Stone City is a small city. At first glance, it looks no different from an ordinary city. The difference is that everything inside is made of stone.

There are several stone statues that look like gatekeepers standing at the gate of the city. If you walk further in, you can see stone statues of common people with different expressions scattered on the road. A girl holding a candied haws and crying, a girl carrying a vegetable basket, These stone statues of old women picking at the stalls are carved lifelike, showing a picture of daily life.

"These stone statues are so real, and the people who carved them are so skilled."

Qiu Nan looked carefully at the candied haws in the child's hand. Because it looked so lifelike, the glutton in his stomach was suddenly aroused. He couldn't hold it back and quietly stretched out his tongue to lick it.

Hmm...no taste.

Who would have thought that as soon as he finished licking it, the stone statue of the child holding the candied haws suddenly burst into loud cries, and the cries lingered throughout the stone city, making it creepy.

Qiunan was so frightened that she hid behind Baili Yue and stammered, "It, how can it really cry?!"

Ruan Li was also startled. The child's cry was so penetrating that it gave her a headache. When she looked closely, she patted the head of the stone statue child. The child seemed to be threatened, and the cry suddenly stopped. end.

She said thoughtfully, "Perhaps these stone statues are not carved, but directly freeze people into stone statues at a certain moment."

Qiunan's eyes widened, she was really frightened this time, "Really, really?!"

Thinking about this kind of thing was extremely scary, and everyone felt a numbness on their backs. They invariably moved away from the stone statues and huddled silently on the wide road. They would rather you step on me and touch you than get close to those stone statues.

Who knows if they are contagious?

Ruan Li looked at their timid appearance and raised an eyebrow and smiled, then put her elbow on the head of the stone child, "I'm just guessing, I can't guarantee it."

Nangong He looked at her fearless appearance, quietly leaned into Baili Yue's ear and whispered, "Has she always been so courageous?"

Baili thought more and more about her expressionless expression when she stole Kunniao with them in Penglai, and nodded silently.

Junior sister has a bit of courage.

After discovering that these stone statues seemed to be able to respond, everyone became more cautious and always observed what was going on around them.

Ruan Li was walking calmly on the roadside, looking at the vague footprints on the ground to guess how many people were in this stone city. When her wrist was suddenly grabbed, she thought it was Jing who was next to her a few steps away. think.

"Monk, why are you dragging me?"

Jingsi, who had already reached the front, turned back in confusion: "Huh? I didn't-"

Ruan Li's back felt cold, and she slowly raised her head, facing a gray stone face.

"..."

The other party was not like the stone boy who could only make sounds. His demeanor and movements had changed. It was obviously Ruan Li who ran over from the steps a few steps away and grabbed her. His expression was stiff and he was still squirming when he spoke. Stone chips fell from the ground.

"If you dare to have the King's Banquet at our house, you won't be able to leave today!"

Ruan Li felt very angry after hearing what he said, "You can insult my personality, but you can't insult my money. I have never eaten without paying for it in my whole life!"

Shame, this is a great shame!

The stone statue was dressed like a waiter, grabbing Ruan Li's wrist and refusing to let go. He was talking to himself, "Don't have any money? Okay, then I'll pay for it with labor."

Ruan Li really wanted to smash the spirit stone on his head.

She tried to use her spiritual power to shake the stone statue away, and then she found that there was a force at work where she was caught, suppressing her spiritual power very much.

Nangong He reminded, "Look at what he said. I feel like we have to follow what the stone statue says. Head-on confrontation is very dangerous."

This place is full of stone statues. If every one of them came to life, how could we deal with them?

Ruan Li felt that what he said made sense, and resisted the urge to knock the stone waiter away, "What kind of labor do you need to do?" This stone waiter obviously can only say something after you say something, but what he said is wrong. His mouth only says what he wants to say.

"Go to Yuan Zhao's foreign office in the west of the city. Miss Zhao is accepting a son-in-law today and needs a lot of help."

He was like an NPC assigning tasks. After speaking, he stared directly at Ruan Li with his stone-carved eyes.

Ruan Li: "...Okay."

The stone statue waiter slowly let her go, took a few steps back and stood at the door of the inn, transforming into one of the hundreds of ordinary stone statues.

Bailiyue quickly pulled the junior sister towards him. He could tell that her junior sister was indeed quite unlucky sometimes.

"Let's go to the west of the city. If we don't keep our promise, I'm afraid we will end up badly."

The city is not big. The group of people walked to the west of the city and successfully found the location of Yuanwai's Mansion. Yuanwai Shen seemed to be a big family in the city. There were two majestic stone lions at the door of the mansion, which was shocking. However, in the entire silent city of stone statues, the people walking around in this courtyard are all real people.

Qiu Nan looked through the door and saw the red lanterns and red couplets hanging inside, as well as the servants who were walking around just like ordinary people. She swallowed hard and asked, "Are they really alive?"

Nangong He's face was complicated, "It's hard to tell. If not, they are probably much more aggressive than those half-dead stone statues."

Before I came here, I was prepared to encounter a few monsters. I didn't expect that all the weird things here were stone statues. Now, it's better. We have to deal with a bunch of "ordinary people" again, which is very difficult to deal with.

Ruan Li touched his chin and guessed that such a huge formation must be to guard the boundary bead.

She waved and took the lead, "Go in and have a look."

As soon as Ruan Li crossed the threshold, she attracted the attention of several maids. They looked at Ruan Li up and down and whispered together.

"She's as skinny as a monkey, not as good-looking as a young lady."

"The jewelry is quite nice. You can take it off and leave it to the lady."

Ruan Li: "I can hear you."

At least avoid speaking ill of others!

The maids snorted softly, raised their chins and looked at the person through their nostrils. They were obviously not satisfied with their temporary helpers, "Oh my god, where do these people come from? They are both bald and beggars. How can they be worthy of being here?" Our Yuanwaifu is here."

"Beggar" Nangong He and Bald Jingsi: "..."

Bailiyue gloated, "Ha!"

The maid glared at him and said, "The beggar said you, why are you smiling? You are shameless."

"..."

Bailiyue looked at his tattered clothes and cried in the wind.

Ruan Li patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "You are in a simple style, a new trend."

Nangong He, wearing his colorful patchwork uniform, asked, "What about me?"

Ruan Li thought for a moment, "Flower girl style."

"..."

I suspect you are kidding me.
