Tomb of Impermanence Chapter 129: The Orc Tavern
Inside the castle of the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, the peaceful and lively scene of the past has finally been restored. The street-side orc tavern had also reopened, and the tavern's proprietor, a bobcat spirit, had just finished picking up her goods from the back door of the kitchen and had run to the front desk to greet guests.
Two ghosts came in from outside the tavern, one was tall and thin in white with a white veil over her face, and the other was a female ghost in a red dress with a white shroud wrapped around her face, revealing only her eyes, nose and mouth. The female ghost in red leaned almost all over the ghost in white, as if she was seriously ill.
The boss of the lynx hurriedly ran over and greeted, "The guest officer is here, please sit down!" He cleaned up an empty table by the window and sat down for the two of them.
The white-clothed ghost helped the woman in red, sat down side by side, and said to the bobcat boss: "This seat is good, and you can see the scenery on the street." ”
The boss of the lynx smiled and said, "The guest officer seems to be a foreigner, right? Most of them are from the Five Directions Ghost Domain? ”
The white-clothed ghost put a stack of underworld coins on the table and said, "The shopkeeper is right, my sister and I have traveled around in this underworld underworld, and this time we came to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, and we are not familiar with the place, so I ask the boss to take care of me." ”
Seeing that the white-clothed ghost had not ordered the drink, the bobcat boss made a generous move, smiled, and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." What the guest officer wants, despite the command. ”
These two people are Bai Wuyan, the soul envoy of Xudu, and the female corpse Honggu.
Bai Wuyan ordered a pot of sake and two plates of meat sausage snacks, and asked the shopkeeper, "Boss, what is new to tell us about this mountain villa castle in the past few days, and chat to relieve boredom?"
The bobcat boss said: "Anyway, there are not many guests now, so I'll tell you about it." He also pulled up a chair, sat down at the table, and said, "The guest officer must have been at the bottom of the mountain yesterday, did you hear the strange whistling of our castle?"
Bai Wuyan said: "Yes, I heard it too, so I felt strange in my heart, and I wanted to inquire." ”
The bobcat boss said: "Hehe, it seems that you are still a step late, and you haven't encountered the zombies all over the mountains, right?"
Bai Wuyan was taken aback and said, "What's the matter, there are zombies here too?"
The bobcat boss said: "Here, there have been zombies for a long time, but they don't usually appear, and only when the corpse queen summons them, the zombies will appear." But they never come into the castle. ”
Honggu chuckled and said, "It seems that this Netherworld Mansion is really not peaceful, and there are zombies everywhere." ”
The bobcat boss looked at Honggu and said, "This girl, presumably you are injured on your face, so you tied a white cloth?"
Honggu was stunned for a moment and said, "What?"
The Bobcat boss said: "I advise you to cover your hair and face, you look like this and it is easy to mistake you for a zombie." But fortunately, the girl is beautiful, and she doesn't look like a zombie. ”
Honggu listened to the shopkeeper praise her beauty, and she was happy in her heart, and said, "Thank you boss, well, I did tie the bandage because my face was injured." ”
The Bobcat boss smiled: "I said it! Yesterday, a large number of zombies suddenly appeared in the mountains without warning, so now everyone is still a little scared." ”
Honggu said: "Are you afraid of those zombies?"
Boss Bobcat said: "Originally, we are all ghosts, not as afraid of death and zombies as those mortals in the human world, but zombie corpse poison can be contagious, and ghosts are no exception." Once infected, you lose your original mind. You see, I'm living a good life in this underworld, but if I get bitten by that zombie, my mind fails, I become a walking corpse, my body is dry and shriveled, stupid and ugly, and I don't feel anything, isn't that any different from being dead? So our ghosts are also a little afraid of zombies, and we don't want to provoke them. ”
Bai Wuyan said: "Then why are there so many zombies in the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa?
The bobcat boss said: "Guest officer, you don't know, those zombies were brought by the corpse queen Houqing, one of the ancestors of ancient zombies, and that corpse queen Houqing is the guest of our Ten Thousand Beast Venerable, and she was invited to help us join forces to deal with the army of the human and ghost clan." ”
Bai Wuyan said: "Oh, I see, so the beast ghost clan and the human ghost clan are officially at war?"
The Bobcat boss said: "This is all a matter of the official scene, and we ordinary people can't control it." Business is done, money is given, and life goes on. ”
Bai Wuyan asked again: "You just said that there were zombie groups all over the mountains yesterday, what happened later?"
The bobcat boss said: "Later, I heard that the corpse queen appeared on the city tower, let out a soul-shaking roar, and drove away all those zombies!"
Bai Wuyan said: "Those zombie groups suddenly appeared, weren't they summoned by the Corpse King?"
The bobcat boss laughed and said: "The guest officer asked well, this story is exciting! You guessed right, the zombie group suddenly appeared, and it was indeed called by the corpse king, but it turned out that the corpse king who summoned the zombie group before was fake, and the real Houqing was the corpse king who let out a long howl to stop the zombie group from going up the mountain." ”
Bai Wuyan's heart moved, and he was surprised: "How can there be a real and fake corpse king?"
The bobcat boss smiled proudly: "You are asking the right person, only I, Bobcat, know some details about this street, because people often come to my house to drink, and I have heard a lot from them, and I know a lot." ”
While he was talking, suddenly a few beast and ghost clansmen appeared on the street, several before and after, some dressed in official uniforms, some wearing hats, and pressed the brim of their hats very low, for fear that others would recognize them, and they looked mysterious, and walked from East Street to West Street.
The Bobcat boss quietly pointed at the gang with his hand and said, "Hey, look, it's coming." These people are from Lord Yuan's house, and I don't know what mysterious errand I am going to do today. ”
Bai Wuyan looked at the backs of those people, and always felt that a few figures were familiar, but for a while, he couldn't speak. Seeing them stop in front of a large mansion at the corner of the street, the door opened, and the group of mermaids entered.
Bai Wuyan asked the Bobcat boss, "Who is this mansion?"
The bobcat boss said: "This is Mrs. Xiangliu's house, that Mrs. Xiangliu is the sister of General Xiangxiang, who is accustomed to being obsessed with unique stunts, and is deeply favored by the Venerable of Ten Thousand Beasts, and has a very good relationship with Lord Changyou and Lord Yuan." ”
Bai Wuyan took out a silver ingot, handed it to the lynx boss, and said, "Thank you boss lady for chatting with us for so long, we don't need to look for the silver, we have to take a step in advance." As he spoke, he picked up Honggu and flashed out of the tavern.
The bobcat boss said, "Well, thank you for the reward!" A strange smile flashed on his face.
