Chapter 99: The City of the Damned (2)
The three of them entered a tavern, the owner of the tavern, a fifty-year-old man, dressed in a gray brocade silk shirt with a goatee, and when they entered, he was counting the copper coins on the counter, "one hundred and eighty-six, one hundred and eighty-seven, one hundred and eighty-eight......
Hearing the footsteps, the old man looked up at them and saw that they were outsiders, all dressed in extraordinary clothes. At first, they were surprised, and then they smiled into a brilliant chrysanthemum and walked towards them: "Three distinguished guests, please come in!"
At this time, a man in a blue cloth coat, with a towel on his shoulder, was walking out from behind the counter with a large wine jar, and saw a guest come in, and quickly put the wine jar next to the row of wine jars against the wall. Then he quickly walked over and greeted them, "What kind of wine do the guests drink?" The wine in the small shop is famous far and wide, guarantee everyone, take a sip and want to take two sips, I can't put it down!"
This Fang Buyan was going to drink two glasses, but as soon as he saw the same appearance of the guy and the tavernkeeper, the addiction to alcohol went down, and all that was left was horror. He couldn't hide his words, so he naturally asked his doubts, "Hey, you are relatives, why do you look the same?"
The tavernkeeper's smile froze on his face, didn't these three people come in to drink?
Xia Qingning naturally took the tavernkeeper's expression into his eyes, and said gently: "Good wine and good food are on it!" After that, he pretended to pay money, but he summoned a silver ingot from the storage bag and put it on the table, and the happy boss's smile became bigger and bigger, and he stretched out his hand to collect the money and put it in his pocket.
"Gotcha!" the man immediately went down to work.
Xia Qingning invited the tavern owner to sit down, "Please!"
When a guest invited him to eat and drink for nothing, the tavern owner was naturally happy and sat down unceremoniously.
This party is not stained, "You haven't replied to me yet, boss!"
The mouth of the eater is short, and the hand of the taker is short.
This time, the tavern owner happily replied to Fang Buyan's words, "How can you say this? Heaven and earth conscience, this guy is really not my relative!"
The three of them listened attentively.
The man came up with the wine and food, put the whole chicken and fish and two side dishes on the table, and put the wine jug and wine glass down. "The three of you eat slowly, and if you have something to call me, it's good to call me. He went to pour his wine again.
Xia Qingning and Chu Xiyin nodded politely to signal that they had heard, as for Fang Buyan, he still looked at the tavern owner curiously, waiting for his next words, worried that he would forget what he wanted to say, and did not forget to set his words, half joking and half seriously teasing, "That's your son?
Xia Qingning filled each of them with a glass of wine, and the tavern owner was addicted to alcohol, so he tilted his neck and dried up.
Xia Qingning filled him another glass.
Fang Buyan picked up his wine glass, "Come, let's have a drink!" The four of them raised their wine glasses, Fang Buyan and the tavern owner were all dry, while Xia Qingning and Chu Xiyin quietly listened to what the tavern owner said.
The tavern owner tugged at the corners of his mouth, held his forehead for a while, and then sighed: "He's not my son either, I think you're asking me why everyone in the city looks the same, right?"
This is to the point, and it is worthy of being a businessman.
He took a chicken leg and took it with his hand, eating and drinking Xia Qingning's full wine, no wonder Xia Qingning was cunning, and used a small spell to make the tavern owner swallow the "mantra spell".
Seeing the tavern owner drink this glass of wine, Fang Buyan smiled like a cat who had stolen a fishy one, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he also picked up the wine glass and drank it all with his neck up.
"Don't hide it from the boss, when I came into this city, I saw people on the street, and I was shocked that I thought there was a monster doing it. But if you look closely, those are all mortals, and there is nothing wrong with them. Xia Qingning was blunt.
The tavern owner shook his head and sighed again, Fang Buyan poured him another glass of wine, and after the tavern owner raised his neck and drank it, he said: "The whole city doesn't know when it looks more and more similar, and I won't tell you that even the people in our city can't tell who is who?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them were not surprised, and they couldn't tell the difference between them.
"I heard from the old people in the city, when we people here realized this situation, it was two hundred years ago, and the children born in the city that year all looked the same, and since then our city has become what you see!"
The more Fang Buyan listened, the more interesting he felt, and he couldn't help but ask, "Then don't you think it's strange?
The tavern owner sighed again, "How can it not be strange? Several virtuous and respected sages in the city have asked many capable people to come and see, and they all say that they have been cursed by Su Chang's hatred, and they want us to live in endless nightmares forever." ”
"Su Chang is crazy, can't he know the truth that everything doesn't affect the innocent?" Fang Buyan slapped the table, and the sound of collision between the dishes was constant.
The tavern owner drank all the wine in his glass in one gulp, "Alas, he was broken into thousands of pieces, chopped into mashed meat, and thrown into the Yunxia River in this city, how could he not hate?
