Chapter 100: Ghost Doctor Shen Tu

Fengdu Vain City is located on the north bank of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in the land of Bashu, surrounded by mountains and waters, and the canyon depression where it is located is the intersection of Xiongshan Mountain and turbulent meteorology, which is a gloomy place that is extremely rare in the entire land of Shenzhou.

The sky above the ghost city is full of smoke and forests, and there are no people in the nearby thirty miles except for the dead city, and it has become a ghost place where people in the rivers and lakes have heard of it. In the Yangtze River, the passing merchant ships can only sail away safely after paying the protection fee, escorted by the ghosts and ghosts of the dead city.

The treacherous environment, several top masters and three thousand ghostly pawns who are not afraid of life and death, and the city of vain death, which is the first of the four secret places in the rivers and lakes, has always been the existence of the people in the rivers and lakes.

Li Tiantu crouched motionless on a towering tree next to the main gate of the Vain Death City, and the time had passed for a day and a night.

One side of the main gate of the city of vain death is built in the crack of the canyon in the shape of a city wall, and the entrance and exit can only pass through the middle of the doorway, and there are three big characters of "vain death city" in the book above the doorway, which adds a bit of horror to this place. The gates are guarded by more than 50 ghostly guards in shifts for twelve hours a day, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and difficult for birds to cross.

Li Tiantu, who felt a headache after seeing these things in front of him, observed intently for a day and a night, and barely saw the potential law of changing guards at the city gate.

The hillside on the right side of the canyon is on the low ground, and the ten Nether Ghost Clans guarding this place will have a slight disturbance when they change guards at dusk, and this is the best time for Li Tiantu to take advantage of the chaos to enter.

Li Tiantu has learned from the chatter of the ghost guards that Baili Changhong has been traveling in the rivers and lakes in recent years, and is not in the ghost city all the year round.

Li Tiantu, who learned the news, was greatly relieved. Originally, he was still thinking about how to lure one of them away if both of them were in the works, but now it seems that it is providence to help others.

Li Tiantu is not a reckless person, he is not arrogant enough to think that he can retreat with the joint efforts of Yan Zhen and Baili Changhong.

Just when the city gate changed guards at dusk the next day, Li Tiantu saw the opportunity to slip into the city of vain death from the right side of the city gate.

There was very little vegetation in the city, only a few big black trees with bare branches, and the ghostly ghosts patrolling the city had a short interval, making Li Tiantu feel that he had nowhere to hide.

After entering the city, you will see a narrow gatehouse about three stories high, and the front of the gatehouse is engraved with the words "Ghost Gate" two feet above the ground.

Li Tiantu lifted his breath and flew to the top floor of the gatehouse, and he secretly called it a fluke in his heart. Perhaps the city of vain death is too big, although this "ghost gate" is a very small city tower, but it is not guarded by ghost guards, it seems to be just a building with more symbolic meaning than practical value. Otherwise, I am afraid that Li Tiantu will face the culling of the ghost soldiers in the city as soon as he lands.

Looking around, Li Tiantu, who was hidden on the top floor of the Ghost Gate Pass, had a full view of the entire situation in the city of vain death.

The buildings here are dark and black, and the night is low, like a dormant dark beast, as if it wants to choose people to eat.

Deep in the valley, an underground river originating from a crack in the canyon reveals itself at the intersection of yin and yang, passing through the deepest part of the valley in front of the Hades Palace, which is half-embedded in the mountain, and hidden at the bottom of the mountain under the rock wall on the other side. The water flow speed in the river is better than the water of the Yangtze River outside the city, and it looks deep and bottomless from a distance, and there is a trace of cold air overflowing from the water, which is worthy of the name of "Yellow Spring".

A black stone bridge made of non-gold and non-jade is suspended in the air above the "Yellow Spring", the bridge is one zhang long, more than three feet wide, although there is no majestic momentum, but its gloomy atmosphere is full. On the side of the stone bridge facing the city gate, a dark gray granite stone seven or eight feet high is erected on the side of the bridge, and the three big black characters "Nai He Bridge" carved by someone on it are impressive.

The flowers on the other side were born on the bank of this "Yellow Spring", but under the bridge.

But Li Tiantu's goal this time is not here, because it is early spring, and the flowers on the other side are in July every year.

The folk have heard that during the Halloween Festival in mid-July, all the ghosts in Fengdu came out together, rushed to the Yellow Spring Water, stepped on the Nai He Bridge, and rushed to the burial place. At this time, the flowers on the other side of the Yellow Spring are the first level that the souls have to pass, and the souls of the Fengdu who have been baptized by the flowers on the other side have faded away from the ghosts, and they will not bring trouble to the mortal world when they go to the countryside to find relatives. And the flowers on the other side after drinking the ghostly spirit are blooming brilliantly on Halloween, bright as blood, and the most thrilling. Perhaps due to absorbing too much ghost energy, the flower has been cursed by the gods and has become the famous flower of hell curse.

Of course, this still can't stop people's love for the flowers on the other side. Careful people may find that the legend about this flower is very similar to the experience of the Buddhist King Jizo Bodhisattva, who has the potential to go through the evil spirits of the world, and who will go to hell if I do not go to hell.

Sadly sad, the Jizo King Bodhisattva wasted only ten thousand years, while the flower on the other side was cursed by the gods to fall into hell forever because of the ghostly aura.

Li Tiantu's target was the Medicine King Hall in the rightmost corner of the valley. There should be a flower from the other side of the city that has been collected for a long time in the past dynasties.

After confirming the location of the Medicine King Palace, Li Tiantu secretly estimated the distance between the two, and after a little hesitation, when a team of patrolling ghost guards had just walked by, the birds jumped off the Ghost Gate Gate Tower and swept towards a cluster of rockeries on the right side of the valley.

He had to rush to the rockery to hide himself before the next wave of patrolling ghosts arrived. If the traces are exposed at this time, then there will be no second chance.

The interval between the patrolling ghosts and pawns in the city is extremely short, only within a snap of a finger, and the distance between the ghost gate and the rockery group located on the right side of the valley is thirty zhang away, so it is not easy to pass quietly.

In fact, Li Tiantu is not sure at all, he rushed forward knowing that it was impossible.

When there were still about ten zhang away from the rockery, a group of ghostly pawns appeared in the distance. Seeing that he was about to expose his body, Li Tiantu was in a hurry, holding a small pebble in his hand and catapulting in the opposite direction to himself.

Li Tiantu had secretly transported the true qi of the Heavenly Dao before, so that the speed of the small stone was amazing, and in the blink of an eye, it catapulted on the black stone wall of the Ghost Gate, making a lot of strange noises, and at the same time, it also attracted the attention of the team of ghost pawns who were originally walking towards Li Tiantu. Li Tiantu took advantage of this golden opportunity to hide in the rockery.

Perhaps because there is a reputation of the "medicine king" Xuanyuan Yi in the rivers and lakes, although the "ghost doctor" Shentu of the dead city is not weak in the land of Bashu, but his influence in the entire rivers and lakes has not been great.

Shen Tu is a special physician in the city of vain, he has found a new way on top of the medical path, and is known for his tricky medicine, and he also has the effect of a miracle soldier. But because of his penchant for drug research, he has a bad reputation in the rivers and lakes, and can only be regarded as the first doctor in the rivers and lakes after Xuanyuanyi.
