Chapter 692 - No Trouble Request
The young man's name is Li Chenxi, and he is 27 years old this year. It's not an ability, but it's taken "Skillful Potions" and "Agility Potions", a pair of wonderful hands and amazing dexterity, and occasionally does some petty theft, and lives quite passable in the last days.
This time, Li Chenxi was hunted down and killed, and it was precisely because of petty theft. The claws reached out to the untouchable.
Speaking of which, Li Chenxi's stealing skills are indeed a must, and with a wrong skill, he took away the most valuable treasure from a capable person.
But I never thought that the capable person turned out to be the leader of a small organization in the base, and this treasure is more than that. Therefore, Li Chenxi can be said to have stabbed Ma Fengwo at this time. was chased out of the base, but after all, he couldn't run away, and was killed and dumped on the street.
Li Chenxi is unlucky, but in the end of the world, I don't know how many unjust souls like him die every day. But he was lucky, because all his memories were absorbed by Chen Mu, and his last obsession was also understood by Chen Mu, so he was "alive" in another way.
Yes, at this time, with Li Chenxi's appearance, it was Chen Mu who was stiff.
From Li Chenxi's memory, Chen Mu learned that the Yin Cao Difu was set up in the capital of Xu, but the city was only in the yang world. If you really want to enter the Netherworld, you must pass through the "Ghost Gate".
Just like the gods opened up the heavenly court and the Buddha opened up the Buddha country, probably because of the power of belief of the Chinese people for thousands of years, the underworld also opened up its own different dimension.
If you want to enter the underworld, you must have a way. This road is three feet long and two feet wide, and it is a pass photo printed on coarse paper, but it has the special power of the power of the underworld. It is printed with the words "Xudu Tianzi sent to the road guide" and "The whole world must have this introduction in order to be reincarnated and ascended to heaven in the Xudu Prefecture" and the image of the king of Yama, and below is printed the three large seals of "Xudu Tianzi", "Xudu City God" and "Xudu County Government".
Only those who hold the guide can enter and exit the underworld freely, and a guide corresponds to a person. This person's name and face are registered in the underworld, which is equivalent to the "passport" of the ghost country. Outsiders couldn't enter it at all - it was precisely because he knew the news from the information before that Chen Mu didn't go to the Netherworld Mansion for the first time after coming to the Xudu.
However, Li Chenxi has died, and his guide Chen Mu can be borrowed.
After recalling and sorting out Li Chenxi's memories of the Netherworld Mansion, and after feeling that there was nothing wrong, Chen Mu followed his memory and walked towards the ghost gate.
The ghost gate pass is an ancient pavilion with four corners of the cornices. The dark mountain gate is as wide as the sky, and the ancient meaning is vast. Blood-rusty plaque. Engraved with the terrifying three big characters of "Ghost Gate", it is eye-catching.
There are eighteen punishment ghosts lined up on both sides of the gate, all of them are green, with teeth and claws, different postures, and thick black smoke around them.
The ancient trees on the side of the pass are shaded, the birds and crows are noisy, and the cold stars and cool moon give people a sense of gloomy and terrifying.
These eighteen punish evil spirits. It is the doorman of the Netherworld Mansion, each of whom has a third-level strength, although it is not worth mentioning in Chen Mu's eyes. But for those with ordinary abilities, the outermost gate alone was guarded by eighteen third-level Adventists. It is conceivable that the strength of the underworld is conceivable.
In his memory, Li Chenxi was just an ordinary person who had taken some potions, but because he stayed in Fengdu County when the end came, he was in the power of the underworld when he returned. I was lucky enough to distribute the guides. So every time he crossed this ghost gate, he was trembling.
However, Chen Mu was indifferent to this, and took out the road with mottled and dried blood stains from his arms and handed it to the punishment ghost. The torturer took it and looked at Lu Yin. Then he looked at Chen Mu's face again, and waved his black and thin claws, which was considered to be passing.
Chen Mu nodded at it and walked towards the inside of the ghost gate.
Inside and outside, it's like two completely different worlds.
Standing outside the ghost gate, looking through the door, the stairs and trees inside the door can be seen at a glance. But when you step into it, you suddenly change the world and come to a huge city, with ancient buildings lined up one after another, and ghosts or pedestrians coming and going on the streets, and the two worlds of yin and yang are particularly harmonious.
