Chapter 44: The Netherworld Hundred Dawns
After being full of wine and food, Xiaoying summoned the shopkeeper to prepare to pay, but the proprietress took advantage of the lack of customers and ran to pull them to chat.
didn't buy it, Xiaoying naturally didn't dare to mess around in Netherworld City in the name of eating overlord meals, and she didn't dare to refuse the boss lady in a high-profile manner, after all, in this city, there is still the big enemy of the White Bone Niang.
You must know that the white bone lady is willing to resist the ghost king's palm, and the rich woman who took out the teleportation reel, if she knew that Xiaoying was in the Netherworld, she would definitely catch Xiaoying at all costs.
Compared to Xiaoying, the sister of the ghost king, the residents of the Netherworld must choose to help the white bone lady.
"I said, Little Shadow Girl, did you come to Netherworld to do something?" Noticing Xiaoying's frequent outward gaze, the proprietress couldn't help asking.
Remembering the business of coming to the Netherworld, Xiaoying nodded, and sat up straight: "Does the proprietress know where the ghost doctor in the Netherworld lives?" ”
"Ghost doctor? What are you looking for her? The hostess asked vigilantly.
Ghost doctors are hard to find, because few people are willing to abandon everything and become ghost doctors who save souls.
It is the power of Netherworld that attracts a ghost doctor to settle down, it can be said that she is a living treasure shared in Netherworld, and no one with a bit of brains will let others have a chance to take away the ghost doctor.
Realizing that his problem was abrupt, Xiaoying explained awkwardly: "One of my eldest brothers met this ghost doctor, and it happened that I came to Netherworld, so he told me to stop by to see my friends, but I was in too much of a hurry when I went out, and I didn't ask the ghost doctor's address." ”
"It's a vain question if you ask." Seeing that Xiaoying didn't look like she was lying, the proprietress was obviously a lot more relaxed.
Blinking suspiciously, Xiaoying asked naturally, "Why?" ”
"The ghost doctor never rests in the same place, and the huge Netherworld is full of her home, so no one will know her address."
"How? Then I won't be able to find her. Xiaoying lowered her head in frustration.
At this time, she didn't deliberately show this expression, after all, she was indeed a little depressed in her heart.
Before leaving, the words passed down from generation to generation, she still remembers, and she still wants to help the ghost monarch welcome back the fourth lady, and then go to the Phantom City as soon as possible, if it is delayed because of the ghost doctor, it is likely that when she goes to the Phantom City, the spirit gathering initiated here has already ended, and then she, the resentful spirit, will wander on the streets of the Phantom City, which will definitely attract the pursuit of the Feng Zhanshi.
"Don't give up too early, I've heard Master say that there is an old man in Netherworld who calls himself Bai Xiaosheng, and there is nothing in the city that he doesn't know." Xiao Xun comforted.
Hearing Bai Xiaosheng's title, the proprietress snorted and said disdainfully: "Just that old man, don't talk about the ghost doctor, it is estimated that he can't even find the City Lord's Mansion." ”
Xiaoying's face had just improved, and when she heard the words of the boss lady, she suddenly deteriorated.
Xiao Xun looked at the proprietress speechlessly, her glass eyes were full of accusations, and the proprietress also realized that she was speaking too straight, and just wanted to comfort and comfort Xiaoying, she felt the extra breath behind her.
keenly took the chair foot as a leg, and opened half of her body gorgeously, so that the three of the proprietress could clearly see the appearance of the visitor.
Straw-like hair obscured most of his face, and the few that remained outside his hair were particularly withered, as if his body had only been covered with human skin over his bones.
The only attraction was that his eyes were so bright that they seemed to be able to see everything.
"Boss, you just threw my grandson out of the store today, and you still talk bad about me behind my back, have you really been a long-eyed and dizzy road idiot for my ghostly Bai Xiaosheng?" Just when Xiaoying determined the image of the old man in his heart, he spoke.
Hearing that he called himself Bai Xiaosheng, Xiaoying immediately became interested, before she believed the words of the boss lady, but after seeing the old man's eyes, Xiaoying thought that he might really have the capital to call himself Bai Xiaosheng.
"You're too embarrassed to come here and ask for sin." The old man mentioned his grandson, and the proprietress was furious.
Sensing the killing intent on her body, Xiao Xun immediately pulled Xiao Ying away from the table.
Before the two of them could completely come back to their senses, the proprietress and the old man had fought each other for some time, in short, all Xiaoying could see now was a table that fell apart.
Subconsciously touched the table next to her, Xiaoying opened her mouth in surprise, and when Xiao Xun pushed her and asked about the situation, she muttered: "How did they fall apart with such a sturdy table?" ”
didn't hear her words clearly, Xiao Xun didn't ask, just stared at the boss lady and the old man with curiosity.
This kind of instantaneous domineering confrontation, but the type she likes very much, although Yan Lao knows a lot of skills, but those mostly belong to the assassination system, ordinary enemies, Xiao Xun can solve them by himself, not ordinary enemies, Yan Lao often uses his best skills, so Xiao Xun has never had the opportunity to see the confrontation in front of him.
Unlike Xiao Xun, Xiao Ying has always thought that her strength is still shallow, so she has always refused to watch the confrontation between the strong, but she still wants to ask the old man if she knows the address of the ghost doctor, so naturally she can't just leave.
