Chapter 101: Entering the Ghost Realm for the First Time
Early the next morning, Jing Sichen found that his father was gone again, and even the wisp of his mother's soul that he left behind had disappeared with him.
He searched around and found nothing, so in desperation, he decided to go to the ghost world to have a look. The person who snatched his mother's soul in the first place was undoubtedly in the ghost world, so if he wanted to kill his mother, he had to go to the ghost world to retrieve his soul.
It's not difficult to go back to the ghost world to tell him, after all, he has the inheritance and mark of the ghost king family.
But he couldn't answer there if he wanted to go back like his father. Jing Sichen closed his eyes and recited the Fa Decision, only to feel that his eyes flickered, and he appeared in a completely unfamiliar place.
It is surrounded by mountains and green trees. But the only strange thing is that there is no sun here, and the sky is cloudy and gloomy, as if it will collapse at any moment.
A bright moon in the sky only makes the surrounding environment slightly visible. If you have poor eyesight here, it is estimated that it will be difficult not to fall down the mountain with one foot in the air.
Jing Sichen walked in the mountains for a while, but he didn't see a single figure. He wasn't familiar with it either, and he suddenly felt dizzy and didn't know which direction to take.
Fortunately, in the ghost world, he could easily take off and whizz through the air, much faster than walking. It took a day of flying around before I finally got out of the mountains.
There is a small town not far from the bottom of the mountain, but it is also brightly lit. It's just that the fog here is too heavy to be found up close, and Meditation Chen only slowly landed outside the town.
Although he was in the ghost world, he was already exhausted and thirsty and hungry when he flew around this day.
It was tossed and turned into the evening, but there were still a lot of people coming and going in this town. So he wasn't conspicuous at all in the crowd, and the people here looked the same as the people outside, but they weren't very friendly.
Almost no one looks at others more, everyone bows their heads and does their own thing, and even the communication between each other is very rare.
Jing Sichen was also afraid that he would find out that he was half-human and half-ghost if he did something wrong, so he walked down the street with his head down and mixed in the crowd, thinking about finding a place to live and have a meal.
After a short walk, you will reach Cross Street, but here it is a different scene.
Although the pedestrians here are expressionless, the roads are lined with large and small hotels, grocery stores, green houses and gambling houses. It's exactly the same as the old main street you see on TV, and it's very lively.
And almost every shop has a person standing at the door to beckon pedestrians to enter, although the action is a bit old-fashioned, but it is much better than the pedestrians on the street.
Jing Sichen turned around and found that there was only one restaurant with three floors, and it was also the largest one called "Frost House". Although the name is strange, there are people coming and going, and Jing Sichen walked in.
"Guest officer, please." The man at the door beckoned him in, and immediately a young man greeted him. While asking, he led him to an empty seat and sat down before he asked slowly: "Guest officer, are you eating or staying in a hotel?" ”
Jing Sichen looked around and said, "Both." ”
"Okay, let's see what to eat first. I'll arrange a room for you. The little two said happily and left, and then another one came over.
"If you want something to eat, you can tell me." The changed person was even more respectful to him, and it seemed that he was not as high as the person just now.
"What do you have to eat here?"
Jing Sichen didn't know the situation here, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"The most ordered by our guests here are beef and venison." Xiao Er smiled and said and secretly looked at this meditation.
He could tell at a glance that this was an outsider, so he was introduced to the most expensive thing here. But he doesn't care where he's from, after all, there are more people coming and going here.
He's seen even stranger people, so there's no need to make a fuss. And judging from his experience, the more such guests are, the easier it is to serve and the easier it is to deceive.
Jing Sichen nodded without saying a word, and looked around. The little second saw that he really didn't suspect him, so he said again: "Why don't you give you something different?" ”
Jing Sichen looked at him and beckoned, and Xiao Er bent down very interestingly to come over.
Jing Sichen asked softly, "What kind of money are you using here?" ”
Actually, that's what he's most worried about, he's not familiar with this place at all, so he can't just cause trouble. Although it was not difficult for him to leave even if he ate white food, he was not sure how he would get to the next place after leaving here.
After all, he was not familiar with the map here, and although he was young, he had long understood the importance of money after so many years in business. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, not to mention that he is now in the ghost world.
The little two were stunned for a moment, and looked at Jing Sichen suspiciously. Jing Sichen also stared at him and stretched out his hand, he thought that if he really couldn't do it, he would eat a white meal first.
But the little second stared at his wrist and froze, and Jing Sichen also felt strange and raised his hand to take a look. In his hand, he has a string of night pearl bracelets that his mother brought back from abroad when she was a child, all of which are small beads the size of beans, a total of one hundred and eight.
