Chapter 12: The Ghost City of Fengdu (Part II)

The fat powder used on the orchid is from Zifang Pavilion, which has a strong plum blossom aroma that makes people intoxicated.

Tang Yun's whole person was stuck behind Hu Ji, and the aroma continued to waft into his nose. It's just that Tang Yun didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, these dirty people in the mud pit, even if they were dressed gracefully, but under that layer of skin, there were still Shura evil ghosts.

No one wants to be in the dark, forgotten, spurned by the sun. These people dare to do anything in order to survive.

Tang Yun's hand clenched the short knife, the blade pressed against Hu Ji's white neck, as long as Hu Ji dared to move the slightest, Tang Yun would cut her throat.

Orchid glanced back a little charmingly, and said coquettishly: "You hurt me!" ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Tang Yun's eyes: "I don't have time to entangle with you more, this is a business, and it is also good for the person behind you." Trust me, the man behind you must need my help too. This is an equivalent exchange. Chance, only once. If you miss it, you can't find it back. ”

Hu Ji snorted: "You hold me like this, I can't take you away." ”

"You'd better not play any tricks, my patience is limited."

Tang Yun pushed Hu Ji out directly, Hu Ji staggered against the wall, turned his head and glanced at Tang Yun with disgust. Suddenly, he saw Tang Yun raise the knife, and subconsciously blocked it with his hand, thinking that Tang Yun was going to commit murder.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yun directly returned the knife to her hand, as if he had intentionally revealed the gold ornament fish bag under his brocade clothes and black armor. There was a glimmer of light in Hu Ji's eyes, and she murmured: "It turned out to be a big official, the old man of the public family, he is the most ruthless, and he doesn't even know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”

"Lead the way!"

Hu Ji pursed her lips, but she also knew that she was far from being Tang Yun's opponent, so Lianbu shook lightly and led Tang Yun to a tavern hidden in the market.

Although this tavern is not as hot as the restaurant on Main Street, there are still many diners. It was the meal, and the tables on the first floor were already full. It seems that they are all regular customers, so they went to the counter to order food, and then sat down and waited, and Xiao Er was also too lazy to say hello.

Hu Ji walked in and really caught everyone's attention, but when they saw Tang Yun behind them, they didn't all wrinkle. Although the brocade clothes worn by Tang Yun evolved from the unicorn brocade clothes of the hundred horsemen, and the unicorn brocade clothes were somewhat similar to the armor of the Yulin guards in the palace. It's hard to see the difference if you don't understand.

Seeing a public figure appear here, a few presumptuous eyes couldn't help but be a little restrained.

When the shopkeeper saw Orchid coming, he explained a few words to Xiao Er, and then took Orchid to the backyard. I didn't expect that there was a spacious courtyard at the back of the restaurant. The courtyard is surrounded by densely clustered houses, separated by a wall, making it difficult to see from the outside.

There is a dilapidated brick house in the courtyard, which is a bit wide compared to the courtyard, occupying almost half of the entire courtyard.

"Why did you bring a stranger?" The shopkeeper looked at Hu Ji with some reproach, and said this sentence in front of Tang Yun.

"He's going to see the boss." Orchid said angrily.

The shopkeeper didn't care what Hu Ji's attitude was, and he looked Tang Yun up and down: "The public family is not welcome here. ”

Tang Yun said: "I want to see your leader, and I don't need your consent yet." ”

The shopkeeper snorted, pushed open the door of the house, and a strong smell of wine wafted out. There is a sip of sake in the vat, and it seems to be a place for sake brewing.

Passing between the vats, the shopkeeper walked to a halt in front of a vat, under which a wooden board was pressed. He laboriously moved the vat away, and then removed the board, and a black hole appeared underneath.

"If you want to enter a ghost town, this is the entrance." The shopkeeper said coldly.

Tang Yun pointed at Hu Ji and said, "You go down first." ”

Orchid snorted: "What a timid man. ”

So saying, but the orchid crouched down and jumped through the hole.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, I could only see the darkness below, and I couldn't see what was going on at all.

"Official, can't you get in?" There was a hint of contempt in the shopkeeper's eyes.

Tang Yun frowned and asked, "The entrance to the ghost city of Fengdu, shouldn't it be here?" ”

"Of course not here. This entrance is just an entrance I made privately, you can only enter but not exit, if you want to get out, you still have to find the main entrance of the ghost town. By the way, a word of advice. The people in the ghost town are very hostile to the public family, so you'd better change your outfit. The shopkeeper laughed.

Tang Yun asked him: "Aren't you afraid that I will report and send troops to enter along your entrance and wipe out the ghost city." ”

The shopkeeper disagreed: "If this is the case, the ghost town will be over a long time ago." Let's not talk about the masters in the ghost town, but let's talk about the structure inside, which is intricate. I think you're entering for the first time, so it's best to follow the woman honestly, and if the business with our boss is successful, he will naturally take you out. Otherwise, haha, you will stay in Nafengdu for the rest of your life. ”

The question had already been asked, and Tang Yun jumped directly from the passage.

It's a bit like the slide he used to play on when he was a child, Tang Yun's whole body kept falling down in the passage.

