Chapter 258: People don't die, they don't fight
The canopy boat traveled a few miles further by water, and the white fog on the river slowly receded, and not far away, there was a wide body of water, where the lights were bright, and the dense lights were like stars in the dark ghost city.
Elder Haoran pointed to the place of lights and asked Lu Ming, "That is the legendary Yin Ghost City!"
Lu Ming replied: "Yes, that is the Yin Ghost City, I really didn't expect that we would be able to pass through the dangerous Huangquan Road alive." ”
Elder Haoran said, "I have never seen the Yin Ghost City hidden in the darkness from this angle before, but I didn't expect that it would really be a different scene. Elder Haoran turned around and thanked the old man, "Along the way, it is all up to our seniors to save the day." ”
The old man said lightly: "You don't have to thank me, I am using people's money to eliminate disasters for others, since we have your benefits, it is our duty to send you to cross Huangquan Road safely, it is our duty, and it is a matter of course." ”
As he spoke, there was a loud "bang" from the awning boat and the dock of the Yin Ghost City, and the old man said to Elder Haoran and Lu Ming: "Two, your destination has arrived, please disembark from the boat." ”
Elder Haoran heard the old man's urging from the old man's words, and as soon as they got off the boat, the old man didn't even say hello, and hurriedly drove the boat away.
Elder Haoran asked suspiciously, "What's the matter with the senior, you left in such a hurry, as if you were running for your life?"
Lu Ming said: "This is also the rule of our Yin Ghost City, this Huangquan ferryman must not dock at the dock of the Yin Ghost City for too long, otherwise, it will cause unnecessary trouble, and even lead to killing, so he left in such a hurry." ”
Elder Haoran asked puzzledly, "There are still such rules in the Yin Ghost City, and why is that?"
Lu Ming explained: "The people who can come to the Yin Ghost City are not idle people, so to speak, the Yin Ghost City brings together the three sects and the nine streams, and there are many people who have advanced cultivation. Some of these people are reckless, some are fugitives from the government, and some are like you who came to inquire about the business, and they were forcibly left here because they violated the rules of the ghost market. If they want to leave here, they must have a guide to lead the way, and they have no way of knowing the identity and secrecy of our leader in the Ghost City......"
Elder Haoran thought that the identity of the Huangquan ferryman was extremely easy to be exposed, so he took Lu Ming's words and said, "Only the identity of this Huangquan ferryman is relatively public, so this Huangquan ferryman is the most vulnerable target. ”
"Yes, the last Huangquan ferryman was besieged and captured by those unruly people who wanted to leave here, and they forced him to take them out of the ghost city and killed them in vain. ”
Elder Haoran asked, "If someone is killed in the Yin Ghost City, is there no one to care?" ”
Lu Ming smiled faintly and said: "Yin Ghost City is a place where the weak and the strong eat, relying on your own ability to eat, as long as you don't violate the rules of the Yin Ghost Market, no matter what you do, no one cares." ”
"Could it be that this is also the rule of the Yin Ghost City? A few people forcibly let people take them away, and it is not considered to break the rules of the Yin Ghost City?"
"So, of course, those people all disappeared in the end. ”
"If that Yellow Spring Leader had taken them away from the Yin Ghost City, would he have disappeared with them?"
"Do you think they'll make it out of this sinister ghost market alive, and if so, why would he rather die?"
"Could it be that taking those who are left here out of the Yin Ghost City will end up worse than death?"
"It is a hundred times more cruel and terrifying than Ling Chi's execution, which can be imagined. ”
"What's that?"
Lu Ming laughed teasingly, "I didn't expect the elder's curiosity to be so great, it's a pity that I'm going to disappoint the elder, I can't give you the answer you want at all, because the people who know the answer have disappeared." ”
As the two walked, they talked about the rules of this Yin Ghost City, and Lu Ming said: "So Elder, when you come to this Yin Ghost City, please abide by the rules here, otherwise, not only you, but even I will be implicated and will die." ”
"Listen to you, there must be a force controlling everything here in this dark ghost city, otherwise even if you break the rules, no one will take care of you. ”
Lu Ming pointed to the figure walking far away and said: "Yes, the power to maintain the rules of this Yin Ghost City is everyone in this Yin Ghost City, as long as someone violates the rules of the Yin Ghost City, there will always be someone who comes out to clean up the portal." This person may be him, or it may be him...... In short, even if you die, you won't know who killed you. ”
Elder Haoran said, "I know, this person also includes you. ”
Lu Ming was silent to Elder Haoran's words.
