Chapter 60: The Town of Furong
Lin Xi put on makeup, changed their faces and turned into a group of travelers to the town under the mountain, after a night of running, they also wanted to find a place to rest, but they were all surprised when they entered the town, why? Because the whole town is empty, and it's daytime! Hell alive.
A few people searched along the street, the storefronts and buildings on both sides of the street were neat and clean, many shops were still open as usual, and the pots in some snack bars were still steaming, but there was no one in sight.
Lin Xi and the others walked into a few shops, shouting loudly, but no one came out to say hello, pushed the door into a few houses, and it was the same, the house was clean, not like no one lived, but there was no one.
Everyone was a little hairy, if it was at night, it would be easier to understand, but now that the sun is shining and they have come to a town where there is no human figure, even if Lin Xi is bold, they can't help but feel worried.
"Big brother, you are familiar with the west, what kind of place is this?" Xiao Wu is a girl, and she asked Bao Cheng a little scared.
"Did we come to Hibiscus?" Bao Cheng said softly.
"Hibiscus Town? What is this place? Big brother said come and listen! Lin Xi wasn't afraid, just curious.
"This is a legend, I don't know how many years it has been passed on, it is said that there is a Furong town in Kunlun Mountain, sometimes disappearing, sometimes appearing, it is a ghost town, and everyone who touches Furong Town finally disappears!" Bao Cheng said.
"Cut! Let's tell a story! It's all missing, who knows about Furong Town? Xiao Wu said nonchalantly.
"Naturally, there are fish that have slipped through the net, it is said that two people have escaped in the past thousand years, these two people spread the news of Furong Town as soon as they told it, everyone has been looking for this town for nearly a thousand years, and the result is the same, the living people have not been found, but many people have disappeared, and they have not come back, and then no one dares to find it, and then no one dares to find it, this town has also become a legend in our west, saying that Furong Town is a ghost, a place where the Lord of Yama stays, don't want to come back when you go in!" Bao Cheng said.
"Huh! Big brother, don't be scary, it scares the little sister's heart fluttering! Xiao Wu's face changed, and she clutched her chest and said.
"I didn't scare you, it is said that this ghost town will not stay in one place, it will automatically relocate, and there are many different places in thousands of years of records that this town has appeared!" Bao Cheng said.
"Big brother is right, Master said that our world is composed of two worlds, yin and yang, the two worlds overlap with each other, but not fusion, there will be some nodes where this kind of yin and yang are shared, the people in this town are in the netherworld, but our yang realm can see their situation, it's like our computer programming, there are loopholes!" Lin Xi explained.
"Oh! It's better for Xiao Lin Xi to say this, like the eldest brother said, it's scary to death! Xiao Wu said with a smile.
"And how do we get out of this town?" Wuxin asked.
"Wait!" Lin Xi said.
"What are you waiting for?" Xiao Wu asked.
"When the yin and yang alternate, when the two worlds really coincide completely, we can leave here and return to the yang world, the two people who went out before did not go out, but they happened to meet that hour, and the place where they were located happened to be the critical point, so they went back, and the rest of the people who came here didn't understand, but they couldn't go back to the netherworld, they didn't know if they were dead or not, but the relatives in the yang world could only treat them as dead!" Lin Xi said.
"Oh! So what do we do now? Xiao Wu asked.
"What to do? Find a restaurant, sit down and drink and eat meat, etc.! Lin Xi walked forward with a smile.
Came to a restaurant in front, a few people brought out a table, four chairs, found a shady place to sit down, Xiao Wu went to get water to make tea, and unintentionally took out the leftover leg of lamb roasted a few days ago, opened a few bottles of wine, and the life of several people was quite happy, Lin Xi looked at time and shadows, for fear of missing the only hour.
At this moment, there was a sound on the avenue in front, everyone looked up, and was shocked, a group of big men dressed in clothes of unknown dynasties were lined up on both sides, in the middle of a tall eight-carrying sedan chair, eight shirtless men carried a sedan chair, the sedan chair was very tall and heavy, but eight people walked lightly, walking like flying, there was a young man sitting in the middle of the sedan chair, with his head tied in a bun, his face was like a crown of jade, his forehead was born with double horns, he was wearing a robe, and he was wearing ancient boots, and his expression was melodious.
Lin Xi looked at the scene in front of him as if he had seen a ghost, as if he was acting in a TV series, only to see that group of people came to Lin Xi and them in an instant.
"Lin Gongzi, so leisurely! I've traveled thousands of miles just to see you, won't you invite me to a drink? The young man said with a smile on the sedan chair.
"Excuse me, are you..."Lin Xi asked him.
"Huh! In Xia Long Si, I am the fourth in the Dragon Palace, so they all call me Long Si Gongzi! Long Si arched his hand and said.
"Oh... The fourth son of the dragon, who has admired the name for a long time, please come down and have a drink! Lin Xi also arched his hand and said.
