Chapter 369: Trap
There are a lot of bustling ghosts in the teahouses of the underworld, and most of them don't seem to have any spirit, hanging their heads one by one, swaying to the ground.
But after they drank a cup of yin tea, they immediately looked energetic.
The yin tea of this underworld has a lot of help for replenishing the soul.
The storyteller stood on a high platform, holding a piece of waking wood in his hand, and he looked around, then slapped the waking wood on the bookcase.
"Smack!"
With a sound, the storyteller opened his mouth and said, "What we want to talk about today is the legendary figure in our southeast, the Lord of Purple Night City. ”
The story is told.
Zi Ye was a hunter before his death, and he hunted countless animals in his life, and hunting fierce beasts such as tigers was also a common thing.
And he also has a special eye, that is, his purple eyes, his eyes have a special ability, that is, the soul, those beasts that he killed, the soul is all bound by him in the animal bones, animal skins, he makes animal bones into ornaments, animal skins into clothes, when hunting, those beast souls will be used by him.
When he was dying, the beast spirits bound by him broke free from his shackles and desperately tore at his soul.
If Yin Cha hadn't arrived in time and pulled his soul into the underworld, he would have been scattered directly.
Ziye arrived in the underworld, and was imprisoned in hell to be punished because he hunted too many souls during his lifetime.
The oil pot, the knife mountain, and the sea of fire, he has all suffered it.
After 800 years of hellish tribulations, he began to live in the underworld, settling in a city called Daliang in the southeast.
Daliang City is the predecessor of the current Purple Night City.
After Zi Ye lived in Daliang City, because he had just suffered the catastrophe of hell, his soul was still very weak, so when he first arrived in Daliang City, he had been bullied, but he did not succumb to fate.
It is said that he created his own set of cultivation methods, and he slowly became stronger among ghosts by relying on that set of cultivation methods.
Later, he was photographed by a bad leader in Daliang City, and he was made a bad guy, and during the period of doing bad things, he repeatedly made meritorious contributions, subdued countless evil ghosts who refused to go to the underworld.
Relying on these merits, he rose all the way, and was later selected by the city lord of Daliang City and recruited him as a city protector.
When the city lord of Daliang City was about to reach the end of his life, Zi Ye directly led his subordinates to rebel and seized the position of the city lord of Daliang City in one fell swoop.
At that time, Yama the Great was just beginning to retreat, and the underworld was in turmoil, and no one cared about him.
After seizing the position of the lord of the city, he changed the city of Daliang to the city of Purple Night, and then ruled the southeast strongly, becoming the overlord of the southeast of the underworld.
I'm just going to tell this story roughly, there are a lot of details and highlights, but those don't help me much to understand the situation of the purple night.
This book has been talked about for a long time, and the guests in the teahouse have left one after another, and only Zixian and I insist on listening to this book.
After we had listened to the book, the storyteller slowly got up, took some money from the guests, and left the teahouse.
Zixian said: "That ghost who tells the story is a bit of a problem. ”
I said, "I have seen it a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have listened to him here, I didn't just want to understand the situation of Ziye." ”
Zixian nodded at me.
We followed the storyteller out of the teahouse, and he seemed to be aware of our tracking, so the more he walked the street, the more remote it became, and the fewer ghosts there were on the street.
In a few moments, he led us to the end of a street with a ruined temple at the end of which the ghost had disappeared.
I searched with my eyes, and found nothing.
Zixian and I followed up, and found that there were no idols in the ruined temple, and it was empty, except for some broken furniture, even a broken bell, and nothing else.
Zixian said "Huh" and said, "Why did it disappear all at once?" ”
Before I could speak, Zixian continued to ask me, "Little fox, can you sense the strength of that storyteller just now?" ”
I said, "We are all lords, and we can't find out about him, so can we be the primordial masters?" He is so familiar with the situation of Purple Night, maybe he is Purple Night himself. ”
Zixian was curious: "Did Ziye himself go to the street to tell stories?" That's interesting. ”
At this point, I walked up to the bell and struck it a few times, saying, "This bell is some years old." ”
As I spoke, I poured a stream of yin qi into the bell.
"Buzz!"
A bell rang out, and then the windows and doors of the ruined temple all closed with a bang.
Zixian was immediately ready for battle.
I smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, Zixian, the other party has no killing intent." ”
Then a black gas flashed from the bell, and then the storyteller slowly appeared in front of our eyes.
He looked at me, and then said in surprise: "You were able to find out that I possessed this bell, how did you do it, even if you are a strong person, you may not be able to find me." ”
After seeing the ghost storyteller, I was even more surprised, because I still couldn't find out the specific situation of his cultivation, and I even felt that he didn't have the slightest cultivation.
Of course, I know that he will definitely not be without cultivation, but so powerful that I can't detect it.
So in front of him, I won't play any tricks and just tell the truth.
After hearing me explain the origin, he said "oh" and said, "You are the newly sealed new king of Yama!" ”
I asked, "I haven't asked my predecessor what to call him, you won't be the Purple Night City Lord we are looking for, right?" ”
He smiled and said: "If I were Zi Ye, I knew that you were here to trouble me, I would have taken action to clean you up, I am not Zi Ye, but ......"
I asked him what it was.
He smiled and said, "But Ziye is my apprentice!" ”
Yes!
Hearing the old man say this, my heart was still nervous, so to speak, this old man and Ziye are a family.
He continued to smile and said, "You don't have to be so nervous, although Zi Ye is my apprentice, he has always refused to admit that I am his master in his heart, and even tried to kill me again and again. ”
"If I hadn't hid it better, I'm afraid I would have died at his hands I don't know how many times."
I was surprised: "Looking at your strength, I'm afraid that there are also cultivators above the Yuan Master, will you be afraid of Purple Night?" ”
He said: "I'm afraid of his eyes, his eyes, which happen to be my nemesis." ”
"If you can help me kill Ziye, I will tell you a big secret, a big secret about the underworld, this secret is not necessarily known even if it is the Emperor Yama."
I asked him about what?
He smiled mysteriously and said, "It's all a secret, and I can't reveal the news to you." ”
This storyteller is weird, and what he says has some credibility, and it's hard for me to judge.
I looked at Zixian, and she also shook her head at me, obviously not knowing what judgment to make.
I said: "Anyway, we are here to trouble Ziye, you have been here for many years, and you know Ziye so well, we can join forces, I don't know where Ziye is in the city now?" ”
The old storyteller said, "Purple Night is not in this city, he went to Aoba Castle." ”
Aoba Castle?
Isn't that the city where Dongfang Xuan was before!
I asked curiously, "What is he going to do over there?" ”
The storyteller said: "Aoba City and Purple Night City are not far away, both cities are considered to be in the southeast, but Aoba City is a little more easterly, so that city is sometimes considered east, sometimes southeast." ”
"Zi Ye has long wanted to annex Aoba City, but Dongfang Xuan has some magic weapon in his hand that can restrict his eyes, so he has never made a move on Dongfang Xuan."
"A few days ago, Dongfang Xuan was killed by you, and the new lord of Aoba City, in order to consolidate his rule, invited Purple Night to help, and promised Purple Night to make Aoba City a vassal of Purple Night City."
"And Purple Night, this time is also to find a treasure that restricts his eyes, once he finds that treasure, he will definitely go on a killing spree in Aoba City, what he needs is not a vassal, but a city that belongs to him completely."
I said slowly: "In this way, we are here in Purple Night City this time, and we have to rush to Aoba City to find Purple Night." ”
The old storyteller said, "Yes! ”
As he spoke, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and it seemed that there must be some kind of trap in this.