Chen Mu had already seen this scenery from Li Chenxi's memory, so he was not surprised, but after pausing in place for a moment, he followed his memory and walked in the direction of home.
It's just that what Chen Mu didn't pay attention to was that at the same time as he left, a vendor setting up a stall on the side of the street withdrew his gaze, and a puzzle flashed in his eyes: "Didn't Brother Strange Beast just say that he had killed this little thief, why did this guy come back with a swagger?" ”
The peddler looked at Chen Muyuan's back and shook his head. I'm going to ask when I go back and see Brother Beast, but I'm too lazy to meddle with things now.
After all, looking at the thief's unscrupulous posture, there may be something hidden in this matter, and he doesn't want to be stupid and wade into troubled waters.
On the other side, after Chen Mu walked a few streets along the avenue, he turned into a small road. The prospect is a dirty and messy slum. Li Chenxi's home is here.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are classes. So even in the Netherworld, it's no exception.
First of all, the management of the underworld is mainly the ten palace kings and the seventy-five divisions under them, and then the ten yin marshals, judges, Meng Po, etc., as well as the lowest and largest number of evil punishment ghosts.
And above the Ten Halls of Yama, Luo Yu Six Heavens Guarding the Palace God and the Five Directions Ghost Emperor and others, all exist like the Emperor Tai, and they don't care if they don't show up easily, and the power is in the hands of the Ten Halls of Yama.
Leave aside these adventists. The rest of the classes, from high to low, are basically arranged according to their strength.
The highest status is those who have fused with the advent of the treasure, or some powerful folk ghosts and the like.
Secondly, ordinary people who have skills and can participate in the management and operation of the city are considered good citizens.
And then the rest of the people are considered poor. You can only make a living by selling coolies or doing unspeakable work.
Li Chenxi is a pauper.
In fact, with his cleverness and skillful hands, he could not get a job under the hands of a certain handsome or underworld official, and become a good citizen.
However, Li Chenxi is not alone, and has a younger brother and a younger sister to take care of.
The younger brother's name is Li Chenguang. He is twenty-three years old. Ten years ago, at the time of the Doomsday, he was only thirteen years old. Although he survived tenaciously, he was disabled in an accident and had to stay in bed all day.
My sister's name is Li Kaiyan, she is ingenious, and she is only nineteen years old this year. That is, ten years ago, when the end came, she was only nine years old.
Li Chenxi survived this apocalypse with his younger brothers and sisters as a teenager, and you can imagine how much bitter blood and tears he paid. Before dying. What he is obsessed with is his younger brothers and sisters!
Chen Mu's footsteps stopped.
In front of him was a thatched hut.
The thatched hut is very small, built with rags and thatch at the corner of the house next to it, barely sheltering from the wind and rain. But this simple thatched house is the home of the three brothers and sisters who have lived for ten years!
When he walked to the front of the house, with Chen Mu's sensitive sense of smell, he could already smell a faint smell of blood in the air. He lifted the rag-like curtain and went into the house, and saw a pile of thatch in the corner. A thin, pale-skinned young man lay there, but his eyes were wide open and staring at the sky. There was a scratch on the neck from a neat blade, and the corpse was already cold.
The young man's body was covered with a large rag made up of several pieces of clothing that had been sewn and repaired. It's a quilt, and on top of the quilt, there is a piece of clothing that is being sewn - this is because Li Chenguang's legs are disabled, in order to help a little. I specially learned some sewing skills from my sister and helped others sew clothes to earn some small money, hoping to reduce the pressure on some of my brother.
Chen Mu's eyes were still sad and joyless. He looked down at the ground.
Inside the thatched house, there is naturally no floor. As a result, you can see the messy footprints on the ground, the overturned basin in one corner of the house, and the two scratches on the ground caused by dragging.
- Especially on the ground, a huge footprint in the shape of an obvious bare foot is particularly conspicuous!
Chen Mu closed his eyes, and the spontaneous combination in his mind restored the scene at that time:
In the dilapidated thatched hut, the younger brother sat on the bed with the sewn clothes in his hands, while the younger sister was in the other corner of the room, washing her hands.
At this time, a group of men in black rushed in and controlled both of them.