It turned out that this person was the person in the Dragon Palace that Chen Lao said, usually the characters in the Dragon Palace are all Shenlong who see the head but not the end, few people are qualified to see them, and they don't bother to deal with the laity, this time I came to see Lin Xi in person, I don't know what happened?
I saw a few big men laying out the red carpet in front of the car, and carrying a dragon chair covered with white tiger skin and placing it in front of Lin Xi's table, Long Si got off the sedan chair slowly and sat down in front of Lin Xi.
"Fourth Prince Long, please come here in person, I don't know what happened? Let's just say it! Lin Xi said straight to the point.
"Oh! It's not a big deal, it's a small thing for you! I'm sure you've heard of the origin of our Dragon Palace! Long Si stared at Lin Xi and said.
"Of course, when the country is in trouble, you close the mountains and retreat, but when the world is peaceful, you make the wind and rain, is this the principle of the Dragon Palace?" Lin Xi also stared at Long Si and said.
"Huh! They all said that you are an angry young man, I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it, things in the world are not only black and white, and all people can't just distinguish between good and bad, and there is a lot of knowledge in this! Long Si said with a smile.
"Of course, it's only two words for you, right?" Lin Xi said.
"If you say that, it means that you are mature, all living beings in the world are like ants in my eyes, all I care about is my interests, the interests of the Dragon Palace, there is nothing unspeakable! Haha..."Ryusi said with a smile.
"Then what was the purpose of your Dragon Palace? I don't need to say it! Lin Xi asked rhetorically.
"Huh! You are wrong, our Dragon Palace is just the spokesperson of the Immortal Clan in this world, not just for the Hua Clan, the Hua Clan is just a branch of us, our duty is to maintain the balance of this world, and everything you are doing now will just break this balance, so we will find you! Long Si said lightly.
"But what you are doing now will plunge countless Chinese people into endless calamities, only a hundred years, haven't you seen that catastrophe a hundred years ago? Why disrupt the peaceful life that the Chinese have so hard won? Lin Xi stood up angrily.
"Then you can only blame the people of the Chinese tribe for being too diligent, this is a strange race, it has only been a few decades, but the population is so huge, if they are allowed to have first-class scientific and technological power, the world will be out of balance, one family is dominant, how do you tell us to control this world?" Long Si asked Lin Xi.
"Huh! Back then, Taizu was also a member of your Dragon Palace, and this foundation was laid by him with his life, don't you miss the old feelings? Lin Xi scolded Long Si.
"Taizu? Hehe... He's just a traitor driven out of the Dragon Palace, I'm not afraid to tell you, he is my eldest brother, just because of these ants, he can actually endure the peeling of Lin Xing and become a mortal, but I also admire his intelligence, he can create such a foundation after becoming a mortal, and it is not in vain that he is the heir of my Dragon Palace! Ryusi fell into a trance.
"Then I don't think the fourth prince of Long will just talk to me when he comes to me, right?" Lin Xi asked.
"Of course not, before I came, the Dragon Palace was divided into two factions, one faction was determined to send people to kill you all, and I was the other faction, the Dragon Palace has not had new talents to join for many years, I think you are good, so I hope you can accept my recruitment, and when you enter the Dragon Palace and cultivate Dacheng, you will also understand our way of doing things!" Long Si looked at Lin Xi and said.
"I'm sorry, whether I enter the Dragon Palace or not, I won't accept your style!" Lin Xi categorically rejected Long Si.
"Huh! You should know what this world was built for? Why should you have pity on these worldly people, whose original fate is death? What's so bad about joining us and being able to return to the land of the Immortals one day? Ryusi said.
"I'm sorry, in my eyes, all living beings are life, they have the right to live happily, and I am one of them, so I must do my best to fight for them!" Lin Xi said calmly.
"Stubborn, as stubborn as my stubborn big brother, remember, this world does not live by ideals, it depends on strength, since you are not willing to change, I am not reluctant, I never fight with people with unequal strength, this Furong Town is your grave! Have the strength to go out and talk to me about your ideals! Long Si was a little annoyed, got up and got into the sedan chair, several big men quickly put away the chairs and red carpet, and the group walked away.
"What should I do?" Xiao Wu asked Lin Xi on the side.
"Don't worry, I know they want to trap us in this Hibiscus town, but I won't let them succeed!" Lin Xi comforted Xiao Wu and said.
"It seems that they will guard the place where yin and yang divide to death, as long as the hour passes, we can't get out, they will succeed!" Bao Cheng said.
"Hmmm! Let's make some preparations first, so as not to be caught off guard when the big battle comes! After Lin Xi finished speaking, he bowed his head and explained to Xiao Wu, and everyone hurriedly prepared to go, seeing that the sun was sinking in the west, and the sky was gradually getting dark!
