Chapter Twenty-Nine: Life and Death Mission, Rainbow Immortal City
Dusk put away the long line full of sorrow, with black eyes looking at the earth, when the sunset pulls down the night, for some reason, it always seems to give people a feeling of loneliness, maybe sad, maybe lonely, unpredictable.
Lian Yi stood outside a huge city gate, looking at the three big characters of Hongxian City in the city, he didn't move for a long time, he knew that the life and death task that belonged to him finally opened, and after that, no one knew what kind of road there would be, he began to wander, and he was a little hesitant, because today he is this Xuanling Tian's blood hidden Jiuxin, and in the future, he will still be Lian Yi of the Dongyuan Continent, and he can't change.
He tightened the green bone in his hand, as if he had found a point of firmness, the previous crimson spar had long since disappeared, leaving only the first task in his mind: to solve the mystery of the night ghost crying in Rainbow Immortal City.
Shaking his head, he didn't think about it anymore, he took the first step in Rainbow Immortal City, and maybe the first step on the road in the future, gradually drifting away......
"It is forbidden to go out of the city after sunset, and if nothing happens, come back tomorrow morning. ”
In front of the city gate, the two city guards on duty stopped Lian Yi who wanted to enter the city.
"Two big brothers, it's convenient to ask why there is such a sunset ban in this city?"
Lian Yi raised his head, and then he saw the faces of the two city guards, with horizontal eyebrows and eyes, stubble and sideburns, looking fierce, but it didn't give people a sense of cruelty, but it seemed that he had experienced something and did it unintentionally.
"It's okay, if you want to enter, we will let you go, but after this watch, the city gate is closed, and no one is on duty, so you can do it yourself. ”
When the castle keeper had finished speaking, he stepped aside and said no more.
Lian Yi is also used to it, the people who appear in this mission are not as good as the main town, they are not the native residents of this Xuan Ling Tian, but they seem to be created for some special reasons, many times, no matter what they say to them, they will eventually go back to the origin they want to express, at least the people he met before.
Despite this, Lian Yi still bowed slightly to the two of them, and thanked them, so he stopped saying nothing and walked inside, without looking back. At the same time, the city guard, who was originally expressionless, turned his eyes and then returned to his original state.
"This place is indeed strange, and it is not a day or two for the ghosts to cry this night. "Seeing the vendors on the street unhurriedly tidying up their stalls, but this is the so-called one more people, two more fire, three more ghosts, and this day has just fallen, and the first watch has not arrived, if you really hide from the night ghost crying, you don't have to be so early.
He approached a candy kneader who was cleaning up the sugar utensils and said, "Uncle, why do you have to pack up the stall so early?"
The master turned around and saw Lian Yi, and the horror that flashed was in Lian Yi's eyes.
"The tenth. The master turned his head and didn't pay attention to Lian Yi, just muttered to himself, but he didn't know what he meant.
"What? what tenth?" Lian Yi asked, frowning.
The master didn't stop, he didn't reply, he still muttered the tenth.
"Uncle, can you tell me what does this tenth mean?" Lian Yi's brows tightened more and more, there must be something strange in this.
But the more anxious he was, the more the master didn't react, and he just cleaned up the sugar utensils by himself, neither slowly nor slowly.
Lian Yi had no choice, so he stretched out his hand to help him clean up the stall, thinking that if he cleaned up as soon as possible, he would have time to answer his own questions.
Just as Lian Yi's hands were about to touch the mold, the master turned his head suddenly, the expression on his face was distorted to the extreme, as if he was frightened and angry, and there was a trace of unwillingness and pity, and he roared in an extremely hoarse voice: "Get out! You are the tenth masked man to come here!"
The sudden change shocked Lian Yi to instantly retreat and swing his sickle, and just when the green bone blade was about to cut off the master's head, it stopped.
I saw that everyone on the entire street stopped what they were doing, looked at Lian Yi with hideous faces, and did not move.
In this way, after a long stalemate, the expression on the sugar man's face gradually recovered, and he turned to go about his work again, while the other people on the street also returned to their original appearance, as if nothing had happened, except for the green bone that was on the master's shoulder.
Lian Yi slowly retracted his scythe blade and took two steps back.
"Dare to ask, is there a small shop here?" At this time, Lian Yi didn't know who he was asking, staring nervously at these strange people, not daring to relax the slightest.
If it's outside, leave or have a big fight, but in this life and death mission, no one knows what will happen next, after all, there was a time when he killed most of the villains in the mission, and because of this, he upgraded the mission and almost died there.
"A mile ahead, there is an old friend who has lived for a long time, but it is comfortable. At this time, the master turned around and looked at him with a kind smile on his face, and the strange scene not only made people's hair stand on end, but also looked at the people on the street, and they were also smiling, if they had not seen the previous scene, it would have made people feel that this was a town full of enthusiasm.
Lian Yi clenched his fists slightly, did not stay longer, in the eyes of everyone's "friendly", he hurried away, and the green bone sickle blade never left his hand, until an inn with a half-hidden curtain door appeared in front of him, a plaque was erected in front of the door, and the four big characters of "old friends have lived for a long time" had some fairy wind crane bones.
