Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 143: Dogs Covered with Wolf Skins
It's only two days before the so-called "show" begins, and time always flies quickly. They didn't walk around like they had when they stayed in other places, after all, this place was not big enough, and the land of the trapped demons took up a small half. Moreover, Tanghuan County can't talk about any customs and customsβthey have already learned it when they first came. Therefore, a few people are just nesting in the inn in a daze.
They came late, and all the places they could live near the walls were occupied. It's farther away, and even though it's two floors, you can't see inside the high walls. But it doesn't matter, they're going to be in soon.
Zhou Cai did not stay at the inn with them, but he came to see them every night and talked casually. He probably went to find out the news, and occasionally deliberately said some local information. At first, Dai Luan also coaxed, saying that why didn't he share a room with Shanhai, his guest room was very empty. Shan Hai said faintly, no matter how bold he was, he would not dare to be alone in the same room with the fox spirit who had practiced for four hundred years. Zhou said that he had his own place to rest, and he didn't have to bother with them. It seems that the last time he stayed in the hotel, it was just for revenge.
Now is the time to repay the favor - to repay the kindness of Liang Yuejun.
They won't be able to stay in bed tomorrow because they're going to get a good seat the next day. They didn't really have any interest in those bloody fights, anyway, as long as they could get in, let the boat find someone. However, he said that "the money has been spent, so naturally they have to return to their roots" before encouraging them to get up early in the morning.
"I've heard that since the opening of this dog farm, the first human to challenge the owner of the dog farm is actually not a human."
It was obviously a big night, and when they were about to go to bed, Zhouzhou leaned on them and poured a cup of tea.
"Is it a youkai change?" Dai Luan asked curiously.
"It's a six-way impermanence."
"Huh?"
Mu Wan had just finished washing his face, picked up the basin and was about to pour water, when he heard this, he suddenly sat back.
"Do you know who Impermanence is?"
"Of course, I don't know." Zhou Cai shrugged his shoulders, "But although the six realms of impermanence are immortal and immortal, and they can compete with powerful monsters head-on, I'm afraid there are only two of them." β
"Rotten ......" Dai Luan only said one word and shut up knowingly. But Zhou Vessel shook his head and said no.
"It's not human, but it's not a monster either. Strictly speaking, other impermanence ghosts are still in the realm of human beings. The only 'people' who can be put on the table by force alone are Frost Moon Jun and Shen Wu Jun. Gu Jia Qianlong Shuangyue Jun, his martial arts during his lifetime, as an assassin in the rivers and lakes, everyone knows it, but he lives a nourishing life, which makes people helpless. His Shura Demon Knife seals the Demon Blade, possesses the demonic energy, and can take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies. Yin and Yang go to the stream, and the gods have no king, and four or five hundred years ago, even the eight gods could kill strange people. I was also a newborn at the time, and I grew up listening to stories like that. His pair of scimitars Yin Yang Moon were hit by Shui Wujun, and the beings who were slashed by that knife could even destroy their souls. β
ββ¦β¦ Wow. Then, can that knife kill the six realms of impermanence? β
Zhou Cai frowned and looked at Dai Luan with a complicated expression.
"What's going on in your little brain all day?"
"Feel free to ask ......"
The mountains and seas simply blew him away.
He was the one who urged them to go to bed early, and it was he who kept them from resting. What a freewheeling old fox.
The next day, they got up early as promised, naturally they didn't see the shadow of the boat, and they probably had already gone to the scene. They hurried to pack their things and hurried over. Even so, when they came to the gate of the stone wall, the crowd was still Wuyang. After waiting in line for a long time, they finally arrived, and Dai Luan took a special look at the people checking the tickets, there were two, but neither of them was the sloppy uncle.
But she didn't look for longβthe Uncle Stubble was in the field, lazily maintaining order.
It is really as the description of the boat vessel and the speculation of the mountains and seas, there is nothing wrong with it, and no one can see any clues. Shanhai said that although he didn't know what method the people here used to hide the magic artifacts they had arranged, he could clearly perceive that there was an indescribable field force here. The pattern here is also very exquisite, and even the gazebo for rest is hidden in mysteries, and everything strictly follows the principle of the five elements and gossip.
Naturally, this restriction was lifted when it arrived at the venue. There are two walls, one is the outermost and very high; On one side is the place in the center that is really reserved for the monsters to tear and beat, and the place where they should be detained.
Although Dai Luan couldn't see or know where they were, she could always hear a faint mournful sound. It was still daytime, but she shuddered. She grabbed the corner of Mu Wan's clothes, not daring to leave them half a step.
Inside, the wall is a column, capped by a ceiling. The walls don't look high, but the inside has sunk a lot, and the combined height is comparable to the outer layer. They found a seat slightly forward and sat down. At this time, Rin Shanhai said again that under the entire arena, there was actually groundwater.