Then, the barefoot guy called Brother Beast walked in, and when he saw Li Kaiyan, maybe he was disrespectful, or maybe he was teasing. In the midst of the struggle, Li Kaiyan knocked over the basin, and Li Chenguang became angry, but he was casually dagger with a sharp dagger by a man in black. Shou slashed his throat.
Li Kaiyan screamed in despair, but was knocked unconscious by the beast brother and dragged out of the thatched house.
It seems that Li Chenxi understands very well how cruel the person he provoked is, the target is dead, and the things left behind are also recovered, but he still has to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. So before he died, he said the word "save" with a trace of the most humble expectation.
Chen Mu sighed, walked over, and reached out to caress Li Chenguang's dead eyes. Then he turned around and walked out of the house.
It seems that before Li Chenxi died, he said that he could promise him a non-troublesome request
It doesn't seem to be much trouble to help him rescue Li Kaiyan
The corners of Chen Mu's mouth hooked a cold arc and walked towards the avenue.
A neighbor next to him saw Chen Mu and hurriedly hid back in the room, pointing and whispering.
Chen Mu didn't care, and after coming to the avenue, he identified it. And he walked in one direction.
In his memory, what Li Chenxi provoked was an organization composed of a group of adventists in the underworld, called the Ghost Mutual Aid Association, which was probably nonsense such as "everyone helps each other and lives together in the apocalypse".
There are about 100 people in the organization, a small number of whom are capable people, and the rest are so-called "good citizens" who are scattered among some functional organs of the prefecture. The wrist is not said to be through the sky, but it is also a tyrant in the ghost town.
Li Kaiyan was obviously taken away by the "beast brother" who chased and killed Li Chenxi before, and the footprints in the thatched house are the best proof. Those guys probably also thought that these slum people could not pose any threat at all, and these people's lives were like ants on the road, so they didn't even hide the traces they left behind.
That beast brother and Li Chenxi are obviously two levels of people, so even in the latter's memory, I don't know about that beast brother. What's more, the ghost town is so big, and it is even more difficult to find someone aimlessly than looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, this kind of thing is a very simple matter for Chen Mu.
Following the direction of the ghost mutual aid society in my memory, I came to a city full of courtyards in the ghost town.
Then, casually asked passers-by about the location of the Ghost Mutual Aid Society, and was easily identified as a courtyard. So, in the stunned gaze of the man, Chen Mu walked to the door wall of the courtyard, raised his foot and kicked it, and directly kicked the door panel out directly!
Passers-by trembled, they didn't expect Chen Mu to come to find trouble. Without saying a word, he turned around and ran, for fear of being affected.
And the response of the Ghost Aid Society was indeed not slow. Chen Mu just kicked open the gate here, and two people immediately rushed out of the courtyard, and when they saw the scattered gate and Chen Mu standing quietly at the door, they were stunned for a moment, and they didn't seem to have seen such a scene.
But the next moment, one of the guys showed a hideous look on his face: "Boy, you are looking for death!" ”
As he spoke, this guy had already clenched his fists and rushed up.
It can be seen that this guy is a practitioner. Although he was not an ability, his steps were vigorous, and the three steps rushed to the front like a tiger, and his fist blasted towards Chen Mu's chest like a cannonball from under the ribeye.
Chen Mu stretched out his hand and lightly put it on his palm.
Then I heard the sound of bones clattering together. The guy's entire right arm was pulled down like rags with his screams.
Chen Mu gently pushed his body again.
It was said to be gentle, but this guy's body flew out like a tattered ball, slammed his back into the wall next to him, and then slowly slid down against the wall, and left a terrible blood mark.
Seeing the tragic situation of his companion, the other guy immediately swallowed a mouthful of spit, and then turned around and ran, wanting to go back and call for some help, but in fact, he wanted to stay away from Chen Mu, a bad star.
However, as soon as he turned his head, suddenly Chen Mu's left hand stretched out suddenly, and his palm turned into a sharp snow-white blade, which slashed lightly and flexibly across his ankles.
This poor guy fell directly to the ground in a dog-eating posture, and as soon as he turned over, he was stepped on his chest by Chen Mu, as if he was pressed under a big mountain, and he couldn't move.
Then, in his ears, he heard a flat voice that seemed to be without any emotion:
"I asked, you answered. Got it? (To be continued.) )
