Huayan and Xiao Minglang came to the city gate, raised their eyes, and sure enough, they saw three crooked characters written on the head of the city: 'Netherworld County'.

Strangely, the tower was unguarded, the gate was half-open, and sporadic candlelight faintly peeked through the city.

Hua Yan and Xiao Minglang glanced at each other, and they both smelled a strange smell.

But now they have no choice, they have to get the antidote!

The two didn't say a word, and resolutely walked forward in sync.

There are no people around, there are cicadas swaying in the distance, the flowers are about to bloom, spring is getting thicker, and the beautiful scene at this moment does not match this empty city at all.

The whole Netherworld County is not big, there are only three streets in front of and behind, and there are no more than twenty families living in it. The windows and doors of the house are closed, and there is no sound for half a minute, which really looks like an empty city.

"This is the Human Inn?" Hua Yan and Xiao Minglang came to a small black building, and she pointed to the number plate upstairs and said.

"This should be it."

Xiao Minglang and Huayan slowly walked up the steps, only to see that the door of the house was half-hidden, and there was a light coming out, and under the light, a stone plaque was displayed in front of the door. The stone plaque is engraved with a line of words, 'Equivalent Exchange'.

"Trick up!" Disdainful, Hua Yan vigorously pushed open the door and walked into the house first.

With a "squeak", the door behind him immediately closed automatically, and before the painting could see the scene in front of him, the candlelight in the room was quickly extinguished! The inn was silent again.

"Are you there?" At a loss, Hua Yan stretched out his hand and groped around.

There was no response in the darkness.

She tried to open the door behind her, only to find that it was a prison door made of copper and iron!

Suddenly, a figure was cast in by the moonlight, and under the moonlight, a short and thin man in black walked up the stairs of the inn step by step. Out of nowhere, the wind blew vigorously on the worn lanterns on the beams, and there was a burst of wild laughter.

"Since you're here, why don't you see each other?" A hoarse, old voice rippled in the darkness.

"Who are you?!" Hua Yan hid the panic in his heart and asked hesitantly.

"Come on, come on, let me see you......" In the blink of an eye, the black shadow flickered upstairs and disappeared.

Huayan hesitated, thinking, that ghost head doesn't know what trick he is playing, but the lives of my father and the people of the city depend on this, how can I give up so easily!

Thinking of this, she resolutely walked towards the stairwell step by step. One, two, three, she went up the last staircase. Upstairs there were three large rooms, only one of which was ajar, and it seemed that it was a deliberate clue.

The inside of the door was even darker than the outside, and Huayan stood in the corridor, even though he tried his best to see the situation in the door.

Her heart was almost out of her mouth, and she had to admit that the strange atmosphere scared her. But she still gritted her teeth and walked forward, without looking back, without pausing. It wasn't a long distance from where she was to the nearest door, but it seemed like an unattainable long way for her to walk at this moment.

At last, she walked out of the door, and when she came to the door, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and at this moment if someone rushed out of the door, she could almost be killed with a single hand.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" and the door shut! Hua Yan's heart was shocked, and he took a few steps back.

But it was just the wind, messing into the scene. Huayan bit his lip with his teeth, stroked his heart with his left hand, and gently pushed the door open with his right hand, but there was still no response from the door.

She mustered her courage and quietly walked in.

Although she still had to shiver from time to time, her whole body was under strict guard.

She was always on the lookout for a surprise attack in the dark.

But when she had taken a few steps, nothing had happened at all, and the room was so dark that she could barely reach her fingers, and she could see nothing, hear nothing—except the sound of her own heartbeat.

This strange silence surprised her, and she couldn't figure out what was going on.

What kind of trap and trick are lurking in this little building? Where has Minglang gone?

Why didn't the people in this small building attack her? So, what are they waiting for?

The matter has come to this, and the painting face can only move forward. When she arrived in this small building, she didn't want to go out anyway, no matter what traps or tricks there were in this small building, she could only resign herself to fate.

She walked step by step, cold sweat constantly dripping out of her palms, she broke through blindly, and she could fall into the trap of killing at any time, except for her, few people dared to move forward.

At this time, the lights suddenly came on!

When he looked in the way, he saw that there were lights on all sides, illuminating the room as bright as day

Only then did Hua Yan see that this huge house was full of all kinds of herbs on all sides, and the herbs occupied five tenths of the room, and in the rest of the place, there were more than a dozen stoves, and the fires were all burning vigorously, and some of the stoves were burning with copper kettles, some were using pots, and some were strangely shaped, and there were bursts of strong medicinal fragrance coming out of each furnace.

Hua Yan had some herbal knowledge with the Jade Face God in the past, but here, whether the herbs in this room, whether they were piled up in the corner of the house or boiled in a pot, she could only recognize two or three of them at most.

The strong medicinal fragrance turned into a cloud of steam, filling the room, like a mist, adding to the mystery of the room.

Suddenly, a man in black walked in step by step and walked into the fog. He was the man in black who had just disappeared on the stairs.

His steps are light, and his eyes are more cunning, more sinister, and more nimble than those of a cat.

