Chapter 231: Nightmare Beads

"It's ......"

Jiang Sheng looked at the two beads, one red and one blue, slightly stunned.

After making sure that there was no more strange aura left in the beads, Jiang Sheng picked up the two beads.

The two beads look like capsules encased in just one outer skin.

The inside resembles an unknown gum, and it may also be an oily substance.

It was a little soft to pinch, and before he knew how to use this thing, Jiang Sheng temporarily put it into a cloth bag, and then hung it around his waist.

But looking at these two beads, he also faintly felt a touch of inspiration in his heart.

He knew very little about weird things, and he needed more sources for them.

Nie Yuan seemed to be a good target for inquiry.

He cleaned up the traces of the place a little.

Then he went down the hill, turned over his horse, and galloped away in the direction of Sanpokou.

It was already dusk, Jiang Sheng delayed, and when he arrived at Sanpokou, it was already midnight.

The topography of these three slopes is indeed somewhat interesting.

In front of it is a large river dozens of zhang wide, and the three slopes are three roads that converge from three directions, forming three upward ramps here.

Above the ramp is a foundation well above the riverbed, and several iron cables are stretched across the river, and solid planks are laid on top of it, which is a bridge that can cross the river.

However, if you want to cross this bridge, it will cost a lot of money.

Behind this bridge is also in the hands of the powerful family.

Many of the people who did business on both sides of the river did not have enough money to cross the river, so they simply set up stalls on the foundations on both banks.

Different specialties on both sides of the river were transported by merchants who had the ability to travel to and from the bridge.

Over time, such trading also contributed to the gradual formation of a large-scale merchant town in Sanpokou.

At the same time, it has also given birth to a group of river merchants who specialize in crossing the river to buy low and sell high.

When Jiang Sheng came here, it wasn't brightly lit, but there was a lot of light.

followed the place to find it, and soon he found Nie Yuan and the others who were staying in the inn.

At this time, they naturally had not fallen asleep.

Now that they are worried about Jiang Sheng's situation, the three of them can't sleep.

ordered a table of wine and food, and sat in the tavern waiting for Jiang Sheng's news.

The oil lamp flickered, and a cold wind mixed with the smell of fish blew through the door.

The sudden gale made the shopkeeper shiver.

Nie Yuan and the others also frowned slightly, protecting the fire candle on the table, so that the fire candle was not extinguished.

After the wind passed, the shopkeeper began to put on the candles that had been blown out one by one.

However, when he lit a candle standing on a pillar, the light of the fire reflected a faint figure behind the pillar.

"Ahh

The shopkeeper was directly frightened, and opened his mouth uncontrollably and called out directly.

Nie Yuan and the others immediately turned their heads to look when they heard the sound, and when they saw the figure behind the pillar, they all felt a chuckle in their hearts, and then from under their buttocks, there seemed to be an electric current, rushing straight to their heads from their backs.

All of a sudden, they sobered up, not to mention, and a layer of white sweat immediately crawled out of their backs.

"Ghosts! Hell! Although no one shouted, only this sentence was the most suitable for the state of mind in their hearts at this time.

The shopkeeper is just fine, if you really want to talk about it, in fact, the current situation is the most frightening for Nie Yuan and the others.

The shopkeeper didn't know the man, but they did!

It wasn't Jiang Sheng who appeared behind the pillar, who else could it be?

Such a strange way of appearing, coupled with his uncertain face in the light of the fire.

Immediately, the three of them thought of a terrible thing.

"Could it be that Jiang Sheng has already suffered that strange harm at this time, and now he has found his head with the connection between them?"

As soon as such thoughts appeared, they could no longer contain the thoughts in their hearts.

One by one, they stared at Jiang Sheng as if they were facing a great enemy, and the blood and qi in their bodies were surging, as if they wanted to fight at any time.

"Go and serve some more wine and food, I've been running around all day, and I don't have time to rest."

At this moment, Jiang Sheng behind the pillar spoke.

The shopkeeper looked at Jiang Sheng with a confused expression.

"What? Without? ”

The shopkeeper woke up like a dream, and he shook his head again and again: "No, no, there are still others, the guest officer will send it to you later!" ”

With that, he hurried out.