The shopkeeper must have invited a lot of people, and it was not easy to open such a passage underground, even in the world before he came. However, Tang Yun had seen those great craftsmen of the Winter Officials, their craftsmanship was very exquisite, and all kinds of wonderful buildings were born from their hands.

Thinking like this, the bottom is going to be low. Tang Yun suddenly stretched out his hands and feet, and the whole person was holding on in the slide. Wooden planks are built on both sides of the slide to avoid wear and tear on clothing. Tang Yun glanced down and saw that the distance below was within a safe range, so Tang Yun jumped down from the sky.

A high pile of felt cloth was built underneath, and a thick cotton blanket was laid on top, and cotton was padded underneath to relieve the momentum of jumping from above.

Tang Yun landed on the felt cloth, which was still a little high above the ground. Tang Yun found an empty area on the ground, jumped down, rolled on the ground, and as soon as he raised his head, his body was covered by three long knives.

Hu Ji twisted his waist and walked up to Tang Yun, pursed his lips and chuckled, "My lord, come with me." ”

There were three men with fierce faces beside him, and their eyes were already a little dim, a sign of a person who lived in darkness all year round. Although they are very strong, their faces are very pale and strange.

This is the ghost town of Fengdu.

The surrounding area was dim, and the surrounding walls seemed to have been excavated, and a light was placed at intervals, and a faint light emanated.

There was a dark, damp smell in the air, and the further you went inside, the stronger it became.

The surrounding walls were carved out of caves, and Tang Yun had seen many people along the way, including scrawny men, old and yellow women, and children with indifferent faces, and there was a dead air everywhere.

Several people walked for a long time, and the knives of those three people were not always on Tang Yun's neck, but stood beside Tang Yun.

There was a gate in front of him, and the surroundings became very dark, and a tall stone pillar stood on which a room was carved out, in which a torch was lit and a ladder was built on the side of the stone pillar.

"Who's coming?"

"Black Tiger Gang Hu Yanli." Orchid took out a token and handed it to the man.

The man examined it carefully, then threw it back to the orchid, and shook the bell with his hand. After a while, the floodgates slowly opened.

"Let's go."

Hu Ji walked into it, and Tang Yun followed. As soon as I entered here, I immediately felt a lot of noise around me, and the lights behind the gate became brighter.

This is the real Fengdu.

Orchid explained, "The place we came from just now can only be regarded as the outermost area of the ghost town. Just like the villages outside the Shendu City, they are the real outcasts, and even Fengdu will not receive them. ”

Along the way, Tang Yun saw the most gambling halls and green buildings.

Shendu City also has it, but the number is far less than here. As far as the eye can see, there is the crazy roar of gamblers and the coquettish voice of the Qinglou woman.

Hu Ji seemed very familiar with the surroundings, and led Tang Yun to a gambling hall, through the noisy front hall, the two walked down from the first floor, and stopped in front of a secret room.

"Chief, the man has brought it." Orchid said outside the door.

Tang Yun directly pushed the door and walked in, the lights were bright, a man was sitting on a chair, and a woman was leaning on his arm.

The few clothes on the woman's body are pitiful, and it can be seen that the two have just gone through an ambiguous affair.

The man patted the woman's buttocks and said, "Get out." ”

The woman walked out, and when she passed Tang Yun, the rich aroma wafted into her nose.

"Ali said that an official came to me, what is the matter with you?" The man's voice was rough.

Tang Yun walked in, only to find that this man had a hooked nose and deep eyes, and his eyes were still dark blue, and he turned out to be a native of the Western Regions.

Tang Yun took a pair of stools from the side, sat on them and said, "I need you to help me find some people." ”

The man scoffed: "Looking for someone? Someone from the government came to look for someone from us? ”

Tang Yun said: "Yesterday, I met a man in a black robe who peddled the Jade Buddha to me. There's a guy named Weber, and I need to find him. ”

The man shook his head: "Now that the gods are full of merchants walking the streets and alleys, the scope you said is too large. ”

Tang Yun stared at the man: "That jade Buddha can attract monsters, once a monster hears the sound and breaks into the divine capital, it will be a catastrophe." ”

"What does the catastrophe of Shendu have to do with our Fengdu?" The man laughed.

Tang Yun stretched out his finger and pointed to the ground: "Fengdu seems to be far away from the hustle and bustle of mortal worlds, but in fact, it is still closely related to the entire god. Once the city of Shendu is damaged, you don't want to be alone. A city that focuses on fun, without support, will soon perish.

It's a deal, I've heard of your ghost town, and it says you can do anything if you give money. I also asked you to come to find it on a temporary basis. You take the money, I'm done, it's as simple as that. ”

The man sneered, "How do I know you don't have other ideas?" ”

Tang Yun took out his gold ornament fish bag and said, "You can take this as my promise." ”

Gold ornament fish bags, only officials of the third rank and above can wear them in the imperial court.

There was a gleam in the man's eyes: "I didn't expect a big man to come!" This can be done. ”

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of this secret room, and a person broke in from the outside.

"My lord, the group of people from the White Dragon Gang are here again!" The man's face was still bloody, he was very embarrassed, and his tone was very panicked.
