Chapter 282: The Past

Mo Chen turned around, looked at the oily middle-aged man in front of him, and said secretly in his heart: "Strange! Everyone else in this ghost town looks half-dead, why does this person still look a little human! What's going on?"

With the question in his heart, Mo Chen looked at the owner of the hotel and asked, "What is Mo Gui doing?"

The greasy middle-aged man smiled and said, "The contemptible surname is A, I have been running this restaurant in this ghost town for some years, I see that a few of them have already come in, and they are gone for Mo again!"

Mo Chen was about to speak, when Blood Diamond Heaven took the lead and said, "Don't you know why we left? Look at your shop, what has become of it! I can't figure out what you've done for so many years!"

Boss A said with a smile: "Don't be angry, a few guest officers, my shop, but it is the best decorated one in this ghost town, and I am not afraid that you will go to see it in person, their store is not even as good as me!"

Blood Diamond Tian laughed and said, "Boss A, don't be joking, okay! Just your store, you are embarrassed to say that it is the best store in the entire ghost town?"

Boss A looked at Mo Chen and a few of them and asked, "Hey, hey, hey, how many of you just came to the vicinity of the ghost town, haven't you ever known about the ghost town before?"

Mo Chen nodded and said, "That's right! We stumbled into the ghost town by accident!"

Boss A laughed and said, "That's right! It's no wonder you! Since you haven't known about ghost towns before, you naturally don't understand the reason for this!"

Mo Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "I want to hear about it!"

Boss A motioned for Mo Chen and them to come in and talk, Mo Chen hesitated for a moment, and finally walked in.

They sat down at a table that looked relatively complete, and Boss A said leisurely: "You don't know! In this ghost town, it's hard to see a living person like me!"

Mo Chen nodded and said, "I feel the same way! What's going on? Why did those people become like that?"

Boss A sighed, shook his head and said, "That's a long story! In fact, a ghost town was not called a ghost town a few decades ago!"

"It's called Xinghua City! But with the arrival of one person, it completely changed the fate of Xinghua City!"

Mo Chen tentatively said, "Demon King?"

Boss A raised his eyebrows and said, "You guys have also made some preparations!"

Mo Chen smiled and said, "You go on!"

Boss A took a sip of tea and continued: "Xinghua City was originally quite prosperous, but with the advent of the Demon King, this place has become a purgatory!"

"As soon as this demon king came to Xinghua City, he killed the city lord at that time, and overnight, he uprooted all the other forces in Xinghua City, and the means were extremely tough!"

"It stands to reason that the forces in this city are fighting each other, and it has nothing to do with us ordinary people! We don't care who is the city lord, as long as I have a bite to eat!"

"But the people of Xinghua City are wrong! After the Demon King successfully became the city lord, he began to slaughter the county towns around Xinghua City and some smaller villages!"

"I heard that he used a spell called Hundred Ghosts Night Walking, every night, thousands of evil ghosts pounced on the village chiefs around Xinghua City, and everywhere they passed, there was not a single grass, and there was no living mouth!"

"The people living in Xinghua City were also very frightened at first, but after a long time, they found that although this demon king was hateful, he only slaughtered people outside Xinghua City, and he was very good to the people living in Xinghua City!"

"Basically, every month, I will scatter gold coins and food for them! Slowly, the demon king will become a demon who does all kinds of evil in the eyes of others! But in the eyes of the people of Xinghua City, he will become a wise city lord!"

"The Demon King has been doing evil like this, so he will naturally attract retribution. I heard that one day, the heads of the eight major factions gathered together and rushed to destroy the Demon King!"

"The Demon King was seriously injured after being beaten, and he was about to die at the hands of the heads of the Eight Great Sects, but unexpectedly, at this time, the people of Xinghua City suddenly stood up, and they spontaneously surrounded the Demon King, vowing to protect the Demon King. ”

When Mo Chen heard this, he said in amazement: "How can there be such a thing! How can they protect a demon who kills people without blinking!"

Blood Diamond Sky sneered and said, "It's not because the Demon King usually sends them money and food when they are fine, they don't care how many people die outside, as long as they are fine!"

Boss A swallowed his saliva and continued: "Alas! It's all those people to blame! The people of the Eight Great Sects had no choice but to retreat in the end, and the Demon King survived!"

"After a period of recuperation, the Demon King began to slaughter the surrounding villages again, and as a result, no one was slaughtered in these villages later!"

"The Demon King turned his target to the people in Xinghua City, but he didn't directly slaughter the people in Xinghua City, but it was equivalent to keeping them in captivity, regularly extracting a part of their souls from their bodies every month, and torturing them for a long time!"

Mo Chen asked suspiciously, "Why have all these years passed, hasn't anyone come over to kill the Demon King?"

Boss A sighed and said, "Alas, it's not because of what happened back then, they spontaneously protected the Demon King, so now no one cares about Xinghua City!"

"Slowly, Xinghua City has changed from a prosperous city to what it is today, and has become a veritable ghost town!"

After listening to Boss A's story, Mo Chen and the others said with a sigh: "People, I am really blinded by interests, and in front of interests, sometimes I can't even tell the difference between black and white!"

Blood Diamond Tian sneered and said, "Hmph! Who is to blame! It's not because of themselves! The sins they have done themselves are now to be repaid by themselves!"

Mo Chen frowned, and said thoughtfully: "Boss A, what you just said is not a subjective reason, right?"

"I guess the main reason is that the strength of the Demon King is getting stronger and stronger, so that the Eight Great Sects can't completely suppress the Demon King in the end!"

