Chapter 424: The Ghost City of Xudu
"Patriarch, where are we going now? Without nocturnal fish, we can't buy anything here. Another disciple couldn't help but say.
"Go to the night sea, only the night sea can net the night sun fish, we just passed by here." Qiurong Wanxue said.
"Hey, let's hurry up then." When Peng Zhuang heard this, he couldn't help but be extremely excited, and he couldn't wait to fly to the night sea now.
And Qiurong Wanxue is not the first time to come, and she is not in a hurry to rush to the night sea immediately, she intends to let Peng Zhuang and them open their eyes and gain more knowledge.
When they walked through a street corner, Peng Zhuang and the others saw a young man setting up a stall there to sell things, he actually used Jingbi to trade, which made Peng Zhuang couldn't help but be curious, and immediately leaned over and asked: "Didn't you use Yeyang fish for trading in the capital city, why did you actually use Jingbi, what do you sell, let me see?" He said excitedly looking at the goods on his stall.
And Peng Zhuang's excessive enthusiasm attracted the fierce eyes of this young man, he glared at Peng Zhuang, didn't want to drive people away, and said: "Lao Tzu is not a ghost, I am a human, wrong, I am a ghost clan!" β
This young man's violent reaction frightened Peng Zhuang a lot, he hurriedly opened the eyes of the sky to take a look, only to find that the other party was not a ghost, which frightened Peng Zhuang extremely embarrassed, and immediately apologized and said: "Heh, heh, heh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought you were a ghost, no, no, no, it's an obsession, it's an obsession." So saying, he ran away in dismay.
Seeing this scene, Li Qiye, who had been following the team and had not spoken, couldn't help but wonder, Peng Zhuang's group of boys didn't know much about Xudu City at all.
In fact, I don't blame Peng Zhuang for them, the Snow Shadow Ghost Clan is not a small clan. In the case of the Snow Shadow Oni. Ordinary disciples would never have had the opportunity to come to a place like Xudu City. So it's normal for them not to know about the city.
"There are a lot of people from outside who stay and do business in the city, and there are not only ghosts here, but also many young monks, who will see more people in the future." Qiurong Wanxue reminded Peng Zhuang of them.
"So that's the case, they're not afraid to live with ghosts?" One of the six young disciples couldn't help but say with some creepy.
Think about it, the residents of the entire capital city are lifeless obsessions, and living in such a place is no different from the real ghost town where you live, and the entire ancient city is full of ghosts. It's creepy to think about.
"In the city of the city, as long as you don't mess with them, the ghosts of the city won't come to provoke you. It's best not to mess with them, there's no good end to being an enemy of ghosts in the city! Qiurong Wanxue reminded them a few times.
In fact, Qiurong Wanxue is right, the people who come to Xudu City either come to see the excitement or come to seek wealth, they don't need to be enemies with ghosts at all, more often, they need to trade with the ghosts of Xudu City. Therefore, the people who come to the capital city are not willing to be enemies of ghosts. Or conflict with ghosts.
In the city of Xudu, if you are an enemy of ghosts, I am afraid that it will be difficult to leave the city alive.
Qiurong Wanxue took Peng Zhuang and the six of them and Li Qiye to walk and watch, and finally it took two full days to reach their destination, Yehai.
If you want to have a harvest when you enter the city, then the first stop must be the Night Sea. Because the common currency of the capital city is not the essence of the outside world, but the night sun fish, and the night sun fish is only available in the night sea.
The Night Sea is more of a lake than a sea, in fact, it is a very large lake, and many people will be creepy when standing in front of the Night Sea.
The sea in front of you is actually black, and when you stand on the edge of the night sea and look at the whole night sea, it will make people feel gloomy, and the whole night sea is like a huge evil ghost opening its bloody mouth, which can swallow people at any time.
"Night Sea, I'm here, let's rush." As soon as they saw the night sea, Peng Zhuang and his six young disciples were not only not afraid, but they were extremely excited, especially Peng Zhuang, who couldn't wait to jump into the sea now to catch the night sun fish.
"Don't mess around." Qiurong Wanxue scolded Peng Zhuang and the six of them, and said in a deep voice: "Once you step into the night sea, you will never be able to get out again, and there will be no place to die." β
Hearing the patriarch's words, Peng Zhuang and several of them were taken aback, and immediately stopped their steps, and couldn't help but be terrified, and a disciple couldn't help but say, "Really? β
"The Night Sea is a dangerous place, and anyone who steps into the sea will die without a place to be buried, and they will never be able to get out again, even if they are great sages." Qiu Yixue solemnly warned Peng Zhuang and a few of them.
"Then how do we go about hunting the night sun fish?" Peng Zhuang couldn't help asking.
"Look for a ferryboat, only a ferryboat can enter the night sea." Qiurong Wanxue said: "If you don't have a ferry boat to enter the night sea, you are killing yourself. β
"Thereβ" A disciple had sharp eyes and immediately saw a small boat parked on the seashore, but before they could react, they saw a dozen young men riding this small boat into the vast night sea.
