Chapter 9: The Gray Domain
The alley can't stay for long, and now it has become a moving treasure in the eyes of countless people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is only one place to escape. But it's not a good time to go out either. He's going to hide here first, waiting for the best time.
The alleys are gloomy. In this dark waiting, Lin Mu reached out and took out the white spirit ginseng in his arms.
The appearance is as white as jade, and it feels a little 'bright' in the dark. It feels as tender as a girl's jade skin. It exudes a fragrant and alluring medicinal fragrance.
This white porcelain-like spiritual ginseng is probably one of those stolen elixirs.
With this strain alone, it is worth going to several Lin Mu. What's more, there are many elixirs that are many times better than they are, in his 'hands'. You can imagine how many people are going crazy about it.
But just looking at it, Lin Mu grinned.
He was still poor before, but now in addition to this elixir that does not know the value of the elixir, there is also his head worth twenty taels of gold. You can be considered a little rich man.
But then he turned his head and thought of the silver coins hidden under the floor tiles. Lin Mu was very painful again. I secretly made up my mind that I should try to use things first or bring them with me in the future. If you keep it, you may not be your own.
"I hope the little fat man can make good use of these things!"
In the heartache, I can only silently bless the little fat man. Try not to think about those things. Pay attention to the white ginseng in front of you.
Wanted outside said that a lot of herbs were lost. Where is the rest of the elixir? I guess the person who designed it knows.
"I guess that man is trying to cover up his theft by fake me. Hmph, one day, it will make him pay!"
"But this plant is in my hands, even if it is wanted, it is worth it. ”
Lin Mu smiled lightly. Tear off a small tendril of white ginseng. Keep in your mouth. Lin Mu planned to use it to quench his hunger. The elixir is full of spiritual energy, and it is quite useful to replenish energy.
The medicinal effect of the ginseng must also be strong, so I don't dare to eat more. There are already a lot of ginseng roots. But it's still more than he imagined!
There is no melt-in-your-mouth. But there is a refreshing fragrance that penetrates the heart and lungs. Those fragrant qi combined with the warm current of Jinye as if it turned into substance, flowed into Lin Mu's stomach, and then invaded the veins. Circulate Lin Mu's whole body. Dilates pores all over the body.
"Huh?"
Lin Mu was surprised. As the roots melted, they were absorbed. Lin Mu's qi and blood were obviously nourished. Although it can't make the hunger in the stomach go away. But a hint of flushing slowly appeared on Ben's somewhat cold and white body. The body is no longer weak and weak. The broken ribs don't seem to sting so much. numb.
It was as if he was going to eat some more. The injury will be healed, and your own strength will also be improved a lot!
In fact, it is not surprising that ginseng is used to nourish qi and replenish blood. Needless to say, ginseng is not to mention. And a good healing effect.
And Lin Mu didn't quench his body long ago. The body that was not very good became very empty. It's just that normal people can't feel it themselves.
Most people will make up for a big meal and recuperate after the first quenching of the body. But Lin Mu is poor, reluctant to spend money, and doesn't have that cognition. After all, it's hard to perceive what your body needs.
But now this trace of ginseng goes on. Lin Mu's blood qi was greatly nourished. Except that there was still some pain in my chest. Now I feel that the quenching section is a lot more solid. It seems that it is not far from the impact of the second quenching body.
Lin Mu is not a fool, and he immediately figured out what his body needs. And what to do. That is to replenish the blood and qi. This ginseng is just right.
Not now, though. It is enough to take this ginseng today. Tonic is heavier than mild. More is more than it hurts. And he had to find a safe place first.
Time passed in silence, and it wasn't long before it was nearly dusk. It is estimated that many people in the city have already looked for him one by one in various alleys.
I had already thought about where to go and how to get there. Lin Mu secretly leaned out of the alley.
There was no one around. Put on a velvet hat and walk out into the street in a few steps. At this time, there were not many people on the street. And most of them are in a hurry.
Snowy nights will be silent. It was so quiet that he would stand out if he walked in the night. So he chose to come out at dusk.
Or maybe it's because you're in a hurry to get home for dinner. At dusk, most of the lines are in a hurry. The weather is also starting to get colder, and almost everyone chooses to wear a velvet hat. It also has a weak light at dusk. It is not easy to be recognized, so it is the best time for Lin Mu to come out.
Walking down the street, some of the shops have closed their doors. Lin Mu's wanted warrants were also hung on some conspicuous walls. But it just occupies an inconspicuous place on these walls. It's as if his wanted notice didn't attract much attention. But Lin Mu knew that if he was found now, countless people would come and snatch his head.
The power of twenty taels of gold is greater than imagined! What's more, the twenty taels of gold in exchange are only the head of a weak young man. This is tantamount to picking up for some.
