Chapter Seventy-Seven: The First Arrival in Hades
In the Sunless Ghost Market, it is like a ruin, lifeless, eerie, and does not want to be inhabited at all. There is only one building that is quite extravagant and dazzling, the five-storey restaurant, the lights are bright, you can see the singing and dancing inside from the window, everyone is quite happy, a plaque with gold characters on a red background, and it reads "Dead Man's Building"
Xuanyuan smiled and flew over, and accidentally bumped into a man in front of the door, he immediately said, "Brother, I'm sorry" After taking a closer look, the man disappeared, and suddenly felt a little weird.
But in the dead man's building, it was full of people, the shopkeeper frowned and even planned to plate, the little two greeted again and again, the geisha played music, the dancers sang happily, everyone applauded, and the atmosphere was very happy.
Even Xuanyuan smiled and walked towards the door with a smile, just stepping in. Seeing that the picture suddenly changed, everyone disappeared, the room was dim, the tables and chairs were in tatters, the stairs were broken and hung, and there was a faint "chirping" sound. Looking up at the sky, there is no second floor at all. It is very different from the scenery of Fangcai.
In the dimly lit corner of the room, there was a burst of laughter. At a closer look, it turned out to be a thin old man, with messy white hair, tattered clothes, slightly sunken eyes, and a face with so many wrinkles that it almost covered his facial features, more like a zombie than Rugong and Biqing, and he couldn't tell whether it was a person or a ghost.
The old man laughed, rubbed his hands together, and shook as if he was about to fall at any time, came to Xuanyuan Xiao, and opened his toothless mouth and said, "Little brother, do you want to drink, or live in a hotel?"
This voice was extremely vicissitudes, and Xuanyuan laughed with goosebumps all over his body, swallowed his saliva, and was afraid that the old man would not hear it, so he specially yelled, "Old man~ I'm here to apply for a trial~~~"
The old man was startled by the sudden yell, and closed his eyes tightly, his expression sad. Grabbing his ear, he yelled, "You're insane, why are you so loud! I'm not deaf~~~~~~" The tail note was deliberately lengthened and sharpened, and the decibel level was instantly elevated.
The old man let out a long sigh of relief, and said unhappily, "Follow me"
Xuanyuan, who had eaten the old man's loud roar, suddenly had ringing in his ears, his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear what he said at all, so he opened his mouth and said, "Old uncle, what are you talking about?"
The old man tried to open his eyes, glared at him, and then jumped up and grabbed his ear and shouted, "Follow ~me~come~"
Xuanyuan Xiao's eardrums were about to burst, and he heard a loud "oh" seriously, and followed the old man to the counter in the corner.
The old man entered the counter and rummaged around, took out two bottles of liquid medicine, put them on the table with a token, and said impatiently, "Hand over the token of your sect, and then drink the liquid medicine." β
At this time, Xuanyuan smiled a lot better, put the personal token of the Beast Control Gate on the table, clasped his ears and asked, "Old uncle, what kind of medicine is this?"
"It's the beast control door again, why have there been some idiots in recent years, just you kid is the most troublesome, look for smoke, you can drink if you are told to drink, so much nonsense" The old man shouted, although he had worked very hard, but he still couldn't hear any temper in his tone, at most he just had a bad attitude.
Xuanyuan Xiao picked up the small bottle, unplugged the stopper, and suddenly exuded a smell of wine. As soon as he heard the curse, he couldn't stand the temptation, dodged and grabbed it, and drank it.
The next moment his eyes widened, and his whole body froze and remained motionless. Xuanyuan Xiao was very anxious when he saw this, slapped the wooden table hard, and said angrily to the old man, "What is this?"
"Hehe, don't worry, you also have a bottle" The old man smiled thiefly, and put another bottle of liquid medicine in his hand into Xuanyuan Xiao's hand.
The curse grabbed his neck and chirped "cough~cough!I'll wipe @#%!%#Β₯@ζε€ιΎεη, but you should also drink and see"
Xuanyuan smiled and heard this, no longer asked, and glanced at the old man, and his mouth was quite crisp.
Suddenly rushed out of an indescribable vicious smell, even the breath could smell this smell, disgusting to the point that ordinary people could not bear it, Xuanyuan Xiao's stomach kept stirring, his face was red, and he looked like he was about to vomit.
The old man on the side laughed, "Don't vomit, if you vomit, it won't work, especially for you, are you still satisfied?"
At the same time, a cursed voice came to my head, "Don't vomit, this potion is amazing"
Xuanyuan smiled fiercely, closed his eyes tightly, and tried to swallow a breath of evil breath, holding his breath and enduring. It took a long time before I slowly opened my eyes.
The eyes suddenly became bright, and the originally thin old man in front of him turned into the fat shopkeeper he saw outside the door. The counter is decorated with a variety of fine wines, the surrounding tables and chairs are in good condition, and the people in the hall are eating and drinking, just like when they see the scene outside the door.