Boss A raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Chen and said, "That's right! This young man guessed well! I heard that the eight major factions finally surrounded and suppressed the Demon King, but the result"

Mo Chen said slowly: "The result must have failed!"

Boss A said with a smile: "It's really hard to escape the eyesight of this young man! I heard that which battle was extremely tragic, and the masters of the eight major factions suffered countless casualties, and even the head of the sect died three of them!"

"Several other leaders have also been injured to varying degrees, and since this battle, no one has come to trouble the Demon King!"

"And the Eight Great Factions have also been greatly injured because of this battle, and they have been dormant ever since, and it is rare to see people from the Eight Great Factions in the rivers and lakes!"

Lu Tao said in shock: "This demon king is too powerful! I have heard of the people of the eight major factions, all of them are top masters, but I didn't expect that even the eight major factions could not subdue the demon king!"

Because Mo Chen didn't know the specific strength of the eight major factions, he didn't dare to speculate.

Mo Chen looked at Boss A with a deep groan and asked, "Do you know what strength the Demon Ghost King has reached now?"

Boss A shook his head with a smile and said, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, this young man is just laughing! I'm just a businessman, how can I know what the Demon King is cultivating now, what I just told you is also from other people's mouths!"

"How much of it is real and how much is fake, I really can't say this! Anyway, let's just have a lively time, just talk about it after dinner!"

Blood Diamond Tian looked at Boss A and asked suspiciously, "That's not right! According to what you say, this ghost city is like a dead city! Then why do you still want to open a restaurant here?"

Boss A shook his head and said, "When it comes to cultivation, I may not be as good as a few of you, but when it comes to this business business, a few of you are not as good as me!"

Blood Diamond Tian's eyes were full of fine light, and he immediately came to Boss A's side, and asked excitedly, "Tell us about it!"

Boss A stroked his goatee and said slowly, "Yes, this ghost town looks lifeless, and it is indeed not a place to do business, but I prefer to do the opposite." ”

"At present, there are still a few restaurants in this ghost town, and when there is no one restaurant left, will I become the only restaurant in this ghost town, and the price is not up to me to set at will!"

Feng Shu interrupted Boss A's words and said, "You're thinking too well, look at who will come to eat here in this ghost town." It's so desolate and no one comes, what are you going to do!"

Boss A said mysteriously: "Look at what you said, no one is coming, you guys haven't come yet! Although the ghost town is desolate, it has also stimulated some people's interest here!"

"The more desolate and mysterious the ghost town, the more mysterious. The more people want to know about ghost towns, like you young heroes!

Mo Chen smiled helplessly and said, "After talking about it for a long time, it turns out that you are waiting for us here! Then you take out your menu here and let me see, a few of us are just hungry, let's eat here!"

Boss A smiled and said, "Okay!"

As he spoke, he took out a crumpled piece of yellow paper from behind him, on which many names of dishes were scribbled on it.

Mo Chen muttered to himself: "Don't look at the place here, it's quite broken, but there are still a lot of types of dishes!

Boss A patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! You are also the first wave of customers today, and you will definitely be satisfied with your food!"

Mo Chen handed over the menu to Blood Diamond Heaven and the others, they casually ordered a few dishes on the menu, and handed it to Boss A, who took the menu with a smile and told them to wait for a while, and then ran to the back kitchen!

Mo Chen looked at Boss A's back and said helplessly: "After doing it for so long, he is the only one in the whole restaurant!"

Blood Diamond Tian's stomach screamed with hunger, he crawled on the table weakly, looked at the people outside the restaurant who were like walking corpses, and said: "Mo Chen! Listen to what Boss A said, this demon king is very powerful, do we still want to provoke him!"

Mo Chen frowned and said in a deep voice, "The specific situation still needs to be judged again, let's see what kind of cultivation the Demon Ghost King is currently doing!"

"I remember when I saw him in the Southern Sky Realm before, he should be in the Venerable Realm, I don't know what realm he has reached now!"

Feng Shu sneered and said, "Hmph, at most, just like you, with his qualifications, it's good to be able to reach the emperor's realm." What's more, every level of the Emperor's Palm Realm is so difficult, we don't have to worry too much!"

Mo Chen muttered to himself: "I hope so! He bullied the people here like this, and in broad daylight, he unscrupulously sucked the souls of the people, which is really an unforgivable sin! We must do the right thing for heaven and seek justice for the people here!"

Just as Mo Chen was speaking, Boss A had already walked up with large and small plates, and happened to hear what Mo Chen had just said, Boss A smiled and said, "I also see that I am more destined for a few of you, so I will advise you to say a word, forget it!"

"Every year, there are many people who have the same idea as you, saying that they want to get rid of the demon king. Generally speaking, those who say these words are some stunned young people who have just begun to break through the rivers and lakes!"

"Who is the Demon King! The eight major factions have no way to deal with him, can they be solved by relying on those stunned young people who have just begun to roam the rivers and lakes?"

"Although you have extraordinary bearings, I advise you to dispel this idea, stay in this ghost town for a few days and leave quickly!

Mo Chen smiled and looked at Boss A and said, "Thank you for the boss's kindness, a few of us have our own proportions! If the strength of the Demon King is really very strong, we will definitely not be stupid!"

Boss A shook his head helplessly and sat down at the counter!

Mo Chen and the others looked at the steaming and fragrant food on the table and said, "I really can't see it, Boss A's craftsmanship is really good!

Blood Diamond Tian couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, gobbling it up and began to eat, while eating, he stretched out his thumb and praised Boss A: "Yes!

Boss A nodded with a smile and didn't speak, he didn't want to disturb Mo Chen and the others eating!

It didn't take long for the table full of food to be cleaned up by Mo Chen and the others!

Everyone
