"Twelve. Bai Ningxi didn't want to blurt out, the man was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "At least fourteen." ”

"That's thirteen. Bai Ningxi spoke casually.

"Girl...... This ......," the man was visibly embarrassed, "we're just in the middle of nowhere, so you can't bully us like that?"

"Bullying?" Bai Ningxi suddenly felt funny, "The lazy bridge outside the city gate is only ten magic stones, you want fourteen here, are you embarrassed to say that I bullied you!?"

"Girl, you can't say that, there is a reason why we want fourteen here, our location here is also some distance from the city gate, just stuck in the middle position, it is specially prepared for those who are too lazy to walk outside the city gate to cross the bridge, this naturally, magic stones must be indispensable......"

"Thirteen. Bai Ningxi ignored his words and stubbornly spoke, the man looked embarrassed, lowered his eyes and calculated, Bai Ningxi saw the careful thinking in his eyes and ignored it, Lin Shuihan was also standing quietly aside at this time, silent.

"That'...... Well, thirteen is thirteen. After a while, the man nodded in agreement, and then Bai Ningxi counted out thirteen magic stones from his pocket and gave them to him, and then took Lin Shuihan to the bridge, "How do you cross this bridge?" she turned her head and asked the man.

The girl could just think about where she was going. ”

After that, Lin Shuihan and Bai Ningxi glanced at each other, then raised their feet and walked onto the bridge, they gradually walked towards the end of the bridge, one step, two steps, three steps, until the figures of the two of them disappeared from the sight of those people.

The two of them walked and walked, and there were still layers of clouds and mist drifting in front of them, Bai Ningxi couldn't help but wonder, "This can't be fake, right?" But as soon as her voice fell, a dim light was ushered in in front of her, Lin Shuihan and Bai Ningxi stopped, and what came into view was a layer of bookshelves.

"That's what it is...... Library?" Lin Shuihan couldn't help but be surprised, Bai Ningxi was also very surprised, and immediately turned her head to look behind her, and found that it was actually a door! She wanted to push open the door and take a look, but the sudden sound behind her made her stop-

"You guys came across the bridge?"

Just when the two of them were surprised, an old man with gray hair on crutches suddenly appeared behind them, Lin Shuihan and Bai Ningxi turned around instantly when they heard this, and then asked what place this was.

"This is the most secret bookstore in the Demon Realm, and it is also the smallest bookstore, and people can only come here through the lazy bridge controlled by consciousness. The old man glanced them up and down, then turned and sat aside.

Only then did the two of them realize that this library was really small, and the position they were standing in was almost the center of this library, and the whole library looked like a cave, surrounded by stone walls, and there was only this bookshelf in front of them, which was full of all kinds of worn-out books, which looked old, and next to the bookshelf, there was a table and a bed, and there was a pot of tea and a teacup on the table, and a bright candle, which was the light of this candle, barely illuminating this small place, and nothing else。

"Old man, are you alone here?" Lin Shuihan couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hmm~" the old man said with a long tail note.

"Old man, what kind of place is this?" Bai Ningxi also followed Lin Shuihan's words and asked the confusion in his heart, "Is it Wuchuan City? Is this library under the ground of Wuchuan City?"

The old man shook his head, "I don't know, but—" He paused suddenly, and then his gaze fell on Lin Shuihan, "I know what you're trying to do." ”

Lin Shuihan was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old man, and he said, "You have a purple magic stone on you, right?"

Lin Shuihan and Bai Ningxi were taken aback, "How do you know?"

"I'm over ninety years old, and I'm already a half-dead person, how can I not know?" he asked rhetorically, which made the two very strange, Lin Shuihan asked curiously, "Half-dead person, old man, you mean that the purple magic stone is only known by people who are dying or already dead, right?"

The old man shook his head, "It's not that I know, but I feel it, everyone in the Demon Realm has heard of the purple magic stone, but only the dying can feel its existence, and the dead can see the purple magic stone." ”

"Then I'm ......" Lin Shuihan just wanted to say, he was not a dead person, why could he see the purple magic stone, could it be that he was dying?

"You're different. The old man seemed to see through what he was thinking, and said, "In this world, there is another kind of person who can get purple magic stones from the hands of people who have died. ”

"Who is it?" Lin Shuihan asked cautiously.

