The mountain spirits in Wang Lun's story are actually the people who "guard the parking lot" as Shakou said before. Legend has it that these people are criminals with a clear conscience, some are victims of unjust crimes, some want to atone for their sins, but normal society cannot accept them. As a result, these people with special skills can only come to the edge of the forest and start this kind of business of guarding supplies for those adventurers.

Because what they do is very similar to the mountain gods and elves, they have been nicknamed "mountain spirits" over time.

There have been criminals who have attacked these mountain spirits more than once, but whether it is negotiation or assault, the mountain spirits stick to their own bottom line and principles, and do not go along with them, so this area eventually became the only safe area for adventurers at the edge of the forest.

Of course, there is also a fee for the safe zone, as long as you give enough money, you can get the protection of the mountain spirits in this area.

After stepping out of the safe zone and entering the forest, Wei Chi turned to look in the direction he had previously and asked, "Those people are the so-called mountain spirits, right?" ”

Xiangsha was slightly stunned: "Where did you know this name?" ”

Fang Xunyi asked curiously on the side, "What mountain spirit?" ”

Wei Chiran told the story he heard from Wang Lun when he was a child.

After hearing this, Xiangsha looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't ask anything.

Fang Xunyi asked, "Where are we going now?" ”

Xiangsha took out a compass: "Go to the transit station in front, rest there for a while, replenish some supplies, and then move on." ”

Wei Chiran said: "Transfer station? Is it Hades? ”

Xiangsha looked at Wei Chiran with strange eyes: "You seem to know everything here?" That's what your adoptive father told you, too? ”

Wei Chiran said: "Yes, he told me a lot of stories about the primeval forest. ”

The Hades Market, which is a trade market in the primeval forest, is a place where legend has it that you can buy anything, as long as you can give the merchant what he wants, you can exchange it for what you need. So, there is a kind of barter similar to that of primitive society, where banknotes and hard currency are almost useless.

When Fang Xunyi heard the word "Underworld", he said: "The Underworld also exists in the Underworld, I heard from Xie Qingfei, the people gathered there are all merchants in the Underworld, and the things sold are also rare treasures. ”

Wei Chiran shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, when my adoptive father told me stories, he never mentioned strange things to me, and he also said that in fact, many so-called adventurers are very timid, and they enter this jungle just to go to the underworld, where they can exchange for some things that can't be bought on weekdays." ”

Fang Xunyi looked at Guan Hongru, who had been carrying his wife's corpse on his back and was in silence.

Guan Hongru knew that Fang Xunyi was asking himself, so he had to answer: "As far as I know, the underworld here is the same as the underworld in China, and there are also many shippers there, but these people no longer show their identities as before, and there are also many people of heterogeneity hidden in the Chinese city, after all, the world is different now." ”

Fang Xunyi was puzzled: "What's different?" ”

Guan Hongru said: "The new world has new rules and regulations, and there is also a new heterogeneous order. ”

The four of them walked along the mountain road for about an hour, and when they came to a pass, Xiangsha stopped and said, "There is the underworld ahead." ”

There is a mountain wall on the right side of the pass, and there are dozens of holes on the left side of the mountain wall, and a jar is placed in each hole, and there are some small objects placed next to the altar, and I don't know what it is used for.

Xiangsha pointed to the mountain wall and said, "This is the last warning before entering the underworld, do you see those holes?" The jar inside was filled with ashes, the ashes of those who tried to cause trouble in the underworld, and next to them were their belongings. ”

Wei Chi raised his eyes and looked: "How to define this troublemaker?" ”

Xiangsha explained: "Forced buying and selling, robbery and murder, shoddy, thousands of frauds, etc. are all troublemakers. ”

Wei Chi was curious: "Then who will carry it out?" ”

Xiangsha said: "Mountain spirit." Therefore, those who commit crimes here, who are familiar with the rules, will run deep into the mountains, so that they can escape the pursuit of the mountain spirits, but never think of coming back, once they come back, it is a dead end, and then they will be burned to ashes and placed in the hole in the mountain wall. ”

After Xiangsha finished speaking, he walked towards the pass, and after entering the pass, he could see a three-story cabin on the left, and at the door of the wooden house sat a sexy long-haired woman, the woman looked about thirty years old, wearing light makeup, wearing a suspender top, and a long white skirt that mopped the floor.

