Chapter 46: A Strange Place
readx;“ This tree is called Kuko Ghost Wood, which is named after the fact that this tree bears only nine fruits in its lifetime. The nine fruits of the Nine Sons Ghost Tree www.biquge.info grow irregularly, and not necessarily every tree can bear the same kind of fruit, nor does it necessarily mean that every tree can produce different fruits. But in total, there are only nine kinds of Nine Sons Ghost Fruit -- the Red Flame Fruit that burns the body and dies after burning the body, the Amber Fruit that is sealed in fat and dies, the Golden Fruit that turns into hardware and dies, the Pure Fruit that becomes the Nine Sons Ghost Wood itself, the Qing Ming Fruit that is disheartened and desperate to death, the Blue Spirit Fruit that destroys the meridians after seven days, the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit that festers all over the body and dies, the Forgetting Fruit that loses all memory, and the Demon Heavenly Fruit that completely loses one's mind. ”
"It's a strange tree, every time a creature approaches, it turns from withering to glory, and when the fruit it bears falls off, it quickly turns from prosperity to withering. Their lifespan is nine withering, which means that they have an infinite lifespan when no creatures are approaching here, and if nine groups of creatures pass by here at different times in a single day, they will have a lifespan of less than a day. ”
"When the Nine Devil Fruit bears fruit, if no one picks it when the Nine Ghost Tree withered, it will naturally fall off and turn into dust and soil. There is only one kind of fruit, and after it falls, not only will it not turn into dust, but it will grow into a new Nine Son Ghost Tree, and that is the fruit of life. The fruits that fall to the ground will grow into bare trees after nine days. ”
"Eating these fruits in whole will make the eater, whether it is a cow, a ghost, a snake, or a god, fall into a place of no return. In comparison, the Blue Spirit Fruit is considered the mildest, but it is also the most cruel. I've seen some guys who didn't kill themselves after seven days of eating the Blue Spirit Fruit, their souls have been split, and they have become useless people who can't practice martial arts, and they are confused all day long, and some have even become fools. So I wish you all the best, because in seven days you will be like them." ”
Haoyan was lying on a big rock with his arms on his pillow, still cross-legged, and looked lazily at Ji Lin who was flying in the forest to pick the Nine Sons Ghost Fruit, even though he knew that Ji Lin didn't have the leisure to pay attention to his teasing in the second half of the sentence at the moment.
While listening to Haoyan's introduction to the Nine Devil Wood and the Nine Devil Fruit, Ji Lin squatted on the thick branch of the tree and scooped up the branch with his hand to find the Nine Devil Fruit. Every time he plucked one, he would fly to another tree to look for it, and the cycle would go on and on. The bored Haoyan simply closed his eyes and fell asleep, he didn't want to think about why Ji Lin did this anymore.
In this area, the Nine Sons Ghost Wood has formed a forest of considerable scale. Because this place is a place where cultists must pass through and exit, and no one wants to touch these "ghost" fruits on the tree, these nine ghost fruits that no one wants to pick will naturally fall off, and the raw fruits in them will continue to grow into new nine ghost trees. Since the cult moved here, the scope of the Nine Sons Ghost Wood has continued to expand, one and ten, ten and hundred, and hundreds and thousands.
Thinking that no matter whether he picks it or not, these fruits will turn into a part of this gray desert, Ji Lin is not polite, picking them one by one; and in line with the principle of "leaving the green mountains and not worrying about no firewood", he did not let these nine ghost trees die, leaving only the fruits, only picking about nine, and letting them stay on the trees.
"Huh?" he came to a ghost tree that was particularly luxuriant, he made sure that he did not patronize this tree, but he rummaged in it for a long time, and he was stunned that he did not find the shadow of half of the Nine Sons Ghost Fruit. Just as he was about to leave, he inadvertently noticed a clue - a small part of the leaves that were put together seemed to be twisted, which was quite awkward compared to the surrounding leaves.
He tried to reach out and touch it, but he touched something cold and invisible. I tried to figure out the shape of this thing again, and it was exactly the same as the shape of the Nine Sons Ghost Fruit. He grabbed the cold object firmly and took it out, and examined it carefully: it was a transparent fruit, which Haoyan had never mentioned.
After just a few glances, he stuffed the nameless transparent Nine Sons Ghost Fruit into his bag again, and then continued to look for the target. At this moment, he seems to be possessed by the wind, and he is happy to pick fruits. Such a nine-twenty-seven nine-twenty-seven trees withered rapidly, leaving less than one-seventh of them. When all that was left was fruit, Ji Lin finally stopped the looting. Letting a dense forest wither, he didn't seem guilty of conscience.
"It's finally all right, let's hurry up and get on the road, it's been a long time delay. Seeing Ji Lin coming over, Haoyan turned up from the stone like an amnesty, urging him to hurry up and go on the road with him.
Walking down this road that does not grow grass, a figure finally appeared, oh no, it was the figure of a demon and a monster. In front of him was a settlement of some monsters, Haoyan continued to walk forward without looking, but he was introducing Ji Lin: "These are the foreign sects of this sect, and they live according to race outside the evil county, forming these tribes. The Evil Evil County is where the Dark Moon Evil Luo Hall is located. ”
He was also kind enough to let Ji Lin walk around to understand the local customs. However, he was still haunted by Ji Lin's fact that he had just eaten the blue spirit fruit, and he couldn't figure it out: he had clearly reminded this kid that the fruit here could not be eaten casually, why did this kid still eat the fruit? Is he still afraid that this sect will not succeed in using him? Or is it that he is so disheartened and wants to kill himself when he thinks that he has become like this?