What she didn't expect was that the proprietress and the old man stood like that, staring at each other for a long time, and in this half a day, the entire tavern except for the table closest to Xiaoying, the others had become broken wood.
As for the guests of the tavern, as early as the moment the old man spoke, they ran away without a trace, probably because they were afraid that the proprietress would settle accounts afterwards, and when they fled, they did not forget to leave the money for the wine and food.
Seeing the intact table next to Xiaoying, the old man asked in a low voice, "Who are these two girls?" ”
"Aren't you known as the Netherworld? I don't know the identities of the two of them. The proprietress retorted sarcastically.
Knowing the opposing position between himself and the proprietress, the old man glared at the proprietress depressedly, and then turned to Xiaoying and asked, "Girl, what treasure do you have on you, I'll take a look at the old man, if I like it, I'll tell you a secret, how about it?" ”
"Baby, what baby?" Xiaoying blinked suspiciously.
Of course, this is just pretending.
From the old man who looked at the table beside her before, she felt that something was wrong, and in the bottom of her heart, the ethereal voice also reminded her that when the old man and the proprietress glared at each other before, they released their magic power without interruption, if it weren't for the undead book body, Xiaoying would have turned into a pile of scattered bones like those tables.
As for the value of the Book of the Dead, Xiaoying gradually became clear, coupled with its special significance, even if Xiaoying lied, he had to protect it.
"Don't think you can fool the old man if you don't admit it, that baby is in your arms, right?"
was said by the old man, Xiaoying subconsciously looked at the place where the book of the dead was in her arms, but when she looked down, she found a hand like a bone, reaching straight towards the book of the dead.
"Bang~"
Without waiting for Xiaoying to make a move, the old man who wanted to get the Book of the Dead was ejected by an invisible magic force, and when he looked up at Xiaoying, the Book of the Dead was already suspended in the air, rubbing against Xiaoying's cheeks like a naughty child.
Holding the Book of the Dead with a smile, Xiaoying touched the cover with her hand, and involuntarily comforted: "Don't be afraid, I won't let him snatch you." ”
As if he understood Xiaoying's words, the Book of the Dead gradually calmed down and returned to what it looked like.
After experiencing the rebound of the Book of the Dead, the old man did not dare to touch the Book of the Dead easily, but he was more curious about Xiaoying's identity because of this.
"Girl, it stands to reason that your strength can't make such a superb weapon recognize the owner, tell me to the old man, what is your identity."
"My name is Xiaoying, the wraith of the Necropolis, and this is who I am."
"Necropolis Shadow, Oni-kun's sister?" The old man raised an eyebrow, adding an identity to Xiaoying.
What he said was the truth, Xiaoying couldn't refute it, but the old man said more affirmatively: "You should still be the young master of the shadow here in the teahouse, the bride who was absent from the young man of Qianji three years ago." ”
"Wait, it's true that I'm the sister of the Ghost King, but I'm not a shadow master, please don't guess casually." Grasping the Book of the Dead, Xiaoying retorted urgently.
Although she has remembered some things before her death, she is now just a small shadow, the resentful spirit of the cemetery, the shadow young master who stands at the top of the rumors, even if it has something to do with her, it is still a matter of life, and it has nothing to do with her after death.
"The Book of the Dead is a dowry specially refined by the Young Master of a Thousand Machines for the Young Master of the Shadow, and no one can make it automatically recognize the Lord except the Young Master of the Shadow, girl, do you dare to say that what you are holding in your hand is not the Book of the Dead?"
"So what?" Xiaoying gritted her teeth and asked.
She didn't care if the Book of the Dead really only recognized the Young Master of Shadow as the master, she only knew that she had transformed into a spirit, and it was impossible to compare with the Young Master of Shadow when she was alive.
If it weren't for Qianji's visit to the cemetery every July to worship, if it weren't for the white-clothed Mo Xiao who showed up to save her before, if it weren't for the people who were good to her, loved her and cared for her, and were still obsessed with the memories of the past, she would only be Xiaoying, a resentful spirit with shallow mana in the cemetery.
"You don't seem to want to admit that you are the Young Master of Shadow, because you are afraid of the pursuit of the Zero Clan? Old man, I remember ......"
"Don't mention the Zero Clan to me, I'm afraid that no one will be afraid of the Zero Clan." The angry words blurted out directly without passing through the brain, and when the words fell, Xiaoying was obviously stunned.
She didn't remember when she had a deep grudge against the Zero, but it was really annoying that someone always mentioned the Zero in her ear, not to mention, she couldn't forget the muddy, the sword that the Zero patriarch stabbed.
"Okay, good, don't mention the Zero family, don't mention the zero family." Stretching out his hand, the old man made a gesture of surrender.
As a Bai Xiaosheng of the Netherworld, he naturally knew that Qianji Gongzi and the white-clothed Mo Xiao were coming to the Netherworld City today, and if they released it in the Phantom City City Lord's Mansion, he had also heard about it, if he offended Xiaoying now, let those two know that what they would have to endure would definitely be a catastrophe.
What's more, the information in his hand was enough for him to know that after being treated like that by the Zero Clan three years ago, it was normal for Xiaoying to be angry when he heard the name Zero Clan.
It's just that what the old man doesn't know is that the reason why Xiaoying scolded him and didn't let him mention the Zero Clan was really because he was tired of listening to it.