As they spoke, they came to a room next to the pier, which was built in a very peculiar way, completely hollowed out of a huge stalactite in this hole, and the door was made of dark iron, which was closed with the wall formed by stalactites, and it seemed that this door had been locked from the inside, and no one outside could enter it.
The most peculiar thing about this house is that there are no windows, and only an inch square hole is opened from the side.
Elder Haoran quietly peeked through the entrance of the cave, it was pitch black inside, there was no light, and it didn't look like there were people inside.
Lu Ming walked to the entrance of the cave and said, "Lead the way, go down to the Yellow Spring, go out in a robe, and have a peace charm." ”
As soon as Lu Ming finished saying those few words, two black cloaks flew out of the black hole.
Lu Ming took the two black cloaks and handed one to Elder Haoran, and while he put on the black cloak, he said to Elder Haoran: "Put it on, he can protect your identity from being exposed in the Yin Ghost City, and protect your safety." ”
Elder Haoran put on the black cloak according to what Lu Ming said, and the black hat completely blocked the faces of the two people.
Lu Ming said: "I'll take you into the Yin Ghost City, during your time in the Yin Ghost City, don't let people see your face clearly, you can't expose your identity here, and you can't inquire about the identities of others, this is the rule of the Yin Ghost City, otherwise, we will stay here forever." The elders are here to buy news, and as soon as you get the news you want, we'll leave here. ”
Elder Haoran said: "Okay, everything depends on you, and this is not the first time we have cooperated, can't you still trust me?
Lu Ming said: "It's because it's not the first time I've brought you here, if others know about it, I'll be in trouble, in short, after entering the Yin Ghost City, you must not make any extraneous branches, and never expose the relationship between you and me." ”
Elder Haoran said impatiently, "I know, it's really verbose. ”
Lu Ming took Elder Haoran to the city gate of the Yin Ghost City, there were a few people coming in and out, the city tower was full of white lanterns, there were no guards here, and the city wall was at the gate, writing: "Yin Ghost City" Four blood-red characters.
Elder Haoran followed Lu Ming into the city, this place was still underground, although there was no warm sunlight, but the lights here were brilliant, as bright as day.
The dark ghost market hidden deep underground is also very lively, no less prosperous than the street market on the ground, and it seems that the people here have made a lot of money just by buying and selling news.
Most of the people in the Yin Ghost City are like Elder Haoran, wearing a black cloak, and they are like messengers from hell, walking through the streets and alleys of the Yin Ghost City.
Elder Haoran asked Lu Ming beside him softly, "Could it be that these people have all come to the Yin Ghost Market to buy and sell news?"
Lu Ming replied softly: "No, they did this because they didn't want others to know their identities or know their past, okay, don't talk anymore, we'll go to the place where you can get the news now." ”
As soon as Lu Ming's words fell, a soaring voice came from behind them, "What are you talking about, why don't you tell me about it." ”
Elder Haoran and Lu Ming turned around, and it turned out to be a person with a big knife on his shoulder and a fierce and vicious appearance.
Looking at this invincible figure in front of him, Elder Haoran was very unhappy, he glanced at Lu Ming beside him, and from Lu Ming's eyes, he saw that Lu Ming didn't know the person in front of him at all.
Elder Haoran replied with disdain to the high-flying and domineering person in front of him, "I want to know, you are not qualified enough. ”
The man who was fierce and showed his teeth and claws, said: "No one dares to talk to Lao Tzu like this, I think you are impatient." ”
Elder Haoran said contemptuously, "I also tell you that so far, no one has dared to speak to me with this attitude and tone......
That person heard Elder Haoran's words that were full of challenges and didn't buy it, and said angrily: "You have successfully provoked me, and today I will kill you in this Yin Ghost City." ”
Lu Ming looked at this posture, a fierce battle between Elder Haoran and that person was inevitable, Lu Ming said softly in Elder Haoran's ear: "Since you want to make a move, don't be merciful, 'people don't die, don't fight' This is also the rule of the Yin Ghost City, if you don't kill him, he will kill you." ”
Elder Haoran said, "I know, but I have another choice, which is to abolish his cultivation and spare his life."