Although he hadn't seen weirdness, could he have never heard of it?

If this person in front of him was really weird, he would have died a long time ago, where had he ever seen a weird person saying such a thing?

Either way, it's still a small shopkeeper who is well-informed and bold.

He had already run to prepare to eat, and Nie Yuan and the others on the side were still on guard.

Their eyes were fixed on Jiang Sheng, as if Jiang Sheng would immediately rush forward to perform their own tricks as long as Jiang Sheng made the slightest movement that was wrong.

Jiang Sheng was interesting to watch, and originally wanted to use his body method to teleport in front of them, but now that he thinks about it, forget it.

There's no need to spur these three cowards to that extent.

I don't know what they're going to do.

"Okay, just kidding you, I already came here just now, but I was just avoiding you."

Nie Yuan saw that Jiang Sheng came to him, and there was nothing strange in his face and eyes, so he was slightly relieved.

After beckoning Jiang Sheng to sit down, he asked, "Brother Jiang, where is that little girl?" ”

Jiang Sheng said: "That little girl is also dead, possessed by a strange person, and when I found it, she was already helpless." ”

Nie Yuan gasped: "Then how did you escape?" ”

They didn't find that the little girl had the slightest trace of being possessed, and this kind of thing can only show that the weirdness of the little girl is about to be extremely terrifying.

Jiang Sheng said naturally: "It's impossible to escape, I'm being targeted by weirdness, doesn't it mean that there is no possibility of escaping?" I just killed him as well. ”

Nie Yuan: ......

Shi Xing and Qi Fei were also a little speechless for a while.

They were now unsure of what Jiang Sheng was like.

And coupled with the strange existence, the three of them were not even sure whether Jiang Sheng was a human or a ghost now.

Seeing this, Jiang Sheng took off the cloth bag around his waist and poured out two beads from the cloth bag.

Putting these two beads in the palm of his hand, he looked at Nie Yuan and said, "Do you know what this thing is, the relic I found from the ashes after killing that strange ghost." ”

As soon as Nie Yuan heard this, he immediately became interested.

He came closer, stared at the bead carefully, and after looking at it for a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat back.

"Brother Jiang, come next time, don't scare my brother so much, I'm very uneasy about your brother like this."

"It's really hard to tell the difference!"

Jiang Sheng grinned and responded.

I listened to Nie Yuandao: "I also dared to believe what you said after seeing this thing you took out." ”

"That weirdness seems to have been solved by you, Brother Jiang, and Brother Jiang, your strength must have been hidden before, otherwise it would never have been possible to achieve this level."

"Ordinary people may not know the origin of these two beads, but I do know some."

On the side, Shi Xing and Qi Fei also pricked their ears.

"These two beads should be nightmare beads that ordinary people rarely see."

"It is said to be the essence that has survived after being refined."

"Generally, there is only one, and it is rare to have two, these two nightmare beads mean that the weirdness has a very high and profound realm, at least it is certain that it has the ability to be different from ordinary people."

Jiang Sheng asked, "Then what are these two Nightmare Beads for?" ”

Nie Yuan said: "It is said that some refining masters who make blades can forge this nightmare bead into a weapon, and once the forging is successful, this weapon will turn into a magic weapon. ”

"It's not that it means to be demonic, it's just that this weapon has an ability similar to that of a demon, eroding the mind and the like, which is mysterious."

"Some people also say that this bead can be used as a medicine and used for alchemy, although it can't immediately improve the realm, but after taking this pill, the cultivation speed in the future will be a few points faster than before."

"In addition, it can also be used to draw talismans, I heard that the talismans drawn are quite terrifying, that is a means to approach the inhuman immortals, and now I just want to find someone to draw it, and few can draw it."

Jiang Sheng said again: "Then this time there will be two Nightmare Beads, is there anything to say?" ”

Nie Yuan thought about it, and then shook his head: "This doesn't seem to have any special words, right?" ”

"But Brother Jiang, if you're really interested in this, you might as well wait until you go to Babel City to ask."

"There's a family out there that makes a living by helping people get rid of weirdness, and they definitely know the inside story in more detail."

As he was talking, the shopkeeper had already brought the wine and food.

Jiang Sheng secretly wrote down the name of this family, and then devoured it.