He breathed a sigh of relief, walked over slowly, and lifted the curtain with green bones, only to see that the decoration inside was very simple, compared to Zi Sangxu's small shop, it was more like a normal tavern inn.
"How many guest officers?"
Looking for prestige, I saw a woman dressed in white and stepping on red shoes, walking down from the upper floor, if she hadn't stepped on the stairs, Lian Yi would have taken her on the spot.
"One. Lian Yi replied in a deep voice.
At this moment, a man in the corner with the same face on his face turned his head.
"Brother Jiuxin?"
Lian Yi looked at it, and originally thought that the people sitting in it were all people in the mission, but now he saw the person who hid his face, but he was slightly happy, but in the past ten days, he had seen too many people, and he couldn't remember who this was for a while.
"There are still two words. At this time, the woman in white spoke.
"Thank you. Lian Yi turned his head, thanked him, took the key card and walked to the person who had just spoken.
"Brother Tai is ......" He clenched his fists slightly, but he didn't know how to resolve this slight embarrassment.
"Brother Jiuxin is a noble person who forgets things, and he is in Xia Pengbei. The man stood up and clenched his fists.
"I remember, it was the first person I made friends with when I first entered Xuan Ling Tian. Lian Yi looked at Peng Bei slightly, and then said with a smile: "But I can't blame me, Brother Peng Bei changed his clothes, and under this side, he was tested." ”
Brother Jiuxin laughed. Peng Bei said, made a gesture of invitation with one hand, and motioned for Lian Yi to sit opposite and dine together, "Although it is a task place, this meal is really acceptable, if you don't dislike it, you said: "There are people to treat, and there is wine as a companion, I will not shirk in the future, and it will be a waste of money." With that, the green bone stood beside him, and he sat down.
Brother Jiuxin laughed, and it didn't cost money. This time, it was Peng Bei's turn to scratch his head, slightly embarrassed, and even Yi didn't say more, took a set of dishes and chopsticks from the next table, picked up the wine jug and poured a bowl for Peng Beihe and himself. At this moment, Lian Yi paused slightly, as if he remembered something, and did not say anything more.
"Brother Jiuxin, do you have something on your mind?" Faced with the sudden quietness, Peng Bei was a little confused.
"No, it's Brother Peng who came this time to complete this life and death task?" Lian Yi drank half a bowl, feeling that this wine was not a familiar taste, so he didn't think about it anymore.
"Exactly, presumably Brother Jiuxin is also like me, we are destined. Peng Bei also drank a big sip of soju, "If you don't give up, Brother Jiuxin can call me Peng Bei." ”
"Well, you can also call me Jiuxin. ”
Lian Yi smiled, took a mouthful of green vegetables and put them in his mouth, and when he learned that it tasted good, he ate it.
And the woman in white who was originally standing in front of the counter disappeared at some point, and the people who were originally sitting in the lobby also dispersed in twos and threes, and for a time there were only two people left in the hall on the first floor.
"I don't know what Peng Bei's first task is?" seemed random, but Lian Yi didn't have the slightest doubt between his words, and he couldn't even hear any emotion.
"Jiuxin, what about you?" Peng Bei also ate the dishes again and did not look up.
However, the two stopped at the same time, and then looked up at each other, as if they had already discussed. Immediately, the two looked at each other, smiled and spoke at the same time.
"Break the night ghost crying. ”
"Untie the night ghost crying line. ”
After speaking, the two smiled and raised their glasses and drank down. The previous vigilance has disappeared, even if it is not mentioned that the previous predicament is accompanied by the coordinates, at least, at this time, the two have the same goal.
I don't know how long it took, but the hustle and bustle outside the store was much quieter, and it was getting darker, and a little bit of seclusion filled the town.
"So, you're also taken aback by their weird behavior. ”
Peng Bei arrived at the bowl of wine and said with a smile.
"Naturally, I didn't expect that no matter who we asked, it was the same situation. Lian Yi shook his head helplessly and ate a mouthful of food.
"So I'm the ninth, you're the tenth, and there are eight more people here before us?" Peng Bei said with a smile, but there was no playfulness in his tone, but there was a hint of expectation and hesitation.
Then both of them fell silent, and no one spoke.
After a long time, Lian Yi took the lead in breaking the situation: "There is one thing, I don't know if the guess is accurate." ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"Perhaps, those eight have disappeared, and this time, it's just the two of us. ”
He raised his head upwards and motioned for Peng Bei to look back at something.
I saw that above the stairs, there were only two guest rooms, and one of them was the "Shangzi Second Room" mentioned by the woman in white just now.
"If everyone who comes here would come here with the same opening, then there would never be only two rooms upstairs. Lian Yi said in a deep voice.
But suddenly, the two suddenly realized that the key cards of the two rooms upstairs were on the two of them at this time, where did the woman in white go up and down?
The two quickly jumped up, leaned together nervously, and looked straight upstairs to the pavilion, Peng Bei instantly showed the platinum bone whip, and Lian Yi also lifted the green bone sickle blade beside him, and the demonic power was released, sensing everything around him.
"It's dry, watch out for candles. ”
The gong sounded outside the store, and the day came.
The town, which was supposed to be full of people, was quiet for a moment, leaving only the flickering candles in the store, and the sentence that kept echoing in the minds of the two people: "After the first watch, the city gate is closed and ...... death"
