Chapter 918: Guardians?
"Is this?"
"Sure enough. The young man's voice came into Bai Ling's ears plainly, "This is still not a paradise!"
Her eyes widened in disbelief, and the shopkeeper in front of her looked inexplicable: "What are you talking about, guest? It's dangerous outside, you'd better hurry upstairs ......."
Yan Saburo nodded in response to "yes" and walked towards the stairs.
But when he was about to get to the shopkeeper, he picked up the tip of his sword and stabbed straight at the shopkeeper!
The sword is light and swift.
Bai Ling only felt a flower in front of her, and the shopkeeper actually retreated three feet away.
The smile on his face slowly retracted.
Yan Saburo stared at him and said, "Time is pressing, do you still have time to play tricks with us?" Bai Ling's sand in the bottle will only be quiet in the peach source. Now they're bouncing so badly, which meansβ
The shopkeeper shrugged: "In the current crisis, I should always try your catties." β
He stood up straight, looking still the same white and fat round face, and he was still the same Shengdou Xiaomin in the market, but there was something different.
Bai Ling asked tentatively, "You are the one who planted the illusion?" She had also seen illusions, but she had never heard of anything that could quietly change the environment so far.
The shopkeeper ignored her, just turned to Yan Saburo, and answered the question: "Where are the flaws?"
"Moonlight. β
When these two words were spoken, the shopkeeper let out a long "oh": "It's me who is lazy." β
Mo said that Bai Ling was confused, and Chitose was also displeased: "Hey, what does this mean?"
Yan Saburo explained to the two of them: "Do you remember that when we came out of the City Lord's Mansion, the moonlight and the stars were gone? β
"Yes, what's wrong?" the two women said almost in unison.
"Without stars and moons, we don't know where we've gone. β
Bai Ling Daqi: "Is this possible?"
Yan Saburo looked at the center of the street: "You are walking in the city, how do you know the way?"
"Street view. Bai Ling replied as a matter of course, and then came to her senses, "Ah, you mean, the streets and alleys we walked when we left the City Lord's Mansion last night were all fake?"
"Perhaps. Yan Saburo said softly, "The people behind the scenes can't set the entrance and exit to the Jedi here. But I put tracking things on both Nai Luo and Tu Xing'er, and I will definitely chase them to Tongyue Inn. So the "shopkeeper" in front of us forged an illusion, making us think that we had walked back to the Tongyue Inn. β
Bai Ling listened half-understood, and asked, "Why can't the Jedi's exit be set here?"
"Because, Tu Xing'er really rested at the Tongyue Inn. Yan Saburo's eyes flashed slightly, "I just went upstairs to take a look, and she is not in any of the guest rooms." In other words, this is still not the Tongyue Inn!"
As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper gave him a gentle applause: "Observe the details, good." β
The noises outside the door had stopped at some point, and there was only a dead silence.
Yan Saburo didn't care about the door, just stared at him and said, "Who are you?" or, 'you'?"
The man slowly leaned over to the counter: "I'm the one who takes care of the Taoyuan Realm. β
"You are the 'guardian' in the mouth of the Wu City Lord?"
The man shrugged: "Call it whatever you want." β
"Where's your name?" Yan Saburo narrowed his eyes, "It won't happen to be called Wang Mingzhi, right?"
The man smiled, and his expression was indispensable: "Whatever you want." β
Yan Saburo walked to the door and pushed it open.
As he expected, the long street and the shops were gone, and there was a field overgrown with grass outside.
He opened the door abruptly, startling two thrushes in the grass. "How far is it from Taoyuan?"
"A few miles. β
Yan Saburo asked him, "Why did you arrange the illusion of a hungry ghost entering the city to show us?"
"Because ......," Wang Ming sighed, "This is the scene that will appear later, but I will rehearse it for you." β
Bai Ling and Yan Saburo both understood what this meant: "The Sea God Envoy and the Hungry Ghosts have invaded the Peach Spring, why don't you take them away from the Peach Source Realm like they did with us?"
"I can't. Wang Ming said straight word by word, "The creatures in the Hungry Ghost Dao must not leave Taoyuan!"
Yan Saburo looked at him fixedly, and only asked after a while, "You are the guardian." Is it the realm of the dying, or the barrier seal of the Hungry Ghost Dao?"
In retrospect, Yan Saburo was also a little surprised. Near the entrance to the Dying Realm, there is actually a crack in the ground that leads directly to the Hungry Ghost Road!
What's going on?
"Both. β
Bai Ling's gaze was a little unkind: "Why did you send us into a desperate situation?"
"As you have seen, there are too many hungry ghosts who cross the border, and they pose a threat to the barriers. Wang Mingzhi sighed, "I need someone to go in regularly to help me clean up the hungry ghosts." β
Bai Ling said angrily: "Then you will send people in and send them to death?"
He spread his hands: "You are all here for a request, you might as well see this as a trial." β
Seeing his expression understated, Bai Ling remembered the human bones he saw in a desperate situation. Those are all big living people, who have worked hard to finally get close to the legendary dying realm, but they were caught in a desperate situation by the guy in front of them and buried in the belly of the ghost!
She almost followed in the footsteps of these people.
The little girl's chest rose and fell in anger, and she was about to say more, but Yan Saburo raised his hand and interrupted her: "In your trial, does it also include the Seagod Envoy attacking the Hungry Ghost Dao Boundary Barrier and leading the crowd to kill into the Taoyuan Realm?"
When he said this, Wang Mingzhi's expression was not as calm as before.
"There are exceptions to everything. Those people were also evil ghosts, and I didn't even notice them beforehand, but they killed the ghost king and gathered a crowd to escape. He finally showed a solemn expression, "What are you calling them, Seagod Envoy?"
"Those are the ghosts of the Hidden Nation, who have crossed the barrier and come to earth with the help of human skins. For so many years, they have persevered in their search for ......"
Wang Mingzhi's face changed, and he suddenly spoke: "Looking for the realm of dying." β
Yan Saburo was a little surprised: "You know?"
"So those monsters are the Hidden Remnants?" Wang Mingzhi muttered, "This is troublesome." β
He walked to the door and slowly closed it. "One of my duties is to guard the Hungry Ghost Dao barrier so that things that come out of there cannot escape into the human world. Therefore, I am afraid that they will soon wreak havoc on Taoyuan. β
Bai Ling couldn't help it: "You don't care?"
"I'll shoot, but I'm not skilled. Wang Mingzhi smiled bitterly, "I still need your cooperation." By the way, the city lord of Wu will also be a big help. β
Yan Saburo suddenly said: "He is also an outsider, why didn't you throw him and his subordinates into a desperate situation?"
"Originally, I had planned to do so, but I found that he was more qualified to be a city lord. Wang Ming waved his hand, "Time is running out." You repel the remnants of the Lost Remnant, and I can guarantee you your wishes. After all, those who came here with the Cangwu Stone have a wish that needs to be fulfilled urgently, don't they?"