Chu Xiyin was shocked, and was chopped into pieces of flesh by someone, how much hatred does that have? She looked at Xia Qingning, and both of them saw the shock and understanding in each other's eyes. No wonder, no wonder there is such a cruel curse!
Xia Qingning was anxious to know if the answer he guessed was correct, "There are so many capable people, can't they be cracked?"
"At that time, the Ye family was the first immortal cultivator in the city, and they did their best, and they also took the life of their own son, but they didn't subdue the ghost of Su Chang's hatred. Later, those capable people in the other world went to disappear one by one, and this matter was gone, and it became what it is today. ”
Sure enough, there is a story!
Chu Xiyin glanced at Xia Qingning, Xia Qingning understood, and looked at the tavern owner, "Can you tell us in detail what is going on?"
The tavern owner shook his head, "I'm afraid only that corpse in the White Stone Hall of Bairen Mountain knows about this." It's been too long, and I don't know the rest!"
The ghost in the Yunxia River: Su Chang hates!
The female corpse in the White Stone Temple!
The three of them asked what they wanted to know, thanked the tavern owner, and left the tavern.
As soon as he got out of the tavern, Fang Buyan rushed directly to the opposite corner, found a place to retch, vomited for a long time, his face was red, but nothing came out.
Xia Qingning and Chu Xiyin looked at each other, and only after the man returned to the team did they understand what was going on? "I drank two glasses of wine, and the only water source in this city is the Yunxia River!"
Chu Xiyin understood.
Xia Qingning didn't care, "It's been two hundred years, and the minced meat is long gone!"
Hearing this, Fang Buyan retched again, and his fingers didn't forget to point at Xia Qingning, the bastard who watched the excitement, "You definitely did Xia Qingning on purpose!"
Xia Qingning ignored him, took Chu Xiyin's hand and walked forward, looking in the direction of Wanren Mountain, planning to go to the White Stone Hall of Wanren Mountain to have a look.
Fang Buyan, who vomited for a while and didn't vomit anything, followed the footsteps of the two and trotted all the way to walk side by side with them, "Hey, I said that you two have no conscience, don't you have any sympathy?
This cursed city is really sparsely populated, and after walking for almost half an hour, I found that there was not even a human figure around. Xia Qingning summoned Hanlu, the three of them jumped on the Hanlu Sword, Chu Xiyin played an invisible enchantment, and the three of them flew towards Wanren Mountain with a sword.
This is never as fast as flying, after a pillar of incense, they arrived at Wanren Mountain, flew for a while, and stopped in front of the White Stone Palace.
The white stone hall is made of huge white stones, with a height of 3.8 meters, a width of 13.8 meters, and a length of 33.8 meters. The surrounding wall is only one meter high, and the three of them are all high-level monks who have opened the eyes of the sky, and there is something strange about this wall at a glance. It seems that someone is planning to trap the contents and prevent it from coming out. ”
Even more bizarre is a tomb built on the opposite side, which is also made of white stone. The tomb is about three meters high, three meters wide, and three meters long.
They looked at the majestic white stone hall and then at the tall tomb made of white stone on the opposite side, and the three of them were shocked at the same time.
Xia Qingning looked at the surrounding mountains and frowned, "There is no grass, and I am angry, I am afraid that there is a ghost in that tomb." ”
It was noon, but they could still feel the chill around the grave.
"I'm afraid that the one inside is not a good stubble!" Fang Buyan pointed to the four high-level monks' short swords for them to see, "Look at the forging of their short swords and the spirit stones decorated on the hilt of their swords, they are definitely not ordinary." ”
Xia Qingning and Chu Xiyin agreed with him this time.
"No matter how dangerous it is, I have to go to the meeting!" Chu Xiyin hooked her lips and smiled, she didn't want Xue Yan to have an accident. has nothing to do with love, just for his dedication to Princess Shanruo, he is worthy of her Chu Xiyin to be born and die for him.
Xia Qingning was more conflicted with Xue Yan, first, he didn't want to owe Xue Yan anything, after all, Xue Yan was seriously injured so that they could come out of the Ten Thousand Demon Tomb;
The three of them raised their legs and walked towards the white stone hall where the gate of the temple was closed, thinking that it would take some effort to open the red wooden door, but as soon as they stepped forward, the door opened automatically.
Then, the candles inside lit automatically, and they could see the structure and furnishings of the main hall. Although it hasn't been inhabited for a long time, it's clean and weird. The interior is all made of wood, and the tall mahogany columns support the main hall, and the cold air and moisture attach to the columns, as if this is an ice cellar.
Since the person came in, the door closed with a "bang", and the three of you, you look at me, I look at you, all hehe. This ghost here is really not small, dare to lock them up? Okay, very good!
In the main hall, there are only the skeletons of people who have been dead for many years in strange shapes, some with big mouths that are obviously scared to death, some leaning against the pillars with their bodies facing down, some who have obviously been cut in the waist, and some who have had their throats cut......
"Mamma Mia, is this hell on earth or a murder scene?" Fang Buyan counted the skeletons he saw as he walked, "Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen......"