Jing Sichen immediately smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's hard to give me a copy of what you say." ”
The little second child was stunned, and hurriedly agreed. As soon as he left, the other one came over again, and the two of them looked at each other and understood.
This person came over to be more respectful and flattering to Jing Sichen, and Jing Sichen secretly removed one of the beads and put them on the table. The man's eyes straightened at once, and it was dim everywhere, and although there were many candles lit in the shop, they could not stop the light from the small pearl of the night.
"Your room has been arranged for you, you have dinner and greet me, and I will take you there." The little two were talking, but their eyes were always glued to the beads on the table.
"You take this bead first, and help me do a little thing. As for the money for food and lodging, I will pay separately. Jing Sichen leaned on the chair and looked at Xiao Er, with a swaggering demeanor.
The little second immediately took the beads happily, but he was a little nervous, thinking that giving him such a valuable thing would either be a local tyrant or a difficult thing to do.
He was apprehensive but eager to make money, and he knew that there were many people who were willing to do it if he didn't do it. He asked, "What do you command?" ”
"You go buy me some of the clothes they wear, and then get me some change." Jing Sichen pointed to a few people sitting not far away and said.
After all, the clothes he was wearing now were still very different from the clothes worn by the people here, and he didn't want to expose himself too early. After all, his father is not the opponent of the Ghost King, let alone himself.
The little second nodded and went out happily. After a while, the meal was served, but Jing Sichen was a little stupid. Medium-rare beef and raw venison, he only looked at it hard, except for a few bites of beef.
Although he often saw his father sneaking out to eat medium-rare beef, he just watched. However, after Jing Sichen took a few bites, he felt that the taste was really good.
Perhaps because he had broken the seal, he ate the beef but had a craving for the bloody venison on his plate. The craving was not for flesh but for blood, and the thirst for blood led him to eat all the plate of raw venison.
And after eating, he actually had an urge to lick the plate. In the end, I had to ask for a cup of deer blood, and Xiao Er, who was drinking and shopping, came back.
"Guest, here's the clothes and silver you want." Xiao Er smiled and put the clothes on the table, took out a purse from his arms, handed it to Jing Sichen and said, "I exchanged a hundred taels of silver for your night pearl, and there are sixty taels left to buy clothes, all of which are here." ”
Xiao Er looked at Jing Sichen with a flattering smile, but he was beating a drum in his heart.
Jing Sichen glanced at him, took out another ten taels of silver, gave him and said, "This is your reward." ”
Xiao Er took it with a smile and helped him take his clothes upstairs.
Jing Sichen knew from his expression that he had gotten far more money than he had gotten back, but he didn't care much if he still had something to inquire about.
sent him back to the room, and Jing Sichen stopped Xiao Er. The little second was obviously stunned for a moment, and turned around tremblingly and asked, "What else do you have to order?" ”
"Don't be nervous, I'll ask you about something."
Jing Sichen sat on the chair and said with half-squinted eyes.
"You say, you say!"
Xiao Er bent down and hurriedly said.
"What is your place called, and how far is your king?"
The skills of Jing Sichen's pretending to be were all taught by his father Ming Yichen himself, so it was impossible to learn them.
"You want to go to the royal capital, the royal capital is still tens of thousands of miles away from us. And I heard that there was a traitor caught in the royal capital, and it was lively, so you must want to see the excitement too, right? ”
This little two seems to have opened the chatterbox, and he can't close it for a while. Jing Sichen listened to him while drinking water.
"I don't think you're familiar with this place, so you might as well hire a guide. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to get lost, and there are many dangerous places along the way. ”
"Oh?"
Jing Sichen sounded interesting, presumably the traitor he said about should be his father, could it be that his father came back and was caught.
He thought about it and felt that it was better to go to the royal capital as soon as possible to see it, and his current mana had not been tried by someone here, and he didn't know the depth.
After thinking about it, he waved his hand to let Xiao'er out, thinking about leaving early the next morning. According to what Xiao Er said, there are a lot of towns along the way, and it is more convenient to find them one by one along the road than to bring a guide.
After thinking of the idea, he was also tired and lay on the bed squinting.
It was quiet for a while, and the sound of noisy shouting came from downstairs. Jing Sichen is not a nosy person, so he didn't bother to pay attention, turned over and continued to sleep.
But the sound is getting louder and louder, and gradually it is getting closer and closer. Jing Sichen was upset by the hype, turned over and sat up. Just as I was about to put on my shoes and get out of bed, the door of the room was pushed open.
A crowd of people noisily crowded in, and the guy who had helped him buy things was beaten and thrown to the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face. Jing Sichen glanced at it and stood up, fortunately he changed his clothes before going to bed.
"It's him, the prince spares his life!"
The little two pointed at Jing Sichen and cried.