"How do you know?"
"The humidity was heavy. I had seen all the gold, wood, fire, and earth outside, but there was no water, and I expected to be in this place. What's more, you see, the people here are full of voices, and the yang energy is extremely heavy, and it is bound to need yin water to neutralize it, so as not too many spectators will affect the performance of the fighting beasts. It is only in the center of this depression that their power can be fully realized. If you look closely at the outside, there are a lot of colored threads, which are all mixed with special things. β
It is as sophisticated as a prison for prisoners, so sophisticated that even humans are afraid.
Of course, only for them. The rabble, who were shouting before the opening, naturally didn't know anything about it. Looking at the faces and dress, there are locals and outsiders; There are people who do not cover their bodies, and there are also people who are high-ranking officials. There is no special expensive away from home here, and it is not lively.
"Humans are really noisy."
At some point, the boat appeared behind them, a little taller. Mu Wan asked him, did you find that person?
"Not yet, I can't even determine who it is. But we'll wait here, and the man will always show up. β
"Are you so sure?"
"I'm sure."
"I hope so," Mu Wan whispered...... "I just want to get out of this place as soon as possible." β
"I don't like it here...... "There's too many people, it's too noisy, but it looks very lively, and for some reason it's so cold." β
"Do you feel cold?"
The boat directly behind Dai Luan patted her on the shoulder, and she suddenly felt cold. So she stretched out her hand, grabbed a handful on the shoulders that the boat had just touched, and felt a layer of very light and soft tulle. It has no color, and it doesn't feel heavy. Ah Luan was very surprised and hurriedly asked what it was.
"You feel cold because your constitution is too yin. The people around you don't think that if you are cold alone, you must be affected by demonic energy. This yarn is sewn with the wings of the cicada, which can separate the breath of people from the outside world. β
"Oh...... That's it. β
"But......" Shanhai was a little skeptical, "I remember that it is also an extremely yin thing, why can it be so effective?" β
Zhou Ware smiled.
"When you chop wood in the cold winter and wash your hands with cold water when you come home, don't you also think that the water is warm? Relatively speaking. There was something bad about the child's life, more than she could bear. But apart from these demonic and yin qi, the chill of its own itself is nothing. β
Rin Shanhai was thoughtful and stopped talking.
It is said that when tickets were sold here, they would tell you what kind of monster they were fighting, so that you could bet, and when you didn't say it, everyone knew that someone was coming to "stir up trouble", and that kind of ticket was called "empty ticket". As a result, the tickets were snatched up, and various versions would be circulated in the streets and alleys, and everyone was guessing where they came from and what kind of people they were happy to have. But there have been too many "empty tickets" in the past two years, most of them are gimmicks, and when I entered the venue, I realized that no strong man stood up. They still brought two random youkai and asked you to bet when they got there. People who don't know how to do it don't know enough about the Shikigami and Yokai of the East and West families, and there is no such atmosphere of arguing loudly or discussing in a low voice. Over time, this behavior is not very interesting to people. This is also the main reason why Tanghuan County is still empty and 200 - it will not do business.
"If you have a Shikijin that you don't need, you can sell it to them, and you can sell it for a good price." Zhou Cai said the news he had inquired about in the past few days. Mu Wan frowned and scoffed at this.
"I don't know how many unconscionable masters would do such things."
"It's all money, girl." Zhou Cai replied to her, "People can even sell their wives and children for money, let alone Shikami." The only difference is that the price of the yokai is higher. They also collect some yokai caught from the wilderness at a high price...... Ah, here we go. β
The crowd was a little more noisy, and without stretching out their fingers, the three of them turned their heads in unison to look at the field below. The people on the edge were still babbling about something, but the sound was not loud, and it was drowned out by the noise of the crowd. Perhaps most of the guests here already know what they say. Then, the stands at the very edge of the two sides pulled up the iron doors like knives from the guillotine, and there was a piercing grinding sound.
Two metal railing doors were lifted, and the low, beastly roar became clear, and the people shut up, staring at the field with a little anticipation, and their glasses did not blink.
After the two came out, the stands were full of noisy sighs.
ββ¦β¦ I think it's just an ordinary animal. Mu Wan frowned and looked at it for a long time.
"I think ...... too It's just that the orangutan is a little bigger, and the boar's teeth are a little longer. Although the fangs are a little chic, they are too curly and should not be suitable for fighting. Dai Luan also said.
"I don't feel any demonic energy from them." Shanhai looked back at the boat slightly, "I feel that I just caught the fierce beasts in the mountains, and collected money under the banner of fighting demons." β
Zhou Ware shook his head.
