Chapter 193: Mei Zizi
Xiaoshi nodded vigorously, his eyes were full of innocence, Chen Jiang couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, it turned out that caring for others was also a comfortable thing.
He couldn't help but look up, and found that on the pitch-black head, there were more than a dozen glittering soul crystals, slowly falling, one of which was the closest to them.
He pointed to the soul crystal and said, "Let's go, I also want to go to the city and get a boat." ”
In the underground world, it is difficult to find a small village hidden in the dark, but a city is very conspicuous, as long as you stand on a high place, you can see the place where the light is densest.
Chen Jiang and Xiao Shi ran all the way to the patches of light, and by the way, they picked up or grabbed more than a dozen soul crystals, which were enough to change the brand.
When they came to the edge of the city, Chen Jiang was already hungry, but he still couldn't eat the blackened and sticky food brought by the small stones.
His grandmother's, thanks to Ji Fatzi's not here, otherwise he would definitely have the heart to hang himself, and he would still be hungry.
Chen Jiang muttered in his heart, and his stomach screamed a few times.
According to Xiaoshi, this city is called Baipo City, but it is like a black mountain, with a tall stone wall, no city gate, and a row of lights standing in front of it, which shines under the stone wall, like daylight.
Walking closer, Chen Jiang saw clearly, the original stone wall is located on several stone hanging columns, each hanging column is hung with a hanging basket, the hanging basket is connected by a steel cable, there is a special person to guard the operation, people are through these hanging baskets, into and out of the city, look at it is also very fast and convenient.
At this moment, a wave of people fell, and the small stone and Chen Jiang quickly turned into the hanging basket, and only then did one of them take out a soul crystal and shake it against the top of the stone wall on his head.
As expected, the hanging basket was really slowly pulled up, only the soul crystal was the pass to enter the city, this was heard by Xiao Shi, because he was also * into the city, he couldn't help but be excited, and he didn't forget to show off to Chen Jiang and squeezed his eyes.
The two of them waited on the stone wall, and the light of the lantern carried a wave of heat, as if from the cold autumn to the hot summer in an instant.
If a person enters a place of light from a long period of darkness, the impact on his heart is like a man on earth who picks up a basket of gold, or gets a woman who has been longing for a long time, or is not at all, it is an indescribable happiness.
Chen Jiang, who came down from the bright world on the ground, is still like this, not to mention that he has never seen a small stone in the bright world.
The two of them instantly became two wooden stakes standing under the brilliant lights, people coming and going, all dressed appropriately, at least covering their entire bodies.
Unlike small stones, bare feet, bare legs, bare arms, and bare backs, there is only a piece of cloth, which is casually placed in front of the body.
Living in the dark for a long time, people can't see each other's clothes clearly, so they don't care about what they wear, not to mention the extreme lack of materials, especially children.
But suddenly coming to this bright spot without dead ends, in front of the public, it is like a rotten cabbage leaf, suddenly thrown from the vegetable basket to the bright red strawberry pile, this sharp contrast, maybe even the cabbage leaf will feel self-melting.
Xiao Shi looked at the different eyes of the onlookers, and the people in the distance pointed and pointed, and couldn't help but lower his head, he really didn't know what to do, he just hated this city, it was too bright.
Of course, Chen Jiang on the side didn't care about these, as a pure demon, he had been looked at too much differently, and these underground "soil buns" were nothing.
It was still winter on the ground, and he came down from the sea, dressed in winter clothes, so he took off his coat, fastened it to the little stone, and dragged him by the way, swaggering, to a house built on a high slope on the opposite side.
The four corners of each house are hung with lamps, and the stone walls are all carved with strange patterns.
When I got closer, I realized that the stone houses were actually hewn out on a huge rock mass, and the rocks were all gray-white, which seemed brighter and brighter under the light, and I couldn't complain that this place was called Baipo City.
There are no streets, people just shuttle between the cluttered houses, and it is really a good place to hide and seek.
Chen Jiang thought about it, and a pair of men and women were walking towards him, and Xiao Shi stepped forward and asked respectfully, "May I ask my lord, how to get to the temple?"
The two of them were startled, the woman bowed her head, but the man glanced at the small stone, and when he saw his bare feet first, he showed a look of disdain, a little bored, but he seemed to be unable to suppress his curiosity, and asked, "What are you doing in the temple?"