"A man who is respected by the dead. ”

"What?!" The two of them were shocked when they heard this, Bai Ningxi immediately turned his head to look at Lin Shuihan, and then moved his gaze to the old man's body, "Old man, what do you mean by this, could it be that Lin Shuihan has won the respect of the dead?"

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten the purple magic stone, which was given to him by the dead man himself. After the old man said that, he lazily lay on the bed and carefully covered himself with a quilt, while Lin Shuihan and Bai Ningxi were stunned in place!

Bai Ningxi immediately remembered that Lin Shuihan said that he had arrived in a very strange mountain forest, and he said that there was a group of very strange people there, so she immediately reminded him, "You said before that you met a group of very strange people in the mountain forest, could those people ...... Is it a dead man?"

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, Lin Shuihan's whole person was stunned in place, he felt overwhelmed by what Bai Ningxi said, and the picture of getting along with them that night appeared in his mind in an instant, at that time, he had been talking, and they, who had never spoken, felt strange at that time, and now that he thinks about it, it turns out that it is because they are dead!

Dead people can't speak!

"Those people...... Why, will it appear there?" Lin Shuihan couldn't help but tremble in his voice, and slowly asked this question, what is that wood, what is it, and why do the dead people sit in groups around ......?

"There is the black forest of Xuanyou King City, a place for the dead to live, the people who go in, are all dead people, there have been living people who have entered, and then they have not returned, legend, is to offend the dead, pull him to be buried together, you, you are really lucky, not only did not offend them, but also got their respect, got their most precious purple magic stone, you should be lucky. ”

The old man lay on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, and explained, "But...... I obviously didn't do anything?" Lin Shuihan was still confused, how could he get their respect?

"What the dead need is peace. Lin Shuihan suddenly understood when he heard this, "So that's the case, it's because they need peace and quiet, and I have never disturbed them, so I have their respect, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"But ...... purple magic stone?" he took out the magic stone, put it in the palm of his hand and kept staring at it, if this magic stone was only obtained because he was respected by the dead, then why did he have such a picture in his mind when he touched him? A baby falling from the sky...... No matter how much he thought about it, he thought it was incredible, why would a baby ...... fall from the sky inexplicably?

"Old man, I have something I want to ask you. Lin Shuihan stepped forward lightly.

"What?" the old man was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

"This magic stone, does it make people see something?" Lin Shuihan asked cautiously.

"What's that?"

"It's just、Some strange picture ......"

"What picture?" The old man immediately opened his eyes and looked at Lin Shuihan, "You mean, you saw some pictures with the purple magic stone?"

Lin Shuihan nodded.

"What do you see?"

"It's a baby, falling from the sky. ”

"Babies falling from the sky?" Bai Ningxi walked to his side and looked at him puzzled, "What does this mean?"

Lin Shuihan also shook his head, "I don't know either." At the same time, his eyes for help fell on the old man's body, only to see him drooping his eyes and thinking, without saying a word, even Bai Ningxi did not get a response when he talked to him, as if it had been a long time, the old man slowly yawned and said: "I don't know anymore, if you are curious, go to the bookshelf over there to look through the ancient books to find the answer, I am old, and I can't remember many things clearly." ”

With that, he closed his eyes again and turned to sleep on his side, pulling the quilt up a bit.

Lin Shuihan and Bai Ningxi had no choice but to bother him, after all, he was so old, so he simply turned around and walked to the bookshelf according to his words, and began to pick up the ancient books on it and read them one by one.

The night was getting deeper, outside Qingyuan City, the white cat took Xiao Yuan and they waited outside the post station for nearly half an hour, and finally it was their turn, except for the white cat, the other three people had never seen what the lazy bridge looked like, so they were all full of expectations, not knowing what kind of magical thing this was.

After entering the station, it was a limited, fiery red space, and they were in it, as if they were surrounded by a burning flame, as if they had come to a boundless world, and there was no beginning or end in sight, and in front of them, there was an arched bridge, and in the middle of the bridge, it was divided into two by a fiery red barrier, and they could not see the other side of the bridge, and their vision was all blocked by the barrier.

The bridge keeper standing at the head of the bridge saw that Xiao Yuan and Li Shiran had an extraordinary bearing, and compared with those ordinary people before, there was an awe-inspiring righteousness on their bodies, so they stepped forward and wanted to cast a spell to test the breath on their bodies.
