Chapter Forty-Six: Laixiali
The land of Laixiali, hundreds of miles in a radius, is vast, it was originally a prosperous place, and it is connected to the Tianbin Dragon Palace, which is condensed by the qi of heaven and earth, and even a paradise among adults. However, after a natural disaster a thousand years ago, the people were devastated, and the government continued to expropriate, so there was a riot, and after the failure, hundreds of thousands of people were executed here, bleeding all over the ground, and the bones were covered with mountains.
There are countless people who have died unjustly, and over time, the soul has been condensed, and for thousands of years, this place has slowly become a place where countless people are shocked and disgraced, and almost no one dares to break into it again, becoming a paradise for ghosts.
On this day, a young man dressed as a scholar, with a beautiful face and a black-clothed guard, took some paper money, wine and food, and went to a grassy hill near a lake to start paying respects.
This scholarly boy is extravagant and has an indescribable temperament, and the maids and guards around him are also extraordinary, I don't know why he appeared here?
"Huh?"
After a round of worship, while the paper money was burned, the boy sat cross-legged with various mudras on his hands, as if praying sincerely. It's just that these handprints didn't have the effect they should have, and the young man couldn't help frowning.
He is naturally Fan Xueli.
This is the second day of entering Laixiali, and he finally arrived at the place, but he didn't notice anything, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"According to the city lord, the place where the spirit clam bead was found is here. And the people I remember who got the supernatural holy relics thousands of years ago are also roughly in this direction, why is there no breath here?"
With Fan Xueli's current perception, using the handprint of the alchemy master, if there were treasures, yin souls, medicinal herbs, etc., there would naturally be a trace of reaction, but in this place, it was empty.
"Maybe it's because of the passage of time......" Fan Xue was a little stunned, but quickly relieved this emotion, and this frustration was nothing.
Thinking of this, he raised his eyes, but saw a curling smoke rising from the sky in the distance, and a low red wall in the distance, which seemed to be inhabited.
"This is a land of ghosts, how can it be inhabited? Fan Xueli said to Nie Qiuyu and the Dark Throne beside her in a deep voice, then she held back her breath and walked over there, her heart on guard.
Slowly came to the red wall, behind the low wall there were several old ladies, surrounded by a large cauldron, which was full of children's heads and feet.
Fan Xueli and the others were taken aback.
When the old lady saw Fan Xueli and the others, she said, "Don't be surprised. These are all fallen monks in the world, and before they have completed their cultivation, they steal the shape of people, so they boil them to rot, so that they cannot grow up in the world, and they die at a young age. ”
These old ladies have a dull breath, a faint haze, and dry skin, obviously ghosts.
Hearing this, not to mention Nie Qiuyu, even Fan Xueli was slightly taken aback, and then he realized that these old ladies did not have a trace of murderous aura on them, and they were not the kind of people who were guilty of the sky, it seemed that their words did not lie to them.
"It turns out that sometimes everything that the eye sees is only one side of it. Thinking of this, Fan Xueli had a deeper experience of this sentence.
Then he said to the old ladies, "I see, thank you for your advice." May I ask if this is a ghost?"
The old lady at the head nodded approvingly and said, "You guessed right. I didn't expect you to be new to the scene, and when you see such a scene, it is indeed not simple. I think the purpose of your coming here should be to go to the Desert Mermaid Clan's Dao Discussion Festival and wait for the birth of a once-in-a-millennium supernatural relic, right?"
Although this old lady is a ghost, she has a good attitude, even much better than most people in the world.
Hearing this, Fan Xueli's heart beat suddenly, the Desert Mermaid Clan had a supernatural holy relic? You must know that the supernatural holy relic that the person obtained thousands of years ago in his memory was related to the mermaid clan. Maybe the ancient aura of the Heavenly Star Bead emanated from this supernatural holy relic, right?
At that moment, he said in a deep voice: "I wonder if a few old ladies can point us in the direction?"
"Walk along here all the way to the east, there is a ferry, take the ferry there, and on the other side is where the desert merfolk are. The old lady paused and said, "The desert mermaid clan is the king of all ghosts, hiding countless riches, and the ghosts who want to go to the desert merfolk are too numerous to mention, but few succeed, let alone humans." ”
She couldn't help but shake her head, a worried look on her face.
