Chapter 2068: The Rules of the Dark World
The black-clothed young man's name is Makukawa, the king of the Seven Tribulations of Immortality.
The king who rests in the ancient wasteland and sets foot on the path of immortality is already a man of the hour and can dominate one side.
It's just that in this nightmare city, Makukawa is obviously a "small role", otherwise it would be impossible to run out of the city to solicit business.
Outside the dilapidated city gate, there were two guards, their eyes and expressions undisguised fierce.
"Yo, there's another sale?"
One of the guards seemed to be familiar with Makukawa, smiling and teasing.
The other guard looked at Lin Xun and said in a stiff tone, "Three thousand Dao Crystals." ”
Makukawa explained in a low voice on the side: "Fellow Daoist, this is the fee that newcomers have to pay for the first time they enter the city, so that they can receive an identity nameplate, and they can enter and exit the city at will in the future." ”
Lin Xun sighed and threw out a storage bag casually.
At this moment, Makukawa and the two guards were stunned, as if they didn't expect that Lin Xun would come up with such a huge sum of money so happily.
"Questions?" Lin said.
Makukawa smiled, "No problem. ”
"Take it. A guard handed Lin Xun a bronze nameplate.
The nameplate is engraved with a crocodile totem, which is very easy to identify.
But in Lin Xun's eyes, this nameplate is simply vulgar, and he can refine it at will.
However, Lin Xun didn't say much, when he first arrived, he wouldn't make a big move because of the three thousand Dao Crystals.
"Fellow Daoist, please. ”
Makukawa led Lin Xun towards the city.
One of the guards stroked his chin and said, "This guy seems to have caught a big fat sheep......
Another person said in a deep voice: "There is no ordinary character who can reach the dark world, we are just a role guarding the city gate, it is better not to worry about other things, and live...... It's not easy. ”
The city is also dilapidated, with weeds growing on the ruins of some collapsed buildings, pedestrians on the streets, and signs of restaurants and tea shops everywhere, no different from the outside world.
Along the way, Makukawa quickly said: "The current city lord of the Great Nightmare City is a 'crocodile man', this is a ruthless man, with a pinnacle of Great Saint Realm cultivation, and he can be regarded as the number one person in the cold airspace. ”
Lin Xun listened silently and didn't pay much attention to it.
Not to mention the pinnacle sage, even the pinnacle saint king, the pinnacle quasi-emperor, they can't enter Lin Xun's eyes.
Seeing that Lin Xun was not interested, Makukawa rolled his eyes and said, "Fellow Daoist, can you take the liberty of asking, what are you coming to Nightmare City for?"
Lin Xun said casually: "Wait for someone." ”
Makukawa was stunned, he didn't ask any more questions, but said, "If you live in the city, you need to pay a thousand crystals to the city lord's mansion every day. ”
"Of course, Daoist friends can also choose to serve the City Lord's Mansion, such as acting as a guard under the City Lord's Mansion, or digging ore veins and collecting spiritual materials...... In short, as long as you help the City Lord's Mansion, you can always live in the city. ”
Lin Xun was surprised: "If you want to live in the city, there is still so much exquisiteness?"
Makukawa sighed: "Only by living in the city can you get the protection of the city lord's mansion, you don't have to worry about any accidents, if you are outside the city and someone kills, no one will collect the body for you." ”
Lin Xun suddenly understood, in the final analysis, it was still for survival.
"Not only in Nightmare City, but also in other cities in this cold skyspace, if you want to survive, you must pay the corresponding price. ”
Makukawa said, "This is the law of survival in the dark world. ”
As they spoke, there was a sudden scream in the street ahead, followed by a burst of laughter.
Lin Xun's brows furrowed.
In an instant, his mind could see clearly that on the street ahead, a man in a gorgeous robe was whipping a woman with a soft silver whip.
The woman was untouched, her hair was scattered, she curled up on the ground and screamed, and her originally fair and graceful body was full of bloody whip marks.
The man in the Chinese robe had a violent and ferocious look in his eyes, and when the whip waved, the divine light flowed, fierce and fierce, and while whipping the woman, he said coldly: "Slut, you never obey?"
"Come on, it's a great blessing to be able to become the concubine of the young city lord. ”
"That's it. ”
There were also many onlookers nearby, who followed the coaxing, and there was only excitement, banter, cruelty and indifference in their expressions, without any trace of pity.
The woman was dying and covered in blood.
Makukawa looked strange and said: "Fellow Daoist, look, that's the young city lord, the adopted son of the crocodile Taoist, named Dong Jinrong, with a romantic temperament, but he has a very bad temper. ”
Lin Xun's dark eyes were dark and he didn't speak.
Makukawa reminded: "Fellow Daoist, you are new to the city, but remember, don't meddle in your affairs, that woman looks pitiful, but you must remember that this is a dark world." ”
"Come on, arrest this slut back and lock her up, sooner or later I will train her to be obedient and subordinate to my crotch!"
