Volume 1 Demon Country Lan Guo Chapter 36: Mistakenly Entered
Duoduo said in a low voice: "I have noticed since just now, every time we pass an alley, the surrounding scenery is very different, almost never seen, it is like arriving in a new place." ”
Liu Zisang was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Do you suspect that there is some kind of prohibition or enchantment here?" ”
Duoduo nodded: "We've lived in the town for so many years, we've been to every place, and if there's anything we don't know, it's probably that we haven't been to this place at all." ”
There was a pause: "Only enchantments can explain all this. ”
"Looks like we're in a place we shouldn't be in." Liu Zisang smiled bitterly, I'm afraid there is something unsightly hidden in these dark alleys.
Someone deliberately hid this place from being discovered, but they still let Liu Zisang and Duoduo break in by mistake.
"There's no way, so far I can only take one step at a time, if I want to get out of here, I can either find the formation eye to break it, or ......" Duoduo stopped as he said and looked at Liu Zisan.
"Either the person who set the ban took the initiative to take us away!" Liu Zisang said in a low voice.
Knowing what was going on, a man and an ape no longer ran around like headless flies, and after several explorations, they finally walked out of the black alley and went deeper.
Turning the corner, a wide street appeared in front of the two of them, which at first glance was no different from an ordinary street.
Except for some uncleaned stalls from time to time, a few tables, chairs, benches and some miscellaneous items, there is nothing special.
"Zisang, it's so dark here, why don't people here light up the lights, and they don't hang lanterns on the road." Duoduo looked at the houses on both sides, walking along the road.
"I should have slept all of them, after all, it's so late." Liu Zisang replied.
Duoduo responded, seemingly agreeing with this answer.
The clouds drifted lazily, obscuring the moonlight, and the originally maroon courtyard wall became even more gray in the night, only a faint woody fragrance filled the mouth and nose.
Liu Zisang noticed that the houses here were a little different from the ones she usually saw in the town. Most of them are made of wood and limestone called tiger striped mahogany.
This wood has a tough texture, a fine grain, and is not easy to deform. In particular, it has a mellow and rich smell, which is the best choice for building wood for houses.
However, tiger striped mahogany is expensive, a ten-year piece of mahogany costs hundreds of white demon coins, if you use it to build a house, even if it is the most ordinary, at least thousands of gold demon coins, very luxurious.
"The people who live here are either rich or expensive." Duoduo looked around and said loudly.
Liu Zisang nodded, if it weren't for the inopportune time, he would have wanted to dismantle a piece of wood and sell it.
The simple beams and columns are placed in front of the lattice wooden window, and the window is black and hollow, and nothing can be seen clearly.
Duoduo looked at the nearby window: "The doors and windows here are closed. ”
"Maybe it's a big night," Liu Zisang waved his hand, "but it's really quiet, I haven't even seen a single figure for most of the day, and I don't know where everyone here has gone." ”
I don't know how long I walked, but the tiredness gradually hit, and I yawned, and I saw a glimmer of light coming out of a door in front of me.
Duoduo suddenly lifted his spirits, and said happily: "Zisang, look, there seems to be someone in front, let's go and ask for directions." ”
The two of them walked briskly towards the light.
It seems that he forgot to close it, the door was not closed tightly, Liu Zisang pushed the door open, and unexpectedly it was not an ordinary house, but an extremely spacious and bright lobby.
The first thing that catches your eye is the delicate screens that can be seen everywhere, which subtly divide the lobby into private rooms, but do not feel oppressive, because most of the screens are hollowed out, and you can see the other side faintly through the holes.
It seems that the owner here does not care about the secrecy of the guests.
There are also all kinds of exotic flowers and plants placed around the lobby, which makes the visitors full of a very strong aroma in their mouths and noses, and makes the unaccustomed Liu Zi Sang and Duoduo want to sneeze as soon as they come in.
Liu Zisang saw at a glance that almost everyone was gathered in front of the lobby, and all kinds of shouts, cheers and exclamations came and went, and it was extremely noisy. It was as if something was grabbing their attention, so much so that no one even noticed that someone else had come in.
Liu Zisang and Duoduo glanced at each other suspiciously, thinking that the reason why there was no one on the street outside was that they were all gathered here, right?
Shaking his head, Liu Zisang threw away the doubts in his heart, whatever, anyway, I came to ask for directions, just a poor passer-by who got lost, Liu Zisang said in his heart.
Walking forward through several screens, the line of sight suddenly opened up, and Liu Zisang realized that most of the screens were located on the side, which could cleverly block most of the view from the side and the opposite corner, but if you look at it from the back or front, you can see the entire hall at a glance.
Unlike the rest of the place, there is a large platform in front of the lobby, on which many businessmen-like people display their goods, some are quite rare gems, and some are all kinds of strange monsters.
What caught the attention of the two of them the most was a sturdy ripper selling a fat pig demon.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the demon in our village in the mountains, there is nothing to eat in the mountains, come to me and say that you are willing to come out to find work, as long as the employer takes care of food and housing, and does not need to be paid!" Ripper Bear shouted.
When the guests in the audience heard that they didn't want to be paid, they were in an uproar, there is such a good thing in the world?
"Xiong Laosan, let's talk about how much it costs." One seemed interested, and spoke up.
Xiong Laosan smiled and said, "Fifteen gold demon coins!" ”
There was another commotion in the audience, fifteen gold demon coins can buy two or three ordinary hard laborers!