Xiao Shi replied honestly: "Go and change my mother's name tag." ”
The man was startled, the woman raised her head, and the two quickly swept Chen Jiang and the others, but the man pursed his lips disdainfully, and replied proudly: "The top of the slope is." ”
Then he ignored Xiaoshi's thanks, walked down the slope, and when he walked past the two of them, he said coldly and arrogantly.
"I advise you that the temple is not for poor people like you, and you should go. ”
Xiao Shi was just about to ask, but was gagged by Chen Jiang, and could only look at the back of the man and the woman leaving in shock, although the woman was dressed brightly, but obviously very weak.
"That woman, who was targeted by the soul sucker, in another month, she will be like my mother, she will not wake up for a long time, and then ......" Chen Jiang let go of Xiao Shi's mouth, and Xiao Shi said astringently.
Chen Jiang looked sideways, thinking that this kid really knew enough, so he asked, "Then what?"
Little Stone's eyes flickered, and he hesitated, and finally replied sadly: "Then, it will become a mine." ”
Chen Jiang's expression stiffened instantly, and he finally understood why the people in the village didn't advocate saving Xiaoshi's mother in the first place, so it was.
Waiting for others to turn into minerals and take them out in exchange for food is indeed a thing that is not dangerous and simple to operate.
He thought about it, and couldn't help but be bored, he didn't expect that wherever he went, he couldn't escape the sin of this man's cannibalism.
The two of them stopped talking, and soon saw a pure white building, white, peaceful, and full of a sacred atmosphere.
"This should be the temple, right?" said Little Stone, reluctantly.
But when they went to the door, the door was closed, and the noise inside was very gripping.
It's like a singing brothel immersed in a dark corner, no one can imagine what kind of scene it is like inside the red door that rejects people for thousands of miles.
The little hand covered with dirt on the small stone gently lifted the white jade knocker and looked at Chen Jiang, but Chen Jiang gave an encouraging look, and then buckled it.
It didn't seem to make a sound, and the door opened in a hurry, and an old man who was wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside poked his head out, without any sense of welcome, and frowned: "Little brat, don't come to flirt if you have nothing to do!"
As he spoke, he was about to close the door, but Chen Jiang had already stepped into the door with one foot, and said with a smile: "Hey, this is another one." ”
The old man's cloudy eyes looked at Chen Jiang and said in disgust: "Is there a mine?"
Chen Jiang was still smiling, and took out a handful of soul crystals from his arms, there were more than a dozen of them, and when he grabbed them in his hand, he felt like he had a lot of them in his arms, but he just grabbed a handful of them.
Under this smoky light, it is so pure and holy.
The old man straightened his eyes, and then the disgust on his face immediately turned into a charitable smile, just like the old bustard in a brothel, who suddenly turned into a princess in the palace, which made people take it for granted.
Chen Jiang still kept smiling, his smiling eyes were full of boredom, of course he was used to seeing the changeability of people's faces, as well as the old man's faintly outstretched hand.
He took a soul crystal, it was amazing, he dropped one, but it was falling into the old man's hand, the old man withdrew his hand with satisfaction, and respectfully invited the two to enter the door, but Chen Jiang never looked at each other again.
The two walked into the temple, the temple was already crowded with people, not worshipping, but it really looked like a "human meat market", and here they were a group of people who couldn't bear the loneliness.
On the stage, there are dozens of porcelain vases, and in front of each porcelain vase, there is a piece of red paper pasted on it, on which are the names of various items, including daggers, leather boots, and objects that Chen Jiang does not know, and even Giroud's favorite - spiced beans.
The people in the audience looked around and saw the people on the stage standing in a row, and then took out the soul crystal and threw it at the mouth of the bottle, but most of them were not close and threw it outside the bottle.
This...... Is this a temple?
No matter how he looks, it looks like a casino, a different kind of casino, or a leisure house with soul crystals.
Of course, Xiao Shi has not seen it, but Chen Jiang, who came from the earthly world, has seen a lot.
And the regulars here, instigating, "Hey, two, don't just look at it, come to the temple without throwing a bottle, go back and forth in vain." ”
At this time, Xiaoshi was already holding the edge of the platform, and saw a bottle at the back with the word "famous brand" pasted on it, and then turned back to Chen Jiang and shouted excitedly: "Look, it's that bottle." ”