Huayan stared at him and did not speak.

The man in black stood in front of the painted face, his eyes flashing with a sly light, and the corners of his mouth with a sly smile. "The girl's fame shocked the world, and today she will finally see her old decay. The girl's beauty is unparalleled in the world, and a song that captures the soul makes the wolf and beast helpless, and it really deserves its name! Hahaha......"

"You're the owner of this inn, ghost?" Hua Yan asked calmly.

The ghost head looked at Huayan with a complicated look and nodded, "Not bad." ”

"If you're a pharmacy, why are you signing the inn?" Hua Yan took advantage of the gap in the conversation to plan what happened next.

The ghost laughed a few times, seemed to see the mind of the painting, and said evilly: "That's because I do have guests here." ”

Hua Yan didn't make a sound, thinking questioningly about his words. It's playing tricks again!

The ghost hunched his back, trembling to one of the stoves, picked up the wooden spoon and stirred it, and suddenly paused, "The girl is here to get medicine, right?" ”

"Since you know everything, then put forward the conditions, how many silver taels do you need to give me the antidote?" Hua Yan asked calmly, she knew that this person was not easy to deal with.

The ghost head turned around questioningly, opened a pair of bloodshot eyes and asked, "How many silver taels?" ”

Hua Yan nodded slightly, "The price is yours." ”

The ghost head suddenly laughed sharply twice, with a disdainful smile on his face. "My medicine is a priceless treasure, of course it needs to be exchanged for the same thing, and the words on the stone plaque outside the door are so big, didn't the girl see it?"

Hua Yan couldn't stand the mysterious behavior of this ghost head god anymore, and said a little angrily: "What do you want, just say it directly!" ”

The ghost head suddenly turned around and said indignantly: "What the girl is thinking, the old man knows it very well. Are you questioning the old man? But I want to say that my medicine is absolutely worthy of the title of priceless! Do you know what this medicine is made of? The human heart, liver, spleen and lungs are the key to this medicine. To refine this grain, it takes ten hearts and livers. Ten people's lives, in exchange for one life, do you think I want a high price? ”

Hua Yan's whole body was shocked, and she retreated to the corner tightly, she raised her eyes, and said coldly: "You said that this medicine is made from the five internal organs of people?" ”

Seeing the frightened appearance of Huayan, the ghost head smiled with satisfaction, he turned around and stirred the medicine jar calmly, and said lightly: "Didn't I tell you, I do have people living here, but they are dead people." ”

Painting his face expressionless, he slowly raised the jade flute, pointed at the ghost head and said, "Could it be that all the people in this city have been killed by you?!" ”

The ghost head smiled contemptuously: "The girl doesn't have to be angry, and she doesn't need to kill her, if she moves, the old man's hands and feet are not light or heavy, and it will be a sin to hurt the girl." I didn't kill them, they exchanged them with me voluntarily. Priceless treasures, when exchanged for priceless things, they used the most precious things to exchange with me, the fairest. ”

After listening to it, he suddenly saw the boiling thing in the pot, and a ripe heart lay on the surface of the water! Only then did she realize that in addition to the strong smell of medicinal herbs, there was also a smell of blood in the air.

Suddenly, she refluxed acid in her mouth, couldn't stop the tumbling in her stomach, and retched.

The ghost head smiled happily, he stopped what he was doing, carefully took out a small bottle of medicine jar from his arms, and displayed it in front of Hua Yan. "That's the antidote you want. This antidote is called 'only medicine', which can cure the world's strange poisons and prolong life. ”

"Poison?!" The painting came back to his senses from his astonishment.

The ghost head smiled: "This unique medicine is not another poison, but a unique treasure medicine in the world!" All the people in Peicheng have been poisoned, don't they need this antidote? ”

Yes, the antidote, Dad and the people of the city are still waiting for her! Her eyes were drawn to the small jar, and she reached out and walked slowly towards the ghost's head.

The ghost head suddenly hugged the medicine jar tightly in his arms, and said with an evil smile: "Did the girl think about exchanging something with me?" ”

Hua Yan stopped moving in amazement, frowned and asked, "You, what do you want?" ”

The ghost head looked up and down the painting face with malicious intentions, and suddenly said mysteriously: "I only want the brightest and most precious thing on you." ”

Hua Yan was a little stunned by the evil eyes of the ghost head, and now he was firmly trapped here, and it was impossible to fight him, in case he annoyed him, it would be worth the loss.

But when she thought of her father and the helpless orphan women in Peicheng, the poor people, a strong sense of mission made her resolutely hand over her life, she stepped forward and said calmly: "You want my life, I can give it to you, but you must give me the antidote first, I must see with my own eyes that they are safe and sound." ”

The ghost head suddenly shook his head desperately and said, "No, no, no, the old man doesn't want the girl's life." Even for the sake of Taoyuan, the old man has to give a preferential price. ”

Hua Yan was surprised: "Then what do you want?!" ”

The ghost head looked at the painting greedily further, full of excitement, and stepped forward step by step and said, "I only want the brightest, purest, and most precious eyes on the girl's body!" ”