Fan Xueli said softly: "What the old lady pointed out is that we will definitely be cautious. He took out a few Quenching Pills and handed them to the old lady to express his gratitude.
These quenching pills were refined by him later, using bronze tripods, and there was no medicinal property bonus, but for these old ladies, they were definitely rare.
The old lady waved her hand and said, "I've been here long enough, and I'm too tired from being oppressed, so what's the difference if I barely live a little longer? Her tone was extremely sincere, and she looked at Fan Xueli like a grandson.
Fan Xueli put a few pills in the old lady's hand, and said seriously: "The old lady is instructed, I am grateful, a small gift, please be sure to accept it." He saw that the old lady's breath was like a candle in the wind, if there was no quenching pill, he was afraid that it would not last long.
Then he turned and headed for the ferry to the east.
At this time, the old lady couldn't help but say: "Remember that at that ferry port, you must be respectful to the ferryman." The ferryman is very greedy and rebellious, and you must give gifts to the ferryman, and you must not offend ......"
She was visibly terrified of the ferryman, and her voice was filled with fear.
Fan Xueli turned around and saluted the old lady, her face calm. Now, with the cultivation of the Dark Throne, those ghosts are not much of a threat to him.
Not long after Fan Xue left, the old lady looked at the Quenching Pill in her hand and suddenly let out an exclamation.
The quenching pill flashed with crystal light, had the qi that connected heaven and earth, and even when taken it, it also had a powerful compensating effect on the power of ghosts.
Almost every old lady had taken such an elixir, and in just half a cup of tea, they found that they were already close to the end of their lives, and they had at least ten more years of ghost life.
This is the so-called small gift? When they think of this, their hearts are full of gratitude.
Just at the same time, the old lady at the head whispered: "It's not good, look at this son's temperament, although his temperament is indifferent, but there is a kind of arrogance, if he meets those high-ranking ferrymen, I'm afraid that something will go wrong!" Without hesitation, she took out some of the netherworld currency they had stored over the years and rushed towards the direction where Fan Xue left.
Fan Xueli slowly arrived at the ferry port on the east lake, and sure enough, he saw dozens of ferrymen around.
"Who?" said a ferryman, squinting.
These ferrymen all had the word "brave" on their chests, and their eyes were full of fierce and evil spirits, and ghosts swept away. Although their cultivation is not high, the boats and boats here have special prohibitions, and only they can drive them, so they are becoming more and more arrogant and conceited.
"This leads to the Desert Merfolk Clan, and if you can help with the ferry, I will have a lot to pay. Fan Xueli said lightly, he also brought a lot of money in the underworld, money can make money, he naturally doesn't want to cause trouble.
"What kind of place do you think this is, so unruly? Master Ben is happy, so he will give you a ride, if you are not happy, let you be destroyed!" The ferryman sneered, obviously Fan Xueli called him Your Excellency, but did not call the master, which made his face look unhappy.
They have been firmly entrenched here for decades, and they are invincible, and if someone offends them in the slightest, they can drown all the people on board by summoning the waves during the ferry.
"What's more, the land of the desert mermaid clan is also qualified for you to go?" He suddenly put on a stand: "Even the lord and I don't dare to approach the ten miles radius there!
He was obviously extremely jealous of the desert merfolk.
Hearing this, Fan Xueli frowned, the dozens of ferrymen here combined, they couldn't stop a few killings from the Dark Throne, but if there were no these ferrymen, he didn't know the direction and couldn't control this ferryboat, it would be a trouble.
At this moment, an old lady's voice suddenly came from a distance: "Ferry master, raise your noble hand!" It was the old lady who was boiling the pot before, and she rushed up. At this moment, she hurried to the ferryman's side, and had already stuffed a few gold stickers with money to the ferryman.
The ferryman couldn't help but laugh and said, "It turns out that you brought these guys who don't know the height of the sky?"
Originally, he was worried that these people in front of him had a great background, but now when he saw the old lady, he was relieved, and he had already intended to kill all these people in front of him, take their treasures, and devour the flesh, *woman.
"My lord......" The old lady couldn't help but change her complexion, just now she had sent all the money over, but she didn't expect that the other party was not satisfied, and she also showed this killing intent, she couldn't help but look at Fan Xueli in horror, and the meaning in her eyes was to tell Fan Xueli to flee quickly.
