Volume 1, Ming Chronicle Eighty-seven, Return to Blackwater City
Two months passed in a hurry, a person and a cat looked back at the courtyard, and felt very reluctant, when can I live quietly like this, I want to eat, I want to drink, and there is no longer that trouble.
In Blackwater City, there are very few pedestrians, and they are all in a hurry, and when they see strangers, they all hurriedly avoid them, as if they will be devoured if they are slow for a while.
It's still the inn, Li Shi walked in, and the tables and chairs in the lobby were placed randomly, although it was a little messy, but it was quite clean.
is still the shopkeeper with a blessed face, but now he looks tired, looks at him, and says listlessly: "Is the guest officer staying or eating?" ”
"Eat and stay in a hotel." Seeing that he was not very enthusiastic, he didn't care in his heart, but he wondered why this city was so ruined, and it was not as good as once.
Let the food be delivered to the room, and Li Shi went upstairs.
Pushing open the door, Pig Pig jumped out, jumped on the bed and played with the tassels on the bed curtain, and said casually: "Li Shi, don't you feel the breath of Netherworld Dafa?" ”
"Of course there is, otherwise how would I come back to Blackwater City." As he spoke, there was a knock on the door.
The shopkeeper walked into the room with a pot of hot tea and put the teapot on the table: "The guest officer has a little rest, and the meal will arrive soon." Then he turned and walked out of the room.
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to bring it to the door, his face changed, he thought about it and pushed the door in, and said softly: "The guest officer tries to go out as little as possible at night, the city has not been peaceful recently, and if you hear any noise, you should quickly hide." ”
Hearing this, Li Shi turned his head and rewarded him with a silver ingot, and the shopkeeper swept away his decadent look, and went downstairs with a thousand thanks.
The night was deep, and he sat cross-legged on the bed in the dark room, opened his eyes, and two cold stars flashed in the night: "It's really not peaceful there, and your conscience has been eaten by dogs?" As he spoke, the figure dissipated into the room.
Under the courtyard in the west of the city, the huge basement was full of people, shouting and shouting, the smell of sweat mixed with inferior rouge was extremely choking, and there were bursts of fox stench, which made people feel sick.
All kinds of people gathered in front of the gambling tables, with their chests and sleeves rolled up, their faces flushed, and their expressions were excited. There are also some who sit in the distance, someone waiting, drinking tea, and quietly watching everything in front of them.
In the inner room of the casino, several men in black are sitting around a large table, each with a grimace mask on their chests, and the table is full of spirits and delicacies.
A black-clothed man picked up the wine glass in front of him: "Boss, thanks to you for thinking of this method, now these people are automatically gathered in this casino, and we can go to a big kill later to absorb the essence blood and aura." ”
It turned out that there were many disasters in this Blackwater City, and some people spread the news that it was safe in this casino, and after the operation of the Grimace Man, it was indeed extremely safe here.
So it was spread ten, ten to hundred, and after a few days, countless people regarded this place as a refuge, and paid money to come in, hoping to survive, but they knew that this was the real ghost gate.
That grimace boss is also shrewd, in this way, not only can he make a lot of money, but when there are enough people, he can also cultivate that Netherworld Dafa, which is really a good abacus for ten thousand profits.
The men in black ate and drank to their heart's content, put on grimace masks, looked at each other and smiled, and walked out of the inner room and went straight to the front hall.
In the casino, dozens of ghost-faced people laughed and rushed into the hall, the black flames of their hands rose, exuding a breathtaking momentum, and the ghost-faced leader shouted: "Not bad, yes, there is enough blood food, now everyone can improve a lot of strength." ”
With a wave of his hand, a black spiritual power flew out, rolling a stout gambler in front of him, and the black flame of his palm rose and was imprinted on the top of his head.
In the brightly lit hall, everyone saw with their own eyes that the strong man was like a balloon that had been punctured. Screams rang out, and the crowd fled in all directions.
The silver light flashed, and the thunder resounded throughout the hall, and everyone was startled by the thunder, and they all looked at a cyan figure in the middle of the hall.
"It's the Green Emperor, it's the Green Emperor, we have been saved." I don't know who shouted this, but I saw a blue light flash in the hall, and dozens of grimaces stood motionless in an instant.
Li Shi frowned: "Taihuamen?" It shouldn't be! Flashes of lightning flashed, and the Grimace turned to ashes with screams.
The people in the hall cheered: "Thank you, Lord Qingdi, for saving your life." ”
Looking at the people who fell to the ground, the spiritual sense swept over the casino, and a clear voice came: "Gambling hurts yourself and others, and the casino is a dark world, I hope you don't set foot here again." ”
"They are the demons in Blackwater City, and now that the city is safe, you can go home." After saying that, he flashed out of the casino and went straight to Tianwu City.
In the memory of the grimace people, there are also many people in Tianwu City who are collecting essence blood, but they don't know if they can catch up with it, and they are a little faster when they think of it.
"Thank you Emperor Qing, we will never come again." When they looked up, they found that the figure was long gone, and everyone hurried out of the hall, breathing in the fresh air, and happily returning to their respective homes.
In Tianwu City, the same scene was staged, when Li Shi arrived, several people had already been poisoned, and he was relieved to search for the soul, fortunately there were only these two cities.
These people are all under the orders of Taihuamen in their memories, but hasn't Taihuamen long since disappeared?
"What do you think, it's not far away, wouldn't it be clear if you just went there?" Piggy jumped up on his shoulder as he spoke, and his two little paws made his hair messy like a chicken coop.
"Stinky cat, you come down for me, go and go, don't pull my hair anymore." As he spoke, he pulled her off, but there were still a few strands of hair on those paws, and he bared his teeth and cracked his mouth in pain.
The morning glow in the sky reflected the entire Taihua Mountains, the slightest mist rose from the mountains, the birdsong was endless, and a burst of ape cry was heard from time to time.
Xunguang stopped in front of the mountain, the original Taihua Mountain Gate had long been destroyed by him, and now the ruins were covered with green trees, and the spiritual sense swept by, and Li Shi's face changed.
In the depths of the empty mountain, there are piles of dry bones, which are the sins created by the Taihua Gate before. A black-clothed grimace man was sitting cross-legged on a pile of dry bones, none other than the one who seriously injured himself in front of the Xuanshui Palace.
The grimace turned his head, his eyes seemed to look at Li Shi through the stone wall, and the two of them dodged and landed on the ruins of Taihua Gate at the same time.
"It's really a place in life where we don't meet, I didn't expect us to meet again." The old voice of the grimace came.
"Who's to say it's not, it's just that I'm curious, why do you keep chasing me?"
"Guess!"
"Hehe, do you guess me?" He glanced at him with disgust. "Actually, I already knew who you were. It's just that I don't really want to say it. ”
"Oh why?" The grimace asked with interest.
Li Shi glanced at him contemptuously: "Because it's really not time to talk about it now." Because we're not ready, are we? ”