Looking at the sky in the distance, white smoke wafted from the rooftop, which was mostly dyed golden by the setting sun. The smell of red-hot pine and cooked food permeated the city. As if urging hungry people to hurry home.
Lin Mu buried his head and walked quickly. But it won't be very conspicuous. Went a long way. No one on the road was suspicious or tracked either. Even Lin Mu took out a few copper plates and bought some dry food from a roadside stall. Then he continued on his way.
For a long time, the place where Lin Mu walked gradually became desolate. The smoke gradually decreased, and from time to time there were a few dilapidated houses that seemed untended at first glance, jagged among the rows of houses.
Most of the people I met were elderly. Or squatting in front of the threshold, holding the pole in his thin hand and smoking a puff of cigarettes, before spitting out the smoke bubbles for a long time. Or look into the distance, the black eyes set on the wrinkled face, silent. Even if Lin Mu walked by, it didn't cause them to take a look. I don't know what I'm thinking.
Walking and walking, people are no longer seen. The house is also getting more and more dilapidated. Many have collapsed for the most part. There are even some that have less than half of the wall exposed to the snow. It also seems to be getting colder. There was no one in the back section, and wisps of gray mist were floating from time to time, and Lin Mu carefully avoided it. I almost ran into it several times. He was covered in a cold sweat.
Walked a little further. A wall looms in the distance. But there was a gray area between the wall and Lin Mu. It's a strange place that exists with boundaries!
As far as the eye can see, this area is several hundred meters in circumference.
The two sides are like two different worlds, and there seems to be a thin line separating them.
On one side is the twilight sky of silver snow, and although the house is broken, it is also like that. It's just that there are fewer people, and the point is a bit bleak. But after all, you can still feel a little afterglow.
On the other side, there seemed to be a gray fog. Seeing through the gray fog is a little blurry. The houses inside look like woods ravaged by the wind. It's messy, and it's corroded and tattered. You can see that there are many deep alleys, like black holes, black, cold and cold. The snow on the ground was also stained gray and black as if it had been splashed with ink. Although no one cleaned it, it was only a black, thin layer, not as thick as the outside. Some blackened human skulls or scattered skeletons can also be faintly seen......
It looks very weird and eerie. Extremely evil, just like the legendary ghost town of Yudu. It's terrifying.
This is a special place in Snow Wolf City, the Gray Domain
Why there is such a strange place, Lin Mu is not clear. There are several versions of the legend.
One of them said more mysteriously, saying that many years ago, the ancient city of Snow Wolf City ushered in an uninvited guest. It was a powerful demon like a fairy. Plague the people here. Bloodthirsty, brutal, and bloody. Kill anyone you see. Poison the living. No one can stop you. Rivers of blood flowed and wails were everywhere.
Later, however, his actions annoyed a powerful 'immortal' in the city. The immortals appear and fight with them. After paying a terrible price, it was barely wiped out here.
But this demon is so angry that he turns into a powerful demon after death. Shrouded in the area. It never goes away. Not even the immortals can dispel it. It can only be sealed within this area.
However, there is inevitably some spillover. And ordinary people are either dead or crazy when they touch it. Even if it is a martial artist who has achieved cultivation, he does not dare to touch the slightest.
Over time, there were not many people left in the vicinity of this area, or they were eroded and died by these demonic energy, or moved away from other parts of the city, or disappeared in the years.
Up to now, only a few descendants of the people who guarded the homeland remained, but only in a very peripheral place, and only on certain days, they came to worship and guard for a few days and left.
Later, some old people who were looking for tranquility came here. Find a good house or two and tidy it up. And he stopped. Spend the rest of your life.
But no matter who it is, in such an area close to Lin Mu, they are reluctant to get close. Avoid it. Not to mention going inside the gray mist.
In fact, Lin Mu came to this place when he was wandering when he was a child. It's just that he didn't understand it at the time, and only later did he know the horrors of this place.
He's not here to get inside. Instead, I wanted to find a room around here to hide. Ordinary people don't come to this cursed place, even if they know he's around here. Presumably, many people will choose to give up.
Although there will still be people who will come to arrest him. And those who dare to come here to make head money will not be weak. Any one of them will not be dealt with by Lin Mu. And most likely, those hunters who lick blood on the tip of their knives.
However, at least Lin Mu will not be in danger for a short time. You don't have to be chased around the city.
While it's still dark. Be careful to avoid the gray fog. Lin Mu walked towards a decent row of houses. I'm going to pick a room to shelter from the snow and gray fog. If there is no suitable shelter here. I'm afraid that before anyone can arrest him, Lin Mu will have to explain here tonight.
However, I just looked for a room that looked relatively intact, and when I pushed the door in. Lin Mu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he hurriedly jumped back. An extremely thin sword light flickered in front of his eyes.