When the woman saw Xiangsha, a charming smile appeared on her originally expressionless face, and she immediately got up to meet her and said, "Brother Xiangsha, I haven't seen you for some days, do you miss me?" ”

Xiangsha was not taboo about the woman in front of him, and said to Wei Chiran and the others sideways: "This wooden house is called a murderous house in the underworld, the reason why it is called this is because there is a terrible hostess here, it is the one next to me, her name is Yujie, Yujie of Bingqing Yujie, no one knows what her surname is, she has been here for many years, and her business is to provide accommodation and food, and of course she also does emotional trading. ”

The woman called Yujie looked at Xiangsha and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Brother Xiangsha, don't make my secret public as soon as we meet, a few handsome guys, please inside." ”

When Yujie saw Guan Hongru, she was slightly stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Isn't this Mr. Guan?" I haven't seen you in years, and you're still running to save your wife? ”

Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi only knew when they heard this that Guan Hongru and Yujie knew each other, and Guan Hongru's affairs Yujie was also quite clear.

Guan Hongru just said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you." ”

Yujie just smiled, didn't say anything more, and then invited them into the house.

Xiangsha said: "Let's stay first, and I'll tell you some precautions after you go in." ”

Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi didn't know why they wanted to live here, but because they were not familiar with this place, they had to accept the arrangement. The reason why Wei Chiran put forward his request to become a team leader and decision-maker is not to control everything, but to make decisions at critical moments.

Right now, it's clearly not a critical moment.

The first floor of the wooden house is like a restaurant, with five tables, five positions in the east, west, south, south, and middle, and there is a bar on the side, where payment and ordering are carried out, and there seems to be no waiter, all thanks to the woman named Yujie.

After the four of them sat down at the table in the middle, Xiangsha didn't look at the menu, and said directly: "Let's have three special dishes, a water soup, no drinking, thank you." ”

Yujie just smiled and went into the back kitchen to get ready.

Seeing Yujie's figure disappear at the door of the back kitchen, Xiangsha lowered his voice and said, "This is a black shop that is not a black shop, so you two should be careful, she will only attack the two of you." ”

Wei Chi Ran wondered: "What do you mean?" ”

Fang Xunyi also felt strange: "Since it's a black shop, you still have to live in?" ”

Xiangsha explained: "This is a strange black shop, Yujie is deceiving you all, not just the material, she will not poison, she will not use force, she will only use what women are best at against you." ”

Wei Chiran smiled: "I'm a little curious. ”

Xiangsha smiled: "Curious, right? She just wants you to be curious, to put it simply, she is a woman who is very good at playing with feelings, her consistent means is to first show that she is a strong woman in front of men, and will let you deliberately see her weak side, create some opportunities, let you know her past story, in the process to create an atmosphere of sympathy between the two of you, and then come to a close place, let you fall madly in love with her, while she did not ask for anything, you voluntarily gave everything for her, in order to stay with her for life. ”

Fang Xunyi asked, "And then?" ”

Xiangsha said: "Then, she will grasp some problems that you can never solve, making you feel that you are powerless, and in the end you can only leave here, and forget her ruthlessly, obviously it is a game set by her, but it will make you feel regretful for the rest of your life." I don't think any of the poisonous insects and beasts in the forest are as vicious as this woman. ”

Wei Chiran nodded silently, but Fang Xunyi asked, "What is her purpose in doing this?" Will there be hardships? ”

Xiangsha smiled: "You see, you have begun to fall into the trap, she just wants you to think so, and then throw a story at you at the right time, hold you firmly, remember, the poor must have something to hate." ”

After saying that, Yujie also served the dishes to the table, but in the eyes of Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi, the three dishes and one soup were simply disgusting, because the dishes seemed to be made of insects, and the so-called soup was completely clear water.

Yujie stood at the table and introduced, "This is green pepper beef." ”

Green pepper beef? This is obviously a fried green worm with leaves, right? And why is this green worm so big? Bigger than a person's index finger?

Yujie pointed to the second dish: "This is usually ordered, tomato scrambled eggs." ”

Big sister, where are the tomatoes dark green? And this egg is the egg of some kind of bug, right?

Yujie then introduced the third dish: "This is a vegetarian dish, I renamed it again, called Shui Nianhua." ”

Wei Chiran looked at the so-called vegetarian dish, which was steamed from sections of blood-red plant stalks placed together, and there was a liquid like blood, which looked very disgusting.

Fang Xunyi looked at the soup: "Is this soup or water?" ”

Without waiting for Yujie to answer, Xiangsha said: "Yes, Boss Yu has worked hard for you, this is the vegetable money, please take our luggage, thank you." ”

Yu Jie took the money, easily took the Xiangshan bag and the backpack away, and also grabbed the backpacks of Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi, and went upstairs easily.

Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi looked at Yujie's back, very surprised, this innate divine power?

Xiangsha smiled: "She seems to have given up on attacking you, so she didn't make herself pitiful, let's eat." ”

Wei Chiran took the chopsticks and said, "Can you eat these?" ”

Xiangsha took a bite of the dish: "Don't look at these dishes are disgusting, but many people come here just to eat the dishes made by Yujie, do you know how much this meal costs?" ”

The lieutenant shook his head hesitantly.

Xiangsha raised a finger: "One thousand dollars, cash, no credit." ”