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't imagine that Ji Lin's eating of the Blue Spirit Fruit was just an accident - the temptation of this fruit was too strong, and he was greedy for a while, so he accidentally ate it, and he couldn't help himself after taking a bite. And because of the second demonization, the poor ** in his heart was magnified, and there was appetite among them.
The Immortal Cult is divided into two major sects, the Immortal Sect and the Demon Sect. Among them, the Immortal Sect is divided into two major sects: the Ghoul Sect and the Phantom Spirit Sect, and the Evil Demon Sect is divided into the Netherworld Hall, the Rakshasa Hall and the Demon Demon Hall. Ji Lin, who is currently a son of the Qing Hades clan, will be taken to the Netherworld City where the Netherworld Hall is located by Haoyan.
The scale of Netherworld is not very large, probably about the same as Liuhe County. As soon as you enter the city, you can see many red-haired and red-eyed Netherworld members roaming the streets. These red-haired and red-eyed guys Ji Lin heard Ji Chuan say that they were another clan of the Netherworld-the Red Clan. However, in Ji Lin's opinion, Ji Chuan is still wrong, there are not many Chiyou, and they are not ranger-like existences, they are all immortal cults, and they live and work in peace and contentment like mustard seeds in Nancheng, and their livelihood is good.
These Chi Yu Haoyan, who were wandering the streets, came in with a kid who looked like a member of the Qing Hades clan, and they all looked at this kid from another race with curious expressions. It is worth mentioning that Ji Lin looked at the neighborhoods of the Netherworld along the street, and found that the houses and shops here are very different from those in the southern city, and even the style is completely different: the houses here are all made of mud, the roof is a simple roof paved with thatch, the door is a single wooden door, and the window is a square hole in the mud wall, and then the square hole is covered with colorful cloth curtains from the inside; some houses also have a pergola, which is a shop, but these shops do not hang plaques on the door, but open the door, and it is clear what they are selling and doing inside.
The streets of Netherworld are not paved with stone bricks, but natural land, but the land is well maintained. The inhabitants here are also dressed like Ji Lin has never seen: Chiyou people have hair of different lengths, women Chiyou wear long hair, male Chiyou either has short hair or ties up long hair at the end; many men wear scarves or cloaks, the tail of the scarf is long and the cape is long to the ground, and the women are tied with colorful silk scarves; they are all wearing brizi, leather coats, different from the silk or brown fur that Ji Lin saw; they wear trousers that are wide and narrow, women mostly wear long skirts, some women wear leather skirts, and some wear pants like men, no one wraps any leggings, and no one pulls up the trouser legs;
Many of them wear cloth shoes, straw sandals, leather boots, and some do not wear shoes at all, and walk on the ground with bare feet. There are also some naked, shirtless, tattooed, cloaked, and some shrouded in hooded robes.
They came to the place called "Central Square" by the Red Shadows, where there are more Red Quiet than on the street, this place called "Central Square" is surrounded by many benches, and in the middle there is a stone sculpture of a middle-aged man with the head of a hedgehog who looks arrogant, riding on the back of something like a horse not like a horse, like a sheep and not a sheep, holding a long sword like a long needle in his hand, and his cloak fluttering.
"I rarely come to this place, these red shadows give me an awkward feeling, and it is rare to send you back this time. You have to live here, I'll take you to a place that you can accept, there is only one Qing Hades living here, it's an old man, you have to live under the same roof as this old man. Haoyan put his hand in his sleeve and said to Ji Lin lightly. Ji Lin also said "um" lightly.
"Yo, Qing Mingzai!" At this time, a Chi You, who was about the same age as Ji Lin, stepped forward with a smile on his face, waved his hand and made a strange gesture, greeted the two, and then put his hand into the trouser pocket of their strange pants, looking like a child.
He staggered to Ji Lin, stretched out his right hand, and smiled with a smile on his face: "It's nice to meet you, friend, my name is Anji." Let's shake hands!"
Ji Lin looked at him blankly, obviously not understanding what the hell he was doing. Haoyan reminded him on the side: "This is the etiquette of the Chiyou Clan, according to their words, it is a way of 'greeting', which is equivalent to our actions." Whichever hand he throws out, you just respond with your hand. ”
Ji Lin nodded, so he stretched out his right hand and shook it with the young man named "Anji". Suddenly, a piercing pain came from his right hand, and when he looked up, Angie smiled, as if he didn't know anything. Not far behind Anji, a few young people dressed up in fancy clothes secretly looked at this side, all with evil smiles on their faces, and whispered:
"An's guitar is playing tricks on people again. What is he using this time? Who of you knows?"
"It seems to be a new gadget he has recently made, and he told me that it's called 'Zha De Shuang'. ”
"Why don't I see that kid is moving?"
"Well, whatever, let's watch first. ”
Ji Lin looked at Anji like this, without even frowning, and quickly transmitted the Xuanming Cold Ink (Xuanling Cold Ink that was successfully fused with the Netherworld Qi) from the Tianchi acupoint on the right through the Hand Yin Pericardial Sutra to the Zhongchong acupoint, and pierced into Anji's hand in the form of a thin line. Anji's face changed instantly, and he wanted to withdraw his hand, but Ji Lin in front of him refused to let go - even he himself was being stung by Anji by some means.
"Oh no, Angie seems to be in trouble!"
"I saw it so early!"
"Then let's go and save the field!"