Qiurong Wanxue took several of them to look for the ferryboat, but they found several ferries in a row, but they were all preempted and rented away.
Each ferryboat has a ferryman in charge, but this makes Peng Zhuang and them very strange, the ferryman looks different from the other ghosts in the city, the ferryman is a person with a body, and his body even exudes a faint blood qi.
"Is the ferryman a human or a ghost?" When looking at the ferryman, Peng Zhuang and the others couldn't help but feel a little creepy, each of them looked anciently dressed, a bit like an ancient corpse crawling out of the tomb, especially the pair of eyes, full of ghostly energy, which made people feel creepy.
"No one knows that the ferryman has always been here to sail the boat, and that the ferryman can only drive the ferryman." Qiurong Wanxue shook her head and said.
"Is the ferryman like the ghost of the capital city? Are you not allowed to leave the city? A disciple couldn't help but ask when he saw that there was a faint blood qi on the ferryman's body.
"Not necessarily." Li Qiye, who has always been like a good baby and doesn't speak, shook his head with a smile and said, "There are also legends that there have been ferrymen who have left and become invincible. β
"Leaving the city?" This disciple couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said, "Really? β
Qiurong Wanxue glanced at Li Qiye and said, "This is just a legend, this envoy is the ancestor of the Underworld, but this is only limited to legends. β
"I've heard this legend." Peng Zhuang slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "I'm talking about the Immortal Emperor of the Underworld!" There is a legend that the Immortal Emperor of the Underworld is from the city of Xudu, and it is very likely that he is a ferryman! β
"It's the Immortal Emperor of the Underworld." Qiurong Wanxue said: "But, this is just a legend, Hades Duze has never admitted such a statement, and besides, the ferryman of the Night Sea cannot leave here, and I have never heard of a ferryman leaving the Night Sea!" β
There are many legends about the origin of the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Emperor, and there are two that are more widely spread, one believes that the Immortal Emperor is a ghost on the Styx, and the other legend believes that the Immortal Emperor is from the night sea of the capital city.
This legend believes that the Immortal Emperor was a ferryman on the night sea, and later had an amazing adventure, and actually changed from a dead person to a living person, and since then he got rid of the night sea, left the city of Xudu, and finally became an invincible immortal emperor.
Whether it is the legend that the Immortal Emperor of the Underworld comes from the River Styx, or the legend of the Night Sea, this is just a legend and has not been verified in any way, and as the inheritance of the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Emperor, the Immortal Emperor of the Underworld, he even denied this statement.
In later generations, more people believed that the Immortal Emperor was born in the ghost clan, and this was indeed recognized by many people in the era of the Immortal Emperor.
Qiurong Wanxue took Li Qiye and they even found several ferries and were preempted, Qiurong Wanxue groaned for a while, glanced at Li Qiye, and then said: "Li Daoyou, you help me take a look at them, I'll go look for the ferryboat." β
Compared with Peng Zhuang and a few of their young disciples who were reckless in their work, Li Qiye, who looked like a good baby, was more trusting, he gave people a sense of stability, so Qiurong Wanxue would temporarily entrust Li Qiye.
Li Qiye said with a smile: "Don't worry, patriarch, everyone is waiting for you to come back here." This was an opportunity for him, and he just happened to ask Peng Zhuang about the first murderous grave.
Qiurong Wanxue glanced at Li Qiye, and finally ordered Peng Zhuang and a few of them, and then hurriedly went to find the ferry.
When Qiurong Wanxue left, Li Qiye asked Peng Zhuang and said, "Brother Peng, what was the giant hand you said about at that time in the dark sky?" β
"Brother Li is very interested in this matter." The other disciple said with a smile. They don't have any bad feelings towards Li Qiye, on the contrary, they have a lot of good feelings for Li Qiye.
"That day, it suddenly got dark and frightened me, so now I hear Brother Peng say that there is a giant hand, so I can't help but be full of interest." Li Qiye was at ease and said with a smile.
"Speaking of this, I was also frightened, I heard that the patriarch and the elders immediately went to the ancestral land, for fear that something big would happen." At the mention of this, the other five disciples couldn't help but be interested, and they started talking nonsense.
"The moment it got dark, I did see a giant hand, but it was just for a moment, and it was definitely not my eyes." Peng Zhuang said confidently.
In fact, few people believed Peng Zhuang's words, because only Peng Zhuang saw the giant hand, and in fact, Peng Zhuang happened to be looking at the place of the first murderous grave at that time.
"What kind of giant hand is that?" Li Qiye said with great interest.
"This, how to say this, it is a very big hand, it seems that it has its own heaven and earth, that hand is like a starry sky, or a world, there are stars, there is the sun and the moon, when it suddenly appears, it seems that this giant hand is going to change our sky......" Peng Zhuang thought carefully about the events of the day. (To be continued......)