The young city lord Dong Jinrong gave the order.
Immediately, several guards rushed out and lifted the wounded woman away.
It was also at this time that Lin Xun, who had been silent, asked: "Doesn't it mean that everyone who enters the city will be protected by the City Lord's Mansion, like this...... Doesn't anyone care?"
Makukawa looked strange: "Daoyou, that is the young city lord, and the rules in the city are not up to him." ”
Lin Xun suddenly remembered the words of the sturdy middle-aged man in Wuyinzhai:
"The biggest rule in the dark world is that there are no rules!"
"Whoever is strong enough, whose words are the rules!"
Not long after, Makukawa took Lin Xun to a dilapidated temple in the city, and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have just arrived, and it is getting late today, so you can rest here for the time being, and I will take you to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow to register." ”
"Registration?" Lin said.
"Yes, living in the city, not only do you need to pay a thousand Dao Crystals to the City Lord's Mansion every day, but you also have to pay a fee for renting a house, of course, I suggest that you better work for the City Lord's Mansion, so that you can save a lot of expenses. ”
Makukawa said, and took Lin Xun into the temple.
In the temple, old and dilapidated, dusty and dusty, a bonfire burns to dispel the gloom.
A group of figures sat or stood, men and women, old and young, each with a fierce and bloody aura on their bodies.
When Makukawa walked in with Lin Xun, he was immediately stared at one after another.
A thin old man said hoarsely: "Makukawa, at the end of the day, you only brought back one person?"
There was a hint of displeasure in his voice.
Makukawa's face suddenly turned pale, and he muttered: "Uncle Huai, you also know that in recent times, there have been fewer and fewer newcomers to Nightmare City, and business is very difficult. ”
The thin old man called Huai Bo snorted coldly, stared at Lin Xun, revealing a trace of eccentricity, and said, "Makukawa, what kind of ecstasy did you and this friend do, and they fell for you so obediently?"
The rest of the hall also laughed, and their eyes looking at Lin Xun were full of playfulness.
Lin Xun's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't realize it, he looked at Makukawa, who had walked away from him since he entered the main hall, and said, "What's going on?"
Someone couldn't help laughing: "Haha, this guy hasn't reacted yet, shouldn't he ...... It's the first time you've come to the dark world?"
The others laughed as well.
Lin Xun still didn't pay attention to it, just looked at Makukawa, who was uncomfortable for a while, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said, "Idiot! You still ask what's going on, this is the dark world! What fool would trust others as easily as you?"
Lin Xun said: "You are very unintelligent. ”
Makukawa sneered, dismissive.
The thin old man said: "Young man, when you first arrived, the old man came to teach you how to survive in this dark world. ”
He paused and said, "First, hand over all the treasures on your body, which is called worship, and second, prove your worth, useless waste has only one result, death." That's the rule. ”
A bewitching woman smiled coquettishly: "Little brother, now it's up to you to perform." ”
Everyone else stared at Lin Xun, and their fierce light flickered.
The atmosphere also tensed.
"So that's the rule......"
Lin Xun sighed lightly.
The voice was flat, but that word was like a thunderbolt on the avenue, slamming into the hearts of the thin old man and others, and suddenly his eyes turned black, blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and he lay down one by one.
At this moment, they all looked shocked and incredulous.
didn't make a move, and with just one sentence, they were completely suppressed, what kind of terrifying cultivation could this be?
Makukawa was the only one who wasn't hurt, but when he saw this scene, the whole person was stunned.
How could he have imagined that a newcomer who was casually deceived outside the city was actually a hidden terrifying existence!
"Seniors spare their lives!"
Poof, Makukawa knelt down directly, and while slapping his cheeks fiercely, he begged, "The little one has eyes without beads, and the lard is blindfolded, and I hope you will be magnanimous and spare the life of a small dog!"
Lin Xun looked at him indifferently, unhappy or sad, and said, "I said, you are very unintelligent. ”
Bang!
Makukawa's body trembled, and then he lay silently on the ground, his soul shattered.
Looking at Huai Bo and the others, they thought they had caught a fat sheep before, and they had nothing to fear, but now they are scared one by one.
Lin Xun came to the bonfire, sat down casually, took out a green skin wine gourd, and said while drinking:
"I want to know something, and if you cooperate obediently, I will spare your life. ”
Huai Bo and the others nodded again and again, each more obedient and honest than the other, and their eyes were full of desire to survive.
In the future, they did not disappoint Lin Xun, no matter what Lin Xun asked, they would be the first to answer.
Of course, the questions Lin Xun asked were all related to the dark world, not any secrets and problems.
"Well, you're doing well. ”
When he finished asking the last question, Lin Xun couldn't help but nodded.
Huai Bo and the others were all in good spirits, and someone couldn't help but ask: "Senior, what ...... Can I leave already?"
"Okay, I'll take you on your way. ”
As soon as Lin Xun said this, Huai Bo and the others felt a chill in their hearts, and their faces changed completely.