Liu Zisang and Duoduo were about to look at it, when the three werewolf guards holding copper spears saw that the two of them seemed to be fresh faces, and hurriedly shouted to stop the two.
"Stop! Who are you, do you have a certificate to enter Lanyin Hall? ”
Lan Yin Tang? Voucher?
Liu Zisang was slightly stunned, they didn't have any evidence, they just came to ask for directions.
Seeing that Liu Zisang Duoduo couldn't get the certificate, the leading guard's face suddenly sank slightly, and he said in an indifferent tone: "Hmph, if you can't get the certificate, then you will break in without permission, and you will be fined ten gold demon coins according to the rules, and you will be blasted out of Lanyin Hall!" ”
Liu Zisang didn't hear the second half of the sentence very clearly, but the sentence of fining ten gold demon coins was heard clearly word for word!
Ten Golden Demon Coins!
I'm obedient, Liu Zisang has never had so much money in his life. When he was the richest, he only carried two gold demon coins, one of which he picked up on the road.
As soon as he saw that the tall guards were about to make a move, a sassy voice suddenly came from behind the two.
"Liu Zisan, Duoduo? Why are you here? ”
Liu Zisang and Duoduo turned around, only to see a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a sleeveless shirt, walking towards them, the girl looked like a seven-year-old girl, very cute, but she was almost a head taller than Liu Zisang.
The most striking thing is that the girl's rather strong body can clearly see that the arms that should be two slender jade hands are as thick as thighs, and the muscles on them are bulging like fists, and the blocks are distinct. No one dared to doubt what kind of terrifying power would erupt from these muscles.
Liu Zisang and Duoduo saw the girl, but they couldn't help but say in unison.
"Little flower?! Why are you here? ”
Yes, the girl in front of her, who resembles King Kong Barbie, is Xiaohua.
"Have you forgotten Liu Zisan, my father is the captain of the guard here, he has been in poor health for the past two days, and I will take the shift." Xiaohua replied.
Xiaohua's grouper leopard clan is one of the several major demon clans in Lanqiao Town, although it is a fierce leopard clan, and its attack power is quite strong, but in recent years, the people are thin and declining, and there are only hundreds of leopards in the whole clan, and there are nearly 10,000 people in the stone spirit frog and bamboo bone insect clan, which are completely incomparable.
Therefore, the strength is a big difference compared with the two clans, not as good as these two clans, but it is still ranked first in Lanqiao Town.
The profits of the evening market in Lanqiao Town are basically divided between the two demon clans, and only the Chaoshi is left for the remaining demon clans, even so, these profits are very considerable.
Some of these shops are owned by grouper leopards, so it's not unusual for small flowers to be here.
Xiaohua Liu's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Why did you two run here." ”
Liu Zisang smiled awkwardly and scratched his head embarrassedly: "Uh...... Hehe, we're lost. ”
"What?" Xiaohua was a little speechless, there was really no one for this reason.
Xiaohua said to the leading werewolf guard: "Brother Xu Fei, these two are my friends. ”
The guard, known as Xu Fei, took a deep look at Liu Zisang and Duoduo, and shook his head helplessly; "Since it's Xiaoyu and your friend, then Brother Xu doesn't just ask, don't walk around at will, and take them away after reading it."
"It's nature."
After receiving Xiaohua's answer, Xu Fei nodded, greeted the two subordinates, and turned to leave.
Liu Zisang heard Xu Fei's name for Xiaohua, and said curiously: "Xiaohua, don't you call Xiaohua Xiaoyu?" ”
Hearing this, Xiaohua's face turned red, and she said angrily: "Liu Zisang! Who is calling you Xiaohua, how many times have you said that people have names, my name is Gu Yu! ”
It's really a pot that can't be opened, just take a nickname, and take such an ugly one......
"Hey, hey...... Forgot. Liu Zisang smiled awkwardly and politely, and said bluntly, "I think the name Xiaohua is also very good, the person is as beautiful as the name." ”
Listening to Liu Zisang's roundabout praise, Gu Yuqiao's face couldn't help but turn a little redder, settled down, and said in a low voice.
"Okay, come with me, I'll take you out, I'm not responsible for losing it."
Liu Zisang and Duoduo followed Gu Yu through the hall and corridor, through several courtyards, and saw many guards of various demon clans along the way, and when they saw Gu Yu, they all saluted, Gu Yu also nodded and smiled at the guards.
"Xiaohua, who are these people?"
"My father's subordinates, now I am temporarily acting as my father's captain, and they naturally salute when they see me."
Came to a secluded courtyard, the courtyard is not large, only a pair of stone tables, next to the stone table is a house, it seems to be used for rest.
"This is where I live temporarily, basically no one will come, you won't have a problem here for the time being." Gu Yu picked up the teapot on the table and poured water for the two of them, and poured a cup himself.
"You should have a lot to ask." Gu Yu looked at the two of them.
One person and one ape both nodded, Liu Zisang picked up the tea and drank it unceremoniously, and thought about it a lot: "Where is this?" ”
"Lanqiao Zhenyin City, Lanyin Hall, is jointly controlled by several major demon clans."
Liu Zisang and Duoduo were stunned when they heard this, they knew that there was a night market in the morning market, and they had never heard of a hidden market, but it seemed to be very powerful.