A peaceful night.

Early the next morning, Jiang Sheng and the others continued to move forward and set foot on the road to Babel City.

It's just that this time, except for Jiang Sheng who still seems to be in good spirits, Nie Yuan and the others seem to be heavily tired.

Jiang Sheng watched it interestingly, knowing that these three people must have not slept all night.

I thought that after the martial artists in this world had the means to restrain the weird, they should no longer have such an obvious fear of the weirdness itself.

At least in Jiang Sheng's opinion, as long as it is a monster that can light up the blood bar, it is impossible for him to have any fear.

But it seemed that the weirdness here was much more difficult than he had imagined.

Otherwise, it would not have left such a deep impression in the hearts of Nie Yuan and the others, so that even the slightest possibility of doubt would make it so difficult for them.

After that, there were no more accidents on the road.

The four of them traveled all the way, and they didn't encounter anything weird again.

However, the rumors of the safflower dart increased as more and more pedestrians gathered from all directions.

The most discussed among everyone is naturally about the strength of the safflower dart.

"It looks like it's going to be messy for a while, and I don't know when it's going to be a head." Nie Yuan sighed.

Jiang Sheng looked at him and said, "What do you say?" ”

Nie Yuan said: "The strength of the red dart is really expanding too fast, and it is really a little abnormal. ”

"When I heard about the safflower darts two years ago, they were just a group of relatively large bandits, and the strongest ones at that time were just practicing dirty realms."

"It's just that they are more trustworthy and obedient than other bandits."

"Naturally, we didn't want to target them, but we cooperated with them in some ways."

"Who knew that in less than two years, their strength had already swelled to such a point, not only did they annex all the bandits and rogues around them to their command, but they didn't know what means they used, and their strength also increased rapidly in a short period of time."

"Now the cultivation of the dirty realm can only be regarded as their small leader at most, the real big leaders are at least practicing the marrow, and even the strong people who practice the trick realm have it, this kind of strength is simply terrifying!"

Jiang Sheng asked: "Then if it is put in the past, how will this kind of bandit be cleaned up in the end?" Didn't the imperial court send someone over? ”

Nie Yuan smiled: "The imperial court? The imperial court is already too busy to take care of itself, where can it still reach out to such a place? ”

"In the past, if these bandits were interested, after they developed to a certain extent, they would leave this place and go to the Qingzhou realm."

"That is their territory, the real emperor is far away, bandits are rampant, and no one cares about them at all."

"First, it's because there's really no one over there who can control them, and there are at least officials and soldiers here, and secondly, it's because of this Tongtian City."

"If they don't leave, they will provoke the forces of Tongtian City, and then there will naturally be people from these martial arts holy places to clean them up."

"But this time, I feel that these people from the red darts are afraid that they are not good, and they will not necessarily choose to retreat, but will argue with Babel City."

"After all, Qingzhou has been in chaos for more than ten years, and the territory that should be divided has already been swallowed clean, if the safflower dart wants to develop, the best place is here, Tongtian City has become an obstacle for those bandits and bandits, if their so-called righteous army really wants to achieve a career in the future, Tongtian City will definitely become a thorn in their side."

After Nie Yuan analyzed it, he finally concluded: "We are going to Tongtian City on this trip, I am afraid that we will not be at peace in the end, and when the time comes, we will learn from our teachers in Tongtian City, and after we really encounter those red darts, I am afraid that people like us will rush to the front, which is really unlucky in the previous life." ”

Jiang Sheng smiled, he felt quite normal about Nie Yuan's bad luck.

In this kind of era, once the imperial court does not have strong control, it is natural that there will be problems due to various things.

But it's just like what Nie Yuan said.

The speed at which the strength of the red dart is increased is a little too fast.

If you count the consumption of various cultivation resources.

These bandit-born mud legs, their cultivation speed may be able to lift shoes for the super genius of the second senior brother.

Compared to his own cultivation speed with the Soul Melting Secret Technique, it is naturally not comparable.

But this kind of rapid improvement did make Jiang Sheng feel a little curious and expectant.

Especially coupled with the strange existence, the possible improvement of the direction of the divine soul really made Jiang Sheng a little unstoppable.