The sound of frolicking and noisy gradually sounded in my ears, and the beautiful voice of the geisha became clearer and clearer. made Xuanyuan smile a little into the illusion of the feeling, suddenly a little stunned, I don't know how to say.
"It's amazing," he cursed, waking up the demented Regulus with a smile.
The shopkeeper looked at Xuanyuan with the eyes of a hillbilly and smiled, handed him a token engraved with the word "ghost", and said, "You put this away, if you lose it, you will bear all the consequences." There are no rules in the Ghost City, only one thing, remember, whoever makes a move in the town will die. Murderers, refined into corpse souls. Finally, every two months, I received the "Ghost Covering Liquid" as what you just drank. Well, you're good to go. β
"Then ......," Xuanyuan smiled and was about to speak
But he was blocked by the shopkeeper and said, "Don't, yes, I've said everything I should say, and I don't have time to greet you if you look for someone else." β
Xuanyuan smiled slightly unhappy in his heart, threw down the sentence "What's the big deal" and walked towards the door and came to the street.
At this time, the street is no longer like a rotten ruin where a bird does not lay eggs, at this moment there is a lot of traffic, there are many vendors and shops, and there are also several high-rise buildings, people come and go, food, clothing, housing, transportation, entertainment, everything is completely different from Fang Cai.
said that it was extremely lively, but in Xuanyuan Xiao's heart, he felt very weird, and he began to be a little unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy.
In fact, the Ghost City of the Sun was set up by the Soul Sect to set up a huge enchantment network "Ghost Array in the Netherworld", and even Xuanyuan Xiao, who resisted illusions and anti-dreams, was also tricked, which can show that these are not illusions. This is like a mirage, which affects people's sense of sight, hearing, and smell. The only thing is that the sense of touch remains the same, so Xuanyuan will have the feeling of bumping into someone.
And the dead man's building is set up with a double enchantment, so it will make people feel different from inside and outside, this formation is deep and difficult to understand, more or less there are some ghosts to help, and only by drinking the special ghost mask can you see through the ghost formation in the underworld, or you have to reach the void period, you have the ability to see through the void.
The curse couldn't wait, took a big breath, salivated with a smile, hugged his stomach and smiled, "It's so fragrant, Qiong cake, I'm coming"
Xuanyuan laughed at the curse and saw that the curse was so crazy, and immediately stopped him, grabbed his tail, dragged him back, and said, "Just came here, don't trouble me, I'll buy it for you." β
"Qiong cake ~ hot qiong cake ~ freshly baked, guaranteed to be delicious. Qiong cake ~ Qiong cake that is a specialty of the ghost market in the sun," a sheep-bearded man shouted.
Seeing Xuanyuan smiling slowly, the sheep bearded man immediately stepped forward and said, "Little brother, do you want to have some Qiong cake, this taste is only available in our ghost market, sweet and delicious, melts in the mouth, and is not dry or greasy." You look at these freshly baked ones, you smell them, and they definitely smell the best."
Listening to the introduction of the sheep bearded man, Xuanyuan smiled and felt hungry, if it weren't for the struggle to suppress the curse with both hands, and still retain a trace of reason, otherwise he might also rush up to eat first and then give money, "Boss, how to sell this Qiong cake?"
The sheep-bearded man patted his chest and reassured, "Our price is fair and affordable." A piece of broken soul crystal, seeing that the little brother is so knowledgeable, if you buy two pieces, I will give one more piece"
The saliva of the curse was already flowing all over the ground, and he shouted frantically, "I want it all, hahahaha~~~ You kid give me money quickly"
Xuanyuan smiled and glared, and said to the sheep bearded man in embarrassment, "Boss, I first arrived in the Ghost City of the Sunless Ghost City, and I haven't broken the soul crystal yet, can I buy it with you with silver taels?"
The sheep bearded man piled Xuanyuan's silver back with both hands, handed him a piece of Qiong cake in his hand, and said enthusiastically, "No... No, no, little brother must not know, except for the broken soul crystal, the rest of the Ghost City will not be accepted, and I can't use your silver taels, I'm really sorry. If you send this piece, you will be a friend, and you will come back often in the future."
Xuanyuan smiled and took the Qiong cake to the curse, and then hugged his fist to the sheep bearded man and said, "Boss, thank you so much, I want to ask a question, I heard that the soul crystal was obtained from the Heavenly Axe Valley, I wonder if the boss knows how to go to the Heavenly Axe Valley?"
The sheep bearded man pointed to a rock wall in the distance, and said, "Oh~ Where is the Heavenly Axe Valley, little brother, you have to be careful, the monsters inside will eat people." β
"Thank you, boss, I will definitely come to buy cakes with you often in the future," Xuanyuan said with a smile.
The sheep bearded man waved at him and said with a smile, "You're polite, come often in the future, I'll give you a discount"
