored face, a tough appearance, clear edges and dark and bright eyes.

The young man called Wang Cheng, is the only person in Mixi Town who did not disappear with him.

Yesterday, Master Dr. Zhang asked him to go up the mountain to collect herbs. Because he searched for a long time to find one of the medicines, he delayed for a while and came back when it was dark. At that time, Mixi Town had disappeared.

He turned around here many times, and he searched for every grass, every tree, every brick and every stone, hoping to find some clues.

He found it, it was this time, when it was completely dark.

He kept walking forward, silently remembering the number of steps in his mind, one hundred and twenty steps, no more or less.

He stopped.

Here comes!

The calm night as clear as water suddenly seemed to have been thrown away by a stone, and ripples arise.

I saw a big door gradually emerge. In fact, two logs were laid out and a wooden board was built in the middle. The words were written on the wooden board, and three words could be vaguely seen.

Behind the gate, two rows of ancient houses were winding like long snakes. In the middle of the house was a road paved with bluestone bricks, but there was no one on the road.

This is the disappearing Mixi Town!

It reappeared in the night!

Wang Cheng knew that this was not true, because the location where he stood at his feet was where he lived. Logically speaking, he was already in the town, but the town in front of him was still a distance away from him.

He continued to walk in, trying to get in, even though he had tried many times last night.

Still that way, no matter how he walked forward, he still couldn't walk in.

It’s like a world apart, it’s clearly right in front of you, but you just can’t get close to you, just a stone’s throw away!

Is it a mirage?

Or some kind of illusion?

Wang Cheng had no way to be sure, but what is certain is that Mixi Town must still be there and has not completely disappeared.

"Something must have happened here yesterday!" he thought to himself.

What's the change?

He suddenly remembered someone, if someone in Xining County knew about it, it must be that person.

He didn't want to wait for a moment, and he couldn't wait for a moment. He turned around and left while the night was shining.

Behind, a coffin was vaguely seen hanging in the air, floating with the darkness of the night, around the coffin, there were pairs of eyes looking over, many eyes.

...

Two Knife, whose original name was Li Shuangdao, was always the headmaster of Xining County. He was good at using Shuangdao and was kind to others. He liked to make friends. From county officials to nine ranks, he had friends and had a wide connection.

If something happens in Xining County, it will definitely not be able to hide it from him. He is Xining's famous "Everything".

Two years ago, after his 60th birthday, he stepped down from the position of captain, but his network of relationships did not break because the person who took over his position was his only son, Li Xiang.

Li Shuangdao lives in the east of Chengdong of Xining County. He has worked as a captain for his whole life. He has some wealth in his family and is a two-entry yard.

Wang Cheng was still wearing a black long gown, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, and half of his face was blocked. After walking in the middle of the night, he finally arrived here at around five in the morning.

There are two white lanterns hanging in front of the yard with the big word "子" written on it.

Wang Cheng's thoughts were as messy as the wind in February, with no direction.

Li Shuangdao is dead?

If this is true, it will be troublesome. He hurried into the yard to take a look.

The worst case still happened!

Li Shuangdao was lying under the mourning hall, and his only son Li Xiang was guarding his life, a young man of 26 or 27 years old, with a handsome appearance, simple and capable look.

Li Xiang was stunned when he saw Wang Cheng. He recognized Wang Cheng only had a few meetings and had basically no contact, but he still gave the family tribute: "Little miracle doctor!"

Wang Cheng is the successor of Dr. Zhang, and his medical skills are superb. People in Xining County call him that.

He asked, "When did it happen?"

Li Xiang said: "The night before yesterday."

Wang Cheng was stunned. Is this a coincidence? It was the same day as Mixi Town disappeared!

He wanted to ask "How do people die?", but it would be rude to ask such a question at this time.

It was still early, and no one else came to worship in the mourning hall, all of whom were Li Shuangdao's family.

Li Xiang was no longer so restrained and said, "Did you come to see my father if you have something to do?"

Wang Cheng nodded and said, "Mixi Town is gone!"

Li Xiang was shocked and said, "Is this really the case?"

As the headmaster of a county, Li Xiang actually got the news that day, but he didn't believe it at all. How could such a big town be gone? If it weren't for his father's illness and death, he would have taken people to investigate.

Li Xiang asked: "How did it disappear?"

Wang Cheng described the situation and expressed his guess: "Mixi Town must have not disappeared. It must have been encountered some kind of change. Could it be that someone used some kind of illusion?"

Li Xiang shook his head and denied: "It can't be an illusion! A town with thousands of people, such a large place, will be gone if it is gone. This is not a magic trick!"

He groped through the tip of his nose and pondered: "It seems like he's hitting a ghost!"

"Crash the ghost?"

Wang Cheng never thought of this possibility, so he didn't believe in anything like ghosts, but even Li Xiang said so, and the belief that he had always adhered to was somewhat collapsed: "Is there really a ghost?"

"I don't know!" Li Xiang shook his head, "I heard from my father that there was a Mr. Qian in the west of the city. At the age of 60, he took a beautiful concubine. Since then, Mr. Qian's family has no peace and no one has ever seen each other."

"Later, my father went to check it out myself, guess what? He found those people under the willow tree in his yard! They were all bones and flesh and blood, and they didn't look like people who had been dead for ten days or half a month."

"My father thought the willow tree was strange, so he pulled out two knives and chopped it on the willow tree. What do you think? The willow tree was like a person, and it actually shed blood! My father was brave and asked someone to burn the willow tree. Mr. Qian's concubine died that day. Later, this happened to Mr. Qian's house again."

After hearing this, Wang Cheng completely doubted that this matter was told from Li Xiang, and it was probably true.

If Mixi Town really encounters ghosts and thousands of people, they will definitely not be able to escape.

Master, Dahan, Ergou, and those neighbors, are they still alive now?

Thinking of the evil ghosts teasing them, sucking their souls, and chewing their bodies in the dark, Wang Cheng had goose bumps on his body.

"Little miracle doctor, I should have investigated the disappearance of Mixi Town. You have seen it. I can't get away now. If you have any new clues, please tell me."

Li Xiang said this and remembered something again, "By the way! The person who reported the case to the yamen was a hunter near your town named Chen Fu. I believe you know him too, and he may know something."

Wang Cheng's eyes lit up, and hope rekindled in his heart. He thanked Li Xiang, and then respectfully worshiped Li Shuangdao and left quickly.
